I don't know I'm kinda excited for Night Raid.

>From the previous thread

>>32476000

I doubt Angel Beats will leave much space for speculation.

>>32476072

And I don't see how Night Raid will, either. The next speculah show will probably be something no one had coming.

>>32476232
A-1 Pictures, trolls to the very end.

Night Raid looks like more of an action\suspense show.. I don't think there'll be place for lots of speculah. I'll still watch and enjoy it tho!

did the header change for the website?

http://www.sorawoto.com/

>>32476233

Don't get me wrong, I think it's going to be a excellent and thrilling show. The problem is, the whole speculah thing could only happen because SnW was so well thought and planned, and said scenario was presented in a very subtle way. Night Raid happens in a period and in a scenario we know very well. We might get lots of threads talking about it, but I don't think it has the same speculation fuel SnW had, sadly.

> The next speculah show will probably be something no one had coming.
At the very least, it will have to be something that isn't an adaptation of a pre-existing work.

Underwhelming final episode was underwhelming and rushed

That fucking mitary guy was drew by hellsing ultimate team, I AM SURE OF IT.

Soranowoto showed an awesome animation quality on the mechanical spider scenes, /r/ a good anime with same team

>>32476310
This right here, Night Raid is extremely well documented in history and there really isn't anything to speculah about...all you gotta do to learn all about it is watch the history channel or something.

We gotta find something else thats lolgrimdark for next season.

>>32476338
by rushed do you mean pacing. I could see where you are coming from if so but it was the same pace as the entire show. Just got to sit back and absorb it.

>>32476381
Err Night Raid?

>>32476313

Brootifur. ;_;

the reason these threads keep living....

Lovely....

>>32476383
It's still worth talking about though, I mean there wasn't much to speculah about GL and we still had shit tons of threads and viewing threads. I mean isn't that was really matters /a/ had been shit for a long time now, I don't know I just want these to continue...

Hakouki: Shinsegumi Kitan looks pretty loldeep and grimdark so we can try that one ;_;

>>32476500
I don't know if I can stomach sitting through an episode of 'lol gay samurais.'

Can someone post the chart for spring?

>>32476232
Aijou Yujou would have been played at that last scene (and would have fitted perfectly) if SnW were your average generic series. But they choose a beautiful piece of music to go out in style.
God i love the OST of this series, it will probably be the first anime related stuff i will get from japan.

Senkou no Night Raid is the only original anime next season.

Nothing to speculah about.

I've been putting off watching this for a while now, mostly because there's female soldiers, but now I think I'll give it a shot.
It's time to stop procrastinating and actually get to watching it so I can see what the fuss is about.

>>32476458
All good things come to an end, bro. ;_;

That's not the yaoi one by JC Staff..its some Japanese mystery VN.

>>32476584

>>32476392
>same pace as the entire show

wat. they covered the climactic battle for which tank-kun has been waiting since the ancient battle shown in Ep. 7 and they cover the whole thing in approx. 7 minutes, and resolved what happened with Rio, bad guy Hopkins, and the bioweapon-hime all in one go. At the pace of the rest of the show, each of those would have been a full episode.

Also, too much weeping. Only Shuko retained my respect (and Tank-kun of course).

I liked the show, but they cheated on the finale.

>>32476628
Thanks.

You guys have been having this "Welcome back" threads for 3 days already!

What the hell are they about?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xta55fBko20

>>32476596

Goddamnit, are you fucking serious? Of ALL those shows, Anime no Chikara is the only staff who's making something 100% fresh?

Industry, I am disapoint.

>>32476628
I am gonna watch everyone that is subbed!

>>32476676
Only the best show of the season.

>>32476676
Sora no Woto. Noel says it to Rio in the closing mins of the finale.

>>32476628
I don't know Night Raid still intrigues me.

>>32476613

no more currently available on PIXIV :(

Subete honto no sekai

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnyrBuz0PT4

Fucking rad.

>>32476710
So I must assume it is THAT awesome of an ending?

We should just change these threads into an Anime-No-Chikara thread.

>>32476697
Well, there's also Heroman! :D

>>32476817
I guess, I was going to say that as well but you somehow beat me to it...

>>32476790
It was pretty great.
Also, we've had fuckhuge chain threads for almost every episode, where have you been?

>>32476697
Nah, Angel Beats is original. And Black Rock Shooter is semi-original; yes, it's based off of pre-existing designs and a song by supercell, but nobody has any fucking clue of what's actually going to happen besides BRS and Dead Master fighting each other and having schoolgirl forms.

