As a female, I shall reveal the Secret of the Girl's Locker Room: We do not grope each other. On rare occasions we might lightly compliment each other if we notice out of the corner of our eyes, but we don't make a big deal and do not stare. If the group is close, such as in a class or on a team, we might ask the other girls questions, just like I assume boys and men occasionally do. When young girls are just starting to develop, yeah, they'll sometimes talk and visually compare until it's no longer a new topic and then we just don't notice, but there is still no physical contact. Unless someone specifically asks for assistance with, like, a back zipper or something, *there is absolutely no touching.* (An obvious exception would be for medical assistance.) I think there was only one time I remember someone breaking this unspoken rule, and they were immediately harshly corrected by everyone else in the entire locker room and warned that if it was repeated they were no longer welcome. (It was in 8th grade or something so we couldn't ban her, but we warned that if she crossed someone's personal boundaries again we'd all refuse to change with her and report her to the coach and principal.)
is there at least the shunning of the forcing of straight people to be lesbians by lesbians. please say there is. i must know that those people will suffer. :)
"But i like boys and sex" apparently little miss perfect has never herd the word bisexual. I also like the rational that she cant be a lesbian because she enjoys sex
@@wcthesecret no it's not. Yuri Romance only comes out ever so outfit. Ecchi where girls feel each other up doesn't count. And a there can't be an oversaturation of Yuri because nobody ever says there's an oversaturation of hetero romance
+lulu1997master you know what's the funniest thing about Eiken?it's the fact that Bryce Papenbrook voiced the main lead back when he was just "Bob Papenbrook's son" (before he started to be casted as the main lead of every single anime dub these days. )...and he was just a teenager when he did Eiken... I hope Sage brings this up in the review,it would be funny.
+lulu1997master To me whats strange about it is that he did a pesdo cross over with jesuotaku when she was around about Eiken, so to me its great because I get a nice comparison. I always like comparing their styles because they tend to cross or complement each other in terms of subjects and opinions, like for the Grave of the fireflies review, Sages opinions are sorta of a rebuttal to Jesu's one.
A serious point in a parody video: actually, responding to a rape threat by telling the aggressor that you will fight instead of giving any other answer is a very good idea. Most sources will tell you that interviewed rapists say that they would pick the person who wouldn't fight back and when they encountered resistance, they would eventually give up and run away. So, yes, come at me bro is actually a better strategy.
Makes me think of this story that had the part of her brain responsible for fear calcified so she was unable to feel fear. One time she got threatened with a knife in an alley by a would be mugger, and her response was basically "Try it bitch, I'll kick your ass." The dude got so freaked out he ran away.
1:00 "Central Park Media had literally no fucks to give" Being a native New Yorker, having met staff from CPM, and having been to Big Apple Anime Fest in 2003, I can confirm this statement: Central Park Media, Raijin Comics and Tokyo Pop gave no fucks whatsoever. That's probably why they were able to get Mitsubishi to foot the majority of the bill for BAAF 03 in the guise of promotion via Initial D merchandising, including the failed Initial D card game. Yes...there was an Initial D card game. And it was awful. That aside, BAAF was a big reason why NYC didn't have an anime convention for a very long time.
The ears... The ears are just so.... Weird... And it doesn't help that characters are already drawn in the classic, akward-looking "big, widely spaced eyes and even bigger foreheads" style. And when you add the bizarre, hyper realistic ears, it's like the steal the scene. There is no plot, there is no characters, there is only EARS.
I'm dead serious. Can't you hear it. It's actually kind of weird really. For some reason a lot of Central Park Media/ 4 kids voice actors were involved in a lot of softcore and hardcore hentai.
He changed his name I think because it's most definitely him. Most of these 4kids voice actors have a pseudonym they tend to use when working in less than savory productions such as this.
It's due to Japan's more conservative views on homosexuality. They're not the worst country about it mind you. Many Japanese people of this generation are actually in support of it.
I've actually spoken with someone who interned at CPM, I've been told that the person in charge had a horrible eye for what was going to be good and skipped over what are now iconic titles for this shit.
