Gavin

[SIZE=1]A sincere albeit belated welcome to both [B]Cloud Strife[/B] and [B]Kakashigurl[/B], here's hoping you enjoy yourselves on the boards and remember if you have any questions of problems feel free to drop myself or any other member of staff a PM and we'll do our best to help you out. Welcome back to both [B]Heaven's Cloud[/B] and [b]Fourth World[/b], it's always good to have old members return after a spell away. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Well the third last page at least makes it clear that Tousen should've been able to avoid the attack, he was simply so caught up in being able to see and espousing his self-righteous BS that his guard was dropped. Kind of ironic seeing as he nearly killed Kensei in a similar situation. Still I would've expected his hierro to be strong enough to prevent the attack from actually inflicting a mortal wound, although it seems that was the first time Tousen used his resurrecion form. Funnily enough I don't see Hisagi getting his haori just yet, he still needs bankai to become a captain and I don't think his killing Tousen in the manner he did qualifies him under the "kill your captain in a duel". I've always actually considered Sasakibe Chojiro (1st Division VC) the probable strongest based on his position, although to be fair we've never seen him fight properly. Poor Renji of course is just constantly suffering under the Worf Effect. As for whether there's ulterior motive in the way Kubo designs certain characters looks, it's interesting that Aizen two most loyal followers were also probably Tousen and Zommari. That said this chapter gives me great hope that Ichigo will eventually be able to use his "Hell-Knight" resurrecion form as it's been dubbed properly in combat given how awesome it looks. I'm also hoping Komamura isn't going to kick it after this fight, although Unohana should be on the scene soon hopefully.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]More mecha for me, this time with the [B]Starship Trooper OVA[/B]s which are surprisingly decent and much closer to the original material than any of the movies or the tv-show.[/SIZE]

[quote name='John'][I]What[/I].[/quote] [SIZE=1]I agree. But it's Boo's mind so somewhere it makes sense to him. [/SIZE]

[quote name='Indi'][FONT=Arial][COLOR=Indigo]Denied. :p[/COLOR][/FONT][/quote] [SIZE=1]Obstruction of justice, I'll see you in court as well.[/SIZE]

[quote name='Sara'][FONT=helvetica]To be fair, "Disney" isn't really a place, and that slogan doesn't refer to the company as a whole.[/FONT][/quote] [SIZE=1]Although apparently there is actually a place called [/SIZE][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney,_Oklahoma"][SIZE=1]Disney, in Oklahoma.[/SIZE][/URL]

[SIZE=1][quote name='Magus'][/SIZE][SIZE=1][COLOR=navy]It's spoiler time. Wait, wha..? There better be a scene of someone being snuck up on because [spoiler]Tousen[/spoiler] going out like that is equivalent to the espadas, but much lamer. I like Hisagi and all, but that throws a huge monkey wrench into things as far as power comparisons go.[/COLOR][/quote] I have to admit, the original "fake" spoiler of Tousen looking like a sort of cricket/grasshopper with scythe hands/weapons beating Komamura and then having Kensei switch out of his fight with Wonderweiss to take over made so much more sense than this. Seriously Kubo, remember when Allon kicked Hisagi's *** to the point where he was almost dead ? Or how about two chapters ago when you had Tousen stab him through the midsection and fall off the side of a building, again almost dead. So now he just came back and one-shotted the guy who did the same to him who for all intents and purposes should be so far out of Hisagi's league it's unfathomable. It's probably being set up as cliffhanger for the week after next in which time Tousen will just regenerate the wound and one-shot Hisagi yet again. At least I'm hoping it is, otherwise Bleach is becoming almost intolerably dull and predictable in its fights. [/SIZE]

[quote name='Nerdsy'][COLOR=deeppink]Does somebody in the know mind explaining why [URL]http://www.otakuboards.com/member.php?u=40391[/URL] this is listed as Admin? I'm mordibly curious.[/COLOR][/quote] [SIZE=1]What the deuce?[/SIZE]

[quote name='chibi-master']Porcupines float in water.[/quote] [SIZE=1]I must test this claim at some point.[/SIZE]

[quote name='John']We could easily change it to a system where there's fun times on both ends of the spectrum, such as an RPG-esque "good/evil" meter. People like Boo would probably head to the "good" side very quickly, and others like that corporate tyrant Gavin would be dominating the "evil" side. If someone actually wants to move their meter one way or the other (or if they want to stay as neutral as possible), they might even change the way they post accordingly. [B]Hell, you could conceivably base entire OB events off of a uniquely-themed reputation system.[/B][/quote] [SIZE=1]You have officially piqued my interest. Also I'm suing you for libel and defamation of character over the use of the term "tyrant" to describe me. Those socio-economic studies which indicated my business empire gives me a large degree of political control, autonomy and immunity from legal requirements have since been acknowledged by their authors to be grossly inaccurate, at least those by authors who can be found... [/SIZE]

