I realize it's a bit of an odd way of writing something, but I just couldn't resist showing off how much I love the show. If you want to read it, there's an encoder/decoder here: http://themysteryofgravityfalls.com/

And if you take the time to actually decipher it, I've pretty much answered to your second complaint.

        Basically, it's a... different look at the Magical Girl genre. Modoka Kaname is your average schoolgirl, with a fairly normal life... until a mysterious transfer student by the name of Akemi Homura... more

        I got into this series the month I was turning ten, and started with the second game. I loved the characters, I loved the designs, and I loved how you could fight larger than life bosses with Jack... more

      • Beast Wars — Mister Shoebox, Tue Jul 10 4:23pm

              Rot13. It's used on Slacktivist and Mark Does Stuff, and is the easiest cipher I know of, especially for spoilery stuff. (Generally, going "Rot13'd for spoilers!" is good etiquette, though.)

          • True that, about the dub. — HimochiIsAwesome, Mon Jul 9 3:47pm
            The dub is more going for the humour and the accents, whereas the sub/original is slightly more serious. There's also quite a bit more ship teasing in the dub. I'm talking about you, FrUK in the... more
