Code Geass R2..The end of an era..All Hail Lelouch!!!!


thats it..the end of a masterpiece..even if i had been having doubts post lulu turned into a rabid emperor-wannabe mid-series (painful reminders of death note mid to end T_T), this last episode made everything better and sooo way way more..exceeded my wildest imaginations to turn out the most beautiful anime ending in history (well maybe except for fma..but now thats getting a 2nd season, so dusnt really count!)..truly a most magnificent ending to a magnificent series..i was half fearing another cliffy a la season 1 and a 3rd season or ovas after this..never expected everything to be wrapped up so well in just one episode..or actually in the last 10 mins or so, where it went beyond awesomeness to like the realm of total divine godliness (that probably made no sense :P)

i truly have never cried so much for an anime character than i did for lulu (not even close to my almost non-existent tears for light..like him as i did, for me he died along with L..and not even as much as for kamina in ttgl..and he was like total gar!..plus it came as a complete shock..most unexpected death evah!)..and im not even a lulu fangirl to begin with..plus i was always continually disgusted with either (or all) suzaku, kallen, nunnally, rolo, shirley, villetta..not to mention euphie..and how on earth could i forget nina..she tops my hate-list in both seasons..thats like reallll hate!!..first season shes a useless git who does certain things off certain ppl's pictures (no matter that "certain ppl" r also on my hate list) and second season she makes something a million times worse than the atom bomb, hands it to the enemy and expects it not to be used and actually has the cheek to be shocked that it wiped out an entire city..i mean wow woman, were u dreaming when u made this thing????..plus weird no-memories-cc..she was a pain in a lottt of places..and all this not even counting all the minor characters!!..and that too only for being totally and completely useless/spineless/wimpy/sucky characters who indulged in pointless screaming matches when they should really be trying to fly those huge mechas and kill the enemy rather than chattering away to glory!..charles and schneizel (and later..marriane) for being terribly poor anti-anti-heroes if nothing else..also ones gotta admit that dear orange-kun was there only to serve as the comic content..till the very end in fact (cant blv they actually made orange-kun pick oranges!!!..hehe..lol..lol..really..lol)..so the only people i was left with any respect for by the end of it were cornelia (and that knight of hers), actual-original-pizza-hogging-with-code-and-totally-tsundere cc and the gr8 mass of awesomeness known as lelouch lamperouge..and well after the last episode, to a certain extent, suzaku..not as zero tho coz lulu will always rule as that (yes..even after death..or coded..or however he is now)..

so anyway my point is that even tho i totally hated the characters, was frustrated with how the story was going mid-series and was seriously expecting something worse than light's fate in death note, that last episode just went and killed me..so i am now reborn as a total lulu fangirl who has actually gone and downloaded and read every lulusuza doujin scanlated (sadly not that many tho) and is happily reading every new fanfic gracing ff.net post ep 25 (some of them are really beautifully written)..and all in the space of the scant few hours since watching the last ep and with my awesomely sucky net speed..and did i mention that i've got the ost on repeat..and can't stop tearing up a little every time i hear "continued story" (now more so after iv heard it during the epilogue thingy)..kinda like how i reacted to "innocent days" and "stories" after the 1st season..just that then i was really sad about lulu guilting himself over our dear massacre princess..and now im just sad..period..

but i am so so soooo glad that the ending turned out like it did..if only death note had ended that way, with light's death not so pathetic and actually planned out by him..coz he does leave the world a better place, tho that kinda takes 2nd place while hes shown to b oh so happy being a megalomaniac to the end..while lulu is just awesome how he sacrifices himself for the greater gud..those last few scenes couldn't have been any better any way i think of it..leaving the way he did.."zero requiem"..was just perfect..i just hope that whats goin around on the geass forums is correct and that hes actually in cc's world..inherited the code from charles and became immortal after suzaku "killed" him..or else that ending scene and the whole point behind the lyrics of the song and cc's words is just not there..but even if lulu really died then at suzaku's hand..its still no less perfect..i guess that was the only time that i actually felt bad for suzaku (n thats saying something coz i was most coldhearted during the euphie death scene..hehe)..having to kill your best friend, especially after uv finally gotten over all ur issues of him killing ur girl n deceiving the world into thinkin shes a mass murderer, etc etc blah blah..and to carry on being zero..has to fill some really huuuge shoes there poor kid..

anyway..no point me ranting here like this..considering the ppl who read this blog (if any!), do not watch animes..and have certainly not watched this and will understand not even a single word of it..unless of course i can get ananya to watch it and then go all "wheeee lets discuss the awsum ending"..which will take a lotta time..hehe..but this was just sooo epic that i just had to write about it..lets hope one day i can read it myself and laugh at how weird n lulu-luvin i was..hehe..

sore ja!
mata ne!!

ps: like sumone said..im gonna miss geass monday mornings :P..ahh well i just hope vampire knight guilty is gud n junjou romantica even half as gr8 as the manga..plus hueco mundos almost back!!

i have no idea why i am even hitting the publish button for this crap!

so here i am..dead tired n sleepy..just back from a movie and dinner outing ("rock on" was ok.."crossroads" was passable)..waiting for a manga to get downloaded so i can go die on my bed for the night (yes i did mean to type "die"..not "lie"..it's not a typo!)..and well so i was just cleaning out my bookmarks and chanced upon all my friends blogs..reminded me that even i used to write sumthg sumtime..habit's totally gone now tho..ever since i actually grasped the reality of my impending graduation - which in my book reads as "sayonara jap stuff" - i have been finishing off stuff at an alarming rate..anime..manga..doujins..movies..u name it, im doin it!..the same i - who detested downloading stuff coz it cluttered up my comp..and who is famous for beating even kumbhkarna when it cums to sleeping - am actually waking up at 5 am to download stuff!! (in case ppl r getting ideas here, its just coz our dear darling internet connection cums on then..im pretty sure i wudnt hav bothered had v nt had net restrictions)..it's just hit me that i don't even have a whole year in which to watch stuff..and that i wudnt b able to follow anime n manga as they cum out in japan from the next spring season..ergo bye-bye fma 2 T_T

my life as i know it is gonna b over..and i am not quite sure that the life i will be acquiring will be anythg to my taste, let alone be as awesome as im used to..and now that people are gettin placed right n left, n my only (and quite lonely) refrain is "litigation", "oh shit!" (and certain variations thereof) has become quite a regular in my vocab..

