01:25:18 <nathanbp> lemme know how that works out for you
01:28:22 <Puyopuyo> Probably poorly.
01:28:27 <Puyopuyo> I can't remember what I was going to do with it.
01:30:37 <nathanbp> Sam you didn't mention Jinki: Extend when going through the list of things right stuf had on sale
01:31:07 <nathanbp> also Princess Tutu
01:31:19 <Puyopuyo> ...Princess Tutu is on SALE?
01:31:33 <nathanbp> yes
01:31:38 <nathanbp> although I don't know that I can buy it
01:31:45 <nathanbp> when the subtitles call her "Duck"
01:32:02 <Puyopuyo> I try to ignore it.
01:32:11 <nathanbp> (Also Pumpkin Scissors and RahXephon!)
01:32:15 <Puyopuyo> That was the one thing that really pissed me off.
01:32:27 <Puyopuyo> (I will buy season 1 of Pumpkin Scissors if A SECOND SEASON COMES OUT)
01:33:12 <Puyopuyo> Huh, they changed their savings layout.
01:34:13 <Puyopuyo> ...also, this is more than I paid for PuriTu
01:34:16 <Puyopuyo> I paid 25.
01:34:40 <Puyopuyo> And keep in mind that I also accepted .hack//Sign's "Silver Knight" instead of Ginkan.
01:34:53 <Puyopuyo> I will accept literal translations of things that should just be treated as names...
01:35:22 <nathanbp> I think Ahiru sounds more like a Japanese name than Duck does an English one though
01:35:38 <nathanbp> wait you're complaining about Princess Tutu costing $27 vs $25?
01:36:53 <nathanbp> There. (Ordered Jinki: Extend, Pandora Hearts set 2, Princess Tutu and Utakata)
01:56:30 <Puyopuyo> Not complaining, merely musing that there have been better sales.
01:56:38 <Puyopuyo> Though now I wonder what the standard PuriTu price is.
01:57:04 <Puyopuyo> Nathan, why do you hate money?
01:57:16 <Puyopuyo> (And no, Duck isn't an English name.)
01:58:54 <nathanbp> What, are those not worthy purchases?
02:02:33 <Pipian> I suspect it's more about the fact that, even on sale, that's probably $100
02:03:46 <Puyopuyo> Really?
02:05:20 <Puyopuyo> Jink Extend is 12...
02:05:34 <Pipian> $60 then
02:05:44 <Pipian> For
02:05:45 <Pipian> Well
02:05:46 <Puyopuyo> *Jinki
02:05:48 <Pipian> Utakata
02:06:31 <Puyopuyo> I have a deal with Nathan where I don't insult his taste in anime, and he lets me go to his place to watch anime whenever he's free.
02:06:54 <Puyopuyo> Urg. Utakata is a 30 for 50. Not a deal I'd take.
02:09:53 <nathanbp> probably not going to get much cheaper?
02:09:59 <nathanbp> altho Jinki was $12...
02:11:14 <nathanbp> speaking of spending money I should really get some more bookshelves >_>
02:12:53 <Puyopuyo> Yes.
02:12:57 <Puyopuyo> Buy some bookshelves.
02:15:29 <nathanbp> so much work
02:17:48 <Puyopuyo> So buy bookshelves, leave them unset up, summon me.
02:23:46 <Puyopuyo> Awesome. All of Kannazuki no Miko for 24 dollars.
02:23:51 <Puyopuyo> 1 dollar per soul-crushing episode.
02:25:14 <nathanbp> kannazuki no miko is only 12 eps pretty sure
02:27:00 <Puyopuyo> ...was it honestly that short?
02:27:18 <Puyopuyo> You're right, 12.
02:27:24 <Puyopuyo> Wow. 2 dollars per soul-crushing episode.
02:27:32 <Puyopuyo> (Where NOTHING GOES RIGHT)
02:28:19 <nathanbp> lol
02:28:36 <nathanbp> it could be worse, it could be the Kannazuki no Miko manga
02:29:22 <Puyopuyo> ....
02:29:28 <Puyopuyo> Soul-rending power!
02:36:11 <Pipian> You know, I am finding it hard to raise much in the way of objections to this My Little Pony business.  Seems to do alright with actually invoking traditional slapstick cartoon humor rather than being absurdly stupid and sickening.
