Absolutely! Yobs, chavs, scallies, neds (my personal fave...Non-Educated Delinquent)...call them what you want, they're still a menace. One of the main reasons why there are so many jobless thugs sponging of the taxpayer and commiting crime is the government's policies so they're hardly the...

Welcome to the forums! Good to see you're a fan of classic rock stuff too...my CD collection is very similar to my dad's these days...

Sexual orientation is not a choice at all...you know why? I've found members of the opposite gender attractive and nothing has ever changed that. Ergo, I'm not straight by choice (even though it might make life simpler otherwise but that's a different story!). Oh yeah, the whole argument...

<img src="http://www.animeuknews.net/img/uploaded/2008-07-02gunbuster-2-cover.jpg"> <b>Review of Gunbuster 2 by Martin</b> After following this series via fansub I was keen to revisit the second Gainax tale of Angsty Girls in Space battling hoardes of invading alien space monsters in order to...

Welcome to another new person! ^_^

A belated welcome! I'm not an expert on shoujo anime (surprisingly, heh!) but Lucky Star turned out to be much more awesome than I expected it to be. It's supposed to be a bit like Azu Manga Daioh but sadly I haven't had chance to see that yet. Hope you have fun around here anyways! ^_^

Loved the first season. Can't wait for the second. Welcome the announcement of the third. That is all. Oh yeah, the fact that a no-nonsense blast of awesomeness that is BL is such a breath of fresh air. The Bebop comparisons are apt up to a point, but BL is so unashamedly...badass. Excellent...

Citizengeek: you've got a (friendly) PM. I second MrChom's suggestion for tea and biscuits. Although I'm more partial to a jaffa cake myself.

Welcome to the forums! It's a long shot but a couple of friends of mine did film studies at Aber. One of them did a Dave Gorman-esque stunt in which he challenged people to message him and invite him to their clubs/social stuff. I'm sure the Aber Anime Soc was one of those...oh well. Welcome...

Sure there are differences but prejudice in EITHER situation is unacceptable in my eyes. I can PM you my thoughts on why Islam in of itself is harmless if that helps clear things up. You seem to be implying that homophobia is unacceptable bu anti-islam is fine, which I'm sure is not what you...

For someone who just recently slagged off an entire religion (which is called bigotry where I come from), you seem to be overreacting to a minor (probably unintentional) slur over sexual orientation. So some homophobic retard riled you up a while back, fair enough. It seems you're taking that...

My thoughts are pretty much that. As was this, in regards to MrChom's link. That certainly explains where I went wrong... :cry:

I can see this getting locked in the interests of, y'know, flaming, pretty sharpish so before that happens I'll say I'm with Sy on this one. This issue is I think as much to do with the idiotic and irresponsible way in which our media reports incident like this. It seems we only need one news...

It's a spiritual successor to Wolf's Rain of sorts - quite film noir in places with a nice sci-fi premise and angsty hero (Re: my current avatar). Yoko Kanno soundtrack too. Apparently the ending was a bit disappointing for some, which is why I'm looking forward to a sequel - that might solve...

From what I've read (avoiding spoilers in the process), DtB's ending was a bit open-ended and 'meh' but given the quality of the episodes I saw, a sequel will probably be very welcome indeed. Trouble is I'm still waiting to finish the first season! It's been so long since the licencing was...

That's a saturday, right? I might actually be able to make it...I'll keep my eyes peeled for updates then. Cheers for the heads-up!

I'm going to make my own take on this into a full article of some sort but you pretty much summed up my thoughts right there. There have always been cranks and ignorant people with no sense of perspective; the problem is, these days our society is foolish enough to listen to them. Common sense...

Is this actually 'Muslims are offended' or merely 'political correctness do-gooders assume that muslims will be offended'? There's a difference there, which is often ignored by the furore that stories like this create. Assuming this isn't a hoax, all I can say to the people in question is...

I'd recommend Monoral, early Diru stuff if you haven't already (i.e. their visual kei pre-Vulgar material, before they discovered nu-metal), High and Mighty Colour and early Mad Capsule Markets (anything before OSC DIS is as rare as hens' teeth over here, so you might have better luck over...

Damn. I was after some cheap furniture. :( Joking aside, things are looking worse for ADV by the week it seems. It's a shame, but I'd put money on them going completely into liquidation by the middle of next year - the current state of the US and European economies will probably be the final...
