Here follows a serries of comments made with regards to Cyborg 009. I take no responsability for my own comments, nor the comments of others. If you like it, laugh... if you don't... sod off, I'm buisy.
[01:11] quaidis: many people see like.. 5 minutes of the first ep and hate it for no reason other than the dated animation
[01:11] squic the dragon: ... it was pretty good... though I'd be happier if the serries went with a different artist
[01:12] quaidis: well, they have huge reasons behind the art
[01:12] squic the dragon: ... now... if they had the plot and such from 009, with the animaters from GITS...
[01:12] quaidis: heh
[01:12] squic the dragon: ... 'cause... I mean... nobody NEEDS a nose that's half again as long as the rest of there body
[01:12] squic the dragon: and many of the values given to them seemed arbitrary
[01:12] squic the dragon: ... three thosand degrees?
[01:13] squic the dragon: why not make it thirty two hundered?
[01:13] quaidis: see, the manga was made in the 70's... then they did an animated cartoon of it around the 70's/early 80's.. just in the last few years did they remake the anime
[01:13] squic the dragon: or research the melting point of tungston?
[01:13] quaidis: and the guy who did the manga sorta dictated hte art
[01:13] squic the dragon: ah
[01:13] squic the dragon: ... why would you have missiles in your kneecaps?
[01:13] squic the dragon: and how do you reload?
[01:13] quaidis: lol
[01:13] squic the dragon: the only method I can think of is a bit graphic, and by no means do I want to see a cyborg in an ammodump shoving a missile up his ass
[01:13] squic the dragon: EVER
[01:14] quaidis: you do know that they explain some of this in future eps.. long in the future eps.. that I haven't seen
[01:14] squic the dragon: heh
[01:14] squic the dragon: but why mach five?
[01:14] quaidis: though I can't explain Jet's nose
[01:14] quaidis: it's just big
[01:14] squic the dragon: ... yah
[01:14] quaidis: I honestly think they did that to make everyone different.. so everyone's not beautiful and streamline hansom
[01:15] squic the dragon: ... HUGE F*CKING NOSE!!
[01:15] quaidis: they also did it to way over exaggerate their nationalities
[01:15] squic the dragon: heh
[01:15] quaidis: I think the nose helps him fly
[01:15] squic the dragon: and they all had sort of a protoman thing going on with the scarf...
[01:15] quaidis: man do I love those scarves
[01:15] squic the dragon: ... yah
[01:15] quaidis: protoman is younger than Cyborg009
[01:15] squic the dragon: *shrug*
[01:16] quaidis: for some reason, in the first cartoon, the main charrie had blong hair
[01:16] quaidis: blond
[01:16] quaidis: and the bald guy who can change into anything was a kid in the first cartoon as well
[01:16] quaidis: he grew up in the last 30 years
[01:16] squic the dragon: ... that guy just creeped me the hell out
[01:16] squic the dragon: ... though not as much as 001
[01:17] squic the dragon: I mean, what possible use would you have for a cyborg baby?
[01:17] quaidis: the baby?
[01:17] quaidis: wait...
[01:17] quaidis: heh
[01:17] squic the dragon: ... I mean.... you could throw it at someone I suppose...
[01:17] quaidis: the baby was a test subject
[01:17] squic the dragon: ... there are far better test subject avalable
[01:17] quaidis: 001-3 or so were taken as test subjects and basically the first ones made
[01:18] quaidis: then the scientists dude built on how to make the future cyborgs stronger one by one
[01:18] quaidis: it's funky
[01:18] quaidis: you're putting way too much thought into a kid anime and it's hilarious
[01:18] squic the dragon: ... it's not my fault they left logical inconsistancies in place...
[01:18] quaidis: man do I love hte plot.. I also love the music for some reason
[01:19] quaidis: you know the guy with the gun hand? grey hair, weird eyes
[01:19] quaidis: they never explain his eye thing
[01:19] squic the dragon: I mean, they've got how many BILLIONS of dollers invested in the hardware...?
