Gurren Lagann is entirely as MANLY ROBOT PUNCHING AND/OR DRILLING as advertised.

If you should manage to track down licitness-impaired copies, be aware of three things:

1) Episode 16 is just a clip show, so it's not usually included.
2) Episode 6 is a mostly clip show interspersed with some of the most blatant fanservice known to man and/or god. We're talking bathhouse full of naked bunnygirls blatant.
3) The Japan Escalation Rule (a trip to the corner grocery store will kick off a chain of events culminating in the defense of the world and/or universe) is in full effect.

I'll probably just get 'em the legit way once the series comes out. It got licensed.

1) Oh, recap episodes, how I hate you so.
2) Oh, Gainax.
3) ... this is relevant to my interests, because that is the lifeblood of crazy super robot shows. :woop:

NIGHT PATROL: A Sakura Taisen Fanfic by Jemu Nekketsu

Ichiro was making his usual nightly rounds of the Imperial Theatre when he thought he heard something weird. "It sounded like someone fell on the front lawn," he thought. Holding his lantern aloft (for it made him feel giddy when he used a lantern to light his patrols rather than a flashlight) and set off toward the noise.

"There- the bushes!" he thought, noting the whispered words and rustling coming from there. Utilizing his Navy training, he was able to get quite close and was surprised by what he discovered.

"Oh, lick me faster, yes, Sakura-chan," moaned Sumire, her hands pushing Sakura's dark head against the junction of her legs.


Sakura lifted her head, and Ichiro could see the moisture on her lips gleaming in the light of the full moon. "Sumire-chan," she purred, "Show me how you want me to please you, please, sempai."

With that Sumire put her hands on Sakura's shoulders and gave her a little push. This time it was now Sakura on her back, and she helped her sempai to do away with the fastenings of her skirts. "I don't believe this, they're actually-" Ichiro couldn't finish his thoughts, fascinated by the sight of the proud "Top Star of Teito" going down on her 'rival,' and seemingly giving both of them pleasure as Sumire demonstrated how she wanted it. If he wasn't hard as a rock then, Sakura's moans would have made him so.

Ichiro couldn't take the pain anymore; his great wyrm had awakened, and like any dragon before it sought a virgin sacrifice to appease its hunger. He conceded however, that virgin or no, any sacrifice would do, and fumbled with his pants to allow the beast a scent of the night air and the sight of its dinner. Sensing its tension grow as it watched the actresses blissfully unaware of their audience, he began to stroke it.
...


"Far be it from me to stop such a beautiful love. Though I haven't experienced it yet, having joined the Navy at an early age to leave my abusive father who beat me up, thus being estranged from my sister, the only one who really understood me, I do know it when I see it." He released them, and watched the lengthening shadows of the trees on the grass. "And when I see it, I feel happy and yet sad. Happy, that my belief that such a love existed was not wrong, and sad that I've yet to- yet to-" He drew a ragged breath.

"All I ask is this: that you share that wonderful love that you two have with me. I don't ask for all of it, just what you feel you could give me straight from your hearts. Just a little bit of love can mean so much..." Unexpectedly, he broke into a sob, for the strands of the web he was weaving were digging in perilously tight around his heart, realizing indeed that he had not lied to them. Ever.

...

They spent the next moments arranging their clothing on the ground to make a blanket of sorts. When all was ready, Ichiro was pushed down on the makeshift mattress followed by two giggling, nubile, female bodies. Before he was totally buried under warm, willing female flesh, he managed to steal a glimpse at his watch.

It read twelve midnight. Five hours before sunrise.

It was the best dawn watch that Ichiro ever had.

Four hours later, he roused the two wonderful women who had allowed him to induct them into the world of worldly men and women. Warm from sleep, they cuddled against him, but finally he got them awake with the reminder, "If anyone discovers our little secret, it will be the end for all of us."

They fixed themselves up as best as they could, and snuck back in to their separate rooms.

They were of course unaware of a little golden blond head that watched them as they made their way back to their quarters...
That's the abridged version. The rest is here. The lesson here is...

IRIS IS WATCHING YOU ALWAYSSSS! For I am the goddess and I see all! Enjoy your worthless unions of the flesh while you can, for soon all the world shall cry out in unison as I feast upon them! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Honestly, none of the characters are really all that like the Sakura Wars characters. There are some homages in them, and they fill similar positions (Millfeue as the 'female lead,' Ranpha as her sidekick/rival/friend/semi-foil, etc.) but the Forte-Maria one's about as close an analog as you get and even then it's not that similar. And in my opinion the GA characters are better.

