AtlanteanTroll's Additional Tirade @ Atrocious Threads Random Banter #207

[Qwertystop]

Ah, but the grad caps are fun! (Congrats.)

Here's a picture, though I lost my hat after the whole throw-it-in-the-air thing. That thing I'm holding is the place you put your diploma (and the thing they actually handed out ceremonially) - they didn't actually put them in, you had to go get them after.

Spoiler: My first picture of myself on these forums. Also anywhere else online, as far as I'm aware.

Flawed logic, I think, as the one shot contest was global. But regardless of that, does it really? I never bothered renewing my subscription when Jump went online. Now I just buy Tankoban.

Yes, they do actually care about the west as well. It's really cool. We're part of why Assassination Classroom got an english release at all.

Much silliness you have to put in the diploma yourself. You're a high school graduate, not a rocket scientist. What do they want from you, work?

Huh. Would have thought it's sales in Japan would be enough... I just really want Shaman King Flowers in English.

Assassination Classroom is the last series anyone expected to get taken over to the states, regardless of popularity. It's about a teacher teaching students how to kill him, and prominently features guns and knives in a school environment.

What I'm saying is that if the crazy people who make a big fuss out of stuff saw this, they'd make a REALLY big fuss out of this.

[AtlanteanTroll]

I know it, I'm just not all to surprised.

[LaZodiac]

I know it, I'm just not all to surprised.

Also it'd be really tough to translate because of all the puns.

But yeah, noted. I'm very surprised myself. Anyway, the new series by the mangaka who did Barrage is...I forget the title, but it's a super hero academy series.

i've watched online translators have so much difficulty with those puns i felt so bad for them

Here's hoping he plays the right cliches. Do we have a name or any other info yet?

[Solse]

Get on Twitter and start a #hashtag.

[Feytalist]

So there will be drinking tonight...

Memo to self - do not watch good horror movies just before going to bed. The nightmares aren't worth it.

But that's the only logical time to watch good horror movies. Otherwise what's the point

[LaZodiac]

We have a title I just forget it. Just found it though. It's called "Boku no Hero Academia"

[Asta Kask]

Boku? Is that "hijinks" in Japanese?

[HalfTangible]

Can we just take youtube out back and shoot it before google does anything else to it... this is starting to hurt just to watch.

It's bad enough that every playlist I have now has autoplay on by default (and I can't change it at all), but now I have no way to get into my favorites list? ffs youtube, get your head out of your ass... I should not be looking for 'youtube, but less sucky'

[LaZodiac]

Boku? Is that "hijinks" in Japanese?

No, you goof. Boku no Hero Academia means "My Hero Academia"

At least as far as I've heard.

You can turn autoplay off.

[AtlanteanTroll]

That should be correct. "Boku" is a masculine form of "I" in Japanese.

[HalfTangible]

You can turn autoplay off.

Yes but how do you stop it from turning back on every time you switch videos after longer than 5 minutes?

[LaZodiac]

That...it should only turn back on if you leave the playlist.

I think "Hero Academia Hinjinks" would have been a much better title.

[LaZodiac]

I think "Hero Academia Hinjinks" would have been a much better title.

Well maybe that's what it'll be dubbed as. Anyway, it's not a gag series, so there won't be much hjinks that you're thinking of. From what we know of the short description of the series, it's..."The story is set in the modern day, except people with special powers have become commonplace throughout the world. A boy named Izuku Midoriya has no powers, but he still dreams."

[AtlanteanTroll]

So Sky High, the manga?

[Asta Kask]

Found two bird legs on the floor this morning. I guess that answers what my cat was munching on last night.

[LaZodiac]

So Sky High, the manga?

...basically yes, but I don't remember that movie enough to say for sure. It's about a hero school, so I suppose.

Awe, he gave you left overs.

[enderlord99]

Sky High... PS238... There are plenty of thingidoodles* with the premise of "superhero school." It almost has become overdone at this point! Not quite, though.

*Firefox's spell-check suggested "bloodletting."

[Asta Kask]

Watching Batman Returns. It suffers from, among other things, the problem of convincing us that Michelle Pfeiffer is unattractive. Buffy had a similar problem with Alysson Hannigan.

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

Did PS238 also star a character with no powers in said superhero school, though?

Also, the Hell, Firefox.

[LaZodiac]

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

I don't see anything wrong with that though. So long as it's presented well, and I know it will because the two other serialized series he's made are REALLY good. We just...need more attention.

[enderlord99]

Did PS238 also star a character with no powers in said superhero school, though?

Yes. His parents were two of the most powerful superheroes (official term: "metahumans") of all time, and basically strong-armed the school's management into accepting him, and listing his powers as "pending." He never gains powers, but he does gain a duplicate, and the duplicate gains powers.

Read the strip. Seriously. It's over here.
