Comment on Introducing Someone to Anime by Woosa

I have to agree about Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood being one of the best and Soul Eater as well. Pretty decent list you have here, dont listen to the criticism they wont understand how subjective each anime might be for someone. I for one hate Bleach but I can acknowledge that a lot of people enjoy it and thats ok too.

If someone loves great stories and character development that captivates along with humor and action, One Piece is the greatest story ever told:D imo

Fullmetal Alchemist anyone? Brotherhood in particular. Personally my favorite anime of all time. It has a pretty good balance of action with meaningful moments. Throw in the occasional jape and really I think it has the widest audience potential.

I will say that trying to start on Brotherhood can be a tad confusing because they do skip the character introductions in the first episode.

Comment on How to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse by Bryan

SURVING THE END OF THE WORLD

• Water ( 1 gal. For each person for each day)
• Food (stock up on non-perishable items that you eat regularly)
• Medications (this includes prescription and non-prescription meds)
• Tools and Supplies (utility knife, duct tape, battery powered radio, etc.)
• Sanitation and Hygiene (household bleach, soap, towels, etc.)
• Clothing and Bedding (a change of clothes for each family member and blankets)
• Important documents (copies of your driver’s license, passport, and birth certificate to name a few)
• First Aid supplies (although you’re a goner if a zombie bites you, you can use these supplies to treat basic cuts and lacerations that you might get during a tornado or hurricane)

In case of a survival situation you will need to move fast either stay and fight or flee you have about 3 days a week at max before the people in your area start freaking out and ganging up breaking in and looting

So if you plan on staying you will need a mandatory 2 weeks of food and water. That’s 1500 cal. A day in food per person, eat up the non- canned goods first, and no less than 1 gal. A day, of water per person. Also some way of protecting yourself and the others in the group ie: guns with enough ammo to fight for 2 or more weeks i would say no less than 1000 rounds, knifes, spears, swords try to stay away from fire because you’ll burn your house down. You’ll also need medication ie: ace bandages , antibiotics, aspirin, antiflamatory, IV’s, and needle and thread, and also antibiotic ointment. And a medical book is a good idea if available.
Supplies: flash lights, extra batteries, battery powered radio, duct tape nails hammers saws all hand held tools get them where you can use them. Now you have to fortify your dwelling board up all windows and doors to rooms you are not using throw some trash in the yard so it looks like its been looted fill up the bath tub and all other containers with water just as a back up you can never have to much water. Have extra bleach on hand to purify the water ( 1 tps per gallon ) turn off all lights that can be seen from the outside. And make your stand rotate watchout about every 3-4 hrs fresh eyes can focus more. Now clothing i would suggest dark pants and long sleeve shirt also dark in coloring. If they cant see you then they dont know your there. Also boots or high tops you dont need to brake your ankle. A change of socks every day or atleast 3 times a week. Without your feet you cant run or fight. And good luck!!!!!

So you decided to flee? Where are you going? have a plan. I would suggest go to a royal place where there is little to no one ie: woods, mountains, island, desert, depends on what part of the world you are in. Do not take the main highways they are going to be backed up for miles on end. You’ll need a map look for off the trail roads less traveled. Take all canned goods extra gas spear tires ( yes more than one )as much food and water as you can find. Liters and firer starters, clothing enough for each season you never know what is going to happen on the open road protection anything that you can find but you going to need a gun for sure i would say no less than 200 rounds. Also a first aid kit a basic one will work. Dont stop for strangers and if there is road blocks go around never get out of the car. Once you get to where you are going refer to the list above…

So you made it past the first wave ( 2-3 weeks ) now what?? You’ll have to keep surviving. Hopefully by now you have a secure place and maybe a small group of people. You’ll need to go scouting for food and other supply’s . your scouting team should be diverse max of 3 people in the group. You should have your person who knows medical the best the person who knows the area and then you. You should always go to make sure things that need to be gotten is got. you survived this long because you know what is going on and you have the knowhow. Limit yourself of being seen stay in the shadows. Get in and get out don’t go into the big stores chances are they have already been looted you have to think outside the box. Hit up the mom and pops stores pawn shops goodwill salvation army these stores have a lot of the stuff you’ll need to survive and your everyday people would not of thought about used stuff. But this is survival name brands don’t matter. Get everything that you can carry that can be used and move. Dont stay in one place to long and try to be quite if you must break a window do so to one that is in the back or on the side if possible. Make sure you get medicine all that you can carry, seeds, ammo, food, water, medical book ( now is a good time to grab one ) arrows bows, and candy bars ( not only because you can use them for instant energy but it a treat for staying alive and its something to keep the sprits up in the group ).

