All domestic blu-rays released by Sentai Filmworks get really cheap during common sales, and become like $10 at their website after a few years (except for a very few titles that may sell out before that happens).
This is fortunate because Sentai Filmworks (originally ADVision) has bad video quality on all their blu-ray titles. They've been producing their blu-rays incorrectly since the beginning and no one has ever figured it out or criticized them enough, because the USA anime consumer community is incompetent (this is just 1% of the overall anime community, since most people download most if not all of their anime).
Sentai Filmworks crops 1 or 2 pixels from all four edges of the screen, then rescales the image back to full size. This problem is in every title and in all their menus as well. It's not obvious unless you compare with a Japanese blu-ray or source. With the rescaler they use, the final image looks almost the same sharpness as the original for nearly all anime content, except for the OP/ED credits text which is usually 1080p overlayed on the drawings (usually 720p or less). All 1080p content gets ringing artifacts from their particular sharpener, so that's what I look for to check each blu-ray.
Sentai Filmworks didn't have this problem for their DVD releases. Their $10 typical blu-ray cost lets me forgive their video issue, but I still pray for any show that I care about to be released by anyone except them (even Aniplex, which is very expensive). Sentai is by far the most prolific, but they tend not to be releasing the absolute top tier titles (for me) so that's good. They do release a ton of second tier titles that I enjoy. Spankave is probably a fourth tier title for me (still not bad).
I doubt I could do any now, but when I could do (semi-hard style) pushups, I could also do pullups (any style) but only a few probably. I didn't try them often because you need a bar or something, while pushups only need the ground. I vaguely recall that there is also a style of difficult vertical pushup that you can do with a bar in the gym. I'm not used to training or building up slowly, because I've never really done too much physical activity, and when I was young I could do all these things with no training, as my default strength level. Which wasn't too bad, if I was a girl.

It's convenient if you like being held down by bigger, stronger girls.
This sounds tempting but it would have to be the right kind of anime girl that I like. In real life, I am scared by girls who are bigger and stronger than me (in America, this is actually most girls). But I'm not scared by guys until they are twice my weight. Otherwise I think (possibly incorrectly) that I can beat them up in a real fight with my
anime girl martial arts techniques.
When I was in high school, there were occasionally a girl or two who would follow me around in PE class. This was a little annoying because I was wearing gym clothes, 70 pounds, suck at sports (this was before I figured out that I wasn't as bad as I thought), ashamed that they were bigger than me, and I didn't understand why they were doing that. It was probably not until 20 years later that I kind of figured out why. (It's probably the same reason a lot of us here might follow around Illya in gym clothes in PE class).
I also went to an all-girls school briefly. They all wore sailor uniforms (too bad I didn't get one) and the more mature ones also wore makeup, perfume, and hentai outfits like fishnet stockings with their sailor uniforms. They were tall and thin, and huggled me a lot since I was the only guy there. I was too small though so I didn't have any interest in them.
Oh yeah, another benefit of being small is that I got to beat up a lot of guys in high school and I didn't get into any trouble. I got bullied some, but I mostly just had the fortune to beat up about one guy a year (half of these were the serious bullies on campus, and half were just guys that I probably shouldn't have hit). So when I saw stuff like Taiga fighting in Toradora, I'm surprised that she would get suspended from school for that, because in America that's normal and I did that every year.
I only got sent to the dean's office once, and that was for fighting with a girl. That was fun too, she was a nice girl. (IMG:[