I'm glad people liked my comedy "update." If there's a demand, I could start up a Galaxy Angel Let's Play, but I'm a touch pressed for time at the moment since classes are back on and everything's a little messy. Besides, I'd hate to rip too heavily off this thread while it's still going on, and not only because I want to see it come to a conclusion myself. Although that is the main reason. I'm also not entirely sure I could be as comedic as Spirit Armor.

The In-A-Nutshell explanation: Galaxy Angel is crack incarnate. The Galaxy Angel games, however, run in a similar vein to Sakura Wars, except 1) it's in space and in the future, and 2) the mecha action part is more like an RTS.

It's a relatively decent series. :bonfrog:

... I guess she'd be like... I don't know, the bastard child of Iris and Rei Ayanami, but that'd be doing Vanilla a great disservice.

Spent two days catching up with this thread, and I'm glad it hasn't gone too far. Very funny stuff from a lot of people in this thread.

Now, with that said, I'm going to cast my vote for Kohran.

Glad you're enjoying it so far! :D Really? Only two days? God, I need to step up the pace. Also, vote noted.

... And in my opinion the GA characters are better.

Perhaps, at least where the first games are concerned. Plotwise, though... well, Galaxy Angel's second and third games (Moonlit Lovers and Eternal Lovers) sorta make me cry tears of blood. :gonk:

I'm glad people liked my comedy "update." If there's a demand, I could start up a Galaxy Angel Let's Play, but I'm a touch pressed for time at the moment since classes are back on and everything's a little messy. Besides, I'd hate to rip too heavily off this thread while it's still going on, and not only because I want to see it come to a conclusion myself. Although that is the main reason. I'm also not entirely sure I could be as comedic as Spirit Armor.

I think you'd be able to pull it off pretty well, if that comedy update is any indication. :patriot:

Ahahaha, oh god this loving thread. It's almost 6 here, and I've been up all night marathoning this LP.

And I've been in stitches the entire time, it's just so perfect. Spirit armor, never change. (Except the pace, I'll be expecting the rest of the game done when I wake up in 6-7 hours tia)

... oh, god, you pulled an all-nighter for this thread? :xd:

Thanks a lot- I'll be sure to, uh, not change. :shobon: ... well, I guess I'll have to pull a 110-hour spree in order to get the game done in 6-7 hours- waitasec.


... next update will be somewhat shorter than usual because I have to wake up in five hours and I'm running out of time fast.


EDIT: Make that four hours. :gonk:

Once they got the set arranged in such a way that it WON'T loving fall over and crush the actresses, the orchestral pit, and/or the front row seats, the Flower Division assembles in the salon, complete at last!

... Kanna, my girl, you need to work on your conversation skills. :gonk: I mean, really-- "man, I can crush rocks with my bare hands! Just imagine what I could do with a human's skull!!" is probably the perfect way to get an awkward silence going.

[Kanna]

But then I just sorta punched reality inna face until it admitted that I was badass enough to swim all the gently caress way back to the Imperial Capital, so it was awriiiight.

[Sumire]

... punched... reality?

[Kanna]

Yeah, he was this whiny little monocle-wearing punk in one of those fancy seafaring uniforms, with a pegleg and all. He even had a parrot on his shoulder and everything!

[Sumire]

...

[Kanna]

... what? What're you staring at that newspaper so intently for?

[Sumire]

.... Kanna, you just gave a perfect description of the deceased ship captain whose broken, bloated corpse was found washed up on a beach in Okinawa this morning.

[Kanna]

Haha, yeah. It's funny how the world works, ain't it?
----

[Sumire]

Well, it's not as if anyone was actually worried about you anyway...

[Iris]

But... Sumire was the one who was the most worried, right~?

[Sumire]

Wh... what are you saying?! You little brat...

[Iris]

INSOLENT FOOL, YOU DARE CONTRADICT ME?!

Why, of course! You don't really think that I would be scared of YOU, right? After all...

Yup, it's the same old gossipy, god-defying, frighteningly dysfunctional group of Wakiji murderers! :frogbon:

[Kohran]

So ya went all th' way t' Okinawa to train in karate...
Haah... you really went far away, huh....


[Kanna]

Hehe, I guess. It's where I was born, too... and Okinawa IS the best place to go train!
... huh? By the way, where's Maria?