>>32476790
It wasn't QUITE as good an ending as Gunbuster's, if that's what you mean, but despite what people have said, I quite liked it and feel that the ending fit the show just fine.

>>32476790
Actually it was a pretty mediocre ending.
But these guys are too much into these circlejerk threads to stop for such a detail.

>>32476871
I don't think any ending could beat Gunbuster, I mean Diebuster came close and it was pretty much the same thing.

>>32476858
lost interest when those threads became TRUMPETAH

>>32476817

Isn't there a manga already?

>>32476790

The threads are due more to the fact we've done this for every SnW episode for three months, but yeah, the ending was pretty good.

>>32476717
A Christian hymn written by a converted hardcore atheist, actually. It's a spiritual autobiography.

>>32476895
Question, did you even try to understand the deeper meaning behind the show or did you just watch it for "moeshit"?

This ending doesn't even come close to Gunbuster's ending.

A week from now, when you all come down from your Sora no Woto high, you're going to look back and regret ever comparing the two.

I better hear that Tank-kun swag is coming out by the time the final OVA is released or I'm raising an army of spidertanks and invading Japan.

>>32476871

Oh man, I already know exactly what's going to happen at Ｂ★ＲＳ、 and Angel Beats! isn't giving me much of a speculah vibe either.

Well, at least I hope you guys stick around, that's the most important thing.

>>32476951
It doesn't, no, but that doesn't stop it from being great in it's own right.

>>32476697
Angel Beats is 100% original..however nobody seems to like it because of "lol purple haruhi clone"...I'm sure there will be plenty to speculah about but everyone thinks its going to be generic keyshit ;_;

>>32476951
Gunbuster will always be remembered for 'Welcome Home.' I could be on my deathbed with Alzheimer and my last thought would probably be that scene.

>>32476983
Angel Beats is giving me generic merchandise selling vibe...

>>32477064

I assure you that someone stupid enough to dismiss a show because it looks like something else isn't part of the Anime no Chikara crowd.

>>32476597
I can't find a site to watch it at.
Anyone want to stream it starting from episode 1?

>>32477174
Torrent it you gigantic faggot

>>32477174
>stream

Just don't.

>>32477101
brown girl with white hair... could be daughter of brown girl and girl with white hair...

>>32477064

Just like Sora no Woto was supposed to be the next K-on.

>>32477174
Just go to
www.pwqsubs.com
and download them all.

Streaming is bad, especially with the high caliber artwork in this show.

Angel Beats will be horrible.
I saw an image of a FEMALE wielding the SUPER WEAPON displayed in my pic from that show, despite the fact that it is common knowledge that only MEN can wielding such a weapon!

>>32477199
Glorious

>>32476951

Nothing comes close to Gunbuster's ending.

>>32477199
Two girls cant have babies silly.

Good show! Kanata is fucking retared, but I'm OK with it
Rushed but sweet ending, I'd give the whole mother a 4 out of 5

>>32476951
Wait, someone was actually comparing them?
Didn't get to read the whole thread, but that's just wrong.

>>32477303
Given Noel's genius she finds a way around that.

>>32476628
Kiss X Sis sounds pretty fucking awesome. Wincest.

[has a 14 y/o cousin he would like to fuck]

Also I can't wait until Romance of the Three Kingdome comes out

>>32477321
i think it was just a misunderstanding in an earlier thread because they welcomed Rio home and some anon probably started comparing the two endings.

>>32477341
I wonder how Noel would feel to find out that her daughter is lesbian for a machine? Wait what, it all makes sense now...

>>32476316
Late, but is this what you wanted?

>>32477353
too bad KissXSis is pretty fucking stupid and the OVA's were as much as you should see animated of it. Domina no Do would have been a better fanservice mango to animate because it's crazier than KissXSis.

Can you guys imagine? Viewing thread for Gunbuster Episode 6? OMG...

>>32477373
GLORIOUS

>>32477101
Great way to put it man, Gunbuster´s ending is that good.

I don´t really thing SnW can be compared with anything, the production team wanted to create something fresh and original, except the initially stereotypical traits of the main characters, they have come with a nice way of telling a good history, while showing us amazing scenaries and epic music. And in the end they were ablke to give it a nice conclusion, which not everyone will like, but it was loyah to the main idea of the series.

>>32477399
The entire infrastructure of 4chan would collapse!

>>32477399

The server would burst into flames and Moot's penis... oh wait

>>32477429
From sheer awesomeness, I mean not even the viewing thread for GL can compare.

>>32477399

Another climbing gif.

While we are at it - should i watch Gunbuster or Diebuster first ?

