Timestamps are in UTC.
01:25:18 [nathanbp] | lemme know how that works out for you |
---|---|
01:28:22 [Puyopuyo] | Probably poorly. |
01:28:27 [Puyopuyo] | I can't remember what I was going to do with it. |
01:30:37 [nathanbp] | Sam you didn't mention Jinki: Extend when going through the list of things right stuf had on sale |
01:31:07 [nathanbp] | also Princess Tutu |
01:31:19 [Puyopuyo] | ...Princess Tutu is on SALE? |
01:31:33 [nathanbp] | yes |
01:31:38 [nathanbp] | although I don't know that I can buy it |
01:31:45 [nathanbp] | when the subtitles call her "Duck" |
01:32:02 [Puyopuyo] | I try to ignore it. |
01:32:11 [nathanbp] | (Also Pumpkin Scissors and RahXephon!) |
01:32:15 [Puyopuyo] | That was the one thing that really pissed me off. |
01:32:27 [Puyopuyo] | (I will buy season 1 of Pumpkin Scissors if A SECOND SEASON COMES OUT) |
01:33:12 [Puyopuyo] | Huh, they changed their savings layout. |
01:34:13 [Puyopuyo] | ...also, this is more than I paid for PuriTu |
01:34:16 [Puyopuyo] | I paid 25. |
01:34:40 [Puyopuyo] | And keep in mind that I also accepted .hack//Sign's "Silver Knight" instead of Ginkan. |
01:34:53 [Puyopuyo] | I will accept literal translations of things that should just be treated as names... |
01:35:22 [nathanbp] | I think Ahiru sounds more like a Japanese name than Duck does an English one though |
01:35:38 [nathanbp] | wait you're complaining about Princess Tutu costing $27 vs $25? |
01:36:53 [nathanbp] | There. (Ordered Jinki: Extend, Pandora Hearts set 2, Princess Tutu and Utakata) |
01:56:30 [Puyopuyo] | Not complaining, merely musing that there have been better sales. |
01:56:38 [Puyopuyo] | Though now I wonder what the standard PuriTu price is. |
01:57:04 [Puyopuyo] | Nathan, why do you hate money? |
01:57:16 [Puyopuyo] | (And no, Duck isn't an English name.) |
01:58:54 [nathanbp] | What, are those not worthy purchases? |
02:02:33 [Pipian] | I suspect it's more about the fact that, even on sale, that's probably $100 |
02:03:46 [Puyopuyo] | Really? |
02:05:20 [Puyopuyo] | Jink Extend is 12... |
02:05:34 [Pipian] | $60 then |
02:05:44 [Pipian] | For |
02:05:45 [Pipian] | Well |
02:05:46 [Puyopuyo] | *Jinki |
02:05:48 [Pipian] | Utakata |
02:06:31 [Puyopuyo] | I have a deal with Nathan where I don't insult his taste in anime, and he lets me go to his place to watch anime whenever he's free. |
02:06:54 [Puyopuyo] | Urg. Utakata is a 30 for 50. Not a deal I'd take. |
02:09:53 [nathanbp] | probably not going to get much cheaper? |
02:09:59 [nathanbp] | altho Jinki was $12... |
02:11:14 [nathanbp] | speaking of spending money I should really get some more bookshelves >_> |
02:12:53 [Puyopuyo] | Yes. |
02:12:57 [Puyopuyo] | Buy some bookshelves. |
02:15:29 [nathanbp] | so much work |
02:17:48 [Puyopuyo] | So buy bookshelves, leave them unset up, summon me. |
02:23:46 [Puyopuyo] | Awesome. All of Kannazuki no Miko for 24 dollars. |
02:23:51 [Puyopuyo] | 1 dollar per soul-crushing episode. |
02:25:14 [nathanbp] | kannazuki no miko is only 12 eps pretty sure |
02:27:00 [Puyopuyo] | ...was it honestly that short? |
02:27:18 [Puyopuyo] | You're right, 12. |
02:27:24 [Puyopuyo] | Wow. 2 dollars per soul-crushing episode. |
02:27:32 [Puyopuyo] | (Where NOTHING GOES RIGHT) |
02:28:19 [nathanbp] | lol |
02:28:36 [nathanbp] | it could be worse, it could be the Kannazuki no Miko manga |
02:29:22 [Puyopuyo] | .... |
02:29:28 [Puyopuyo] | Soul-rending power! |
02:36:11 [Pipian] | You know, I am finding it hard to raise much in the way of objections to this My Little Pony business. Seems to do alright with actually invoking traditional slapstick cartoon humor rather than being absurdly stupid and sickening. |
02:37:09 [Pipian] | I'm not sure exactly why people are raving about it |
02:37:16 [Pipian] | But it does seem like passable fluff |
02:38:15 [Puyopuyo] | Passable fluff is enough for people when the alternative is what's been available. |
02:39:08 [Pipian] | This is basically my stance |
02:39:18 [Pipian] | It's no Kricfalusi |
