It's called "fujoshi bait"

bottled water doesn't expire


Yes it does. The plastic in water bottles slowly leeches into the water over time, making it dangerous to drink. You also shouldn't drink from them if they've been exposed to extreme heat (like sitting in your car on a hot summer day) as this can cause the toxins to leech into the water more quickly. All plastic water bottles have expiration dates right on them.

Sure, you can get plastic-y tasting water from "old" bottled water but it is far from toxic. http://chemistry.about.com/b/2013/08/10/does-bottled-water-go-bad.htm Also http://www.livescience.com/32636-why-do-bottles-of-water-have-expiration-dates-.html It's a flavor issue, not a "this water has gone bad" issue. And boiling it, especially since they're on a deserted island with no power, is especially silly and just plain bad writing. But hey, keep defending this garbage.

I could give more links, but hey, we can all use google even if KyoAni can't.

Didn't make any comments about boiling it, but since you seem so keen on defending that, fine. They're in a rest house not necessarily a deserted island, just unused. Even if the building doesn't have electricity it doesn't mean they don't have access to heating for water. If the stoves are gas and the gas hasn't been turned off, they could easily cook or boil whatever, but this argument is stupid and you're clearly more interested in being combative than having an actual discussion, so I'm done here.

Hey, I think one of the characters has a sister. Just imagine the older brother boning his little sister. That should make you happy. It would be just like Oreimo then, right? Twisted Evil

Right, cause I'm totally into the KirinoxKosuke ship.

Next time, ground your attack with fact before you try to slander me.

No attack. Just a suggestion.

You are on a thread about a title aimed at female fans after all.

Uh. Why are you here anyway?

It's a discussion thread about an anime I'm currently watching that I had valid problems with? Why are you here? And who are you to question my motivation anyways? Isn't that the mods job?

And you do realize that Nayu is a female name, right? Besides that, is this thread ladies only? I didn't see the sign on the door saying that men aren't allowed to watch shows aimed at women. My mistake, I guess.

I'm asking because, for a show that you certainly despise, you sure are doing your part to add to its publicity by continually bumping the discussion.

(even to the point of angrily arguing about plastic bottle efficacy)

The more discussion. The more people notice.

If i don't like something, I do my best to completely dismiss it, and I never waste my time on any discussions of it.

Q: So why am I here?

A: Why to help you bump the discussion, of course. Cool

If Free! were the exact same series just with girls instead of a "cast of attractive, lean-muscled young men", the review would decry about how this is merely another forgettable generic pandering otaku trash. Seriously, for more than a decade, this site has been claiming that "fan service" is the cancer killing the anime industry. And now, you dare to imply that just because this is aimed at women, fan service is suddenly not only okay, but something to be praised? Words cannot describe the hypocrisy displayed here.


You're surprised/ shocked by this?

Looks like we have a winner for the "most [insult removed] poster of the day" award. Rolling Eyes

EDIT: Why am I not surprised by this? Just goes to show that the mods on this form will let people like Tuxedocat get away with murder with regards to posting, but everyone else has to be on their best behavior. Favoritism at its worst.....
