    They're somethin' else.
    Best part of Skyward Sword so far:

    Zelda: You... do know what happens at the end of the Ceremony, don't you Link? (bed room eyes)

    Link:
    >Nope.
    >Kinda.
    >... Uh Oh.

    XDDDDDDD

    One foot in front of the other, every day.
    Currently in the middle of episode 5 of Madoka. Taking a break due to my internets being shitty and slowing the stream.

    One interesting thing I've noticed that Madoka's protagonist status is a result of perspective. Miki much more powerfully fits the heroic archetype, [giving up her wish for the sake of another person] and having a more wholehearted approach to her status and duties as a magical girl. Plus, she has a katana, which is pretty much shorthand for "hero" in anime where historical weapons are uncommon. It's almost as if it's a more "standard" magical girl plot from Miki's perspective (although I expect that'll crumble soon enough), but a more observant and analytical one from Madoka's. Madoka, [yet to become a magical girl], has something of an outsider's perspective towards all these events. So we get to observe and analyse the events alongside Madoka, [given she's only slightly more involved in what's going on than we are as an audience].

    Structurally, it's shaping up to be a very clever anime.

    Madoka's pretty much the greek chorus for the whole thing. Till the end when she makes her choice (Which is, incidentally, the theme of the series)

    I kind of guessed that [she wouldn't make her choice until the end], but I still could've done without the spoiler. -_-

    Y'all are making me read the manga.

    Damn paper and ink, non-psychedelic witches just aren't the same.

    Bah, can't highlight spoilers from the phone.

    Can you pm that?

    Also, it's not really much of a spoiler, considering the very first scene pretty much tells you what's madoka's role in the history right away.

    I'll give you that it's easy to guess, but not everyone's going to make that guess. Especially at face value.

    IJBM: Fantasy writers like to use all sorts of crazy names that makes it hard to remember who's who.

    I mean, it's just as hard to remember who's Throdin Glammerstones and who's Mezzl'Ulthar as it is to remember who's Takeshi Murakami and who's Misaki Orodoki.

    Man, O'Reilly is such a prick. Tha way he claims he respected Lange's opinion and then talks down to him about how he should read a children's book to be educated.

    God, what an ass.

    Looking at car at a dealer with my sister. Evidently she has a taste for the huge SUVs. -_-
  • RedEyedAbyssRedEyedAbyss
    I'd say show her the environmental statistics, but a bunch of people don't give a hoot about those. Maybe showing her the long-term gas costs could scare her off.

    >Implying she'll be the one paying. 
  • RedEyedAbyssRedEyedAbyss

    Oh yes.

    How do you teach responsibility to those kind of teenagers?

  • glennmagusharveyglennmagusharvey

    Why does she want a huge SUV?
  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.
    Because they're pretty, spacey, big and they can run through everything? 

    Hell, if I could afford one, I'd buy one, but I know I can't. 
  • MalkavianMalkavian
    MORONS! I'VE GOT MORONS ON MY PAYROLL!
    I agree with all of those except pretty. They're pretty damn bulky and gaudy, plus economy cars have slicker designs.

    I like big tanks and i cannot lie.

    She keeps bringing up being able to drive safely in the snow, ignoring that we already have one of those and if weather conditions are serious enough to affect driving we're only going out for necessities are she sure as hell ain't going to be the one driving.
