People are just frustrated because they chose to do a compacted single season rather than give it the full treatment, especially since Sunrise usually don't shy away from long term commitment. They could do a double season series once per year per volume and probably milk it for a decade and everyone would be happy. An anime isn't "very well done" if you have to refer to outside sources in order to understand everything. On September 11 2012 23:31 Aerisky wrote: Hey, you never know. I would be inclined to say that certain things would be nicer with a holographic display with little to no loss in practicality while others (like typing) would, of course, be better with a physical input. Maybe if everything were voice-controlled? But then it wouldn't work well in public places. I dunno, but if there's money to be made, someone will think of something. Perhaps holographic displays and having a touch sensation don't necessarily preclude each other. We have glass displays that let us feel texture already, maybe the same effect could someone be reproduced on a finger? At this point I'm sort of grasping at straws though. No. The main reason why 3D UI is awful is because it's not erogonomic at all. The average office work day is roughly eight hours or so. You can't possibly expect to be comfortable with your arms hanging in the fucking air the entire time. And while you can speculate all you want about holograms having tactile feedback, you can't get around the fact that it will consume ungodly amounts of power in doing so. Where is the money to be made in holographic UI? Holographic displays make sense because presenting a 3D object is best done in a 3D medium. A UI, on the other hand, offers little benefit over existing solutions. You could possibly make an argument for intuitiveness, but honestly, learning gesture controls isn't that much easier than learning key combinations. Voice controls are also awful. How often do people use Siri? I've never actually seen anybody use it outside of just screwing around. It's just impractical. | ||

Out of curiosity, any anime similar to Highschool DXD but that is not ECCHI (aka, no half naked girl). In other words, something more serious about demon x angel, or just good vs bad? Just noticed the new OVA that came out the 9th september. The episode seems to be pushing it (the nude) further than the regular anime | ||

As for DxD pushing it with the OVA... well, if it's anything like the specials it's almost hentai worthy. | ||

It's the original "girl with gun" series, and it has vintage Yuki Kajiura. It's dated (2001) but does hold up pretty well. Eh yeah Noir is about a hundred times better, also yay for Kajiura ... but as I said, Canaan is fine. I really like Black Lagoon too, though it's not exclusively "girls with guns". | ||

Lol, Black Lagoon was the first anime I actually watched on my own (friend threw death note in my face a few years ago though), I watched the OVA and waited for the episodes to come out... didn't really watch any other anime until this year. So yeah, I've watched the OVA. It's pretty brutal :D | ||
