Yeah, when my friends showed me pictures of Lucky Star and told me the alleged age of the characters, I laughed.

Rule of Animu (and jRPG, especially Final Fantasy): Characters must be 17 years old, no matter whether they look like they're in elementary school or a veteran of several wars.

That's not true.  I thought almost everyone in Bleach was 15...

Well in the opposite sense of logic, there are anime shows that have characters that look older supposedly being 14,15,16...

Thats not true because then you have the Pokemon series where everyone is 10-12 no matter how well endowed or like they are.

thats extrange, I thought Japan didn't mind stating the real age of these girls as opposed to the west, like Ashley from RE4, wasn't she really 15 in the original japanese version?

Age isnt what gets to me that bad with animes.  What I have problems with is the androdgenous qualities of some of the characters.  I hate having to find an anime freak just so I can know if its ok have dirty thoughts.

Here's an age question that may be answerable: How old is Alyx Vance?



We know she's at least twenty, as Eli says that a picture of his family and Alyx herself were all he could carry out of Black Mesa, and that was right before the Seven Hour War, approximately twenty years before the events of Half-Life 2. However, that doesn't give specifics. I'm guessing she's around 25. That would put her at age five during the Black Mesa incident.

Any opinions?

It also could've been hella longer. Definitely lef tme wanting for more. Used their source material pretty well. I could tell it was Iselia instantaneously. I was actually mad at myself when I knew that exact spot the school was at and was wondering where the save spot was ;x I can't wait for the next one to see how well it develops in comparison to the game.

They skipped the human farm in Iselia completely and made Lloyd's exsphere into a Deus Ex Machina. Considering they only allocated four eps to the series they probably had to skip details like the farms, after all they got to rush Colette through one world (including the hints towards the "tragedy" at the end), go to the other, get all the spirits, encounter Mithos, unveil his evil plan and then stop it. I think a previous Tales TV adaption had 13 eps, perhaps Symphonia got shafted as it's not a PS exclusive :P.

Tales of Eternia...But Tales of Phantasia also got gypped with a 4-episode OVA series... =\

(I did like the episode, but yeah, taking out the farm bit sort of lessened the impact of Lloyd and Genis leaving quite a bit...)

But...



Kyaaaaa!

I thought the episode was quite boring, I had to skip through parts otherwise I almost fell asleep watching it.

yeah, Kratos entrance was pretty cool, but ruined by Lloyd's SSJ transformation ExSphere activation later... (it would've been better if it were the other way around...)

I'm kinda worried, actually, because there are going to be just 4 OVAs, and this one covered like, the first game hour :/ ... and without the Human Ranch section...
