CDB-Man - So... what exactly is anime? (Golden moments of AniDB)

04.02.2021 03:15 - direct link
See: https://anidb.net/forum/thread/106058
Then: https://anidb.net/forum/thread/106078

In short, the poster asks what is Japanese anime, and won't accept our definition of Japanese anime as an answer... while also not saying why and/or elaborating what he truly wants.

I don't really have any words to describe this.

CDB-Man - More of the same, with less profile page spam (tm)

Well, as of 09.06.2016 UTC, I'm finally rid of the hilariously long string of secondary roles that was ever-growing on my profile listing.

Cheers to more AniDB! ... Well, except for 3 months of the year when I'm dying at work.

CDB-Man - Keeping track of interesting posts

Keeping track of interesting posts that happen to have some sort of relation to me.

Speaking through TL;DR walls of text
Mortsyn wrote:
CDB-Man is the lurkiest man of all lurkers, patiently waiting for his opportunity to strike, even if the post is between several TL;DR-Walls-of-Texts. He's the man we all want to be, yet can never aim to be. He's the man we need, yet do not deserve. He's the man we all place our hopes in, even when things are looking grim.

He is... CDB-MAN! *cue theme* http://youtu.be/HR1389kOAOk

Greetings; Glad to join! (my intro thread)
Also, what was spun off from it.
No single post is quotable by itself.

Also, I just thought of something: "even if the post is between several TL;DR-Walls-of-Texts."

You basically did that in the [UBW] thread! The fact that you actually went back 200 posts (!!!) says something. My respect to you, CDB.

To be fair, I didn't actually read ALL 200 posts of TL;DR text; I just have Amazing Spidey Senses to find what I need to reply to after the walls of text.

And again, researcher Mort taking the (few seconds of) time to actually count how many posts I went back to do that!

Classic. This proves one of 4 things:
  1. Offkorn manually inspects every single thread on AniDB by hand (likely)
  2. Offkorn has an alias nick on #anidb-log watching for, and logging all, forum posts (less likely)
  3. Offkorn has a spy on AniDB amongst the Evil Alliance members (or it's AsDeWqXYZ, heh), that PMs Offkorn whenever he is needed (highly likely (!) )
  4. SOLAR FLARES (11/10)

Sadly 'not everybody' has slowly become 'almost everybody'. It's rare to see anybody saying anything good about anything on this forum.
It's even gotten to the point that some contributors have simple abandoned the forum or stopped contributing, resulting in empty descriptions, missing information and an overall lack of involving.

Forum activity has little correlation to DB content adding. Just look at your own DB entries page, there's not much on there after 8 years: http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=mydb&uid=242523
Also only 27 granted creqs, so at most, you edited/added the anime descriptions of 27 anime entries.

I came in expecting a light-hearted comedy but left with anxiety and a slight sense of horror. The show is indeed very funny, don't get me wrong. Think of a NichiBros/Plastic Nee-san mash-up. 10/10 will watch again.

I came here to watch tits, ass and fights. I got exactly that without any unnecessarily convoluted story. If you want some uncomplicated entertainment and are entertained by flashy action and sexy characters, this would be right down your alley.

The character designs are very cute, the animation is very good and the songs are really enjoyable. The story, though, has a lot of plot holes. It tries to tackle time travel from a slightly different perspective but kind of fails to address some issues that brings up. The romance wasn't too bad but was kind of difficult to accept sometimes. Anyway, I picked it up only because Asumi Kana's voice gives me life but it's an okay way to spend four hours.

I hate how well it worked on me. If you're the type that likes to cry over movies even when you're prepared not to, try this.
The other anime in similar are pretty much what you'd find here, though much more succinct.
