    this is the best i can do to stump you, infy. these go from hard to bullsh*t, so be warned - most of these you can only know if you've not just <i>seen</i> the respective animes, but examined with fanatical scrutiny the design and intent of the artists behind the weapons, as i have!!!

    2 - ARMITAGE III OVA/Dual Matrix: what is the style of ross' weapon of choice? you can be broad here. i don't know the specific maker, myself. <b>super bonus hint</b>: a masamune shirow character likes the same kinda pistol best? >D

    3 - TRIGUN: what bullet is vash's revolver chambered for? (i'm talking about the CONVENTIONAL feature that fires phsyical bullets, not super alien atomizers.)

    4 - EVANGELION: the EVAs predominantly use one battle (assault-class) rifle throughout the OVA. which real-life rifle is it copied from, and what are the cosmetic differences between the eva version and the real-life version? (if you know the technical answer to the subquestion, i salute you.)

    The main character's doll in Angelic Layer was named Hikaru

    Ignoring the breath of fire 4 question, as it is not anime...

    2.) It's in the 80-90% range

    4.) Only seen the first 3 eps of Inu Yasha, can't answer the question. If it's that pearl thing, it was hidden in the girl's body...
    5.) I <i>believe</i> it's Jinto... or something... Haven't watched Banner of the Stars in years...
    6.) nfi what your talking about. But I believe your talking about Hunter X Hunter
    7.) Too many anime character's named Hikaru for me to answer this question...
    8.) Priss's boyfriend was murdered and it was covered up by the police.

    hmm well he answered like 5% of them heh. Oh well half of the questions are impossible anyway.


    Here's one you can answer while you're still around, did the makers of Outlaw Star make any other animes?

    cause I actually would want to watch them.
  • InfinitumInfinitum Anime Encyclopedia Join Date: 2002-08-08 Member: 1111Members, Constellation
    Studio Sunrise created Outlaw Star.

    <a href='http://animenfo.com/animestudio,11,yjqotg,sunrise.html' target='_blank'>List of all their works to date</a>

    If you want one in the same universe as Outlaw Star. Watch Angel Links, though I am told it isn't as interesting as Outlaw Star.

    I have developed a sudden interest in watching one of their other works, Infinite Ryvius, based on a trailer I saw on a sample DVD.

    Looks quite promising.

    <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->How many tentacles does it take for depravity? <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    For depravity I would say 3+ (one for each major orifice doesn't really count as depravity) and at one of the major orifices must have at least 2 tentacles inserted (preferably 3). Entry into the nostril or ear canal generally would be considered depraved, but again you'd require tentacles elsewhere to complete the requirements. One up each nostril and one in the anus would probably be the only way to meet depravity standards by staying below 4 tenacles.

    Now for a question for Inf:

    Recite the spell "Giga Slave" from Slayers

    uh... you'd better state which version ryo, the OVAs and Series both have different translations, neither of which actually match the original chant from the novels =P

    <b>oops edit:</b> giga slave not dragu/dragon... whoops!

    Time to mark it <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->. Well, my ones anyway.

    1: Atsushi tells Shuji that he's going to join the army to protect Akemi. He says that he's prepared to die for her. Shuji gets angry, and tells him that there's something else Atsushi has to do for her, instead. What is that thing?
    <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Can't tell you because I haven't seen all of She, The Ultimate Weapon.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    Got the series. He tells him that he doesn't have to die for Akemi, he has to <i>kill</i> for her. It's a really beautiful quote, and I wish I could remember it exactly :/.

    2: How much of the Major's body is still human?
    <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->2.) It's in the 80-90% range<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    Pretty much. I was referring to the Major from Ghost in the Shell. Only her brain and spinal cord are still human, the rest is artificial.

    3: The perverted old vice-principal drives a certain type of car, which almost routinely ends up totalled; often at the hands of a certain young teacher at his school. What kind of car?
    <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->3.) Toyota Cresta. GTO = win<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    Yar! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    4: Where was Tetsusaiga hidden?
    <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->4.)

    Right series, wrong artefact. Tetsusaiga is Inu-Yasha's sword, <span style='color:red'><spoiler></span> and was hidden in his eye.<span style='color:red'></spoiler></span>

    5: What is the full name of the Supply Officer on the Basroil?
    <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->5.) I <i>believe</i> it's Jinto... or something... Haven't watched Banner of the Stars in years...<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    Yar. Right series, right given name. Full name is Jinto Lin Syune Locke Hyde. Yes, I couldn't remember it exactly myself and had to look it up.

