Breast Milk Ep1 DVD Special (Qwaser Of Stigmata)

horrifically fascinating sums up my feeling but I'll give Ep1 a go, since I want to experience this piece of shit in all it's glory.

PS Only 8 minutes preview and had so much nipple sucking it's not funny.

**Charismatic** · 2010-01-02 10:51

Where can I see this breast milk special?

**Eaglestrike** · 2010-01-02 12:19

Looks like Dance in the Vampire Bund, Durarara and maybe So Ra No Wo To for me. First two seem likely, not sure if So Ra will have the right combination for me to enjoy, depends on if there will be an attempt at plot or if the girls are cute enough to be likeable.

No one interested in Katanagatari?

Definitely interested. The art style looks great so I'll definitely be on the look-out for it.

Katanagatari, shit till the bitter end

I always had a suspicion that when Nisioisin stopped being brilliant and did something bad that it would at least be spectacularly bad.
Part of the reason I got so far into Katanagatari in the first place was because it was so boringly bad. I was simply indifferent to it, so I focused on the odd bit that did work, and didn't quite work out that I genuinely hated it.
By then I owned the whole damn thing, and gradually obstinance set in. I struggled valiantly forward through the tenth volume, to no one's benefit, including my own.
I literally do not remember a god damn thing about volume ten.
I barely remember most of volume eleven, and I read the fucking thing earlier this week.
Took advantage of particularly hideous traffic on the bus route home to plow through the last two volumes and kill the fucker from my to read pile.
I think Katanagatari failed for three primary reasons - the schedule, which was a stunt thing involving churning out a book a month for an entire year (and seems to have encouraged him to pad the fuck out of the books with 30 page recaps and write books even when he clearly didn't have a good idea); the structure, where each book has them up against a new sword, and basically locked him into a structure of long on the road conversation followed by introduction of the new sword wielder and sword and then a brief action scene to recover it; and the two lead characters, who have to be the two most boring people he's ever created, and who have absolutely no chemistry whatsoever.
The volume that entirely takes place somewhere else with the main guy's sister fighting ninja is easily the best volume in the series for a reason.
If there was a reward for my pathological need to force my way through books I do not like, it was that the last volume brought an end to the failure of mediocrity; at long last, the colossal failure I had been searching for appeared.
There follow spoilers. I assume some people intend to watch the anime; I do myself, in the hopes that they can distill something watchable without the burden of his prose tics (which are deeply irritating on material this flimsy.)
The volume kicks off with the tragic death of the heroine. It felt like killing her off was the only way to bring some sort of emotional foundation to events, and effectively admitted that the character and her relationship with his bog standard lead had utterly failed to amount to anything. Reducing her to a stock cliche was the only way he could replace her with something that could actually induce momentum.
Bringing in some hastily conceived bullshit about changing history was merely embarrassing; having the hero fight through all the swords and destroy them in some sort of Capcom boss battle riff was actually pretty entertaining, and sending him off in a self-indulgent epilogue, traveling with the god damn villain (admittedly, the most interesting character in the book) was just the final admission of absolute failure.
Bakemonogatari episode three was really good.

Nisioisin works are pretty much bad, check his lastest Manga Medaka Box (stopped after chapter 15 cause it became shit, heared it's gotten even worse) and the Bakemonogatari Novels(Only reason it was a hit cause of Shaft)

http://theeasternstandard.blogspot.c...karen-bee.html

You know how to tell the difference between an adult and a child, right? Children have only see the Nausicaa movie. Adults have read the manga.
As if two volumes of Bakemonogatari and the Kizumonogatari prequel weren't enough proof, Nisioisin is always at his best when he's allowed to write whatever the hell he wants to.

Where can I see this breast milk special?

Not worth it trust me it's just cast talking about this shitty series story line, with nipple sucking and some sexual stuff added for shock value.

**Charismatic** · 2010-01-02 15:08

Yeah... but I want to see the nipple sucking and sexual stuff added for shock value.

Kowarekake no Orgol

Before I start, yes it's a moe-based show that features a cute loli lead character.

I found this strangely appealing because it's directed by Keiichiro Kawaguch and it a short OVA so it didn't outstay it's welcome, the Plot it's paper thin “a musician who goes to one unsuccessful audition after another. one day, he meets a mysterious girl who ends up living with him and then experiencing his new moe tone life style", lastly the animation quality looks very high, with heaps of detail and great character designs(shows a lot of love went into this).

If your a hardcore moe/Loli fan this won't disappoint.

PS yes it's a chobits rip off

**Elcura** · 2010-01-03 12:03

Chobits sucked, so I can imagine anything that has the balls to rip it off sucks as well. Eh, maybe I'll look at the first episode.

**Ker** · 2010-01-03 12:14

It's only one episode and for a Moe show the story structure was amazingly done, it's a shame for me to admit this but I completely lost my track of time cause how engaging it was(last part) and the emotion impact it was able to achieve by the end.

Edit So i don't forget, the last part starts from 18:00 to 28:20.
Edit2 now to remove it and forget I ever watched it lol.

**Ker** · 2010-01-03 16:39

So I thought I was watching a grimdark post-cyberpunk show with plenty of fauxlosophic narration, then suddenly it turns into Who Framed Roger Rabbit then this happens:

Ah, Ergo Proxy. You can't fucking go wrong with that Anime.

**warc** · 2010-01-03 23:41

I just finished watching Ergo Proxy. It had a lot of "wtf is going on" moments but was great. The disney spoof episode was awesome because it featured the best character in the show, Pino. I hnng'd heartily everytime she was on screen.

**Maguspk** · 2010-01-03 23:51

Downloading Ergo Proxy now, hopefully not disappointing.

Hopefully you found the Shinsen Subs version. If so, don't forget to read the info at the end of the episodes. It explains a lot of the references made in each episode (of which there are usually a lot). It allows you to appreciate the anime a bit more IMO.

Got that torrent, it's the DVD apparently with English/Japanese audio/subs? Should I download a different torrent, it hasn't gotten far yet.