Fun Fact: Hiroyuki is voiced by Chris Orbach under the pseudonym Hideo Seaver, who is the son of the late Jerry Orbach. So while Jerry Orbach sang "Be Our Guest" wonderfully as Lumiere, his son sang "HAAAAAA-AAAAAAH!"
Fun fact: The dub actor who plays the teacher is Wayne Grayson, the dub voice actor of Joey Wheeler from the Yu Gi Oh dub. Some actors had to start somewhere...
You say that, but there are a few girls who have enough plastic surgery to be in an accurate live action version of Elkin. Can't link them here of course, but the world record holder for largest artificial breasts looks like a barbie doll with two medicine balls somehow jammed into her tits. Yes, that is accurate, because she looks hideous, especially topless, as her skin is stretched so much she no longer has nipples, and her skin is almost transparent, so you see all of the veins at all times. But hey, she genuinely likes looking like that so at least she's happy. Also she's not the only person in that territory. So... People like that do exist.
I remember this as being the first manga I read completely in Japanese. It was weird but genuinely funny and even touching at parts. The OVA does it no justice. It's been a while but I do remember the teacher drifting back into the main plot a couple times although he does get sidelined later on. The manga ran for quite a few volumes and was popular enough to also get a live-action TV series, which I didn't bother with but saw enough to know it reflected the steamy excesses of 90s Japanese TV drama. What was really good about it was just Hiroya Oku's sense of writing batshit crazy scenarios mixed with cheesecake while still maintaining a good ear for flowing, natural dialogue. Oku has a way, maintained in Gantz, of capturing the rhythms and patterns of a wide variety of people that is difficult to translate well.
We didn't feel each other up in the locker room. But I didn't have much friends to feel me up either, so take it as one loner girl's testament. We just changed and went on our way. The most scandalous thing that happened was a debate about whether the very openingly gay guy was allowed in.
+Matthew Cool You're not wrong, but this show wasn't even done by 4Kids. And Wayne Grayson has worked for pretty much every New York based voice acting agency, not just 4Kids. Were you bringing them up since Joey Wheeler was mentioned?
Just FYI, as far as I've been able to gather it's hardly uncommon for students to hang around town in their uniforms. Along with the fact that it saves time going home, some schools actually have rules about wearing clothes when outside, and if these rules are enforced you could actually get in trouble for dressing casual at a burger joint on the weekend. Fortunately, from what I've heard (and admittedly I haven't heard a ton), even places that have this rule don't really enforce it.
16:30 Look I can only say from my personal experience, but touching other girl chest you're just asking to receive a punch on your face, even when is accidental it can end in a fight. Sometimes friends tease each other, but isn't even more than a weak punch, that many try to not touch the boob more like the side boob, because it can hurt a lot if you miscalculating your strength.
+Dan Menard My friend Devin likes to make us all wanna kill ourselves. Every time we play a horrible shitty game, he goes "Statistically this is someone's favorite"
You probably never played anything out of the "Letzte Schlacht der Elfen"-Series? (well it is completely in german with no available translation anywhere near it... luckly). There is no chance in hell that anyone outside of its creator could like this
"Her spirit animal would be an unsalted wheat thin"..... I completely lost it. Good video as always, Sage. And Eiken? Ohhhh man, I can't WAIT for that one!!!
+RangerJackWalker She's 19, even, according to the dialogue. That's not Lolita, unless in the original Japanese she was somehow an under-aged girl with the body of a young adult.
+Adrian Christopher (CoolAdrian30) I do believe this was among the shows he sent her (in character) to "break her" along with Highschool of the Dead and SOMETHING else, but well... JesuOtaku's out of the review game for a number of reasons from what I recall, so Eiken's kinda free reign?