    6: Kaykyaku are tolerated in En, and can register for certain benefits. How do they tell whether an applicant is a real Kaykyaku or not?
    <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->6.) nfi what your talking about. But I believe your talking about Hunter X Hunter<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    Nope, sorry. It's from Twelve Kingdoms (En is one of the kingdoms). A kaykyaku is someone from Japan who's ended up one way or another in the world of the Twelve Kingdoms. They verify this fact by asking for a telephone number - there are no telephones in the Twelve Kingdoms, so only a kKaykyaku would know what one is, or be able to give the right number of digits.

    <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->7.) Too many anime character's named Hikaru for me to answer this question...<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    Sorry about that. Hikaru no Go. Answer was "Meijin".

    8: Why does Priss hate the AD police so much? (In the second alternate-storyline series. Well, counting the first series, it's the first "alternate" storyline.)
    <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->8.) Priss's boyfriend was murdered and it was covered up by the police.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    I think this was my fault for not describing the series right <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->. From memory, in Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040, in one of the later episodes, when pressed about this Priss explains something to the effect of her living in an abandoned warehouse as a kid, with only her favourite song on a tape recorder for comfort. The AD police ended up causing the building to get burned down (I think they were chasing a Boomer), including the tape recorder. Yes, it's petty.

    9: "Kono sora wo daite kagayaku...", what's the next line? This is an easy one, don't look it up.
    <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->9.) I can't quote the romanji, nor quote the second line, but that's the opening song to RahXephon.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    Sorry, nope. Same genre, wrong series.

    "Zankoku na tenshi no teze
    "Madobe kara yagete tobitatsu
    "Hotobashiru atsui patosu de
    "Omoide wo uragiru nara
    "Kono sora wo daite kagayaku
    "Shounen yo shinwa ni nare"

    Cruel Angel's Thesis from Neon Genesis Evangelion.

    10: After Henrietta has opened fire, who is it that kills the last two terrorists?
    <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->10.) The blond haired one with the sniper rifle.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    Yup. Her name is Rico.

    11: The Battousai now uses a reverse-bladed sword, and which style of swordfighting?
    <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->11.) Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    Yup.

    12: Why does Rally Vincent have difficulty getting to sleep when she's in the hospital? (In particular, this was from a manga. Might be in the anime as well, I don't know.)
    <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->12.) Wasn't covered in the anime and I've only read the first volume of the manga thus far.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    She sleeps with a small pistol under her pillow, and can't get to sleep without the feel of it and the familiar smell.

    13: "Even if we slip on banana peels, it is all for his sake". Who's sake?
    <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->13.) Excel's boss... whatever his name is.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    No researching online! Some random crap off the top of my head.

    What is the name of the school in Bakuen Campus Guardress?

    The actual name of the Vampire species in Blood the Last Vampire?

    What blooper is there in the scene in End of Evangelion, where the soldiers are about to execute Shinji?

    In the Samurai Spirits II OVA, what is the name of Shiki's tattoo?



    And if you're taking questions from manga, what is the type of pistol Deunan takes from Kitamura's apartment?

    The Cause of Second Impact(Note: HUGE SPOILER COUNT IN THIS):

    The cause of second impact was 2 things: The access of Adam's embryo, that had been encased in Ice for thousands of years due to the ice age. Adam, sensing the oxygen, took this time to go back to his regular state(Note: Notice when your cold, you curl up into a ball? Thats why adam went into embryonic state: easier to stay warm, and thus, alive. Just because he is one of the angels sent by both God and man doesn't mean he can't die), and did his first fusion: With a human being. And thus, he gained "Angelic" status, explained by why he was glowing white in EoE. At this point, he just went by instincts trying to live, nothing more, but being us as humans, we tried to return him to embryo and take him for our own. In a desperate move to live, he un-fused with the human(and thus absorbed TONS of LCL, which was what he was made of while fused), causing a huge explosion, that VERY slowly grew large enough to engulf all of Antartica. Being it was a rather slow moving explosion(being it was more of a shockwave than a explosion, being it takes a HUGE rip in space[not time] to fuse anything, and un-fusing causes much more- thus why they can't synthisize anything), it gave Mr. Katsuragi enough time to protect his only Child Misato. Too bad for her she was ever found- her life'd been much easier if he didn't defend her(and if anyone noticed the design- there is a SLIGHT proof of a early plug unit. What Misato was encased in. It was full of LCL, and was probably a early version of the plugs they used later).

    And if anyone wants to debate this, feel free to. I've got every answer out there to Eva. While small stupid things I have trouble remembering, most I can remember quite easily(like the things people call plot holes, when really there weren't, just many people didn't read the accompanying books, and haven't read the interviews and recent mangas).
