Sorry, X/1999 was just ... meh compared to the X Manga since it squeezes how much shit into 90 minutes? I like X, don't get me wrong, but jesus christ ... the movie does it no justice. Then again, it's _still_ unfinished to this day so it's hard to say, I guess. I'm pretty harsh though on anime/movi...

Dunno. It kind of fails for being X/1999 which was pretty terrible :( I also like how I randomly made it to Ikkitousen from following the related videos randomly. Edit: This talk of Elfen Lied made me check out how the scanlation groups are doing; nearing the end of EL so I guess I can replace my ol...

But isn't that true for most manga to anime conversions? Yeah but ... the copious amounts of gore and death in Elfen Lied's intro makes it hard to fathom that still images can be worse. There's a few disembowels shown and I think they have some sort of dismemberment quota to reach per volume. And, ...

Elfen Lied is more massive amount of death and carnage (the first five minutes of the first episode are probably the most graphic of any anime still ... yeah). Higurashi is more a psychothriller as you're more into why these lolis are killing each other and not the actual death scenes, which aren't ...

Shion and Mion [spoiler]"Mion" is the killer in Onikakushi-hen along with Rena ... though which murders are on their hands I don't know (Mion should have the first death, Rena the photographer along with Mion? The one's in between I suppose are Mion's since she's the only option barring co...

Rena's weapon is only about a foot in length which is the length of the double-edged one (the single is 8"). Here's another single-edged at 15.5" (nearly 10" on the blade): [spoiler] http://www.oldtools.co.uk/images/tools/edge_tools/et261/et261.zoom.jpg [/spoiler] Also, there's the no...

Rena's billhook isn't that huge either, despite how it looks when shown.

BILLHOOK. Pretty sure I heard that before too and couldn't remember it; cleaver is pretty much completely wrong but, hey, it sounded better than saying "that giant slicing thing." Plus, I refuse to call it an axe like so many translations seem to since it's not one ... though I guess it is...

Hrm ... Ar Tonelico 2 just got announced for US (ironically, around the same time as Persona 4 hits here; space some releases so I can actually PLAY these games!) ... damn it. Now I need to play through AT1 I suppose, though the stories are apparently unrelated. Image (huge) Link here [spoiler] http...

Of course, Knives are used in Watanagashi-hen too. Just a weird trend and was my first thought upon watching the intro song for the first time ("OH GOD THAT STRANGE CLEAVER THING"). At least it's blatantly obvious about it and not like, say, Shuffle! where I totally didn't see the psycho-b...

Claymore isn't bad but it suffers from the, "oh shit, we've caught up with the source material FAKE ENDING GO!" Then again, Claymore is monthly releases so it's not like they could've waited _five_ years for enough content for a sequel so I don't blame them. If you didn't like Berserk, you...

The sad part is ... I have most of this memorized but I'd be hard pressed to tell you today's date without a lot of thought/cheating.

All Dominator really does is reduce the amount of time it takes to max Force for Force Skill: Dominate. If you already use that for Bosses or had planned to, it doesn't really change anything.

I have no idea if the Zamiel Gun actually reduces your Accuracy. I used it until I went back and got the Agneyastra and I never really noticed that many misses. Then again, I also used +AGI and +STR on her instead of actual Armor and that's far from a scientific test >>.