+CyberSurferXD Were all scared, Cyber, each and every one of us. But if the worst should happen here's a couple of tips that may save your life.* 1. If the review/anime is being watched with a bunch of other people then take careful note of the exits and ignore them during the mad rush to escape the room. Instead focus on other possible means of escape such as windows, hidden maintenance hatches, air vents (if your thin enough, technically I am but if I hit a 90 degree bend then I'm F_CKED), brainwashing a hidden village of Oompa Loompa's to do your evil bidding as well as others I won't list because THEY'RE MY ESCAPE ROUTES DAMNIT MMMMIIIINNNEEEE! 2. I cannot stress this one enough. NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER wear 3d glasses when watching Eiken!!! *sniffle* I've lost too many friends....all named Kenny.....to those viewer crushing breasts of gainaxing Doom. Now admittedly I don't know if the same would happen with those new VR headsets but lets err on the side of caution here, okay? 3. Alibi's. I cannot stress how useful these are if a equipment malfunction needs to happen to preserve what tattered remnants of your sanity (HA!) remain. Though it's better if you have a couple of people to corroborate your story.....then disappear before they can tell their tale. N-not that I've done that.......SHUT UP. *Oh who am I kidding? Were all gonna die!!!
+Iluvrocket I was thinking the same thing when I read the manga. A super long legs and non-existing waists. Thank God Oku Hiroya upgraded his art when he did Gantz.
Anybody else notice after the bike rush to stop her ex from boning(or raping, as there was alcohol being forced to an underage girl) miss wheat thin , the protagonist was wearing roller blades? Huh?!?
When I first watched Berserk at the age of 14 and made it to the Eclipse, I thought that was going to be the single darkest moment an anime would ever show me. I thought that nothing could match that horror show. Then, I saw the first five or so minutes of an episode of Eiken. I was wrong.
I can't say I'm fat or stinky, but I'm a hairy SJW. Will half work for you? (And yeah, this is not a thing that ever happens. The only way I could imagine boob-grabbing would be . . . uh . . . to check for breast cancer? Seriously, what are the typical paper-thin excuses girls use in these anime?)
silvertamagachi Girls do it in real life, too. Mostly because the feel they can get away with molestation. It's like a non-verbal form of consent, but I think it's just weird.
seriously, the full plot of Strange Love is five different mangas meeting at random points. Olive Oil may or may not come from a broken incestuous home, she and (what might be) her brother are very mysterious about it. At one point she becomes and idol, along with a Pompadour guy, in order to make money for her and Wheat thin. The Pompadour guy turns out to be the gay version of her, until he forgets about male wheat thin. hen the story stats following male wheat thin and his nerdy from who has the hots for him; except male wheat thin may not be a male, and refuses to identify its gender. Meanwhile, Olive Oil is going through the stereotypical thing where the agency is trying to keep her and wheat thin separate, and wheat thin is afraid she might hold OO back. And it ends with the two girls running away to Massachusetts to get married. Thats all the last act, the first two are just usual yuri high school stuff.
Steven Brawley "a place in America where people of the same gender are supposed to be able to marry" to paraphrase the fan-translators. Not sure I spelled the State right though.
Hey, Bennett, have you seen the Animation Domination anime parody miniseries? I don't remember the name off the top of my head, but it's actually self-aware and better than most Central Park Media releases, and every episode is under five minutes long.
+Bad Gengar's Bad Gaming The art direction in this is just hideous. The long spindly legs, chins and noses that you could break tungsten with, eyes that are so far apart they're practically on the side of their heads, and as you mentioned, ears that look like some mutant cross between cauliflower and Prince Charles.
+Dkunz Cartoons In the Eiken review as they did a crossover about it before (which is probably part of the reason Bennett would rather do it as Suave than as himself come to think of it, so it doesn't feel redundant).
The girls feeling each other up in the locker room thing is pretty BS. Now, I would definitely stare as discreetly as possible at some of my classmates (some of them were pretty hot, so sue me) but getting caught staring would have been bad, let alone grabbing someone else's boobs.
I'm a girl and yes the boob grab is bs. We never do that. Also the rocker boyfriend reminds me from Toga from Utena ...oh god the next weeks review of that anime (I haven't seen it, I see clips of it)
I laughed so hard when that rockstar started to 'sing' I remember watching this as a kid but thought it was one of the worst hentais ever, realized that it wasn't a hentai. I was cheated.
