it's harder to say, for me, because it doesn't roll off the tongue as easy as Gee-us. Gee-ahs requires more movement of the jaw. it doesn't sound as nice either when i hear it in the dub, but that's just me.

Perhaps it is merely my imagination, buy I sorta have the opinion that stuff like that, or Japanese in general, is a lot easier to pronounce for Europeans than it is for Americans.

Best saga was that one with the team of four evil lolis that in the end team up with the sailors.

That's the last one with Galaxia.

Actually, that's the Dead Circus/Amazoness Quartet arc of SuperS, not the Galaxia arc from Sailor Stars.

I'm still waiting for my a.f.k subs.

Isn't it amazing how everyone says they're dead, yet they're still releasing this series? Their sub is out now by the way.

Anime & Manga / Re: What Anime are you Currently Watching?

Started Fate/Stay Night. I liked the first episode and currently downloading 2nd ep.

You might want to consider reading the visual novel instead. Explains a lot more than the anime does, plus the mishmash of the different routes is pretty screwed up and does anything but help understand what's going on.

Hopefully, the movies don't turn out to be [parasitic bomb]. I don't if Sunrise anime was known for their epic storylines sincve it is always asbout the mechs.

I said compilation movies, not actual movies. There's no new storylines or anything, these are just re-edited, tweaked recap films that are direct-to-DVD. Most that can be hoped for are new scenes here and there.

Besides, the Black Rebellion film is already out, I believe came out before R2 started. But for whatever reason, nobody so far bothered to sub it even though the raws are out there.

What? WHAT MOVIE?! YOU'RE TELLING ME THERE WILL BE A GODDAMN MOVIE?!

......

Not sure if want.

Like the first season before, R2 will get a compilation movie. The first one was called "Black Rebellion" and was much more like Taniguchi originally envisioned the first season to go, at least from a storytelling perspective, like the scene where Lelouch gets unmasked by Suzaku being at the very beginning of the movie and thus the whole story being a flashback. Now, R2 gets it's own compilation movie entitled "Zero Requiem" which will be on sale on DVD and Blu-ray by the end of July. According to CD Japan, it will feature "new dubbing parts", there for I am guessing that it will be enhanced in some way, just like the Gundam SEED / SEED DESTINY movies. The first CG Movie didn't have any new footage, but new dialogue in form of C.C. narrating the events.

Note the Zero Requiem stuff in the bottom right corner. So...I guess the Zero Requiem movie will have an extended ending?

Funny, listening to the mere concept sounds horrible, yet I found it to be a interesting concept.

Like Mobile Fighter G Gundam. You look at the concept on paper and think "This is nuts". But when you watch it, it's as awesome as it can get.

Hmmm... looks like crow and Jack get their asses handed to them and Yusei is the only one left.

Did you ever suspect that it wouldn't be like this? Yusei is the main character afterall. The same thing already happened in the past, like when Kaiba fell during his Tag Duel with Yugi against Dartz, or when Johan was defeated while fighting with Judai against Fujiwara.

"Silence...my slave!"

What?

"Yomigaeru, waga shimobe yo!" translates to "Revive/Be revived, my servant(s)!", especially given Vile temporarily resurrects his Numbers from Z3.

There really are some wierd translations in there.

Turns out it's actually a working, fully functional mobile suit with nuclear reactor and everything and it'll be used to crush North Korea.

It will be on display for only TWO MONTHS, starting July 11th. After these two months, it will be disassembled again and right now nobody knows what will happen to the statue after that.

X / Re: Sigma Virus

« on: June 15, 2009, 04:39:23 PM »

As for how it got spread, I can't comment until someone can verify on when Zero actually started roaming around.

