  1. Ok, I'm not going to post half naked woman this time as some people might see me as a pervert. Here are some fully clothed (well sorta) pics of Maria Ozawa:
  2. Do note that Suki is the casual form of love, which I'd like to translate as "like". The kanji really means fondness and is casually used instead to denote personal feeling. The deep love is called "ai" [愛], which is much more closer to "love" and is seldomly used. The Japanese mostly say "I like you" as that is something similar to "I love you" in enlgish only a litte milder. They only use "ai" to denote a deep and passionate love. I know, it's the culture.
  3. I wish there would be a decent group that can sub this fast with quality. I'd hate to have different subbers for one series.
  4. Woohoo! It's coming this Sunday. I wonder who is going to sub this.
  5. Hmm.... explaining kanji like that would be a little difficult. Breaking down the kanji to it's root components will be confusing as every root component has different meaning and if joined together will have another completely different meaning. This can be a good example for some kanji like mori [森] (forest), break it down that tree [木] (moku) joined by another tree will become a grove [林] (hayashi), and adding another tree to the kanji will turn it into a forest [森] (mori). If only all kanji are as simple as this. One example, Hagane [鋼] (Steel). It's a combination of the root components Kane [金] (gold) and oka [岡] (hill). Now combining these two, the apparent meaning would become a "mountain of gold" wouldn't it? Which is totally different from its true meaning. The only reason I see why you need to break down the root components is for the purpose of searching for it in the kanji dictionary. Ryuki, I'm sure your familiar on how to search for kanji in a dictionary. But for the benefit of everyone, I'll explain this. As mentioned above, kanji's have a root component. Each root component has a number of strokes ranging from 1 to 17. As the traditional dictionary sorts the kanji in order of number of strokes. Then after you find the root component, you then count the strokes of the remaining components and search it in the subsection of the root component that you just found, where kanji with the same number of strokes are listed, and you search for that kanji in that list. It is really difficult to study kanji as you need to memorize thousands of kanji. Not to mention double that since kanji have two methods of reading (Kunyomi and Onyomi). Not even the Japanese themselves can memorize all the kanji. However, if you grew up learning chinese, it will be much easier for you to learn the kanji as Chinese characters are 90% similar to kanji, since Kanji is derived from Chinese, hence the onyomi reading. I have to admit, when I translate the Guyver VDF, I need a dictionary by my side because all that damn techinical stuff are hard to comprehend. I'm a mathematician dammit, not a scientist.
  6. I think there is something we all should remember about this. The Creators tested the Guyver unit on a human out of curiosity and the results were not what they expected. I would like to believe that they would not be able to factor in the pregnancy of a Human female. For one thing, does the Creators even have primitive methods of mating? Yes the Control Metal serves as a computer of the human body, imprinting the biological data of the host upon initial bonding. Thus returning the hosts biological status at that point upon every de-boosting. So any changes made in the physiology of the host would be returned to it's original state. This is what I wanted to point out about the scars after de-boosting. However, this option can only be viable if the condition that Sho and Agito hasn't aged a day since their first bio-boost. Would anybody like to defend that case?
  7. And finally the last few pics of the set. Good Night!
  8. One more pic to finish the first set: And another set:
  9. Here's another set of Hwang Mi Hee:
  10. One last post before I go to lala land. The lovely Hwang Mi Hee:
  11. Wow, I thought you going to Japan was a vacation. That's really great. I envy you. Let's celebrate by having some nice pics of Miwa Oshiro:
  12. Welcome to another session of the Japanese Word of the Week. This week we will be learning about the word "naru" [なる]. "Naru" literally means "to become", and is usually connected to the end of a noun to denote becoming that noun. example "Pairoto ni naru" or "become a pilot". [パイロト になる] There are other form of the word "naru" depending on how you use them. "Narimasu" is "will become", ie: "Isha ni narimasu" [医者になります](Become a doctor) "Narimashita" = became, ie: "Kyoushi wo narimashita" [教師になりました](Became a teacher) "Naritai" = want to be, ie: "Onna ni naritai" [女になりたい](Want to be a woman). This is getting a little difficult to feature as future subject will require readers to have basic knowledge of Japanese. Should we feature a kanji of the week instead?
  13. A bear, a lion and a chicken were talking, who's the most feared? Bear: I roar and forest trembles. Lion: I roar and the jungle shakes. Chicken: I cough and the whole world panics.
  14. The part about feeding energy to the baby gives me shudders at the outcome of the baby. If that happens, then you would be having a mutant baby that can cry particle beams. Obviously this is a joke and has nothing to do with the discussion. But really, we can't predict what the unit can do unless we are the author of it. Also, knowing what the Guyver unit is, would the mother really risk bio-boosting while pregnant? But before all this technical data about the Guyver, I used to believe that it's just a piece of armor that covers the flesh, and not some bio weapon that changes your insides. But before we dwelve further in to the details of this, would a recent injury be removed if the host bio-boosts then de-boosts? Once we have this established I think we will be able to determine as to what will happen to the baby.
  15. Some more of Chinatsu Wakatsuki:
  16. Or how about some pics of Azusa Yamamoto?
  17. You're moving? To where? Why? My questions might be overlooked after looking at some of Natashi Yi's lovely poses:
  18. How about some Jenny Chu:
  19. Note entirely sure about who this is, but this looks very yummy.
  20. More of Yua Aida:
  21. Here's some of Yua Aida:
  22. Alright. That's more like it. Here's some of my contributions:
  23. Aye, it's next week already. I've seen the preview of Gundam 00 unit from plastic models currently available on toy stores. Looks very impressive.
  24. Actually, there is a point to that. Since the baby would be a hindrance during combact, a weak point actually, and the armor might take that to the boost dimension. But I wonder how the organs are stored. Are they in suspended animation? If that is so, then that would mean if the female stayed in Guyver form for a very long time, the lenght of the pregnancy would exceed the usual nine months.
  25. And here's the last batch before I leave:
