Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
They make a lot of terrible series. And by terrible I mean down right awful and unwatchable.
They gave me Higurashi though so I can't complain too much. The only other DEEN series I've liked since was Giant Killing. But that was great, shame nobody actually bought it
I could never trust a masked man. Besides, DEEN made Ranma 1/2 so they will always be ok in my book.

Gintama 236:
You know, I was amazed that after all this time, the sad piano theme and the denouement harmonica theme still got to me... then I was thinking that this episode would be amazing if it was yet another
. I laughed when it turned out to be true. Ahh, amazing how this show can just do that to you - especially since you just never know when it is being serious and when it is having fun.

I thought it was supposed to be more around his magical circuits then physical damage which can easily be healed by all the healers. His wife seems like a powerful healer and mage

Except his
wife even said he would never be able to do magic again, and that the only reason he was still alive was because of a miracle.
And he still
lost way too much blood than a human would be able to endure. He should have died before Lancer even arrived.
Kayneth is alive because Lancer got to him and brought him back to Sola-Ui before Kiritsugu could pump a ton of bullets into his comatose body. There's no "miracle" or anything. He was healed physically by Sola-Ui, just like Maiya is being healed by Iri. Kiritsugu's magic bullet does extensive and irreversible damage to a mage's magical circuits which runs through their entire bodies. The physical damage he suffered was all internal, because his magical circuits were all severed and rearranged incorrectly. It isn't enough to automatically kill a person, but since they're basically comatose after that, Kiritsugu can easily finish them off when they're unconscious. Kayneth was rescued, so he's still alive. But he will never use magic ever again. He probably can't even walk right now.
I think your confusion is that you are taking a common expression way too literally. "It's a miracle that you didn't die" is just a way of saying "you're lucky you survived that".

Makes sense.

What did she ever do to you?
Ringo isn't exactly an easy character for a first role in voice acting, but Marie Miyake has done an excellent job.
Plus, she looks like Ringo! (sort of)
I guess Miyaki voicing Ringo ultimately was DESTINY
YAY
I guess that means I hate you....sorry
Whatever I declare Penguiondrum to be the Anime of Forever, she starts to annoy me with her stupid antics and he obbsession with stuff that only naive person would bellieve in.
DESTINY.
I will endore anything just to get my dislike towards here tomaximum degree.

I don't want to argue your opinion, since it is perfectly fine to dislike a character. But a large part of Ringo's character is based on juvenile naiveté, this is her appeal (At least to me) and what makes her compelling to watch.
CornBurrito
Member
She has undergone quite a bit of character development.
And like... all the characters in the show believe in destiny.
Well now you know.
I have to admit tough, that I am lagging behind the show and I have yet to catch up, so my feeling twards Ringo may change, but yeah. I really hated how selfish, ego-centric, naive she was about the whole thing.
Someones trash is another persons treasure, I guess.
for the reasons you have stated and more is why I really dislike Ringo. Poeple hate Ano Hana because of the charcters but I find Ringo more annoying than all of those people in that show.

Clearly not enough people in here believe in horoscopes and destiny.
Not strictly speaking true. Kanba outright states that he doesn't know if there is such a thing as fate, only that he hates the idea of it, and Shoma says the same thing for different reasons. Sanetoshi asks them outright if they believe in fate, after all.
Kanba hates fate because
he thinks it means that either he is doomed not to have Himari or that he will become inhuman as a result of it. However, he wants to ask "God", whoever that may be, if everything really IS pre-destined - rather than believing in it outright.
doesn't really say if he believes in fate or not. What he DOES say is that IF fate exists then it's very cruel that the Takakura family has been pre-destined to be in the shitter.

Nichijou episode 17
I really like it, but I can perfectly see why some people would just hate it.

I totally get why people don't like Nichijou too. I mean they're also totally wrong, but not everybody likes the same things especially when it comes to a show like Nichijou.

If you need more than that you're just being greedy.

It's a calling. Nothing wrong with having a purpose to your life.
Well, I just learned I unnecessarily spent about $40 more than I needed too on a few things due to an inability to be patient, and all I got out of it extra was a collectible box and coin. That's what I get for not anticipating price drops and RightStuf having a Black Friday sale, I guess. Lesson learned.
... on that note, I remember people talking about RahXephon a while back; is $20 good for the whole series+movie?

Yes, that's a pretty good price for any half decent anime series, and RahXephon is a whole 26 episodes long.
The next Miyazaki.

It's more like you're buying the whole series and the movie is just there like a free AOL disc.

Totally would marry. *Proposes Fabulously Max!*
I must say, while I don't particularly think Madoka is very groundbreaking, the parodies associated with it never fail to humor.
I hope that one day I can find the conviction to believe in something with such ferocity

Yes, this is why I didn't mention the movie earlier. It's a post-modernist work in the vein of Eureka 7: Pocket full of Rainbows.

Okay, the first part was a little weak but, my squid, Sanae was brillant today! And next week will be so fantastic with three of the best chapters of the manga.
