"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Ah anime been watching it since Sailormoon came out.

DBZ was ok but I liked Dragonball better.

Paper Man means that DBZ was the pioneer for fighting shonen anime, which is roughly anime made for boys. Stuff like Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, Hunter X Hunter, Rurouni Kenshin and Yu Yu Hakusho.

Or maybe he means it's the pioneer for anime in America. In the past we've had Voltron and Thundercats then basically nothing for ten years. Then we got Sailormoon, Dragonball and Dragonball Z all coming out at around the same time. After that the floodgates were opened and now it's a steady rush.

As for Naruto, I fell bad for the people that only watch it in English. They are now getting into the filler arc. Man that time sucked I stopped watching for a few months than resumed with shippuden and now everything is ok again.

Why? For the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra?

Kidding. Second entry in Google is about a live action Dragonball movie. Live action anime kind of scares me. It could end up being almost decent or completely god awful.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Evangelion is probably going to turn into a movie too. Now that's scary.

Evangalion was pretty DEEP as far as when they would just drift off in their own heads.

Anyways Pook and Piccolo fused would make: Pookolo =P

Cowboy Bebop.

Enough said. :whistle:

I loved that show, one of the few animes that I actually watched on TV without downloading on the internet.

Samurai Champloo, which was basically made by the same team that did Bebop, is also a great series.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Yeah, but the date has been pushed back to 2009.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Actually, Robotech and Star Blazers were THE pioneer for anime in America. Thundercats was not anime and Voltron was bowlderdized and sanitized for American kids. Robotech and Star Blazers were the first American anime releases to present a dramatic story for kids without dumbing down or sanitizing the violence. These two shows ushered in an organized fandom for anime that didn't exist before.

Sailor Moon and DBZ were the spearhead of the Third Wave of anime fandom (first being Robotech and StarBlazers, second being Akira) and represent the commercialization and mainstreaming of anime.

Space Cruiser Yamato and the Super Dimension Fortress-1!!! :rockon:
Which was better weapon, the Wave Motion gun or the Reflex Cannon? It would have been nice to see the two battleships go against each other.

I forgot about Robotech. Yeah that was a pioneer. I never heard of Star Blazers. What about Speed Racer? My dad used to watch that when he was a kid.

Akira was one movie and it I don't think it was aired on TV so I don't know how big it's impact was. Any more data about the 2nd wave?

As for "bowlderdized" anime, that has happened to a great many of shows. Heck even Sailormoon which is technically a girls show got censored. The final season, Sailor Stars was never aired because some executives thought it was too "adult orientated" be be shown on day time TV.

What funny is that I think it's great that more and more anime is being shown on American TV and that it's getting more exposure. But the thing is, for the past 5 years or so 99.9% of the anime I watch is fansubbed, that I downloaded.

Speaking of fansubbed and Macross in the previous post, anybody check out "Macross Frontier"? So far only one episode is out and the next one isn't due out till April.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
