If it makes you feel any better the idiot kids on that site are morons about every anime not just Naruto. I was browsing their forum after reading all the recent hubbub to see if I could find any comments on Zac's interview and although I did not, I came upon a lovely thread titled Which anime on crunchyroll you wish is not icensed!!!!!!!. And I am apparently not stupid enough to understand the lingo because I took it to mean "Which series they hoped would not be licensed," but apparently it means "Which series do you wish were not already licensed."

And they go off on several series. A lot of the series mentioned were some that many of us here had been wanting to get licensed and were excited to see licensed. I also find it amusing that they think that some series are licensed when in fact they are not. I read at least three posts from people upset that History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi got licensed Rolling Eyes . But then again the site itself claims it is licensed because TMS requested its removal. TMS was the original production company not the US licensor.

I also browsed through their list of anime and find it funny that while most of the licensed ones have notes that the series are licensed instead of removing them they just write a note to buy the DVDs. And in some cases they even claim the title is not licensed. Like the Full Metal Panic TSR OAV which when someone posted a comment that it should be removed, the mod responded:

Quote:
This OVA is NOT currently licensed. OVAs of a licensed series can be but are not necessarily licensed. Please don't bug the mods about this or any other OVA/series unless you are sure it is licensed.


And even cited the ANN encyclopedia as a source for this claim. Even though the OAV was included in the last disk of the FMP TSR release.

I'll stop browsing that site now because it is giving me a headache.

On the same thread that undeadben referred to, posted about four hours ago:

lericka from CR wrote:
dragon ball z is licensed??!! DAMN lol!!one of my fav anime when i was like 9 years old....


That does not belong here, of course. To do so, there needs to be a fourth category, like "purgatory", under which quotes are placed if the original poster deserves to get sent to such a place. Bad name, I guess. How about "putrid"? "Puerile"? "Puke inducing"? Okay, so they are getting worse, but you see my point? The current three categories were not designed to handle this level of stupidity.

How about this one:

Nuzumaki from CR wrote:
i wish CR was lik exempt frm licensing laws since it's like the biggest anime hub for promoting ever

but Bleach, Naruto, Naruto Shippuuden, and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
just to name a few


I also noticed two things (and mods, please forgive me, I won't do too much more, I promise). The first was that the majority of posters were in their early teens. As someone who has an 13 year old brother, I cannot believe how immature these people are coming across as. Mind boggling. The second was that if the poster did not simply say "everything", then Naruto was always high on the list.

Is that all CR is? Teenage Naruto lovers?

[Sorry for getting off track, but this was the first time I had ever delved - however briefly - into the abyss of ignorance. Still getting over the shock.]

You know, just for the sake of streamlining this thread, we should just assume all things posted by abunai are one of the P trifecta. The spoiler one is just the latest in a long line of great quotes.

Hmm, "one of the P trifecta"? But which one? I hope it's "poignant". I always wanted to be poignant. Or was that "pungent"? Oh, well, never mind...

Often Poignant, sometimes Perfect, but never Pungent or Pointless. (Prurient on rare occasion.)

here's something from the "I want to direct anime..but I'm an american "thread

ikillchicken wrote:
Well it seems the obvious solution here is to get plastic surgery to make you look Japanese, then move to Japan, kill a random Japanese man and steal his identity. That will leave you ideally placed to kill a famous anime director, get further plastic surgery to make you look like him, and then steal his identity. Murder and plastic surgery are the quickest way to realize your dreams.

I'm sure you'll enjoy this little contribution I've stumbled across on these forums:

That reminds me of a joke from the Gabriel Iglesias special when he got pulled over and he and his friends yelled at the cop thanking him for having a computer because the last one had a Rolodex. It's much funnier then how I described it btw. My question is do you alphabetize the cards by user name or by subject heh?

Probably both.

I still doodle with crayons....... Crying or Very sad I suppose it's time to upgrade to colored pencils.

Here's one from Mylene that I found amusing given the context of the thread. I suppose I'm just easily amused.

that's kind of funny since I used to believe my dad when he told us that stuff, although I do believe the Rockies were included in his version, as well as rivers where books had to be carried overhead...

and don't knock crayons! Or fingerpainting! They are legit modes of self-expression!

*reminds me of when I read that Mike Huckabee signed the ARKids Bill with a crayon Rolling Eyes

from the Super Robot Wars OG Divine Wars vol 3 review
Quote:

Confused and over-complicated when stuff isn't blowing up; if there's anything here that isn't stolen from somewhere else, I'll eat the DVD. Without salt.


without salt? that takes guts

From the Your Avatar topic... It made me laugh like mad, because the song quoted in it was accurate.

another abunai quote this one from the "Anime Character Guessing Game" dtm42 is there for context

abunai wrote:
dtm42 wrote:
But as a Gundam fan, everything looks like something from a Gundam series.

There is an old adage to the effect that, when the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks vaguely nail-shaped. This, of course, can also apply to Gundam.

Come to think of it, it also explains why the U.S. is in Iraq.
