Shelf Life - Designated x Diver

I think there is a universal-ness about Cowboy Bebop. Whether you first watched it at the age of 10, 20, or 30, I am certain that there is value in re-watching.

Yes, I do agree that in my experience, certain sections of the anime community can be, shall we say, less than hospitable if a person doesn't share their views or hasn't seen “certain shows.”

The thing I find funny about the whole geek and fan culture aside from some of the obvious overlap is how it’s almost like gang communities. Each group as their own neighborhoods on the internet, some places allow for a little differential, but some places and people are really into sh!t talking other groups of people and the material they choose to enjoy. That’s where the ignorant generalizations start occurring and the “not all of us are like that” sentiments come out and people start focusing on the worst of the worst; of course, there are always the troublemakers who instigate that kind of stuff. It can get pretty discouraging sometimes since most people just want to share their enthusiasm and talk with others who have those common interests.

Honestly I really enjoyed both seasons of high school dxd, but I so wish bamboo didn't label It just a boob show like she did. While personally I think it's shelf worthy as it's one of the best ecchi shows I've watched, I would have no problem with it being rental or even perishable since Its a fanservice show. Labeling it a "boob show" feels like the easy way out.
