If I can find a decent confectioner around Bedok I might get some muffins, or if the local supermarkets have soft cider I might get some (no alcohol while on the job lol).

Okay, I tried to add a highly condensed version of one of my reviews to this, but there's no review tab showing up. Anybody have any idea what the problem is?

EDIT: Sorry for the overly long URL. Could that be part of the problem?

edited 30th Jan '12 7:52:19 PM by JapaneseTeeth

DOINK I think you borked the URL, Jteeth.

Yeah, I know. Just chop out the dash and the space. The forum adds it automatically for long UR Ls.

EDIT: Here's the review, Here's the page it's supposed to be attached to. Note the lack of a review tab on the latter. Where would be the proper place to ask about that?

Try the tech forum, perhaps?

Umm, completely off topic, but I have just realized that I have crossed the Despair Event Horizon. I don't know when I did, but I'm beginning to not even enjoy things i used to anymore. Including this show. And somebody on Ponychan just pointed out how

Oh well, back to watching The End of Evangelion and Grave of the Fireflies on repeat...

^That's overly negative and I think you know it, Apple P. It's true that we've had fewer ensemble episodes, but can you really say that we'd have had episodes like "Secret of My Excess" or "Hearths' Warming Eve" in 'Generic Cartoon #854'?

Well, yeah. I loved "Secret of My Excess" and "Hearth's Warming Eve." But should I?

@ Applejack Pony

I know how hard it can be breaking off from cites like that Apple Pie, but don't let them get you dowm, if you have to ween yourself off it bit by bit. But don't let outside opinions destroy your enjoyment of a show. If YOU like it, if YOU are entertained by it, thats enough, damn what everyone else has to say.

AJP, given your anime choices, I think you'd better switch to other anime before the Ultimate Ghibli Sad Show kills you from depression.

@AJP: Why not? Are you going to dislike them just because somebody else told you you should? Because that's a load of crap. If you enjoy it, enjoy it, and don't let anybody tell you not to. If somebody's complaining is wrecking your enjoyment of the show, don't listen to them. If you like it, it doesn't matter what they say about it.

Well, I watch depressing stuff because I'm depressed and I kind of feel like I deserve to be depressed. So I intentionally seek out the most depressing stuff I can find.

I suppose that's true, but what's with this nagging feeling I'm getting that what I am doing is wrong?

edited 30th Jan '12 8:13:11 PM by ApplejackPony

@Apple P: I'm not sure how to answer that question. Of course you should enjoy it if you did; both episodes are very strongly character-driven, and are very good to the characters we know and love. Never, ever stop liking something just because some asshat on Ponychan tells you to.

Don't feel that way Apple Pie! You are a wonderful person, always productive and fun to talk to. you shouldn't let others get you down, and you shouldn't feel like you deserve to be depressed.

I'm pretty sure that's just about the worst thing you could do. Nobody deserves to be depressed.

And there really isn't much of a right or a wrong when it comes to enjoying stuff. It's probably just the feeling of not being in the majority on some episodes, but that doesn't matter. Opinions aren't facts, and your opinions are just as valid as anybody else's. If they don't like something that you like, just be happy that you can enjoy something that they can't.

@ AJP: I thought you weren't reading Ponychan anymore?

Also, listen to J Teeth. His advice is good advice. Don't let anyone tell you what you should or shouldn't like.

Seriously, I don't get worked up over much. I can deal with differing opinions, but the moment somebody tells someone else that they shouldn't enjoy something I get pissed the hell off. Nobody should ever degrade somebody else's enjoyment of something just because they themselves don't like it. If you can get enjoyment out of something I can't, more power to you.

re: The feeling in the wrong for watching a show

Every week, I used to go to TWOP to check out the new recapes and fourm discussion for my favrorite show of all time: Glee but week by week both got worse and worse until the whole place was nothing but a spiraling black hole of negativity. I would watch the new episodes, love every seconed of them, then go to the fourms convinced there was no way they could have found anything wrong with the show now. I would walk away a hour latter feeling like shit, or like a stupid person for loving something pepole could hate so much. In the end I just weened myself off the site, and never go there anymore.

I deserve to love what I love without haters harshing my love, and so do you.

@Applejack Pony: Yes, you are supposed to like them. The show was created for the purpose of entertainment. If you like it, that means it succeeded. It's your opinion that validates whether the show is good or not. It is not other people's opinions that validate your opinion.

Also, don't take steps to depress yourself further, it can only have negative consequences. Depression is a terrible thing but it is temporary, like any emotion. Focus on doing something you actually like.

I won't be surprised if that is going to be Dashie's lesson this upcoming episode. Haters gonna hate no matter what you do, so just disregard them.

Thank you, J Teeth, Mage, Ace, everybody else...

And the reason I was on Ponychan is that I was looking to see if there was any announcement on episode 19.

You're welcome.

Hope you start feeling better. Also, EQD is probably a better place to check for updates. They usually get posted pretty quickly, and it's much easier to avoid the comment section.

I recommend Equestria Daily instead, they have less hate and trolls than ponychan.

@ L Mage: I thought Television Without Pity's entire reason for existing was to post sarcastic reviews.
