    I remember politely telling the guy at my local Family Video that "Watership Down" should probably be removed from the kid's section. He scoffed at me and just gave me a "yeah.. mkay."

    A few weeks later, I noticed it was gone. I commented on it to a different guy this time and he said "yeeeeah, the boss' sister brought it home for her kids. It's gone now. Like... actually gone."

    Childhood trauma could have been avoided with that one. Lol

    I have the same trauma. It ran on German TV in the middle of the day decades ago. Never going to forget this.

      This reminds me of 2010 when lootboxes and gacha games were okay because teaching children to gamble with Dad's credit card was awesome.

      15 years later and YouTube doesn't even know what gambling is anymore, lol.

          It felt so weird going into the anime completely blind.

          Okay, he's German. Uh, and he's in the army. And it's WW2.

          ...Are we going to address the elephant in the room?

          Nope, he's just the new bro, here we're all bound by the power of muscles and cool poses.

          I mean he foolishly releases the bad guys because he's arrogant, then he talks a big game and gets his ass kicked repeatedly.

            It's 1:4 but everytime the card is played is a new set of 1:4 starts, so fuck knows what the actual odds are.

            It's always 1:4 then but that doesn't mean in 4 goes you're guaranteed a win.

                Reminds me of the 90's. When anime was becoming more available in the west. Titles like Ghost in the Shell, Akira and La Blue Girl. Everyone here just figured they were cartoons and cartoon were for kids. So kids got to watch it...

                Now it's like they see poker, so it must be gambling. Doesn't matter it's not the case at all.

                    YouTube no longer allows any reference to gambling sites or applications "not certified by Google."

                    It's literally on the Play Store, rated at M.

                      Humans are bad at probability, and that's mostly why they gamble too.

                      Every wheel draw is supposed to be independent (it's not totally so because computer "random" is really a pseudo-random algorithm, but close enough). So every time you draw, the odds are 1:4. Previous draws don't matter.

                      On an infinitely large number of draws, you'd see a 1/4 success rate. This doesn't mean you can't fail a dozen times in a row (the probability of that is (3/4)^12, about 3%... It happens).
