Hello ! :icon_flower:
i wanted to know why japonese people are so keen on blood type. If you read in every description of a character there is his blood type.
So what's the signification of it ? does anybody know ?
for example i'm O+ does this means something in term of my personality ?
thank you if you know or you are just wondering like me ! :icon_salut:
The blood type theory of personality is a popular belief in Japan that a person's ABO blood type, is predictive of their personality, temperament, and compatibility with others. Like, those with type A blood tend to be reserved, punctual, and law-abiding, while type Os tend to be more outgoing, passionate, and driven; it is for this reason they are often considered "warrior" spirits. Type Bs are said to be loners and self-sufficient, as "hunters," while ABs are said to be serious and solitary by nature.
Waw thank you !
where did you learn that ?
So I'm a "warrior" .....humhum ^^
I don't think it's really my temperament but why not.. maybe i have some unexploited skills !^^
:hello:
seems like we have both the same blood type... heheh...."warriors" huh..... seems like it also suites my temperament.. hehehe :icon_cheers:
i've read it before... but didn't believe it cause all that it says about my blood type is way untrue... im a type O (outgoing, passionate, and driven) and im exactly the opposite of those >_>
well, it doesn't mean that all type O are like that (as well as type A and B).. perhaps it's just a generalized kind of thinking, born out of coincidence or something like it... :blob9:
The japanese match ppl based on blood type, i'm a B
wow thats really interesting, I had no idea blood types were so important to the Japanese =3. I dont know what type I am hmmm.... maybe O
Wow, I had no idea about that blood thing... It's very interesting... I'm a B+... so I'm a loner and I'm self-sufficient... If I read this last year, I'd say that I'm the exact opposite, but apparently it reads into the future (when we mature) 'cause NOW I'm exactly like what it says...
Oh, and I've been meaning to ask this for quite a while but never got around to asking it... What does it mean to have positive or negative blood? Like B+ or B- . Can anyone tell me?
And I've forgotten... which blood is the one where you can receive all blood but not give, and which is the one where you can give to all blood but not receive? I remember that there was one each, but can't quite remember what blood...
Has anyone seen Blood+(anime) ?
Hello !
so + or - is a "resus" (I think it's that in english...). But I can't really explain it in english.
When you can give it to everybody you are O- (you can only receive blood O- it means that you don't have any resus or particularity on your "globules" (in french))
and when you can have all sort of blood you are AB+.
In fact the order to receive blood is: AB+, AB-, B+=A+ , B-=A- , O+ , O-
Have you understood ?
Tell me if I'm wrong !
What's the anime Blood+ (summary ?) ?
Hello,
what you said was right Marma. Bloods have different types according to the presence or absence of certain antigenic substances in the red blood cells of the blood. Example, if you have the A antigen, then you are type A, B if ypu have the B antigen, AB if you both have the A and B antigen and O if you have no antigen. There are actually two blood group systems, which are ABO blood group system and the Rhesus blood group system. ABO is the most common system, but if the blood contains what is called the RhD antigen (Rhesus factor or Rhesus D antigen), the Rhesus blood group system is already involved and that is already where they apply the terminologies of A positive, B negative and so on.
About Blood +...hmmm... well, if you have already previewsly watched Blood: the Last Vampire, it would be easier for you to understand the plot of this sequel. But then let's just say that Blood the Last Vampire was set in the timeline of before the Vietnam war. in reference to that, Blood+ was set after the vietnam war after the protagonist, Saya, hibernated. So basically, Blood+ is set decades after the events of Blood: The Last Vampire. Under the care of her adoptive family, Saya Otonashi has been living the life of an anemic and amnesiac, but otherwise ordinary schoolgirl. Saya?s happy life is shattered when she is attacked by a chiroptera, and learns that she is the only one who can defeat them. Armed with her sword, Saya embarks on a journey with her family, allies and faithful servant, Haji, to rid the world of Chiroptera and rediscover her identity.
(summary from wikipedia)
PS: this anime's got more twists than you might have initially thought. It's good, and the opening song, Aozora no Namida is just so cool!!! I loved it!!!
.....i'm an O (dunno if + or -)
i can donate blood to anyone ^^
Wow! This is the first time I've ever seen so many O blood types together in my life! I'm so excited!
