For what purpose.

>>1960182
How else will Clarin plug into her waifu?

>>1960182
For the same purpose that she has hair, or the capacity to blush, or the ability to breathe.

>>1960182
Because it's an easy detail to add to make her look slightly more like she would with a human body

>>1960185
She actually needs to breathe because her brain is biological.

>>1960189
Yes, but there would be far more efficient ways for a synthetic body to oxygenate a brain.

File: 00.jpg (464KB, 837x1200px) Image search: [Google]

Does the manga accurately explain what they did to put her in a tin can?
Did they just put the brain in there or upload her personality or something like that?

>>1960193
>>1960189
Welp, nevermind.
I took too long looking for that image.

>>1960191
>Yes, but there would be far more efficient ways for a synthetic body to oxygenate a brain.
It seems to be pretty efficient considering she can hold her breath for around 40 minutes before she starts to feel negative effects.

>>1960200
Breathing through the nose/mouth would require some kind of artificial lung-styled pump and bellows, and a form of circulatory system to transport the oxygen to the brain. It would be far simpler to simply absorb air through the 'skin' of her head, or have some kind of gill-like port on her head or neck, for example.

>>1960205
Gills would be unsightly and make her seem even less human.
Considering this >>1960170, the intention is obviously to make her body seem as human as possible.
Besides, an anaerobic intake will always be less effective overall than an aerobic one. She wouldn't be able to hold her breath for so long like that.

>>1960211
>Gills would be unsightly and make her seem even less human
It could just be something that looks similar to the data ports on the back of her neck.

>She wouldn't be able to hold her breath for so long like that
She only has to provide oxygen for her brain and not the rest of her body, so she needs a fraction of the air a fully biological human would.

>>1960214
Which is exactly why she can hold her breath for so long. She would lose that ability with anaerobic breathing.

>>1960193
I think she was sick or something, her parents looks like froze her until the found a cure. And then she woke up in a robot body, we don't know how many years have pass. We are talking Fallout/Diebuster shit here... That old lady is probably her aunt.

>>1960218
It would be a simple matter to have a tank or bladder that stores a supply of air, fed via the skin/gills/whatever. That would also be an ideal place to filter the air and extract oxygen.

>>1960228
Do keep in mind with this debate that the biggest issues with cyborgs in the setting isn't the effectiveness of their bodies, but rather the difficulty of adapting to them. Removing the need or ability to breathe like they had done their entire life would probably be very disorienting.

Unless the process is explicitly explained later in the manga, oxygen could easily be required for whatever reactions provide her energy.

I didnt understand what you were talking about until I watched the episode. Uzal has definitely already done that.

>>1960297
I don't think it's a 'very low budget adaptation'. Around medium-sized, maybe. It looks spiffy enough to me.

>>1960496
>Eg, yuru yuri is bait because there is no yuri, just implied yuri.

I doubt you ever watched the show or read the manga. The girls openly want to kiss other girls and you call it no yuri?

Bait is when girls are only fake yuri and want the D.

>>1960496
YY is subtext. Hibike is bait.

>>1960496
That's not what it means.

But still it happens here, so stop derailing the thread and wait for more episodes.

I fail to understand how Pandora is bait.

>>1960511
I mean, yuri still happens here.

>>1960496
First, your personal definition is wrong.
Second, just watch the fucking show and see for yourself that it's unquestionably yuri..

>>1960496
You are using the term incorrectly.

Yuri bait is when a viewer is lured in with the promise of yuri (2 girls kiss for experimenting in the first episode) and then it devolves into a hetfest (both girl start lusting after Onii-chanás cock for the rest of the series).

Yuri teasing is the one you are looking for. Much is implied, they never go het, but there's no romantic resolution and/or conclusion, just /u/-friendly interaction (Aya and Youko will never get together, Yui and Kyouko will never start going out, Cocoa and Chino will never enter into a relationship) etc.

>>1960557
I wouldn't dismiss Aya and Youko yet, it's actually pretty likely for them.

Same case for this show.

>>1960557
>Aya and Youko will never get together, Yui and Kyouko will never start going out,

At least wait till the manga is done.

>>1960557
>Yui and Kyouko will never start going out
Of course not, because Kyouko's true love is Ayano.

>people arguing that their personal definition is better than someone else's personal definition

>>1960592
It's the thread with the only yuri show of the season.

>>1960580
Welcome to 4chan

>>1960606
It's not?

>>1960606
They probably didn't think it would be a big seller. Maybe the BDs will have better animation.

>>1960609
It's decent, but not great.

>>1960615
At least it has better writing.

>>1960615
Why would you compare anything to the anime equivalent of a Triple A title? Of course they would look bad compared to it.