Well, that's not at ALL suspicious or stupidly vague, LET'S DO IT. :iamafag:

[Ogami]

Sure! I don't have a clue what you're planning, but I'll join you.

...

Yeah, I've said it before, but I'll say it again: if Tokyo's future is in the hands of this guy, then we're all hosed.

[Kanna]

That's the spirit! You sure know how to cut a long story short, Captain!



Fun Fact: Ichiro Ogami was the only person in his class to pass "Clothes Changing" and "Jumping Through Windows" with flying colors, though he had a tendency to forget his pants. Also, he is able to Utilize His Navy Training to spy on hot lesbian make-out scenes.

It's a very special academy. :downs:

[Kanna]

How about you show me... the kinds of fighting skills that they taught you in the Navy?

[Ogami]

Sure. No ties, no belts, no cross-dressing, FINAL DRESSING ROOM.

[Kanna]

[Ogami]

Eh?!

[Sumire]

Fare thee well.... Ensign...













Dear Diary:

That was at three o' clock in the afternoon. Five hours have passed since Kanna took the Ensign down to the exercise room, and the sun has long since set.

For the past four hours, we have all been able to hear a high-pitched shrieking noise emanating from the basement, accompanied by a duet of bones and machinery breaking in multiple places. The screaming was too effeminate to be anyone but the Ensign, may he rest in peace... tragically, no one could spare the time to go and see how they were doing.

The Ensign is most likely dead, Maria has locked herself in her room, and Vice Commander Ayame is in pursuit of Manager Yoneda, who has commandeered the Rolling Thunder in a last-ditch attempt to purchase more alcohol for the theater. Without a clear authority to guide those of us who remain, we have been left to our own devices... discipline is fast deserting us.



Surprisingly enough, Kohran kept herself busy by tending to a small garden in the theater's courtyard. She has not yet revealed to us exactly what it is she is attempting to grow, but much of the grass surrounding her mysterious plants has died off, as if the crops had sucked the life force out of the surrounding vegetation.

When I asked her, all she told me was "Well, I started messin' with my chemistry set again last night," and spouted this babble about "genetic engineering" and "sin against God" before crowing "We're gonna have some freshly-harvested turnipork meat fer dinner tonight~!"

I don't think I'll ever understand that silly girl.



Sadly, Kohran hadn't thought to put up a scarecrow to dissuade local birds from eating whatever it is she was trying to grow.


---


... she managed to improvise, however. In the meantime, Kasumi and Yuri are trying to figure out how best to hide the crow entrails splattered all over the windows facing the courtyard, and there is still the matter of hiding the Koubu-shaped hole punched through the walls... how distasteful.

On a lighter note, I am beginning to worry about Sakura. I am starting to think that she's been spending a bit too much time around Iris; I cannot remember the last time I saw her walking about by herself, and it is beginning to interfere with her practicing.



She seemed fine when I asked her how things were doing, however. For some odd reason, I can't seem to remember much of the details surrounding our conversation; I get the vague feeling that Sakura was simply a bit tired, and that she had promised to take Iris to the local amusement park while the Ensign was busy.



Oddly enough, she kept whispering something along the lines of "h... e... l... p... ... m... e..." I believe that Sakura may also be getting something of an allergy to sunlight and fresh air. In my humble opinion, she simply needs to take better care of her skin! Really, Sakura doesn't have nearly enough common sense; how can such a country bumpkin even THINK to compete with the theater's top star?

I must be off now, however; I must get back to monitoring the servants who are currently engaged in assessing the current state of the finances I have stored here in the theater. Iris may be attempting to tap into the vast amounts of evil energy stored within the cursed gold ingots that had been passed down from generation to generation of the Kanzaki conglomerate, so I shall have to get back to you later, diary.

~Sincerely Yours,
Sumire Kanzaki








[Ogami]

... sparring?

----
[Kanna]

You okay, Captain? You seem kinda out of it.

[Ogami]

No, it's just... I feel like I've been beaten to a bloody pulp, dreamt about some weird floozies in space, and then woken up and/or revived by some miraculous power of government.

[Forte]

Hahaha, now you're just being silly.

[Ogami]

Yeah, I guess I-

[Ogami]

...

[Ogami]

... :tinfoil:
----

[Kanna]

... aah. I'll throw some attacks at you, and you block 'em.

[Ogami]

Eh?! I mean, I don't know karate too well... there's no way I'll be able to block all of them!


