Obligitory Animes Thread

Well thanks for that honest answer, AF. As for aspergers, I asked because at about the time that the matrix and new starwars trilogy were making the rounds I read a psychological article (study?) of some sort that had some interesting remarks to make about the way in which people understand story telling (such as using the same parts of the brain for thinking about, regarding and deciphering the motives/needs of fictional "people" that they do for real ones. Even when those "people" weren't people at all.) and it had an interesting note about how when most people get a badly executed ending to something a number of mental alarms go off and they actually feel the same set of emotions one might feel at a personal betrayal. Various conjectures were made about the reason why this might be as well another curious note. Perhaps owing to their difficulty with reading people in the first place those with aspergers were far less likely to have this reaction.

Hence the question. That's all.

Interesting.
When you asked me this i actually looked it up to see what it was. When reading about it, it didn't make any sense because i don't show any signs of the disorder in any serious way. So it really confused me.

However with that little bit of knowledge you had, it made sense.

That being said, i understand the feeling of an ending screwing you over after watching the whole show or movie just to get that.
It's just even with said feeling, it doesn't impact the series as a whole for me.
It's sort of an ultra objective way of viewing things, even if i like or dislike the series, i follow that process.

Um, excuse me, but do you mind taking this into PMing? It's a little off-topic now, and I'd rather not have the mods take action.

I'd think from the fact I liked his post and didn't continue you might surmise we were finished.

@Xernuht. Relax, they're chill.


BTW, has anyone watched The Pet Girl of Sakurasou yet? I love it. Episode 12 got me sold and ready for more.

Sry, I meant it in a calm manner.

And I was wondering about Sakurasou. It almost came off as gender-flipped xxxHolic in premise alone.

Also, I'm sad Total Eclipse is over. Mostly because the only sequel to it is gonna be the VN.

Other finales and retrospectives:

BTOOOM!: Best finale yet... as long as we get a second season. Otherwise, Madhouse gets all my rage, but has also made one of the better series this season. Also waiting on Nobuna 2.

SAO: It's weird. Episode 24 would have made for an awesome finale, but we got a decent epilogue for 25. Still, I'd hang on for a second season, if only for the hope of Gun Gale Online. At any rate, Sword Art was a definite powerhouse this season, and it's soundtrack was amazing.

Tonari No Kaibutsu-kun: A good series with a lackluster finish. Not to say it was bad, per se, just that it would have worked better as a mid-season endpoint.

Medaka Box: Gainax has still got it. A great series with a great new season, and proof that S3 is coming, with SHINJI F**KING IKARI AS THE VILLAIN! I must prepare myself...

Just waiting on Code:Breaker, Sukinayo, and Zetsuen No Tempest.
