Vagabond: Adaptation of the novel Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa, it follow Miyamoto Mushashi from his beginning as kind of a punk who goes around challenging people to death-matches to one of the most respected swordsman of all Japan. Also, has some of the best art in any manga, period.
Five girls who are aiming to become idols, lead the viewer through practicing various types of training, such as push-up, sit-up, back extension, dance, yoga, stretch, trunk training, and Tai Chi, while talking to viewers.
Obligatory Hourou Musuko plug. It's been licenced, but the official English translation isn't going to be finished for several more years yet. (They started in 2011 and are about halfway through.)
I remember the first season being pretty fun, kinda like Black Lagoon without the depressing backstories and doesn't take itself as seriously, but I remember the second season becoming a train wreck halfway through.
I still find this dialogue to be, like, really dumb and melodramatic in itself, and I like melodrama. Perhaps it'd make more sense in context, since apparently main dude's been a dummy, but geez it's close to intolerable. I do like how the VA sells it though.
Never mind all of the "Wow, so accurate!!" comments I've seen about it.
Apparently the girl's basically ripping the guy a new one for being a condescending, self-absorbed asshole, albeit in the context of her finally snapping from him treating her like crap.
I can't remember precisely where it's from, though, but I can guess.

Mmm, I watched it a few times through the first time through and I could get behind that. It just got too repetitive for my tastes. The source is in the tags.

Without context, i can't imagine finding this 'accurate' or 'relatable'.
i find i feel sorry for kid with the tie, and dislike Hatoko. She's crying, so i guess she's upset, but that tirade seems like just about the cruellest thing you could say to a person.
i mean yikes. If talking about things she doesn't care about elicits that kind of rant, no wonder he didn't want to explain what his friend was texting about!
i thought it was kind of funny if you take it as the writer being incredibly bitter about modern anime but i don't know/really care about the character context
I picked up The fourth volume of Mater Keaton while on vacation and I had to remind myself that this was written during the late 80s/early 90s when I saw references to Margret Thatcher and The Troubles. Like, oh yeah, those were current events when this was written.
