Yeah, figured it would be someone I'd never heard of. I'd never even heard of the show!

That's a pity, because the show is pretty much War and Peace in space. It is epic on a scale that no other anime has yet achieved, and it is probably one of the most thoughtful (albeit flawed) deconstructions of the old democracy vs autocracy argument that I've ever come across. Watching it is not going to be easy, though - given the 110 OVA episodes and dozens of other side stories!

The main point of idiocy is for the smart to have their lulz. Without human idiocy, trolling would not exist, and that's uncool, since a large part of my entertainment consists of mocking the absurdity and dumbassery of the world, especially the Internet.-MaggotMaster

My avatar is from a Toonami T-shirt that I thought had a really cool design. My sig is kind of under construction, but right now it's just the first (and my favorite) 2 passages from Rei's poem in episode 14.
Mountain... Heavy mountains. Things that change over time.
Sky... Blue sky. What your eyes can't see. What your eyes can see.

Gonna switch to this at some point in the week:
for so many reasons.

#2: I have a thing for chicks going berserk
#3: I'm wierd, something about a girl covered in the blood of her enemies is hot to me.
#4: ABS
Basically:
SPOILER: Show

You know there are one or two moments in OR/AS where I could have sworn they'd drawn Zinnia with an expression that I recognised as belonging to Shinji... Only, it's been so long since I last saw NGE that I don't remember which Shinji expression it would have been - but not a tame one, at the least.

*breaks own limit*
I thought of that scene also, and yet, I'm not certain if it's that one...
You know as I was writing that post about it before, I thought I could also be thinking of one of Asuka's expressions from '25 Harpies ... but, before I dig deeper into this hole, I've done the right thing and actually looked at screen captures of those scenes from from 19 & '25 and nope I cannot find the 'right one' I imagined as I saw Zinnia's expression in OR/AS.
I suppose I misplaced a memory of NGE or something - as I said, it has been a few years. Happens over time.

There's something indescribably sexual about it, I agree.

Antilock brakes are pretty fucking erotic, too.
Among the people who use the Internet, many are obtuse. Because they are locked in their rooms, they hang on to that vision which is spreading across the world. But this does not go beyond mere ‘data’. Data without analysis [thinking], which makes you think that you know everything. This complacency is nothing but a trap. Moreover, the sense of values that counters this notion is paralyzed by it.

Still keeping an eye on the news page and twitter feed, but I don't know when I'm going to be back on the forums. My avatar is reverting to the "Nuke is gone for an indefinite amount of time" avatar.
Shin Evangelion brought me back, five long years later.
Apophenia. Noun. The tendency to perceive a connection or meaningful pattern between unrelated or random things.
They called me the Quentin Tarantino of hentai.
The difference between a blow-up doll and a dakimakura.

I saw that show a year or two ago and had a good time with it. Glad to see it represented.

Mononoke-hime, you mean. Her name isn't "Princess Mononoke" like the English translations would have it, it's just San.