+JJalaskoski some kind of fetish, I guess? I mean I spotted this right after the fucking chins... who designed this? Its like "see, I finally figured out how to draw certain type of human ear... I have to SHOW TO THE WORLD".
Eiken? Wow, finally something I've seen before. I remember seeing that when I was like 13 and loving it for obvious reasons... next week is gonna be fun.
+TheHeroOfTomorrow Still, no one should ever have to watch that horrid piece of shit!!! And this coming from someone who has watched ALL 3 EPISODES OF BOKU NO PICO!!!!!
I'm surprised that Sage never commented on the shape of the characters' heads. I know how anime proportions tend to go, but those characters looked like acorns with freakishly detailed oversive ears glued to the sides.
I don't know how skinship works in Japan but groping each i other's boobs rarely happens in America. That can be seen as blatant sexual harassment because you know: differing sexualities. thee are all sorts of rules for interaction in a locker room I won't go over them because privacy. But suffice to say groping some one in a locker room will either get you hit or a lawsuit.
Sorry Sage, nothing you can say about the dub cannot make me hate Wayne Grayson. Guy's super hilarious to the point of insanity. Also, I think the reason why CPM covered themselves would be summed up in two words: Traci... Lords. Look that up and you'll see what I mean.
I picked up on the short one being Alison Keith, but I hadn't picked up on Miss Perfect's voice. Yup. That's Sharon Becker, voice of Anthy. Not to say she was ever an especially good actress, but it still makes me a little depressed to see her here.
Not sure how many times this has been answered, but as a girl (whos had a few girlfriends, so not sure if my opinion still counts) no, it is not normal for friends to feel each other up unsolicited like that. If we do, we ask first. Most straight girls that I've met aren't comfortable with locker rooms at all. So I'm calling bullshit. If a girl is feeling up her friend without her consent, she's a shitty fucking friend.
I discovered this by accident, but apparently "Strange Love" is an OVA adaptation of a manga called "HEN", and was apparently written by Oku Hiroya, the creator of Gantz.

"Central Park Media had literally no fucks to give"
Being a native New Yorker, having met staff from CPM, and having been to Big Apple Anime Fest in 2003, I can confirm this statement: Central Park Media, Raijin Comics and Tokyo Pop gave no fucks whatsoever. That's probably why they were able to get Mitsubishi to foot the majority of the bill for BAAF 03 in the guise of promotion via Initial D merchandising, including the failed Initial D card game.

+That One at least they can not backstab you with their nose, but i guess taht only happens in good anime
The dweeb is voiced by Wayne Grayson who is also a popular 4kids voice actor and was the voice of Joey from the original Yu-Gi-Oh series.
You're not serious
I'm dead serious. Can't you hear it. It's actually kind of weird really. For some reason a lot of Central Park Media/ 4 kids voice actors were involved in a lot of softcore and hardcore hentai.
I looked it up and he wan't listed
He changed his name I think because it's most definitely him. Most of these 4kids voice actors have a pseudonym they tend to use when working in less than savory productions such as this.
Ohhhhh
Why does every yuri protagonist act like they've never even heard of homosexuality before?
because they dont want it to exist?
It's due to Japan's more conservative views on homosexuality. They're not the worst country about it mind you. Many Japanese people of this generation are actually in support of it.
This OVA has a lot of meme potential.
TITS-aaaaaaahhh!
I've actually spoken with someone who interned at CPM, I've been told that the person in charge had a horrible eye for what was going to be good and skipped over what are now iconic titles for this shit.

So while Jerry Orbach sang "Be Our Guest" wonderfully as Lumiere, his son sang "HAAAAAA-AAAAAAH!"
this is a curse i had hoped to never see
This is weirder than when I found out the guy who played the woman-punching dipishit in Agent Aika is the same dude who voiced Trent in Daria.
How dare you make me aware of this
Fun fact: The dub actor who plays the teacher is Wayne Grayson, the dub voice actor of Joey Wheeler from the Yu Gi Oh dub. Some actors had to start somewhere...
I mean, really all actors have to start somewhere.