anyway, so 70% of the download is dun..sumthg wich wud hav normally taken 5-10 mins is now dragging on for years coz of our awesum net wich just has to try n surprise us every time with its amaaaazing lows..however, i find myself unable to drag my fingers over the keyboard any more, and very strongly think that i shud desist before i start spouting embarrassing nonsense (as opposed to my regular nonsense)..

so..cheerios!

ps: i like to criticise..which is to say i like bitching abt stuff but think its way cooler n awesum to call it sumthg more fancy and formal! (and i hav no idea why i included it here)

thought for the day: "of talk..or the lack of it.."

what do i talk about..nothing really..anytime anyone asks me "hi..wassup??", my one standard answer would always be "nothing"..or variations thereof..or if there's a lull in the conversation and the dreaded "wat else" comes to be asked..again the same answer is provided..however its more often than not found that i remain chatting with people for hours on end..talking about this very same "nothing"..right now too jst got off the phone..spent more than 200 bucks calling up sum guy (who'll kill me if he reads this n sees himself addressed as merely "sum guy"..lol)..and i really can't point out what amazing conversation we conducted for the past 2.5-3 odd hours..but i wasn't bored for a second of it..tho i cant say that it was stuff of legends either..it was just..something..guess its the same with chats..i chat all night with people on conversations wich start out as both of us having nthg to convey..and end up as god knows what..my record being more than 10 hours at a stretch talking to this guy who till that time id never spoken to in my life and had just added coz he was an ex-classmate..i hav no idea how the time passed but pass it did..and it was amazing how i could actually talk of completely inconsequential things for what amounted to half a day straight!!

its weird coz i know exactly how much i can actually contribute to an active conversation..before long the "aar ki" phenomenon comes along..every single time..and i am very conscious of the fact that i actually have nothing i wanna say..but somewhere down the line i realise its hours later and im still speaking to the person..and its not like he/she is the only one speaking and im just keeping mum and nodding along..i realise im speaking too, tho god knows how and on what!!

its truly mystifying..

just a lil sumthing..

was jst browsing thru the lil bits n pieces of creativity i am apt to pen down n forget all about..the following is one such *thing*..dunno what to call it..a poem it is not..nor is it prose..just a few lines..frankly don't even remember writing it..truthfully most of my most weird poems n ficlets get written when m half asleep..ones which i look at the next day n go "ehhh..where did that come from??"..hehe..anyway so this piece is obviously incomplete..more so since i removed a few really dumb n mb-ish lines :P..jst a few haphazard thoughts..dunno why i even wrote it..gets weirder every time i read it..but i dnt think il actually ever get to finishing it or adding anythg of substance..n i kinda like how weird n abrupt it sounds..hehe..and its not as short as a few of the others..so here goes..crappy as it is..suggestions for a title most welcome..

you were the puzzle i couldn't solve..
the question i had no answer for..

you were the drug i craved..
the smoke swirling in my lungs..

you were the words of my poems..
the melody to my songs..

you were a dream i chased after..

forever the prince charming of my fairytale..

my happiness..sadness..pain..joy..
everything was you..

you were the love of my life..

my heart..soul..reason for being..
always..

~ Lullaby for Lawyers ~

There are rats there are bats
There are stinky mangy cats
But the worst thing in the world is a lawyer.
There are weasels there are skunks
There are bandits there are punks
But the worst thing in the world is a lawyer.
With their quips and their quiddities
Their fees and their contingencies...

There are lice there are mice
There are lots of things not nice
But the worst thing in the world is a lawyer.
With their 'res ipso locuter'
And their 'respondeat superior'
Yes the worst thing in the world is a lawyer.

There's thrombosis, halitosis
And there's diverticulosis
But the worst thing in the world is a lawyer.
Diarrhea, gonorrhea and seborrhea
But the worst thing in the world is a lawyer.
With their proximate causes and their escape clauses
Yes the worst thing in the world is a lawyer.

With "affirmative defenses" - I
would rather see a dentist.

There are rats there are bats
There are stinky mangy cats
But the worst thing in the world is a lawyer.
There are weasels there are skunks
There are bandits there are punks
But the worst thing in the world is a lawyer.
With their quips and their quiddities
Their fees and their contingencies
Yes the worst thing in the world is a lawyer.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ Brothers ~

Forgive me, little brother
I am to be blamed.
It's forbidden to try to return
One taken by the earth.

The one who knows the law of existence
Could help me to find the answer.
I made a terrible mistake
There's no cure for death.

Dear mother, sweet mother!
We loved you so much.
But all our efforts
Were spent in vain.

I tempted you
With the wonderful hope
Of returning our home.
My brother, it's all my fault.

Don't cry, don't be sad, big brother.
You're not the only guilty one.
There's only one road before us,
We will purge our sins completely.

I cannot blame you.
I am not hurt at all.
Grievous is our sin
To desire to be stronger than anybody.

Dear mother, sweet mother!
We loved you so much.
But all our efforts
Were spent in vain.

I too was tempted
With the wonderful hope
Of returning our home.
I'm guilty for all of it.


But what should we do, how should we be?
How to fix everything, to forget?
It's forbidden to try to return
One taken by the earth.

well thats all folks..
toodles..noodles..poodles!! ^_^ (ftntd. rava)

rules of anime!!

just found this on some forum..quite old actually..read it lots of times..never fails to bring out a chuckle..anyway so well it goes out to all the people who actually know wat they refer to n will laugh from actual memory..n to all those who go "ehhh??..u watch wat??"..well heres a tonneload of reasons more to laugh at what i sooo luuuurrvvvv watching then..lol..have fun peepli!!

~ 93 Rules of Anime ~
(yeah used to be 100..but then i removed all the hentai ones..so this is it..XD)

The laws of Anime is a growing list of physical, universal, and natural phenomenon that seem to appear in various forms in all sorts of anime. The original intent was an effort to classify these incidents into a list of "laws" that explained how Anime physics are different from our own (real?) world. It is our hope that you find them useful to studying Anime, or at the very least, worth a good chuckle.

#1 - Law of Metaphysical Irregularity - The normal laws of physics do not apply.

#2 - Law of Differential Gravitation - Whenever someone or something jumps, is thrown, or otherwise is rendered airborne, gravity is reduced by a factor of 4.
Some things have been known to "Float" for a few seconds before plummeting to hit the ground, vehicle, or someone's cranium.