>>1960615
Besides it being silly to expect this (a title that has no real prospect of being a hit) to be treated the same as F/Z (expected to be a big hit), I hope you realize that it's a different kind of show and drawing the characters deformed is part of the comedy.

>>1960615
At least it's not generic harem 4625278373

>>1960638
Eh, I'm sure that one's not a harem. Still Nasushit though.

>>1960615
And yet Fate/zero is shit, while Pandora isn't.

Guess the Fate/zero people should have invested in writing over pointlessly wasting money in marginally better looks.

>>1960606
It's like you've never seen a show with actual bad budget before.
Kill Me Baby is a good example of that.

>>1960645
Well, >>1960632 put it best. It's like a AAA game. They always have excellent visuals, but everything else about them ranges from good to garbage.

>>1960647
I liked that show anyways.

>>1960649
Kill Me Baby didn't have jarring quality mistakes or anything like that, but you can tell they make the least effort whenever it's possible.
Like, half the characters don't look at the screen or have their mouths covered when talking. Or they slide into possition instead of walking.
It's still a pretty good show though.

This legit yuri or just undertones and stuff like that?

I hate to ask but I couldn't find anything online about the show

>>1960661
How about reading the fucking thread?

>>1960652
Kill Me Baby didn't have highly detailed character designs or any real action scenes so it wouldn't have benefited as much from a bigger budget as this would.
Rather, Pandora needs a bigger budget. Maybe the BDs will deliver?

>>1960647
Kill Me Baby is also an example where they made the low budget work and add to the charm of the show.

>>1960679
>>1960682
Not a troll, just disagree with the general hivemind. In my opinion, a show that just implies romance/relationships or barely even features them at all simply aren't yuri (or, at least their defining genre isn't yuri)

I guess that's why I always enjoyed yuri Manga better.

>>1960693
This show isn't really yuri.

One girl is literally the slave to another.

>>1960693
Their close relationship and intimacy, and Nene's overtly sexual attraction to Clarion is central to it. It's just, so far, they're a doting cyborg and her loyal robot rather than explicitly lesbian lovers.

(/u/ seems to have increasing numbers people who get hung up on needing things to be the latter before they allow themselves to enjoy stuff, but to me that seems like their loss)

>>1960693
>>1960708
This show is yuri, go away already.

>>1960994
>How much of a "threat", if any, is Bane?

Literally none. Context for that scene:
Clarin is off to fuck the villains off, Nene is sad. She goes and saves a cat, and then has a talk with this guy about what she wants to do.

What she decides on is saving Clarin, because she really likes her, which she states openly
This is then followed up by the scene where she imagines Clarin as the catprince(ss)0


In other words, not even the dumbest ret/a/rd can pretend the big guy is a threat. He's yuri support, there to help Nene come to terms with herself and go save Clarin.

Spoil me, are there also side yuri couples?

>>1962640
Except it's not useless as claimed and tech isn't even the big selling point.
There are still plenty of reasons to learn japanese. It's not the top language, but it's far from useless.

>>1962652
Business Chinese? Mandarin is easier than Japanese. Simplified Chinese is a thing, Onee-sama.

Far from useless, yes. To be fair, I don't know a major business, that isn't tech, based in Japan.

The standard form to write Chinese in mainland China. What of it?

>>1962656
Why are you bringing it up as though it justified the claim Mandarin is easier to learn than Japanese?

>>1962663
Shit happens, Onee-sama. I messed up and didn't add a "too". It was meant as "the writing system is not as complex as you would normally believe". Standard Chinese is, after all, a "official form" of Mandarin that you can write with Simplified Chinese. Granted, I should have used "Standard Chinese" but old habits die hard, and in my city (I would dare to say "my country") both terms are used without any distinction.

Is Japan enjoying this as well?

Because yuri anime aren't even popular in the first place, so they get less fanwork.
Either way, het fanart is generally more popular, regardless of its precedence. One of the most favorited Yuru Yuri images on pixiv features Sakurako giving a rather fierce handy, for example.

>>1963017
No. It just require creating a story with broad appeal, something that lots of people can eat up believing it's good (while not necessarily being true) and reduce romance (that awful audience killer) to a footnote at the end. This would ensure success, but no one here would like it, so it doesn't matter.

>>1963010
How about you check Yuru Yuri doujin on sad panda as a benchmark. Or K-On.

>>1963025
Plenty people love anime with actual yuri in it. The selling point isn't the yuri however and it shouldn't be unless appealing directly to that market.
Murcielago for example, pretty much universally loved and blatantly gay. But the gay isn't the main attraction, kuroko being an alpha is.
That one anime with the guns and lesbians, 100% gay but Noone cares because that's not the selling point.

People are fine with yuri in their anime, it's just not something they look for unless they're /u/. Romance anime always appeals to a specific group of people and usually doesn't sell amazingly well regardless of het.

