I had sex ed classes in 5th grade, 7th grade, and 10th grade, I think
I seem to recall them being fairly comprehensive in terms of anatomy, STIs, and contraceptives, but I don't think they ever really talked very much at all about orientations
2: If the story turns into Jen smooching her way through the entire crew until she builds enough confidence to smooch the final boss, I'm going to be so on board.

I am not an electrical engineer but why on earth would a bike with an electricity-generating fuel cell need an alternator
I mean, it's probably for the same reason a v-twin has six cylinders but what would I know
Because boring old DC current is lame and there's no way* to turn it into AC just on its own, so that entire second engine is there just to run the clock which uses the AC frequency as its base tick…
Oh damn you all. Now I've started to think about why the hell something with a fuel cell (that just outputs electricity) needs a V-anything which is an internal combustion engine thing. ARGH.

Motorcycles are the bane of comic book writers and artists. They're too cool to not use but nobody knows fuck about them and they are a pain to draw

I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.
You know what was a hybrid bike that was well designed in its technobabble? Kaneda's from Akira
It is, in canon, two wheel drive with some kind of ceramic twin motor driving an electrical system that powers each wheel independently. Which is hypothetically doable but still futuristic even 35 years after its design, and leaves some of the specifics to the imagination
Otomo also put a fuckton of design into its suspension and such

Unless you're one of the artists who really really likes them enough to draw them constantly.

Otomo was (is?) really good at drawing mechanical things.

A buddy's dad had this bike for a while when it was new and sold it off way later when he had kids because it's somewhere between useless and dangerous outside the racetrack even by his own standards, which is to say, very much so
Yamaha two-stroke racers are chainsaws from hell and they're so cool
That guy's current bike is the even rarer but slightly less ludicrous Yamaha SRX
interesting contrast there with the characters drawn somewhat stylized, and the bikes looking like very little stylization going on.
That choice took place in a lot of the anime and manga that I first saw translanted and for sale in the US back in the 90s, and it's one of the things that first appealed to me. The contrast of object in the world being given a painstaking amount of detail while the characters were essentially blanks with cool hair somehow hit a sweet spot for me. Anyway now anime is everywhere and I'm sorry, but it was a novelty then OK.

Hence the need for so much electrical work but also a double-tipped exhaust (from two cylinder banks, you see)

and yeah he's still doing design work

I think it's because a bike has enough lines going on that even when it's cartoony in its shading, it's gonna look distinct
MegaTen's demon Hell Biker is a great example of this
And maybe something to help obscure that ugly-ass foot.
wait fuck I have been playing megaten games for ages by now and only just noticed that hell biker has turn signals and a brake light
who tickets the hell biker?
