But sure people who buy Pitts but do not bother to learn how to raise one properly are a large part of the problem.

@Miniature Menace that isn't the definition of irrational

I never played the games, though

I'm operating on the assumption that the Castlevania series occurs in an alternate history where the church actually behaves in a stupid evil fashion. And that's how I've basically compartmentalized it.

One of the dumbest yet most entertaining anime’s ive ever seen was the GATE anime.

GATE was pretty good.

I just loved it for the dumb action

@Gservator Then it's not *your* definition of irrational. And that's fine. Are you going to argue that people generally make conscious and deliberate choices to take them further from their chief objectives?

Also not actually that dumb. Did a good job of avoiding being contrived.

@Nevis it's set in Wallachia, the year is 1476

I liked that blood bath.

@Miniature Menace no, it's not THE definition

>For Whom The Bell Tolls, instead of the in-show meme of Ride of the Valkyries
Not sure how I feel about this.

Also, this was _long_ before the church had any of the reformations that has calmed it down today. This was presumably before the Protestant-Catholic wars, in a territory right on the edge of Islamic invasion, in the grip of several competing monotheistic religions (Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Islam, whatever remnants of paganism remained)

I just grabbed the top search result.

It’s been a couple years since I watched it

@Gservator I literally don't care. Because that's not really what I'm arguing about. My criticism is related to *my* definition. Address how my argument is actually invalid using the way I have described my criticism.

Yeah, this was right on the cusp of the collapse of the Byzantine Empire and Islamic threat, then

@Nevis so for a modern view it's post crusade era Romania

Regardless, really sad that Bookwalker doesn't have it

@Miniature Menace you don't understand english if you think you can have your own definitions

Religious zealotry against due to hostile foreignersbwould have made religious tensions very high

Whether or not the definition you use for "reason" corresponds to the way I use it has no bearing on whether what I'm describing is how people generally behave.

I've got some /ak/ translations at least, but those aren't as convenient.

And the Catholic Church was certainly corrupt

While the scale might be overblown

@HurtChain thats a pretty good anime

Not just that @Nevis but the church is justified due to demons and vampires actually existing

I have practically 0 knowledge of anime, so I’m glad other people appreciate it as well.

I personally chalked that partly up to an insane rogue element of tbe church rather than the _entirety_ of Catholic clergy being that degree

That's what I'm here for lol

Pretty much all I’ve seen for anime is gate, parasite, attack on titan, and death note

affirming good taste and mocking bad taste

Death Note is great.

Manga of Attack is better

Haven't seen the others.

only the first half of death note

AoT's biggest problem is pacing

@Nevis you don't think vampires and demons actually existing would kick zealotry up to an 11?
