I don't think he was twisted in the sense of beheading concubines, but torturing political enemies I hesitate to deny without having more knowledge..

Certainly I'd say his successor, Hideyoshi (another fascinating figure), is more well known for brutality than Nobunaga.

I am not too concerned about the women and children part. As far as I can tell, that is standard OP strategy for armies everywhere even up to today. While the acts itself were vile, it does not make him a "worse man" than his contempatories.

So he is just a "Standard Warlord with a vision to do big things" and thus revered by the Japanese?

Umm... assuming you were talking about the prefixings in front of some of the threads in the anime forums of course.

Rokumonsen · 2013-12-02, 00:21

Yes, I was talking about the prefixes, not the toilet and the genius detective.

Anime score music related question. I forgot her name and I am trying to remember it.
This woman sings vocals opera-ish styled for anime soundtracks from series such as Black Cat, I can't really think of many other series at the moment. However I have a page from the soundtrack booklet so maybe someone can easily answer this for me as the name I need is behind Vocalist: ACCETTAMI.

Spoiler for size:

Azuma Denton · 2013-12-02, 23:23

It read as Mochizuki Hiroyuki, but a google on that name and no entry related to Black Cat was found. So I maybe wrong too.

What is it called when Chinese/Japanese monks (I think they're monks) have these paper talismans on their faces? I think I remember seeing it in Serei no Moribito as well.

erneiz_hyde · 2013-12-03, 15:35

Those aren't monks. Those are Chinese zombies/vampires. IIRC they're called jiang shi (kyonshi in Japanese). I'm not really sure, but the talisman is usually put there to seal them back to inanimation.

I read something on TVTropes about how math as a classroom alienates a lot of people. Pretty much all the sciences and mathematics even music theory tend to alienate other people who aren't as into math. Why is that? Does it have something to do with the way it taught in schools?

The "one-answer" theory sparks fear in students when they are consistently unable to get the correct and desired answer. Human beings by nature are rational, they don't accept the blackwhite nature of some things.

Then again, some kids are just lazy to calculate and figure out the problems and instead rely on spoon-feeding and calculator. Beating and forcing them to do math until they get Stockholm is a good way to fix the problem. [/sarcasm]

The simple short answer is the "how the hell is calculus gonna help me later in life?" mentality.

Flower · 2013-12-04, 02:39

Many moons ago mathematics was actually taught as not just performing acrobatics with numbers, but as a preliminary "kindegarten" of sorts for learning how to take principles and ideas and apply them. In other words, kinda like a limited applied logic that you can "see". It's purpose was to train the mind to get used to following the train of a thought in a thorough way and even to become more "flexible" in ways so it would be grounded when approaching more involved subjects like philosophy or rhetoric or ethics or what not.

Nowadays mathematics is often taught as playing around with numbers devoid of a whole, practical organic context, and thus, well, unsurprisingly to some people it feels dry and tedious and, like erneiz hyde said "what has learning calculus got to do with real life" questions come to the surface reeaaallllyyyyy fast.

Not that learning how to use numbers is wrong, of course. That aspect of mathematics is very useful and needed and valued and all that, and for "real life" too, of course. But whether or no that limited aspect of the entire... err... intellectual discipline should be the main emotional emphasis or mental presupposition behind how it is commonly presented is an entirely different issue.

Could you quote the article? Because I find it pretty hard to believe that the sciences alienate people at all

Does West Japan Railway trains run after midnight on public holidays?
Planning a trip to Japan over the new year and planning a Hatsumōde, but it would suck if I can't get a train back to the hotel afterwards...

On the website it says the last train is 10+pm on the 31st and first is 5+am on the 1st though... Although I found on some sites that Tokyo trains run through the night on new year (I'm going Osaka though)
