People who rag on Techno and Death Metal.

Seriously, stop putting them in stereotypes.

On that note, metal =/= death metal. There are other kinds, most of them not involving screaming one's lungs out.

Viking metal does not involve screaming

Thanks, that's what I meant. D:

I'm tired and I just got off work. My brain hasn't been active much here in the last few days. ANOTHER THING TO BE rustled AT!

Incoming wall of rant, specially formatted with no paragraph breaks, just because I love all of you.

You know, I'm not that big of an anime fan, I usually manage to watch one series through every 1-2 years. And hell, while I do tend to prefer subbed Anime over dubbed Anime, it's really not a big deal either way. But what pisses me off, really pisses me off, isn't when they try to censor violence, or sex, or even completely rewrite an Anime to make it for a child audience instead of an teen or adult audience (I'm looking at you One Piece). After all, there are cultural differences between countries, and while Japan doesn't have a problem with nude child characters on a genuine children's show (Example: Digimon), America has a big problem with that, and I don't see anything wrong with censoring that. Now other shows that they do that too, like One Piece, or Sailor Moon, or whatever, hey, that's kinda stupid, it's a teenage show, and you are trying to remake it into a children's show. Why do that when there are plenty of children's anime available to translate for children's shows that require a lot less editing to make it socially acceptable? But no, that isn't what really pisses me off. What really pisses me off, isn't the censoring of violence or sex, as is needed to maintain a particular rating from the FCC. No, what pisses me off, is when they censor COMPLETELY FUCKING RANDOM AND ARBITRARY THINGS WHICH ARE IN NO WAY OFFENSIVE, PURELY OUT OF A XENOPHOBIC ATTITUDE TOWARDS STUFF THAT ISN'T AMERICAN. For jesus fuck Christ's sake, do we REALLY need to censor rice balls into doughnuts? IT'S FUCKING RICE BALLS! What is the worst possible thing that could happen from a child seeing rice balls being eaten by their favorite anime character? Hey, maybe they'll be all like "Ash Ketchum is so COOOL, and he's eating rice balls, I wanna eat some too!" WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE SO BAD ABOUT THAT? HEY! NOW THE KID IS EATING SOMETHING HEALTHY INSTEAD OF SHOVELING SODA, CHEETAHS, AND DOUGHNUTS INTO HIS GIANT OBESE LARDBUCKET OF A BODY! But no, rice balls are too offensive. We can't possibly introduce a child to a type of food which comes from a foreign nation and is actually food. NO! TWINKIES AND SUNNY-D FOR CHILDREN ONLY! NO FOOD FOR YOU! ONLY ARTIFICIAL FOOD-LIKE SUBSTANCES!

MOTHER OF FUCK!

Rice balls aren't healthy at all...

It's better than doughnuts. American doughnuts are like, one of the single unhealthiest foods that American puts out. I'm pretty sure it is bodaciously healthier to cut off a fistful of fat off a piece of meat, and eat it.

Also, what's not healthy about Onigiri beyond being lightly salted? It's rice, seaweed, and fruit/fish/vegetable filling. Or am I missing an ingredient?

You said Rice Ball, not Onigiri. That is much, much different.

I thought Rice Ball was the English translation for Onigiri.

What's a rice ball then?