[quote name='Sara'][FONT=helvetica]The title [I]does[/I] call them "inglorious." I'm not sure what else you were expecting from them.[/FONT][/quote] [SIZE=1]True, but equally they're the closest thing the movie has to heroes. Added to that the majority of people in this thread, and most who saw the movie seemed to like them so it's just a difference of opinion.[/SIZE]

[CENTER][SIZE=1][IMG]http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/4977/howtwilightshouldhaveen.jpg[/IMG] [/SIZE][/CENTER] [SIZE=1] I wish to see the aftermath of this meeting. [/SIZE]

[quote name='Boo'][FONT=lucida fax]Known problem. :V We had that for about four years. [B]Mainly because I was probably allergic to the Christmas tree[/B], but I think I convinced my mum that I wasn't allergic enough to give up having a real tree.[/FONT][/quote] [SIZE=1]Why am I completely unsurprised by the fact you're allergic to Christmas trees Boo ?[/SIZE] :p

[quote name='Magus'][SIZE=1][COLOR=navy]Tousen's becoming more anal by each chapter. I wonder if the rule that applied to the espada applies to him as well? Release and he dies.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/quote] [SIZE=1]Possibly, I'm more intrigued by the fact Tousen even has access to a resurrecion form. I saw a theory over on Bleach Asylum that basically equated the Vasto Lordes to Claymore's Abbysal Ones and while I'm not convinced by the theory itself it did cause me to mull over the idea for a bit. Either way unless someone steps in for Komamura, or Komamura displays some previously hidden power then I'm afraid Soul Society may be about to receive its first casualty in the winter war. Regarding Aizen and Shinji, I have to say I think Shinji's zanpakutou could give Aizen a scare, as he so eloquently put it, Aizen's isn't the only one which controls the senses of others and Aizen has never seen Shinji's zanpakutou in action. Plus he is the de facto leader of the Vizards, which considering there's four captains in their rank means he may just be stronger than he looks, and of course there was the Grimmjow fight. All in all, I think it will be interesting. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Well aside from the initial disgust, it's more so, how exactly does he implant eyes in his arm without all the necessary nerves and tissue to make them function. Of course Danzo is hunting Kabuto to help heal his eye and arm apparently. Also [I]Sharingarm [/I]as it's been dubbed is just so terribly lame it fits this haxy weapon perfectly. As for Fu and Torune, I imagine it's simply down to the fact there may even be supporters of Root and Danzo among Konoha's staunch loyalist clans. Interesting turn of events. [/SIZE]

[quote name='chibi-master']Who, fangirls? You far underestimate our numbers. We have a very large nation, the location of which is known only to the most devoted fangirls ever.[/quote] [SIZE="1"] :nono: There was a hyperlink for the Wikipedia article on the Principality of Sealand embedded, and given it is a micronation, well I don't think I need to finish this sentence. As for invading, conquering and integrating the yaoi fangirldom into my empire, I think I would rather go and hang myself till it really hurt. (10 points for whoever gives me the reference)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]And just finished [B]Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid[/B]. You were right Aaryanna, [B]Fumoffu [/B]was definitely my favourite of the three seasons, such a pity it only had 12 episodes to it, there should've been at least full series. Still I kinda wish the "will they won't they" between Sousuke and Chidori had been resolved, it almost seemed like it was going to be in the final episode of TSR. :animesigh[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principality_of_Sealand"]Best (micro)nation ever.[/URL] I look forward to invading, conquering and integrating it into my empire. [/SIZE]

[quote name='chibi-master']And Gavin, I have many worse Star Wars themed stories, pics, and whatnot piled up in case of your revolt against it.:catgirl:[/quote] [SIZE=1]I can only imagine. But there's just something about Hayden Christensen's pose. That and of course Satan crafted fangirls' imaginations out of the deepest, darkest depths of Hell. [/SIZE]

[quote name='Nerdsy'][COLOR=deeppink]Don't taunt me into posting something even more offending to your sensibilities. I have the means. [center][IMG]http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/3792/headerpicsw.png[/IMG][/center] You've been warned.[/COLOR][/quote] [SIZE=1]Alright, alright, you win this one. Jesus that's like eight different kinds of creepy. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]His neighbours were irked a 90 year old veteran would raise and lower a flag ? /facepalm Seriously there's something terribly wrong when people won't respect those who've put their own lives in danger to defend their country. They're just lucky he didn't open up a case of Badass Grandpa on them. [/SIZE]

[quote name='Nerdsy'][COLOR=deeppink][spoiler]I feel misled. That picture was titled "yaoi" when I found it. Way to let me down, internets.[/spoiler][/COLOR][/quote] [CENTER][IMG]http://images.icanhascheezburger.com/completestore/2008/6/20/justasplanne128584548650291636.jpg[/IMG] [/CENTER]

[SIZE=1]That was "adult-themed" ? Damn I feel cheated by the thread title. I was expecting boobs at least.[/SIZE]
