I think it's more of Anna has this idea that hugs are only supposed to be between family members, and the only way she'd get new family members is through marriage.
I feel like that was setting stuff up for the inevitable scene where Coke-Zero make's Anna's heart go doki-doki and then she undergoes a bit of BSOD not becuase Kouji did typical harem protagonist antics but because oh god all the liquids are sloshing around and why did the automatic systems kick in I thought I had this under control is something wrong with Durga?
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil for I am the meanest son of a bitch in the whole damn valley
*Angry noises*
If that keeps up, it'll get to the point where Kouji is running on fumes and pulls out that attack against a Type Zero, hoping to do a bit of damage as he goes down, and then slices through the Type Zero, the Hive behind it, and the mountain behind that and i still gets broken by a thumb-flick from Anna.
Only among Valks. Which means that there should be a lot of guys as support staff and techs, but we don't really see the REMFs who keep the place running. (Not that Valks need a logistics train as shown by Durga, but having one helps.)
Obligatory
Setsuna's sounds pretty nice. How 'bout that one?
What first line?
There is one, though it's rather short:
That was mentioned in the qoute I provided, if you'd read that you would realise this post was unnecessary.
I hate to beat a dead horse since you've admited you're probably wrong and all, but I just wanted you to know that I got a giggle fit from seeing your diagram. Does Anna only have feet and horn lasers?Damn. I thought I was on to something.
Anna is a bit shorter than two meters, but it makes a fair worst-case check. This is also checking for small angles that reinforced laser outputs can aim across, that lets me make some handy approximations.
The arc swept across is almost straight because the angle is small.
Symmetry tells us when the targeting circles have a diameter of two meters they begin to intercept. Thus, sinθ * x = 2 meters. Which is approximately θ*x = 2 meters, so 2 meters / θ = x.
Sanity check, this says that the larger the angle is the shorter the minimum distance is - which makes sense because the angle is how wide the arc the places can target.
Selected values for minimum distance:
θ=.05 (about 3 degrees), x = 40 meters.
θ=.03 (about 1.7 degrees), x = 67 meters.
θ=.01 (about half a degree) x = 200 meters. (Unacceptable!)
Since Anna's frame can reconfigure itself she doesn't really have a dead zone, she can just adjust where the outputs are pointed, but at thirty meters or less there are better options for mayhem than the lasers. I believe it was mentioned that Anna used to slam into her enemies to save on power?
(It's blue in the description though it says nothing about the energy, but shhhhh, it's a secret to everybody)
The actual inaccuracy is that Durgas halberd is actually pure plasma rather than being made of a material as depicted. By the time this issue was raised in the original drafts of this picture it was dismissed as a concern due to the time that would be needed to re do it and the badassery of the one drawn.
Come to think about, what are the changes that there is going to be need for someone to wear mascot suit during the tournament thingy?
I disagree. He isn't noble enough to be a samurai.
I'll be honest, I expected Kousenjobi to be something like a Prime Frame. This is cool though.So... first draft of Kousenjobi.
In opposition to Durga's... mostly practical design, Kousenjobi is said to be "elaborate, almost ceremonial". My first try (on paper, I can scan it later if you want) had more of a general/samurai look. However, since it's obviously the protagonist's frame who must be a samurai, I changed a loooooot of things to make it miko-y (or priestess-y, if you prefer).
And yes, it has cloth near plasma reactors, 'cause why the fuck not. You have logic? I have a Valkyrie Frame. I win. And anyway, it's not actually cloth, but errr... nano-weave. Extremely heat resistant. To help disperse her weapon's heat. Since it's a ranged frame. Yup. Not making things up on the spot. At all.
Oh, and her face'll be under some transparent thing, if you're wondering. It's covered.
Japanese Valkyrie Core, folded one million times, cuts down gaijin Valkyrie Core. Unless Anna thumbs up.
Please, let the other characters a chance to be best girl. Koujiroko's girl power is way to high already without having a frame that emphasize his feminity.
Don't worry, there'll be GLORIOUS OROKIN GOLD everywhere once it's colored.
Kandakara is very firmly "European Knight" in my head.
Ah? For me, the knight was Albion. It even has the hair-thing atop the helmet.
I was talking more about Sandra's frame, but yes.Albion? The knightmare frame?
This guy?
...I can dig it.
