The Animu Thread Ver 2 (dhex, this one's for you)

[FortNinety]

I'll admit it; 99% of time I post anything in the animu thread, I'm hoping you'll come in and say something Mike (even though I won't agree with the sentiment, I still appreciate the humor). Well, here's stuff that I do believe is worth your attention, at least the following...

... Particularly the comments. And yes, the entire community is filled with many such delusional folks, so it's interesting to hear them they say something "serious" every once in a while.

Why a new thread?

Why a new thread?

It's a ploy to get dhex's attention.

It'll never work.

better to name this thread "LOL Weeaboos"

As previous noted, was going to state that I'm certain that Mike never bothers with the first animu thread, but this particular topic seems right up his alley, it being about broken toys and all. But I just checked and he does in fact pop in the other one every once in a while. My bad!

I was also bored.

a note about the hikkimori thing - in america, back when we had social stigmas, we called that "being a shut-in".

as for the rest of it, what's to say? it'd be like my commenting on finnish grammar.

more to that previous point, the hikkiomori thing is basically "lol japan" no? i.e. something that happens in a lot of developed nations (due to income levels, smaller families, etc) but becomes its own specialized "thing" because foreigners are doing it while doing a few nerdy foreign things.
