I can waste so much time on that site. (It seems to me, btw, that the heavy concentration of anime content is kind of recent. The first time I fell into that site it was alsmot all TV.)

Ah, yes. I first encountered TvTropes through a link from [this “Atomic Rockets” site](http://www.projectrho.com/rocket/index.html), which is also pretty engrossing.

So…addicted…can’t…stop…damn…you!

Only on narrative tropes now. So many to read. The anime ones I tend to skip, but the rest are good. I had no idea that the whole idea of picking a jury of traitors/murderers came from The Devil and Daniel Webster.

It should be one of the major laws of the Internet. Any discussion on movies or TV shows will eventually be dominated by a group of people who will begin listing dozens of different animes (and the majority will not have official English translations).
