Sure milking can be bad but FMA:B.. is it really that bad? As long as I love a story line or whatever, it doesn't matter to me how many times it's been made. It's hard to be original these days with everything anyways. The things you've summed up can be seen in almost every anime, manga, comic, cartoon, movie, soap, drama etc.

Meh, I just don't see what the big deal is.

They can wh_re themselves out on merchandise and whatnot with FMA:B.

That is as long as they keep the current pace of the series the same.

The progress of the story line doesn't seem too slow or too fast to me.

With many mainstream shows it seems obvious that they do not want to progress the story line, but I don't get that with FMA:B

That is messed up. Hentai isn't creepy but when people buy pillows and cushions with girls printed on them whether they are animated or real, it crosses the line to being a creepy otaku. >_>

Indeed, it's something I just can't comprehend :ermm:

What's wrong with making something look prettier?

my little collection.

Nothing, it's your life choice. For me personally, a real female to cuddle like a pillow is excessively win and they hug you back! (Y) :happy:

On a different note, would anyone recommend Cromartie High School to those who have watched Great Teacher Onizuka? Somewhat similar, so it got me interested :)

What the.. this is totally going into the wrong direction now o.O

Anyways, I'll be starting Honey and Clover II in a bit. Could someone recommend me an anime similar to this?

The series is only around 13 minutes per each episode. If you understand Japanese culture and are quite well versed in Shounen manga and anime, then it's the perfect anime/manga for you. I couldn't understand much of it since there were many references to 90's anime. It's one of the more intelligent parodies based around high school culture.

I would recommend Lamune (very touchy feely - 6/10), True Tears (early high school drama with amazing yet bland animation - 7/10) and Kimikiss ~ Pure Rouge (6/10).

^ I only know those "harem" anime series because I was still a noob and watching whatever connected to the most popular anime such as Clannad, Kanon and Ef~A Tale of Melodies when I had no clue that there were distinct sub genres that pushed stereotypes to the limit and beyond.

What I recommend as a light romance mixed with heavy character interaction and war is Gunparade March. It's a rare piece of work. I still am scarred by one of the touching scenes. *shudders at the reminiscence*

Oddly enough she did not watch it because it was sports (she is not a fan of sports) she watched it because she saw an ad for it on Hulu :p

Currently I am taking her Through Ghost in the Shell (SAC and Second Gig)

Right up my alley (Y)

True Tears (early high school drama with amazing yet bland animation - 7/10) and Kimikiss ~ Pure Rouge (6/10).

Out of the two, I enjoyed True Tears more.

could someone recommend a really good comedy for me to watch?

Action/Comedy/Drama - Full Metal Panic! (first season and Fumoffu!; third season gets rather dark)

Dark/parody - Sayanora Zetsubou Sensei

Slapstick/Shounen/Ecchi - Golden Boy

Shoujo - Ouran High School Host Club

Epic (number of episodes) - Gintama

WTH?! - Furi Kuri

Explicit - Detroit Metal City

Overall - Great Teacher Onizuka + Full Metal Panic!

Must watch immediately for all anime fans - Great Teacher Onizuka, Full Metal Panic! and Detroit Metal City

Detroit Metal City made me realize how much anime can differ from the googley eyed, semi naked women it usually offers. It's explicit, hilarious and made me lol too many times to count.

    • Nvidia's GeForce NOW summer sale drops prices for Ultimate and Premium memberships

      By AndrewSteel · Posted

      Not such a great deal, Ultimate, which gives you full 5080 features is $181.99 CAD per month, that's $2183.88 per year, I can buy the 5080 for $1809.99 CAD, then it goes up to $279.99 per month after the first billing cycle. Typical cloud rental, costs more than buying the hardware.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Wow, spoken like a true blind hater, you don't even provide arguments. Please, go check my comment above to @seacaptain and you'll find out why what you say doesn't make sense in this context...
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Get used to this, with AI tooling now uncovering new vulns and getting them exploitable far faster than has ever been possible before software is going to need to be updated far more frequently. Back in the day it may take reseachers weeks or months to do what AI can now do in hours. Once its a threat is discovered it's weaponsized far more quickly, meaning you simply can't be waiting 2, 3, 4 weeks to deploy a patch, it needs to be patched immediately. Going to be interesting handling this in the enterprise space where traditionally patching has been steady, but very staged (and rightly so up until now), that is going to have to change.

      You don't need to "close all browser sessions constantly" or wait for updates to install. The updates download in the background while you use the browser, without interrupting you, they install automatically the next time you launch the app. And they install very fast (depending on your storage speeds, of course), you have to wait at most 2-3 extra seconds, if any. Seems like you haven't used Edge in a loooooooong time...
