@Temcor: I should've specified what I meant. I meant that within the series, UC did not feature as much death and/or destruction as CE did. I remember watching half of the Gundam series and all of Zeta Gundam, and very little death actually occurred in the series. I just think that becomes a factor in evening out Amuro's experience with Kira, because for all we know, Kira has MS counts 10 times that of Amuro. Again, this is pretty subjective and relative.
@Kaimax: I never said that the Funnels were superior/inferior to the DRAGOONs, just that I thought you were downplaying the DRAGOON a bit too much. Plus, we do see Kira manually targeting MSs in his cockpit, which is ridiculous because he would need a ridiculous amount of spatial awareness to shoot at targets at varying distances and varying axises. And not all the time do the DRAGOONs actually fire than revert to wings - I'm pretty I've seen them continuously fight without ever returning to the wings position. The mission log of yours is more complicated than that, as Kira probably and constantly updates coordinates and aiming with each burst from each DRAGOON unit. But I do agree that the funnels feature more autonomy than the DRAGOONs, but I think the psychic-ware installed is just more advanced than the DRAGOON system. I think the firepower on the Funnels are also bigger and powerful than the DRAGOON based on the size of the laser beams.

Just remember that Japan does not feature Catholic all-girl schools like what Strawberry Panic! features. There is something called reality.
I wish there was higher standard that posters should follow when creating a new thread on an artist. Having, "My fav artist - dicuss" or "I like x,y,z from this artist - discuss" is just a lack of effort to make the thread more informative or discussion contributing.
A basic rundown of Master Chief and the story of Fall of Reach in my own words:
At a very young age, John-117 and many other Spartan II candidates were scouted for their superior genetics and subesquently abducted by Catherine Halsey, the leader and head scientist of the Spartan II program. The children were replaced by flash clones to cover up the abductions. Once the trainees reached camp at planet Reach, under the eye of CPO Mendez, they grew up together to overcome the many obstacles and training that Mendez threw at them. In short, the Spartans were all they had, and this forged a strong bond within the Spartans. (Partly manipulated by the trainers and training program itself) John-117 was particular amongst the group in that he was the leader of group as every Spartan deferred to him in training and combat. I believe around 150 trainees were recruited. Spartans were also trained in just about everything, from history, military strategies/tactics, weapons, hand to hand combat, vehicles, improvisation on the field, etc.
When it came time for the Spartans to receive their major dose of experimental drugs to make them faster and stronger (physical/mental biological enhancements), only less than half of the Spartans made it. Out of the 150 recruits, only 75 Spartans were selected, and even less than half of the 75 survived the procedure, give or take around 25-35 operational Spartans. John-117 was also put through a hand-to-hand combat trial with ODST soldiers, killing them in the process (unknown to John) and creating the rivalry between the ODST division and the Spartans. After readjustments to their bodies, tests followed soon after, and the results even surprised the trainers and researchers. They were soon put into real action, such as abducting the governor of the rebel forces on the asteroid Eriadanus. (sp?) Soon, the Spartans received their Mark series armor and several missions followed after, like the assault and recon on Sigma Octanus VI. (sp?) Eventually all Spartans were refitted with the Mark V armor that had the reversed-engineered Covenant shielding. John-117 was forced to do another test with said armor and he passed it with flying colors with the help of Cortana, the AI that had a 90-something percent match with John-117 and was fitted with the new armor.
Soon after, the Spartans were put on the most dangerous mission all - capture a Covenant Prophet to broker an armistice due to the fact that the humans were losing the war against the Covenant. It was only a matter of time. John-117 was made Master Chief of the group due to his above average abilities, leadership qualities, and his exceptional luck that no other Spartan could rival, e.g. Kelly was the fastest, Sam was the strongest, Linda was the best sniper, etc. Thus, Captain Jacob Keyes (part of the Spartan scouting expedition with Dr. Halsey mentioned in the beginning) was placed in charge of the Pillar of Autumn, but before the mission could start, the Covenant came to Reach due to a latched bug on Captain Keyes's old ship from the Octanus system fight. Master Chief sent most of the Spartans (around 15-20) to Reach groundside and he and two other Spartans destroyed the AI on one of the ships that hadn't initiated the Cole Protocol. More fighting ensues, and Master Chief with a near comatose Linda is aboard the Pillar of Autumn and they make a slipspace jump to the beginning event of Halo: Combat Evolved.
Further history of Master Chief John-117 is explained through his involvement in Halo, Halo 2, and Halo 3. Above all else, he wants to win and places the mission before anything else. When the Flood and the Covenant Civil War came, his priority was changed to the overall scope of saving humanity period.
I fucking breathe Halo.

