SECONDED.

(A) GODDAMNIT.

I wanted the HELL out of that when I was reading Starlog.

Sadly, the Kindle version of this wipes out the awesome formatting of the last chunk.

I was hoping SOMEONE would mention this on an SF site...

Plus, people need to be reminded every once in a while how awesome Real Genius is.

Okay, that was awesome.

As always, Unca Cecil is here to illuminate :

Everything else aside : STOP YOUR GODDAMN ANIMATION CYCLES EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. The bit after the fight when she's undulating like a goddamn wave pool was amazingly irritating, and likewise in the intro animation when the tentacles are swinging her in a figure 8 WITHOUT EVER PAUSING.

Like I said in another comment, "phallic" and "phallus" are different things when you're arguing in front of the censor board.

Well, it was a handy way of showing hot'n'nasty action without actual sex. That is, "this isn't sex - you can tell because that's not a penis entering her! It's a tentacle, which, again, is not a penis!"

Nah, he's alright - ain't no need to worry about him.

That was exactly my thought. Him? He looks awesome. The rest? Post-food.

When I saw him, I cried a little tear - "No, Richard, don't be in crap! Please!"

I... THE HELL WAS THAT?

I've heard worse. It's not like she did the coda or anything.

FWIW, the Polyphonic Spree have been doing a Tommy medley in their current tour. It's quite awesome, but the guitarist doesn't do the Townsend windmill.

I like the Mirren idea, but I have to admit that I'd save that for a remake of the Cushing films.

Okay, first off I have to get this out of the way :

I think so (NB : haven't finished Lagann yet, but I expect I'll enjoy it - I am exceedingly tolerant of Gainax endings), but this isn't especially nutty - it's funny as hell, but for a giant robot anime, it's pretty mundane. Which is cool.