02:37:09 <Pipian> I'm not sure exactly why people are raving about it
02:37:16 <Pipian> But it does seem like passable fluff
02:38:15 <Puyopuyo> Passable fluff is enough for people when the alternative is what's been available.
02:39:08 <Pipian> This is basically my stance
02:39:18 <Pipian> It's no Kricfalusi
02:39:54 <Pipian> And it's not paltry feel-good crap either, so it seems like it serves as a decent callback to older cartoon tropes at least.
02:40:07 <Pipian> So I guess for the people starving for those maybe they really really like it.
02:40:41 <Puyopuyo> I suppose.
02:41:09 <Puyopuyo> People have been famished for "cartoons" recently, I suppose. But there are plenty of offerings currently on television that tend to sate their appetites too, so I don't know what the point is.
02:41:49 <Pipian> Offerings like what?
02:42:19 * Puyopuyo shrugs.
02:42:28 <Puyopuyo> I hear Tartatovsky's got another cartoon out.
02:42:33 <Puyopuyo> People tend to like his work.
02:42:35 <Pipian> True.
02:42:39 <Puyopuyo> Also, this is hilarious: http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/catalogmgr/cP-i79=mfddSxGjWay/browse/item/82092/4/0/0
02:43:07 <Pipian> And Lauren Faust was involved with PPG, as a similar case in point.  Which of course explains why the show got attention in the first place.
02:43:20 <Pipian> ...
02:43:25 <Pipian> Something is wrong with that box art
02:43:30 <Pipian> But I can't quite put my finger on it
02:44:09 <Pipian> It's either the DBZ-style character design
02:44:16 <Pipian> Or the asymmetrical face
02:44:23 <Pipian> Or the horribly drawn muscles
02:44:24 <Puyopuyo> Go American series!
02:44:30 <Pipian> Or the fact that something is just really bizarre with his abs
02:44:37 <Pipian> Also
02:44:39 <Puyopuyo> Something everyone needs: http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/catalogmgr/cP-i79=mfddSxGjWay/browse/item/63670/4/0/0
02:44:56 <Pipian> I think his left arm is some sort of stubby dwarf thing
02:45:02 <Pipian> (Phocomelia?)
02:45:17 <Pipian> You know
02:45:19 <Pipian> I was going to say
02:45:31 <Pipian> "You know Sam, what I wish existed?
02:45:35 <Pipian> "A Noir lunch box.
02:45:40 <Pipian> "I'd be the coolest kid in school.
02:45:49 <Puyopuyo> I know!
02:47:12 <nathanbp> I was just thinking that too
02:48:44 <Pipian> But you don't go to school nathan
02:49:05 <Pipian> If you went to grad school
02:49:20 <Pipian> you'd understand what sort of cachet Noir lunch boxes really have
02:51:14 <nathanbp> ....
02:51:22 <nathanbp> yes but then I'd be in grad school
02:51:44 <Pipian> Well yes.
03:03:02 <Puyopuyo> I think everyone loses.
03:17:54 <Puyopuyo> What the hell Rizon.

03:19:33 <Puyopuyo> 2 dollars for the first five discs of Pumpkin Scissors...
03:19:35 <Puyopuyo> AND NO DISC 6.
03:20:17 <Puyopuyo> Oh, awesome. Same problem with Red Garden.
03:26:13 <nathanbp> lol
03:27:19 <Puyopuyo> "We'll sell you 5/6 of the series at great discount, but we're sold out of the last volume!"
03:29:35 <Puyopuyo> http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/07/us/07pharmacies.html <- What a world we live in. Guess making a House joke would be inappropriate.
03:30:34 <Pipian> At least the thieves don't have lupus.
03:30:51 <Puyopuyo> Lupus treatment isn't addictive.
03:31:02 <Puyopuyo> Unlike say, cancer, where you keep coming back for more!
03:31:10 <Puyopuyo> (Okay, that was tasteless, even for me.)
03:31:18 <Puyopuyo> (I blame Wilson)
03:41:21 <Puyopuyo> Wow. I killed my internet by torrenting. Must've hit the bandwidth cap.

04:07:39 <Puyopuyo> ...also, no greet comment? I am sad.
