How did it go from the awesome 3-part OVA:

To the crappy loli lesbian undertone tv series:

It makes a panda cry.

That's Read or Dream, not Read or Die.  Same author, same universe (I think), totally different story and characters.  According to the manga version I saw at Borders, it's considered to be the sequel of Read or Die.

Anime is for fey manboys and mmorpgs are just pretty chat clients that don't make you use anything resembling skill to "play".

Poke fun all you want, duder.  I'm not the one watching androgynous, spiky haired characters run around in poorly written and plotted cartoons meant for hyperactive japanese schoolchildren and calling it art, or even worse, watchable and entertaining.

Two things are under attack in this thread:  watching anime and being vegetarian.

(http://i.somethingawful.com/u/lowtax/cliffy/273-4.jpg)

Think this kid watches too much anime, or abstains from meat too much?


I was vegetarian for years, and I am extremely socially acceptable.

If Triumph had his way, we wouldn't have time for games at all.  We'd be picking corn all day for the Tzar, and if we got sick they'd shoot us since it's cheaper to handle corpses than sick people.

Embrace the fact that there is a caste system in society.  Some people are better than others, and they shouldn't be punished or held back because of it!

Huh, you're right.  I didn't google the TV series before posting.  The girls are originally from the TV series, they just got their own manga in 2005.  How silly of me to assume Viz would indicate the manga was an alternate continuity...