----


[Kanna]

First up's a low kick. Next, there'll be a straight punch to the stomach. Finally, I'll be throwing a high roundhouse kick.



----
[Ogami]

Alright, let's DO this thi-



[Ogami]

GREAT SCOTT!!

[Kanna]

Hahaha... whoops, my bad.

[Ogami]

K-Kanna, aren't you supposed to TELL me what you're going t-



[Ogami]

GLGHBKSGH

[Kanna]

Hahaha... whoops, my bad.

[Ogami]

.. well, THIS would explain why I can't remember the events of the past five hours.
----



[Ogami]

Here it comes! First up is...!



[Ogami]

A low kick!

THWOCK

... and given how hard Kanna hits, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Ogami lost the use of his right arm.

[Kanna]

Not bad, Cap'n! You're pretty good if you can block one of my kicks!

[Kanna]

Next's a straight punch! Now then, think you'll be able to stop THIS?!



[Ogami]

A direct punch to my stomach... I'll block it!

WHUMPF

And Ogami loses the use of his left arm.

[Kanna]

So you blocked my straight punch, eh? Looks like I've underestimated you.


----


Well, THAT was a ridiculously easy game, now leOHSHI-



NOT AGAIN


----


----
[Ogami]

... well, my front teef're knocked out, I fink I shwallowed my back teef, and I fink I have an overbite now.
----

[Ogami]

Cough, cough...
No, that was an amazing kick...
... everything went white for a second there.



----


[Kanna]

Even though we're takin' it easy here, for you to be able to take all of my attacks like that...

----
[Kanna]

You're the first guy to actually SURVIVE a sparring session! The last guy I tried this with ended up havin' his skull shattered like a melon in a meat grinder.

[Ogami]

... no wonder you're the only successor to the Kirishima style of karate.
----

[Kanna]

Whew... still, it feels great to move your body around like this, huh.
... that's right! Captain, aren't you hungry after practicing like that?
If you'd like, I'll treat you to Chef Kanna's Deluxe Special Meal!
How about it, Captain. Wanna join me for a meal?



Hells yeah, we don't turn down free food!

[Ogami]

That sounds good, I accept! I was just starting to get hungry, too.


----


And thus, Ensign Ichiro Ogami passes yet another of life's great trials, and in one piece.

[Ogami]

Hey, Kanna, I can eat this meal through a straw, right?

... mostly.


NEXT TIME: We finish this particular section. Yaaaaaay :v:

Circumstances have gone beyond my control.
Ahahaha, hilarious! The image of Ohgami whimpering with both arms in compound fractures waiting for Kanna's final attack really got to me. And as always your mspaints are great. Permission to use one if I do get around getting an avatar for myself?

I never really got into Galaxy Angel; it seems so :psyduck: to me. For some reason I could never relate to it. Probably because I watched the anime first and the game lacked the random insanity of the anime. Also the game doesn't have NOMAD which I think has got to be one of the most hilarious characters in anime. :argh:

Though having Ranpha Franboise itself is probably worth taking a trip down Damnation Alley... I mean she even has larger tracts of land than Sumire!


To the brave soul who attempts a Galaxy Angel LP, she has got to be the one for you. :patriot:

Oh where to begin...

I think we all know anything Kohran would grow in a garden can kill and eat a mere crow. And have tentacles in case Ogami wandered by.

Kanna is... nice, isn't she? Ogami would never be happy with her. However it seems that Sumire and Kanna are friendly, so perhaps Kanna can dispense the beatings Sumire would give him but of course, is too much the lady to actually do.

Any chance you could post what happens if Ogami misses one of those blocks, btw?

Nah, Kanna just found someone she can hit more than three times without having to take them to the hospital. Someone to beat up alllllll night long....

Oh by the way, another vote for Sumire. Would be Kohran, but I don't like the girls inserting objects into places in my body where nothing should ever be inserted to have glasses, and I don't think Ogami does either :colbert:

Also, what would you say the action/dating ratio of this game is? It seems to be a little short on the action, I'm sorry to say.

Well, look at it this way. In other strategy-RPGs your method for powering up your team is to set them to auto-spar, drive off to the nearest Sonic, eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert there until you've exhausted its entire menu, then return home and realize you'll have to do the whole thing again because 30 minutes in the game decided to show one of the battle phrases it has 0.005% chance of displaying and you needed to hit X to clear it.

In this strategy-RPG your method for powering up your team is to look at girls in various states of undress.

I AM NOT SURE I SEE THE DOWNSIDE.
