That's a lot more than I thought, to be honest.

Just two? From the way you're talking, you've only got two scenes done.

BTW... Another Crisis 5 is finally done.

Well... I tried, but yeah. People will go on neverending debates just to validate or invalidate Kira's claim as one of the best. Frankly I'm tired of both sides, the haters just come up with everything to make him stupid, the fanboys try to worship him as some deity thus making him out to be more stupid.

Exactly what it sounds like. There's a character in another anime that looks a lot like Shirley, and she's an evil Psycho Lesbian. Hence, I have a pretty good idea of what Shirley would look like if she was an evil Psycho Lesbian.

I now know what Shirley would look like if she was an evil Psycho Lesbian.

Well as long as Charred doesn't end up spamming the crap out of the threads and just totally hijacking the conversation I'll be fine even if he cools on the show. My beef was really more with the constant beating into the ground of the "flaws" of 00 week after week at the expense of all other conversation as opposed to people not liking it. It was like the only thing people ever discussed and it was frankly fucking depressing and tiresome in the extreme. It's one thing not to like a show as that's anyone's right, but it's another to have such a clear and obvious and not to mention spiteful and hateful agenda against one that you destroy a forum and everyone's experiences in it while the "moderator" just lets it happen. If he does that again I'm not going to quit bothering the mods this time until they step in and put a stop to it.

As for Shana, I don't know I kind of agree with him on season 2, though I haven't seen the 3rd one. I greatly enjoyed the first season for it's blend of action/romance/comedy and introduction of Rie Kugimiya as the defining loli badass warrior, but the second one truly bored me to tears and lacked any sort of gravitas such that I had to drop it before the end of the first half.

As far as I can tell he's only saying it ignores the anime original ending arc for season 2 though which is an issue of consistency by J.C Staff if it's true. Again though I haven't finished either so I can't possibly verify that. Though I do know for a fact that season 2 retconned the ending to season 1 by pretending that Shana never heard the confession by Yuji, which was irksome so again the franchise definitely does have consistency issues as Reckoner points out. Perhaps he's a little on the harsh side, but if it is indeed the second time it's happened then I think I can understand why.

I can assure you that Reckoner is on the level. He doesn't follow shows just to gripe about them...well at least not for more than a couple episodes and I find his criticisms to usually if not always be on point and fair. When we do disagree I recognize where he's coming from at the very least, which is more than I can say for some posters who have already sounded off about Gundam AGE. Reckoner is definitely enjoying the show so far and he does definitely enjoy anime as I've witnessed in his posts and through watching shows with him.

Needless to say Reckoner should IMO be the least of your worries on this forum. Together we'll focus our energy on the truly unreasonable critics and hopefully see them outed, but Reckoner is definitely not one of them.
