Oh.

Magic.

That's a magical girl capable of laying waste to continents more or less single handedly. She can probably handle a regenerating yam, or strongarm one of her other magically capable friends into it.

I'm intrigued by the idea that anime is trying to perpetuate a conspiracy to make Westerners thing Japanese people like to eat baked yams in the fall. Now we just need to figure out what their motive is. Any takers here?
... considering their primary market generally isn't westerners, I imagine the actual motivation is something domestic. It wouldn't be entirely surprising if whoever's controlling yam production and distribution hasn't been slipping folks money to product place, ferex.

Do believe, like, stomach shrinkage or something along those lines is a thing, though. If you don't eat or eat very little for a long period, suddenly eating a large meal can make you quite sick, ferex. Just don't think it's actually permanent or anything, in most cases. Takes some time to build back up to larger capacity, so to speak, but if you gradually ramp up the amount you're eating, you'll be able to eat more. Up to varying limits, o'course.

There's probably plenty of medical data related to that re: recovering coma patients and suchlike... folks weaning off a liquid diet. They'd be experiencing more or less the same phenomena.

Sweet potato. Or yam, I guess.

I once got absurdly addicted to the old game Stronghold. Even today, it's worth checking out if you can get past the interface.
... I could never figure out what the blazes I was doing. Tried... probably four, five times now, spread out over several years. Despite that, flailing around and failing horribly was kinda' great.

... why quote the post from march?

Also that's not even remotely all the reasons folks have for being interested in this stuff. Which you might know if you actually read the thread?

That's...  not getting in what the other folks probably will. Poor word choice, really.

I swear to you, it's a masterpiece.  Folks may not like it, but I could write essays on it forever.
For what it's worth, I'd totes read a few of those. Film analysis isn't something I've messed with much -- media analysis in general, really... I usually don't try to understand my entertainment much beyond, "Do I like it" and "Does it seem technically competent, even if I don't".

... definitely sounds like my continuing love of giant robot shows/good-ol'-hot!blood would sync right in with the movie. Shame I can't bring myself to justify the ~eight bucks it looks like it's showing for in my area :-\

You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else.
Which is still thoroughly unique on the macro (and most of the micro) scale or it wouldn't be differentiated. Snowflake ain't got jack on general molecular noise.

Well, you are offending Chac the Rain God...
Or, at least Chac is claiming offense.

It's a little known factoid, but Chac is also a minor divinity of tsunderes.

You're looking for The Last Ringbearer. You can go here for the second edition of the english translation. Translation and distribution appears to have been given the go-ahead by the original author, so. Have fun.

Keeping your hipster cred loses all your hipster cred, too, though. I'd probably say just pull out the local coinage and flip for it. P comes before T, so Pillars of Earth is heads.

I'm in the same sort of situation right now.  English teacher told us when we were getting ready to leave class that we have to write a friendly four paragraph letter.  It's going to count as a quiz grade, it's due tomorrow, and I have no idea what to even write.
Letter from frodo to sauron. Probably expressing admiration and praise regarding the latter's efforts at modernizing middle earth.

Believe it or not, I don't think porn is against the actual regulations in any of the libraries I have frequented.
Ehn. Fairly sure it's a criminal offense to display porn in an area accessible to minors, at least in (most?) parts of the states. Distribution of pornography to minors, something like that... not sure if it's a misdemeanor or a felony, though. Point being they generally don't have to specifically state "Don't do this" if it's flat out illegal anyway.

Bingo. Also, you basically can't resell the loose leaf stuff. Blatant and bloody clumsy profiteering bullshit, among all the other crap related to it.

And savings, ha. It was cheaper to buy used and get the online portion separate than to buy this "binder version" bull. But! Note: Only version the campus store had. Further note: The ISBN was specifically for the binder version, with no indication that other versions existed. Bit of a research failure on my end, but... seriously, stuff like that should be illegal, or at least something able to press a civil case against or whatev'. Blatant... whatever that is. Or at least just cause for dragging whoever was responsible for it out in the street and, like, kneecapping them or something. We really need better legal recourse to be able to go, "This shit isn't cool, people." Though maintaining decent controls on said recourse would itself be a nightmare, but... meh.
