I'm not #16, but I agree with him. It's a pretty lame series, imho.

Mileage will vary, though.

>>206319

1. ...Hopefully you'll learn to relax about it, since you seem to already know that there really isn't a hidden expectation for "something or other" from women re: them being clothed in your general vicinity.
2. It ain't called la petite mort for nothin'.

>>206317
How did I know that as soon as someone didn't agree with your opinion, they'd be called a troll?

>>206324
Because the opinion in >>206316 was presented in a way guaranteed to insult anyone who disagreed with it?

>>206325

So you do not think that a series that involves that high of a number of instances where someone "falls" face-first into someone's crotch, boobs, or other sexually suggestive position ALONE is somewhat insulting to a persons intelligence? That we are supposed to overlook the fact that the plot is embarrassingly far-stretched from day 1, the girls all have perfectly type-casted personalities, almost all of them are in some way attracted to the main character, who is (stereotypically) nerdy, clumsy, awkward, submissive, and a doormat?

REALLY?
Because if you REALLY believe that a show like that could have mass appeal to an audience who prefers an intelligent, well written plot (or at least something that makes you think JUST A LITTLE), ...then I'll relent that for ya.

>>206326

>>So you don't think it's REALLY bad?

That's not what >>206325 said.
What he said was that it's not that surprising to be called a troll if you insult someone else's taste.
And I agree with him, the fact that LH doesn't sound like my cup of tea at all has nothing to do with that.

>>206326

You described Love Hina pretty well, but how exactly is that insulting to anyone's intelligence? It's just a lighthearted comedy. It's silly and funny, and has a lot of fanservice.

Insulting to one's intelligence, IMHO, is more like the dubbed version of Ghost in the Shell. The dialogue was rewritten to explain exactly what is going on, assuming the viewer was too stupid to figure it out from simply watching. I find that sort of thing to be terribly annoying. Granted, Love Hina isn't deep or thought provoking--but that's no different than most anime, manga, western comics, or TV in general.

The Love Hina anime is pretty horrible. The manga, however, is a lot nicer. As is usually the case. It's pretty over the top most of the time, but fun.

>>206326, >>206327

Exactly. What I think about Love Hina is immaterial. Your point was that you were called a troll because you disagreed with someone's opinion, which isn't true. You were called a troll because you voiced your opinion as an ad hominem attack.

Thanks, comrade--I just have to set up a Pixiv account, and I'll be set.

In other news, a new t-shirt from J-List for us Yomi fans:

Since we were talking on the other thread about how Yomi is only deliciously cubby in fanart.

This artist has a bunch of new Yomi crossover pics on Pixiv:

Psh... I never found Azumanga Daioh to be exactly gut-busting-hilarious.

>>205968
I'd have sex with that, only as long as it signs a contract that makes them leave the head on.

>>205982
You do realize it probably has a penis, right?

>>206289
The contract clearly states that, and I quote, "the penis shall be tucked in at all times, like in Silence of the Lambs".

>>206289

This only makes mine harder.

To be honest, Koyomi Mizuhara isn't a real woman, she's some dude's idea of a woman, right? She doesn't have a life--even her "official" existence is only in the space of a few tankobon and a few hours of screen time. So if it's Yomi (or any other anime character) specifically you want to get off with, I don't see the problem with getting off with a dollers.

vc: hard to believe, but it was shame

Hey, does anyone have the edit of this page that's been coloured and yotsuba's attack manifests a blinding gold light?

>>206334

Wallaby.

Really? Isn't it that other comic, the predecessor to Yotsuba?

Before Azumanga came out, Azuma did a number of strips to be included with the DVDs of Pioneer shows like Tenchi Muyo, Pretty Sammy and Battle Athletes.

>>206294
You mean the TryTryTry ?

>>206300
Yeah, that's the name.

>>206300
It still blows my mind that Yotsuba was actually conceived before Azumanga.

>>206308
It blows my mind that you were conceived at all.

>>206309
Should have taken the morning pill, then, Mom!

>>206308

Seconded; I too was taken by surprise when I learned of the existence of Try! Try! Try! and subsequently of the fact that Yotsuba Koiwai, as a character, was older than the girls of Azumanga Daioh!

On a similar tangent, before I learned of the existence of Try! Try! Try!, I always thought that Yotsuba was a composite expy of characters from Azumanga Daioh, specifically Chiyo's cheerful, positive demeanor and (retooled) appearance, Tomo's genki girly-ness, and Osaka's absent-mindedness.

>>206292
Hey, I never saw that before, is it from Azumanga Recycle perhaps? (I don't have that book)

I did a quick Google but found this instead (source: http://blog-soth.blogspot.com/2010/02/to-heart-merchandise.html )

>>206159
Maybe he has a rockin' dick?

That's pretty awesome. In all the years I've been here I don't anyone has showed themselves doing any /azu/ related cosplay. If you're going to be at AX this year maybe we can team up - I'll be a half-black/spic Nyamo half nakid ;)

Oh,mein Gott........

You get points for actually wearing it.

Well done.

And, just in case some of you absolutely need to see it on a woman...

No offense man, but if I were you I'd consider getting a different haircut. ANY other kind.

>>206191
He should get one like SoDa.

>>206187
oh shit, is that pot plant the trick or treat buckets McDonald's use to give out during Halloween?

>>206201
That doesn't look like a pot plant to me.

...Is she reading the Bible?

>>206240
If she's anything like Yukari, it's probably a Bible like this one

>>206091

My goodness... I want that sweater.

>>206273
Wait, you mean you're not supposed to molest your daughter?
Shit, who else knew about this?