Eiken takes anatomically incorrect bodies in anime to a whole new level. One Piece is nothing compared to Eiken.

You probably never played anything out of the "Letzte Schlacht der Elfen"-Series? (well it is completely in german with no available translation anywhere near it... luckly). There is no chance in hell that anyone outside of its creator could like this
From what I have gathered from manga and anime, the Japanese don't seem to have much of a grasp on homosexuality and bisexuality.
"Her spirit animal would be an unsalted wheat thin"..... I completely lost it. Good video as always, Sage. And Eiken? Ohhhh man, I can't WAIT for that one!!!
3:47 With a body like that, does that even count as a lolita complex?
+RangerJackWalker She's 19, even, according to the dialogue. That's not Lolita, unless in the original Japanese she was somehow an under-aged girl with the body of a young adult.
original they are in highschool, so I am guessing underage. And she probably a freshman, considering she is showing the young one around school.

+JacksonJin It'd be nice to see her come back for a video once in a while, though.
How nostalgic. This was the first "adult" anime I ever bought back on VHS. That cover wasn't much better. Just the lead girl standing in a towel.
This is like the Rob Liefeld of anime
except no superfluous pouches lol!
+Iluvrocket I was thinking the same thing when I read the manga. A super long legs and non-existing waists. Thank God Oku Hiroya upgraded his art when he did Gantz.
That position's already taken by Masami Obari (Voltage Fighter Gowkaizer, Angel Blade, Fists of Fury)

+Turbo Pokey Yeah that was really weird, not sure why they did that lol. Hell in the manga the bike scene never happened.
Very disappointed in the lack of triple H jokes anytime the teacher said "tits-uhhhh"
9:32 THERE IS NO UHHHH AT THE END OF TITS! 9:35 STOP TA-Uhhhhh- Nope, focus!
i have to know, what is up with this anime's depiction of ears?!
+Greg Morgan I know right? Of all the things to make semi realistic, they choose the ears?
Wait, so this is done by the guy that did Gantz? That explains so much of what I've seen here...
+THE WITCHBLADE until it became shit, because it turned out it was pointless and there was never real story behind it.

***** we are talking "50 shades of gray" bull$#*! here sage, with an added twist of acid reflux after a drug binge.
So no girl's ever felt you up in a locker room?
AGrayPhantom I wish, as long as it isn't a fat, stinky, sweaty, and hairy SJW because let's face it people, who wants to be touched by one of them?
MercenaryX21
You.. are... AWESOME! XD
I can't say I'm fat or stinky, but I'm a hairy SJW. Will half work for you? (And yeah, this is not a thing that ever happens. The only way I could imagine boob-grabbing would be . . . uh . . . to check for breast cancer? Seriously, what are the typical paper-thin excuses girls use in these anime?)
silvertamagachi
Girls do it in real life, too. Mostly because the feel they can get away with molestation. It's like a non-verbal form of consent, but I think it's just weird.
Also, WTF is with all of the characters' ears?
Right?! I even felt my own ear to see what is up with them lol
+CamsEyeView It's like they're growing deformed mushrooms where their ears should be. *shudder*
Is it me, or does the Rock Star Boyfriend look eerily similar to Sha Gojyo from Saiyuki
JEEZUS! i can see why people are commenting about the ears!
+Chandler VanFossen (ChanVan) Well, they had to use something to distract from the alienesque faces and the poor voice acting
I know it's petty and really random but that stupid part in her hair is really pissing me off.
Eiken?
*Vietnam flashbacks*
"Come at me bro" best response ever to such a threat
No, no, Sage, no...
Mass Effect 3's ending amount of bullshit.
seriously, the full plot of Strange Love is five different mangas meeting at random points. Olive Oil may or may not come from a broken incestuous home, she and (what might be) her brother are very mysterious about it. At one point she becomes and idol, along with a Pompadour guy, in order to make money for her and Wheat thin. The Pompadour guy turns out to be the gay version of her, until he forgets about male wheat thin. hen the story stats following male wheat thin and his nerdy from who has the hots for him; except male wheat thin may not be a male, and refuses to identify its gender. Meanwhile, Olive Oil is going through the stereotypical thing where the agency is trying to keep her and wheat thin separate, and wheat thin is afraid she might hold OO back. And it ends with the two girls running away to Massachusetts to get married.
