I still don't understand how a song about adultery is considered an appropriate Christmas song.

Because a kid is singing it and therefore it's cute. Also because "Santa Claus" is obviously his dad.

[up][up]Wouldn't that suggest then that the son is witnessing something he...probably shouldn't be at his age?

Ok so question. Am I the only one who rolls their eyes when a piece of media plays off a romantic relationship between two teenagers as a serious deal?

Apparently this version of Hyde looks like a Jojo's character. According to people who have seen that anime and I guess understand it.

I mean, if you're not a teenager (and thus, not the demographic), you're probably gonna roll your eyes at something like that, so it's kind of a silly question.

This scene about the wreckage of a teen romance does not make me roll my eyes.

I do get what you mean about aging out of the demographic. I was just rewatching Avatar: The Last Airbender, and how seriously they took the romance between a 12 year old and 14 year old was much more ridiculous than I remembered back when I was 12.

That show is kinda dated in general. I remember really sitting down and watching it for the first time, like, a year or two ago, and thinking "This is definitely a product of the 2000s."

I never liked the romance in that show. There's a war going on I think there are more important things to be worrying about.

Speaking of good shows, who's the wiseguy who made the fourth DVD of Full Metal Panic only have three episodes instead of four like the previous ones? I got hit with a "To be continued..." x_x

I smell magic in the air. Or maybe barbecue.

Sometimes during situations like war people need things like romance in order to stay sane

Naze Turbine actually lampshaded the fact that high death rates sometimes result in high birth rates.

So, yeah, romance during wartime is perfectly applicable.

Also, in real life, we had the baby boomer generation right after World War II. People thought life was fleeting and they should compensate by making more of life, so therefore, they had lots of babies!

Well I don't understand any of that either, but this might be something to do with the fact I'm ace and none of this stuff has been really of high importance to me.

We started watching Spotlight in my journalism class yesterday. Now, the Cardinal featured in the movie just died. That's uncanny.

I think it's for the best if I stay out of the anime thread. Try to minimize my interaction with anime fandom as much as possible.

[up][up] Not the first time something like that has happened. I really got into Emerson, Lake & Palmer's Karn Evil 9 last year and then Greg Lake died a few days later.
