Q:” is rental magica boring?” A: Yes, insipidly so although it does have its moments and if battle scenes that involve a wuss shouting out coordinates for his comrades to attack with their magic that there’s no way a person would be able to get right is your thing then it could be the series for you. Grab those protractors kids!
Q:”why is the rental magica anime out of chronological order?” A: Because they wanted to start on a higher note and get different exposition for the characters for the sake of scheduling tie-ins. I just totally made that up but at least one of those three was probably a factor.
Q:”Is the animation in the bleach tv series lousy?” A: Again insipidly so, avoid at all costs, the art in the manga is pretty fair and the weaknesses of the series are less exposed. I understand that the movie(s?) have fairer animation but they’re also totally pointless and likely non-canon so who cares? animation fans? bleach otaku?
Q: “How many shakugan no shana movies are there?” A: one presently out and one in production the last I heard. There is also parody special which if I recall was on the dvd version of the movie called “shakugan no shana-tan the movie” this is not a movie and I don’t even recall it being longer than the typical shakugan no shana-tan segments from the original tv series.
Q:”how many volumes of Busou Renkin are there?” A: 10.
Q:”can anal stimulation bring a person to orgasm?” A: Yes, orgasms are psychological to a large extent so if anything brings you enough pleasure regardless of what it is and there’s a certain amount of physical stimulation then orgasm is possible. It is a lot more common for men to orgasm from rectal stimulation, particularly penetration, because of pressure to the prostate gland. Very likely though if you are not a masochist and anal stimulation is not a pleasurable sensation for you, such as anal sex being very painful for you with the pain never getting better after repeated sessions, then you are not likely to orgasm that way. Pleasure can be a very individual thing, some men and women can only orgasm with the aid of anal stimulation which I suppose would officially be an anal fetish but might actually be physical. I don’t think there’s been a vast amount of research in this area and frankly that’s understandable.
Q:”why should you bleach your asshole?” A: you shouldn’t, you really shouldn’t. You shouldn’t douche either but people are ready to apply aesthetics to areas that they can’t be applied readily too. If you want to know how to bleach your asshole then also take my advice and just don’t do it. I’m pretty sure that it doesn’t actually whiten the area appreciably, which is naturally very dark looking compared to surrounding skin because the tissue is slightly different, there’s more of it and it’s more elastic so it can expand and contract to accommodate bowel movements of various sizes and is not related to discoloration by feces (probably). Bleach, or chlorine basically, really isn’t a substance that you should ingest in any way since it is poisonous to most life forms (which is why it’s used, by people like me, to kill stubborn mold).
Q:”Do credit card companies really hold payments?” A: Yes, although to be fair this is not always done maliciously and intentionally though it’s usually closer to the latter than should be legal. Anyway as a matter of fact the majority of financial transactions are held for some certain amount of time for varying reasons, most part of due process like a business only depositing on tuesdays or something like that. The most commonly held payments are of course cheques, this is the reason why they haven’t been eliminated even though the majority of people with an income are given “cheque cards”. You don’t have to think much about this one to realize that something is going on, all the major banks issue cards and are the money behind the card companies, but most card companies won’t accept payment by card regardless of its holder, type, or issuer (I think the issuer might actually be referred to as the guarantor for the “actual money”). I actually thought that by this time we’d all have “money cards” and that both paper money and personal cheques would be obsoleted but that’s another story.
Q: “how do you pronounce mushi?” A: Mushi is the pronunciation for notably the generic japanese word for insect but is possibly best known outside of japan because of the manga and anime series “Mushishi” which is a different type of mushi. Anyway in english it would be like the “mo” in “move” (or “moo” like the sound cows are said to make by english people who have never actually heard a real cow in their life) and “she”. Mushi is two syllables in case you can’t tell, actually all japanese words and written chraracters, and I assume korean and chinese as well, can be broken up into sets of syllables, that’s actually all that katakana and hiragana are。 虫 (mushi) むし (mushi) see?
Q:”Is the soldier unit better than the archer unit in Dragonforce?” A: officially yes. Unofficially the archer is the worst unit in the game. However because their attacks are ranged an appreciable amount of archers commanded by a general with a high enough command (CMD?) stat will still be able to beat a small enough amount of enemy soldiers. If I remember correctly if the two basic square formations go against each other and the archers are held instead of advanced (stationary units attack faster than moving units, I think this is a flaw in the game personally but it’s the way it works) something like 10-30 (22 is a number that sticks in my mind) soldiers will be defeated by the time they reach the archer formation (unless it’s like 100 archers against 100 soldiers in which case there’s less distance to cover). Because archers and mages continue to attack during a general’s spells/attacks this number will tend to be even greater since usually you want to cast a spell as fast as possible. Broadly speaking it’s only really shitty generals that have archers and you also are only likely to have nothing better to field than a small quantity of soldiers which can be mowed down by archers. Of note is that you actually aren’t necessarilly much better off to have a number of archers or mages greater than 30 since it’s only the front line that attacks the enemy and once the enemy gets close in only harpies will be defeated in great enough numbers by archers (mages who also fire faster will also defeat zombies) to be noteworthy. The problem with units that have archers is that they typically have troop annihilating spells (all priests (who have mages anyway) have the devastating holy shield) which will take out your troops even if you try to get fancy with formations and commands. But even if they have holy shield it is still worth it to use the “special” (the english name, it’s the first one anyway) formation and then disperse your troops and before advancing them ( they tend to try and head back towards the middle as they advance so you might want to disperse again) to minimize the units defeated. Of course this opens your general to attack so it’s a bit of a gambit but dispersed troops are typically also out of the range of anti-troop spells (lighting fall, holy blast, and the earthquake move being the exception, I think they’re even out of the range of the brunt of cyclone type spells although usually a few troops will advance into range during the course of the spell) and once you converge them back on the enemy they will reap them. If you “cover” your troops advance with a spell then while it’s being used your general is invincible anyway. Other than dispersing you can concentrate your troops in the middle or use the “breach” formation and then use a spell that rakes through the enemy formation in that area, this is a bit safer for your general but most all type (troop and general) attacks go through at least part of the middle of the field, some like cross rush and sonic boom only go through that area in a straight line from general to general. Use whatever strategy is suitable. If you’re the unit with archers going against soldiers then try to buy yourself time with as many spells as possible, and choose a broad initial formation and then have your troops advance or fall back to cover the margins of the field and block the enemy from your general and attack more of them at once. This is also a good strategy for the holy bomb attack that doesn’t attack all (yours and the enemy’s) troops (maybe only Goldark has that one) since if all the enemy troops advance it will wipe them all out at once. You have to advance a bit for that one, although if you hold or retreat a bit then when the enemy enters the holy bomb range your troops will not be in it even though you won’t be able to get them all (better to only get 2/3 of the enemy than half of yours and theirs).
And there we have the most questions answered at once by me I think. It’s extremely unlikely that this “feature” of mine does anybody any good but I keep plugging away anyway.
