Just saying thanks for the info on the Exec. Meddling post. Never knew that DBZ had executive place their say so on continuing the series after the manga ended.

You're most welcomed. I understand if its not your policy to reveal the sender because I don't really care who did it. All I know is that he was breaking a rule and that I need to report it. Ah, and I apologize for sending it through visitor message since I was too frustrated (back then) to think about sending it through personal message.

Hello! I just received a reputation for posting in the "what is your favourite band" thread in the Music sub-forums. The sender of the reputation did not say who he was but he sent this message to me: "I bet you live in a fucking trailer" and I feel this was done out of sarcasm. Also, by any chance would you get to know who sent it to me?

Hello 4Tran.
Apologies for sniping at darkyness~ I really couldn't help it
I feel good knowing he read mine and I haven't read his
I have a question though. Was that really the only line from his post that actually had ... substance?

Ok may be it not as bad as i though well that is if i am reading this map right and its hard to read here let me link 2 maps one telling you where there been 8.0 etc.. and another about hazzards. http://www.seismo.ethz.ch/GSHAP/eastasia/fig3.gif

And the main pages. http://www.seismo.ethz.ch/gshap/

Ture there have been some that where that big but not too many and they conside with an eruption. This chat i am using its saying that the one that hit San Francisco 1906 that was a 7.9 came to about 12,700,000 Tons TNT.
Any way i have a feeling they where saved because they seem to be in a very modern part of jp that was ready for such earthquakes. Hmmm I am not sure what city they where in but it looks like the Philippine Plate comes right up to the Eurasian Plate (The plate that jp is on) and they meat there. The Pacific Plate is a bit more off shore from jp.
A good example of a 8.0 would be 3 that hit Mississippi region in 1811-1812. This book reads: The Mississippi first seemed to recede from its banks and its waters gathered up like a mountain, laving for a moment many boats on the bare sand.... then, rising 15 to 20 feet perpendicularly... the banks overflowed with a retrograde current rapid as a torrent. the boats were now torn from their moorings... the river took with it whole groves of young cottonwood trees. And this seems kind of true to what happen so far in the story but odds are the water that they are near by will start to flood i guess.
Any way the book i am getting alot of this from is called Essentials of Geology Second Edition by Stephen Marshak.

I would really like to know where your getting that information. My is coming from a book i used for my geo class.

can i ask an question?

Thanks bro! It looks the same and less in size!

Whether real-life women are insufferable is a different issue (and one I'm not going to delve into ), anime generally try to portray them as some sort of idealized figures. A lot of times, it doesn't work because of the disconnect between what the show is trying to tell us about them, and one's personal reaction to them. Hatsukoi, on the other hand, doesn't seem to have any trouble portraying most of them as outright horrid people, and I find that a refreshing change of pace. It also makes it easy to forgive some of that shows greater faults.

As for Hikaru no Go not being a sports anime, I challenge you to find a sports anime where the characters are more passionate/obsessed or where the actions are examined with so much attention. Next, you'll be telling me that Darts and Poker and Billiards aren't sports .


Oh, by the way, I like the work you did with the characters in the Sengoku Basara thread - did you know about the history behind them beforehand, or did you just look all of that up after watching the show? I'm also a bit undecided about the portrayal of the battles in the future. While stuff like Nagashino are absolutely fascinating, and there are tons of innovative ways to portray it, the anime's style doesn't seem to be very suited to any of them - unless Nobunaga guns down the entire Takeda army himself or something like that. Then again, I'm not sure how the show is going to handle having the characters die off one by one.