#3 - Law of Sonic Amplification, First Law of Anime Acoustics - In space, loud sounds, like explosions, are even louder because there is no air to get in the way.

#4 - Law of Constant Thrust, First Law of Anime Motion - In space, constant thrust equals constant velocity.

#5 - Law of Mechanical Mobility, Second Law of Anime Motion - The larger a mechanical device is, the faster it moves, Armoured Mecha are the fastest objects known to human science.

#6 - Law of Temporal Variability - Time is not a constant. Time stops for the hero whenever he does something "cool" or "impressive". Time slows down when friends and lovers are being killed and speeds up whenever there is a fight.

#7 - First Law of Temporal Mortality - "Good Guys" and "Bad Guys" both die in one of two ways - either so quick they don't even see it coming, OR it's a long drawn out affair where the character gains much insight to the workings of society, human existence or why the toast always lands butter side down.
Note: Sometimes, Anime heroes or villains never really die! In these rare cases they were a clone or cyborg and the real hero/villain's suspiciously missing in "Malletspace", or something.

#8 - Second Law of Temporal Mortality - It takes some time for bad guys to die... regardless of physical damage. Even when the "Bad Guys" are killed so quickly they don't even see it coming, it takes them a while to realize they are dead. This is attributed to the belief that being evil damages the Reality Lobe of the brain.

#9 - Law of Dramatic Emphasis - Scenes involving extreme amounts of action are depicted with either still frames or black screens with a slash of bright color (usually red or white).

#10 - Law of Dramatic Multiplicity - Scenes that only happen once, for instance, a "Good Guy" kicks the "Bad Guy" in the face, are seen at least 3 times from 3 different angles.

#11 - Law of Inherent Combustibility - Everything explodes. Everything.
First Corollary - Anything that explodes bulges first.
Second Corollary - Large cities are the most explosive substances known to human science. Tokyo in particular seems to be the most unstable of these cities, sometimes referred to as "The Matchstick City".

#12 - Law of Phlogistatic Emission - Nearly all things emit light from fatal wounds.

#13 - Law of Energetic Emission - There is always an energy build up (commonly referred to as an energy "bulge") before Mecha or space craft weapons fire. Because of the explosive qualities of weapons, it is believed that this is related to the Law of Inherent Combustibility.

#14 - Law of Inverse Lethal Magnitude - The destructive potential of any object/organism is inversely proportional to its mass.
First Corollary - Small and cute will always overcome big and ugly. Also known as the A-Ko phenomenon.

#15 - Law of Inexhaustibility - No one *EVER* runs out of ammunition. That is of course unless they are cornered, out-numbered, out-classed, and unconscious.

#16 - Laws of Inverse Accuracy - The accuracy of a "Good Guy" when operating any form of firearm increases as the difficulty of the shot increases. The accuracy of the "Bad Guys" when operating firearms decreases when the difficulty of the shot decreases. (Also known as the Stormtrooper Effect)
Example:
A "Good Guy" in a drunken stupor being held upside down from a moving vehicle will always hit, and several battalions of "Bad Guys" firing on a "Good Guy" standing alone in the middle of an open field will always miss.
First Corollary - The more "Bad Guys" there are, the less likely they will hit anyone or do any real damage.
Second Corollary - Whenever a "Good Guy" is faced with insurmountable odds, the "Bad Guys" line up in neat rows, allowing the hero to take them all out with a single burst of automatic fire and then escape.
Third Corollary - Whenever a "Good Guy" is actually hit by enemy fire, it is in a designated "Good Guy Area", usually a flesh wound in the shoulder or arm, which restricts the "Good Guy" from doing anything more strenuous than driving, firing weaponry, using melee weapons, operating heavy machinery, or doing complex martial arts maneuvers.
Fourth Corollary - The more times the "Bad Guy" fires, the fewer times he will hit.

#17 - Law of Transient Romantic Unreliability - Minimei is a bimbo.
(Note: The Minority Opposition in Ohio disagrees and thinks all men who like this stuff needs to get out more.)

#18 - Law of Hemoglobin Capacity - The human body contains over 12 gallons of blood, sometimes more, under high pressure.

#19 - Law of Demonic Consistency - Demons and other supernatural creatures have at least three eyes, loads of fangs, tend to be yellow-green or brown, but black is not unknown, and can only be hurt by bladed weapons. *Also, acid has been known to work just as well...

#20 - Law of Militaristic Unreliability - Huge galaxy-wide armadas, entire armies, and large war machines full of cruel, heartless, bloodthirsty warriors can be stopped and defeated with a single insignificant example of a caring/loving emotion or a song.
First Corollary - Whenever a single war machine (mecha, starship, etc.) goes up against an entire army, the army always loses.

#21 - Law of Tactical Unreliability - Tactical geniuses aren't...

#22 - Law of Inconsequential Undetectability - People never notice the little things... like missing body parts, or wounds the size of Seattle.

#23 - Law of Juvenile Intellectuality - Children are smarter than adults. And almost twice as annoying.

#24 - Law of Americanthromorphism - Americans in Anime appear in one of two roles, either as a really nasty skinny "Bad Guy" or a big stupid "Good Guy".
First Corollary - The only people who are more stupid than the big dumb Americans are the American translators. (Sometimes referred to as the Green Line Effect)
Second Corollary - The only people who are more stupid than the American translators are the American editors and censors.
Third Corollary - Canadians are usually portrayed as smart, strong, handsome "Good Guys".

#25 - Law of Mandibular Proportionality - The size of a person's mouth is directly proportional to the volume at which they are speaking or eating.

#26 - Law of Feline Mutation - Any half-cat/half-human mutation will invariably:
a) be female.
b) will possess ears and sometimes a tail as a genetic mutation.
c) wear as little clothing as possible, if any.

#27 - Law of Conservation of Firepower - Any powerful weapon capable of destroying/defeating an opponent in a single shot will invariably be reserved and used as a last resort.

#28 - Law of Technological User-Benevolence - The formal training required to operate a spaceship or mecha is inversely proportional to its complexity.

#29 - Law of Melee Luminescence - Any being displaying extremely high levels of martial arts prowess and/or violent emotions emits light in the form of a glowing aura. This aura is usually blue for "Good Guys" and red for "Bad Guys". This is attributed to Good being higher in the electromagnetic spectrum than Evil.

