  1. New trailer out... http://youtube.com/watch?v=5B-Afc2SEGc&feature=related Nah but seriously http://youtube.com/watch?v=P-yBPjYJdeY&feature=related Also, I hate 00 design: You'd think they'd learn with all the crappy series they made in the 80s. Last, I love this song!
  2. Dude, watch it.
  3. Whoa slow down there! This is the Science Lab. Take your literary analysis to another thread. Please do, it's very interesting.
  4. Can you see into the future durendal?
  5. Don't feel bad, they're all puppets anyway! (An appropriate use for Guyver 3!)
  6. Anyone else seen Ganishkazilla yet? Holy Crap!

    God?

    According to Occam's razor, the explanation of any phenomenon should make as few assumptions as possible, eliminating those that make no difference in the observable predictions of the explanatory hypothesis or theory. That being said, it takes far too many assumptions to believe the theories presented in most religions or in the theory of God for it to be logically accepted. As I like to live my life as logic dictates, I'm satisfied with this answer. I still like religion as it can be an important tool for bringing People together, and it has a significant role in human history and sociology. However, just as many times as its been a tool for bringing order and peace, it has been used for manipulation and subjugation. In this way, religion can be dangerous, and must never supersede logic. However, most rules and mandates of modern religion have logical roots, and there is little harm in respecting the customs of the past under most circumstances.
  8. Dude, Ali is alive, you see him drinking in the last scenes of the final episode of the season. The sad thing is, Lockon really didn't accomplish anything besides maybe destroying the Throne Gundam a little more. He should have just packed it in when he was ready to return Dynames. Wow, actually that makes it really sad, well more pathetic than sad. He was a cool character though, he had the most realistic flaws as well.
  9. I thought this thread was the serious one? We all know that in reality the way humans evolved requires that women devote at least nine months of their life raising the next generation (likely many more months) and would therefore be reliant on males while preoccupied. As such even before the human race, males have through natural selection gained traits that aided in hunting and killing which is exactly what the Creators were manufacturing. What this tells me is that men are closer to the Creators intended soldiers than women as men have evolved to be more suited to hunting (you could stretch this to fighting). Women would therefore be inferior candidates for modern zoaforming. Not to mention the complications of keeping a women fertile during the heavy physcial changes that zoaforming requires. Zoaforming a women just seems like a lot of added work.
  10. Actually...I think Murakami died in a kinda of pitiful way. He wasn't really able to fight back against Guyot after his power was drained, and even in death his body was usurped and abused for others' schemes. Don't mean to be a prick, but that's how I see it. Light's death in Death Note was inevitable, and I thought that he really did slip up for it to happen. He got over-confident, and trusted in others ability, very out of character. Earlier on in the series, he would second-guess himself, and think of all the possible scenarios. He also died in the most undignified manner. I think Baki's mom had a really sad death. It took me awhile to realize she actually died, things actually looked like they were changing for the better, until you realize Baki is imagining talking to his mother. Tomoe's death in Rurouni Kenshin was sad, but it was inevitable as it's told in retrospect. Even so, it felt so sadly avoidable as she died by Kenshin's attack.
  11. I HAVE RETURNED FROM MY AP EXAM! God I hate US history. I totally agree about Lasse.
  12. They never showed what happened to Ali al Sarchas. For all we know, he dodged Lockon's last attack without any effort. They just cut off to Setsuna looking for Lockon and Lockon dying.
  13. Don't worry Phantom, you didn't do anything wrong. I think your right about it being leprosy actually. I wasn't arguing about that. I was just expressing my hatred for that second OVA that's all. No offense Blackwing, but you knew Haku and Zabuza would die as soon as you saw them. Kimimmaru was terminally ill too, so why did you feel so bad about their deaths? I did like these characters, but I'm not really moved by what happened to them. All of them were pretty cliche if not shallow characters. They were just too predictable for me to care. Also, Brad from the Manga was much easier to like and feel bad for than his annoying Anime counterpart.
  14. No your completely wrong. They won't change the title. Its the second season of the same series. Also Gundam 00 will continue in 6 months. Doesn't Code Geass continue like next week?
