The List - 7 of Anime's Worst Sore Losers

I don't know why you waited but Thank You for getting it and not being an outright anti-vaxxer. Vaccination is very important and isn't just about your own health: Babies, the sick, and some people for health reasons, can't get vaccinated and are very vulnerable to preventable diseases, which can be spread even by people who are not affected themselves.

Also I'd love to see a NA release of Mai Mai Miracle. Why on earth hasn't that happened already?

The UK release is region-free (because it's also the Kickstarter release).

The flu vaccine's enough of a crapshoot that less than half of people can be bothered to get it. It's got nothing to do with being an anti-vaxxer.

Seeing how Cell was trying to blow up the Earth,

But it's very hard to take Beerua seriously as a poor loser when you compare him to Gods from mythology; Did he turn Kai into a croquet ball? No, he lost his planet so he got off easy.

As to an earlier post, Cell didn't know for a fact that he would regenerate from a complete self-destruct. In fact, there must have been exactly only one cell or one bit of Cell left or else there would have been a lot of regenerated Cells running around.

Vaccinations are necessary for most of the population because it prevents the spread of disease, with herd immunity, and makes people who DO still get sick have a less rough go of it.

Even people who "never get sick" need to be immunized because the germs you carry can be transferred to someone vulnerable. No, choosing to skip because "never sick" doesn't make someone socially equivalent to a hipster or a libertarian railing about "poison" or "the guvment" and trying to stamp immunization out but it does make them physically the same because they still don't have the shots, the immunity.

There are PSAs everywhere (print, radio, tv, online) asking, begging, people to get vaccinated. The University of Alberta hospital, a world class facility, has ads plastered across the whole place reminding people to get their shots; The City of Edmonton has flu clinics EVERYWHERE and the Province of Alberta covers domestic vaccinations (not malaria, etc).

Please, talk to your doctor about vaccination; He/she will tell you how important it is, for all of society.

And there were too many second-place choices for me: Rune Soldier, Paranoia Agent, Roujin Z (I have a UK Blu of this one), End of Evangelion, Witch Hunter Robin.

To which I'd add Vandread, The Wallflower, Welcome to the NHK, Mahoromatic, and the original Last Exile.

The perspective from a Canadian is quite different from the perspective of someone in the United States. You guys in Canada get free universal healthcare, so there is no financial impact to getting vaccinated, and it sounds like the procedure to get vaccinated is quite clean and simple. It's not like that in the USA: Our healthcare is completely privatized (and you'll have plenty of ordinary citizens ready to fight to the death to keep it privatized), meaning you'll have to pay for your vaccinations, if not out of pocket, then at least via health insurance. And it can take quite a while to get vaccinated (some of my mom's friends spent weeks on a waiting list, especially around now when Influenca A, Subtype H2N3 and an Influenza B whose subtype I don't know are running wild around the northern hemisphere).

This is why you have those cases you might hear about where someone who is gravely injured will tell people around them not to call 9-1-1 or for an ambulance: Because they will be billed for it, and they might not necessarily be able to afford it.

(Though in my case, my father was convinced all vaccinations are permanent and thought I had been vaccinated for everything there could be a vaccine for by the time I was 5 years old, so I was vaccinated like crazy when I was very young, then he stopped entirely. It made him come off as an anti-vaxxer, especially in today's context, but he was just ignorant about it, and amazingly stubborn and prideful of it. Then, later in life, he grew a deep hatred of medical help as he found it humiliating to have to receive medical help, and as a result, none of us in the household saw the doctor for anything until shortly before he passed away. I haven't gotten a vaccine for anything recently except for tetanus, and I can't find my immunization records as my father had kept them for himself and hid them from me. I currently have a few health problems that doctors I've visited cannot figure out, and needless to say, I rather resent my father because I know that had I been allowed to see a doctor when these problems were new and mild, they might have been able to do something about it.)

Once again local differences in the U.S. arise. Here, as soon as the year's Flu vaccine comes out, the local drug stores start advertising. My wife and I walked into our local pharmacy last fall and got the flu shot. We went when they were not busy and it took all of 15 minutes. No standing in line no wait lists and no cost as we do have health insurance.
