    End of r*** in ero anime and games?

    Thoughts. The letter does an admirable job of catching lay people up to speed with our terms. It's a little loose in places (don't get me started!), but I would hope that most hentai fans would agree that Equality Now did not deliberately stretch the truth when trying to define terms like...

    Segregation is an easy-to-implement option. Pretend the board's downloading forums were divided into two halves. The first half is the same as right now. No changes whatsoever. The second half has some new rules put in place. Rule #1: no multi-threads. The forum restricts users' posting...

    Suzumiya Haruhi Season 2

    I wrote this reply to that chap from last night. The idea only just came to me right now, but -- forgive my arrogance -- I think I've hit the nail spot on the head: I had to tweak the words downward a bit when I posted it on Youtube, otherwise it wouldn't have fit the max character limit...

    Thanks! I didn't know that! :distressed: Wait a second. Are you wheeljack? What you've said about the torrent forums having in some cases become cashlink dumping grounds is true -- but it still doesn't validate wheeljack's unfair accusation that chompy and his moderators do not care what...

    As someone who hated Evangelion but loves Haruhi (including Endless Eight), I find myself conflicted by your comic.

    You said it yourself -- if possible. Most of the uploaders don't speak a lick of Japanese and those who do mostly do not speak a lick of English. Few are the members who are bilingual, and fewer still the JAV uploaders. Given a choice between just English and just Japanese titles, I'd want the...

    Suzumiya Haruhi Season 2

    Hmm. Makes me wonder if you'd like Endless Eight's sixth episode were it to add Tsuruya to the bunch as the episode's token anomaly. What's better than three cute girls in yukatas? How about four cute girls in yukatas? ;) I like Tsuruya, but she's a bit character. Favorite Bit Character...

    Why did I post this? 'Cause I thought it'd help us understand one another. Maybe we expect to get different things out of this show. Different people can like the same thing for very different reasons, after all, provided that thing has many facets to it. Who is your favorite character? Kyon...

    Help with Painting Over Doujinshi/Manga

    Too lazy to make any additional changes. All I did here was darken the skin shadows (by duplicating the original shadow-layer), lighten up the hair a little bit, and apply a selective Gaussian blur of 17-pixel radius @ 50-to-70 (I forget) lambda factor, whatever all that means.

    The wait for Bakunyuu Maid Kari Episode 2 is driving me crazy. I have to keep reminding myself that the first one wasn't very good except for the final scene and that Episode 2 will probably not be very good at all. "Quit having high hopes!" lol

    BitTorrent: IP banning entire nations

    A second thought which just occurred to me is that, if it's both possible and practical to use a proxy in conjunction with BitTorrent, then that would be the best plan of attack. To me, "practical" would mean one of two things: either (a) it's very easy to swap back and forth between proxy and...

    If it makes you feel any better, I saw Lucky Star as being "loli Pani Poni." And Pani Poni was pretty damn loli as it was. But yeah, I'm not a big fan of shows like PPD, Lucky Star, or AzuDai. (And yet, strangely enough, I love Sensei no Ojikan. I own it all on DVD! Go figure. lol) I haven't...

    What size are these JAV torrent files?

    It's a fair question. The answer is "no," but as a very rough approximation you can take note of how large the torrent file itself is. Torrent files tend to increase in size in proportion to two factors: how many separate files there are, and how large the file is or files are. That's been my...

    It looks like everyone is full of misinformation these days. lol a few months back, a friend of mine told me that Endless Eight had two parts. One was where Kyon didn't do his homework, and the other was where he did. The one where he didn't do it, he had many adventures with Haruhi. The one...

    IMO, not that many. There are only 10, maybe fewer, that you can see the first time you beat the game. What happens is this: you're presented with two choices. The second choice will always give you a sex scene, and then a Game Over. The first choice will always give you no sex scene, and the...

    Cheek bandage?

    If it's just a character design thing, then who was the first person to come up with it? Either it's based on real-life use of bandages, or it's a design trend that somebody started. I'm okay with the character design only-theory simply because I've never seen these bandages on real-life...

    Well, those tips don't seem to help me too much. ^^; All the guy basically says over and over is, "Copying is a good way to start. Copy people you like.

    Speaking of putting things on hold and picking things up ... I'm open to advice, but the thing is, people are always saying that you shouldn't learn to draw by copying others' work, and personally, I don't see how or why I'd want to go about it any other way. Initially, I mean! I agree that...

    I wouldn't say there is an unwritten rule.

If the major contributor respects the mod, that's one...

    I had a similar thought just now, Rein, before I reached your post and while reading Ben's. I think you're probably correct: there will be 8 episodes of this "Endless Eight" arc. Is its repetition similar to the repetition one experiences when playing through different storylines of an eroge...

    Rein, Ceewan: what's with all this talk of loli? You guys know I don't like loli. Apparently we have very different ideas of what 17, 16, and 15 years of age means for a girl when it comes to the world of hentai. Loli? Just because she's one year younger than 18? Most definitely not. Observe.

    Cheek bandage?
