hey
 
11:45 AM
very interesting documentary about living in japan
 
12:18 PM
@Krazer wow, that is interesting and scary
@Krazer I'll need to see this one later
 
@JNat it's mostly audio with nice scenery
very informative. I haven't seen a documentary about japanese lie from the perspective of ex-pats
 
 
2 hours later…
2:47 PM
@Eric mondays should be moe
 
3:08 PM
@Krazer Moe Mondays?
 
@Eric yes, what say you?
 
I'm in!
 
how do we coordinate this?
 
I'm not sure. It depends what all we want to do with it.
 
3:28 PM
@Eric this subreddit has a good idea reddit.com/r/awwnime
 
@Krazer Hmm... Where would we do something like that? Obviously our main site wouldn't be okay for that. In chat, then?
 
@Eric G+ and/or FB of course
 
Ah, of course. If @JNat ever shows up.~ :P
 
@Eric maybe we should call his name 3 times. @JNat
 
@Krazer Like this? @JNat
 
3:34 PM
now we wait
hopefully he gets reception wherever he is
 
I'll draw a pentagram on the wall. He shall arrive out of a portal formed from it.
 
mak sure you do the right pentagram
 
Of course. Trust me, I'm an alchemist. :)
Also, if we don't get it going this week, I'll have way more time next week.
 
how long ago did you call me 3 times?
 
10 minutes
 
3:41 PM
I got an urge to come here about 10 mins ago
lol
 
... Creepy.
 
so, moe Mondays is it?
 
Yes, indeed. @Krazer, he's here
 
Why is it only Mondays get to be moe? Isn't moe important enough to get 4 or 5 days?
 
@LoganM None of them start with "M". :\
 
3:45 PM
@Eric then, every Month can be Moe Month XD
 
@JNat No, no, only May and March. :P
 
@Eric That's the fault of the Romans. We shouldn't be forced to live with their mistakes forever.
 
@LoganM We could do moe mokuyōbi, if it would make you feel better. I just feel like that's waaaaay too weeaboo. :P
 
@Eric terrible :P
 
@JNat Hey, I tried. lol
 
3:47 PM
@Eric No, we're not doing that.
 
@Krazer did you guys see this link Krazer posted?
read it, it's pretty interesting
 
@LoganM Good.
 
Really, the solution is just to rename our site to Moe.SE and only accept questions which have a sufficient amount of moe. Then we don't have to worry about all this days of the week business.
 
I'd surely get kicked off the site. :(
 
@Eric Your avatar isn't a cute girl. You'd be banned immediately.
 
3:52 PM
Precisely.
So would @JNat and @Krazer
 
@Eric yeah, for sure
 
I think only you, Mysticial, and xjisha would be left.
(Is reminded of the "Just for fun!" SE proposal.)
 
@Eric It's a reasonable price to pay to better focus our site on what really matters.
 
lol
JNat, can you go ahead and ban Logan, please?
 
@Eric I've never done that, so I'm not sure how to do it.... -.-'
 
3:54 PM
... >_<
 
@Eric yes....
 
......... >_<
 
I've handled SockPuppeting, though
 
We can say Logan is a sockpuppet of Mysticial.
 
Incidentally, SingerOfTheFall, Arturia Pendragon, and atlantiza can stay. Also a few others with <1k rep. I think we'd do fine in the long run.
 
3:55 PM
@Eric IP's do not match
 
@Eric That makes you a dupe of a sockpuppet of Mysticial.
 
@JNat I'll log in on both accounts from my school. Would that work?
 
@Eric only if you posted questions and answers to each other, in order to gain rep. That could hold, yeah
 
Awesome, I'll get on that. I mean, it's not hard.
Logan's password is clearly "miki69", and Mysticial's is probably "moemoemoe".
 
@Eric you just need to know their e-mails and passwords
 
3:58 PM
@Eric Clearly not miki69.
 
@LoganM Prove it. :P
 
@LoganM lol, nice
 
@LoganM Oh yeah, like you believe that.
 
@Eric and what about their e-mails?
 
4:00 PM
@JNat logan@logan.logan and mysticial@numberwhatever.stuff
 
@Eric I've checked, and you're right
 
@LoganM I'm totally using that next Saturday.
@JNat :D
Also, I'm finished episode 2 of Ro-Kyu-Bu!. It's pretty good so far.
 
are we gonna have a new Flavour Saturday next week?
 
@JNat Yes, lolis.
 
4:01 PM
@Eric lolis? really?
 
Apparently.
 
I'm not into lolis... lol
 
Oh, whew. I'm not the only one. :)
I kinda figured everyone here was, lol.
 
@Eric I think Madara isn't either
 
I guess you guys can't relate to this then.
 
