Edit: This thread is now about Negima/UQ Holder
« on: August 28, 2013, 06:17:39 PM »
Inspired by an rpg.net thread of the same name.

I'll start.  I'm probably one of the few people on the Internet who finds many parts of Joe Dirt funny.

On a more political note, I enjoy watching Alex Jones' radio show even though I disagree with almost everything he says.  There's something about his madness I just enjoy eating up.

The gratuitous fanservice of Mahou Sensei Negima! has not deterred me from the series, either.

I object to the idea of Negima as indefensible.

Now, if you liked the ending, that would be indefensible. :eh

The ending sucked, I agree with you on that.

I think it was unfair of me to put it alongside the likes of Alex Jones and Joe Dirt, though.  Negima! does make a fine shonen fighting manga; Akamatsu's attempts to insert nudity all over the place, on the other hand, can get a little overdone.  I don't object to nudity in manga, just depends on how and when it's done.

You can't hate on Akamatsu for being Akamatsu. That's just what he does, and he does it far better than a lot, at least. :)

Someone on TVTropes said that most of what Negima does isn't fanservice so much as Naked People Are Funny.

Now Highschool DxD, on the other hand, is straight fanservice. No one believes me when I say I watch it for the plot. :p

The ending sucked, I agree with you on that.
It ain't over yet, it just changed names to UQ Holder.

UQ Holder has made the best choice of main character.

... my favourite character is kind of a weird choice, probably.

I actually enjoy Roswell Conspiracies and (the first season of) Huntik.

Both of which one of my friends could not go beyond an episode of.

In general, I love bad animated kids shows, particular Italian stuff.

My complaint is that he resorted to a total magic block. Again. Even if it was only temporary. :lmao

Everything is edible. Just that there are things only edible once per lifetime.
It's a god-eat-god world.

Procrastination is the thief of time; Year after year it steals, till all are fled,
And to the mercies of a moment leaves; The vast concerns of an eternal scene.
