I have to lol at your friend for flipping out. The Beatles are one of the most seminal bands in the 20th century who helped chart the course of pop music's history. As a band who had a massive imprint on society, culture and music, OF COURSE they will be copied, parodied and influenced both in looks, style and music. DRRR was not the first nor will be the last to use such image in the promotion or use in their product. And the focus on whether PMMM is great or not in Vata Raven's eyes detracts from the main point s/he was making, that AoA will put out product and price as they see fit and each individual consumer will use their own internal logic and decision making on whether to buy or not buy. Why someone chooses to get something should not bother or affect you in any way. |

It's not the fact that he's buying the stuff that's bothering me in anyway, I couldn't care less whether he buys a release or not. For example of he/she said "I'm not buying this series". Well I wouldn't give it a second thought. What does bother me if someone disagrees with my opinion without giving me a reason because then I'm just left wondering why he hates something so much. Their argument doesn't make sense. Now you could argue that it's none of my business but once someone disagrees with my opinion it kind of IS. It's like as if someone just denounced something you feel really passionate about to your face then left without giving a single reason for what he/she did. I'm sure that would be upset and wondering what the heck is his logic? |

Why the bloody hell does it bloody matter if I go into bloody detail in why I hate something? Oh, that's right, because the fans can't expect that someone might hate a "great" show.
Refusing to watch a show because of a picture is a dumbass reason. At least I watched an episode of PMMM before putting it into the unwanted list. And so what if I had to look up the Beatles pictures, I could care less about some French band. I don't keep up with bands, I don't keep up with pop cutler, I never understand it when Funimation writes in American pop cutler. |

@manicli: I totally understand your feeling. I always want to know the mindset of someone who dislikes something I like or takes a contrary position to an issue near to me. But I've learned, you just sometimes will not get that reason and even if you do, sometimes its not one that will make a lot of sense to you anyways. So I learn to just put my hands up and and walk away. Its just going to be something that unnecessarily upsets you.
@Vata: The Beatles are English not French. And considering how old the Beatles catalog is (40+ years) it doesn't suprise me less people know about them since you only hear their songs on oldies or soft rock stations at this point. And I don't follow pop cutler either, but it sounds good to eat. In fact, its dinner time right now so I'm off for food. |

LOL, nice one. I've dropped plenty of shows after the first episode, usually because it is very obvious from the first episode what the rest of the show will be like. But PMMM's first episode is famous - even infamous - for not being entirely truthful. Each and every prospective viewer should give the show at least three episodes. |

Because in the real world you have to justify what you say. So I thought you'd be mature enough to understand that. Do you think that if you go against someone at work without explaining your reason, its going to fly? Ofcourse not, you'll probably be looked down upon. I always have to justify what I say every week when I write a lab report(s). Heck I even have to justify myself when doing regular assignments. Do you think I can just walk into my lab and say to my TA I think this will happen? Of course not, I'd probably fail my lab if I didn't justify myself. Do you think anyone will take me seriously if suddenly came up with a hypothesis with no evidence? No I'd probably be the laughing stock of my entire class not to mention I'd fail the assignment/lab report. I guess logical argument is beyond you which is quite a shame because you seem to be quite opinionated but none the less, opinion without reason or evidence is just worthless. I guess humanity has declined. (I've yet to watch the anime) As for the picture thing, I've watched the first 5 episodes of Durarara and concluded that this show has nothing to offer me in terms of entertainment or knowledge. I would be neutral but the show just had to copy something famous. And The Beatles aren't french! So now I will conclude that not only do you fail to have cognitive abilities as you refused to understand my reasoning but your lack of research ability shows that you clearly didn't have a good education and either aren't very good at researching or you just can't read. Which ever the case may be, the appropriate plebeian term for you would be a dumbass. Either way it seems language and the ability to comprehend is beyond you. I recommend going to see a psychiatrist as this could be masking a more serious brain disease. @Vapors I suppose you're right to some extent. Though it still amazes me some people can say what ever without a reason and believe they are right or that other people will show them any respect. I guess I'm just astonished at how ignorant people have become. But back on to topic here, it's going to be expensive but I think I'll start saving up for it so when it comes out I'll be able to afford it. |

Aniplex, eh? Well... I guess that means these titles will be out of my price range for the foreseeable future.
I'm a sad panda. :/ |

I thought the regular/bare bones edition of Madoka Magica was too expensive, not for the series but for just a DVD/BR.
However I bought it anyway so I guess my head saying it was too expensive and what I wanted conflicted and what I wanted won out. I did get it signed by Gen as well so I guess that also helped off set the cost. |

If SAO ends up being $150 for a BD box (Though who knows if that's the release format it'll get, AoA does not have an established release pattern yet), I still won't find it overpriced despite the fact I'm beginning to hate the series. Some people need to realize "Not worth the money=/=overpriced". |

Whether something is overpriced is a subjective opinion. However, with AoA, it's possible to look at what they put out and compare it to similar releases by other R1 distribs. Many of their releases are considerably more expensive than similar offerings by other companies. Hell, many of AoA's LEs are still more expensive at their discounted price than Funi's LEs are at their full MSRP. So, in that context, it is fair to say that in comparison to other companies, many of AoA's products are overpriced given what the R1 market normally sets as a baseline price.

There is no such thing as objectively good, and objectively bad, especially when it's coming out of the mouth of a human. In order to be fully objective, you first need to get rid of all biases, which is impossible. There is no such thing as a person with no bias. And really how is it objectively good? I've seen people like the guy who wrote this review (Actually an in-depth analysis that basically dissected the entire show) argue it's objectively bad a bit. http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=animeatt&aid=8069&attid=7858 |

[If you think he's wrong then make your case. "You're wrong" is not adding to the discussion.]
This again. I'm really sick and tired of people using that moron's "review" (read: rant) as 'proof' that the show isn't all that good. |

Yeah, you realize that just because someone bloviates for 3000 words does not mean their review is an "in depth analysis", right? |
