For that matter, didn't you say something about 303 also being a reference to a group of Polish pilots who had made it to exile in the UK, and fought together as a special unit under the RAF banner? I think it was called the Kosciusko Company or something. I vaguely remember you talking about th...

Is this in reference to something in particular I said? It is in response to something you said on this page or the one before, but now that I think of it I'm not sure what it was, lol. I'll check and see if I can find it again. Looking at it now, it's a response to your reply to Ray, w...

Coming back to this thread, I still don't feel like we're any closer to figuring out what Anno was trying to say. Of course, perhaps that's the point, since it's been established that he's not going to say what he had in mind, and that it's on us to figure it out. What bother...

I would like to recommend Teppuu , an MMA-themed manga. Teppuu is fascinating from two completely different perspectives. First is the technical martial arts aspect; it is probably the best portrayal of real martial arts ever seen in manga or anime, or at least one of the best. MMA fans and people w...

Maru, I think you are talking about this one http://grummancat.deviantart.com/art/So-now-what-do-we-do-164438632 Not sure you can pin it down to one word because there is a mixture of emotions going on. This was right before they did it for the first time. Asuka was wondering how hard she was gonna...

FIVE YEARS Awesome. I forget when exactly it was, probably 2011 or early 2012, shortly after I got back into Evangelion, but I found some of your early art on dA. I really liked it even then, though I had no idea that there was a comic attached to it. The one that sticks out most in my memory is th...

No worries about the long delay. I imagine your life has got to be really busy between family, hobbies, and work. I think I was being overly harsh on Kaworu, in part because I saw some of myself in him. It's very annoying seeing someone make the same mistakes you made. I am glad that Kaworu step...

Make it happen, Grum! That's too damn good to pass up.

I know, right? At the very least it ought to be an omake, but the more I think about it, the more I'd like to see it worked into the actual story!

Just finished reading it. Excellent work as ever! My thoughts below: I wish that what Kaworu had said instead of that babble about letting Rei know what is in his heart was "I have made a complete and total ass of myself." Because really, he has. I really don't like Saburo, but he has ...

I thought Shenhua was sexy, personally. Not as sexy as Revy, but still quite a looker. I can see how her English language voice would be very grating, since they had to drive home the fact that her English wasn't good at all. I'm not sure if a native Japanese speaker would have had the same ...

This is relevant to my interests! I have to agree, Chow Yun Fat is the only person who could play Mr. Chang. Mr. Chang is literally an expy of Chow Yun Fat. On the other hand, given that I'm pretty sure Chow Yun Fat is mostly done with making films, Byung Hun Lee looks like he'd fill in nice...

I'm glad I was able to encourage you, Grum! As a matter of fact, reading your note actually helped get me fired up to go back to a writing project of my own. I hadn't really abandoned it, but I wasn't really working hard on it, and I often had moments where I thought of just junking it, ...

Don't even worry about how long it takes. I shouldn't even bring it up anymore, it doesn't actually bother me that much. While I may wish I could get it all at once, at the end of the day I'd rather it be done right than done fast. With you while you might get sidetracked and while y...

Now this is a hell of a way to close out volume two. I won't say that you managed to pull an Empire Strikes Back, where the second installment in a trilogy is the best of the bunch, since volume one was really good (even down to the old, scratchy, somewhat amateurish art... yes, GrummanCat, ...

I can do with 8 or more hours of shuteye. The more the better Anything below just makes me feel terrible Thanks. I suspect eight is probably the minimum for me as well... nine would probably be better. Sometimes I seem to work alright on six or seven, but it never lasts for very long. Wait until yo...

Lack of sleep is what kills you at the gym not joking That would explain my chronic case of suck in the gym, at least in part (FML when my squat has only gone up about 80 pounds in a year and a half and my bench barely at all). Out of curiosity, how much do you find works for you? I suspect...

In CoL's gif, is the generic suit guy supposed to be somebody specific? It might be David Cameron. I did an image search of him and while the real Cameron is fleshier about the face, they look somewhat similar. http://i.imgur.com/IPzvSjy.jpg LOL. I applaud that gentleman for living up to his na...

Today, I realized that drumming every day has not given me biceps. It gave me giant face-smashing forearms instead. Why is this in the RML thread, you ask? Because nobody else has giant FACE SMASHING FOREARMS. I love my life. Face smashing forearms are pretty awesome, although most people don't...

This is definitely true. From day one, you're taught the basics of effective striking, including defense, basic strategy and useful combinations. There's no mysticism involved and everything you're taught is supposed to help you knock out the opponent with maximum efficiency. For this r...

Thank you! :) I've practiced it for over four years. Back in the day, I was a prospect and I almost became an instructor, since I was one of the best guys in the gym, but I had to stop because I needed to focus on studying. Nowadays, I probably wouldn't last half an hour without feeling...
