The take of “A Japanese” on my post about Strawberry Panic 21…

Alright, here’s a link to his comment: http://not.dotq.org/?p=117#comment-917

Let’s “study this comment” as Oishi might say.

The fact you cannot understand the storyline and/or Japanese language is your own personal problem.

Keep in mind that this is Strawberry Panic we’re talking about. The guy must be stark raving mad- the show HAS NO storyline. Furthermore, supposing you can call the crap it’s made of storyline (and not Maria-sama ga Miteru rip-off), what’s there to get? Here, let me try my best to glorify Strawberry Panic’s “plot”:

It’s the exciting, burning, passionate tale of the love webs between dozens of middle- and high-school Catholic girls! Watch as they lie about their intriguing pasts, cheat themselves of their true desires, and steal eachother’s virginities!

In other words, lesbian school girl soap opera. Now, what this all has to do with my understanding of Japanese, I’m not so sure. Am I supposed to believe that “aaaa~ Nagisa-chan” isn’t, roughly translated, of course, “ahhhh, Nagisa~” ? That’s about 80% of the show’s dialogue right there, and there’s no sensical narration to speak of, so what’s there not to get?

It isn’t a fault of the creators of the anime.

Hmm, if I write a story, and it makes no sense (ex: I flew to the moon in a tentacle monster and then fapped so hard to loliporn that my orgasm blew up the earth.) is it not my fault that it makes no sense? Since when were tentacle monsters spaceships? Though I wouldn’t put it past the Japanese, orgasms blowing up the earth? Wait, that’s probably been done. Bad example. The point is, the creator has every responsibility to make their work good. No one else has that responsibility. The audience certainly doesn’t.

Complaining about a free lunch that you illegally get is very ugry.

I agree wholeheartedly here, but let’s keep a few things in mind. 1) who the fuck is going to pay to watch Strawberry Panic?, 2) if I could get nutrition watching this shit I might not complain [remember, there IS no free lunch- it's a law of thermodynamics. Number 2 or something.], and 3) illegality only means so much in a world in which countries bomb others for no good reason and people discriminate against eachother based on race, religion, and intelligence. Don’t you think it’s a lesser crime to enjoy ripping on anime?

You are just trying to make yourself look like a smart critic by insulting anime and its the creators, which is the only way for you to make interesting comments about them because you cannot understand them.

Here you are wrong on three points. First off, I’m not “trying to make myself look like a smart critic”, I’m being a smart critic. Only a stupid critic would say good things about Strawberry Panic. Secondly, I don’t insult the creators. I criticize them. In fact, if you read my posts, you’ll notice that I praise the creators of this wondrous pile of shit at every turn. Thirdly, you’re off on the direction in the second clause: it is not the only way for me to make interesting comments about the anime. It’s the only way for ANYONE to make interesting comments about it. You think praising the show would be more intelligent? More interesting? I’ll try it on episode 22, and my readers can let me know if it’s a better read than my Strawberry Panic-aimed invectives.

I hope you stop watching anime and go to Disney.

Disney was good in the days of Sword in the Stone and The Little Mermaid. But right now, yes, even Strawberry Panic is a better use of my time than Disney. It destroys my mind less quickly, and that says a lot. But, luckily for this “A Japanese” fellow, half of his wish will be semi-granted rather soon. I might not have announced this to everyone, but I plan on only watching one anime series come October.

Well, if this guy was actually Japanese, it doesn’t reflect so well on the Japanese attitude towards humor and critical comedy :\

Anyway, only five more episodes of this shit to go? Hurrah!!

it is moist & delicious meta

and it's not even a lie!

Out of curiosity, did this commenter post from a Japanese IP? It seems odd for a person who speaks English as a second language to use the term “free lunch” in that manner.

I wonder how this person came up with the legality issue, you can’t dislike anything without buying it? And to answer your first question, nobody.

Jeff- I do not have the proper statistics tools to answer that question, unfortunately. Though judging by some of the things jp talks about (english expressions used commonly by Japanese people under the impression that they’re popular this side of the pond) I wouldn’t put it past them to use “free lunch”.

Anga- I think just about every question I asked that post was rhetorical, though it’s good to know that the implied “correct” answer is known by others.

Man, I’m normally the first anime fag to defend every single thing the Japanese do, but Strawberry Panic? Honestly sucks. I just can’t find anything good to say about it. And I can find good things to say about Digimon, for gods sakes.
Out of all the great anime out there, this guy chooses to latch onto this one?
Psshh. Your reviews beat the actual show by x10

So my reviews have a value of zero? Or is it less than negative ten?

We need to decide whether SP itself is worth nothing or whether it’s actively deteriorating- i.e. of negative value.

That’s a good point. In my opinion, as soon as Amane rushed in on a white horse to try and prevent dickgirl rape in episode 7? The show started going downhill rapidly by 5 points per episode.
(Although I guess you could argue it started fading as soon as it began)

Also, the longer it runs, the more stupid fanboys on 4chan it attracts…
There has to be a formula, or something.

In any case, if SP’s current value is -67, your reviews would have an equivalent value of +67. It cancels out the evil.

it might interest you that economics proves that SP isn’t a free lunch too. It requires various levels of processing, and hence isn’t a free good. Anyway, this show causes negative externalities, so if you posting about them negates the social effects of raving fuckers like him, I’d say you’re doing a damn fine job.