  15. Awesome ending! I just realized that the GN Arms and Weapons' Bay is exactly the same as the G-Fighter and G-Armor from the original series. Remember when Amuro fought against that Giant Mobile Armor, the Big Zam? Exact same fight. I hope that the next season has a return to old school Gundam designs. I've come to like the new ones, but when I saw O Gundam, I almost cried. Also, I'm glad that the title has nothing to do with secret agents. But what happened to the last Gundam series with this naming scheme? ZZ Gundam was crap! It even said on the DVD box not to buy it. I hope we're not going to get the ridiculous, clunky Gundams covered in body armor again. The Mobile Suit might as well be a block with lasers coming out of one side, and missiles coming out another! Last, maybe the Meisters will get some meat on their bones now that they're all 4 years older. Hopefully will be able to tell Setsuna isn't a girl without looking at the colossal cleavage that these animators have to give every female character.
  16. Very sad caused I loved that series. THAT OVA SUCKED! It is not canon and the art style was an uncomfortable change. Also, Saito, Yahiko, and Aoshi had really good fights there, but they just disappeared for the OVA. Finally, the whole thing was a shitty flashback while Jo-chan and Kenshin were dying of Syphilis or something. It was clearly stated in the Anime and Manga that he had microscopic damage to his body, like jellyfish stings or shin splints or the Rasenshuriken or the Hachimon Tonkou (Naruto references). You can't spread physical injury as an STD! It was Leprosy you say? Why the hell would the world's greatest swordsmen of all People just die of Leprosy with no mention of sickness beforehand? It's the stupid, cliche plot twist possible!
  17. Wolfwood in the Trigun Maximum was pretty depressing. I mean the guy came back from the dead like three times in the fight with Razlo and then he just dies when he's talking to Vash. It actually took me a good 10 minutes to realize in the next chapter that Wolfwood was dead. You really need to read the Manga to do that series justice. But Hughes death was the saddest by far. I think Sho's dad dying was inevitable, so it didn't really bother me. If Sho had to consciously kill his father to stop him, then that would have been moving.
  18. Sorry but its been stated that Godhand is as superior to Apostles as Apostles are superior to ordinary humans. Ganishka maybe the strongest Apostle ever (As Guts maybe the strongest human ever), but just as Guts can not physically harm Ganishka on his own (especially not with Ganishka's rebirth) an Apostle can not harm a Godhand member. Griffith's near impossible luck has continued in Wyndham, so I expect everything to effortlessly play into the palm of his hand like it always has. He is also closer to reaching the throne of Wyndham than he has ever been, after which I don't know how well things will fair for him.
  19. Yeah...about that... Also all the 2-dimensional comic relief dies in episode 24. I'll leave it to you to figure out who that list includes. More importantly, we never saw what happened to Ali al Sarchas. The scene just shifted away without any mention of what has happened to him. I also have a question. How many GN-Arms do they have? Initially, I thought they had one and it was destroyed with Dynames, but I now believe that there is one for each weapons bay, and Ptolemy had two of those right? Or are the other two attachments to the main body also weapons bays? If so, there would be a GN Arms and weapons bay for each of the original Gundams. If the GN-Arms, Trans-Am system, and additional attachments were used in unison, then these Gundams would be stronger than those of any other series.
  20. I thought that the Trial System had control over any GN drive powered MS by the very nature of the particles?
  21. Does that mean that Nadleeh has the Trial system back? That would certainly even things! But then again, is it a separate system from the GN drives.
  22. Actually, I've been re-watching the dark tournament saga on anijunkie.com and veoh sporadically for the past few weeks. I think my favorite was Dark Tournament because the psychics were pretty boring in the Chapter Black saga. Other than that the Demon World and Chapter Black sagas were great! I just wished we saw Mazoku Yusuke more. The ending left a few open ends that I still wish were answered though.
  23. He's obviously an android. They practically smacked you with that answer Tieria was talking to Lockon right before they went into combat.
  24. No, I think the butt buddies (That Celestial being observer with this orange ponytail and his green haired man-servant) are stealing them. Its too soon for the new powerful units I also. For the record, anyone else really hate those two? EDIT:
  25. Well, its certainly easier to grasp than sucking energy out of a pocket dimension. I would like to think that it works that way, but we're really just speculating now. If that diagram you mentioned is Guyver material please repost it. It could be just the sort of justification this theory needs.