>>32477554

Gunbuster

>>32477554
Gunbuster, duh. Diebuster's the sequel.

>>32477554
Gunbuster followed by Diebuster AFTER a year. DO NOT WATCH DIEBUSTER RIGHT AWAY TRUST ME ON THIS.

>>32477554

Gunbuster. I'd say don't bother with Diebuster, but everyone should probably decide that for themselves. Suffice to say that Diebuster is not much like Gunbuster except in the theme of GUTS and HARD WORK and the godawful pacing.

>>32477584
lolwut?

>>32477373
uh sauce?

>>32476184
where is this from?

>>32477627
>where is this from?

Sora no Woto

>>32477627

Gunbuster ending theme is now playing in your head - manually.

>>32476184
At the 1st glance i thought it's the Dai-Gurren brigade logo on that flag

>>32477365

I think someone already posted the "welcome back" screenshot from Gunbuster in the 2chan thread before /a/ started comparing the endings.

>>32476232
I for one was really glad that the usual ED didn't kick in after this moment.

ENDING WAS SHIT! ADMIT IT!

>>32477704

Fuck bro, you're gonna make me cry ;_;

>>32477616
lol wut.

>>32477713

>>32477616
>don't bother with Diebuster
how are your hands even able to type this?

>>32476950
Actually he DID NOT watch the show at all because IT'S MOESHIT K-ON LOL U STILL WATCHING THIS OH WOW

>>32477718
Yeah, the Gunbuster ending was posted in the 2chan thread and I needed a header for the first post-watching thread so I just went with "Welcome Back."

>>32477832
u forgot to add the XD in the spoiler

>>32477206
If it follows that adaptation it will be incredible...everyone who's working on it only makes excellent work so I'm guessing it has to be good.

Interesting fact for the Speculah, which i think hasn´t been mentioned yet.

Here is the declaration of peace as shown by Rio, signed by the 2 countries, in there we can clearly see the date it was signed:

22.2.272 A.P.

I think that 272 A.P should mean that the calendar was restarted 272 years ago, Probably the actual date was lost due to the Bird War 1, and all the countries agreed on a new system, so we can assume that the Bird War happened 300 years ago, it had to be something of a huge magnitude so it could start a new era.

How can time be lost? well, if you live on a computer depending society, let´s say our own world on 50 years from now, you drop enough nuclear bombs and electromagnetic impulse bombs (don´t really know much about this, sorry), that eliminate let´s say 95% of the world population and cityes (remember nomansland), and have the rest of them surviving on extreme conditions on a totally devasted world, i think its pretty normal that no one cared which day it was.

>>32477584
Trust him on that, sounds strange but it will make the experience complete.

Finale was shit. Why they do this every fucking time? First they waste time with pointless crap in previous episodes and then jam four episodes worth of stuff in the finale.

>>32476628
Holy shit, 4/5 of these are going to suck/already suck/are a continuation of something that sucks.
Even the moe stuff doesn't look great.

/r/ing Tank-Kun desktop backgrounds

>>32478097
>Even the moe stuff doesn't look great.

Are you really suprised ?

Toki no Kawa wo Koete - Across the River of Time even the name gives me goose bumps.

/r/ing ANY SnW wallpapers, the ones on 4walled and similar sites are shiiiit.

i'd love to have a wallpaper of Kanata playing the trumpet in the latest episode. I'd cry each time i would look at my desktop

I never watched Gunbuster, because those mechas working out in the first scene and then UGUU... Oh god, I just couldn't keep watching.

Say, it's already wednesday in Japan.

WHERE IS MY OST?

Is anyone going to sub the making-of next week ?

>>32478222

Gunbuster is fucking awesome. First ep is basically Aim for the Ace parody.

And there's no "UGUU" in Gunbuster. jesus...

>>32478155

animooted

>>32478250

pwq said they might do it.

>>32478216
There's this one, as long as you don't mind Shuko being in it as well.

>>32478011

I dunno man, if we consider "Dupont" died in the Bird War 1, does his body looks 250+ years old? I'm nothing but a layman on this, but I don't think corpses last that long in the open.

>>32478250
There's supposed to be one ?

>>32478222

First episode is a parody episode.

Which is actually a really stupid choice on Anno's part, considering it's one-sixth of the entire goddamn show.

>>32478297
You have to realize that Anno is nuts, and although the man is literally mad he does have his moments.

>>32478273
If we assume that the environment was irradiated, thus eliminating the microorganisms that perform decomposition, and the subway station ended up being sealed off from the external environment, it's entirely possible that he could have simply mummified naturally, is it not?

