Hah! I shall now use my Berserker Soul on you…along with a deck that is 99.9% composed of monster cards for added effect!!!
Yes, yes. With great power comes great responsibility.Hah! I shall now use my Berserker Soul on you…along with a deck that is 99.9% composed of monster cards for added effect!!!
…Ahem. I do agree that Anime itself (just like many things) is not inherently evil; it only becomes an evil when used for such a purpose.
Y’know, I really wanted three Blue-Eyes White Dragons (they’re awfully expensive from where I buy them); I only have one, and that was traded to me by a friend!
Do you think Pokémon is through after ten years? Most of the people who still watch it have an odium against May and Dawn and prefer Misty.
Really? I have to challenge a deck like that some time.
Not really. The only dragon-type cards in my (Japanese) deck are Blue-Eyes, Red-Eyes, and Meteor Dragon (one of each). The rest are what-have-you, with two Elemental Heroes and two Destiny Heroes in the mix. Oddly enough, a majority of my monster cards are effect monsters.Yes, yes. With great power comes great responsibility.
Ah but I still have my Black Flame Dragon! Horus, nullify!!! >8D
Speaking as one who’s tried using the Blue-Eyes ultimate combo before (Fuse 'em. Then turn the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon into the Shining Dragon), I have to say that it’s not really practical if you’re like me and you restrict yourself mostly to Dragon-type monsters.
I used to run three Solemns two years ago when I actually dueled. You have to know when the activate those cards. Solemn Judgment is an excellent end game card as it usually allowed me to assemble a significant army of monsters without being tremulous of a Mirror Force, Torrential Tribute, or Ring of Destruction. It also allows your attacks to go through for game without being stopped by those pesky Goats and Enemy Controller.Really? I have to challenge a deck like that some time.
I’m not surprised with “Return from the Different Dimension” though. Even with a Chaos deck, you’d have to be quite insane to half your life points three times over.
Ah, the OP didn’t specify whether the priest condemned all anime or just some. Of course some anime is trash, just as some books are trash.The fault of that does not necessarily rest on the anime but on the person viewing it. Some anime may have images that maybe considered ‘immoral’ at first glance but many people make the mistake of not looking deeper into the image’s context. Take for example, the image you cited about about a boy and girl lying on the same bed. Now to the mind of someone still sexually immature, of course that could send the wrong messages. But to someone older like me, I see a scene portraying a typical romance between a boy and a girl (note: you didn’t specify if they were nude btw so I assume they weren’t). It really depends on the viewer’s interpretation. Many authors use things such as intense fights or draw somewhat highly intimate moments between characters to amplify the emotion in them.
Here’s one example, you see a very intense fight scene with wild explosions and two characters exchanging all manner of intense attacks, but when you realize why the characters are fighting (e.g. the two characters are actually best friends but one was slowly falling away to the side of evil) The drama kind of reduces the all the violence to the background.
Another example would be the passionate kissing scenes found in some romance manga. My mother practically shakes her head when she sees such scenes, but she doesn’t see that usually before such scenes, there was actually a very emotional and climactic moment in the story (e.g. a boy finally realizes his feelings for a certain girl and musters up the courage to confess/admit his feelings before its too late) This kiss simply becomes the cherry on top to end a nice love story.
Although there are indeed manga and anime that cross the line (coughdoujincoughhentaicough) those are usually considered Restricted so either the grandkids of your priests were actually breaking some serious rules or it could be he was just overreacting (no offense
That depends on your age. To me, it doesn’t really get any serious if they’re just snuggling there and not ‘doing it’. It doesn’t even have to be a bed at all. You see a lot of cute images of anime couples snuggling under a tree or leaning against each other on a bench. They seem more romantic than sexual.
The show is not about a vague abstract concept of God vs. Evil (which is how 4Kids portrayed it); the main part of the anime is about Atem trying to recover his lost memory.
Only because a bed tends to have many sexual connotations for some people. If you saw a lotta sexual scenes involving trees, you’d say the complete opposite.
Summoning the Winged Dragon of Ra using an incantation written in Hieratic script would be rather impractical in the real world, as no one today really knows the true pronunciation of Ancient Egyptian as it was pronounced millenia ago, with reconstructions of the pronunciation of some words based on historical relics (such as Coptic or transliterations of Egyptian words in other languages) being the next best thing.
Or he could be some kid possessed by an evil Egyptian artifact. XD
Well thankfully in the real world we don’t have duel disks, so we don’t have to worry about reciting an ancient Egyptian incantation in order to prove ourselves worthy to put a card from your hand to the table. XD
