Well for me. number 1 is Deadman Wonderland and number 2 is Madoka Magica. Fate/Zero would have been number 1 on my list , if I am able to watch it but unable to since it doesn't have an english dub and as everyone knows, i am mainly an english dub prusit only otuaku. Also I was 50/50 surprised Kyuubey unanimously got the Bastard award cause positive that Ohisawa (I think that is name ) from Durarara would have gotten that award cause he was a character people loathe with a passion. I believe the 2011 award had a massively split cause of whether to give that award to either Lelouch or Light cause both were the king of bastards to a lot of people.Myself included. |

Deadman Wonderland isn't a 2012 title. Though it first became available in dubbed form in 2012, it legally streamed in 2011.
Er, Kyubey didn't unanimously get it and Durarara is not a 2012 title, either; it was available subbed in 2010 and dubbed in 2011.
You must be thinking of a different year because both of their respective titles came out even in dubbed form well before that. |

I had a 'debate' with a few people on the other forum regarding the Lynn Lambretta and Jenny Doolittle pairing in Bodacious Space Pirates. Mainly because how I felt it was poorly written into the anime it came across as fan pandering, of course I was promptly branded a homophobe etc. by the usual crowd.
Of course each to their own I guess, but I felt it was a massive low point in the anime. Thankfully the series was strong enough in other areas to overcome it. |

Imagine Lynn was a boy. Would that change your opinion? |

It would have been just as poorly written/adapted. I think you were one of the 'usual crowd' I was referring to. Correct? Why am I not surprised you'd be the first to respond? |

Because I happened to refresh the board right after you posted that? Its not like there is some grand conspiracy. You posted, I responded. Also, I'd forgotten just how thoroughly we'd demolished you on this point. Cute you'd try to bring it up again. Obnoxious, but cute. |

You also explicitly said it would be less out of place. |

Uh, the series was not strong in other areas. There were a large number of problems with it*. After the terrible episode seven I had to say sayonara, because I just wasn't going to put up with all that stupidity any more. * Outside of the skirt issue, which despite how it blew up in the Forums wasn't even that big compared to other flaws. |

I do however remember you questioning my intelligence because I was apparently missing the point you were trying to make, yet rather ironically you at the same time were completely ignorant of the point I was trying to make.
What's cute is that you're actually calling someone else obnoxious. Anyways it's nice to see you're still as much as a condescending asshat as ever. It reminds me of what I stopped bothering with you in that thread. |

Then why the fudge should anyone bother to even respond to you? Holy shit.
Yes, I was questioning your intelligence because you were being deliberately obtuse, not to mention accusing me of being presonally insulting to you, when something was far more on-point about your blatant homophobia.
At least I'm not a [expletive] homophobe. |

I can't remember exactly what I said, because as I mentioned I haven't gone back to that thread. However as I stated in many occasions whatever issues I had with this scene/relationship, none of them were homophobic in nature. |

HAY ZAC MAYBE YOU SHOULD ADDRESS THE [expletive] HOMOPHOBIA INSTEAD OF LETTING YOUR BIAS AGAINST ME BLIND YOU TO IT. Just a thought. |

I SAID GET A ROOM.
What that means is take your lovers' quarrel elsewhere or I'll put a stop to it myself.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, BUT I GUESS WE'RE TALKING IN ALL CAPS NOW AM I SUPPOSED TO PUNISH HIM FOR SOMETHING HE DID ON MANIA BECAUSE I'M NOT REALLY SEEING EVIDENCE OF HOMOPHOBIA IN HIS POSTS HERE ~PLEASE ADVISE, NAMASTE~ |

Really? You still think that? Damn, yet you criticise me for missing the point? That's absolutely [expletive] hilarious, you've just made my day. Anyway, since Zac has put his two cents in I'm assuming not much more of this will be tolerated so well, yeah. That's enough. |