>>32478297

initially Gunbuster was project with which GAINAX ment to pay the bills for box office disaster of Honneamise (it did work out, remembering Gunbuster is one of the top selling OVAs ever).

He really started to have more serious ambitions with Gunbuster with eps 2-3.

>>32478261
>And there's no "UGUU" in Gunbuster.
This is close enough to be commented with UGUU~.
If you take "UGUU" in the sense of an extremely ugly drawn "moe" character design.

>>32478340
Pretty much that's what I assumed happened from the start. He looks pretty good for being 500 years old.

>>32478356
"Moe"? Really? Do you really think that?

>>32478335

Uhh, Anno isn't nuts. Being clinically depressed for years and recovering from it doesn't exatly scream "nuts". This is OT, meh

anyway, OST WHERE????

>>32478011
After Episode 10 we speculated that it's something more like the Japanese koki or nengo calendars, which are based on the mythical founding of Japan and the reigning emperor, respectively. So A.P. would stand for Arkadia Period and it would be 272 years since the Arkadia family came to power in Helvetia.

It makes sense if Helvetia is going through an imperialistic phase that they would develop their own calender. Also note the diagonal lines intersecting at zero on the 1121st's map, a feature of old maps from before the Prime Meridian was established; everybody wanted to be the center of the world and it created a mess.

>>32478355
I have a Gunbuster OVA when it actually meant OVA Original Video Animation. I don't even have the VCR to play it any more though...

>>32478356
That's nowhere close to an UGUU~ face, which is a face that's completely distorted, with the Kanonical example being a face with the nose up between the eyes and the mouth where the nose would be.

>>32478388
Gunbuster OST?

If so here. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=O2DLFSNQ

SNW is probably on share right now.

>>32478356
>implying Haruhiko Mikimoto ever did "moe designs"

oh you!

But yeah, especially ep 1 has some terrible face animation/drawings.

They get considerably better after that though

I'm starting to notice that the SnW threads are not even exclusively about SnW, it's more of a hangout point between the speculahbros.

And that's awesome.

>>32478380
It's what moe was back then.

>>32478420
>Kanonical
What a pun!
But it does look distorted to me.
Anyway, I will give Gunbuster a second try.

>>32478273
Maybe that covered subway prevented the body to rot quickly, or Filicias delusion wasn´t totally precise, anyways you have a point there. I was thinking of a reason for the years to not last 365 days on SnW, but i can´t think on a plausible one. Anyways i still think that that date is a clue related to the Bird War.

>>32478264
OH GOD IT'S HUGE

I wish Night Raid would get off its revisionist ass and say "The Japanese Army was been dispatched to Shanghai after the occupation of Manchuria"

>>32478435
Just checked Share, didn't see it.

>>32478458

Is there DD link to Sora no Woto OST?

I can't use torrent sites since my PC is busted (and this ancient laptop fucking sucks)

;_;

>>32478580
It's not even out yet.
For us anyways.

>>32478580
Once somebody get a copy we'll mediafire it for you and anyone in here.

>>32478580
No rip yet, I'll megaupload it when one comes out though.

>>32478407
But if Helvetia is using a similar system to the Japanese ones, why should be Rome using accept the same calendar as Helvetia? Maybe it was one of the conditions on the peace negotiations?

>>32478011
So Roman Emperor is named Franz Leopold Karl Von Wittelsbach. And Helvetian Duke is Akira August Arkadia.

I really love these threads: for once |a/ isn't all about trolling and shit...

>>32478724
>crunchyroll
Do you really need to say more?

>>32478724
Watch the making of turns out to be episode 13 and the read ending where they all die except for Rio who is stuck in a loveless marriage and gets raped everyday; everyone would shit brix.

>>32478724
Maybe it's the making-of episode?

>>32478809
lol so randum

>>32478335

Anno isn't nuts, he just loves to troll.

>>32478534

this, I am not holding out hopes, but I will really salute A-1 and shit brix if they portrayed the various factions involvement in the war in a objective way. if for no other reason then to troll the ones in Japan who are in denial.

but who knows?...they might surprise us. They allready trolled the waifu crowd.
you want regal Rio? Too bad, shes engaged, and with a nice guy too.
pure motherly Filicia? fuck you, have a badass sensual god-mother!
kuudere Rin clone? hell no, she learned german for Aishas sake.
Tsundere Kureha? if you think you can compete with the best postman ever....
Clumsy fragile Kanata that needs to be protected and looked after?....sure...when you bother to get out of your basement and scale a clift with her, carrying package.

