Also one thing I don’t get about peoples reaction to Uma Musume. Is that anime has had cat girls for years. Like probably for at least the last 15 years that have been people with cat ears/tails (and to a lesser amount dogs and rabbits) who tend to at least somewhat act like that animal and no one bats an eye for the most part. Its just another slightly animal person.

This game uses horses for the exact same concept and suddenly everyone is “WTF” “THIS IS TOO MUCH” and other such things. What hell is this reaction?

I kinda like the idea behind the whole horsegirl racetrack thing, Uma Musume - Pretty Derby

But its neat that the horse girls are actually doing horse related things. Its basically like track and field but super themed.I just think the part of them also being idols (unless that was just a cutsey thing for the commercial) is a bit extra.

Odds are it will be a little more eechi than I actually want it to be, but I like the idea of neko, type animal people actually doing things super related to whatever animal they have the ears and acting like them. I’d consider getting it.

whats up with themes that say Index to take you to the standard form of the page? Thats not a freaking index!

if me and my friends ever start I second ironclaw campaign I really want to record it. Recorded rpg sessions are super fun for everyone.

“One, not all art is political. Art can exist for the sole purpose of being aesthetically pleasing to look at, listen to, or experience.”

Buddy, hate to break it to you, but that’s political.

okay but catch this

i put a screenshot of what you said into MS paint and made it different sizes. fucking checkmate

as an artist the idea that everything I make is inherently politcal makes me so angry I have to go to sleep

whats the male equivelent of DoA extreme volleyball?

If I could buy a game that shows dudes the same way I’d feel a bit better about wanting DoA

who the fuck is buying the mario and sonic olympic games 

is there just like one guy buying all of the copies each and every year because i never see anybody talk about them. nobody cares about these games why does nintendo keep making them

They’re actually pretty fun minigame collections.

But the reason Sega keeps making them is because Sega has had an exclusive deal with the olympics to make games. Both a sonic one and a real olympics one (which isn’t nearly as fun). So they’re basically just getting the most out of their deal.

Instead of giving zelda a down throw kill combo, perhaps you should have gave her zoning tools that work?

Just a thought.

well, I wouldn’t hope for that. SU is a CN Studios show, so if it gets cancelled on CN, its done. There’s not really any reason it would ever be sold or picked up by another network

As frustrating as CN’s scheduling can be, its really the more preferable network for SU, imo. Their shows have a pretty good budget and a lot more freedom than most other cartoon networks allow (pretty much every other network is scrip-based, not storyboard-based). 

As for scheduling, Disney took 4 years to air 2 seasons of Gravity Falls and it had enormous hiatuses, with an entire year break between seasons 1 and 2, and anywhere from 2 weeks to 3-4 months between episodes. Nickelodeon doesn’t have a great track record either, if you look at how they treated Legend of Korra

Streaming services tend to not have a lot of money to produce shows so their quality tends to be lower than CN’s shows or have much fewer episodes (and thus longer hiatuses) to compensate for a smaller budget. They also tend to have inconsistent release schedules. Look at Bee & Puppycat or Bravest Warriors (whose last reason ended in 2014 and the newest season won’t start until later this year). Even a service like Netflix tends to dump an entire season at once and then its a year (at least) until the next one).

I dunno. As much as I don’t like CN’s hiatuses and scheduling patterns, I feel like the alternatives are much worse and even if the scheduling was better elsewhere, I definitely wouldn’t want to trade what SU is able to be on CN for a consistent schedule (since I probably wouldn’t like the show much anymore).

I would say dumping the entire season at once is actually netflix’s STRENGTHS. They talk about that a lot in the Bojack interview on the Nerdist Podcast. How knowing a show is going to be binge watched and also knowing that no matter what the episodes will be watched in order was a huge benefit that allowed them to write differently than they normally would.

Given that SU is a very slow and deliberately paced show I’ think it would actually benefit a lot from that if it could. (though that’s entirely hypothetical)
