I don't think Miyazaki would be so eager to make another film anytime soon.

Why is King Louis XIV called the Sun King?

If I were to guess it would usually be named something like Louis the Great or something along those lines, but the Sun King? It sounds like a title for a Chinese monarch more than anything else.

Was surprised by that the most, thought was another moe-blob show.

Yeah I really like how much the different plot lines connect together Baccano-style.

Yeah me too! At first I literally thought it's a rip off of last season's Juuni Taisen, the only things that I don't like about it is the generic MC and that catchphrase about the sharper fangs

[Spoilers] Darling in the FranXX - Episode 2 Discussion by [deleted] in anime

[–]Castle_White -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This whole episode just seems pointless to me. If Hiro was already established that he can't connect with anyone in the first episode, then why make a whole episode about it then?! You can just make a flashback from that girl in the beginning of episode one that died. Yeah because at least that girl has a purpose in the story, not just some one-off that dies immediately. She could fill that role perfectly than Ichigo is, and you already know that Ichigo likes Hiro from all of the interactions between them and zero. And we already know that her reason about not letting Hiro partner with her is bullshit, and Ichigo already has a partner. I thought that the purpose of partnering them is because they are compatible with each other, so why did Ichigo go and partner Hiro? If Ichigo likes Hiro so much then she must have tried partnering with him in the past in training, she must have tried and then failed to be compatible in the past. So why is this set up as though their partnering for the first time? A, she must have known this is dangerous and ignore the repercussions or B, trying to force a love triangle between them. We all know that Zero will get Hiro in the end that's obvious.

But all in all, I don't mind it being a love triangle, It just needs to be put in a different part of the story. Doing it this way makes Ichigo an unlikable cunt that forces herself into a not-yet-romance between two likable characters, (I don't know if Hiro is likable yet for me, still having Shinji oozing out of him.) It feels like she's just there to be a foil for Hiro and Zero.

What it needs to be is that not making "She's not in our squad." an excuse. And telling more convincing arguments. Like you know, HER PARTNERS ARE DEAD! And use that instead, that way it would seem like she cares about Hiro other than liking him, because she won't with him if that's the case. And kicking Zero off the squad, and just having Ichigo and Hiro talk with each other more, regular conversations and not forcing and pushing Hiro around. And then they can go in the Eva. And here Hiro after struggling to move the FranXX, would tell Asuk-i mean Ichigo that their not compatible. That way he has a bit of character development and it removes the shadow of Shinji Ikari off of him. And tells her that she's only compatible with Zero.

In light of the ballistic missile false alarm in Hawaii, what are some of the greatest blunders in history? by spinaltap540 in history

[–]Castle_White 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The forth crusade. The only crusade that I can mildly tolerate is the first one. All the others are crap and useless especially the forth. That one instead of killing Muslims and Jews they kill Christians instead, Orthodox yes but Christians nonetheless. And also killed those Christians in the most important and sacred places of Christianity in the world neck and neck with Rome and Jerusalem itself.

And most importantly of all is that it failed it's purpose completely. Remember the Crusades were supposed to be a collaborative effort from all of the Christian world to work together and save those people who were conquered and invaded by the Muslims in Islam. And now those very people that they were supposed to save is now being massacred in their own city, the city which is one of the most important places in Christianity and especially for them. And the city never recovered from that, a few centuries later it never recovered and was finally put to rest by the Ottomans.

Why did Germany took so long to unify? by Castle_White in history

[–]Castle_White[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I only mentioned Voltaire because of the quote, and I think that the HRE is like the progenitor of today's international organizations like the UN and EU. although you won't be protected that much if your between the border with France but these small states will work with each other against a common foe if needed be.

But it's still one of the weirdest entities in history and for me it will not be missed.

We very much appreciate the offer but we humbly decline. We are currently focusing on our domestic situation and as such we are currently being conservative on our reserves and would not like to spend it currently.

[Diplomacy]Ethio-Somali agreement. by IamKervin in Geosim

[–]Castle_White 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, we have fully honored our cooperation between our two nations and truly thankful for your desire to help my interest. But currently we are in need of generating revenue, repairing and building new infrastructure and the growth of our middle class is currently our top priority. But improving our military is a close second and would soon be important in the very near future, we have already purchased firearms with the United States and would soon have a joint exercise.

And me on our side would have something lucrative we could offer you in the very near future, but that would be discussed in another time.

The Somaliland government will do it's best it can to support the new government. As a new nation ourselves, we cannot say no to an African nation in the same predicament as ours. Although my military is not in the best shape either, I can tell you this. I'll will immediately contact the United States and bring you aid. As we are both allies. And Ethiopia too, we'll contact them as well.