>>32478878
I don't know much about history or the coming anime, but I'm sure it will work around all touchy political subjects in one way or another. Just like the Zipang anime.

>>32478534
lol. It's too close to Nankine NO RAPE TOOK PLACE

>>32478961
LOL Oh God. Zipang anime aka: I HATE AMERICAN I HATE AMERICA.

>>32478878
I really hope that they do censor it for Japanese tastes and whatnot..and like make believe that the Japanese were doing a good deed by invading China and whatnot. I will laugh heartily on their censorship of WW2 when the rest of the world knows the truth that they were brutal and ruthless in that time period before America kicked them to the curb.

>>32478961
Wasn't Zipang pretty neutral with the current Japanese crew of Zipang not being sure of siding with the Imperial Japanese of the time given their warmongering, and whether to let their people conquer everything or to let the USA fuck their peopole over....

>>32479058

"So there we we trying to satisfy all these horny Chinese lolis, and the US had to get all uppity and force us to attack Pearl Harbor."

>>32479051
That's not specific to Japan, though.
Everyone on the world hates America.

>>32479058
Well if you took into account how liberal A-1 was with SNW Dolphins are intelligent statement as well as the women having a role out side of the kitchen statement really didn't fly well in 2chan.

>>32478839
>>32478809
Hmmm, making-out episode....
Rio x Filicia

>>32479096
To be fair, the US only fucked with Japan after the war for a bit and after they were left to their own devices they went back on track and were poised to become the most powerful nation until their market crashed in the 90's..that was the big scare that Japan was going to take over again.

>>32479135
More like Aisha x Noel.

>>32479058
The Japanese were kind've forced to go into that militarist phase. They had an inferiority complex from Commodore Perry's intimidation and it backfired. Especially when the economy tanked post-ww1 and depression.....allowing the japanese people to go back and remember past injustices and let the militarists take over w/o dissent. Also see their stricter militarist culture then

inb4 weeaboo

>>32479051
>>32478961

actually Zipang portrayed that a significant part of the crew from modern japan as being aware that the old imperialistic Japan really isn't the good guy and feel that the nukes on japan was needed to shock them into surrendering and they didn't wanted to fight the allied. (the allied also manages to damage thier ship in a badass scene where he dives his plane straight into it, but unlike the kamikaze pilotes, ejects before it hits because he's aware that returning alive to his family and with information about the cruiser is important)

>>32479102
The US DID provoke the Japanese into attacking PH.

>>32479149
Why not both? Equally strong subtext.

>>32476313
combine it with this:
http://www.rainymood.com/

OH FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU ;___;

>>32479137
Chinese and North Korean aggression could still provoke Japan into remilitarizing...and a significant portion of their population hasn't forgotten ancient hatreds. Lots of Southeast Asia IIRC is still paranoid over that.

>>32479216
Wow I feel like I'm in /u/.

And I like it

>>32479119
What did 2chan do?

I'm pretty sure I've read every thread since it was mentioned, but just in case I didn't see it: any news on organizing an [a/ Sings AIJOU YUJOU? Because I would love to participate.

All these threads really need to have

http://www.rainymood.com/

and

http://www.pwqsubs.com/

At the top. It's mandatory background music for SNW threads.

>>32479171
Which proves that you can have a WW2 anime without being revisionist and without going into "touchy" subjects. Why not the same for the happenings that the Night Raid anime covers?

>>32479319
Try this on Gaia or Youtube.
Fuck off.

Most of the people who watch anime at night in Japan are faggots.

>>32479267
Japs felts like we betrayed them after they so selflessly took over or 'freed' all of our countries. I remember my grandfather being one of the underground relaying info to the Allied command about Japanese bases in Singapore. It was literally Indiana Jones shit back then... I wish I was alive back then it would've been fucking epic.

It was only 1 or 2 guys getting bitchy about the Dolphin statement.

Noel said something along the line that Dolphins were as smart as some humans. And they got butthurt since they eat dolphins.

SOME Japanese eat Dolphins. Analogous to some parts of Black America eating chitlings and pig feet

>>32479482
then again if there was a show that pointed out the intelligence of pigs, USA-based audiences might BAWW and go 'PETA GTFO'

Fun Fact: In some regions in the USA, Dolphin is slang for Mahi Mahi.

These anons are telling the truth... I was watching Diebuster right after Gunbuster and well, I didn't like Diebuster like I enjoyed Gunbuster.
It was like FLCL + Mechas (maybe I'm just thinking that way due to art and style... but whatever) whereas Gunbuster had a few great touches to it.

