Temple of Ranma's Sailor Senshi Seifuku

Dirty little secret is that Ebonics is a dialect of English, from England, that the Royalists brought it over after they lost to Cromwell and settled in the southern colonies. I do not care where it came from or what it's doing here. I still refuse to recognise it as real English. And if you're rig...

Eris, the rest of that quote ran "after the death of the Emperor". Mmm? It did? I was not aware. Even so, I think my point remains. The fundamental problem is that in the navies we're familiar with in real life, it takes 22-25 years service to make captain, if you make it at all. Making e...

And ya see, that is what I'd have said if I'd read the books anytime semi-recently :) *snerks* Better than me--I haven't read more than a double handful of the SW novels at all let alone recently--mostly I nick my info from other people's research. Mostly I'm just really a die-hard fan of the Empir...

Nah, gender is still a hindrance in Star Wars universe, in the Empire at least - remember that Daala was a nobody until she found a sponsor. Actually that's more because Daala was incompetent than real bias. It wasn't until she slept with Tarkin that she was paid any attention to, and even then she...

Yeah, a "harvy" refers to an invisble, independent aspect of the character's personality only visible to that character. Normally the character can interact with the "harvy" as it attempts to influence their behavior. This is NOT what I'm aiming for with Ranma, as it's rather cl...

DBZ is actually one of the rare series that while I have never seen it, I am quite ready and willing to condemn it whole-heartedly. Normally I'd abstain judgement, but honestly I have enough second-hand information about the series to say there's little redeeming about it. Hyper-powered characters, ...

who is to say that the magic doesn't store the energy to maintain the transformation. Besides what most people over look is energy is matter, it is just broken matter. Well, that's sort of the entire point of what's been said as far as I can tell. Energy is fundamentally matter in a different insta...

I realise upon reading this thread how amazingly normal I am by some standards. And getting me to feel normal is no mean feat indeed, but damn if I don't have to stand in awe of some of the people around here, on the anime collection front at least. If I could include my library of philosophy texts ...

Ooh, fun. Substantive debate. I'm always for this. Beware of major snipping--I'm trying to keep down my overall post length. [Bits on conservation of energy] My point is exactly that all the energy involved, unless we want to discard our laws of physics (which might be necessary), must come from som...

Truthfully, the Senshi aren't really drawing power from stellar bodies, or Pluto would be an incredibly wimp. It's more like the power that's been infused into the stellar body. Or maybe the power of the God/Goddess associated with the stellar body, thus Sailor Nova would be associated with a reall...

I have to say that for the most part I disagree--the Ranmaverse is remarkably and fundamentally more strange than the actual one we live in. The Ranmaverse for starters has a lot more weirdness and inexplicable events than you're giving it credit for, and while the actual world is indeed quite remar...

An expression used to express approval, as in Whenever the senator spoke, he was greeted with cries of "Hear! hear!" This expression was originally Hear him! hear him! and used to call attention to a speaker's words. It gradually came to be used simply as a cheer. [Late 1600s] Ahh, I am e...

Ahem. Star Trek crosses, This isn't just with anime fics, it's with anything. I've read maybe three decent Trek crosses, and they treat the Federation exactly like what it is- outclassed by lots of things out there. I also dislike the Space-Commie thing. You people are making me feel nerdy. >.< I h...

Well, most of the more irritating clichés have already been posted, but one of the most annoying of all time is when nearly anyone crosses anything with Star Trek we end up with all the characters in the crossover universe(s) in awe of the Federation as they walk over any threats with their incredi...

I would pay to see this written to be quite honest. Well, not really, but I would do about anything short of that. Hell, I might write it myself if no one else does (maybe). Evil is a fascination of mine, and there is almost no good evil oriented fiction, and even less fanfiction. Especially when it...
