In this thread, rant on something. Anything that gets your blood boiling or your panties in a bunch or whatever.

You know what really grinds my gears?

Gintama is one of my favorite manga. It's hilarious, the characters are all likable for different reasons, and it doesn't take itself seriously at all... even when it is. I would LOVE to be able to own the anime of Gintama on Region 1 DVD or Blu-ray. The problem? Sentai Filmworks licensed it and they AREN'T GIVING IT A DUB. I have never watched more than a few episodes of an anime sub'd. I prefer dubs. If you like subs more, that's fine, but I don't. Almost all the time nowadays, an anime gets a high quality dub (not the horrible crap that created the stigma placed on dubs from more than 15 years ago or the "4Kids" treatment) AND still contains the original Japanese audio with English subtitles. It's a good system; everyone gets what they want. Occasionally, a less well known anime, such as Clanaad, comes around that has just enough of a fanbase to get a US release, but not enough to cover the costs of a dub. I understand this and I'm not speaking ill of those circumstances.

HOWEVER, Gintama is not one of those cases. Gintama already has an American fanbase that has been rooted by Viz's US release of the manga. Gintama is an action comedy, one of the few genres of anime that tend to sell very well in North America, not a short harem series based on a Japan only video game. It could have easily made enough revenue to cover the costs of the dub had it been marketed correctly, or AT ALL for that matter! As far as I know Sentai hasn't even put a banner ad on Anime News Network for Gintama's release, AND IT'S ALREADY IN STORES!!

Sentai Filmworks is going back and releasing Clanaad a second time now, this time with a dub. I can only hope that they decide to do the same for Gintama, but I haven't seen any indication that they will. Especially seeing as Gintama is a still running series, even having a movie due out soon, whereas Clanaad was a single boxed release.

F*CK YEAH, Sniper hating!
Well...
You Know what Really Grinds My Gears?
All those f*cking morons who think they're better than others just because they have a cool phone, alot of cool shit and so on
And also all the b*tches on CoDMW2 who just sit in a corner with a claymore waiting to be launched right near him, because his waiting for a victim to come and try to kill him, but it goes the other way around.
Then there are the other guys who just sit on roof tops with frikkishly strong weapons and n00btubes killing people...
F*ck all the campers in CoDMW2......
Then the idiots who think they own the place and that they can boss everyone around and make them treat him like a f*cking king.
And then there are the huge fucking idiots who think that Graphics, make a good game..
Seriously!
Who the f*ck would play a game just to stare at the screen and not even touch the controller!?
Gameplay is what's important!
Seriously, will you even notice the graphics if the story's awesome, gameplay's epic and the enviorments would be huge?
Well?
Hell no!
People didn't complain about GTASA having "bad" graphics.
No one complained because Pong has nothing but 2 sticks and a ball like square in it.
So like...The f*ck is the reason to choose graphics over gameplay?
F*ck, i don't even give a crap if a game would have worse graphics than Pong as long as it has good gameplay...
So yeah, that's pretty much all i came up with to rant about.

Wanna know what really grinds my gears? the increasing number of spammers getting Vip... at 1 in the morning xp

[NiGHTS]

Hmmm,
one of the many things that "grinds my gears" is
the way everyone i know in real life plays CoDMW2 and has become so obsessed with it its unbelieveable.
MW2 is not just a game, it... is a way of life. PLAY OR DIE!!!!
And like they keep harrassing me to spend all this money on a game which i find quite frankly to be absolute fucking rubbish >.> dammit people LEARN THIS FACT
Hmmm what else

My internets disconnection every two seconds... yep thats a big one as well
Teachers who think that their subject is the most important thing that there will ever be in your life. And its okay for them to give you a ton of homework for the next day and expect it done ahead of important stuff like coursework.

Oh Oh I know,
The fact that women take about an hour to decide whether they want a certain bra or not, then they move onto the next one and take another hour. Dammit woman i don't want to hear all about your underwear problems I just wanna get home and go back to the bed you rudely awoken me from >.<

Hmmm...
People who like to disregard anything in order to get their way (my sister >:U) i mean she doesn't care that we could end up on the streets at any time, she just wants that expensive pair of shoes, or that expensive new car >.>  I mean A) she won't wear the shoes and B) Her car is just a rubbish skip on wheels pfft

Oh oh oh professional footballers. Bunch of premadonnas and big girls blouse's. I mean they make waayyyy more money than everyone else for what? Doing their hobby, and they get adored for it? Oh and in a match whenever another player touches them when tackling they have to dive to the ground and act a total drama queen. When in fact it just makes them look like a bunch of simpletons. Get real >.>

damn straight, mom always uses the trick on my dad

It also irritates me that men always fall for it,or just take it without a proper fight or decent backup

and reality shows have a habit of making it seem that only men can make mistakes
