That's a bit of a stretch. The only thing you can realy infer from that comment is that Megiddo isn't into fanservice shows. Any perceived insult is entirely in your head.

Anyway, I'm with Meggido in that I don't care for fanservice shows either, so I'll be passing on all three of these.

I didn't had the intention of buying Glass Mask until the 2nd boxset was made official but it looks like the customer will have to take the risk of buying a half-completed series in order to get the follow-up. I'm sure the sales of Vol. 1 would get much better if there was a confirmed release date for Vol. 2, thus convincing all of the on-the-fence buyers.

Maybe, if all you focus on is the words, but what you say says less than how you say it. If Meggido had just said that (s)he isn't into fanservice then I'd agree with you. Instead (s)he said "hope the fanservice sells for ya...I won't be purchasing any of these". Broken down, this interprets into "these series are nothing but fanservice (since the implication here is that fanservice is their only selling point), ergo fanservice is the only reason anyone has to buy any of them, which I won't, so anyone who does is only in it for the fanservice".

I dated a psychology student for a couple of years and have a couple of relatives who study psychology as well. I'm no expert, but I have learned a little bit of how to read the way in which people say things.

LOL You are reading way too much into that to the point of completely making shit up. There is no "tone" to interpret, all you have to go on is two written sentences. I don't care how many psychology students you know, but thanks for the laughs this morning.

You write the word 'tone' in quotes, as if to quote me. Where did I use the word 'tone'? If you're going to be obnoxious, at least try to be right at the same time.

I don't find anything obnoxious about his post. But hey, what do I know? I never dated a psychology student so I'm not an expert like you.

You're right, I suppose there's nothing obnoxious about telling someone they're making shit up and outwardly laughing at them with no real basis for doing either. Also, if you'd read my post either, you'd notice I explicitly stated that I'm no expert. Christ on a bike man.

Hey, everyone who thought Kämpfer was horrible: Don't buy it! Amazingly simple, no?

well when they continue to license shows not worth buying, then don't go blaming fansubs when ADV goes under

well I was also waiting on both sets to release, but I might just take a chance and order it, and keep my fingers crossed, I was surprised they put 25 episodes together as one set, since most sets are released with only 12 or 13 episodes at a time, isn't gintama released with only 12 episodes per release, and that has a lot of episodes to go.