4:04 PM
@LoganM Nope.
 
@LoganM no, definitely not XD
 
@Eric Hmm...
 
@JNat Good. We can team up with him!
 
@Eric yeah, a team-up is nice
but Mega Man compared to Pride and Madara is nothing
I'm powerless
 
It'll be okay. I can do loli Saturday by myself if need be.
 
4:06 PM
lol
 
@JNat It's okay, you can be our water boy! xD
I haven't seen much of Megaman so I can't claim to know his abilities. D:
 
@Eric ahem.... neither have I
 
@JNat ... o.o
 
I remember there was a megaman anime bundled with one of the games, which had an incredibly bad dub.
 
Then why is he your icon?
 
4:08 PM
he was supposed to rotate
and I like the guy
 
lol
You should watch the series, then.
 
@Eric I should play the games
 
That too.
 
I always thought that @JNat looked like that in real life.
 
@LoganM oh, but I do
somewhat, at least
I am made of pixels
 
4:11 PM
Cool, so I wasn't totally off.
 
@LoganM no
crap, I thought this one shot balls or whatever
 
Full disclosure: I do not look like Pride.
 
@Eric you don't?
 
Not at all. I don't look 8 years old nor do I have black hair. :P
 
4:13 PM
I know, I know. It's a shock.
I'm sorry to have had to break it to you so harshly.
 
I had thought about changing my avatar when you all did, but it felt weird
 
I've thought of changing mine again, but it will probably still be Pride. There's really not that many characters I like as much as him.
 
@JNat Just change it to a different image of the same character like I did.
 
@LoganM I thought about that
which one is better? Megaman shooting (up there^^) or this?
 
Depends which frame you use, but I think the latter.
 
4:59 PM
@JNat megaman powerslide
gravitar doesn't do animated gifs btw
 
@Krazer unfortunately
but yeah, I know
 
@JNat or you can use the extra life sprite
 
@Krazer show me
 
this one is acceptable too
 
I prefer the latter over the former
 
5:16 PM
lets not forget these
 
nice
 
omg xD
Time to go to school! See you guys later.
 
@Eric be sure to share with us what you've learned
 
@Eric cya
 
@Krazer Will do. :D
 
5:20 PM
this iceman is cool too
he looks like he's going booyah!
 
@Krazer this Saturday's flavour is loli?
 
@JNat tentative, I wanted to hear other ppl's opinions
I was thinking either loli or yuri as the flavor
which ever we don't pick can be put off for the next week
 
5:42 PM
@JNat what are your thoughts?
 
6:18 PM
@Krazer not sure
I'm not into loli :P
and I can't say I'm into yuri either
I think the only yuri-ish thing I've seen is that girl who lives with Misaka from Index
 
Note to everyone: introduce JNat to more yuri.
@JNat tell me what are you into?
we can do sharks
 
@Krazer lol, never saw a shark on anime
@Krazer sword fighting or martial arts is cool
waddya think?
 
@JNat I recommend this to you: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenji_(manga)
 
@Krazer no anime?
 
Seto no Hanayome has a shark character.
I can't think of any others off the top of my head.
 
6:32 PM
@LoganM nichijou
pokemon (sharpedo)
probably yugioh somewhere
@JNat nope D:
 
@Krazer well, I'll give it a try
Vagabond has no anime either, but the quality of the manga is awesome
 
If we're allowing minor references to sharks then Ika Musume is afraid of sharks.
In any case, I'm still in favor of lolis. I'll have a hard time with sharks. Yuri might be acceptable, but lolis are better.
 
we can have loli this weekend, IMO
we won't always be able to find a flavour that suits every user here
 
Are we sticking with the term "flavor"? It seems a little bit strange IMO.
 
@LoganM I think topic may be better
 
6:40 PM
is there anything catchier?
topic seems a bit bland
 
theme, subject, or motif all come to mind as synonyms
 
motif could work
 
@Krazer yes, I vote for motif
 
Motif is a silly word, so I'm in favor.
 
how are going to proceed for choice of motifs each week? is it something more informal done here (probably in the main room) or should we make a meta or whatever?
 
6:49 PM
I say we rotate between loli, cats, yuri, siscons, tsundere, and Sakamoto.
 
@LoganM lol, those only?
 
@JNat Those 6 are enough for me.
 
7:04 PM
@LoganM I think it should go: cats, yuri, -cons, -dere, and swagger (GAR!)
and maybe action shot/pose
 
 
1 hour later…
8:06 PM
@LoganM I honestly think loli and yuri can go together. I don't think they're enough independently.
And I have no idea what siscon is.
 
@Eric Yuri and loli are completely unrelated
 
@Eric from here: "guys, or possibly girls, that have a strong obsession with their sisters. it doesnt necessarily have to be their own sister it can just be that person likes the idea of having a relationship with a sister."
 
