It is a very good series, though obviously superior in terms of the 25-volume release. Though I do not recommend watching it if you're infamiliar with many shows in general due to its mild amount of cultural references such as talk regarding Plamo, Gundam and plenty of in-jokes tied in with the drama version of GTO.

All I know is that the ending for the series wasn't fully satisfying.

I got a new manga today.

bet you can guess what I got.

NANA volume two, the offical start of the NANA story line.

WANT THIS TOO!

The Animation's 'ending' was dull and had an 'incomplete' feel as there were still many unsolved problems whereas the comic's ending and everything that happens in between which was not animated has filled all the 'holes' which makes it feel more complete and therefore 'perfect',

And now for more /m/echa-talk!
This topic revolves around Atmospheric Re-Entry.

We have seen it happen a lot of times, all the way from the first Gundam's "Condom Wrapper" shielding to more recent heat and impact resistant Phase Shift Armor used on the G.U.N.D.A.M-type Mobile Suits of the Cosmic Era. But exactly how feasible is it compared to actual Atmospheric Re-Entry as shown in actual flight tests.

Let's take a look at a few cases:

The First Gundam had two variations (TV or Movies) which differed from each other when performing independent Atmospheric Re-Entry: A transparent 'condom thing' wrap-around which was highly heat-resistant, and the high-pressure coolant sprayed from its groin area which prevented the Mobile Suit from reaching dangerous levels of temperature despite its Lunar Titanium Armor.

During the events of MS IGLOO (Pre-One Year War 0079) and 0083, it is shown that more mass-produced units utilised pods known as HLVs (Heavy Liftoff/Landing Vehicles) for transporting multiple Mobile Suits out of and into Earth with little worry of being destroyed.

Later in the year 0087, the Mobile Suits and Ships are shown using Ballute Packs which expand and inflate upon application which did not only shield the machine from the heat but also lowered the speed of descent that a machine travels when under the influence of Earth's gravity. The obvious disadvantage of this more mass-producable method is that it leaves the Mobile Suit or Ship completely vulnerable to gunfire from the back. Should an attack hit the ballute pack and damage it, the Mobile Suit or ship is practically lost due to its missing heat shielding and therefore fall victim to the heat.

Another effect and less-used alternative in the same era was to use a disposable Wave-Rider, which used a sleeker aircraft design to send Mobile Suits down to Earth. This method was mastered by mechanic genius Kamille Bidan who incorporated both the Movable Frame and Wave Rider system into his personal Mobile Suit which served in the Gryps War and the first uprising of Neo Zeon.

In the Alternate Universe timeline known as After Colony, it was only Wing and Wing Zero (Kunio Okawara Version) that also incorporated a variable form used for atmospheric re-entry as shown and demonstrated in the TV Series. Though both of Katoki's versions were also capable of performing the same feat, it was only Wing that had a variable Bird Mode unlike the Wing Zero as its wings already provided an anti-heat shielding applied by covering the critical parts of the Wing Zero.

And as usual, discuss.

Nothing in mind yet, my mom will probably match whatever I raise, but I'll end up paying her back little by little.

Also, I totally got fucked over on getting my Ranma stuff back, I won't be receiving it until Sunday....

The good news there is I finally have the time and will to watch all the anime I bought but never touched.

I would, if I had any idea where he and Adam are headed. Fuckers tore off like two hours ago and won't be back 'til God knows when (Frank says Sunday, so it best goddamn well be Sunday).

I bet they skipped town just to watch every episode I lent them (both seasons one and two, 40 eps worth).....dickfaces.

Shitsux, but you weren't missing much.

Good that will give you time to watch those Naruto DVD's you bought lol.

Those are now buried under books in a milk crate, even Jim didn't wanna watch them.

But seriously watch Champloo or something......do it for me.

Nah, watched Champloo a million times.

Starting with Solid State Society, then watching the Harlock OVAs. From there I've got Escaflowne, Saikano, Pretear, Spiral and Robotech.

Imaginably, since then you won't risk getting the replacments sent in shoddy packaging.

Also, the second I get my shit back, I am slapping on season one for the sake of going on one big nostalgia trip.

I WISH IT WAS STILL THE MID-90S, GODDAMMIT!!!

At least they were dirt cheap.

Yeah, thank God for that.

But of course

Good series, but the rewatch value is decreasing rapidly.

Good anime is good, enjoy yourself.

I shall, I shall.

I hate recap episodes.

Honestly it looks extremely out of place , not the fact that it looks like a squid but the fact the animation looks completely different.

maybe the director or someone down there is a fan of sponge bob. kinda how in excel saga you could see blossom from the powerpuff girls.

I always though what it would be like living in the 70's but then i relized most of the music sucked and most anime was never shown on american TV so i figured id be just shooting myself in the dick. So god bless the 90's, i honestly miss those carefree days.....

Yeah, the 90s were where it's at.

How much like 10 bucks?

Yep.

I have an urge to watch animes that have been shown millions of times.(Cowboy bebop)

Well, The Big Lebowski is one of the best comedies ever, but Silence of the Lambs is a much weirder one to put.

I can think of at least... 20 films from the 90's better than it.

Two of the best films I've ever seen.

Lecter and the Dude are just plain awesome characters.

Not in a few months, but I've been watching it on TV a fair bit.

Thanks for running a stake through my heart.

There are several films from the decade better, but I have a profound love for Silence of the Lambs, I've seen it around 26 times.

The greatest film of the 90s (or any decade, for that matter) is Leon in my opinion. Flawless motion picture.
