Actually, Kanon, that wasn't directed at you - it was more a general response to the tenor of the thread, and a specific rejoinder to the poster who leveled that charge against me.

Sackett, you raise an interesting point and I did wonder if perhaps Asaura (I assume this episode is LN-based) was perhaps doing all this mainly as a way to ridicule the folks who get a rise out of...

This while "it's just a comedy so who cares?" bit always strikes me as hilarious. If that's the argument why bother to even like one character over another at all? It's just a comedy. And then you...

I have nothing against yuri when done well - far from it - but that felt more like attempted rape than yuri to me. Rather than sexy, I saw it as profoundly distasteful and sick. To each their own...

Well, I'm consistent - I dislike them both. The only difference is that I sort of pity Yozora, because it's transparent that she's hurting herself at the same time she's hurting others and that she...

But my whole point is that the comedic violence was so gratuitous that when it came time for so-called "serious" violence, it felt cheapened and undercut to me. I don't think you can have it both...

I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt and say it wasn't intended as comedy, but it still felt ugly and out-of-place to me. All the more so because it feels like kicking someone when they're...

I, too, love Aoi Yuki's Oshiroi - she's a one-woman sound effects team. But the beatdown in the Ralphs - whether intended as comedy or not, it was just downright unpleasant and ill-conceived. This...

The whole quote you're replying to is "thinking it's bad comedy." As in, that's my opinion. That's the nature of comedy - if it makes you laugh, it's good. If not, it's bad. There's no more...

And classroom bullying and humiliation bothers me, because it's so common in Japanese schools. If it's in support of something serious as it was in "Colorful" for example, I think that's fine -...

Me too - loved that scene to death. Aoi Yuuki is so great at non-linguistic verbal communication.

Oshiroi is my favorite, but I like everyone in the cast except Ume. She's the anchor that...

I tell you what, the Japanese market near me does half-priced bentos and sashimi every night at 6:20. If you don't think this is a deadly threat, you've never been there when the clock strikes.