But in the end, when Diebuster picked up speed I enjoyed it as much as I did enjoy Gunbuster just for completely different reasons.

Also the way Diebuster ends is fucking awesome except one thing:
the size does not matter it's THE HEART! Don't fucking care that you're a robot THE HEART MAN! THE HEART!
Also what I liked was the scene where you see Lark in the other cockpit wearing the Gunbuster outfit I almost broke out to tears...

When the camera shows the sky and this light appears and it's stated that Bustermachine 1 & 2 came back I was in tears...

Not as good as Gunbuster in my opinion but two cool shows that you can love for different aspects or hate ... strangely...

>>32479456
Here on /a/ we call this "cancer".

>>32479267
Yeah, however Japan would be on our side this time around, we have a lot invested over in Japan and they have the majority of their shit invested in us...if they were to remilitarize I doubt they would fuck with southeast asia because they really aren't a threat unlike China and N. Korea which are threats and not-so friendly with their allies. (US/UN)

>>32479549
Diebuster would have been better with less organic mecha.

>>32479549
The only reason I told him to wait a year between the two is this. You can't enjoy Diebuster without having a sense of nostalgia related to Gunbuster. Nostalgia goggles is what makes Diebuster that much more awesome.

>>32479588
>>we have a lot invested over in Japan and they have the majority of their shit invested in us.

Didn't stop the UK and the then-German Empire from fighting in WWI - they were pretty good trading partners.

Japan would at least assert itself more and do something about those US bases on its' territories. The bases the US forces Japan to pay for.

>>32479119
Women have a role outside of the kitchen in Japan, they can be office ladies too remember.

>>32479588
There isn't going to be WWIII, the tech of war has escalated to the point that war will begin and end in the span of a few hours. This thing we have in Afghanistan and Iraq isn't really a war, we are there simply to protect our financial interest.

End of June and September with DVD#4 and #7

Russia has a sweet coldwar computer underground that controls all the nukes they have. If it notices a nuke hits anywhere in Russia it quickly sends a phone call and if there is no answer it will launch all nukes at America by itself.

>>32480138
That's pretty cool.

>>32480022

Sure, whatever you guys say. I don't want to be the party buster either.

I'll be listening to my Gunbuster OST as I await the SNW to be released.

>>32479533
God I love it!
Being a germanfag myself I am just flabberghasted at the sheer amount of dipshit German Warmongersoldiers called Hans that wouldn't hit the Atlantic Ocean even if they were drowning in it let alone notice it. The fact that in most warmovies the 'good' ones are always like some sort of Messiah that's mowing down enemies like they were grass and
especially where EVERY 'bad' soldier that died was a necessary/righteous kill but god beware if a 'good' soldier dies he get's 10 minutes of onscreen heroic death.

All just adds up to the fun of watching war movies.
Also gore.

But I digress, I hope A-1 doesn't do weird shit with the show and shit all over history in order to just not upset anyone.
Come to think about it, one should make a show based on some event like the Nanking massacre with a fuckton of historical references and sources so noone can deny it* and show what happened just to stir up some shit.

>The bases the US forces Japan to pay for.

Actually it's a mutually wanted thing.
The US has bases near China/Russia without having to pay for them and Japan has a strong military backing them up that's right on their ground without having to actually HAVE a military.
Also the noteworthy thing is that Japan and America have a contract that ANY attack on Japan is considered an attack against America itself. With that, noone seriously fucks around with Japan and Japan doesn't even have to establish a military.

FTFY OP.

>>32479975
delusional or trolling?

>trolling it is then...

>>32480138

That's not how perimeter works. Either Russian leadership sends a signal to the perimeter operators, or if they're not able to be reached, they take control.

At the end of the day there are still human beings working the reigns of it, it's not a totally automatic system.

>>32480379
Ya seriously you guys think America and Israel are close... We don't even need a Visa to go to Japan and vice-versa.

>>32480379
>implying we are close to Japan after what happened between the anti-whalers and Jap-whaling ships.

They fucking threw whale meat at us.

>>32480662
They threw it at the Aussies not us. Don't lump the US in with Australia.

Ruvyka MArarta, or in English, 'Dead Hand'. I know I fucked up the Russian spelling but in English its dead hand

>>Come to think about it, one should make a show based on some event like the Nanking massacre with a fuckton of historical references and sources so noone can deny it* and show what happened just to stir up some shit.

There have been historical documentaries made in China on Nanking, interviews with survivors and all. Not to mention the pictures and videos of the "massacre" when it was happening

>>32480472
uh both.

>>32480379
hmm thanks for the info. There's a similar treaty regarding Taiwan correct?

