So if everyone managically forgets that nick, then that will unlock the Lily fan in me

You know, I think it's been a while since anyone called you lolitron. It's going to come back in full force now that you've said this
It's ok for you to like Lily, she isn't really loli.

Hmm, after watching episode 10, I found it very difficult to digest everything that was said, I was left with a lot more questions than I started with.

I think I might try the novels to see if that makes any sense at all

[Sinestra]

I had quite a bit of catching up to do since i got back from vaca had to live in the real world for a little while.

As of episode 10 i am happy with the pacing of the series. It does seem to throw a lot of you at one time which could make some of the points hard to digest but that just gives us time to think on it till we get the answer. Honestly, a lot of series have been very slow moving so this is perfect. Keena is a peeking my curiosity hardcore after blondy quick explanation about her. Keena is closest to the gods it seems thats how i interpreted. Can and will she control the gods and or at this moment should be carrying out their will but does not or does she just not know
There is obviously more going on but from several explanations iv seen. Im starting to think this how demon lord thing is shame. Things are not always what they seem and if Akuto is intent on fighting what he considers the status quo i could see a lot more problems arising for him and his group.
I enjoyed the AKutoxJunko moment for what it was and the wording Akuto used was very interesting but could cause some confusion.

So many questions right now and not that many answers but thats ok by me. Considering reading the novels sometimes soon.

[Pocky Yoshi]

Episode 11 is hyping me a bit. Keena looked pretty odd there. Not say she's always been odd.

[chaos_animagic]

The censoring is really weird in this series, sometimes to a comical point.

Actually... there's an uncensored version, I think it's only on Crunchy Roll that they added in the censor...

I did a GIF a while ago of comparing the cen vs uncen... and you can clearly see the nude bodies of characters and the "covering avatar" is not there.

maybe I can find the pic again...

Even they have a source for their footage, and in this case, going by the airing date, it's from the Tokyo MX airing, which is censored. Again, just broadcast standards. Besides, the censor boxes for this series are not too intrusive and kind of cute.

Yeah that is what I was talkng about. I do know there is an Uncensored version, just pointing out the way the censors.

There are a few jokes to my confession. 1, I never thought of Lily as a loli(I don't think anyone noticed those allusions in my posts), 2, when the nickname was first used against me in this thread, it wasn't even for Lily, 3, my confession is going to mean zilch if she continues her low appearance, one liner rate, and 4, no one is forgetting that nickname "eikotron" joins that nick in that (ever growing?) list of my zaniness

I wonder what next season might add to that list

Hmm?

Actually that was just a boundary layer split. Since my post went directly below tsunade's I figured I'd reply to two posts at once. A strange thing for me to do, but it looked good on my phone

That, and I think I spent too much time on the GameFaqs boards and their "oops you can't quote me" board layout. (despite the Gamespot side of them having a forum-like posting capability)

Forgot to add there seems to be another obstacle to the whole Junko x Sai thing... apparently, Sai would have to convert to Suharism in order to marry Junko. Oh what a detail, detail...

Well, if Junko defies Suhara, and Akuto kills Suhara, there won't be a need to convert...

Junko's grandma already gave her blessings.

[mangatron]

What I was getting at is that it makes more sense for everyone to change ther belief in Suhara. For Sai to kill it without the people knowing of Suhara's deed's would only make Sai look like the enemy instead of a world-changer. So I don't really see him doing anything to the gods, rather I see Keena doing something, and... funny how Sai does his speech to Junko but didn't tell her about Suhara , I guess that's what I saw there; he'd rather show it to her than make her believe him.

That, and how hard is it to kill a computer. That's why I think there's more to this than Sai straight up going against a god.

Meh. Hattori granny just wants to get into Akuto's pants.
She's probably the one who approved the marriage.

You know, I've been thinking about this since ep 08. Did they really know who Sai was prior to this war? I mean, I'll take it from Yuri because she sure as heckler and koch knew nothing of him, and, well, if those stalker ninja's knew of this then they'd have chased Sai out long ago.

A detail we'll never see, of course. Just like the rationale behind Keena's egg abduction in ep 08, why the heck did that happen? Or rather how, which I like my explanation, but the general consensus here is... that was plain stupid

[eiyuu99]

It's hard to explain when people keep misunderstanding Akuto.