[01:19] squic the dragon: you're telling me they couldent spend a couple grand and hire a plastic surgeon?
[01:19] squic the dragon: or, perhaps, a hairstylist?
[01:19] quaidis: he had the weird eyes before he became a cyborg
[01:19] quaidis: lol
[01:19] squic the dragon: they nailed the wardrobe, granted...
[01:19] quaidis: you don't like that nose, do you
[01:19] squic the dragon: but I mean really...
[01:19] squic the dragon: it's not a nose
[01:20] squic the dragon: it's an aircraft carrior mounted on his FACE
[01:20] quaidis: you're funny
[01:20] quaidis: go make a thread about this in AR
[01:20] quaidis: cause you're way too funny
[01:20] squic the dragon: post this conversation to AR
[01:20] squic the dragon: I just can't get the same feelign out in the forums
[01:20] quaidis: nah.. I don't want my parts in it
[01:20] squic the dragon: ... and what's up with the jet boots?
[01:21] squic the dragon: are they fireproof? Or just poorly made...
[01:21] squic the dragon: so that, as soon as fire hits them, BAM... the sole of the boot gives in
[01:21] squic the dragon: ... and if the one dude's fire is "hot enough to melt anything known to man", why is it that it didn't even get the door glowing red?
[01:21] squic the dragon: WHY!?
[01:21] squic the dragon: tell me!
[01:22] quaidis: I'm surprised you're only bugged about Jet... I thought you'd be more bugged about the object changing bald dude
[01:22] squic the dragon: ... he just creeped me the hell out...
[01:22] quaidis: I'm so tempted to give you future eps now
[01:22] squic the dragon: and that's not a legetimate cybernettic aproach... more like freak genetic engenearing...
[01:22] squic the dragon: 'cept moreso
[01:22] squic the dragon: ... and why did they even bother worrying about the alarm?
[01:23] squic the dragon: it's a bloody door
[01:23] squic the dragon: A DOOR
[01:23] squic the dragon: they've taken on tanks
[01:23] squic the dragon: more tanks
[01:23] squic the dragon: other tanks in interesting shapes
[01:23] quaidis: it was a special door
[01:23] squic the dragon: tanks that explode
[01:23] squic the dragon: tanks that explode OTHER TANKS
[01:23] quaidis: ya know.. so if the cyborgs destroy the entire lab.. that door will still be stnading
[01:23] squic the dragon: and they worry about some random ass guard with a machine gun
[01:23] squic the dragon: ... I think I came across that door in fallout...
[01:23] squic the dragon: ... stuipid invincible door
[01:23] squic the dragon: no
[01:23] squic the dragon: wait
[01:23] squic the dragon: wasn't fallout
[01:23] quaidis: dude
[01:24] squic the dragon: it was red faction
[01:24] quaidis: you have to post this convo in a thread
[01:24] squic the dragon: with the geo-mod engine
[01:24] squic the dragon: where you could blow up walls
[01:24] squic the dragon: and stuff
[01:24] squic the dragon: but doors... doors you couldent do
[01:24] squic the dragon: so if you wanted through a locked door... you ignore the door
[01:24] quaidis: special doors
[01:24] squic the dragon: you aim for the wall next to it
[01:24] quaidis: did you see the nose on the scientist dude?
[01:24] quaidis: it looked so huge it was cancerous
[01:24] squic the dragon: ... that was kinda frightening...
[01:25] quaidis: but not as irkful to you as jet's nose?
[01:25] quaidis: I like how there's a black guy in the group
[01:26] squic the dragon: huge-ass 'strength of 1000 men' black guy with all the facial expression of a crushed brick? Or tiny springy 'combat specialist' black guy who looks like the dude from 'revenge of the nerds'?