04:08:16 <Pipian> No, that got removed during the refactor
04:08:20 <Pipian> It will probably return though!
04:08:28 <Puyopuyo> Oh good.
04:13:59 <Puyopuyo> Oy, Shigofumi for 30?
04:14:13 <nathanbp> Shigofumi wasn't that good
04:14:43 <Puyopuyo> Exactly.
04:14:44 <nathanbp> Jenn you should agree with me about Ian cosplaying
04:14:50 <Puyopuyo> Oh god no.
04:14:52 <gadgetgrl> what?
04:15:13 <nathanbp> I said he should cosplay the main character of Wandering Son
04:15:40 <Puyopuyo> Too many traps!
04:16:47 <Pipian> Well that's just it
04:17:06 <Pipian> Jenn would have to be the guy who wants to be a girl
04:17:17 <nathanbp> that doesn't work
04:17:22 <Pipian> Yes it does.
04:17:28 <Pipian> Nadeshiko?
04:17:43 <nathanbp> that was in girl's clothing
04:18:28 <Pipian> Right.  I'm pretty sure the guy who wants to be a girl is in girl's clothing part of the time too??
04:20:04 <nathanbp> ok, more accurately, Nadeshiko was recognizable
04:21:04 <Puyopuyo> Oh come no. Wandering Son isn't recognizable regardless.
04:21:08 <Pipian> Exactly
04:21:20 <Puyopuyo> It honestly doesn't matter either way.
04:21:23 <Pipian> I was going to say that I'm pretty sure that that would have no impact on whether or not Jenn should be the lead.
04:23:26 <gadgetgrl> i'd have to see the anime...which i have sitting on my desktop...stupid school and such getting in the way :p
04:24:07 <Pipian> You sound like me
04:26:13 <nathanbp> pretty sure to have a chance of being recognized you have to be recognizable as being crossdressed
04:26:32 <Pipian> I am pretty sure that wouldn't really matter!
04:26:44 <Pipian> (It would not be recognized regardless)
04:36:55 <nathanbp> true
04:37:28 <nathanbp> I'd say we've done less recognizable things but I can't think what
04:38:47 <Puyopuyo> ...what have you done for the last few years?
04:38:56 <Puyopuyo> Shugo Chara, which was recognized. Chrno Crusade, very recognized...
04:39:10 <Puyopuyo> Ouran, very recognized (and yet I'm invisible...damn light)
04:40:26 <nathanbp> bakemonogatari, recognized
04:40:57 <Pipian> And that's all of them
04:40:59 <Pipian> So there you go
04:48:40 <gadgetgrl> can you link me to a typical picture or screenshot?
04:48:42 <Puyopuyo> ....wow. Pumpkin Scissors DVD 6, done by Funimation...
04:48:46 <Puyopuyo> 100 bucks.
04:49:11 <Puyopuyo> Guess that's one way to convince customers to buy your thinpacks/box sets.
04:49:56 <nathanbp> WHAT? $100?
04:50:03 <Puyopuyo> One seller.
04:50:09 <Puyopuyo> Let's see what Ebay says.
04:50:12 <Puyopuyo> 45 dollars.
04:50:14 <Pipian> gadgetgrl: http://gargarstegosaurus.wordpress.com/2010/09/27/hourou-musuko-to-get-anime/
04:50:20 <Pipian> I hope you find those characters identifiable!
04:50:38 <nathanbp> that would be the screen shot to use
04:50:47 <Puyopuyo> Nathan: It's completely out of print.
04:50:58 <nathanbp> ah
04:53:56 <nathanbp> I dunno why they even do single dvds for some of these series
04:55:18 <gadgetgrl> you'd really have to stick together and get the details spot on
04:55:32 <gadgetgrl> the girl would be the only trigger, and the guy would be the add-on
04:55:51 <Pipian> So the girl in the front is a guy
04:55:54 <Pipian> And the guy in the back is a girl
04:55:56 <Pipian> Just so you know
04:56:23 <Puyopuyo> Ah, I see what the problem is.
04:56:30 <Puyopuyo> ADV released volumes 1-5...and then died.
04:56:52 <Puyopuyo> Funimation picked it up and just shoved the ADV episodes into "part" packs, so 60 bucks for a case containing DVDs 1 and 2.