A few years later and now, I realise I was losing interest in anime. Not because they were not good. Just that most mainstream anime didnt have much to offer other than fan service, humor or over powered heroes. I guess as I grew older, my mind demands a more deeper story line or at least something unique or the fan-service not overly done.What ^ said. Btw, put a space between punctuation and the next word for ease of reading.
@Rbz: very funny, kudos for the lulz, but satire can only go so far.
As for old faggy shit, I'd have a bitch cool off my nachos.

And the series of neg repped that must of followed not long after...Never got derepped. Most of the time, derepping was at a minimum in the first motemote.
@kisukesword: you mentioned that it was hard to differentiate 320k and Lossless, right? My earlier post comes into play because with even 320k music files, they significantly take up less space than FLAC files, which is main argument why I don't listen to Lossless because of the massive space consumption. For only that barely discernable difference between 320k and Lossless, it isn't worth that extra 10-50 extra MBs per song.
@Blaze: I believe that Kira has way more skill in piloting a MS because of this SEED abilities, Athrun could probably give Amuro a run for his money in terms of melee fighing. I firmly believe that Amuro's Newtype abilities are the only advantage that he has against Kira, and it isn't that much that Amuro overpowers Kira.
Experience is relative since UC didn't deal with the massive amount of armies and units that CE does. The kill ratios are much more lopsided for UC compared to CE as CE has units dying left and right. While Amuro's been in more wars that Kira, Kira in my opinion been through much more in the two wars that were much more jam-packed with fighting than the UC series.

These sort of threads ought to have a much more descriptive intro post than just a couple of sentences. That's just my opinion.
Kotoko has released 5 albums, 3 under Geneon and 2 as part of I've Sound. Her music is a blend of Jpop and Jtrance, and you can hear a lot of electronica that make up the background and even foreground of her music. This attribute is also shared with the rest of the I've Sound members' music, though Kotoko has done much more toned down "soft" songs and can range to fast-paced outright trance-like songs. One of the more interesting things about her is that she composes and writes her own music and lyrics where a lot of music artists don't. I won't even mention her work with the I've Sound and I've Sound special unit... there too many songs and albums to mention that exemplifies her work.
She's done a lot of work for both anime and video games, which usually are either eroge or galge, and her songs have also been used in hentai, which I find to be a rare event: ED song Sensitivity in the hentai Stepsister.
Notable anime that feature her work as OP/ED:
Onegai Teacher & Onegai Twins
Maria-sama ga Miteru
Hayate the Combat Butler
Kannazuki no Miko
Starship Operators
Shakugan no Shana
BALDR Force EXE Resolution
Mahou Shoujo Tai Arusu
Kamen no Maid Guy
I would probably say that Face of Fact, the OP to BALDR Force EXE Resolution, is my favorite song in her huge-ass collection, but songs like Oblivion, Sensitivity, We Survive, Re-sublimity, Being, Blaze, Shooting Star, Second Flight, Epsilon no Fune among others are my favorites besides many others. Here's the OP of anime BALDR Force EXE Resolution, "Face of Fact" (Resolute Ver.):
And here's a Code Geass S1 AMV featuring Kotoko's "We Survive" song:

Fuck, I wanna hold her from behind... with a raging hard-on. I admit the Natsume sisters are probably one of the hottest anime babes around.
@Hentaize: So who's that guy banging Maya from behind, or what chapter? I've gotta know more about this pic because it's so sexy.
@Tsurayu: No, I'm stating a fact that people take rep as a sign of their e-penis. It's precisely people can see their rep go up or down that causes the massive amounts of drama at FAKKU!. I don't see that as being sarcastic or dumb at all.
@Hentanize: where did that second pic come from? Looks sexy as hell.
I noticed people mentioned that Ogure Ito had done h-mangas/doujins - can I get some links? (Besides the Silky Whip series) I must experience his ecchiness the next level.
The only bad thing about Oh! Great is his weak plot pacing.