Nene is wireless charging as opposed to Clarion who requires a cord. Does it mean that Clarion is much older model than Nene?

>>1963010
>Because yuri anime aren't even popular in the first place,

You have absolutely no idea of the gargantuan amount of fanworks some yuri anime have. Your idiocy is almost as huge as the mountains of fanworks for those.

>>1963078
To be fair your statement depends on 2 things, what classifies as yuri, and the fact many of the for yuri are written by the same artists.

>>1963078
You are absolutely right. I meant to say they aren't as popular as your average het work, but yes, they do amass big amounts of fan stuff. I've seen it myself, specially with Yuru Yuri. Still doesn't match the amount of Tifa porn out there, though.

>>1963076
I think they both charge wirelessly from the bed. The anime ED isn't canon.

>>1963076
From the pictures Clarion seems to be much heavier than Nene as well...

>>1963076
Nene's body is first generation, if I remember correctly. It's pretty old, think. Clarion's body is a newer model but she's a combat android so she uses a lot more energy (and is heavier). That's probably whey she requires a cord to recharge.

Maybe the food she eats isn't processed into the energy for her body and her eating ability is only there to emulate the experience of being a human.

>>1963076
Is anyone scanning the translated version?

>>1963110
Just buy it, it's like 10 dollars per volume.

>>1963106
Read the manga, her metabolism isn't that of a human. Foods can only bring enough thermal conductivity to power 50% or her daily needs. That being said she can eat as much she wanted however this is Japanese food we are talking about with shit portions. She needs to recharge, and if she expend more of her energy in battles the more she will need to either recharge or eat. The manga goes into more detail in regards to how she/Clarion works, weapons, tachikomas and hacking lingo. The manga also has more yuri, Marasume Shirow likes his yuri?

No. He likes to draw women, that's the reason why the Major had all those "female friends" that she fucked, but still went around getting boyfriends. If I recall correctly, he stated that he added the "lesbian sex scene" to the GITS manga because he didn't want to draw men's asses or something like that.

All Shirow ever does now is draw porn of women getting fucked by monsters.

>>1964166

Is that Clarion? XD

>>1964166
This is a translation issue. They don't exactly say Clarion is a cyborg. When Nene is surprised at how heavy Clarion is, Uzal tells Nene Clarion is the same as her (in the manga she says Clarion's body is the same as her) and Nene uses the term 全身義体 (zenshin gitai).

義体 (gitai) refers to artificial body parts. It is a term Shirow used as an extension to Japanese words such as 義足 (gisoku) meaning prosthetic legs and 義手 (gishu) meaning prosthetic arms. 全身 (zenshin) means full-body, so "zenshin gitai" means everything outside of the brain shell is artificial. The term "gitai" isn't just used for an artificial body of a cyborg: if you put an AI brain in a "gitai" then you've got an android. So Clarion's body is a "gitai".

>>1964223
>Also Nene is at least 30 something years old, I doubt we will know her true age.
Nene is 16 according to Clarion in v5's Pandoradio.

>>1964259
Makes me curious if this show takes place in the same universe as GITS. The lingo obviously match.

>>1964263
Wasn't there something said in one of the previous threads about how Pandora's world is like the progenitor to the GITS world?

>>1964259
It's not a translation issue. In this setting. a "zenshin gitai" is a cyborg.

I think Uzal was just trying to manipulate Nene, and that's why she never corrected her mistaken assumption.

>>1964259
"Prosthetic" comes from word "prosthesis" which is "an artificial device to replace or augment a missing or impaired part of the body" according to any English dictionary. It's not just an artificial part (or body) but one that is meant to replace a real one.

A 全身義体 is a "full prosthetic" person. That is, a person whose real body was been completely replaced with an artificial one. That's a full cyborg, which is what Nene is.

>if you put an AI brain in a "gitai" then you've got an android.
Yes, but an android is not a 全身義体 because that terms only applies to someone whose real body has been replaced. For an android, a prosthetic body wouldn't really be prosthetic because it's not a replacement for a real body.


Note that Uzal never said that Clarion is a 全身義体. Nene came that conclusion on her own, and Uzal neither confirmed nor denied. My guess is that she didn't correct Nene because she's a manipulating bitch and thought that she could use that to her advantage (and she was right).

>>1964278
>>1964292
義体 is definitely used in this setting for android bodies too. 全身 just means the 義体 is a complete body. With an android that goes without saying.

>>1964293
There's a pretty clear cut explanation of 全身義体 in the very first chapter. An android is an android. A 全身義体 is a human with a replaced body. They're not the same thing.

>>1964297
Are you reading it in translation? The definition given is what I am referring to. It doesn't refer to a human, it refers to the artificial body.

It doesn't say "someone"

The definition trails off, but if the term were supposed to refer to a person it would probably be something like 全身義体者

>>1964312
The point is an android is fully artificial, while a 全身義体 is not.

