Re: Japan/the Dutch another important reason why an exception was made for the Dutch is that compared to say, the French or British, the Dutch didn't consider missionary work to be important. If not preaching constantly was the price to pay for exclusive access to Japanese trade they were more than willing to accept.

Yeah, The Portuguese and the Spanish are probably the more important point of comparison there. The Japanese noticed those two nations in particular had a habit of sending in monks and merchants followed by the military and decided they wanted none of it.

Oda Nobunaga was actually pretty okay (comparatively) with Christianity since it provided him with a chip to use against a number of Buddhist monasteries which were giving him some trouble, but his "Successor" Hideyoshi had a more negative opinion of it. Then Tokugawa Ieyasu takes over and he's trying his hardest to keep this country together they just unified after a hundred years of war and there are these Franciscan monks popping up, arguing with the Jesuits and wow all this bickering sure sounds like destabilizing foreign influences, out, out, OUT.

Except for the Dutch. They can stay. At arm's length, sure, but we'll let them.

Also, some Spanish blowhard single-handedly sabotaged any cultural exchange between Spain and Japan.

"Wow! Spain is so small on this map, how did you ever conquer all this territory?"

Do you go:

(a) "Our peoples are numerous, our wealth overflowing, our armies are unmatched!"
or
(b) "Well, we first send in the missionaries, which weakens the kingdoms and starts insurrections, and then we conquer them."

Future of Trigger information from Anime Expo:
>Yoshinari wants to do more LWA
>the third episode would likely be more action-based.
>Shiny Chariot's character and backstory will be expanded
>the true source of the Shiny Rod's powers was alluded to in the climax of the second episode
>MAYBE they will do LWA figures from GSC
>fixes to some drawings, the subtitles and the sound mixing are being done; they will be on the BD

On Trigger's new original:
>2016
>serious-ish compared to everything else Trigger has done
>designs look Persona-ish in that they're wearing black "stylish" uniforms and have fashionable hair-styles
>7 characters, main guy looked like Doujima, main girl had shortish blond hair with some spikes

Zetsuen no Tempest still owns as of episode 8. Lots of fun twists, and I've got no idea how they'll keep this up for 24 episodes. The ED sounds EO4 as gently caress with the trumpets and it's great.
