And so yet again the dark days of the early 21st century returns.

I don't completely blame them. It was the first time Europe got to dub a game in a long time, so it was shoddy in general. They just copypastad the song from the game to the anime (despite the game and anime originally having different themes.

Name changes aren't much better. Names like Mark Evans and Kevin Dragonfly don't fit in a game about Japanese children, but it's made more awkward in the third game where they compete for what is essentially the world cup...representing Japan. Oops.

 

[Pokestick good times.]

75

This Azumanga omnibus is probably the most comfy purchase I've ever made.

And now I'm sad I've finished it.

 

[machomuu]

76

Then go read Yotsuba&!

 

[Pokestick good times.]

77

That's the plan!

Gonna see if my store's got it imported.

EDIT: I'd have to buy the separate volumes quite expensively and they don't even have the first one in stock. Guess I'll find something else to read. D:

*slates that soccer anime for deletion should I have my 69 taken from me again*

There we go

 

[machomuu]

79

If you delete it, I'll tell the guys in South America/Latin America whose fault it was.

They won't be happy.

 

[Pokestick good times.]

80

Heads would roll.

 

[Twilight-kun]

81

Too bad, that's my rule and I'm sticking by it


Or should I delete Naruto, Bleach and One Piece?

 

[machomuu]

82

I'd be fine with that. We've been needing a new big 3.

 

[Twilight-kun]

83

KlK, AoT and SAO?

I don't know

oooh, yes, I'll delete KlK next

 

[Pokestick good times.]

84

Fairy Tail has basically become one of the big three by now, if one ignores the "three" part.
Wouldn't throw KlK in there since it's anime-only and was of normal length.

AoT on the other hand, yeah. Give it a few years and it'll probably have officially taken Bleach's place as one of the de facto big 3.
Heck, I'd be okay with that, the fans are annoying but it's a fun show to watch.

 

[Netto Azure]

85

SnK is pretty popular to the mainstream audience. Quite well known too.

 

[machomuu]

86

Nah, things like SnK are too seasonal to count. I'd put it more on the SAO boat than the big 3 train.

 

[Pokestick good times.]

87

Who says SAO can't find itself in the same position as the big 3?

:^)

 

[machomuu]

88

I'm just being hopeful. If it did, the ecchi would explode.

Speaking of AoT, I really hope it doesn't go on for too long. I'm just following the manga (by volumes I find at local libraries/bookstores rather than online) and it's pretty interesting. And it's because it's interesting that I don't want to see it stretched into an inevitable cliche where all of the intrigue is just...gone.

And since I skipped out on the show because anime Eren, I'll give the comp movie a watch, since it's assured no filler and great quality.

 

[Twilight-kun]

89

We'll just have to wait and see

 

[Netto Azure]

90

SAO? Big Three?

There's just not enough content. Only 15 volumes vs. 50+ of the big three.

 

[machomuu]

91

Yeah, but SAO deals in LN. You can't really compare those apples to apples.

And the manga's not even by the author, so I wouldn't use that as a marker. But yeah, same deal: too seasonal.

 

[donavannj]

92. The Big 3 are really just long running action series with long-running anime.

Otherwise Detective Conan could supplant at least one of the 3 if it were solely based on longevity.
