- RomanFanboy - 12-23-2012 Funniest youtube series I have seen in a while. http://www.youtube.com/user/TheDoctrineman Excerpt: Doctrine Man and the Mysteries of Command Guidance Colonel Underpants: ... They are not performing to my expectations.' Doctrine Man: 'Yes Sir. What's the problem?' ... Doctrine Man: 'Sir. It might help if you issued some Guidance. Maybe tell them what your expectations are.' Colonel Underpants: 'I don't like to do that.' Still LOL. I think the most pure joy I've felt in a while. Watch it. I may be confused on the names. - DHBirr - 12-27-2012 It's not fanfic, but I find it too hilarious not to share -- from The Wavering of Haruhi Suzumiya: Quote:I know it's sudden, but let's put on our thinking caps.----- Big Brother is watching you.

Yes, you read that right. Step two of her master plan for Ending The War And Saving Two Worlds, right after 'Marry Hero!', is to introduce potatoes to the human agricultural package. I enjoyed both the manga and the first episode of the show - now available on Crunchyroll, other streaming sites, and torrented fansub - immensely.

As in, the same. Which version of the manga do you prefer? I have some favoritism for the Ishida portrayal, particularly since it's gotten farther than the others, but the Asami version has a fascinating prologue with a little girl reading the story in an odd library -- a little girl whose eyes, hair, and and the ornament at her throat look a lot like those of Asami's Demon Queen. Hmmmm.... One of many hilarious lines from the Ishida manga: Female Knight referring to Demon Queen, uh, excuse me, Crimson Scholar, as "that scholar with an annoying chest." I must now go to Crunchyroll. Thanks for the heads-up. ----- Big Brother is watching you.

It's possible, but I'd say that, given the amount of territory they decided to cover in the one episode we've seen so far, they haven't. Or at least, if they have, it's too soon to say. Yes, there's been a stylistic change in how the explanations are presented - using cuts of other characters to show things, rather than just having Demon Queen exposit - but I'd say that so far, the information's there.

Hmmmm.... The Ishida version is my default also, yeah, because of its faster schedule, but the less stylized, more detailed art style in the Asami version seems to me to emphasize the A-Plot of the two worlds and the effort to bring them to terms, as does the tone of the translation. On the other hand, while I suppose some people might be tired of the poly-romance angle that's my reading of the B-plot, I'm not, and Ishida gives that more attention, so. If not as much as Touge's... So, having been infected by the way the stories all use language, I guess you could say that I enjoy all of them. =========== =============================================== "V, did you do something foolish?" "Yes, and it was glorious." - classicdrogn - 01-06-2013 Ah, thank you for that critical info, Valles! I'll make sure to only read the Asami version, as I have zero interest in spineless harem weenieboy filler crap as compared to the Demon Queen, Ruby Eyes Scholar, successfully conquering the world through economics, agricultural improvement, and, yes, big boobies. Female Knight may be cute and all but enough damn triangling already, why can't a protag ever just have a healthy, happy relationship as refuge from the conflict generated elsewhere?

Eng., verb, 1st & 3rd pers. prsnt. sg. know, knows - Valles - 01-06-2013 'More attention' shouldn't be read as its being absent in Asami's take, you realize. Our flashbacks to the 'pre-opening scene' adventuring party are pretty clear about Female Knight and Magic User's interest, and there's a panel where Female Knight faints and is caught by Hero and his thought bubble comments on how light she is, which wouldn't be indicative in real life but probably is in a story... Maybe I should put it as Asami using finer brushstrokes. In any case, the biggest strain on Hero and Demon Queen's relationship has nothing to do with her competition. Hero's issue isn't indecision, but rather excessive self-sacrifice, and my own reading of things is that the question is whether Demon Queen, Female Knight, and Magician will team up to inform him that no, vanishing nobly into the sunset while they get on with their lives is not in the cards or if Demon Queen will get the message across on her own. Besides, Ishida's definitely the winner on the fanservice angle, as well as being about three times as far into the story. It's not that easy a choice to make. =========== =============================================== "V, did you do something foolish?"

At one point in the Touge Hiro version, Crimson Scholar exclaims, with reference to Female Knight, "It-it can't be! Why do I have to invite Hero's previous woman into my home!?" (right in front of both of them) and Hero says, "Don't say that she's my previous woman!" ----- Big Brother is watching you.

