...I think he broke! The -OFFICIAL- Batou Fan Club... thread

Post by Individual Twelve »

So, we have a Motoko fan club, but not a Batou fan club? Something's not right here. And I'm righting it.

Do beware spoilers- most good discussions involve spoilers, right? Any major late-series/movie ones should be marked in white to avoid bad spoiling.

Yes indeedy! Batou deserves his fandom. And thus I shall give it corporeal form... here, at least.

O_o to me it seemed like you guys were talking about making one, so... was I wrong in making that thread?

No reason why you couldn't just declare the creation of the republic in the other thread then start inducting citizens :)

I'm sure the original poster would co-operate in changing the topic.

ANYhoo it's too late now you did it. I'm going to post my support :)

Cookies have chocolate! :D Goes to nibble.

Oh, here's something from a long time ago, that the batoans might appreciate. Call it the Trojan Batou! >:3 .....O_o' even though it's just a gift for you guys as a good luck sign! ^^

Thanks a lot, marto!... Even if it is a Trojan Batou. It's awesome regardless. Nice shorts, Batou.

Ah man... you can't really call it an "official" fan club unless you're Production IG... or Shirow or someone, or you have their endorsement. You guys should make fanlisting.net lists for these characters, or post a link to whatever the one that exists is. No reason to say you can't have an "official in the shell thread" of a Batou club however. :wink:

I don't really like clubs with presidents and formalities and whatever. Seems kind of power-tripping and silly and so forth. Although if you're just all having a laugh, then it's fine. Just remember- this is all a game- a bit of fun. It's not to get all character posessive or whatever (-> has a sneaky suspicion I'll be going over to the Motoko club posts in a moment or two to say some more...)
