This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Now they don't even bother with localization anymore.. which would be a good thing except now we have screens full of untranslated onscreeb Kanji that the story demands you be able to read and overly long and literal titles like "The Time I Gained The Power To Turn My Sister's Panties Into Angelic Guns By Meeting God On The Planet Golbacky While Drinking My Juice In The Hood That Tuesday Night." Which aren't even what people in Japan call the show since even in the tongue of Nippon that'd take too dang long.

Hell you're lucky if there's even a dub at all. Let alone one that hasn't been beaten to the ground by politics

meh, i don't mind watching undubbed anime; anything that's "internationalized" is probably watered down anyways ... i wanna see raw, undiluted japanese weirdness

Yeah but I usually am multi-tasking and can't pay full attention. So it being in English is helpful
