I find nothing wrong in liking Ouran, it's still one of my favorite comedies. Actually, the only time I felt guilty while watching anime was when I was watching Nichijou on the train. And that's because I couldn't contain my laughter.
It is for me, considering im usually reading berserk or something, laughing at all the blood and gore and such. Yes, I do in fact find a man being cut groin to brain funny as hell. No, I will not put on that straight jacket.
One weird question that I hate to ask, How is Evangelion? I've never seen it and have always been curious. No spoilers or anything, but is it good?

It's a bit sad that we couldn't have any original content for our mascot, mostly because that means that our story must compensate for this shortcoming. But anyways, here's my take on the name and the story, and feel free to correct anything I missed, especially the typos and the grammar errors.
Mashuu Danko (魔集団子) The name consists of the kanji for "Brigade" and "Child" (which is a common part of female names), while the surname consists of the kanji for "Magic" (well, one of them) and "Gathering".
The world of 2D is a coveted, mysterious realm which has been pursued by generations of unlucky inhabitants of 3D. It is believed that the person who could cross the border between 2D and 3D will have their greatest wishes come true, and all the things that they always considered to be nothing but a product of someone's imagination will become reality. Many methods to cross this border have been put into test, be it such innocent things as sleep or such unspeakable deeds as suicide, but in the end, none of them turned out to be successful - and if something did, the fortunate traveler did not share the secrets of their success with us. As the time goes on, more and more people give up on this impossible task, moving on to the various trifle aspects of their lives, like work or family. Humanity desperately needs a proof that their attempts of crossing the border are not futile, that the 2D world does exist... And this proof, ladies and gentlemen, is what are we going to speak about.
Akihabara, the otaku Mecca, is perhaps the single place in the whole 3D world that is the closest to 2D. 2D instantly surrounds anyone who enter Akihabara: it looks at them from the giant screens, posters and promotional banners, and its streets are filled with characters that are believed to exist in 2D, be it catgirls, Gundams or even such mythical beings as maids. Thus, it should not surprise anyone that the very border between 2D and 3D has been finally crossed in this very place - but not from our side. In fact, it was a 2D being that invaded our world, though no one could witness the act itself. Unsurprisingly, for quite a long time, no one could even perceive her as 2D simply because of her surroundings. Just as it is hard to find a black cat in a dark room, so is it impossible to see the actual 2D person among the crowd of 2D worshipers. As the time went on, she has been assimilating all the information that surrounded her in Akihabara, partially because it reminded her of the home so much. By the time when she was finally discovered by the agents of [MTGSB], she assimilated about as much knowledge about 2D as has been posted on 2channel over the whole time of its existence. To prevent Akihabara from the informational collapse, the agents decided to contain the visitor in the clan's facilities.
Currently, the visitor has the shape of a girl about 1 meter tall, dressed in the traditional otaku garb: jeans, checkered shirt, glasses and a headband. She has been given the codename Mashuu Danko, after the clan itself. She turned out to be a very cheerful girl who also possesses vast knowledge on all the topics of discussion in the clan, and has already been a great help in the times of crisis. However, perhaps because of her prolonged existence in 3D world, she has the periods of sleep that may last from a single day to a couple of weeks, and it somehow affects everyone around her, too. In fact, some times of crisis has been caused by Danko herself, but the timely actions of the clan members managed to overcome them all. Even with the risk of such events happening again, the clan considers Danko to be their mascot of sorts, symbolizing their wisdom, easygoing character, and, most of all, the 2D soul that burns in every one of them. After all, with the actual 2D character living by their side, not a single person could ever doubt the existence of the 2D world, our Paradise, our Avalon.
*sniffs* S-so... beautiful! ;w; Oh Danko-chan! (Yes, I'm glad she's a girl. :embarrass:) I could already start playing the Genshiken OP in your honor! >w< *shot*
So i forgot to mention this but, like im pretty sure you guys know Bleach is in its 'Final Arc', so how do we feel about this?
Same appears to be the case for Naruto.... hell the only one not showing any signs of stoping is One Piece (although imo that series needs to be killed this instant).
Any predictions on how we will ever survive once the big 3 become The One?

Meh, there's still Fairy Tail for me, as well as Negima.
But God, the last chapter of Naruto. I was like, "ganbare minna!" then all of a sudden: Sasuke.
You do know that there are only 3 chapters of Negima left, right?
Speaking of which, Medaka can end even before the anime starts airing. I dunno, I don't read shounen that often, but I do feel that something big's coming. 2012, perhaps?