04:57:22 <Puyopuyo> Fans got upset and angry. Funimation did a VERY, VERY limited release of DVD 6.

Funimation acquired those three anime from ADV when five volumes of each had already been released. Funimation released the sixth volume of each in very limited quantities to Right Stuf.

04:59:43 <Puyopuyo> *RARE.
05:03:15 <Puyopuyo> ...can't justify it to myself.
05:03:17 * Puyopuyo closes window.
05:14:44 <Puyopuyo> ....this is depressing:
05:14:45 <Puyopuyo> Garden of Sinners Complete Blu-Ray Box (S) (Import)
05:14:51 <Puyopuyo> Quantity Remaining: 0
05:14:51 <Puyopuyo> SOLD OUT
05:15:31 <Puyopuyo> I hope the quality honestly isn't as bad as we've seen.
05:17:22 <nathanbp> is that the Kara no Kyoukai?
05:17:29 <Puyopuyo> Yup
05:32:51 <Pipian> Consumers are stupid
05:51:21 <Pipian> Also
05:51:23 <Pipian> they don't really care
05:51:30 <Pipian> In short

06:14:05 <gadgetgrl> i just read  the rss feed so it's not as bad
06:14:48 <Puyopuyo> I blame Jenn.
06:14:56 <gadgetgrl> gah... i'm tempted to pre-order the senjougahara plushie x.x
06:18:57 <Puyopuyo> Does it come with scissors inside?
06:19:04 <Puyopuyo> Or better yet, a stapler?
06:30:32 <Pipian> Yesssssss
06:30:46 <Pipian> L21 Cherubi takes out L34 Quagsire
06:30:52 <Pipian> x4 weakness is great
06:33:12 <Pipian> I mean it's weak to absolutely everything but it's still better than having one more physical attacker on a team of physical attackers
06:33:17 <Pipian> Goodbye Meditite!
06:41:35 <nathanbp> Yay done reading Inuyasha manga
06:48:46 <nathanbp> sleep time...

08:25:26 <Gadget_sleep> night!
16:01:18 <Pipian-Lab> Oh hey
16:01:25 <Pipian-Lab> Apparently Raikou via WiFi
16:01:44 <Pipian-Lab> Guess I don't need that extra one after all!
16:03:00 <Puyopuyo> ...?
16:03:01 <Puyopuyo> What?
16:03:09 <Pipian-Lab> This is what I just heard
16:03:24 <Pipian-Lab> Apparently the shinies are being given out over WiFi Mystery Gift now??
16:03:52 <Puyopuyo> ...apparently.
16:03:56 <Puyopuyo> And they're the same as the Gamestop ones.
16:03:59 <Pipian-Lab> Right
16:04:07 <Pipian-Lab> Which is good since I missed out on Raikou the first time around
16:06:05 <Pipian-Lab> (Thought it was just going to be a Europe thing)
16:06:21 <Puyopuyo> I thought so too.
16:06:24 <Puyopuyo> Guess it's a world thing.
16:07:14 <Pipian-Lab> Only diff is the ID number
16:07:25 <Puyopuyo> And OT
16:07:31 <Pipian-Lab> Well yeah
16:08:28 <Puyopuyo> So did YOU get a Pikachu?
16:09:54 <Pipian-Lab> Of course not.
16:10:01 <Pipian-Lab> No Toys R Us anywhere near me
16:10:04 <Pipian-Lab> Also less interesting
16:10:15 <Puyopuyo> True.
16:10:17 <Puyopuyo> But trade-fodder.
16:10:22 <Pipian-Lab> Eh I guess
16:10:23 <Pipian-Lab> But yeah
16:10:33 <Pipian-Lab> No Toys R Us close enough for me to get to at any rate
16:13:04 <Puyopuyo> Fair enough
16:14:58 <gadgetgrl> oh man, gossip girl is fliming down the street!
16:15:13 <Pipian-Lab> I don't even know what that is
16:15:31 <gadgetgrl> don't expect you too
16:15:46 <Puyopuyo> Are you going to sneak into the footage?
16:15:47 <gadgetgrl> just going to be excited to try and spot it when it airs now :)