>>32480482
yeah. There needs to be a loss of communication with USSR politicans, seismic signals detected and a certain amount of time before the people @ the hangout have to choose.

The Russian dudes pointed out back then it could've been a recent officer who graduated the academy or a political officer/mid-ranking Soviet Politician there at the time. 0_o

>>32480662
>>32480734
Greenpeace warships actually. Not US or Aussies

>>32480138

Not quite. They played around with the idea of automation (the Dead Hand) but did not go in.

Perimetr was pretty hardcore though.

>>32480790
I think you're referring to Dr Strangelove, that was on that concept. Well a similar concept. Maybe there was something on that w/ the Outer Limits.

>>32480482

The US has a similar system, I think.
I remember reading something about a satelite network that can be switched to an autonomous working programm where it looks for flashes that would be caused by either a missile start at certain locations or flashes of radioactive explosions on other areas (basically: if a ICBM starts in russia or New York is blown away) it can automatically start ICBMs (that, of course, are not in space as this is forbidden).

But I have no source, so... darn it...

Also: the SLAM... an unmanned rocket that uses a lightweight nuclear reactor as heatsource for a ramjet (this basically means: once started it can fly for years, if not even decades...)
It flies with 3 times the speed of sound in an altitude of about 25-50 metres and carries a number of H²-Bombs (I think 24 or something like that) which are launched once the ramjet is close enough to it's target. After the bombs are launched, it continues to fly around over hostile ground until it either is shot down or crashes into something (intentionally or otherwise).
Humans on the ground are torn apart by the pressure of the ramjet geoing Mach 3 only 30metres above them and the exhaust of the ramjet combined with the lightweight nature of the reactor will cause severe fallout in its path.

It was never built, fortunately.... this is just a concept.

>>32480992
Holy shit I love that movie, Kong was fucking awesome.

>>32480992
The one where last guy was just about to launch the nukes when president called telling him not do it. And then it pans to show the alien sucking presidents brains from behind him?

>>32481047
Yea that was the episode.

>wondering about the giant bird war when we have the evidence right here...

>>32480888
No. Taiwan is a tightrope act; basically the US acknowledges Chinese sovereignty but doesn't recognize it, and does not support Taiwanese independence but doesn't oppose it.

So the war ended because Rio gave her delicious virgin pussy to the roman emperor, and after the emperor just ditches her GG.

Don't worry, it couldn't have been Mima. Once she did a good deed in Mystic Square the Sanzu River stopped dividing by zero and she was rushed straight off to Hell.

ITT: HARMONYYYYY

>>32481485
No. The US doesn't even have official diplomatic ties with Taiwan. There have been incidents where US forces were deployed to the region in response to Chinese movements, though.

>>32481492
There are a number of states that recognize Taiwan.

>>32481668
The Olympic committee recognizes Taiwan.

>>32481851
I love love love Felicia...

>>32481932
She's a devil, and we love her for it.

>>32481668
maybe it was 'when the US recognises Taiwan'?

Anyway when I read it I thought it was bogus.
It boiled down to:
US pisses off China, China attacks Taiwan and Japan, Isreal wants to join in and glasses its neighboors Russia goes AAAH MOTHERLAND and Europe is trollfaces all over the map...

>>32481985
Australia would still be going, "WTF mate?" Fucking Kangaroos...

>>32482021
I remember that video...

>>32482063
Dem eyes...

>>32482063
Huh, I thought they would be using German guns.

>>32481835
The Olympic Committee recognizes Taiwan as "Chinese Taipei" or whatever, which is hardly a recognition of independence. The Olympic Committee's word also carries very little weight.

Taiwan has a very important semi-conductor and electronics industry that makes them vital to the US. While the US wants to keep relations friendly with both the PROC and Taiwan, if a conflict broke out, we can probably expect the US to try and force a settlement between both sides.

>>32482111
They do. It's just that Filicia was using Aisha's gun.

Just look at that tree, godly backgrounds.

>>32482130
I love that tree.

>>32482063

This Taiwan talk reminds me. My father was part of a deterrent mission to Asia in 1955. His carrier's job was to go around and show off the nice atomic weapons during the Second Taiwan Strait Crisis. I still have the ship's cruise book from that trip. I'm sure he probably had some freaky stories about shore leave in Japan if I had been old enough before he died.

>>32482490

>>32482530

I see, thanks.

At the beginning I didn't like Filicia at all. I didn't dislike her, but I thought she was the usual 'Ara Ara Ufufufu' type and I don't really care for those...

But Oh lord was I wrong, and thank god for that!