#30 - Law of Non-Anthropomorphic Antagonism - All ugly, non-humanoid alien races are hostile, and usually hell-bent on destroying humanity for some obscure reason.

#31 - Law of Follicular Chromatic Variability - Any color in the visible spectrum is considered a natural hair color. This color can change without warning or explanation.

#32 - Law of Follicular Permanence - Hair in anime is pretty much indestructible, and can resist any amount of meteorological conditions, energy emissions, physical abuse, or explosive effects and still look perfect. The only way to hurt someone's hair is the same way you deal with demons... with bladed weapons!

#33 - Law of Cute Mascots - Any anime either Shojo or Shonen has GOT to have at least one cute, furry little mascot by penalty of death!
First Corollary - If it is a Shonen Anime, the hero will be accompanied by a Dog, Cat or any kind of animal, real or fake, that would be found with a hero of the male persuasion. Any animal that would be associated with girls that is following him around is there because:
a) It's his girlfriend's.
b) It is following him, despite his insistence not to do so.
c) Chicks will dig him more.
Second Corollary - If it is a Shojo Anime, the heroine will be accompanied by a cat, cute lil' mouse, or some disgustingly cute monster, or any kind of animal, real or fake, that would be found with a hero of the female persuasion. Any animal that would be associated with guys that is following her around is there because:
a) It's her boyfriend's.
b) It is following her, despite her insistence not to do so.
c) It makes her look cool.

#34 - Law of Probable Attire - Clothing in anime follows certain predictable guidelines: Female characters wear as little clothing as possible, regardless of whether it is socially or meteorologically appropriate. Any female with an excessive amount of clothing will invariably have her clothes ripped to shreds or torn off somehow. If there is no opportunity to tear off aforementioned female's clothes, then she will inexplicably take a shower for no apparent reason (also known as the Gratuitous Shower Scene). Whenever there is a headwind, Male characters invariably wear long cloaks that don't hamper movement and billow out dramatically behind them.
First Corollary (Cryo-Adaptability) - All anime characters are resistant to extremely cold temperatures, and do not need to wear heavy or warm clothing in snow.
Second Corollary (Indecent Invulnerability) - Bikinis render the wearer invulnerable to any form of damage.
Third Corollary (Probable Attire permanence) - The clothing on the hero is indestructible. Their capes, robes, (and if they are girls,) skirts, dresses, bows, or any loose clothing will just flap when they are in the middle of a fire or ice attack... Unless it's a hentai. It is believed that the clothes are made out of Anime Character hair. (re. Laws 32 & 48)

#35 - Law of Musical Omnipotence - Any character capable of musical talent (singing, playing an instrument, etc. Is automatically capable of doing much more "simple" things, like piloting mecha, fighting crime, stopping an intergalactic war, and so on... especially if they've never attempted these things before.

#36 - Law of Quintupular Agglutination - Also called "The Five-man Rule", when "Good Guys" group together, it tends to be in groups of five. There are five basic positions, which are:
a) The Hero/Leader
b) His Girlfriend
c) His Best Friend/Rival
d) A Hulking Brute
e) A Dwarf/Kid

Between these basic positions are distributed several attributes, which include:
a) Extreme Coolness
b) Amazing Intelligence
c) Incredible Irritation

#37 - Law of Extradimensional Capacitance - All anime females have an extrasdimensional storage space of variable volume somewhere on their person from which they can instantly retrieve any object at a moment's notice. This mysterious dimension is commonly called "Malletspace".
First Corollary (AKA The Hammer Rule) - The most common item stored is a heavy mallet, costumes/uniforms, power suits/armor, and large bazookas.

#38 - Law of Hydrostatic Emission - Eyes tend to be rather large in Anime. This is because they contain several gallons of water, which may be instantaneously released at high pressure through large tear ducts. The actual volume of water contained in the eyes is unknown, as there is no evidence to suggest that these reservoirs are actually capable of running out. The reason water tends to collect in the eyes is because Anime characters only have one large sweat gland, which is located at the back of the head. When extremely stressed , embarrassed, or worried, this sweat gland exudes a single but very large drop of sebaceous fluid.

#39 - Law of Inverse Attraction - Success at finding suitable mates is inversely proportionate to how desperately you want to be successful. The more you want, the less you get and vice-versa.
First Corollary - Unfortunately, this law seems to apply to Otaku in the real world...

#40 - Law of Nasal Sanguination - When sexually aroused, males in Anime don't get erections, they get nosebleeds. No one's sure why this is, though... the current theory suggests that larger eyes means smaller sinuses and thinner sinus tissue (see Law #38 above). Females don't get nosebleeds, but invariably get one heck of a blush along the cheeks and across the nose, suggesting a lot of bloodflow to that region.

#41 - Law of Xylolaceration - Wooden or bamboo swords are just as sharp as metal swords, if not sharper.

#42 - Law of Juvenile Omnipotence - Always send a boy to do a man's job. He'll get it done in half the time and twice the angst.

#43 - Law of Triscaquadrodecophobia - There is no Law #43.

#44 - Law of Nominative Clamovocation - the likelihood of success and damage done by a martial arts attack is directly proportional to the volume at which the full name of the attack is announced (known as the Kamehameha effect).

#45 - Law of Uninteruptable Metamorphosis - Regardless of how long or involved the transformation sequence or how many times they've seen it before, any "Bad Guys" witnessing a mecha/hero/heroine transforming are too stunned to do anything to interrupt it.

#46 - Law of Flimsy Incognition - Simply changing into a costume or wearing a teensy mask can make you utterly unrecognizable to even your closest friends and relatives.

#47 - Law of Mandibular Combustible Emission - All anime characters seem to have some unknown chemical on their breath that reacts VERY violently with extremely hot or spicy food. This chemical may also be responsible for the phenomenon of fire behind the eyes and from the mouth when a character (usually a female) is really angry.

#48 - Law of Electrical and Combustible Survivalism - If you get electrocuted or burned, YOU WILL SURVIVE!! Though your entire body will be scorched, seconds later, your skin won't have a trace of damage (Also known as the "Pikachu Effect").
First Corollary - When a magical bad guy/Alien/monster fires off a flame, wind, or ice attack, the resulting effect is only enough for the hero(es)/heroine(s) to be standing in the "Walking Against the Wind" stance, with his/her eyes shut and letting out a pathetic "Aaaaagh!", and yet they are never harmed. This may be in part to laws 32, 34 and sometimes 44.

