and apparently the roof was closed... I don't think proper security measures were taken because it was just too >sudden but people in the first floor managed to use the fire alarm.

Yeah, I've just read this, roof was closed so that you CAN'T open it from inside the building... That is really stupid in terms of fire security. Dunno how this is ok according to the Japanese police.

No, the door to the roof was not locked and firemen can open it when they tried enter the building from the roof.

Given that there were explosions, it may lead pressure differences that make door hard to open. Also, the vicitms may have succumbed to the toxic gas and smoke when they were trying to escape via the stairway leading to the roof.

I do not get it. It was just 3 storey building, really small too, why do not everyone jump out of the window? Broken legs are better than death, I guess. Number of deaths is like from some US shooting. Why? Again, it is not some WTC where you are blocked in trap and can't escape without suicide jump.

There were 2 explosions so the fire spread quickly, probably some people died right there or were left unconscious or confused, then you have the panic, the smoke, heat that makes visibility almost null and apparently the roof was closed... I don't think proper security measures were taken because it was just too sudden but people in the first floor managed to use the fire alarm.

I will wait for the police report and the fire department statement about how it happened.

Sentai filmworks is raising funds for the victims https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-kyoani-heal

The latest press release from thd Fire and Disaster Management Agency (Japanese only) confirmed that the subject building was found to be in compliance with fire code as applicable to a building of such size and no. of occupants.

We need AlphaGo yuri!

The arguments this story spawned make me weep for humanity.

Jesus Christ, people.

One may say that's what the author hoping for. That's why he/she produce a story using the idea of 'Schrodinger's cat' to trigger arguments.

Raining in the Garden of Glass?

Big Boss has fought Vocaloids, he can handle this.

What?!

If humanity's pride is at stake, then she should make love to the android, to prove how much better humans are at doing it.

You win the internet.

I thought Maki is going to buy tickets from Virgin Galactic...

@SmolBoiYazawa

Perhaps this picture is set in that universe?

Gay plants. Truly the pinnacle of yuri.

Wait didn't we reach the pinnacle with phone charger yuri?

A link, please.

Star Wars reference...

How the hell did she remove her panties without removing the tights??? And don't tell me it was done in between "cuts", Maki sure as hell didn't have that much patience...

Reminds me of Grandpa Simpson...

Simple, a true gourmet of tights like Maki would remove the tights and panties first, and then let Nico to wear tights again, so that there is nothing between the Nico's goodies and Maki's mouth but the beautiful tights.

The shipping wars are pointless, but in the case of NicoMaki it was a very popular ship with fans in Japan even before there was an anime and not much of a manga. It has continued to be popular. Some things are popular because they are popular and because the creators pay attention to what the fans want. The same applies to NozoEri. And the three subunits.

There is a lot of official promotion of this ship too, like Zurui yo magnetic today and some of the pvs.

Nico is just mad at her lovers forget to play with her too.

I need a followup chapter to this.

One with 'Lots of Sex' and 'polyamory' tags?

It's not going to be this lewd every time.

Sure Mira. Suuure.

It's just Mira has a different undetstanding of 'lewd'.

I've never seen SAO personally, but I've always heard people either say it's awful or amazing. I guess it's sort of a love it or hate it type thing, then. It being a harem series certainly doesn't help, of course.

SAO is a good series riddled with major plot holes and other issues. Those who like it either somehow miss these issues or consciously overlook them because there are good points. Those who hate it have either jumped on the hate bandwagon without really knowing why, simply cannot excuse the issues which are admittedly horrendous even though I enjoyed the series for what it was, or simply don't like it.

People diss SAO simply because the protagonist is practically an overpowered Gary Sue who gets all the girls without even trying.

I completely understand that everyone has their own opinion and some people may not like the story; what I don't understand is the hate wagon and how people blatantly hate it for no reason.

I admit it has its flaws, but personally like the series, especially the light novels, which are translated extremely well and help fill in some of the gaps.

As for Kirito, it is annoying that all off the girls are all over him. However, Kirito is generally a good guy with an interesting personality, and he tries to help the girls. That is why they like him. In my opinion, it is better than the harem anime where the guy has no personality and is completely brainless. THAT makes my skin crawl.

Also, it is quite clear that Kirito is faithful to Asuna and is not interested in harem.

If people read the light novel instead of just watching the anime, people would find better character development and less plot holes.

Turns out Riko has been a YouChika fan this whole entire time

She's probably fan of all the Muse and Aqours ships and knew all about the doujins and fanfics, including the R18s, threesomes and harems.

I knew Riko was a Dynasty Reader.

Well, it is canon that Riko is a doujin reader...

Why there is a Maki cardboard cutout in Nozomi's house?!

Because they want to use the main camera?

Yes! I have suggested them to Dynasty, but only the KotoUmiHono one is posted here.

And I hope the other pics would be posted here soon.

This is actually a series of pics that cover all the usual LL ships. One can find it on danbooru by searching for the author.

The Muse nine are so intershippable, it should be named as the first OT9 in doujin history