GrumblemutteretcActually that happens all the time... its just that such a relationship is basically completely ignorable unless its a freakish anomaly compared to the other relationships around them.. It can happen on stage, but is glossed over as completely boring filler... or your watching slice of life stuff and its likely (for me at least) to be an entire series of completely boring, if occasionally slightly amusing, filler. War series do what you want all the time... its just one of the people either dies or stays off stage. Well you could also watch shojo... but I find much of that to be mindless and a lot of it involves people that need to have a few run ins with an axe crazy slasher for being utter scum that we have lots of informed ability that the people involved are great, awesome people in a healthy happy relationship. If you wanted a series that has the relationships actually being worked out in a harem situation (every relationship with the male lead grows and evolves) where the participants are actually mature about it there is the largely ignored but good Shuffle!!. Seriously, the series is freakishly a deconstruction and a reconstruction of the harem genre at the same time... and it seems completely natural in progression. - classicdrogn - 01-06-2013 Really? I'll have to check that out, having previously skipped it as "Ugh, yet another harem." As for the normal relationship being offscreen because it's boring... if the characters involved are the leads, all it takes is the occasional hug, calling each other by endearments, a passing kiss or caress, the look of their faces - the little things in between landscape rearranging magic battles or whatever. L Gourry was a less oblivious idiot and Lina wasn't a damn tsundere in Slayers, frex. But, no haz ROFL -- "Anko, what you do in your free time is your own choice. Use it wisely.

Eng., verb, 1st & 3rd pers. prsnt. sg. know, knows - Necratoid - 01-07-2013 As I said the stable couples are ignorable by being features rather than the focus... I mean suprizingly few people realize that Goury is actually a quest reward from the OAV with Jockrock in it. You also have to remember that Gourry is a fighter in an Epic level campaign and a lot of the stuff he doesn't know is Knowledge (X) checks at DC 35 or so on a D20. Lets not even go into just how much SAN damage anyone listening in on their dinner talk would take. You can actually watch the Mazoku Lords and Xellos taking SAN damage at major plot point in series. If I wanted a single pairing with subtileness that is in a show no one mentions... Skip Beat. Its actually using that some of the main cast are broken inside (like the primary couple) and the guy running the company they work for is actually made it a major part of their job to work on fixing that. Oddly its a shojo and the only think they apparrently changed from the manga is the last of a rose border and sparkles flittering around the male of the couple. - Bob Schroeck - 01-07-2013 Folks, you have 8 posts left in which to either a) wrap this digression up or b) move it to its own thread.

Due to giant coincidence, Nanoha is in the museum on her day off with vivio. Has the following exchange as things go on: ---- "So how do we contact you?" Jack asked, although his eyes were on Vivio. Cute kid. He'd always had a soft spot for kids. Nanoha handed him a scrap of paper. "Here," she said. Jack took the scrap and looked it over. It was a series of numbers, seemingly random. He studied it a bit and then passed it to Carter. She looked it over, frowned, and then looked to Nanoha. "Okay, I give up. Radio frequency?" Nanoha blinked. "It's my cellphone number." She held up a perfectly normal phone, clamshell design, pink and white cover. "Oh," Carter stared for a moment, looking between the ubiquitous device and the phone number that suddenly made perfect sense. "How did you keep the service active from offworld?" she asked, lacking anything intelligent to say about her rather obvious blunder. "It's on my parents' plan," Nanoha said. ---- - classicdrogn - 01-10-2013 Tongue twisters heard recently- "Which that which is that that which which is that?"

The planet couldn't survive your offspring," he says, and covers my mouth with his hoof. "That perhaps you can be of assistance, vis-a-vis your current project perhaps being, inadequately or insufficiently staffed in the expert classes. The not inconsiderable gratitude of certain high government officials could be expected for allowing us to redirect your staffing problems to personnel. Although we could not provide direct assistance in any official capacity. And while the official to most greatly benefit would be unable to acknowledge your most welcome assistance, for fear of undoing the raison d'etre of the entire plan. I can say, with some confidence, that even in retirement, a wise voice and guiding hand would become available, and would be extremely fortuitous to a young pony whose start at court has been, shall we say, less than completely stellar, and would in fact change your complexion from the courtesan to the cosmopolitan. Any additional laurals from the success of your project or projects would be entirely your own and your staff's as you would care to disseminate those successes." "Do they teach you some special trick to put all those questions into one word? If so, I have to go to sergeant school," Hardwood answered, "He can go back to work. Outwardly, he seems normal, but I just watched him go from near-catatonia possibly suicidal, to 'normal' in the blink of an eye. That usually means they've made a decision, and the decision is usually to end their life." "Can you put me back in the world I came from?" She looks around.