But, but, at the 10 year anniversary Kubo said it would go for another 10 years.
Oh well, it was a fun ride, but it's better to kill it now than let it drag on 8 more years.
Same appears to be the case for Naruto.... hell the only one not showing any signs of stoping is One Piece (although imo that series needs to be killed this instant).
I see Naruto having 2 or 3 more arcs left in the current storyline (Peace after the war, Sasukue goes bananas, Final battle).
1piece could honestly go on forever. The whole 'there's an unknown number of islands' thing can be played into so easily.
Any predictions on how we will ever survive once the big 3 become The One?
Read Toriko and Bakuman? That's what I'll (still) be doing.
In regards to One Piece.... we actually just passed the halfway point. So, 1000 chapter or more manga isnt a possibility but an inevitability at this point
Sad face Bleach, it was my gateway to this wonderful world.
Oh man, now this chain of ending manga series has finally kicked me in the guts. Franken Fran abruptly ended after going strong for about five years and 61 chapter, and I'm not satisfied enough with the ending to cope with that. Sure, I'm glad that the author is still going strong, and I do look forward to his next work (Scissors-Woman, sounds intriguing), but really, I wish he will return to Fran sooner or later.
Yeah i suppose Fairy Tail will rise to become one of the new Three.
as well as Negima.
Nope like it was mentioned it is also ending which is sad since i thought the series had so much more life left, they basically already put asuna to sleep, she woke up and now they are showing Negi as dead.... and im like WTH?
But God, the last chapter of Naruto. I was like, "ganbare minna!" then all of a sudden: Sasuke.
NUUUUU!!!! BAD SIGN!! VERY BAD SIGN!!! DX
I'll admit the chapter was fun but i saw the Sasuke appearance a mile away...
But, but, at the 10 year anniversary Kubo said it would go for another 10 years.
Oh well, it was a fun ride, but it's better to kill it now than let it drag on 8 more years.
Yep hilarious that he said it was only half way done and then suddenly BAM we covered almost all the other half in a single arc
I see Naruto having 2 or 3 more arcs left in the current storyline (Peace after the war, Sasukue goes bananas, Final battle).
The way the last chapter is set up i doubt there will be a break between Tobi and Sasuke fighting, at least not enough to really qualify it as separate Arcs.
1piece could honestly go on forever. The whole 'there's an unknown number of islands' thing can be played into so easily.
Yes it could, but SHOULD it? honestly i feel the sooner it dies the better.
Read Toriko and Bakuman? That's what I'll (still) be doing.

Given its similarity to the current ones and how it just burns through every shounen trope in the book with the intensity of dragonfire... yep, it definitely will. :xd:

The last few ones were indeed tear-jerkers. ;w;
But seriously? I have high doubts that Negi is dead. And as a whole, I think this series really shows that Akamatsu can write a very decent shounen. I also like his unique blending of his ecchi-harem-romance with tropes from the shounen genre.
I'll admit the chapter was fun but i saw the Sasuke appearance a mile away...
Well yeah, it had to happen but now!? Right when Naruto is about to be all noble and epic!? The fact that this whiny, delusional emo bastard has shown means something going to go wrong. BADLY!!! DX *panics*
Hello fellow anime/manga fans... I come with a simple question
What is your favorite guilty present manga/anime?
For me, considering how I look, my friends were shocked when the saw me reading Ouran High School Host Club... I really liked it for some reason. It was very eccentric and funny....
Apparently due to a miscommunication between me and the guy writing our story, ours was ready on time but wasn't posted to the entry thread by him, and I was gone yesterday. Your call. I'll pm you the entry in a few hours if you want it since I'm on a phone right now, or you can find it in our clan thread.
According to Clans Contest Rules, if five or more clans turn in before deadline, I am not allowed to except late entries.
I'm sorry, man. :/
Umm, did we miss the submission deadline for our entry? Well damn. I remember when mods were free to take our entry from our thread if no one could post it in time, but it seems like it's not the case here. Oh well.
EDIT: Damn, and it turns out to be my fault in the end. Goddamn. Well, at least we got our mascot up and running, just not up for the contest. Not like we had any chance to win, right?
Eh, don't feel too bad. It happens, and it was just for fun anyway.
By the way, is anybody here besides me watching Symphogear? I'm thinking it might take a slightly darker turn ala Madoka. They seem to be unafraid to throw around adult themes.
Yeah, I'm still watching it, though some parts of it are headscratch-worthy. The fact that it was supposed to be 26 eps instead of 13 is quite clear, since I don't feel I have enough time to sympathize with the characters. It's like that scene when Hibiki comes into her room, gets questioned by Miku, and runs away right after that. No time for love, gotta do crazy faces and beat badly drawn monsters!
At least the music is great.
And to reiterate on my point from the last point: I think Danko is good enough to be included in our next OP post, maybe even get a reference in the thread title. Now, where did Memnarch go?..
I dunno. I just posted us to the Clan HQ thread because the mods were on me about that. I don't really want to be the one that does all this any more, but... I seem to be here more now. I'm sure that'll change once I have a job again though.
EDIT: Damn, and it turns out to be my fault in the end. Goddamn. Well, at least we got our mascot up and running, just not up for the contest. Not like we had any chance to win, right?
Well it's certainly all right with me. At the very least, we have a mascot that is both cute while at the same time she embodies the spirit of this clan. >:3
Sorry, guys. I've been wrangling with the insurance company after my brief altercation, and it's been consuming my evenings--I try to get here, and I usually just get tired and sleep after 9-5ing and calling a million different answering machines at Allstate.
I should be good for the next couple of days. Someone hit me up with what needs to be done for the next thread to start, and I'll try to put that under my belt as soon as possible.
It is for me, considering im usually reading berserk or something, laughing at all the blood and gore and such. Yes, I do in fact find a man being cut groin to brain funny as hell. No, I will not put on that straight jacket.

Yes that Telegraphed punch that seems straight out of Asura's Wrath.... i prefer what she did with durandal though