See Zan's timeline:

21XX
-Cain’s journal entry of December 10:
Sigma has been commanding the Maverick Hunters for about two years now. The actions of Sigma and his staff of Hunters have stopped Irregulars from harming humans. According to Cain it’s time everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, Dr. Cain is a bit concerned about X. X seems to lack the self-confidence to progress on the course Dr. Light planned for him. But Dr. Cain is also sure that, with time, X will find his own path in life. (US: Sigma has been commanding the Maverick Hunters for about two months now, May 16)
||
(
-Zero is discovered and awakened from his seal by the intrusion of Reploids (Most likely Garma’s unit of Maverick Hunters) near the place in which he was sleeping. He is officially discovered in the same area where X and other ancient technology was also discovered, an area that because of this was made forbidden, giving it the name of “Forbidden Area.”
=>
-After wiping out Garma’s unit, Maverick Hunters succeed in cornering Zero inside of an abandoned warehouse in the Rocky Mountains. To avoid sacrificing any more men, Sigma decides to face this red Maverick by himself. During the battle, Zero tatters Sigma’s pride and self-confidence, taking great pleasure in torturing Sigma after having ripped off one of his arms in combat. Sigma eventually manages to get the upper hand by punching Zero in the head as Zero experiences a mysterious headache phenomena, displaying a “W” inside of his helmet gem. As a result of this battle the Sigma Virus transfers from Zero to Sigma. After the battle Sigma orders the red Maverick to be brought to Dr. Cain for study.
=>
-After Dr. Cain’s study, Zero awakens and shows no sign of Maverick behavior. Zero has miraculously transformed into a good Reploid and forgotten about his original objective to destroy X. Sigma takes Zero under his watch and Zero joins the Maverick Hunters, eventually becoming an SA-rank Hunter part of Sigma’s 17th Elite.

Zero / Re: About Omega

« on: June 15, 2009, 04:35:07 PM »

1. As much as Vile despised Repliroids, he needed one to make his visions come true. Zero had the potential, but his conciousness was in the way. During research, Zero's conciousness was separated from the main body (presumably his Brain Chip like in X2, or actual Cyber Soul). When Vile claimed Zero's body for himself after the Irregular War was over, he made a new conciousness that was meant to obey his every word, and that conciousness was Omega. It's interesting to note though the Omega does not seem to be the smartest guy around while in his armored form, barely able to form a whole sentence, yet he can talk just fine in his released form, so I guess bursting all that armor gave him access to more mental capacities in order to handle such a powerful body.

2. Designed to function with the Darkelf to take control over every Repliroid on the planet. The difference is that Elpis simply absorbed the Darkelf and let her take control of him (somewhat). When he released the full power of the Darkelf, he completely mutated his body, while prior to that, his body already had been altered via Cyberspace manipulation. Omega on the other hand kept the Darkelf captive. He controlled her. And like Elpis, he underwent a transformation upon sucking her in, with his body changing color and later mutating when releasing every ounce of power she had.

3. From what it sounds like in the book, Omega was created DURING Elf War. Certainly Vile had been working on him the entire time but Omega himself only started appearing on the battlefields of Earth until the last act of it, presumable even after Zero got a copy body and stole the Darkelf from Vile, leaving him with nothing but Omega and mindless Mechaniroids like the Golems.

4. Fancy animation I guess. Hair would probably be in the way when the main body was interacting with the armor.

Well, Angral seems hardly appropriate because of the facial differences. Plus, didn't that guy appear on Coruscant while the invasion was going on? This unidentified Sith however, made his move before the actual invasion forces appeared.

And huh, Samus Aran crossed Dimensions and became a Mandalorian eh?

I don't think they'll make Revan fail.

He went to the Unknown Regions after his memories came back and according to Kreia, he did go there to stop the True Sith. Seeing as the True Sith invaded the Republic 300 years later, I'd call that a failure. Well, 300 years from then, he's dead anyway.

From what I've been reading so far, all the stuff that's after Return of the Jedi is kinda meh, especially the stuff where Luke and his buddies are all already over 60 years old and still look like they're in their late 20s (Mara Jade WTFTW), though the Trawn Trilogy certainly was nice. EU Book wise, I like the Old Republic stuff, especially the Darth Bane novels, these are awesome. There needs to be more like that, I want novels for the Mandalorian Wars. Cannot wait for Dynasty of Evil. In the meantime I started reading those Republic Commando books.

So Quickie, what do you think, that kinda Darth Vader-ish Sith Lord in the Deceived Trailer, do you think that's the Sith Emperor? From the info we've got, it's said the guy has been around for a couple of centuries and this guy looks exactly like that. As cool as all that stuff is, it's also a little sad because that means Revan failed.
