Why do you have such a strong appreciation for Nanaya? And also, what do you think of Ryougi Shiki and how much better she is than Nanaya? |

What's the longest you've gone without sleep? What's the most you've ever had to drink? How much can you bench, bro? |

This is including the striked out as well. Lancer got robbed pretty hard in FSN, but he at least got Hollow Atraxia after, and even just including FSN- Lancer still got to play a major role in the second route. Chaos, on the other hand, gets well... The fucking awesome fight with him and that's about it, and it doesn't even change the second time you see it. I mean, it's awesome and it's a legitimate boast that he almost got to kill -Arcueid Goddamn Brunestud-, even if weakened, but that's pretty much -it-. It's the extent of his character- He is literally left nothing outside of being a vampire who decided to try and fight and absorb a weakened Arcueid. You never explore his motivations, never see any real depth to his character. Lancer you get the depth of how deeply he really should be one of the good guys, except for the fact a certain sneaky bastard has his claws on him. You constantly get reminders that Lancer -is- a heroic spirit, he's just on the other side of the war due to circumstances. Chaos you get 'I AM CHAOS. I'M MADE OF 666 BEASTS. WHO ARE YOU'. Then he dies. I'm not sure if this is really a robbing so much as Chaos being complete chaff, but seeing as I could see much potential for at least a scene like Roa's, coming to understand what led him to this choice to be a vampire, I'm inclined to agree he was robbed of a character. Oh well, Toss it next to Satsuki Route in the Tsukihime Remake wishlist, then. --- Quote from: Esifex on August 01, 2011, 08:51:36 AM ---Isn't it sad, Sacchin ;_; --- End quote --- Yes. Yes it is. ;A; --- Quote from: Sakura Kyouko on August 01, 2011, 10:08:08 AM ---Why do you have such a strong appreciation for Nanaya? --- End quote --- I think my strong appreciation for Nanaya mostly comes from the Tohno, or more accurately I love the fuck out of Nanaya Shiki because of the real Nanaya Shiki. In the first place, Tohno Shiki/Nanaya Shiki's best scenes in the original were basically every time his blood as a member of the Nanaya family kicked in. Everytime that happened he went eleven kinds of awesome higher than the last. First time he cut Arc into 17 pieces. Second time he completely and utterly kicked Chaos' shit in. Third time he taught Roa why you do not mess with Nanaya Shiki. And so on. The Nanaya most commonly refered to as Nanaya is basically this. All the time. This is wonderful and basically makes everything about him a smooth-talking murdering machine with god damn -style-. Not only that, his flanderization of how Shiki being a Nanaya would make him a murder happy psychopath also makes complete sense- because he originally appeared as a part of Shiki's head, of how he views himself as a Nanaya. All he really knows as a Nanaya is how he's drawn to kill the fuck out of people and do it well, and this is mostly because everyone he knows pretty much trips off his blood's reaction to 'something not human'. In reality is Tohno Makihisa/Jerkface McJerk never killed his entire family, he'd actually probably be just as peaceful because the family was going to give up assassination. It's funny because Makihisa ruins everything. --- Quote from: Sakura Kyouko on August 01, 2011, 10:08:08 AM ---And also, what do you think of Ryougi Shiki and how much better she is than Nanaya? --- End quote --- Before I say this, I'll note that watching the KnK movies is on my to-do list, and that all I've read of KnK is the first chapter of the original light novel. Ryougi Shiki simply never caught my attention as a character. Literally, it's probably because the first chapter of the light novel is basically 'Everyday life. By the way I have death eyes.' She... To put it in a word, simply has a rather dull personality and my first impression of her never made me really -like- her. She just seems like the normal serious type with a side of crazy. It doesn't help that she literally got her eyes by getting hit by a car and she literally is perfectly integrated into the magic society from the word go. In short, she really seems like a prototype for the later Shiki, upgrades to personality and situation to make him more interesting included. I'm going to honestly guess that she's a late bloomer and things go seven kinds of awesome later though, just because it's Nasu. It's just hard to make time to read or watch KnK because Ryougi didn't pull me in at first. I'll try and maybe marathon the first few movies sometime this week, if I do ask me this question again for a probably better opinion on her. --- Quote from: Genichiro on August 01, 2011, 01:10:53 PM ---What's the longest you've gone without sleep? --- End quote --- First semester of college's finals, I stayed awake to make sure I didn't over sleep and miss any of them. I was up for around 80+ hours, living off of my medicine and caffeine. I spent the spare time playing RO with Trance and Acidus instead of studying. And I wonder why I did so poorly on Calculus... --- Quote from: Genichiro on August 01, 2011, 01:10:53 PM ---What's the most you've ever had to drink? --- End quote --- If you mean of any kind of liquid, I believe I've been known to in a full day, take down a full gallon of Arizona Iced Tea. If you mean of alcohol, uhm, about a quarter a fancy wine glass of Smirnoff. I don't really like alcohol. Can literally count the times I've had it on my hand. --- Quote from: Genichiro on August 01, 2011, 01:10:53 PM ---How much can you bench, bro? --- End quote --- Probably around 10 pounds at best. My arms are really thin and weak. I don't really know because I don't lift though, so don't quote me on this when I'm suddenly lifting more than that. |
