Characters Doing Stupid (or Just Plain Dangerous) Things

The real heart of CAA; discuss specific series, issues, and things related to anime here.

XD If Tifa had sense (no offense) she should've told Marlene to hide, in my opinion. Despite being able to fight--I mean--think about it. Some weird and totally random (yet good-looking) guy, busts into wherever you are, asking "Wanna play?"
Plus, she had time to give him a TKO while he was on his phone! But no, let's just stand and smile. She was being way too polite and really took his 'wanna play' too literally.

Then they have to twirl around in their own little world for a moment in order to distract themselves from the fact that they're basically stripping in public and then dressing themselves again. Their enemies, however, are typically just so bewildered by this insane behaviour that they fail to notice that a well-placed bullet or two could take these girls down while they're busy spinning around half-dressed and oblivious.


XDD So true.

Makes sense ^^. This is a funny topic.

Sailor Star Maker. . .what was Takeuchi thinking? XDDD

One of the girls who went with me to China shouted "Crocodile death roll method!" and rolled on top of my friend, stealing all of the blankets we had (we were sharing a hotel room in Beijing). It was interesting; she ended up looking like a giant burrito.

I think anime characters who give names to their punches and kicks do it for the lulz, and to parody anime in general, XD.

Well I mean her name is Sailor Star Maker, right? And a uterus like...makes life. Or something? I mean it sort of makes sense a little maybe!

And then like...Sailor Star Fighter has Star Serious Laser, and lasers are used for fighting! And other science-y things BUT MOSTLY FIGHTING.

And Sailor Star Healer has Star Sensitive Inferno because...uh...the fire...heals people...because...they're like purifying flames...yeah. YEAH!

Oh snap I totally just BS'd my way through that post. Rock.

That kind of makes sense, actually. Serious Laser for serious business? And maybe it would be a good idea to drop the uterus thing (even though it's the funniest attack name in anime ever).

Don't know why I even bothered. It's one of those thoughts that smack you in the shower.


I like the reactions of the villains when they're getting obliterated in Sailor Moon. Hilarious :D

True. If I were a villain about to get annihilated by a preschooler wearing way too much pink whose battle cry is "Crystal Twinkle Bell!", I'd be pretty devastated to. I'd rather be hit by the transgender hero shouting about a uterus.

Quoted for the lulz. Really, Sailor Moon must be the place where all failure villians go. After all, they get killed by 14-year-old school girls.

I always thought that blowing up the moon [Piccolo/Master Roshi] was a terrible thing for the planet.

Ten year old school girls--with super alien powers (Hikaru (I think that's her name) is a 'figure' or an alien lifeform). Fused together, they form Figure 17. Hence the title XD.

Those powers are definitely not under the Sailor Moon category XDD.

Its OK... Neither do I XD

What I think is interesting is why are the bad guys nice enough to allow the good guys time to shout the long~ name of their attack? Wouldn't it be easier just to whack them off when their screaming Iron Reverse Soul Stealer!! ..Just my thought. n.n;

This is actually much like the misuse of the apostrophe in English today. It doesn't make you look smart, but it annouces to the world "LOOK OUT GUY'S, THIS WORD ENDS WITH AN 'S'!"

Um, Sailor Moon powers are all twinkley, twinkley sugar plummy. Well, some of them. (Not like I hate Sailor Moon ^^').

Figure 17 also uses weapons (this dagger thing) and hand-to-hand combat. Wait--I don't even think Figure 17 uses powers....does it? I haven't read the whole thing, but it doesn't seem so...

Does this fit in the Sailor Moon category XD? I don't think so...

Having seen most of Figure 17, the similarities kinda stop at the whole 'magical girl' part.