Thats all the last act, the first two are just usual yuri high school stuff.
+Camden Tausworthe They got married in Massachusetts?
Steven Brawley "a place in America where people of the same gender are supposed to be able to marry" to paraphrase the fan-translators. Not sure I spelled the State right though.
Hey, Bennett, have you seen the Animation Domination anime parody miniseries? I don't remember the name off the top of my head, but it's actually self-aware and better than most Central Park Media releases, and every episode is under five minutes long.
15:20 That sound effect cracks me up. It sounds like someone throwing spaghetti at a wall.
Was anyone else distracted by the way the ears are drawn in this anime? Or is it just me?
It's definitely not you...I feel the same way too
+Bad Gengar's Bad Gaming The art direction in this is just hideous. The long spindly legs, chins and noses that you could break tungsten with, eyes that are so far apart they're practically on the side of their heads, and as you mentioned, ears that look like some mutant cross between cauliflower and Prince Charles.
+Bad Gengar's Bad Gaming No, it was not just you. Something was funky about those ears.
+Bad Gengar's Bad Gaming Oh thank god I'm not the only one who was weirded out by the ear design.
+Bad Gengar's Bad Gaming same here. The antihelix of the ear on the cover looks like a long arm that's hugging.
It's coming full circle. Bennett you'd better include a jesuotaku reference.
what, where?
+Dkunz Cartoons In the Eiken review as they did a crossover about it before (which is probably part of the reason Bennett would rather do it as Suave than as himself come to think of it, so it doesn't feel redundant).
I miss old Anime Abandon.
Yes! I've been waiting for Eiken, so pumped!
Your thumbnail is the greatest thing ever
You should do Cyborg 009 at some point.
I thought I could never hate a yuri title because of how starved the market is. Jesus that was awful.
@@wcthesecret you're gross
Dyce Averruncus * it’s old thoughts.
oh hell yes, i've been waiting for you to tackle Eiken since this show started
12:33 : dear internet, turn this moment into a meme, thanks.
+SilverVeil I actually veered away from the screen irl
The girls feeling each other up in the locker room thing is pretty BS. Now, I would definitely stare as discreetly as possible at some of my classmates (some of them were pretty hot, so sue me) but getting caught staring would have been bad, let alone grabbing someone else's boobs.
Honestly? Responding to a rape threat with "Come at me bro" is kind of a refreshing twist
Nice to see you back Sage!
Oh my GOD you are going to review Eiken of all anime!
I can´t wait and see that review!
I'm a girl and yes the boob grab is bs. We never do that.
Also the rocker boyfriend reminds me from Toga from Utena
...oh god the next weeks review of that anime (I haven't seen it, I see clips of it)
Well thats what porn is for I guess, thnaks for the info.
Oh....I...CANNOT WAIT!
I paused this and subscribed the moment I saw the Zillion tape behind you. I figured anyone who owns Zillion is probably an upstanding human being.
Women feeling each other up in locker rooms is Asura's Warth ending level of bullshit.
so you're finally gonna buckle down and review eiken. It's been a long time coming.
For a future review, why not check out the animated Highlander film?
Oh boy... the glorious return of suave in a review after being MIA for how long
Sage's faces as his emotions slowly boil within him were the highlights of this episode
I laughed so hard when that rockstar started to 'sing' I remember watching this as a kid but thought it was one of the worst hentais ever, realized that it wasn't a hentai. I was cheated.
It’s a hardcore seinen OVA that’s terrible. Oku’s other anime adaptations have improved since this...thing.
the ears... are so... weirdly drawn
+Hidden Masquerade
They're hideous.
+Hidden Masquerade Thank god for that comment
Sauve! my idol, your reviews are the best, I cant wait to enshrine your next magnum opus
11:08-11:20......Sage this is why I love your channel.
Girls groping each other? BS as far as I've experienced. It... doesn't occur to anyone to do that??? Like??? What for???