#49 - Law of Female wrath - If a male character insults a female character, he will get a mallet, shotgun, or tank blast, or if she is a character that can perform magical feats, a fireball or whatever, to the head, body or whatever (Also known as the "Lina Inverse/Gourry Factor") This is because he always deserves it, and will help him to cope in today's society. (>Sniff Sniff< style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"> #50 - Law of Artistic Perversion - Most (not all) Anime artists are perverts and are under the impression that girls are willing to tear off their clothes, or wear VERY small, revealing outfits at the drop of a pin (or pen for that matter). Unfortunately, most Hentai fans are under the same impression.

#51 - Law of Uninteruptable Nominative Clamovocation - This law is a mixture of Laws 44 and 45. Regardless of how long or involved the Spell or projectile attack is, and the likelihood of success and damage done by the volume at which the full name of the attack is announced, or how many times they've seen it before, any "Bad Guys" witnessing a hero/heroine quoting the incantations for an extremely powerful attack are too stunned to do anything to interrupt it. (Also known as the "Dragon Slave Phenomenon")

#52 - Law of Telepathic Obliviousness - Most of the time, some Anime characters (usually males) will think personal (Like that he/she has sabotaged something), or perverted thoughts, while near some other character, WHO'S TELEPATHIC!! The reasons for this are:
a) They forgot that the person is telepathic.
b) They just don't give a damn.

The reasons the telepathic person doesn't react are:
a) They're preoccupied with doing something else.
b) They'd rather keep the fact to themselves that they are Telepathic.
c) They just don't give a damn.

#53 - Law of Chromatic Diversity - Air can be any color of the viewable spectrum.

#54 - Law of Old Man Comic Relief - Comic relief comes in the form of a short, bald, wise-mouthed dirty old man or alien. Or the combination of any two of those traits.
First Corollary - If old man is present, and is acting too horny, stupid, etc., there will invariably be an old woman to whap him over the head with a frying pan or something.

#55 - Law of the Wise Old Man - Little old Japanese men always know how it ends and withhold the ending from anyone, especially the hero. This includes special power weapons, ancient relics, and people who know everything.

#56 - Law of Omnipotent Unreliability - Any "Bad Guy" with Omnipotent powers/weapons will never use those powers/weapons against the "Good Guy" until it is too late. First Corollary - All "Bad Guys" suffer from Antagonistic Boasting Syndrome which require all "Bad Guys" to threaten with or exemplify their prowess and not use it against the "Good Guy".
Second Corollary- No "Bad Guy" may use any new, secret, or superior military device without one of the following events occurring:
a) The control device being broken.
b) The control device being taken by the "Good Guy".
c) The control device is in fact not the real device at all and was just "fooled" by the "Good Guy".
d) The "Bad Guy" has already lost and cannot use the device.

#57 - Law of Minimum Corneal Volume - Eyeballs may make up no less than one sixth of the face's total surface area. More so if the case is a blonde woman.

#58 - Law of Electrical Charges in Hair - Hair attracts electricity in abundance, resulting in two outcomes:
a) A positive charge will result in the spikes-flying-everywhere-behind-me look.
b) A negative charge will result in the hair-cascading-down-to-the-waist-in-a-single-sheet look.

#59 - Law of Ammunition Accuracy - When there are multiple types of ammunition available (paintballs, speaker pods), non-lethal rounds will always be more accurate when compared to "standard" or lethal shots. (Macross Plus for paintballs, Macross 7 for speaker pods)

#60 - Law of Active Female Attraction - In a comedy series, a male character's attractiveness to women is inversely proportional to how active they pursue them.
(Tenchi, Ranma, and Makoto [OVA] have a seemingly endless supply of willing girlfriends despite their lack of romantic skill while Happosai, Ataru, and Carrot couldn't get a date despite [or because of] their constant attempts.)

#61 - Law of Sweat Pore Variability - When a person is embarrassed, caught in an awkward situation, or otherwise humiliated, all sweat pores on the body contract, except for ones on the forehead. These pores expand to such a degree that a single drop could fill a Big Gulp from 7-11.

#62 - The Law of Inverse Training Time - A person who has been training for 3 years is never as good as someone who has been training for one month.

#63 - Law of Needs to Few and Many - The needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few... of even the one.

#64 - Law of Bad Humor - Whenever someone says something that is intended to be funny, whether actually funny or not, the rest of the characters (even animals) fall to the ground with their feet in the air. Sweat sometimes accompanies the fall.
(The sound of a cow mooing usually accompanies the joke as well.)

#65 - Law of Extreme Anger - Whenever a female character gets mad, such as seeing the male character with another girl, she becomes extremely strong (despite her usually helpless look) so that she can lift a 1000 ton object to hurt the guy. She can sometimes perform other punishments that are just as cruel such as pinching the guy's face so hard that it changes shape. (see law #49)

#66 - Law of Differentiated Gravitation -
First Corollary - If the airborne entity exceeds an altitude equal or greater than two times the height of the entity, gravity is decreased by an inverse coefficient relative to the upward momentum and mass/weight (if within at least 500 km of any gravity source) of the entity "jumping".
Second Corollary - The amount of Newtonian "opposite force" (in accordance to normal downward velocity; "Earth gravity" speed is equal to 32ft/sec/sec) is also inversely proportional to the "actual" speed of the airborne entity. In all actuality, an entity that appears to be flying towards a solid concrete parking lot from space will actually land, producing an opposite force of approximately 1.73 lb. of pressure. Unless this particular entity is a "Bad Guy". Then the law exhibits a mysterious exponentially proportional Newtonian opposite force, thusly increasing this variable by a factor equal to the inverse-gravity potential.

#67 - Law of Conservation of Ambient Dramatic Tension - In any situation where the Ambient Dramatic Tension increases, the "Good Guy's" Style Coefficient must be increased by a proportional amount to compensate. In any situation where this does not happen, the "Bad Guy" inevitably comes out on top. However, this usually leads to a further rise in the Ambient Dramatic tension, which will *always* be offset by an exponential increase in the "Good Guy's" Style Coefficient.

