The Daily-Chit Chat of 09'

[Nick]

Actually I'm going to dissent and say that L's death was one of my more favored parts of the series.

I agree. Despite not liking it occurring, it was one of the best episodes in Death Note. There are a few others that I feel were great as well, like when Misa was introduced, and when Light kills the fake L.

But most of those, as stated, were up until the point where L was killed. After that, there aren't really many episodes that could surpass those in my opinion.

It was pretty good though. We're talking about the Conqueror of Shambala or whatever, right? XD

And in Death Note, I was rooting for Light up until after L's death in which he started to become a real ass. After that, I wanted him to fail. But then I started rooting for him again after...I think after he began his time against Near or whatever. I was really disappointed his final scheme didn't work. XD

Yes! I liked Light as a character and as Kira, but unlike when you started disliking him, I disliked him when he started using Misa like a tool.

 

[Gymnotide]

What time restraints? :O It was made as a movie exactly because they wanted to have a longer way to end the series.

It was going to be twice as long, but they had to cut it down to 105 minutes.

 

[Ryoutarou]

Yeah. If you followed the plot, it REALLY rushed things by killing off some key characters in what I think were anticlimactic ways (that is, in comparison to the other deaths in the series?)

And the final battle was like what? A minute long?

FMA really wasn't a series driven by battles like certain shows, so I don't think it mattered too much in the long run. I always found the random as heck plot and way a lot of things from the series were closed up made the thing a worse movie. Which makes me glad the second series will redo things, I would have loved the original if it just ended at 51.

Wasn't the German Nazi chick a giant blob of goo or something? I'm having a real hard time remembering. And I don't remember any of the main guys getting killed off...unless I totally forget everything fro- Oh yeah. Wasn't it...uhh..Greed or Envy that died in that fight against the sand thing?

Yes. I agree. I liked Light as a character and as Kira, but unlike when you started disliking him, I disliked him when he started using Misa like a tool.

Yeah, it was the point in which he slapped the drink out of her hands when I just disliked him. Otherwise, he was great. I just hated Near though. He outsmarted Light, when L couldn't, which doesn't make sense, since L was way better than Near and oh well. XD;

 

[Gymnotide]

This love-hate reaction towards Light was also one of the reasons why I kept watching Death Note.

I would have loved the original if it just ended at 51.

That's what I told everyone :P

 

[Ruphire]

Near was not a 'miniature copy of L'. The only way he became as good as L in investigation was with the help of Mello. If they weren't working together in some way, Near wouldn't have became the successor to L. Which some still argue is false, which goes to prove the fact that he wasn't a miniature copy.

I know he wasn't a L copy. L copy wasn't the word I was going for. He reminded me of a L wannabe. < That's what I meant.

That was the stuff that attached to her ship at the gate between the two worlds.
They killed off Hohenheim, Wrath, Gluttony, and Envy. Er, sand thing was probably Gluttony.

Haha, oh yeah! Gluttony was the blob. XD; I told you. Barely remember that movie. It's been so long since I watched it.

Yeah, Wrath was the one I meant, maybe. :/ The little girly looking guy/girl they found in the forest and Ed went with (it) to confront Gluttony?

 

[Ryoutarou]

Oh, that thing they talked about on the DVD about it originally being a four/five hour movie? Most movie scripts start out like that and eventually unimportant things are trimmed off. I think they sorta talked about that with the scene they cut involving Roy and Winry meeting at the graveyard.

Er, Wrath is a boy, but Envy made him wear his manwhore clothes.
Um, Wrath offers his life to Al so he can open the gate. They go to open it, but Gluttony appears and stops them so then Wrath distracts him and Al transmutes them both.

Well, thanks for clearing that up...XD; I really had no idea. I just remember it was a pretty decent movie, even though it was confusing to me. :x

 

[Her]

...What.

Theres too many animes you guys are confusing me with.

 

[Gymnotide]

Actually there are only two.
Also, Lelouch dies.

The way the Thule Society (which was an actual organization, by the way) was presented in Conqueror of Shamballa was just absurd. It would have been just fine if they had just stuck to technology actually available in 1920s Germany, but instead they get equipment that would have steamrolled the Allies if it had actually existed; the 1940s Luftwaffe would have killed to get their hands on a few of those liquid-fueled rocket dropships.

lol, they got destroyed before they could use them on the Allies. That was their excuse.

NYKUR vs SELKIE. I need to draw something or else I'll die.

Wasn't the point at the end that they destroyed all the technology before it could be used? Maybe I'm wrong, but I would assume that it was all destroyed during the "battle".

 

[Netto Azure]

WTHeck?

It's Hagaren discussion now?

All I have to say is, the manga is closing conclusion so to speak...
And how is the new anime going?

 

[Gymnotide]

New one starts on April 5th.

 

[Jack O'Neill]

Hermann Oberth did not develop a viable liquid-fueled rocket engine until 1929. The MP38, the favored weapon of Dietlinde Eckart's soldiers, was not manufactured until 1938. Conqueror of Shamballa took place in 1923. It's clear that the writers did do some research, but not enough.

 

[True Reign]

Nobody is a noob unless they act like one.

Seriously.
