    like Hanagata? O_______O;;; At the risk of sounding crazy, I'm going to say I do. Quite a bit, actually. I know quite a few people find him annoying, stupid or just plain pointless, but I find him amusing and rather fascinating. Am I alone in my Hana-headness?

    Hanagata, eh?

    Hmmm....I might be seeing where this debate could skew off to, so I guess I'll start with the Saber Marionette J society, whilst I ponder this:

    I understand the society of Terra II, and how it is composed of entirely men with robotic women servants...and as such, the acceptance of homosexuality is without a doubt more normal than Otaru's affection towards his marionettes...I mean, the world is most likely not without any form of sexuality... So the reason so many people bunk on him in the series is probably not due to this...

    Ignoring that whole portion of him, I find Hanagata a laffable and comical character. SMJ just wouldn't seem the same without the standard "Ooootaaaru-kun!" every now and again...

    I admit at first, I got quite annoyed at times, and I flip-flopped through wanting to see him get a knuckle-sandwich and feeling sorry for the poor guy...

    He is, believe or not, an intricate part of the story's design, and without him, I suppose it would be that much less enjoyable...

    BakaMattSu, truthfully, a bit of a homophobic in real-life...

    Not only less enjoyable

    ((eep sorry! I hit "new topic" instead of reply o_O;;;" Not only would SMJ be less funny without Hana-ko, it would be far less interesting. When I was watching SMJ Again, I would often wait impatiently for him to pop out of the rice bowl/closet/underwear drawer. ^_~

    I agree with you on the points you mentioned above. Hanagata is mistreated because he's forcefully annoying and not because he's gay as far as I'm concerned. What I also find interesting is that Otaru never ultimately kicks him out of his life as a friend, in spite of his many (and often rather inappropriate) advances. It makes me think deep down he really does value Hanagata's company.

    *sniff sniff* kinda brings a tear to your eye, ne ^_^;.

    yeah, comic relief is necessary, and he's funny. But, you don't have to like the comic relief [​IMG] Agreed, he needs to be in the series, but he sure is annoying

    I don't think it's because Otaru hasn't tried to do so, it's just that I don't think the guy'd leave him alone even if he tried to remove him from his life (hmmm... maybe should try that with a fanfic sometime - would Hana take Otaru's rejection..?)

    BakaMattSu, inappropriate? Never!

    *thinks!!, thinks!!!!!!*


    After serious consideration....I can't see Saber Marionette J without Hanagata. His crazy antics are hillarious!!

    It annoys me though when Yumeji steps in and yells "BROTHER!!" when Hanagata gets beaten up....then you feel sorry for the dude.

    Something else that's cool about Hanagata is the amount of HP the guy has!!! It's gotta be like 1000000000 [​IMG] . I mean, probably every day he gets hits by a marionette with a punch that exerts a force of like 1000000 Newtons!! Suggesting that Hanagata has a weight of 60 kg, his acceleration would be 16667 m/s^2!!!!

    "OTARU KUN!!!!!!"

    Well...uh, I think he'd have a low HP... but a high recovery rate...

    Additionally, the marionettes don't hit him with full force...just enough to send him into orbit [​IMG]

    BakaMattSu, if x is y, y is the angle of a marionette's launch coupled with Terra II's escape velocity and z is the equivalent of Hanagata's flight breaking the sound barrier....erm...I've got a headache...

    "How much force should I use?"

    *Sits there laughing her ass off*

    Oi, you guys! Be nice!!

    Hey, you should write math problems about Hanagata's velocity and whether or not he'll collide with an oncoming train and things like that.

    BakaMattSu, wait 'til Zelda, Granny, and Irving get a load of Hanagata....(don't expect to get it - inside joke [​IMG])

    LMAO!!!!!!

    Damn, Granny would just throw away the cat(at 90 degrees...50 metres)...and beat the hell out of Hanagata for fun! And Zelda....errr, she'd probably sit on him(she's a big girl!!).

    Why don't you have a fanfic where Hanagata finds out that he's a pure clone of Faust!!, t'would be cool...they look rather similar too.

    So the real question is:

    "If BloodBerry tosses Hanagata off a 50-foot cliff, at an angle of 35 degrees, and an initial speed of 65 m/s, how far from the cliff will he land..."

    BakaMattSu, showing that Anime is very good at breaking the laws of Physics... so it's not good to think of the subject while watching...

    Intriguing question, Matt. Before I calculate it, may I ask the following points of clarification?

    1. Wind resistence: is it a very blustery day? This may have a minor but no less mathematically important effect on the equation (especially if Bloodberry is throwing Hanagata towards a specific target, say a garbage dump or (if he really angered her) a pirahna-filled river

    2. small low-flying aircraft: is one flying by? Would Hanagata land in some unsuspecting hot air baloon? That may carry him as far away as New Texas?

    3. Torque: I just know it's important.

    4. How much did Hanagata p*ss her off (dude what the ****! I can't say ****ed off here? LOL!)

    5. Are there any pits/chasms nearby and if so, should Hanagata fall into one, do we add the distance he falls into the strata into our answer?

    6. How about the pit his body makes on impact with solid ground?

    there's lots of stuff you can't say, certain harmless websites come to mind..

    All very good points lady aoi, that make it impossible for me to calculate the answer. Too many unknowns [​IMG]

    Sorry Lady Aoi...I was sorta busy yesterday so I couldn't post [​IMG]

    You can solve that problem with the equation using:

    dx = dix + vixt + 1/2at^2

    but first we need to know the time,
    so dy is
    dy = diy + Viyt + 1/2ayt^2
    50 = 0 + 0 + 1/2(9.8)t^2
    50 = 4.9t^2
    10.2 = t^2
    3.19 s = t

    (now that we know the time)
    dx = diy + Viyt +1/2ayt^2
    dx = 0 + 65(3.19) + 1/2(0)x(3.19)^2
    dx = 207.4 m


    Hmm, the angle doesn't matter methinks.


    ----
    Correct me if I'm wrong in my calculation there... gotta get to school.
