Not the Region of Poland. Or, if they were two years older, the UK for that matter.

In Poland:

15 years - legal 16 years- women can marry (it's 18 years for men)

No, I meant that all regions in Japan have sexual majority ages higher than the national baseline, as any goon will loudly and frequently remind you.

[up][up]I am sorry that every time I hear mention of Poland I can only think of Hetalia, the Catholic Church, and the Germans bullying you throughout history.

Oh, and that one story about a French guy who became king of Poland and complained that it wasn't as awesome as Versailles.

Hetalia is full of falsehoods and heresies. If Poland is gay, then it should be Manly Gay or Straight Gay. With an epic moustache cool

The king Henry fled not only because French throne emptied, but because Polish nobles tried to force him to marry over 50 years princess who was ugly even for her age [lol] It's good outcome, because the next king, who was a prince of Transylvania, was one of most competent kings in our history. Again, with an epic moustache.

Versailles didn't exist yet at that point, by the way

Then you may use the following for "self-thumping": [[ thump ]] (without the spaces)

I seem to remember a mod saying a while ago that it's bad practice to self-thump that way, since they can't easily distinguish between self-thumped posts and posts that a mod thumped. Probably better just to blank the post.

Good point. Must have been changed at some point so they can distinguish between them.

So, I can't be the only one who thinks the Promised Day in Fullmetal Alchemist was inspired by Third Impact, can I? I mean, it's got an Assimilation Plot, creepy things rising from the ground as people die, unnerving death scenes for characters we've grown to know and love, and to top it all off, a giant Final Boss rising out of the planet!

[up][up]You wouldn't be the first to make that comparison - there used to be a video of Kumm, Susser Todd to those FMA:B scenes before it got pulled from You Tube.

A few months back I think someone compared Madoka's ending to Eva with Komm Susser Todd in the background, too...

Yep. Found it.

I know this thread is a little old, but I think I have a little question for a lot of the Eva fans on this site.

I personally ship Asuka and Shinji. I ship them a lot. I've written fanfics shipping them. Point is, I really like this couple. So what follows may be a little biased and all, so take it with a grain of salt.

A lot of people on this topic, as far as I read, insist that Asuka is bullying Shinji, that basically all their interactions consist of the redhead walking up to the poor child who can't defend himself, only to kick his feet out from under him, and kick him while he's down. That's what it sounds like the general consensus is on the site, and on a lot of sites I've seen. This mindset does make sense, since, after all, a lot of Asuka's scenes do involve her teasing Shinji and making snide comments.

...but most of these scenes also have Shinji fighting back.

Has everyone forgotten Episodes 8-17? All the scenes where there's a back-and-forth argument between Asuka and Shinji? Shinji casually ignoring all of Asuka's bragging when she shows of Unit-02? Shinji calling Asuka's challenge to kiss him? All of episode 9? Not to mention that most of the "bullying" happens early on, and becomes progressively less frequent as the show goes on. In fact, most of the bullying becomes less intense, and sounded to me more like Asuka trying to open up to Shinji—even forcing Shinji to come out of his shell to stand up for himself.

This probably all comes down to Alternate Character Interpretation, but even so it seems like a lot of people are choosing to focus on one side of the discussion. Shinji isn't nearly as weak and vulnerable as people seem to think he is. >_<

I think you are overly sensitive.

I for example like all of the characters (except Gendo), and I tend to see Asuka as Shinji's natural mate.

Asuka does bully Shinji, but that's because Asuka has her own issues.

They are each other's other halves.

I would also say that from what I've seen of this thread, Asuka is not hated by the majority. Perhaps you should have read the thread before concluding that this site hates Asuka.

#4575: Jun 3rd 2012 at 8:21:41 PM

He never said that the majority of this site hates Asuka. The point was that a lot of people on this site assume that Asuka spends her time absolutely ravaging Shinji's confidence, and he does nothing to fight back.
