so I just had a strange realization, while mulling over Autobot society and trying to wrap my head around the way OP thinks about the world. This mostly pertains to Animooted, but from what I can tell, G1, Beast Wars and Bayformers are all similar

Hm.

Maybe I should've finished the job when I shot you down, Autobot.

...that Kazuki Takahashi actually thought about little details? Like... Yuugi and Dark Yuugi are spatial learners, if you pay attention to how they learn games or navigate Domino in Battle City. Uh, Dark Yuugi remembered the directions to a store he only visited once two days prior, and Yuugi only really got how to play Dice, Dungeons and Dragons by actually experiencing it.

[androllout]

That's really cool!

[xepitaph]

Yeah! I wasn't the one who found that out squidgy did, but going through it was ... kind of neat. Because Anzu put in the same situation as Dark Yuugi, only recognized the immediate area closest to the store.

...then there's the whole thing with the Egyptian terminology like Diaha actually meaning duel.

There's also the whole Decepticons designed for war/conquest thing, and Autobots designed to be laborers.

IDK HOW THAT FITS IN but yes.

In Red Dwarf? The currency is often referred to as a dollarpound and the pennycent. Which tells me that the American and British governments, or at the very least their financial systems, were merged at some point.

Also, the military organization is called the Jupiter Mining Corporation. Which means that, one, everybody's out trying to mine the solar system for minerals (which is touched on briefly in the books), and two, it's more like the Merchant Marines than the Navy or NASA.

I babbled about this sort of thing AGES ago on my fic journal here. Because I'm a gigantic nerdling.

Lets not forget the sudden surprise!PRISON that turned out to be aboard the Dwarf in season eight, completely hidden from the bulk of the crew >_>

Not what you'd expect onboard a mining vessel XD

I KNOW RIGHT?

What the fuck, Series VIII? WHAT THE FUCK.

I explain that away by saying that it was a sort-of experiment gone horribly wrong. As in they'd built this enormous flagship, realized they weren't hardly using it, and leased out the space to the prison system to get some cash flow. Or something. IDK, Naylor was smoking the bad crack for all of VII and VIII.

/nods, that's as good an explanation as any for anything in the Dwarf-verse (WE LOVE CONTINUITY YAY!) >_>

He waaas. Not even gonna mention Back to Earth, I did not like that very much. It's like they changed everything that made the show great and... while its still good... yeah XD;

I did an essay on a french comic book called 'Candélabres', and it turned out that practically everything that happened to the main character could be explained by psychosomatic... shenanigans. I kept having a 'I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE' reaction.