@LoganM Not really. They are different enough to not overlap in all cases, but they're similar enough to be featured together. It's like featuring housecats and lions.
@JNat That's really common enough to be a theme? lol
 
@Eric apparently
 
Interesting.
 
8:09 PM
@Eric What? How do they overlap at all? I can only think of a couple of instances where they would be featured together.
 
@LoganM What I'm trying to get at is that they are similar enough that having 3 lolicon questions and 3 yuri questions as part of a theme day will not look out of place. They will not appear unrelated.
@JNat Nice new avatar btw. xD
 
@Eric thanks
 
@Eric Yes they will. They're totally different things.
 
@LoganM In concept (again, like housecats and lions). I think the questions asked as part of theme for each one will appear very fluid between the two.
 
@Eric I see no justification of this. Lolicon and yuri are very different genres, and tend to have different fanbases. I don't see much connection at all between them, and certainly not in the same way that different species of cats are related.
I would find it very discombobulating if both of them were put together.
 
8:15 PM
@LoganM Well... I guess we'll do it by trial and see how it goes. I honestly feel like neither one has enough steam on its own to make a category.
Also, bonus points for using "discombobulating" in a real sentence.
 
@Eric Just looking at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_(genre), there's roughly 100 series there, and the list is far from conclusive. I think it's a lot better than cats or fruits because it's a cohesive genre. As for lolis, easily hundreds of series have small girls about whom questions can be asked.
 
Like Ro-Kyu-Bu!? :P
 
man lazers are so cool imgur.com/a/hcbkW
 
@Eric Did you watch it? It's pretty good, isn't it?
 
@LoganM It is! I'm at the end of episode 2 now, and hooked.
@Krazer Those are lasers?
 
8:22 PM
@Eric lazer cut
 
Ah, that makes more sense. Yes, cool indeed.
 
any of you watched (or read) aku no hana? is it good?
 
@JNat it's okay
 
@Krazer the anime? or the manga?
 
manga is great
anime pales in comparison
 
8:29 PM
The anime is frightening. But not in the way it should be.
 
@Krazer why? because of the animation technique?
 
@JNat uncanny valley~
 
@Krazer I see
So you probably did not like A Scanner Darkly, which has a similar technique (or at least seems to me that way)
 
@JNat the use of uncanny valley there was intentional
the execution of the story could have done better
get psyched next month gaiz! crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2013/04/21-1/…
 
@Krazer WHY
D:
 
8:38 PM
@Eric cuz
Red Data Girl was blegh D:
@JNat In that anime we have characters that resemble real humans rather than cartoons, yet they do not act realistic. Add the fact that the rotoscoping is cheap, often lacking proper facial expressions, and so we have a bad combination.
 
@Krazer yeah, I saw a preview, and I get that
is it worth a shot anyway?
 
@JNat Hataraku Maou-sama! is better worth your time
They style and animation of Attack on Titan is nice too
and of course Railgun and oreimo2
 
@Krazer yeah, I've been watching that one
 
Henneko is pretty good too, even with the Kaji Yuki and Ogura Yui combo
 
9:01 PM
anyway, @Krazer aku no hana manga is recommended?
 
9:25 PM
@JNat hai desu
 
lol
the animation does seem terrible
 
@LoganM mangapark.com/manga/miss-sunflower another JK slice of life manga
 
@Krazer that's supposed to be a girl, right?
it does not resemble a girl
 
@JNat idunno
 
@Krazer no? it has a bow instead of a tie
that's why I'm thinking girl
but those sideburns man...
 
9:32 PM
I can't tell ne more
 
@Krazer exactly
 
notice how efficiently he uses blink
 
@Krazer ahah, nice
 
top 4 this season are titan, gargantia, maou, henneko
what do you think?
 
@Krazer I am watching the first 2, which are indeed very good
saw a bit of maou, and it also looked pretty good
@Krazer is it common in anime for that language thing to happen? or is it new this season?
 
9:41 PM
I wonder how they are gonna handle content after vol 1 of the LN
things stated to drop off after that
 
It happens in gargantia and in the part I saw of maou
@Krazer of what? maou?
 
yah
oreimo2 is #5
Saori-sama <3
 
@Krazer have you seen aku no hana ending?
it's pretty weird
I was trying to understand if I can get over the animation and watch the anime, but it is not good at all, at least not to me
which is a shame, because the atmosphere it sets is actually good, IMO
 
@JNat the the ed is creepy
 
@Krazer yeah
anyway, since it'll only have 13 episodes, I may give it a try
 
10:00 PM
I didn't like Titan much. Seems not very different from every other action series IMO. The other ones were all good tho.
