Yes... real life... mwahahaha

(Although thinking about it I suppose beatings and sodomy are really more kohran's forte?)

The creepy thing is that I was thinking more or less the same thing.

Or maybe someone wants to know his every nook and cranny.

And I have to agree. If it's done in a similar style as this one it might just be interesting.

Nakajima?!!
Yes, Maria's brother is actually the unassuming lovelorn Ken Nakajima from You're Under Arrest!

Me and my friend who was watching the clip with me at the time literally screamed in outrage and hilarity. Quite a clever cameo; who would have thought Nakajima's ancestor from way back would end up meeting a lovely end faceplanting himself into the cold russian snow?

At least with his death it paved the way for Ohgami's ascension to her hot sister.

I thought I recognized that face. I saw the first episode of the new YUA series last week, but that was actually a rather neat cameo. What would be more hilarious really if you suddenly saw either Belldandy or Urd in a cutscene/in the background while playing.

Skuld would probably be more likely, since she actually looks semi-Japanese (i.e. her hair isn't blond-brown or silver).

Either way, I would poo poo bricks.

Nah. Skuld looks almost too much like Sakura but younger. Sure it could lead to a fun younger sister cameo but it has to be Belldandy, Urd or Peorth to make it right.

Wait a second here. A Sakura Wars musical? And I thought it was ridicolus when I saw the Bleach musical.
Then again. It's Japan. They could problably turn Gundam into a musical and get away with it too.

Looks like she's leading a course in "How to properly crush a small enemy force with superior numbers." Also known as the Overkill course.
Look lime simplified symbols that you can see on military charts. Drawn by those who only had a faint recognition of how they actually look.

Apparently it takes a small explosion in order to get Sumire's clothes to start falling off.

And that's a bad thing? Now we just have to start setting of explosions around her.

Not too hard. We just need to keep Kohran happy enough to laugh.

So we get a happy Kohran and a semi-clothed Sumire. I say it's a win-win situation really.

The Germans tried that in the first World War, and discovered that blimps have a fatal flaw: they are flammable.

Wasn't that because the Americans had blockaded the Germans from getting helium and forcing them to use hydrogen?

True, but they were still pretty vulnerable to ground/air-to-air fire seeing as how they traveled at about walking pace.

Now if someone could put together an armored blimp...it could hover over a battlefield and do command and control...and mount ground-attack weapons...

Great, now I have to go design an armored blimp that is a combination of an AWACS and an AC-130 or I'll never get any sleep.

/derail

You mean something like this?

Granted it's not very much like an real airship. But it's still pretty impressive.

And now we continue our regularly scheduled programming.

Ah man, I'm really torn; on the one hand I know the events of the date will certainly crush Iris' spirit.

On the other hand, Miss Sumire is dreadfully behind on her swimming lessons ...decisions, decis--

To the underground pool, my good man! Tally ho!

I fully support this notion and therefore change my vote to non-date. To say no to a lady in need is not the act of a gentleman. The fact that she partakes her actions in a swimsuit only makes the reward better.

Sumire.

No wait.

Kanna.

Yeah. No one can say no to a girl who kicks sharks. Even if those huge tracts of land are so appealing. But shark kicking gets the overhand for now.

Either through fear or mindcontrol. Otherwise it looks like we have to delegate Chris Hansen for an investigation.

That's more like it. Now get to dying, you young and handsome thing you.

And this is where I lost it for some reason.
And why did you have to write that last sentence as if she's into younger guys? :gonk:

While yes it pales in comparison to the stock-loli romance. But still.

And Im trying to remember, in which book did Cain pull something like that? I almost thought it was one of the commanding officers who did it and not Cain.
Such a shame that Ogami wasnt more like Ciaphas. :sigh:

Turn-based stage combat? You're welcome. :iamafag:

(Incidentally, this clip features two new characters from the sequel. Beware spoilers.)

Holy hell. That was priceless.

When Jean-Paul suddenly appeared in line with the healing magic is just hilarious.

Only in Japan folks. Only in Japan.

Fearsome Critter posted:

From the last one:

There is criticism that using the style of "moe" trivializes the situation. In particular, the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, an actual tragedy in which many died, were depicted as "an incident where a cat called Al-Qaeda bit America", a fact which was severely criticized in the secondary work, "Introduction to the Kashmir conflict (カシミール紛争入門, Introduction to the Kashmir conflict?)".

Oh, Japan!

Since Ive got all of the comics I more or less had to post the one mentioned.

Here's another one just because.

(I hate when my copy suddenly refuses to be acknowledged and I notice it after posting.)

We now bring you back to your reguarly scheduled Sakura Taisen discussion.

Whenever Sakura says Yes my Lord I keep hearing it as they say it in Code Geass. Especially half-shouting it.

Wow. Mirokus death here is just a huge cop out. I mean in the anime she gets killed by Sumire at least.
Only to be resurrected by Satan into a more mindless version of herself.

Speaking of the anime I actually quite like it. Especially the characterization is better in some regards when it comes to Iris, Sakura and Ohgami.

RNGen posted:

Outside of that though, I agree that the characterization was probably handled a lot better then in the games. Probably because no one is fawning over Ogami.

Yoneda is about ten times cooler in the anime than in the game. The same goes for Ayame. And having a full episode with just her younger self was just excellent.