I'm O-, or -O, wherever you put that thing, and so yeah, I'm excited to see so many >.<
Nuh uh. O-? Lucky, you've got the awesome blood type. O- is the universal blood type and that's the type they keep at the hospitals for refills until they can get the right types.
.....so O+ or +O isn't a universal blood type?
LOL if you're short on money you can just donate blood to the hospitals
nyahahaha >_<
Hehe I know, my blood has always been my back up plan if I ever come short on money.
Yupp, it rocks to be the Universal Donor. My only problem with it is, as you can see from above, I don't know too many people with my blood type, so if I ever needed blood x.x. Although I have a lot of siblings so, I get to sleep at night >.<
Wouldn't it work the same as if you were recieving blood? Is it not a universal acceptor?
no, its not...
O can donate to any blood types but can accept O only...
while AB can accept any blood type but can donate AB only....
LOL its exactly the opposite.... :blob9:
So, a random informations for you (the fugures are correct for France, it should differ for other countries).
O is the most common blood type (up to 60-70% of the total population), then A, B and AB. A and B are dominant on O. (O correspond to the absence of antigenes.... so it is logic). Also + or - rhesus also correspond to the presence (+) or absence (-) of an antigen system, so + is dominant on -. The problem during a transfusion is that if a different antigen than your own is detected by your immune system, a immune reaction will takes place (as when you are transplanted with an organ that do not match your antigenes types, except that they are a lot more antigene type for organs, so more difficult to find a compatible donor). And you could die of this reaction. That is why O- (no antigene) are universal donor, but at the same time, they can not receive other type of blood, for it would introcude antigenes that will be recognized as alien... AB+ people have all three type of antiben so they can could receive the blood of any type (in theory)... but cannot give safely blood except to other AB+ people....
In reality there are other factors to take into account when transfusing someone (presence of virus or other things like that), and that is why, (in France at least), blood donor have to match a whole lot of conditions, and then the blood sample must be checked....
Also when giving birth to a baby, a wowan and the baby blood can come into contact by the umbilical cord (accident, or if it is cut too late), and this mix can be dangerous because of the immune reaction... in fcat it is quite a bit more complicated than that but i will leave it at that except if you want the details...
(I am a biology student, you know... but perhaps you are not as fond of these kind of thing as i am)
In France, you can not sell your blood, you have to give it freely and we are always in a shortage....
The problem is, due to shortage, the saple taken from donor have already increased, and as it is now, as I am, i could not give my blood without needing some days, i would say a week, to recover (i am a low-blood pressure person, for other people, it is all right, they can recover in a day...).
I hope that these informations were interesting to you....
I would also like to know when and from what legend emerged this story of character and compatibility based on blood type....i find this mysterious... since the blood type were discvered and explained in a recent past, i am surprised that this kind of legend could arise
It's no more legend than it is just simply a horoscope. A common horoscope out in the far east. It's just as the zodiac, people there are superstitious and the color red (blood) is a very important color. It's a lucky color and means life. So, I suppose somewhere along the lines some bored magazine writer came up with it. So, the usual pick-up lines over there tend to fall along the lines of "What's your blood type?" Mangaka artists often take these blood type characteristics and put them in their characters that's why you see each character's blood type in their bios.
I'm taiwanese, and the whole chinese zodiac and the date of birth is taken seriously. Once a year after the new year I have to have my fortune told for the year. This year, attending funerals is major bad luck. for my dad, well if I was born a boy then he'd have a serious illness that'll actually kill him. So, for him all he has is just a lot of bad luck. Names also mean a lot in a person apparently and so does the actual date of birth. I'm not to sure on the details, but that's alright. It's really fun knowing that on the old Chinese calenders I'm actually 19 when I'm still 17!
Though, I will tell you that whole blood-transfusion is confusing. I'm not a bio student, but that sounds ultra complicated. I can't donate because I'm anemic and I also have low-blood pressure, plus my weight borderline on the mininum... but this does sound really interesting.
wow... thats interesting... I didnt know that... heehee... I have always thought why are they so crazy about blood types? thank you for the explanation...
I'm an O but I dont know if I am a + or a - heehee.. either way they predicted my personality right...
but hey... AB blood types are so rare :icon_thumright: well i forgot why... i learnt it in biology
