    It... it wasn't relevant... and then... I made it relevant... artificially... without saying anything further... I'm God! I - am - God!

    Awh man, I must be God! Only God could change the soundness of an argument without there being some mistake or something in it! Well spotted, TDC! You aren't a complete idiot with no concept of logic and argument, as some people might try to point out! I'm looking at you, Zanza!

    I'm gonna do it again!

    All A are B
    All B are C
    Thus all A are C
    Xyle's a fucking braindead, arrogant with no justification, inconceivably stupid wanker!

    ... It didn't work that time...

    You know wayne, most of the time you are an articulate intelligent writer whose rants about logic are a delight to read.

    But sometimes you're a pretentious dick.

    Once again you find my point. While wantonly abusing another member of The House does no damage to the logic of your argument, it does discredit the speaker making his argument more difficult to take seriously.

    I'm not a complete idiot and I am not the smartest person who reads these posts; if I can see through your personal attacks, so can they.

    As Smuelissimo implied, your debates have been worthwhile reads, even when they have included jabs at the opposition. Dragging the opposition into debates where they don't belong spoils the experience.

    How recently have you studied logic?

    What the fuck does any of that have to do with zombies and panty shots?

    Right, while I don't deny that you're completely wrong, I'll readily admit that I was being unnecessarily rude and dickish to illustrate my point.

    There was a module in college this semester just finished; but I thought it was kinda boring and bullshit (Aristotelian logic).

    Aristotelian logic is bullshit? You might want to retake that class then. Aristotle's work is the basis of our understanding of logic, having been expanded upon by the Stoics, which in turn is the basis of Boolean Algebra.

    Doesn't mean it's not bullshit. Modern physics has its basis in Newtonian physics, but it doesn't mean Newton was right in everything that he said, and similarly, Aristotelian logic is now found to be insufficient, hot, stinking, corn-studded bullshit.

    I have to say the 4th episode is borderline softcore porn. No sex but they do get their jubblies out a lot.

    Still, that's an amazing display of restraint coming from the Japanese. Most other animes would have devolved into throbbing alien tentacle rape way earlier tha...

    Oh, you said episode, not season. Carry on, then.

    Sorta OT: I'm watching anime from my childhood again, you know, stuff like Hokuto No Ken and Rurouni Kenshin. Good times, fond memories, and lots and lots of violence.

    Pantyshots aren't very common for some reason.

    That anime sounds less "survival horror" by the minute.

    I watched the first episode. Zombies, blood, gratuitous panty shots and awkward breast physics. Overall, meh.

    I always find the first episode of nearly all shows are never the best episode. Too much introducing the characters and the setting.

    Usually that's true, but this one did a really good job of just dropping the viewer into the middle of the start of things.

    Finally started this thing. I planned to watch one episode just to get started but ended up watching three in a row and stopping only because some sleep is good too, so I guess that says I quite enjoy it.

    My fears that it will be a semi-serious show revolving mostly around showing off female bodies thankfully turned out to be unfounded - it is an enjoyable survival horror after all, where the occasional panty flashing and boobie flailing are just for the flavour.

    Not the flavour I seek in my story-possessing anime ever since I gotten access to the bottomless source of hentai known as the Internet, but I can bear with it, as long as the Nurse keeps down, anyway. Seriously, those wobbling sounds are a bit too much.

    I like where the story is going so far. Nail-shooting chubby for the win. Pinkhair, get devoured ASAP.

    I'm looking forward to hearing your opinion after Act 6, Muro.

    Eh, the voices and writing seem kinda... hit and miss. Some of the lines and references go down well, but others just kinda... Fall short. And the acting quality seems to... fluctuate. Saeko or whatever, and the tanned purple haired sniper's voices don't really seem to match the character personally. I'd imagine the cool-headed swordsman to be slightly more.. reserved. And the sniper should be more... badass, tough. But that's just my opinion. Definitely not the best dub I've seen. Not the worst by a looong shot though. Oh God. Some of those hentai they had English porn actress' voice. Ugh those were awful.

    Edit. Also, I don't like how they changed some of the characters personalities. In the manga Saeko was a little reserved and mature. Now shes throwing around f-bombs fairly often. I'm fine with swear words, it just doesn't fit the character at all.

    Why the devil would you watch dubbed anime? The best dubbed series I've seen is FMA (the original not the bastardization that is Brotherhood), and that still only ranks as decent.