>>206279

Don't pretend like anyone at /azu/ has managed to reproduce.

>>206281
.... did Sakaki eat Kaorin....?

>>206282
In the thumbnail it looks at first glance like Chiyo's head and eye is a tit and nipple

Back in the dorm I was hoping someone would pass out some Chick tracts so I'd have an excuse to hand out a few of these.

>>206284
There used to be a website that had "Anti Chick Tracts" that were actually full of educational information (like where that Christian fish symbol originated, or why Christmas falls on December 25th, etc.) but I can't seem to find it anymore.

I once did a paper on Chick's Islam tracts.
The guy's published three, each with a mutually-exclusive secret origin for Islam.

>>206285>>206286
That reminds me of the time when people were editing the Resist comics
http://www.resist.com/CARTOON%20GALLERY/CartoonIndex.htm

lol racism

>>206105
It kind of gives all those doujins with him a whole new perspective.

>>206097, >>206107, >>206108
For what it's worth, I'd initially translated it literally too until I decided to look up the phrase and discovered the idiom.

>>206105

I hope not. Jumbo is a petty manchild, and I'd hate to think of Azuma being that way.

>>206047

...that got me thinking about this team-up (and trying to write dialogue for it).

Allowing a five-year-old to drive a '57 DeSoto along America's highways and byways is exactly the kind of 'damn irresponsible idea that Max would heartily endorse...

But word to the wise, Yots, never eat ANYTHING you find left in that car!

>>206132
Takes one to know one.

>>206172

>>206177
On the contrary. Nothing would please me more than knowing Azuma, a manchild, created two of the greatest manga series this generation.
Gives me hope in life, yet.

I didn't realize the chapter title was "Yotsuba & Jumbo" until now. It seems slightly odd to me, for some inexplicable reason.

request:
can somebody upload a translated copy of ch 63 for me please?
thank you in advance

>>206298

Yotsba & Vikings!
http://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=437655

Last one.

>>206004
That's what Koiwai gets for letting her watch Austin Powers.

1.
Yotsuba: "Daddy, what's yandere?"

2.
Koiwai: "It's when Yanda gets all dere-dere." (lovey-dovey).
3.
Yotsuba: "......"
4.
Yotsuba: "AHHHH!! AHHHHH!!"
Yanda: "Yotsuba~♪"

>>206287

And what's today's fluid, Vic?

>>206291
It's some sewage straight from The Dave Matthews Band tour bus. Hope nobody else crashes into it.

>>206207
Kind of like AzuDai itself.

>>206209

One of the reasons why I liked the comic better than the show. The show meandered too much, but the comic was spot on with its timing.

>>206186
And apparently, child restraint laws in Japan are pretty lax.

>>206246
Actually, I always thought it was kind of a neat little detail that Koiwai (Jumbo? It's his car after all...) has this little device so the shoulder strap will sit in the right position for a kid Yotsuba's age.

>>206246
Well, child abductions are still common in Japan right now.
>>206247
I've always pictured Koiwai having one of those kid-leashes to put on Yotsuba. I use to see those often as a kid myself. Do Social Services look down that now or what?

>>206267
I think almost everyone has always looked down on them. On the rare occasions I've seen someone actually using one on their kid, they always get plenty of confused or nasty stares.

>>206271
They're always been unbelievably white-trash, but I don't think I've seen one in maybe... 10 years?

>>206247
>>206267
It's not just that she's riding without a seatbelt here while the vehicle is moving (no one else is, either), but that she's also sitting in the front passenger seat.

At her age, I was legally required (under NY state law) to be secured in a booster seat in the back until I was about 8, and even then I still couldn't sit up front until I was 13.

Even if it's Jumbo's car, it shouldn't be his authority that counts, but that of the law; but apparently even that is pretty relaxed in Japan (if Azuma's depiction is to be heretofore believed).

>>206277
Weird, I grew up riding in the front seat from the time I no longer needed a special baby car seat (assuming there were no other adults in the car since they always got shotgun).

And just because she's twised around doesn't mean her seatbelt isn't fastened. Kids are great at getting into all kinds of positions while buckled in. I remember one time when I was little I managed to completely change clothes in the back seat of a moving car, all without undoing my seat belt.

>>206277
That's insane! In California, I guess you have to be in a booster seat till a certain age or weight, but it's not enforced at all. I never had to sit in one since I was four (maybe three. Was pretty young when I enrolled into kindergarten), same with my sister's kids.
Guess Californians are expendable ;)

>>206196
Not everyone has a caterpillar fetish, Mark.

>>206195
It's a lot less self deprecating than the Kimura self insert.

>>206198
At least Kimura was living honestly.
Jumbo has to hide his jumbo tail behind his legs and play the nice guy role.
We all know what happens to nice guys.

>>206194

>have spent their entire lives rejecting the neckbeard populace of /azu/.

rejecting who again? Jumbo's only conversation with Asagi so far was "Takeshi Takeda, i'm fine with not wearing clothes"

>>206202

Nevermind, I think I stopped caring.... like I've said before, with otaku running rampant, NO ONE is safe from being yaoi/yuri in some form or another.

I still like Sakaki...

>>206194

that's a problem with /azu/, not yotsubato

which is probably what you meant, but whatev. i point out the obivous at times.

>>206203
Are you implying people from the /azu/ crowd don't have any initiative on their own ?

>>206208
are you really expecting a "no" as an answer? i mean, do you really have to ask?

>>206210
Well we already estabilished that azulurkers vary significantly when it comes to age, nationality and residence. I'd expect there'd be at least some deviation from the animu loser stereotype.