02:39:54 [Pipian] | And it's not paltry feel-good crap either, so it seems like it serves as a decent callback to older cartoon tropes at least. |
02:40:07 [Pipian] | So I guess for the people starving for those maybe they really really like it. |
02:40:41 [Puyopuyo] | I suppose. |
02:41:09 [Puyopuyo] | People have been famished for "cartoons" recently, I suppose. But there are plenty of offerings currently on television that tend to sate their appetites too, so I don't know what the point is. |
02:41:49 [Pipian] | Offerings like what? |
02:42:19 [Puyopuyo] | * Puyopuyo shrugs. |
02:42:28 [Puyopuyo] | I hear Tartatovsky's got another cartoon out. |
02:42:33 [Puyopuyo] | People tend to like his work. |
02:42:35 [Pipian] | True. |
02:42:39 [Puyopuyo] | Also, this is hilarious: http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/catalogmgr/cP-i79=mfddSxGjWay/browse/item/82092/4/0/0 |
02:43:07 [Pipian] | And Lauren Faust was involved with PPG, as a similar case in point. Which of course explains why the show got attention in the first place. |
02:43:20 [Pipian] | ... |
02:43:25 [Pipian] | Something is wrong with that box art |
02:43:30 [Pipian] | But I can't quite put my finger on it |
02:44:09 [Pipian] | It's either the DBZ-style character design |
02:44:16 [Pipian] | Or the asymmetrical face |
02:44:23 [Pipian] | Or the horribly drawn muscles |
02:44:24 [Puyopuyo] | Go American series! |
02:44:30 [Pipian] | Or the fact that something is just really bizarre with his abs |
02:44:37 [Pipian] | Also |
02:44:39 [Puyopuyo] | Something everyone needs: http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/catalogmgr/cP-i79=mfddSxGjWay/browse/item/63670/4/0/0 |
02:44:56 [Pipian] | I think his left arm is some sort of stubby dwarf thing |
02:45:02 [Pipian] | (Phocomelia?) |
02:45:17 [Pipian] | You know |
02:45:19 [Pipian] | I was going to say |
02:45:31 [Pipian] | "You know Sam, what I wish existed? |
02:45:35 [Pipian] | "A Noir lunch box. |
02:45:40 [Pipian] | "I'd be the coolest kid in school. |
02:45:49 [Puyopuyo] | I know! |
02:47:12 [nathanbp] | I was just thinking that too |
02:48:44 [Pipian] | But you don't go to school nathan |
02:49:05 [Pipian] | If you went to grad school |
02:49:20 [Pipian] | you'd understand what sort of cachet Noir lunch boxes really have |
02:51:14 [nathanbp] | .... |
02:51:22 [nathanbp] | yes but then I'd be in grad school |
02:51:44 [Pipian] | Well yes. |
03:03:02 [Puyopuyo] | I think everyone loses. |
03:17:54 [Puyopuyo] | What the hell Rizon. |

03:19:33 [Puyopuyo] | 2 dollars for the first five discs of Pumpkin Scissors... |
03:19:35 [Puyopuyo] | AND NO DISC 6. |
03:20:17 [Puyopuyo] | Oh, awesome. Same problem with Red Garden. |
03:26:13 [nathanbp] | lol |
03:27:19 [Puyopuyo] | "We'll sell you 5/6 of the series at great discount, but we're sold out of the last volume!" |
03:29:35 [Puyopuyo] | http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/07/us/07pharmacies.html <- What a world we live in. Guess making a House joke would be inappropriate. |
03:30:34 [Pipian] | At least the thieves don't have lupus. |
03:30:51 [Puyopuyo] | Lupus treatment isn't addictive. |
03:31:02 [Puyopuyo] | Unlike say, cancer, where you keep coming back for more! |
03:31:10 [Puyopuyo] | (Okay, that was tasteless, even for me.) |
03:31:18 [Puyopuyo] | (I blame Wilson) |
03:41:21 [Puyopuyo] | Wow. I killed my internet by torrenting. Must've hit the bandwidth cap. |

04:07:39 [Puyopuyo] | ...also, no greet comment? I am sad. |
04:08:16 [Pipian] | No, that got removed during the refactor |
04:08:20 [Pipian] | It will probably return though! |
04:08:28 [Puyopuyo] | Oh good. |
04:13:59 [Puyopuyo] | Oy, Shigofumi for 30? |
04:14:13 [nathanbp] | Shigofumi wasn't that good |
04:14:43 [Puyopuyo] | Exactly. |
04:14:44 [nathanbp] | Jenn you should agree with me about Ian cosplaying |
04:14:50 [Puyopuyo] | Oh god no. |
04:14:52 [gadgetgrl] | what? |
04:15:13 [nathanbp] | I said he should cosplay the main character of Wandering Son |
04:15:40 [Puyopuyo] | Too many traps! |
04:16:47 [Pipian] | Well that's just it |
04:17:06 [Pipian] | Jenn would have to be the guy who wants to be a girl |
