Who likes Mello??
I actually liked Mello, if only because he wasn't Near. And I still maintain that their names are meant to be pronounced 'Nero' and 'Mero'. Makes tons more sense, I swear.

It, a show with the random, made up name 'Lelouch" which makes no sense, had some generic anime kid fighting a blue eyed, red haired, naked woman who was proclaiming HOW JAPANESE she was, and stating her name was... Collin. WTF?
I'm rather hooked on Code Geass right now, but the melodrama heights it often reaches are nothing I'll defend (and I haven't even seen this week's episode yet, so), but I'll at least mention that it's spelled 'Kallen', and she's only *half* Japanese, so it all TOTALLY makes sense... Yeah, I got nothin'. I like the show, but frankly, the only difference between Light Yagami and Le-Douche is the blind, crippled little sister that's supposed to make you feel some sympathy for Louchebag. Bleh, at least the story's actually suited to an ongoing series, unlike Death Note. No good reason that should've been a full-length TV show...

That's another thing I'll never understand about Japanese shows. I know two people of half Japanese, half white ethnicity, as well as three half Chinese and a half Korean. Not a single one of them has hair that isn't black or brown. I'm pretty sure it's an impossibility for a half caucasian, half east asian individual to inherit low melanin hair from their white parent.

Never watched that show. I've really become tired of most robot anime shows now. A man can only handle so much Nekketsu, you know.

That, and once I learned of the square-cube law, it makes those shows even harder to watch.

With effeminate pink face? Now that adds a whole new dimension to the Shattered Glass story.

The rumour that the Hasbro designers specifically went to a strip club before designing TM2 Blackarachnia. That one was stupid.

I thought the rumour was that the Mainframe guys took out one of the modellers for BA's original design?

People spend so much time worrying about whether a figure is "mint" or not that they never stop to consider other flavours.
