very disappointed that "video game" doesn't link to whatever the literal newest video game would have been

If there were an award for most pretentious, purple prose-ridden, overly-verbose page on Wikipedia, this one would nab the grand prize. There are, undoubtedly, many deus ex machina endings in the show. But it reads more like the author thought "anything that comes from off-screen" counts as deus ex machina.

"Teresa admonishing caution of Mafuyu prior to departing with Sasha is the only warning of an innocuous bathtime session of girl talk becoming the preamble for Ayana showing her true colors as the Magnesium Qwaser as she wields Tomo in an obverse abduction; the ultimate irony of the whole confrontation is that even with her powers energized by Tomo's soma, Sasha successfully turns the tables on Ayana using an iconoclastic strategy in spite of his rage." This is a disaster from beginning to end. Period. The entire thing feels like something out of The Inheritance Cycle, whose author has a seriously abusive relationship with his thesaurus. Pro-tip: Never substitute a word for another based on length. If you have a word that's perfect, but long, use it. If you're using it BECAUSE it's long, throw away your keyboard. This goes for both novels and wiki pages.

All of this is an ironically long-winded way of saying that someone should probably do something about this page. I would, but...well, the series isn't really worth that much effort. And for the record, I'm not attacking anyone personally. Even if it sounds like it. 24.95.247.110 (talk) 22:37, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Qwaser

quote:

The story chronicles the school lives of Mafuyu Oribe and Tomo Yamanobe at the Japanese Eastern Orthodoxschool St. Mihailov Academy where they have endured persecution and isolation from other students led by the daughter of the current dean Miyuri Tsujidou and her second-in-command Hana Katsuragi. Mafuyu and Tomo's lives take a drastic turn when they nurse the silver-haired Russian-born Alexander "Sasha" Nikolaevich Hell back to health upon encountering him unconscious during their home commute one day. Almost immediately, Sasha begins to repay Mafuyu and Tomo's humanitarianism as he repels their tormentors; however, this does not change Sasha's prologue as a throw-away Qwaser from the Adepts and that the Adepts have no qualms about making an absolute war zone of the Academy in order to acquire the Theotokos of Tsarytsin from Athos who wishes to keep the icon's existence a secret from the world.

oh hey it's you again, wb horrible lactation-fetish anime

quote:

The series is notable for its violence, fan service, and the use of breast milk as a central plot device.

quote:

Ekaterina referred to her Maria, Hana, as a Mary Magdalen as a form of abuse in reference to the supposition that the Mary Magdalen in the Bible was a prostitute. She is the only Qwaser who has ever referred to a Maria that way and only during the chapter when she chose Hana as her Maria.

quote:

Whenever a Qwaser is replenishing its soma by breastfeeding from a nubile maiden, the Qwaser is draining away the maiden's life force through the breast milk whose quality and potency can be magnified (or diminished) by the situational emotions of the maiden like how coffee or tea is sometimes modified by adding cream or sugar.

quote:

The Adepts' secondary objective is to accumulate a huge reserve of high-quality soma by kidnapping nubile maidens and torturing them into becoming human storage tanks.

He also provided the voice for the Fode, the Galactic Basic speaking half of the two-headed Pod-Race announcer in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, with Scott Capurro providing the voice for the other, Huttese-speaking half, Beed.

Proops has been involved with the Star Wars franchise as well. He played the role of Fode in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. He would later work with the Expanded Universe, reprising his role as Fode in the video game Star Wars Episode I: Racer and the video game adaptation of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, and he guest-starred on two episodes of the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars ("The Mandalore Plot" and "Voyage of Temptation") as Tal Merrick. When Proops was in Whose Line Is It Anyway? he occasionally used one of Fode's lines, "I don't care what universe you're from, that's gotta hurt."

An American dog, a Polish dog and a Soviet dog sit together. The American dog says 'In my country if you bark long enough, you will be heard and given some meat', the Polish dog replies 'What is "meat"?' and the Soviet dog says 'What is "bark"?'. This is a reference to the lack of free speech in the Soviet Union.