#68 - Law of Coercive Vehicular Control - No matter how complex or well defined the control system, a character controlling a vehicle of any sort always does so through means of undetectable subconscious psychokinesis.
First Corollary - Characters can perform actions with their vehicles which clearly defy normal physics (see Laws of Metaphysical Irregularity and Constant Thrust). The velocity, attitude and traction of the vehicle appear to be adjusted at will, with the degree of absolute control being proportional to the complexity and lethality of the maneuver.
Second Corollary - It is effectively impossible to remove characters from or disrupt the passage of their vehicles without the character's consent. This does not always apply to "Bad Guy" characters, or "Good Guy" characters in situations where the Ambient Dramatic Tension could increase in accordance with the Law of Conservation of Ambient Dramatic Tension.

#69 - Amendment to the Law of Conservation of Ambient Dramatic Tension - In any situation where the Ambient Dramatic Tension increases without a corresponding increase in the "Good Guy's" Style Coefficient, not only does the "Bad Guy" usually come out on top, but also his Smugness Factor increases in proportion to the rise in Ambient Dramatic Tension.

#70 - Law of The Rushing Background Effect - Whenever something dramatic occurs, a survival instinct engages, thus rendering all incoming stimulus that is not directly and immediately to the dramatic situation at hand a meaningless blur. This is often referred to as "The Rushing Background Effect". Due to the increase in brain activity and adrenaline levels in the bloodstream, the scene is often played out in slow motion.

#71 - Law of Interdimensional Hammers - Whenever a female character witnesses a male character of her preference performing any sort of questionable act (i.e. Looking at another girl or anything she might construe as perverted) she can reach into an interdimensional realm (usually behind her back) and withdraw a huge Anime Mallet of Doom with which to whack the said male over the head with. *(see Laws # 37, 49, and 65)

#72 - Law of Instant Band-Aids - Whenever a character is injured (usually in a head shot, maybe from a mallet whack) Band-Aids will always instantly appear on the wounded individual (and always in pairs, set in a cross fashion). These bandages will then, most likely, disappear by the character's next scene.

#73 - Law of Universal Edge Defense - Any projectile attack, from a blast of magic to a hail of bullets, can be easily defended against by holding a suitably cool-looking sword or other bladed weapon between the attacker and defender, usually so that the edge cuts into the incoming attack(s), causing both halves to go flying harmlessly past the defender. Observed most often in fantasy and martial arts anime.

#74 - Law of Intractable Sanity - There is no such thing as insanity in anime. When faced with horrifying supernatural forces that would drive most men mad, anime characters will either:
a) Die quickly (but in accordance with all other laws [e.g., slowdown and exposition]),
b) Get possessed by them, especially if they are beautiful girls or men in a position to ravish beautiful girls, or
c) Kill them, wipe the blood off their blades, and walk on whistling.

#75 - Law of Celestial Body Control - At a dramatically correct moment, a hero can summon a sun/moon/halo to appear behind him/her to cause a dramatic silhouette.

#76 - Law of Aura of Forgetfulness - Any hero who wishes his/her identity to remain a secret will invariably succeed regardless of disguise because everyone around him/her will forget everything. Otherwise, how does Sailor Moon keep her disguise?

#77 - Law of Cool Hair Factor - The hair of a hero will always coalesce into thick strands that drape his face into a dramatic fashion, regardless of wind, the elements, etc. *(see Laws 32 & 48)

#78 - Law of Inverse Coping - Any single event will happen to the ONE character LEAST capable of dealing with it.

#79 - Law of Martial Arts Training Invulnerability - The Myth that certain martial arts will enable you to become so strong, that you can stop a nuclear warhead with your bare palm. Unfortunately, for most otaku, they found the hard way that it just doesn't work in real life...

#80 - Law of Stereotype Captain characteristics - If a captain of any type of ship is male, he will invariably wear a big captain's cap, a long overcoat, and have a shaggy beard and mustache (pipe optional), and be a great tactician. If the captain is female, however, she will invariably be young, well endowed, and ditzy as a pole (horny father optional). Yet, she too will be a great tactician.

#81 - Law of Shades/Coolness Factor - Shades can make you instantly cool, even if you're normally a klutz.

#82 - Law of Sparklies - Whenever a character of the main character's interest appears, flowers, sparkles, or abstract circles of pastel colors appear around said character, or both. Roses with exaggerated thorns appear when it is dangerous love. No one knows why this is.

#83 - Law of Understatement - Anything that is deemed too impossible will become possible. First Corollary - Any "Bad Guy" stating "T-that's impossible!" whenever the hero is accomplishing some new feat/move/projectile will find out too late that he is wrong and will invariably be toastied.

#84 - Law of Dormant Powers - Anytime a hero is somehow outpowered and/or outclassed by the villain, he will invariably release powers/new moves he never knew he could accomplish... but his old teacher did!

#85 - Law of Style Coefficient - In a situation where a Good guy may be in dire straits, he will become stronger, smarter and more cool in a matter of seconds. (see Laws #67, 69, and 84)

#86 - Law of Bad Guy Smugness Factor - Whenever the villain actually succeeds in beating the hero, they will begin to gloat uncontrollably, because they've never won against the "Good Guy" (because they're Eeeviiil!!). They usually get so cocky, they tie the hero to a conveyor belt leading to his doom and leave to get a snack. Usually this results in:
a) The hero escaping.
b) Clean-up for the underlings.
c) The villain getting toasted.

#87 - Law of Tableware Nonexistence - There IS no spoon.

#88 - Law of The Force - Most Anime heroes are blessed with a unique sort of ability that enables bad things to happen to those that deserve it or makes things like bullets or debris totally miss them (Also referred to as "Dumb Luck"), even though they are mostly unaware of it. Those who have this ability include Vash the Stampede, Captain Justy Ueki Tylor, and Jar Jar Binks.

#89 - Law of Cat-Fighting - Two females with a grudge can and will go at each other, sometimes ripping off clothes. Sometimes it escalates so much, that property damage begins to occur.
First Corollary - A running fight can be so destructive, you can follow it from a distance just by watching for the smoke. (Also known as the "A-ko/B-ko Thing")

#90 - Law of Healing - Most anime heroes have a Wolverine-like healing factor that enables them to regenerate from a massive wound or broken bone within minutes. Being immortal sometimes helps. (Also known as the "Priss Effect".)