I honestly do love the male voice acting and this just for how out of place it is. Every time a guy talks in these clips I can't help but laugh.
Liked for the Dr. Strangelove reference in the description.
I'm easily pleased.
But, it should be _Or: How I learned to stop worrying and hate this anime_
Its not tht guys cant talk sexy, its that most guys try to hard sounding sexy and it comes off stupid and cheesy, fun fact
those ears.... those chins
+Turquoise Wonder Those melon skulls *shudder*.
+Turquoise Wonder obviously the inspo for senpai club lol
I can deal with the giant pointy chins, but what the hell is going on with their ears?
+JJalaskoski some kind of fetish, I guess? I mean I spotted this right after the fucking chins... who designed this? Its like "see, I finally figured out how to draw certain type of human ear... I have to SHOW TO THE WORLD".
those eyes
Poor Gabe... #TeamGabe
Eiken? Wow, finally something I've seen before. I remember seeing that when I was like 13 and loving it for obvious reasons... next week is gonna be fun.
My birthday is next week!! And I get a suave review?! This is FUCKIN awesome!!!!!!!! Thanks Sage! :D
I look forward to the Eiken review!
Ohhh this is gonna be great next week! Would be better if Sage and Suave teamed up with Lance from Fine Game Girls (Bitches).
Great to see you back Sage!
Also next review is "Eiken"..........turn back now Sage......DO IT WHILE YOU STILL HAVE A CHANCE!!!!!!
+Jordan Ogle He's already seen it tho--he's the one who sent it to JesuOtaku.
+TheHeroOfTomorrow Still, no one should ever have to watch that horrid piece of shit!!!
And this coming from someone who has watched ALL 3 EPISODES OF BOKU NO PICO!!!!!
No.....they never go away.....never...it haunts me every day.....THE HORROR
I'm surprised that Sage never commented on the shape of the characters' heads. I know how anime proportions tend to go, but those characters looked like acorns with freakishly detailed oversive ears glued to the sides.
lol Missed you Bennet don't know me but i'm a huge fan keep it up :D
I don't know how skinship works in Japan but groping each i
other's boobs rarely happens in America. That can be seen as blatant sexual harassment because you know: differing sexualities. thee are all sorts of rules for interaction in a locker room I won't go over them because privacy. But suffice to say groping some one in a locker room will either get you hit or a lawsuit.
Sorry Sage, nothing you can say about the dub cannot make me hate Wayne Grayson. Guy's super hilarious to the point of insanity. Also, I think the reason why CPM covered themselves would be summed up in two words: Traci... Lords. Look that up and you'll see what I mean.
This episode was hilarious! Nice job, Sage! xD
Dear god.... Eiken is next.... Sage, are you TRYING to utterly destroy Censor Kaiser?
+Ryuji He'll be fine since no one actually goes topless and in the even they do, it's covered :U
The worst part is that the girl sounds like Anthy.
I picked up on the short one being Alison Keith, but I hadn't picked up on Miss Perfect's voice. Yup. That's Sharon Becker, voice of Anthy. Not to say she was ever an especially good actress, but it still makes me a little depressed to see her here.
gabe is amazing in this review.
+mello joe Gabe is always amazing
K. Charrette i know.
I was just wondering when there would be a Suave episode.. thanks for answering that question.
Great episode!
2:51 Timotei... Timotei... Timoteeeei... Timotei...
Not sure how many times this has been answered, but as a girl (whos had a few girlfriends, so not sure if my opinion still counts) no, it is not normal for friends to feel each other up unsolicited like that. If we do, we ask first. Most straight girls that I've met aren't comfortable with locker rooms at all. So I'm calling bullshit. If a girl is feeling up her friend without her consent, she's a shitty fucking friend.
I discovered this by accident, but apparently "Strange Love" is an OVA adaptation of a manga called "HEN", and was apparently written by Oku Hiroya, the creator of Gantz.
PokeEmblem 692 oh. Whoops.
The guys smooth voice is trying to be Phil Hartman and Bruce Campbell THAT NEVER WORKS TOGETHER
