Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?

Well the majority of the fanbase of anything with an anime adaptation doesn't read the source material, so when you put it that way of course Yuki and Haruhi take the lead.

Also Mikuru being a moeblob, fake or not, is generic in today's anime world, even if she may have (barely) predated the trend.

Oh, yeah, I don't deny either of those points. I really didn't care for Mikuru for the longest time myself.

But is she willfully being fake and parodying the cliche, Boyd, with the author fully aware of and manipulating it?
Also, I miss the days when you proclaimed that Haruhi sounded really interesting and awesome :c

Gaaaaaaah, the later books! *flails* Haven't read those in so long. Gonna wait for book ten to come out and then read the whole series through.

this is probably the main reason mikuru/kyon is the least poplar

which is a shame since imo mikuru's character is fairly well developed; much more than what you could expect from a moeblob nowadays

I can't wait for book ten either. :U I forget if I own all of the current English volumes or not; my book collection is spread over three rooms in the house, and I can't tell anymore.

We probably did have an official Haruhi topic at some point, but we could totally have a new, even more officialer one.

Looks like I'm probably up to date and will need to pre-order nine.

I've started to grab up all the Haruhi books, and all the spin-offs and the anime. I should have gotten these things ages ago :U

Doesn't matter Satty, it's all about appearances. Also as Draco said, most people are already going to get attached to Yuki or Haruhi by the time they learn Mikuru's character.

Anyway Satty, I too miss the days when people would talk about anime and I would know what the [radio edit] they were talking about

Finishing the 2nd season of the anime and the Disappearance movie are things I intend to do eventually, as much as it sickens me to watch something mainstream here while nobody watches what I like >:C so. Anyway the sci-fi mystery stuff is still interesting but for the slice of life parts I have elsewhere to go and other things to do.

Maybe you should watch more than one anime a season and watch stuff people can talk about *coughhaganaicough*

You just have to be like Peypal and tell me to watch something, and then complain at me until I do it.

If you only watch really short series, like me, you get through more of them, and thus are more likely to know what people are talking about.

What'd Draco say? I'm too busy reading 50+ hour epic length visual novels.

just ploughed through a couple of the Touhou manga, namely Wild and Horned Hermit and Silent Sinner in Blue. As much as is translated, anyway. xP

stop hating on my Haganai, I talk to Jackal about that anyway

Also I'm not interested in your vivid butts, and everyone here prefers slice of life stuff anyway, nobody likes punching, I remember when Fate/Zero was airing everyone else was all "SO GUYS HOW'S THIS SLICE OF LIFE ROMANCE THING?"

the one time in recent memory where something that had combat and such was popular here (Accel World and SAO) they were both terrible

also also, the current season sucks

But the current season has Mazinbutts and Doki Doki Precure.

And Gyrozetter and JoJo's are still airing.

Well I wasn't counting Gyrozetter and JoJo's since they were part of the last season and also I don't feel like watching them (I don't like getting into long things, otherwise JoJo's would be great)

also I don't care about your lolis or your butts, get out

yeah, that's right, the things you like are terribly uninteresting to me

Take that asshole, how's it feel
