Only if its tasteful.
In other news:
So I've been getting all of those Madoka Magica Key Animation Note books as they have been coming out over the course of this year, and the 6th and final one came today along with a surprise (which explains why the shipping cost for this volume was so high). Big artbox to keep them all in, big, solid and black with silver artwork on it. I was really excited to get all of the books into this thing and just stand back an admire this thing, but when I went to put it on the shelf I realized that the box is about a centimeter to high for the shelf *sigh*.
Also, when the hell did I get so many artbooks lol.

Well, my copy of Steins;Gate Part 1 arrived yesterday, so I've been rewatching and reliving that. Right now, I'm watching it in it's dubbed form just to see if the VAs were any good. I was impressed, to say the least. As far as dubs go, Funimation did an excellent job choosing the VAs. While I still don't like the dubs as much as subs for Steins;Gate, this is the best dubbing I've heard in a while (though Rumiho's (a.k.a. Feris') VA still makes me cringe from time to time). As far as pronunciation goes, the only complaint I have is how they pronounce Kurisu's name, just too much emphasis on the 'u' which is either silent or said in such undertone that it seems silent.
Edit: Watched up to episode 12 in dubbed. Voices still did not disappoint much. In the end, there were a lot of Americanizations, but none of which stood out as awful, out of place, or unnecessary. The special features were interesting, to say the least, nothing that set it apart from other anime special features (except maybe the map of Akihabara showing places frequently used in Steins;Gate, which was pretty interesting). Now to watch in subs and truly relive all moments that made Steins;Gate Steins;Gate.

Seems like no matter how many times I change my profile pic on MAL it always goes back to Asuka after a while. Why do I like her so much? I imagine that if she was real and I knew her, she'd annoy me to death. Oh well... changed my whole list style too, that took a bit of time...

Yeah, I've always found it kind of funny how we can come to like a character from our position as an observer, but if we thought abut it from the position of somebody actually interacting with them in real life we would probably not like. It's kind of interesting, because it goes a distance to explain why some character archetypes which feature negative traits are so popular.
Tsundere, specifically, is a good example. As the viewer, its the Dere side of the characters actions that stick out the most significantly and contrinute to our image of them because they are being directly juxtaposed against the Tsun aspects, were as if you were actually on the ground the Tsun aspects would stick out more prominently and likely blind you to the Dere.
I love armchair psycology...
