| It's actually the 1997 anime adaptation I had in mind, based on that manga. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berserk_(1997_TV_series) I didn't realize it was that old. :lol: Haven't seen the 1997 adaptation at all, but I'm sure it has to be better than the 2016 adaptation by a country mile... Should p... |

| Everyone hates Americans. What am I supposed to do? I didn't choose to be born in this country. And it's not like I support American imperialism or any of the other f***ed up s**t the US does. I wouldn't worry too much - the article that was referenced ends up talking mostly about expats in the con... |

| Dita is an adorable character - esp the way she insists on calling Hibiki "Mr Alien". Keep watching - the 2nd half is just as good, as is the ending. If you like Vandread, you'd probably like Dual Parallel Trouble Adventure, and the assorted Tenchi series'. They have a similar vibe. Sci-f... |

| Seems like your thought-process is a bit misplaced. Regarding the red-rule of no 18+ in the teen room, you seem to prioritizing a single instance of hypothetical need, such as an adult wanting to read manga, over the greater goal of keeping the teen room safe for teens. Teen safety seems like a high... |

| I powered through Red Ranger's anime adaptation in a few days. It's actually pretty good; you can tell it comes from a place of love of both sentai and isekai. I hope they adapt the rest of the manga, although I don't know if the manga has reached its end yet. A bunch of these other ones are actual... |

| The main thing that seems to set Dubai apart from anywhere else is that Dubai is still pretty open about their caste system, which other nations try to pretend they don't still also live by. ^ You've never been in India for sure. No, but I did watch "Slumdog Millionaire" once. :wtg: Jokes... |

| So that would mean...I am correct in my assertion that Mr. Krabs is enabling Pearl?!? How do you break the cycle?Hmm... You are correct - by always giving her what she wants, he is enabling her. Mr Krabs also pressures other people into letting her have her way, too, which only further enables her.... |

| Wait... WHAT?!? Are you serious @uncommondenominator? Could they have learned that behavior from Pearl though? What are your thoughts? Given that bratty teenagers existed long before spongebob did, I daresay that they didn't learn it from Pearl. Kids typically learn this type of behavior from their... |

| I am pretty sure the vast majority of 16-year-old teens don't defiantly stomp their feet and yell at their dad "BUT I WANNA GO TO THE PARTY!! ! ! ! !" (the episode "Whale Watching") Hate to say it, but that is, in fact, how many teenagers and young adults act - esp if they're in... |

| I'd like to think I try to have a large variety of tastes in genres and whatnot, so pinning down exactly what I like is a bit tricky. But I do love mecha, action and adventure.

| At 5ft7-5ft8 I am facing discrimination because of my height. Is limb lengthening surgery something I should consider perhaps? Honestly, not to invalidate your experience, but, you're not even short. You're "average". If people tease you about being "short", odds are they're onl... |