Nene is 全身義体. Clarion is an android. Nene thought that Clarion was a 全身義体, but she was mistaken.

That's all, now let's move on.

>>1964312
>but if the term were supposed to refer to a person it would probably be something like 全身義体者
A person or animal. Something biological, otherwise the "except braincase" wouldn't make sense.

>>1964316
>>1964318
Specifying 脳殻以外 is necessary for the term 全身義体 to make sense for Nene. It makes sense without implying what's inside has to be organic.

If you think the point is that Nene believes Clarion has a human brain, what did you make of her thinking of Clarion when Uzal asks her what she'd do if she got a lot of money?

>>1964324
Man you're one stubborn anon.

>Specifying 脳殻以外 is necessary for the term 全身義体 to make sense for Nene. It makes sense without implying what's inside has to be organic.
The brain-case itself is organic. And it wouldn't make any sense to have an organic brain-case unless the brain is organic as well.

>If you think the point is that Nene believes Clarion has a human brain, what did you make of her thinking of Clarion when Uzal asks her what she'd do if she got a lot of money?
Nene wants to buy Clarion because she's cute. Whether she's a 全身義体 or an android is besides the point.

>>1964329
>Nene wants to buy Clarion because she's cute. Whether she's a 全身義体 or an android is besides the point.
Not that neesan but yes, I agree.
I wonder how their skin feels though. We already know that Clarion weighs quite a bit.

>>1964329
>The brain-case itself is organic.
脳殻 is Shirow's term for the casing of 電脳

>Nene wants to buy Clarion because she's cute.
Oh come on.

>>1964331
>脳殻 is Shirow's term for the casing of 電脳
You means GITS' term. Also, 電脳 is a cyberbrain. An organic brain that underwent cyberization.

>Oh come on.
It's Nene we're talking about. She's pretty dorky you know?

>>1964334
>You means GITS' term.
Do you think it's being used differently here?

>Also, 電脳 is a cyberbrain. An organic brain that underwent cyberization.
Again you assume too much. It's not just for human brains that have undergone 電脳化.

>>1964339
>Again you assume too much. It's not just for human brains that have undergone 電脳化.
Human or animal. The point is that it has to be organic.

Also, what assumption? The manga is clear that 全身義体 is artificial EXCEPT(以外) for the brain case. That means the brain case is not artificial. That's not an assumption.

And no one would put an AI brain into an organic brain case. That would make no sense.

That's a bit uncalled for.

>>1964341
>Human or animal. The point is that it has to be organic.
Why would you think that was what I meant? I mean it isn't limited to organic.

For example, from the GitS manga:
>つまり
>結論としてこの
>ロボットの電脳には
>ゴースト障壁が
>存在するわけか……

So a robot can have a 電脳

A 脳殻 itself is an artificial casing. The term is also used for the whole unit, which can be removed and swapped between bodies. It makes sense to have inorganic AI brains in the same kind of casing because then they're mutually compatible with the same kinds of bodies.

>>1964389
>A 脳殻 itself is an artificial casing.
Then this is a difference between GITS and this manga, because the page I posted specifically says a 全身義体 is artificial EXCEPT(以外) for the brain case.

And that's all. I'm not going to argue about this anymore when the manga is so clear about it.

>>1964389
>Why would you think that was what I meant? I mean it isn't limited to organic.
電脳化 is the process by with part of a brain is replace by artificial parts. It goes without saying an AI brain can't undergo 電脳化 because it was artificial to begin with.

>So a robot can have a 電脳
I think that piece of text is out of context. A robotic body with a 電脳 inside is a cyborg (全身義体).

>>1964399
You're simply misreading it. What do you even imagine an organic 脳殻 to be?

>>1964404
>It goes without saying an AI brain can't undergo 電脳化 because it was artificial to begin with.
I'm saying 電脳 includes things that are 電脳 when built.

>I think that piece of text is out of context. A robotic body with a 電脳 inside is a cyborg (全身義体).
The context is ch 9. They know it's not an organic brain and they don't use use the term robot for cyborgs.

>>1964435
>You're simply misreading it. What do you even imagine an organic 脳殻 to be?
I'm not imagine anything. It clearly says the 脳殻 of a 全身義体 is NOT artificial. It's in the fucking text in the page I posted, okay?

And really, there is nothing to argue. /m/ itself would have sorted this out long ago.

That's why I called it /a/ here: >>1964356
/a/ has these endless autistic-level discussions all the time.
It's quite painful.

If anyone wants to make a new thread, now is a good time to do so.

Different anon here, but for the record, the grammar of the text in the page being referenced does not state that the brain case is not artificial. It states that everything aside from the brain case IS artificial. This does not exclude the possibility that the brain case or brain inside is artificial as well.