#91 - Law of Stereotype Crew Characteristics - All ships, either waterborne or spaceborne, have the following crew members:
a) The captain
b) His Lieutenant
c) Various female technical staff
d) A hotshot pilot
e) A cute little girl/twins (either stowaways or not)
f) The Doctor
g) The Doctor's assistant (either a spy or not)

Weighted among the crew are various quirks which include:
a) Extreme coolness/luck
b) Amazing Intelligence
c) Incredible irritation
d) Extreme cuteness
e) Irresponsible drunkenness
f) Homophobicness
g) Emotionless (Idiots.)

#92 - Law of Hero Identification - All heroes are introduced by way of appearance while someone talking about their (in)famous-ness, or by way of a voice-over of them introducing themselves.

#93 - Law of Anime Events - Much like wrestling, anything and everything can happen.

perfection

"there is no such thing as perfection. this world itself is imperfect. that's what makes it so beautiful."

perfection is a myth..life is not perfect..love is not perfect..even fiction is not perfect..there are no books, no movies, no serials n yes no anime either, which show a perfect life..even a fairytale always starts with something missing..if everything and everyone was always happy, right from the beginning, there would be no story..imagine how exciting a movie would be if the hero and heroine meet, fall in love, get married, have kids, grow old and eventually die..totally normal..leading perfect - boring - lives..if nothing happens to them - no parental opposition, no test of true love and such crap, if one of the kids doesn't grow up to be a murderer and the other a policeman - it isn't really a movie is it??..every work of "fiction" shows how every ordinary person has something extraordinary happen to them..how the person has to go thru all sorts of trials..it just wouldn't be interesting without it..perfect people leading perfect lives are boring..however cliched it may sound, but life exists because there are imperfections..

we crave perfection how we crave paradise..even when we are sure that such a place exists only in our dreams..forever we chase this elusive ever-changing notion of perfection..as kids, we think becoming an adult would be "perfect"..as grown-ups, that "perfect job" or that "perfect guy/girl" would be our goal..becoming filthy rich, earning more than what we can spend, buying perfectly useless things just because we can..that becomes our ideal..but as times change, our desires change and perfection is not as we had imagined it to be..even though the public would envy rich businessmen or movie stars, they themselves would be heard cribbing about their lives..happiness, it seems, is not attached too much to perfection..coz we can be pretty much happy without having to be perfect..though maybe to be truly happy is perfection in itself (hmm..interesting idea, that..)..if so, then perfection has actually been achieved by almost everyone at some point or the other..it is the matter of retaining it that's the problem it seems..coz even though i can very truthfully say that after every demented session with my friends..every time im in the middle of an amazing book, movie or anime..every time m feeling all lazy and well-fed..every sunday i wake up at some ungodly hour of morning and realise that i can sleep on till the afternoon..every time i strike an amazing bargain at some roadside stall..every time i've conned joshiji outta a few bucks!! (hehe)..and sooo sooo many other times..i have been sooo happy i could float up into the air in a huuuge mass of fluff..lol..but i still wouldn't call my life "perfect"..satisfactory certainly..very much so..probably couldn't ask for much more..but perfect??..naaaah..if i could remain as lazy as i am and still top the batch and get an amazing job without any effort at all..or better still, just win a big enough lottery and be set up for life..or best of all, have yamapi fall for me and go live in my beloved japan..now that would be "perfect"!!..but till then, i'd just be leading a "satisfied" life rather than a "perfect" one..but this imperfect life of mine - with all its moments of sadness, loneliness, pain - probably makes me treasure the times of happiness more; and that, i am happy to say, is what makes it so much more "perfect"..

woah..i can be deep n philo too when i get into one of my weird moods..lol..n yeah m pretty much into one of my "moods" now..n lately i've rediscovered my "random spurts of poetic outbursts" side..hehe..n unlike the last few times, this time round i've actually written a few lines down, crappy as they are..if (n that's a huuuuge "if") i actually manage to make any sense outta them n finish them sometime in the near future, guess i'd put up a few here..again, stress on the big big biiiigg "if"..

well me outta here for now..
sheeya!!

ps: it was apparantly forecasted that jodhpur temperature would drop to a record low of 0 degrees tonight!!..don't quite see that happening..it's cold yeah but not that freezing..tho yeah i did almost get frostbite while taking a bath this evening..*brrrr*..inside the room tho, its positively toasty..hehe..

emo angsting at its zenith??

"feel like burying myself inside the pile of blankets..feel like locking the door and throwing the key away..feel like drowning myself in something..anything..just to be able to not think about..anything..just not have to think..period..my normal routine of numbing myself by watching movies..immersing my consciousness into reading or listening to music..till i am actually physically too exhausted to think straight..then dropping into bed..to go back to watching some dream or the other..and again to wake up to the same routine..repeated again..and again..and yet again..a monotonity that is as boring as it is comforting..a series of meaningless events just to pass the time..that's what my life has been reduced to..my room that has become almost a coccoon..my sanctuary..it's as if one world ends outside the door..and another begins on the opposite side..my world..where everything is "peachy"..always..it's like a broken record that is stuck at the same note..and short of pulling the plug on the machine i can't stop the noise..point is..where's the switch??"

emptiness..

it didn’t matter any more..now that he was gone..now that she had finally accomplished the one thing that she had set out to do..obliterated her one hindrance..the world was hers now..finally!!..so why did it seem so empty all of a sudden??..like by extinguishing that one life, the light of her own had somehow been extinguished..it didn’t make any sense..why??..why??..why??

she wanted to cry out in frustration..or just..cry??..no that was absurd..she..did..not..cry..never!!..ever..for anything..she just didn’t feel that much..did she??..then why does it hurt now??..she had heard of “heartache” before..and dismissed it as one of the many things she would never feel..could never feel..because of him..he was the one who was responsible for making her the unfeeling frigid monster she had become in the first place..after she had vowed her revenge against him for all that he had done to her..and finally gone through with it..after all those years..he was exactly where he should be..so why wasn’t she rejoicing right now??..why did it feel like her heart (did she even possess one??) was being ripped to pieces..

in her zeal to mete out judgement to her _____..what was he to her again??..enemy??..prey??.......childhood “idol” and first love??..the one person she thought would never do something like “that”..but all that had changed..the day he left..leaving her..betraying her..killing her..shattering all her naïve dreams..breaking all the bonds that had held him back he said??..n blind in her hero-worship of him, she had even agreed to go with him..just to be together..haha..what a fool she had been..not knowing who this person truly was even after spending almost all her life for him..

