You still can, you have 2 tries left before the game over :p

lol. I actually never really got into that series. Just never grabbed me I guess. I usually avoid alot of mecca animes, mostly stuff like Eva (can't remember how to spell the full name) and Akira. I have to admit, though, Code Geass looks interesting. I'm still debating with myself, though, if I should watch it or not.

The CGI was amazing with the new movie.

Okay, I'll give it a shot. :D

Transforming and morphing are both physical changes (as opposed to chemical), but morphing can involve a change of surface area whereas transforming is purely mechanical.

If I'm right, I have a question for you. :d evil:

What's the difference between transform, transmorph, transfigure, transmute, transpose, transmogrify, and transubstantiate? :d evil:

Transmorph: Change shape (as in shape-shifting).
Transmute : Mutate into something else (as in gold transmutation with alchemy or nuclear physics).
Transpose : I know what it is, bit I'm not sure how to say it. Change context? :confused:

For the remain, I would need a dictionnary :eek:

TRANS- The prefix means "across, beyond, through". Thus, we need only examine the words to which it is prefixed.
  • TRANSPOSE to move from 1 spot to another
  • transfigure to change the figure of a thing
  • transmute "to change or alter in form, appearance, or nature and especially to a higher form"
  • transmogrify to alter grotesquely
  • transubstantiate- to change the substance.
