A mention of Gone Home (a game that starts as horror but ends up as the coming out of a high school girl) became a discussion about Voldemort's crusade against the gays

Sounds like a typical discussion in this thread.

In another topic, this is one of the greatest things I've ever seen. Anywhere.

You know what I would like to see, in anime or anywhere?

A character explains his or her ability, causing the opponent to exploit it...

...only to realize that the character actually lied about ability.

I think I saw it somewhere, but not sure. I know that there's a Hunter X Hunter character who intentionally explains his ability because that's part of activating his power.

It's probably happened tons of times, explaining your moves is such an old, ingrained thing people are bound to subvert it sometimes.

It happened in Bleach with Gin's bankai. Of course, that instance, as with other instances in Bleach, were mostly just half-truths and slanted truths which didn't need to be told in the first place.

[up][up] Oh, I know it happened a whole lot, but how many incidents of subversion can you actually think of?

Also, incoming another random rambling.

There's something.......exciting about spitting on someone's favorite work or character. I make it a rule to never insult actors, directors, etc, though. For the most parts, at least.

Read Nurarihyon No Mago, there's a character there who' entire fighting style is based around lying about his powers.

Nurahiyon takes me back to the distant year of not really that long ago. It was a period of anime loving where I knew not what the jimmy fucks was going on but loved it anyway.

This will sound stupid, but aren't the lips in that show lovely? I don't know why, but the part of Nurahiyon no Mago that truly stuck with me was the lips because I dunm

While we're on Shonen; apparently the best kind of shonen are monthly, have big villains called Father, and are eventually adapted by Bones. FMA was fantastique, and starting Noragami, I can safely say that it's also fucking excellent.

It happened in Bleach with Gin's bankai. Of course, that instance, as with other instances in Bleach, were mostly just half-truths and slanted truths which didn't need to be told in the first place.

How so? Gin needed to lie about his Bankai in general to keep the details hidden from Aizen while still looking loyal.

As for lying about the length, Ichigo theorized that if Gin could keep the speed hidden he'd be able to kill someone in one shot. That's pretty important.

@d Roy - to explain the Gin example in more detail, Gin activates his Bankai against Ichigo and explains that his Bankai extends the length of his blade to 13 kms, then demonstrates it by swinging the sword at Ichigo. Ichigo finds the explanation odd, then after observing him calls Gin out and says the length isn't the real danger, but the speed with which the sword expands and contracts. Gin is surprised (internally, as well) so Ichigo is mostly right - but then Gin tells him the exact speed of the movement, to cover up that he still hasn't found the real danger.

Later on, Gin uses his Bankai on Aizen, who was told by Gin how it worked a long time ago and didn't expect it to work on him. But then Gin reveals he lied about both the exact length and exact speed, and that rather than merely extending the blade turns into dust during the moment it is extending and long story short that allows Gin to bypass Aizen's defenses. So it's pretty much exactly the situation you said.

There's also Aizen lying about his ability to the Gotei 13 to cover up his hypnosis, but that happened off-screen and wasn't in a fight.

Gin didn't mention his blade's poison element to anyone.

He also didn't need to say anything during his fight with Ichigo.

I don't see your point at all.

He didn't need to but he had a very good reason to.

Super-real, personal talk incoming:

You know that whole romantic "I'm in love with my best friend" thing that some married couples have?
Do you know how much it hurts when you're in love with your best friend but they aren't in love with you, and won't be? So you either have to fall out of love or lose the best friendship? It's heartbreaking.

And now, something lighter.

Shimoneta, an anime from a few seasons back. Basically nonstop dirty jokes and a plot about how censorship is bad with all the subtlety of a brick to the face. It was alright.

That's a bit from near the end. I don't remember the exact context.
