A concept piece on First Impact.

I believe it depends on how it reaches the individual. In light of the topic, I think Kaji said it best: "...knowledge of suffering makes you all the more capable of kindness to others, because that’s different from being weak." I might paraphrase it this way: if you don't like or rela...

Perhaps not, but do consider that the candle that burns twice as bright only burns half as long, and threatens to set fire to things around it that it was only ever intended to illuminate. Moderation in all things.

OT: Having trouble coping with my technical abilities vs the current US job market. It was true what my dad said, "drop out of school and you will need to get used to generous helpings of 'FML'". I know it will turn around, but today seems to feel like "when you're up to y...

Just out of curiosity, when you're rotting in the ground what part of the body do the worms chow down on first? Generally, I'd say the skin. I doubt they bury much else these days. I'm no mortician, but I did have to ID my father when he passed away some years ago, and he was uh, "...

Okayokayokay, so I had too much to drink, made an AMV, found this thread and decided if I can't get a decent critique here, it can't be had. Software used is VideoPad video editor by NCH software. Pro features eventually expire without registering, but continues to run. Save work often, it will cras...

Deadman Wonderland season 1. Pretty good, but a cliffhangar ending. Needs a second season.

Waiting for the completed tetra. Laziness I guess.

Prob means Gendo lied about knowing how the Geofront was originally filled in (ref: "excavated").

Moving into Fate Stay Night (the movie).

What I enjoyed about the whole scene was that Rei seemed to have made a simple but effective command decision in the field. Simply being in an EVA with an A.T field was no help, as her own body (and Shinji's) developed a degree of invasion. This angel meant business, so time was of the e...

It probably doesn't mean anything, but something occurred to me just recently: -- Asuka gets mindraped by Arael, and Shinji's father stops him from intervening. -- Asuka gets dismembered by the MPEs and Shinji's mother stops him fron intervening. -- Asuka gets choked out by Shinji (...

I'd have to believe that if they were even only childhood acquaintances, it would be Asuka to remember and take advantage of any lingering memories (i.e. "you were a baka then, and you're still a baka now") type references.

Ayup, been having some posting fun there already m'sef!

Interesting. How would you redesign it? Do the smart thing and just replace it with a chopper? I'd redesign the V-22 to upsize and centralize the power plant and somehow "driveshaft" the outboard blades. Seems it would increase overall structural integrity and tend to improve stabilit...

I have never watched a episode of Elfen Lied before, and judging by dat image I was half expecting something completely different, my opinion is subject to change after watching the series. Actually I did wind up checking out the first episode speaking of which Elfen Lied episode 1: That was the hu...

WOOT... Now all you have to do is stay hands-off. Glad I'm not in your shoes!

I don't recall where I found mine. It appealed to me since it seemed to show Shinji having a serious 'nads' moment.

"Scarred" is a stretch at my age, but I'll go with Naoko's homicide of Rei I. I could barely see Rei even getting a decent ass-warming over the deal, seeing as how Rei's inquiry was rather innocent of anything proactively accusatory, per se'. I had a similar experience myse...

Enjoying a touch of the Elfen Lied. Nyu is a bit shallow, but Lucy's got it goin' on!
