Nevertheless, a lot of people wearing heavy armor do tend to get thrown into freezing seas.

I'm sure they had built-in Water Wings.

Also it isn't very heavy armor as you don't want to restrict the soldier's bending abilities.

They don't count as people if you can't see their faces ;]

Also believe it or not we are meant to assume that everyone survived.

It is one of the weirder aspects of the show.

Heck even the off screen death's official status on whether or not the death actually happened was "unclear".

[Techhead]

The main distinction I saw was that Aang was grappling with the the fact that he was specifically planning to kill Ozai. None of the battlefield deaths a premeditated; they may die as a result of your fight, but you were not planning on killing them specifically.
Confronting Ozai so that you could fight him and kill him would be murder, however justified.

Well I think I shall brave up to fight the next series of Prince of Tennis Filler...

And right when the series was getting good too... they were JUST starting to exit the "I wasn't trying" phase and get to the point where characters were just doing as hard as they could and battles were more about skills then these overwhelming gimics. Even my favorite tennis player had a awsome match and the most boring one didn't get one (yay!).

I don't know

Have any of you just watched a REALLY awsome section of an anime... then next episode you just went "ohh gawd... the filler!" (and this series has terrible filler.)?

My favorite filler episode of all time though was definately in Rozen Maiden. I never laughed harder watching an anime. Heck for some series the filler's issue is less that it is bad (Naruto's filler was pretty good) and more that there was WAAAAAY too much of it.

Edit addition: Lucky for me the filler wasn't as horrible as it usually is. Admittingly the bulk of the jokes were lost on me, mostly because I don't find male characters turned into female ones funny, but it worked.

Edit Addition addition: It is also interesting that I can actually pick out how well each team's female tennis teams did (they exist but other then mentioning it ONCE for all I know they could be better then the boys team or worse then dirt) simply by how much free time the female tennis players seem to have. It is nice to know the two main schools in the show have really terrible female teams.
-Though I wouldn't be surprised if it was just that Middleschool Female Tennis teams arn't considered important or populated enough to have more then a District tournament. I have seen schools around where I live with full teams but simply not enough players to have tournaments.

Well I finished Higanbana - The First Night.

Was it enjoyable?  Mostly.  Was it good?  Uuuh it made sense sometimes.

Sometimes

Spoiler: like, the entire game spoilers (click to show/hide)

I only played chapter 7 today, start to finish in one sitting.  It was...truly bizarre.  I mean, the writing was really really loose it didn't feel like Ryukishi even wrote it.

The Reiko-chan twist was amazing, but that's about it.

Marie gets defeated but just comes back.

The amount of times the word bully, bullying, or bullied was said must have hit half the word count, it was...corny?  I kept thinking everything was A BULLY CONSPIRACY

AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE WAS EXACTLY THAT

BULLIEEEESSSSSS

And worst of all...to solve this major conflict Yukari is suffering from...

Higanbana

kills

the entire

class

(including the teacher, 41 people in total)

HIGANBANA KILLS THE ENTIRE CLASS TO SOLVE YUKARI'S PROBLEM

WHAT THE HELL RYUKISHI

What were you thinking?!

And then it ends, with Yukari transferring into a new class and showing her resolve to STOP THE BULLY CONSPIRACY

The OP song is pretty awesome, in general the music was great.

暗き昏き闇は月を背に - from chapter 5, can't forget its single play...
宵の影踏み - played a lot, pretty awesome
棘 - played like once but I remember liking it
学校案内人 - this game's murder rave song basically, quite fun
フルキアシキ - my favorite, forever (one of the comments says Professor Layton which is EXACTLY IT)





I have to question how this school even has any students when they're all killed constantly.

Oh right, I should put the chapters in order from my most favorite to least favorite.

Chapter 5 - BEST chapter overall, depressing though
Chapter 3 - great ending twist, depressing though
Chapter 7 - still pretty good because I find the BULLY CONSPIRACY and Reiko-chan great, it was probably too long though honestly
Chapter 2 - the best happy ending chapter overall, Takeshiiii oh and cool ending twist stuff
Chapter 1 - still pretty good, I loved Kanamori's faces
Chapter 4 - a pretty pointless chapter, ending twist was okay
Chapter 6 - very unremorable, I thought we were going somewhere but it was just a break chapter

IT'S A CONSPIRACY

I definitely won't be missing out on The Second Night when Ronove finishes it, at least....

maybe

tick tick tick tick SMASH

EDIT:
Shit I'm listening to all the music now I'm so angry some of these only played once.

[...](Naruto's filler was pretty good)[...]

I'd have to disagree with you there, even though I actually like Naruto. I think Bleach handled filler much better, at least in terms of integration into the overall plot and keeping the transition from filler to non-filler well defined.

Same here, and for the same reasons.

Who is the villain that wishes to wipe out humanity in the latest episode of Nyarko-san: Another Crawling Chaos?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Why, the Moral Guardians of course!

I've been enjoying this series blasphemy against all things Lovecraft far too much. I think it's time to admit to myself that I like terrible humor.

[Flying Dice]

It isn't really terrible humor if it makes you laugh, neh? And Nyarko-san is one of the few things lately that has drawn honest laughter from me.

[penguinofhonor]

Rebuild time! This just seems like a shorter version of Eva so far, but I'm only five minutes in.

edit: So so far I've found about ten versions that don't work at all, and one version that stops at exactly 4:51 and will not load past that no matter what. This is not entertaining.

Ok it wasn't great filler but it wasn't horrible filler like other shows. The Naruto filler is one of the reasons the characters are much more developed in the anime then they are in the manga.

[penguinofhonor]

Okay, I think I've got a working one. It's interesting which scenes they removed. I'm wondering why some of them are gone.

Spoiler: for instance (click to show/hide)

They took out scene in the beginning where Unit 01 reaches up and shields Shinji from the falling debris. I liked that bit.

[Neonivek]

Ohh my nothing in anime makes me smile more then failed attempts at making an english speaking character (as in a native english speaker).