[01:26] quaidis: he was in the original manga.. which is surprising because the japanese many many years ago really don't like african americans. I mean. Racist don't like. there are still some people like that in japan.. but it's not a fad anymore
[01:26] quaidis: the little combat swimming black guy
[01:27] squic the dragon: ah
[01:27] quaidis: the big strong dude was more.... south american guy than anything.. I t hink
[01:27] squic the dragon: his face frightens small children
[01:27] quaidis: somewhere in the credits or opening they show him with this leopard dog thing
[01:27] quaidis: didn't frighten 001
[01:28] squic the dragon: 001 was designed as a low-cost throwing weapon
[01:28] quaidis: I can see Jet using jell on his hair.. going into mach somethingth speed, then stopping to find his hair all straight back
[01:28] squic the dragon: but doing that would leave it in an egg-shape
[01:29] squic the dragon: not an "OHMYGODDEATHSPIKES" shape
[01:29] quaidis: bah
[01:29] quaidis: I don't see egg shape
[01:29] squic the dragon: I mean, he looks like he's got an oversized hedgehog latched onto the back of his head
[01:29] squic the dragon: painted orange
[01:29] quaidis: we haven't picked on 003 yet
[01:29] squic the dragon: and dipped in rogane
[01:29] squic the dragon: ... which one was he?
[01:29] quaidis: she
[01:29] squic the dragon: ah
[01:29] squic the dragon: eyes
[01:29] squic the dragon: ... that would be kind of a sucky power, all things consittered
[01:30] squic the dragon: ... unless you were going to perv-out with it
[01:30] quaidis: I don't like how she's weak.. she's a frickin cyborg and all she can do is 'see things 100 miles away'
[01:30] squic the dragon: but they're all cyborgs
[01:30] squic the dragon: ... she'd make a hell of a sniper
[01:30] quaidis: she's like the lois lane of the cyborg world
[01:30] squic the dragon: ... give lois lane a sniper rifle, and you'd have a hell of a show
[01:30] quaidis: I think the scientist dudes came along and made her cyborg for the soul purpose of changing 001's daipers
[01:30] squic the dragon: ... heh
[01:31] squic the dragon: lazyass scientists
[01:31] quaidis: because jet wouldn't do it
[01:31] squic the dragon: ... i'm telling you, throwing weapon...
[01:31] quaidis: or he accidentally poked out 001's eye in the process with his freeping nose
[01:32] quaidis: I'm laughing too hard.. I gotta step away from the comp and calm down
[01:32] squic the dragon: ok
[01:32] quaidis: you're the first person to really talk about the anime with me
[01:32] squic the dragon: have fun with that
:ph43r: :ph43r:
Oooh... Does this mean I can look up your IM name?? And message you with random sentences that make no sense?
Ah, but of course... it's exchanges like that that keep me around. I'm always ready for an extra bit of randomness.
Quai says I should wait until tomorrow to randomly message you...
Tomarrow I'll be in class most of the day... as for right now, I've nearly finished the all consuming school project of EVIL!! (... stupid... nesting... tables...)
As such, it's nearly the perfect time.
Geez, I know exactly what you were going on about with that door. Living christ, they could dismember tanks. They could even jump with the power of a steroid-pushing slinky on acid. Why didn't they just screw the door and jump up through the glass ceiling to the scientists?
My gripe about that ep was the spikey disk things. The nose guy could have flown away from them, the strong guy could have ripped it off, the fire guy could have blown fire at it since it was trying to put a new hole in his face and all, the bald guy could have changed into something small or huge and gotten away. Did they? No. For some freaking reason they stood there and fought off sadistic flying dinner plates. How some the strong black guy could throw ten tons like it was nothing, but when it came to a whimpy evil disk in his face, he was no match!? And why didn't one of the disks go after TelepathToddler and brutally disfigure his good looks? Same with the woman. She stood there holding this helpless, babbling infant and for some reason the evil spikey saucers completely ignored them.
