Yup, like if these guys made a proper grail war in Strange Fake, Lotion would have a point. However, they failed hard. Really hard. So I don't see the issue.
Yep. Hence the title. Anyways it's by the guy who wrote Baccano and Durarara. I'm sure he knows what he's doing.
When you start explaining the Force with science you ultimately ruin the mysticism it reprensents and devalue its purpose. As the prequels stand attest to.
The Force didn't need to be conformed into another equation of science, as the other films already established it as this life force thst brings life and balance to the Galaxy. Reveled in mystical elements inspired by that of eastern culture, religion and folklore.
The important thing is that it makes sense within the confined rules of said narrative's universe -- Like say Stein's Gate, which I'm still writing something on
Although given Star Wars established nature as that of "sci-fi-fantasy" it's already being obtuse with that of things like "hyperdrives" and how they make ships fly at the speed of light.
Because that's not the story it wants to tell -- It does not want to talk about humanity finding it's place among the stars, but rather more of an epic fantasy story, where heroic rebels rage war against a tyrrannical empire.
I finished Silver Spoon season 2. I hope they make another season to wrap things up. The show was really great and I'd recommend watching it for both the comedy and education that it provides. I'd also like to state that it has a really great protagonist who develops as the series progresses and is extremely likable. This means the characters are all great by extension. Mr. No Touch knew what he was talking about when he recommended that I watch Silver Spoon. I'd say that in a nutshell, the series is about maturing. Silver Spoon manages to always hit hard and home with the themes it wants to get across. There are things like animals being butchered and there are quite a few other sad moments, but it is true to farming. 9 out of 10.
It's probably very clear what I just hit. I'll tell an amusing story in a few (amusing for me) but for now I need to go back to having my brain explode.
Oregairu keep delivering good episodes and hand waving dude is really making the darker side of me wish for certain things to happen to him. He's possibly the personality I would get along with the worst. Keep being awesome Hiki and think the things that make it bearable to be around that person. Also more of this below.. moooooore!

When it comes to magic use in shows/sames, i just attribute it the giant pink bunny known as Silvester who supervises all magical and scientific work to make sure it makes total sense. There is also the yellow miniature dingo who called Harry who often helps Silvester with his work.
I tend to think they are saving me from an in depth explanation that would go a tad over my head when I first hear it.
I mean, seriously, I watched to be entertained, not take an advanced class on Magical theory.
And of course the collective work of many can create a being greater than them, even if it isn't the real deal, that's the basis of some servants, right? A fake corrupted Holy Grail seems perfectly plausible.
Okay, I've settled myself a bit more so let's throw some real words together. HF day 9 pt 2:
Spoiler
The funny story I was referring to before came last night after the interlude where Rin told Shinji that what makes a real magus and how he doesn't fit the bill regardless of blood (more on that later). I had to pause there and chuckle for a little while cause outside of the expected Rin and Shirou examples, I realized she was also describing Sakura perfectly. I mumbled about it to House, made the expected "Huehue did Zouken choose wrong?" comments and then thought about it more this morning when I woke up.
So, where do I even begin on how day 9 blew my mind? Again earlier this morning I had to tilt my head a bit at the conversation between both Kotomine and Gil and Zouken and True Assassin. Both of them had one point true between them that was very curious: The fact that when a servant is summoned, their wishes align with their Master's. Everything was more or less clicking okay in my head once I filtered through certain Master changes and such until I came to one pair that felt off in every way imaginable. Shinji and Medusa. Once Shirou's rescue of Sakura started clicking where it was going, I couldn't help but smile even if the back of my mind was like "Okay well I still can't comprehend why they were paired..." Then of course the true reveal hit and those two conversations didn't feel quite so off anymore.
Add on top of that the fact that Sakura is actually a Tohsaka... I spent the first two routes not really connected to Sakura since she was so "Hi/bye/Senpai" but with this new information I look back on those two routes and realize that wasn't supposed to be making the reader ":\ Why..." over Shinji being chosen, but a very sneaky prep for laying out that the adoption part of that conversation is less about making you wonder why Sakura wasn't put for adoption by the Makiri/Matou and more for making you realize she *was* put for adoption by the Tohsaka. Likewise regarding Sakura and Rin's relationship, I spent those routes figuring that Rin just knew Shinji was an ******* and stepped up to protect an acquaintance because of it. Ow, it's to protect her actual sister...
Basically MAH REALIZM, blahblah, Nasu set a lot of things up between two routes and just completely tore them all down. I love it.
I kind of mentally ran out of steam there. But my brain's been doing backflips since I started this segment. I take the most amusement in knowing that day 9 was when I started to give a **** about the Fate route and well... HF just blew that out of the water. Even though I'm not yet complete with the route, this is the point where I must thank Fate/ senseis for all the hype training, because HF is going above and beyond what I had hoped for it.
I'm in the neighborhood for animes with dark/depressing settings. Kind of like Madoka or vid related.

I'm a sucker for white haired dudes. Is there guy on guy in this?
So yeah today was my mom's birthday. We went to the better Gabe Newell Steamed crab shop that is further away to bring crabs home. The one close by is not really bad but they tend to just get in orders of nothing but female crabs. Now I am not a sexist by any means but I am a sexist.
Towards female crabs.
They taste ugh and icky. And I know not many people know this and/or understand this but those stupid SJWs on Tumblr want me to eat them in the name of their matriarchy female crab feminism. I say no to them! And I think this is a real and important and serious issue that more people on the Internet should fight them on.
Anyway as we were going back I had the bag with the superior in rank and taste male crabs. But one of their superior sharpe legs cut through the bag as well as the outer bag over the first bag. I got stabbed in the leg by its leg. It then came to me this male crab was a "Red Knight" one of those male crabs that want me to eat female crabs but all it really wants is to get some hot crab action. And not be dead and food. Even in death these SJWs fight on!
I got over it pretty fast even with the tiny hurt and tiny bit of blood coming out of my leg, It was not that bad. Then the next block down, a car went over the limit to catch the light. It went over a muddy puddle really fast and thank god I was the one to take the muddy water and not my mom. Tho some got on her feet. This driver too, must have been a Crab Feminist SJW, there is no other explanation. They went by really fast, but I still yelled many bad words at them.
As we got back home, there was ice cream on our front door. At that point I was fed up and yelled to the skies.
"Damn you Anita Crabeesian!
And.
DAMN YOU DECADE!!!"
So anyway about that JoJo episode.
Spoiler
IGGY NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
