    Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

    Nah, he's a villain, alright. I'm just enthusiastic about him because he's not the original anime "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! EXPLOSIONS!" psycho-villain who is boring as all get-out. I didn't care for the Sacred Blacksmith too much. I was through Episode 6 contemplating dropping it when I heard...

    Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

    The best part of Episode 37 for me is probably the "kawaii" simplified cartoon-drawing of Hawkeye and Black Hayate saying Ed likes Winry. God Hawkeye is hot. I've been away from the PC for most of the last four days so I've no idea what (if anything) of C77 is already out, but I'm hoping for the...

    I've looked and looked and looked all over the Pixiv pages for a way to sort images by popularity and I just can't seem to find one. So I've been stuck looking at images in the order they've been uploaded to the site -- a really crummy way to try and find good artwork! Anybody know (a) how I...

    Suzumiya Haruhi Season 2

    Wow, the trailer totally shows the mega-spoiler I'd been keeping under wraps. Now do you see why I've been so excited for Book 4, Ben? :D She's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! (--> 0:27) As for Yuki showing emotion, I haven't read the books beyond #1, so I had no idea about this development. I've seen the...

    More than 3,000 detained in porn crackdown in China.

    I hate to say it, but that goal is akin to saying that you want a telephone wire which is untappable by any government. Any phone line can be tapped, and (I dare say) any Internet pipeline can be filtered. And in both cases, the customer never knows that he's been wiretapped / denied access to...

    More than 3,000 detained in porn crackdown in China.

    Maybe they all had sex before they got to China? :P [/smartypants answer that doesn't hold up to even a high schooler's level of knowledge about Chinese history] For real, though, it's not like there are 1+ billion Han Chinese (afaik), and even the so-called "Han Chinese" of the 21st century...

    translation: "it can be done"

    You're absolutely right. I pictured the ralliers saying those words amongst themselves in the crowd, and I can't picture the event organizer saying it. Now that you put it that way, you're right that it'd be a misfit for the campaign slogan. Btw, your "other nitpick" is what I was saying in...

    Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

    Agreed. If Father had both the desire and the ability to make an army of homonculi instead of a modest seven, he would have done it ages ago. The fact that he hasn't means at least one of the two (desire or ability) is lacking: and either is enough of a nail in the coffin for Raven's dreams. I...

    translation: "it can be done"

    Problem #1: the yes in "Yes, we can" has an assertive character to it in American English. (I'm guessing the si in your Spanish example has a similar gusto to it in Mexican.) はい ("hai", yes) is your standard affirmative. It's like a normal English "yes" and doesn't really carry the oomph which...

    More than 3,000 detained in porn crackdown in China.

    It doesn't matter that not all attempts are successful: an increase in successful sexual encounters is still an increase. Before China's ban on porn: A, B, C, D, E, and F were men who were already having sex. G, H, I, and J were men who were not having sex. All ten of them watch porn. After...

    More than 3,000 detained in porn crackdown in China.

    As per your own argument, the alternative to pornography is genuine sex. I don't think it's a stretch to say that "as pornography goes down, sex goes up; and as sex goes up, baby-making goes up." The argument can be made that pornography encourages people to think about (and to engage in) sex...

    More than 3,000 detained in porn crackdown in China.

    You'd think the government would allow people to look at pornography considering: (a) the size of the population, (b) the limitations already in place on how many children a family can have, and (c) the comparatively more expensive alternatives to society (medical bills for venereal diseases...

    Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

    Episode 36 was kind of slow. Not too bad, really, but it opened up several questions without providing much in the way of answers. The pre-opening credits scene was excellent. I would never have suspected that Hohenheim's hidden face in the famous family photograph would have been of him...

    new releases March + April 2010

    The original Japanese title is itself sort of peculiar. "Rensa" (like in Puyo Puyo :)) means a chain or a connection. Byoutou I had to look up, but it's the Japanese word for "ward" as in "the ward of a hospital." So the original title was "Chain Ward." Sort of peculiar. The only chain in the...

    Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

    35 was better than 34, but it ended at what felt like more of a mid-episode cliffhanger than an end-episode cliffhanger. Then again, the episode (as a whole) felt like 1½ episodes, so I guess that may be part of the reason why, and also a reason why I shouldn't be complaining. :) (Better 1½ than...

    Watched 34. It was meh-okay material. Very disappointed with their portrayal of Sloth since, well, he's not really lethargic. He only fits his name insofar as a sloth (the animal) moves slowly, and so does he. But the sin of sloth is, like ... procrastinating, for example. Being lethargic. "I...

    A popular myth amongst men is that married women become upset if they discover that their husband is masturbating.

    Rather than deter them, a wedding ring will attract men who pursue married women. A "stay the fuck away from me" ring, were our society to invent one, would still attract those men who pursue the hardest of hard-to-get women. To be honest, and this may just be the inexperienced and hopeless...
