I've just noticed that Bamboo has revied Accel World and Saki Episode of Side A, but they don't appear under her name in the guide.
Somehow I pause at the idea of accepting LUNI_TUNZ as the recognized authority on the subject. I sincerely doubt that Zac wrote those reviews in an effort to 'troll'; both, especially the latter, seem like exactly the sort of unfiltered reaction that the preview guide uses. The audience for them seems pretty clearly to be people who will find caustic, sarcastic reviews of shows like that amusing; everybody else is voluntary collateral damage. Yet, in a way, they've functioned as trolling, because the /a/ crowd et al cannot let any slight against what they like stand and seemingly thrive on a sense of victimhood. If Zac was trolling, it's because some people are so ludicrously insecure and obsessive have made it so. And this is why they're looked down upon, not for what they like, but because of the titanic displays of furious defensiveness that they unhesitatingly resort to.

Can someone please start a new (preferably sticky) thread called 'Zac hurt my fragile otaku heart and i won't stop posting here until he repents!' or something like that, so that the rest of us can move on and get back on topic? Thank you.

The butthurt is strong, indeed what with the announcement of JC Staff and the production team who will be working on the Little Busters' adaptation. I still look forward to seeing it after hearing how good the story is, though. Hopefully it'll be ok, but that is a topic for another thread. |

The thing about the big odd moe trio of shows featuring non-moe subjects is that I grudgingly have to admit that whether or not the creators have created a good story, they have designed such adorable characters that it could maybe overpower the faults of that bad premise. Of the three I'm in three different stages.
Nyarko-san: Another Crawling Chaos- I feel confident that I'll be watching this all season- it may actually be the most outrageous moe transformation but it also works the best. Her explanation works pretty well for such a story and even if it didn't, the focus is obviously so set on comedy that faults could be ignored in the same way that last year's Azezel-san could be forgiven- they're going for laughs, not accurate mythology. Sengoku Collection- I'm giving it another episode or two. In this case I'm wondering if this will work as just another example of an otherworldly girlfriend moe show. Does it really matter that the moe girl is Oda Nobunaga? I'm not sure yet, the silliness of its premise may be outweighed by the cuteness of the girls, the quality of the comedy and if it can pull off little moments of earnestness like it did a couple times the first time. Upotte- Dropping. this time the cuteness can't overcome the premise for me. My current facebook photo is of me in an open hoodie, showing off my "Melt The Guns" T-Shirt. Yes, I'm on that side of the gun control issue, so there's no way I'm watching a show that literally fetishizes assault rifles. No matter how cutely the girl blushes or how sweetly she can turn a tsundere "baka" phrasing. Last edited by Spastic Minnow on Tue Apr 10, 2012 12:47 pm; edited 1 time in total |

It's very likely that somewhere around post 50 such threads weren't about Zac anymore. Contestants for what replaced it: "All moe is sh*t", "Old anime is good only because of nostalgia", "Can Shiki kill Servants?" (look it up), "No, you're a f*g", "Tea is so much better than coffee", "Dubs!". |

Hi, my name is LUNI_TUNZ, and I'm the foremost authority on trolls. That post was written as a reply to someone saying that it's not impossible for someone to post here who hates anime, just to troll, when the post he was replying to was specifically talking about Zac. |

Maybe Tsuritama. Probably not AO, as I've not seen the original E7. The shows I'm thinking of checking out this season are Medaka, Nyarko-San, Sengoku (yes it's terrible but Nobunaga is just so damn cute), Gakkatsu/Yurumates 3D, Kids on the Slope, Lupin III, and Acchi Kocchi. |

Zac writes his honest impressions, and in a hilarious fashion. People need to check their butthurt at the door.
The only thing he's guilty of is being too apologetic towards certain people who can't help but be offended when somebody doesn't like their creepy tastes. And stop acting like he's the only reviewer. Don't like what he said? Try another reviewer's perspective. There are plenty of them. |

Asspain? Rectal discomfort? Anus devestation?
Maybe it's better to leave people's rear ends completely out of it. |