List of guns and other survival gear

• 22 cal. Long riffle ( you can carry a lot of ammo and its less weight)
• 9mm ( almost every store carries these round it is the most common round made)
• AR15 ( 30 round clip and very accurate and dependable )
• 38 spc. ( highly known weapon good beginer gun anyone can shoot )
• Goggles ( protect your eyes glasses will work but without your eyes you can not see )
• 8 inch boots lace up ( good support)
• Medical book ( tells you everything from what kind of pills are what to how to stitch up someone’s cut )
• Knifes ( kabar 9 inch blade the longer the better )
• Camel back ( holds 1 gal. Of water and you wear it like a back pack )
• First aid kit
• A box of MRE ( meals ready to eat a box is enough food for one person for 1 ½ weeks)
• Iodine or bleach ( use to disinfect your water that you find 1 tbls. Per gal. )

Good idea to have in a kit-ready-to-go

• Lighter, metal match, waterproof matches, flint with built-in striker
• Snare wire
• Signaling mirror
• Wrist compass
• Fish and snare line
• Fishhooks
• Candle
• Small hand lens
• Oxytetracycline tablets (diarrhea or infection)
• Water purification tablets
• Solar blanket
• Surgical blades
• Butterfly sutures
• Condoms for water storage
• Lip balm
• Needle and thread
• Knife or multitool

Comment on 10 Game of Thrones Theme Song Covers by Arytu

Have you heard the version with the heavy metal and violin covers spliced together? Simply AMAZING.

Comment on 10 Silly Anime Weapons by slava

Actually a reverse blade katana would not work on multiple levels. When the blade is forged it is straight and not curved, the curvature comes from the tempering process as it cools the cutting edge at a different rate as the spine. The curve is actually due to metal contracting at different rates because of the difference in cooling rate.

The acoustic only and violin versions are clearly the best, the heavy metal version isn’t bad but the violin and acoustic ones add a level of mystique to the theme which we can totally associate with GOT!

Comment on Introducing Someone to Anime by Kreiyu

Just some suggestions for the new anime viewer.

Full Metal Alchemist is a good one for action and comedy.
Paranoia Agent to mess with your head. :D
Samurai 7′s another one for good action and an excellent story.
Kemonozume is good for the adult friend/family you want to introduce to anime. Good action, quirky humor and a nice dose of japanese weirdness. I say adult cause there is occasional nudity and sex, but the show doesn’t rely on it.
I actually was first introduced to anime through the films not the movies, so i think it’s only fair to include some here as well.
Perfect Blue, another excellent psychological thriller.
Afro Samurai, great sword action.
Tokyo Godfathers, this one’s just a great story with humor some sadness.
Anything for Studio Gibli, old and new, good for the whole family.

I know you were doing newer anime series on your list and they’re all good and i kept mine some what to that theme, but i think most fans would already know the newer anime for suggestions. So i’m gonna add a small list of the older stuff here for people who stumbled here and are new to anime with no one they know to give suggestions.

Series:
Ronin Warriors
Samurai Pizza Cats
Vampire Princess Myu
Record of Lodoss War
Ranma 1/2
Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT
Neo Genesis Evangelion
Tenchi Muyo

Movies:
Vampire Hunter D and sequel
Eyes of Mars
Demon City
Demon City Shinjuku
Ninja Scroll
Angels Egg
Project A-Ko and sequels
Roujin Z
The Lensman
Akira
Devil Man and sequel(s). I’d say all of them but the last one i found dissapointing.

Well i hope this helps introduce people to the joys of anime.

Comment on Introducing the Paper-Like e-Ink NoteSlate by Aja

I wonder which is worse, the whole of the paper process, from cutting down the trees to the landfill/recycling plant, or the whole of the machine construction process, from the invasive mining for precious metals, unfair labor practices overseas, plastic manufacturing, and recycling/shipping off to Thailand to be burned?

plz read as unbiased comment. I am neither a computer recycling wizard nor a paper-making expert.
