It's all action in the end. There's still so much testosterone-soaked anime one could handle at a time. And FMA has fighting in it, it's just disguised as alchemy.


FMA has more talking than fighting most of the times
Basquash! is a sport anime it's not fighting but it does have action maybe that's the word you are looking for?

I refuse to pay over $3 for a pair of earphones.

Even if it does mean I have to go back every 2 weeks.

I find funny how people use every single opportunity to bash haruhi and lucky star here.

Like, the news has directly NOTHING to do with both, yet people here argue about this... HERE!
(Omg, a site for discussing anime becomes some kind of fail socio-economic discussion board full of a bunch of guys who refuse to look how stupid our society is.)

Don't tell me you never heard about something like this in OTHER countrys than japan?

Take a look on that high school music crap, with 5 years old little girls who buy a stupid little shirt with a shitty authograph of some shitty brainless teanagers who got them selves hired by a brainwashing company, to be the future fail holywood actors.

Omg really is anyone in position to criticize what japanese "otakus" buy?!

WTF

your examples sucked ass but you're right. Although japan is, without question, number one in this matter, it's not by much. even my nephews school is swarmed with "dora" "cars" and batman backpacks.

but hey they're just kids, there's not really anything wrong with it. everybody wanted things from their favorite shows or heros. it's not the end of the world. It's marketing.

with that said, I still say they're goddamn losers. japanese or not.


You have those star wars and star trek fans that are aging pretty well also that get into that specific genre of "nonsense". I guess it just depends on the view you take. Than again its all publicity and name brands which everyone falls for, so stainless i dont think you are in any position to call anyone a loser when you can be one yourself if you every purchased anything how it was advertised. Some people are more extreme than others and I'm sure you would find a handful in your own community, its called a having a hobby, maybe you should pick one up before you criticize saying they are losers.

I'm not saying I'm as extreme as fans of K-on, in fact i'm probably one of the few jumping on the Mio-bandwage. ( Mugi > Mio btw ;p) I wouldn't blame the fans for buying this, the company that produces pointless MOE anime with numerous advertisements are to blame. Hmmm... maybe if it was 74,900 yen headphones in Love Hina i might of bought it . :-p

Lol, does buying things you saw from television affect anyone's else life? (I've never heard about it killing anyone so far...)
And you were saying that my examples fails...

Why would you care? Like i said, its not like they are buying from your money, neither making you have to buy. lol

People obsess over the weirdest things and their thoughts are often strange and quite frankly disturbing in some cases. Not much you can do about it though, just facepalm and move on.

Plus despite hating Lucky Star, I think comparing it to to High School Musical is a little too harsh. HSM is a much worse and much more mainstream plague on society. Unfortunately people still have some strange desire to lap it up as 'entertainment' despite the unintelligent and unimaginative bullshit that it is. Many of those people who love it simply do so because it has some supposedly 'hot' failure of an actor in it, whom personally I loathe nearly as much as the franchise itself.

Anyway, the main reason I don't bring up my absolute disgust of HSM (or anything else not anime related, for that matter) on MAL is simply because it has no place here. If nobody had brought it up, I'd never have mentioned it and would've had no reason to express my opinion about it.

However, spending 750 dollars on an used mobile phone is a little extreme.

I started the whole hobby thing, because that is what it is. Alll i see in your posts are "you're a dork/loser if you have any sort of hobby". So you are a dork when you but stuff in a popular anime, you are a dork when you play golf, you are a dork if you have a favorite tv show that you dont miss an episode of, and you are "strange" when you purchase something after seeing an advertisement of. I guess whatever makes one person happy there would always be a blatant jerk to make fun of him/her. Shame for having some enjoyment in life.

Edit: there was too much nonsense to quote, but do you also consider trolling a hobby or did you just label it as one to make it something marvelous?

Golf is definitively a much more respectable hobby, I'd still call you a dork if you played it but a dork with skills. I don't see how reality TV can be a hobby, but obsessing over TV of any kind is a childish hobby whether it's star trek or k-on. You can't deny that.
I can have whatever hobby I want, be it Star Trek, cosplaying, reality TV, winetasting, or golf. Anyone calling other people's hobbies childish and refusing to partake in them due to said childishness is... I don't know, childish.

Having a hobby naturally requires you to spend money on it, different amounts for different hobbies. Sure, spending $750 on headphones that you probably won't use to their full potential is not the best use of money but it's not my place to judge; after all it's not my money.

Anything you do that isn't necessary for your own survival is by definition a hobby or at least a recreational activity. Buying shit you don't need is also a hobby.

Stainless, do you gain ANY thing from calling other people's hobbies lame?

Now tell me, why do you try to convince Us, who will deffinitly never concur with you?

So what if other people like to do things you consider lame?
Why are you so concerned to that?

Why do you always dodge our questions, with stupid and baseless attacks?

Who are you to call anyone a child when you don't respect other people?

Who the * do you think you are to judge anyone?!!?

stainless said:
and yea you are a dork if you do those things.
Do you know the meaning of an "example"?

Sorry to say this, but i can deffinitly tell you ain't very different from the people you categorise as a dork.


P.s.: If you intend to reply, then i ask you to please answer the questions i posed, isntead of calling me a dork, kid or what ever.
I'm 18, so i'm deffinitly a kid, and you are being more childish than me...

I would like to laugh at the idiocy of some here but that would just be rude. The selling out of the AKG K701 and the guitars are a prime example of successful advertising. Regardless of what you think, this just proves that this advertising channel is very powerful, to say the least.

If buying stuff or whatever due to a viable form of advertising means one is easily influenced, then I think I should stop going to MacDonald's just because there's an advertisement of a new promotion; after all, it'll just mean I'm easily influenced.