04:17:17 [nathanbp] | that doesn't work |
04:17:22 [Pipian] | Yes it does. |
04:17:28 [Pipian] | Nadeshiko? |
04:17:43 [nathanbp] | that was in girl's clothing |
04:18:28 [Pipian] | Right. I'm pretty sure the guy who wants to be a girl is in girl's clothing part of the time too?? |
04:20:04 [nathanbp] | ok, more accurately, Nadeshiko was recognizable |
04:21:04 [Puyopuyo] | Oh come no. Wandering Son isn't recognizable regardless. |
04:21:08 [Pipian] | Exactly |
04:21:20 [Puyopuyo] | It honestly doesn't matter either way. |
04:21:23 [Pipian] | I was going to say that I'm pretty sure that that would have no impact on whether or not Jenn should be the lead. |
04:23:26 [gadgetgrl] | i'd have to see the anime...which i have sitting on my desktop...stupid school and such getting in the way :p |
04:24:07 [Pipian] | You sound like me |
04:26:13 [nathanbp] | pretty sure to have a chance of being recognized you have to be recognizable as being crossdressed |
04:26:32 [Pipian] | I am pretty sure that wouldn't really matter! |
04:26:44 [Pipian] | (It would not be recognized regardless) |
04:36:55 [nathanbp] | true |
04:37:28 [nathanbp] | I'd say we've done less recognizable things but I can't think what |
04:38:47 [Puyopuyo] | ...what have you done for the last few years? |
04:38:56 [Puyopuyo] | Shugo Chara, which was recognized. Chrno Crusade, very recognized... |
04:39:10 [Puyopuyo] | Ouran, very recognized (and yet I'm invisible...damn light) |
04:40:26 [nathanbp] | bakemonogatari, recognized |
04:40:57 [Pipian] | And that's all of them |
04:40:59 [Pipian] | So there you go |
04:48:40 [gadgetgrl] | can you link me to a typical picture or screenshot? |
04:48:42 [Puyopuyo] | ....wow. Pumpkin Scissors DVD 6, done by Funimation... |
04:48:46 [Puyopuyo] | 100 bucks. |
04:49:11 [Puyopuyo] | Guess that's one way to convince customers to buy your thinpacks/box sets. |
04:49:56 [nathanbp] | WHAT? $100? |
04:50:03 [Puyopuyo] | One seller. |
04:50:09 [Puyopuyo] | Let's see what Ebay says. |
04:50:12 [Puyopuyo] | 45 dollars. |
04:50:14 [Pipian] | gadgetgrl: http://gargarstegosaurus.wordpress.com/2010/09/27/hourou-musuko-to-get-anime/ |
04:50:20 [Pipian] | I hope you find those characters identifiable! |
04:50:38 [nathanbp] | that would be the screen shot to use |
04:50:47 [Puyopuyo] | Nathan: It's completely out of print. |
04:50:58 [nathanbp] | ah |
04:53:56 [nathanbp] | I dunno why they even do single dvds for some of these series |
04:55:18 [gadgetgrl] | you'd really have to stick together and get the details spot on |
04:55:32 [gadgetgrl] | the girl would be the only trigger, and the guy would be the add-on |
04:55:51 [Pipian] | So the girl in the front is a guy |
04:55:54 [Pipian] | And the guy in the back is a girl |
04:55:56 [Pipian] | Just so you know |
04:56:23 [Puyopuyo] | Ah, I see what the problem is. |
04:56:30 [Puyopuyo] | ADV released volumes 1-5...and then died. |
04:56:52 [Puyopuyo] | Funimation picked it up and just shoved the ADV episodes into "part" packs, so 60 bucks for a case containing DVDs 1 and 2. |
04:57:22 [Puyopuyo] | Fans got upset and angry. Funimation did a VERY, VERY limited release of DVD 6. |

16:01:44 [Pipian-Lab] | Guess I don't need that extra one after all! |
16:03:00 [Puyopuyo] | ...? |
16:03:01 [Puyopuyo] | What? |
16:03:09 [Pipian-Lab] | This is what I just heard |
16:03:24 [Pipian-Lab] | Apparently the shinies are being given out over WiFi Mystery Gift now?? |
16:03:52 [Puyopuyo] | ...apparently. |
16:03:56 [Puyopuyo] | And they're the same as the Gamestop ones. |
16:03:59 [Pipian-Lab] | Right |
16:04:07 [Pipian-Lab] | Which is good since I missed out on Raikou the first time around |
16:06:05 [Pipian-Lab] | (Thought it was just going to be a Europe thing) |
16:06:21 [Puyopuyo] | I thought so too. |
16:06:24 [Puyopuyo] | Guess it's a world thing. |

16:10:01 [Pipian-Lab] | No Toys R Us anywhere near me |
16:10:04 [Pipian-Lab] | Also less interesting |
16:10:15 [Puyopuyo] | True. |
16:10:17 [Puyopuyo] | But trade-fodder. |
16:10:22 [Pipian-Lab] | Eh I guess |
