SDF Macross is what REALLY CHEAP anime looks like. Seriously, even by '82 standards. (Add a decent budget and you get Do You Remember Love?.)

Looks like most of that style is more just the personal style of Yoshiaki Kawajiri, mentor to REDLINE's director. There's plenty of variety in Madhouse's output even excluding their many manga adaptations — try the works of Mamoru Hosoda, Satoshi Kon, Mitsuo Iso (just one series directed so far, but it's a good one),…

That's Misato Katsuragi's line.

I think it has to have originally been released no earlier than the year before its American debut; that's why the Rebuild of Evangelion films haven't been eligible. Sadly, Redline came out in 2009.

"Their distinct style"? These people made Chi's Sweet Home and Chobits, don't forget that. They're a very big studio with lots of directors and styles, not Gainax or Shaft.

Outlaw Star was made by Sunrise, aka "the Gundam studio" (plus Cowboy Bebop, The Big O, Code Geass, Tiger & Bunny, Escaflowne, Mai-HiME, and quite a few more, but mostly Gundam).

By "why" are you talking cause or purpose?

The really funny thing about that incident? Despite the fact that Porygon has been banned from ever appearing in the anime again, along with its evolutions Porygon2 and Porygon-Z (plus the episode itself is banned, even in epilepsy-safe edited form), it wasn't even Porygon that caused the flashes. It was Pikachu.

As Gunbuster was written before it was confirmed that the Milky Way had a black hole at its center, the final battle took place in a Milky Way core that was mainly just really, really bright, with so many stars that there was more light than dark. The Black Hole Bomb pretty much blew up the whole thing — I don't know…

You do remember correctly. If I remember correctly, it destroyed the majority of the galaxy. (I presume you remember the final scene?)

Nobody ever said that. The relevant claim was that the Democrats were far more willing to compromise than the Republicans.

A contact lens is technology.

Oh, yes. VERY MUCH been there. Keeping up a decent signal-to-noise ratio can be hard.

Not if you're wondering why only one side had guns, germs, and steel, which is the real issue the book focuses on. Short version, for those who haven't found time to read it: Environment is really, really important. Especially for development of food production, which puts you on the path to greater population…

From a glossary appended to a fan fiction:

I imagine a lot can be handwaved by saying "It's really less like arithmetic and more like turbulent motion of fluids."

"Innocent and heartless," in the words of J. M. Barrie.

Let me clarify. (For a given value of "clarify." :P)

I think we need to separate the concept of an "option" from that of an "answer." In this case, there are four options and three answers, and the reader is given the scenario of selecting an option randomly and being asked what the probability of selecting an option containing the correct answer is. It's an ambiguity…

There is an unstated assumption that the correct answer is among the given answers (because it almost always is with multiple choice questions). Rewording the question to make that explicit would help.
