Yeahhhhhhhhhh

I'm weak. So weak. Pathetically weak ;_;

Or so strong for supporting the industry.

I don't think I would want to watch the BR edition with all that extra gore and stuff. I'm ok with it being censored.

Gore isn't a big deal in anime for me. Realistic gore is kind of offputting but I can even handle the sight of real gore so it's not so bad.

Moretsu Pirates 11

The space parts have been the best parts to the anime so far. Visuals as well as the intense sound kept me on the edge of my seat for the large duration that it took place. Kane is a great sternsman, and pretty epic with the

, and San Daime too, cool character. Marika is still a great main who has had phenomenal development, possibly one of the top female protagonists.

Maybe in her own show, but if where I stopped is any indication and what you're saying is true, she must've had like 50 episodes worth of development, depth, backstory, plot, and motivation crammed into 3 episodes. She was still a pretty shallow character when I stopped watching.

Her mother and Gruier are better characters than her, and the mom barely had any screen time at all.

For Judgment as least, it was for starting the Investigation Team for finding the truth or something. The anime does pretty much gloss over that. I have no idea why he got Empress, besides I guess talking to them for like 23 episodes in a row. I guess they just realized they needed him to get Empress and couldn't do persona fusing marathon to get it.

Gore isn't a big deal in anime for me. Realistic gore is kind of offputting but I can even handle the sight of real gore so it's not so bad.

Well, I was offput by at least F/Z's gore especially I didn't expect it and I was eating while it happen. Threw me off and I couldn't even keep watching that episode till later. Pretty much made me watch F/Z while not eating.

How were you able to handle Elfen Lied? Or have you not watched that?

Have not watched that and probably never well. Out of willingness and backlog.

Help, I'm still snared in by that shitpile.

Got my 5k kills so I got my 1050/1050 points. I still want to pull that lever on the slot machine.

It's not really THAT gory to be honest. BLood C uncensored seems much gorier than elfen Lied. It's pretty much one of those shows that's worth a watch but definitely not something I'd just recommend to people.

Waaaah?

I decided to watch it today based on previous mentiones on here as well :lol
The main theme also sounded similar to me, was thinking it sounded similar to the theme in Princess Mononoke.

BONES beckoned to both of us this day! Haha

And yeah, it definitely has some similarity with Mononoke's theme. Yet, my brain's telling me of one even closer...bah can't recall it though.
Anyways, it was great stuff.

Arararagi seems to enjoy getting his ass beat down by women fairly often. In addition to his sister complex, his Mayoi complex, etc. etc. he must be some sort of effed up masochist. This guy is so messed up in the head. And for those reasons (among others admittedly) he's probably one of my favorite protagonists in a long time. :3

I should probably check out the light novels one day too.

Oh well time to wait for the BDs and for Kizu.


And yeah Bakemonogatari was definitely superior to this.

The last episode was good, but the ride wasn't terribly enjoyable. Wonder what they'll do with the BDs and how Kizu will be.

Last week was like when the BSG/Lost finales aired. This week is all the fans in denial trying to reconcile their love for the text by trying to justify what happened.

It's really amusing to watch from a distance.

Of course it is.

 

[Dresden]

Please tell me this is real.

Yep.

A while ago, I created thesis on Clan Zorah regarding quarian sweat, etc. I'll post it here with some post-scriptum edits and abridging, it was created over the course of approximately 40 minutes. In several posts.

It started off as an analysis of Tali's sweat, trying to figure out what it'd smell and taste like. I quickly realised that most scents originate from bacteria, which would be minimal to non-existant for quarians.
The next best thing, would be urea. Urea is essential for the metabolism of mammals, and also a bonding agent (For say, p-cresol and o-cresol, two odor chemicals found in sweat. Though these likely aren't available to quarians), and it, and residues of the amino acids and chemicals used in its production are excreted through many different ways. Urine, sweat, etc.
This thesis assumes quarians are anything like mammals back on earth and have a digestive system at least remotely similar to theirs.

. . .

A member of Clan Zorah, Troodon80, claims to have had personal experience with the substance as a depressant, and states that it is, in fact, addictive.

Additionally, the dextro version of "Asp" (stands for L-Aspartate), in order for it to be soluble like it's levo counterpart, it would likely bond with sodium, resulting in Sodium D-Aspartate, which is a natural performance enhancer [2], it massively increases the human body's production of testostorone, also resulting in an increased libido.

Finally, Orn, stands for L-ornithine. This amino acid allows for the disposal of excess nitrogen.
Dextro version of this is largely similar in role, except for the fact that it is far more prone to create a hydrogen bond. (Including with molecules like ammonia, NH3)
Hence, it would demobilize the ammonia and eliminate the odor eminated from the production of urea to quite an extent.

So, so far, we can tell that Tali would not smell nearly as bad as those filthy humans, her sweat's a drug and a natural performance enhancer.

As for additional odors , that would be determined by MHC's and pheromones, which are too large and complex to even consider estimating with the limited knowledge we have at this time. Though the production of MHC's is also a key component of our immunesystem, so they might be considerably less common for quarians. (They might even have something completely different altogether)is time.

Stupid questions, anime edition: my friend at work is contemplating watching Macross, however, she would like to know why singing hurts aliens. Wikipedia is not much help here.

From what I remember; imagine if firehawk12 100'000 years later became a blood-thirsty fight-hungry alien, somehow lost all his culture, and then you play "mono-no-aware" music in front of him in that state, and then all sorts of strange feelings pop up afterwards as well as a state of confusion, that's kind of what it's like, although my memory may not exactly be accurate.

Shinobu is the best thing to have come out of this. Overall, I'm disappointed with Nisemonogatari, it could have been so much better than what it was, even given the source material.

At least Kizu should be all kinds of awesome, especially since

Nisemonogatari 11

This particular episode was great, but yeah, overall as a series, Nise feels like a step down from Bake. Don't know if that's because of the change of director or difference in source material (not that I could tell, having read neither pair of novels) or what, but that's just how it feels, I guess. I don't really have any overtly negative opinions, just far more neutral ones than the amount of positive ones I had for Bake. Still, I really enjoyed the SHAFT style and the performances from Hiroshi Kamiya, Maaya Sakamoto, Shinichiro Miki, and the brief portions of Chiwa Saito we were granted. Hopefully they've got top men working on Kizu, though from what I hear people say, the plot of Kizu is very good to start with anyway.

 

[Erigu]

Bakemonogatari + Nisemonogatari = 4 books out of 15.
