What would be your "Contract Power" ? And the "Conscience" you must pay?

10 months 1 day ago

"Power: Ability to see the future. Also able to take a certain object from the future.
Medium: Whole body fully submerged in any liquid
Obeisance: Loss of a certain memory from the past. Which memory is erased is uncertain.

I think it's a real double-edged sword.

Kind of like that lady opera singer who had to

for her obeisance. She had the power but her obeisance could potentially cause her to lose that power eventually. "

BREAKING NEWS: Steve

"I didn't believe it when my friend told me he died. Then I checked it out and then found out it was authentic. A sad, sad loss I believe. Though his methods can get pretty insane and stuff, but he did get people to watch his shows about animals and the preservation of them.

He probably achieved his purpose in life and I'm sure he's accomplished whatever he had to do in his life. He brought laughter into this guy and some interesting information to boot. At least he died doing what he loves."

The eight planets of the Solar System

1 year 10 months ago

"Zealkai, you do realise it takes more effort to unlearn what you've learnt? So a simple change right now is merely adjusting our memories as what is the "correct" number of planets now - however, what's not that simple is to unlearn the belief that Pluto is a planet to us. =\

Something like that. I'm confusing myself.

Maybe all the high and mighty scientists should just decide to bring back the planet for convenience sakes. *nod*

Ignorance is bliss, no?"

...Yep.

I don't really see how this is a major change to all of us although it does kinda shake your scientific foundations a little. Kinda like how Alexander Graham Bell may have NOT invented the telephone (but that's a sidetrack).

How will this discovery affect all of us? Not too much in my humble opinion."

In all honesty though, I think it would be better for the anime team to put Bleach "on hold" and wait a year so the manga progresses enough on its current plot arc and then make the anime adaptation of it. At least I'd rather wait a whole year without Bleach than having a whole year of filler eps.

I agree with you and Dias on this one.

But with the Bound, they're not contributing to the story at all. They're no where in the story as the story thus far has shown - they're not interested in the strifes that's going on. The only thing that might save them to be involved in the storyline is that they could be manufactured by Soul Society. Like Kon. But if that's the case, they should get Kon more involved in the story rather than making him the kick-around-stepped-on mascot.

And there are some parts that seem to be almost tinkering with how the actual story in the manga goes. For example, in the manga, when "Ichigo & Friends" return from Soul Society, Uryuu Ishida says that the next time we meet we'll be enemies. This is consistant in the manga. However, in the anime as it is right now, what he said was nullified. Right now, that's the very obvious flaw that I saw. The other that's unconfirmed is how Uryuu's gonna restore his powers. Is he going to get them in the fillers? Or will the anime follow the arc back to the actual way of how he's gonna get his powers back.

Still, people that follow both Bleach and Naruto say that the Bleach filler eps are way better than Naruto's, maybe because Kubo Tite supervises the filler eps?...*shrugs*

Oh yeah, it's better. Cause the Naruto ones are brainless and you'd probably want to burn yourself to death rather than watch through the whole set, if you've bought it."

"Na, not really. People who bleed at the nose are rather predictable. There aren't many anime that doesn't have that happening so it's kind of like an expected reaction now. It's quite rare to see anyone NOT bleed at the nose at naked women. It's kind of like a sub-rule of anime =D

Bleed in the nose when exposed to nudity.

Ah, my apologies. I didn't respond to your initial peeve about how guys can't handle women. It's an exaggeration in anime, dude. If you were suddenly exposed to nude women, how'd you react? I don't think you'd get a nose bleed but I think you'd be quite stunned. "How should I react now?"

Yeah, animators make it so that these people can't handle women cause generally, they probably can't handle it that well haha. They're animators! They draw according to how the author wanted it.

You should be asking how come anime girls lose their clothes or expose themselves, by accidents or otherwise, so easily."

What's with Bleach?

1 year 11 months ago

"Don't know about you guys but I'm wondering what's going on with Bleach. So we're in a filler period now but does the music has to be so much like Naruto's music? I'm afraid of what this might suggest... that Bleach go do something stupid like Naruto and have so many episodes of fillers (I feel sad for those who bought the Naruto series).

Maybe I'm just being paranoid and about to go crazy waiting for Bleach to get back to the actual story (Naruto too for that matter). I like watching long series but the fillers are absolutely pointless.

I wonder when's Bleach gonna finish with the fillers and get it over with the Bound. They're not that interesting imho. I'd rather be watching how Ichigo deals with his hollow issues and stuff like that. Someone tell me why Bound deserves to remain in?"

End of Gundam SEED Destiny

"It's definitely predictable, that's why it's Gundam =D It's not an anime known for fantastic plots and twists. Just "whoa", "wow" and "that again?" The DESTINY Gundam was cool in the attacks but kinda... uninteresting. We've got 3 main-character looking bots for goodness sake. Impulse + Freedom + Destiny (Strike not included cause it got wasted soon as it appeared). That's a lot of white and blue mecha. The Akatsuki mecha has my vote for coolest design although practically, it's going to be a weird mecha cause you gotta polish the darn thing to shine in order to reflect XD"

End of Gundam SEED Destiny

"Gundam SEED Destiny has finally ended. I like the ending, personally, it satisfied me but not so much that I'm not left thinking about the show afterwards. The ending episode wasn't rushed nor was it too draggy to me, it was just nice. What do you guys think?

I personally liked how Mwu regained his memories, I didn't expect him to be where he was when he got them back. Shinn was defeated but the question is whether he can continue with his life or will he still be stuck in the past? Most probably he'll move on since the voice of Gil is no longer. Freedom, Justice, Eternal and the Archangel still decided the end due to war experience and mostly, because they're too friggin' elite. The Messiah fortress went down too quick in my opinion, it seemed to only possess the Neo Genesis and shields.

All in all, a great show. Reason why I love Gundam SEED Destiny is due to the human factor that's so strongly emoted."