In the beginning I liked Noel, the image how she was fixing the tank and just saying 'shiawase' Fag-Note: Shiawase means Happiness I just couldn't dislike her. And boy was she getting awesome to the end. Instead of the overused Rei-clones (pun not intended) ... or rather Yuki-clones? ... anyway, she broke out of the stereotype and was all in all a really great character. Even with added inner conflict which fleshed out her concept quite nicely.

Rio... well, Yuu Kobayashi alone is reason to love her. Her character design (not only the visuals but also her personality) made her really intersting. It was nice to see her weak side when she is afraid or unsure what to do.

Kanata I must admit isn't all to my likings but I learned to love her. Especially cause she actually achieved something and had impact on the other characters which made her important and it had a 'round' feeling to it.

Kureha... well I disliked her bitching around but once I learned that she is just a little girl that wants to belong to a family-like group of people and desperately trying to find parent figures... I just could not dislike her. In the end her character was very entertaining even though she was annoying sometimes. But that was her 'job'. So it's ok.

Yumina had a great VA, her character wasn't really developed throughout the show, but she was great as suporting character and 'supporting' is what she did. I really loved her.

Klaus... manly man that likes to tan. What could you dislike about him?

Mishios visual design is just too much for my nutbladder... seriously, I want to hug her until she turned into a diamond. Also she had a few nice moments.

Seiya was a faggot.

>>32482805
this is pretty much my feelings except Kureha even in the end felt forced drama at least for me.

also yes Seiya IS still a faggot. Saying Kanata isn't sexy. that's out of no where.

>>32482870
Tsundere. Seiya loev Kanata.

>>32482550
Which was a really clever thing to do.
Advertising your website and gaining a few more minutes to show important stuff. Such as Yumina combing Mishios hair.

>>32483008
true that son.

Naomi is only 42? the fuck she looks like she's god damn 60. The world is really fucked up

past bump limit need new thread

>>32482870
Well, the part where she cried in the last episode I dunno. She is 14... ish... like 15 or something.
So I think that's only natural.
Whenever she was complaining and basically being annoying I always felt a bit of pity for her. I wanted to hug her, not cause I like her but cause she needs someone to do it for her, if you know what I mean...
But anyway, less bitching would have improved her a lot. Also a bit more impact on the things that happened would have been a beneifit...


Also: Did you notice that Mishio first appeared in Episode 1 where she is the first one to spray water on Kanata? It just blew my mind...

herp I just realized the french song insert during episode 1 was when Rio was explaining the fire maiden legend. And in this episode the french song was inserted again during rome's version of the fire maiden legend. herp

>>32483240
yeah they notice each other in episode 4.

http://www.sorawoto.com/music/index.html

some of the tracks from the OST is on this page

>>32482870
I have a really strong feeling that one of the DVD episodes will be about Kureha. There's something that just doesn't fit.

I could totally see Kureha holding a grudge against the Romans who orphaned her and her line about not wanting to see Aisha tortured her final bit of development.

China has a One China Policy, in which it will only do diplomacy and trade with countries that don't have diplomatic ties with Taiwan. We're supposed to do the same with China, but right now we're doing diplomacy with any country we can get. US and Japan have some unofficial channels to us.

>>32481835

Yea, we're "Chinese Taipei" to the Olympics Committee and several world/regional banks.

>>32482805
Stupid little me:

Aisha - Only there for one episodes worth of time but she was pretty cool. The VA just blew my mind. As a germanfag it was really enjoyable hearing her great german. I don't know if the VA can speak german, but she did a great job at voicing Aisha. The character in itself was nice as well. The moment she forgave Noel was really moving and even in the short amount of time they had for her she made a 'complete' impression. Not like a side character to have a few lines but rather a really fleshed out character that just didn't get much attention due to time restraints.
Also badass moment where she grabs the thermometer as improvised weapon.

And to add something that deserves to be mentioned again: Yuminas VA did a good job at the german parts as well. A few strange pauses and pronounciation was minimally off at a few parts but that aside she did a great job. Whoever wrote the german dialogue deserves a brofist for being awesome.

I wonder... I remember reading something about Yuminas VA being newcomer, if that's right I hope to hear more of her work soon. Maybe in Senkou no Night Raid...

i think Kureha's character was already pretty much fleshed out already.
she says to seiya that just because you're an orphan, doesn't mean you should do stupid faggot shit. so she tries to be 1121's reality-grounded voice of reason.

imo she's the most normal person of the group. yeah, she's a tsundere character, but her thought processes are one that a lot of people should relate to.
