  • This isn’t like awful, but it’s noticeable. Full Metal Alchemist (brotherhood? I forget who came first) we started great and strong, good pacing, but then they ran out of source material too quickly. SO, they started making it up as they went. I stopped when the general planning a coupe flips to a genocidal maniac, the character shift was so jarring. Apparently further down this path they lose their alchemist abilities and get shot to WWII to fight some Nazis. It was so off the rails, when the manga started up again they completely redid the anime from the beginning. I love this anime, but I have to make a guide on how to watch it every time I suggest it. The second attempt didn’t do as well with the early episodes like the first one did, probably because they were trying to catch up. Wild ride, still worth it.




  • I just wanted to bring up something I hated about reddit that no one mentioned, just to get it out of my system; ask a reasonable question? Prepare to be mass downvoted. Like why? Who is downvoting this? How did that offend you? I’d understand if they were framed weirdly or completely unrelated to the issue, but a reasonable on topic question shouldn’t get that treatment.


  • Man, your comment almost made me cry at work. Thank you for sharing, I never realized the connection between toxic communities and verbal abuse. You’ve made me realize I’ve been letting my own bad history influence my perspective. I’ve been hard on myself for having the same feelings as Bermuda towards reddit. I couldn’t tell if the community really is as bitter and short fused as it felt, or if I was being too sensitive. I thought feeling bad about what strangers said on the internet was weak of me. I realize now I’m probably just being hard on myself. People can be major assholes, and it doesn’t make you weak to notice their bad behavior.