she had come a long way from back then..she had changed herself..because naïve fools like her didn’t survive in this world..the world he was the king of..n now she could claim it as hers..the hand that he had extended to her when they had met again after the years had changed her so much that he didn’t even recognize her for who he had once discarded so callously..to rule with him..to be her queen..by his side..she had taken that hand..and broken it..tortured it..and taken immense pleasure in doing so..the sadist that she was..and now that it was finally over..her reason for living evaporated..

she felt..alone..for the very first time..truly alone..for even through those times of pain and hardship, the one thing that had kept her going was the thought of defeating him..finally..at his own game..the desire to see his face contort in pain – and remembrance – was what had barely held her together when she almost fell apart from the sheer helplessness of it all..it’s said that the view from the top of the world might be breathtaking..but it was also terribly lonely..and the one person she had deemed capable of standing next to her – she had killed with her own hands..watched as the life slowly ebbed out of him..second after excruciating second..as the light left his eyes..as that still handsome face settled into a deathly calm..as the look of betrayal gave way to that of eternal sleep..

she walked through the empty house..out into the garden..their garden..past the flowers they had both planted..together..a lifetime ago..past that tree where they had passed many a lazy wintery afternoon..past that little bench which was exactly at the right place to look out over the valley..their valley..she looked at it all..seeing yet unseeing..it was like every tree, every flower, every blade of grass, every bit of everything..reeked of him..reminded her of him..of what was..a lifetime ago..

who was she??..all those months..that fake laugh..was more real than her real laugh..that mask she had worn for his sake..was what she had gradually become..that fantasy she had lived the past months..had become her reality..the unthinkable had happened..with the loss of her innocence, she had also lost any affection she had ever felt for the man who had compelled her into such a situation..but the monster that she had had to become..had fallen for the monster that he had always been..that innocent feeling she that nurtured for him when she was still a child had given way to something else..something deadly..

emptiness..that’s what she felt now..like she was hollow..and his voice was echoing inside..he hadn’t even known why she did what she did..he had died without knowing who she was and why she was wringing his life away from him..just like she had never understood the motives behind his actions that day either..his vague excuse of having to do “something” had never satisfied her..and she had thrown the same words back at him at his deathbed..just so he’d know how it felt..to be thrown away without understanding why..

and somehow..it was all meaningless..true she had all she wanted..but she could never tell anyone that..she could never scream out to the world how happy she was now that she had accomplished her one true goal..the only one who could ever understand how she felt now..was gone..everything had gone according to plan..but maybe it was a mistake to plan only till so far..she had truly never thought of how life would be after he was gone..in her desire to quench her thirst with his blood, she had never planned what to do when she felt thirsty again..her whole life had somehow been always dictated by his actions and she despised herself – and him – for it..which is why she had broken free..but even now when she had torn him like a thorn from a rose, she left like this rose would wilt without it??..why??..truth be told, maybe she had become a monster for him..maybe that was what she had always wanted..maybe she had always been trying to fulfil those childish dreams..her fairytale…..

but how does one get a “happily ever after” once the princess has killed prince charming??

just..don't ask..i should stay away from angsty fanfics n dumb mbs..till i get sane again..
ciao.. :)

~ Dream Scape ~

Mita koto no nai kusa no umi ga
Gin-iro ni yurete zawameite
Yume to utsutsu no sakaime atari no keshiki

Kimi ni deau tame?
Soretomo mada minai dareka no hitomi no tame
Kaze wo wakete yuku
Dream scape...

Mou sugu naru yo ne, mezamashi no oto
Demo sono saki mo mada yume ka mo shirenai ne
Daiji na mono wa doko ni ita tte amari kawaranai yo ne

Mezametemo mada koko ni iyou to omou yo
Sore ga yuuki to iu mono ka to mo omou yo

Sittin' in the silence... Everlasting night breeze
(I believe... I deceive... I relieve...)
Kurasugite mienai dake sa...
In my...

Nakitaku nakute houtte atta mune no sasakure ni
Imagoro oikakerarete iki mo tsukenakute
Shigamitsuite ita shinjitsu ga boroboro ni karete ochiru made

Ima chotto mienai dake sa...

Genjitsu datte yume datte
Kimi wo mayowaseru dake dakara sa

Sakamichi no ue no magarikado, ikutsu demo sono saki ni ikitai
Ongaku no naka ni shika nai fuukei no mukou e
Kurasugite mienai dake sa...

Yume no tsudzuki ni wa yume ga
Nanairo no meiro mitai ni
Onkai no nai kusabue ni uta wo mitsukeru tame ni
Hirosugite me ga kurandemo
Utaisugite nodo ga karetemo
Mita koto no nai kusa no umi wo
Tatoe kimi ga inaku nattemo

Kurasugite mienai dake sa...

~ Dream Scape ~ (translated)

A sea of grass I've never seen
Is swaying and rustling in the silver
This is the scenery at the border between dreams and waking reality

Is it in order to meet you?
Or is it for the eyes of someone I still haven't seen?
I'll go on, dividing the wind
Dream scape...

The alarm clock will ring soon, huh?
But what's beyond that might still be a dream, right?
No matter where you are, your precious things don't change, you know

Even if I wake up, I'm sure I'll still be right here
I think that might be what they call courage

Sittin' in the silence... Everlasting night breeze
(I believe... I deceive... I relieve...)
It's just that it's too dark to see...
In my...

The fragment of my heart that I flung away because I didn't want to cry
Is chasing after me now, until I can't even catch my breath
And the reality I clung to withers and falls, piece by piece

It's just that I can't quite see right now...

Whether it's a dream or reality
It will just confuse you

However many bends there are in the road at the top of the hill, I want to go beyond them
To the other side of the scenery that exists only in music
It's just that it's too dark to see...

There's another dream in the continuation of a dream,
Like a maze with seven colors
In order to find a song in a reed pipe that can't play scales,
Even if it's too vast and my eyes get dizzy,
Even if I sing too much and dry out my throat,
I'll take that sea of grass I've never seen and...
Even if you disappear...

It's just that it's too dark to see...
Dream scape...

well thats it for now..looking forward to an extended weekend now..lets see what all it holds..other than a jap marathon..hehe..

jaa..mata ne!!