If "God" can shift its data or replicate itself, it can be difficult to eliminate it.

I like to think it was Junko telling her grandma all about her crush.....kyaa!

Didn't they knowingly arrange the marriage so they could get Maou's strength on the Hattori side, somehow having learned that Akuto is not 'evil'? Otherwise I don't think the dad, leader of a ninja clan would have given his daughter to a nobody...

As far as I can tell they didn't say the Hattori family knew already, as I menioned earlier Yuri didn't know, and it'd be pretty heartless to marry off her sister to a heart-attack inducing brother in law. Also Korone did not disclose how she went about planning all this. I'm not sure the school made it public either, from Sai's reaction to Mister X it would seem those outside of the school should not know of his title. Whether or not Junko squealed, is yet another undisclosed detail. Sure it's easy to think Junko-daddy probably consulted Suhara, but... you know

It sure was a messed up turn of events though. Had Junko not asked Korone, it probably would have been a secret to her too. Then Junko asks Sai to come over to her house, without disclosing the details of why. Upon Sai's arrival, Junko-daddy asks Sai one of the worst vague questions someone can ask a rather dense person, which at this point I believe Sai still didn't know it was about marriage. Then Junko thinks that sooner or later things will end up in bed so she decides upon sooner rather than later. This is where Sai thinks Junko is being forced to act without consent, thus crushing Junko's hopes and she flees.

Uh... how many misunderstandings is that? I won't even bother to count my post, someone do it and you win a Oreo

[Wrath88]

1. Sai thinks the invitation is so she can keep an eye on him, and accepts it
2. On the train, she doesn't ask clearly, and he answers
3. Junko's dad asks that question, to which Sai gives an equally misinterpreted answer
4. The dinner party, by which its heading for a spectacular train wreck.

[eiyuu99]

There's also the 5th, where Akuto thought Junko is being forced
and dense mode went online.

[mangatron]

heh I guess you guys win a cookie? Oh, was that Classic Oreo or Uhoh Oreo?

So eh, between real life (teleconference with my superior was a surprise), not-so-free time, and trying to fit another 4koma before tomorrow, I finally got to posting around on my blog:

One thing I wanted to talk about, heh well more than one thing maybe, did anyone notice, that there really is nothing between Brave and the Maou? Ok maybe I should say, his destiny about Brave defeating the Maou was made up. Why? Well, recall the headmaster and Bouchirou took care of the previous Maou. Doesn't this mean that there was no previous Brave/Hero (due to the, well, "Heroes" of the previous war still very much alive), and so for the Yatagarasu to declare a Hero in Hiroshi is not the same as calling out the Maou, since the previous Maou is apparently nowhere to be found, and Sai fits some of the Maou's requirements.

What I'm getting at, was that there was a previous discussion here about maybe Peterhausen would recognize D-13. but he didn't, so this means D-13 was created after the war, definitely by Bouchirou, and... here's where the question starts to ask. Remember that theory I had earlier of the Yatagarasu and Bouchizo being connected somewhat? Seeing as how it's undeniable that D-13 was created after the war, this is starting to look like the whole "Yatagarasu predicting the future of students" is a concoction of mankind, whatever the reason of the bird remains to be seen, but it is apparent there was no previous "Hero", and for the bird to say there is one could only mean it's just finding a candidate for D-13

Well, I'm gonna jet for now, but it's starting to look like there's going to be no showdown between Brave and Sai, seeing as how he is the only one (besides an unhealthy Yuri) to know why Sai is doing what he's doing(that moment of hesistation ruined anything of a rift between the two), and... I won't get my shattered helmet scene

The other odd thing is D-13 claiming it can reliably defeat demon kings. How it does know that?

Yeah, it's like it has it all figured out. It's almost like this is the third thing to supposedly know the future or something. Which is funny because Heroshi didn't really take a shot at Sai, but mostly (if not all) at Peter. I bet Mister X is the one who's really speaking to Heroshi

Ok in all seriousness, why is it that Heroshi doesn't seem to have an entire grasp of D-13? It looks like he hasn't learned everything yet. And he expects to fight a Maou?

"The worst enemy is yourself." "If you know everything about your weapons, chances are you'll know every way to defeat your enemy's defenses."

Actually that last line was invented by me.
