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?

One of us! One of us! One of us!

Already one of us? Make your presence known:

heart-under-blade Posts: 36,354 Group: Iris Member #2 Joined: March 20, 2005 Gender: Male Country: #0# True Name: Saturos Theme Song: https://youtu.be/mh5vyvMGhqE	so we just finished ep 12 of Penguindrum, spoilers Show is finally starting to get good, as of Himari's little trip into the Akashic Records with badass pink-haired bishie. It's not as sad as I've heard so far... a certain someone's death was so foreshadowed and led up to that I could just accept it as "inevitable fate," which probably ties into the themes of the show. Ringo/Shoma is the most ship. and we flipped over to dub halfway through episode 7, and surprisingly I like almost every dub voice better than the sub voices. The animation is top-tier, love the "magic realism" Also random incest/10 "I will give you my life" all clothes fall off FOR PLOT and really no actual reason

True Name: simplechild	I remember not liking the Penguindrum dub the first time I heard it. I think it was because I couldn't reconcile Kanba's VA with his character and the fact they say "Survival Tactic".

Heck, I've rewatched .hack//SIGN like half a dozen times. It's fun to catch new things in the anime you like. And even if there are new unwatched animes out there, it's nice to go into an anime knowing for certain that you'll enjoy it. Not that I'd just want to rewatch the same stuff forever, it's just a once-in-a-while kind of thing.

Disgusting. >Implying Mcdonalds isn't disgusting in the first place. If one were to go by your logic, then they would be avoiding the food that they enjoy just for the sake of trying new stuff. That's like saying "welp, that was some really great food, time to never go to this restaurant ever again." I have to agree with Satty, Mawaru is getting progressively more fabulous now. I like Kanba's dub voice but hearing "survival tactic" just doesn't resonate with me either. Also just finished watching Ga-Rei Zero and currently watching Legend of the Legendary Heroes. Ridiculous name aside, LotLH is a pretty good medieval fantasy anime so far. It has it's cliches obviously(what fantasy story doesn't?) but it's rather well done.

I like find things that I missed on the first go, or study the structure of the piece, or look for foreshadowing, or relive awesome moments. (I reread books too, and more often, so this is just my general reasons for reading or watching things twice.)

I like trying different dishes, but I also love me some burrito, so I tend to order it often, regardless of the fact that had it be for. Mmm, burrito.

It just makes some of the references even better.

I enjoyed them as well, but holy hell, Little Busters was so... empty. It felt like a boring husk D:

And it didn't suck.
