    Millenium Actress is probably my favourite Satoshi Kon film. I'd be inclined to say it's more artistic than his other works, but I'd have a hard time either proving or expanding upon that - it was just the impression I got. Gunslinger Girl is a series that tends to divide people a bit - it's...

    Japan banning isps of file sharers!? No more RAWs!?

    No, sales are only actually lost if watching a fansub means that someone won't go out and buy the DVD when they would have done otherwise. If someone watches a fansub and wouldn't pay and cash for it in any case there's zero impact. And of course there's no way to know what proportion of fansubs...

    the concept of British Dubs. Poll.

    While I listen to dubs now and then, and would probably prefer a british dub to a US one, the fact that I'm usually happy enough with just subs means I went for the first option.

    Noein - Explanation Needed (Minor Spoilers)

    No, not quite. Saying that anything can act as a particle or wave isn't wrong, but there's a lot more to quantum physics than that.

    Noein - Explanation Needed (Minor Spoilers)

    Well... 1 and 3 I'd have to finish watching Noein to answer... as at the moment my answers would be "it wouldn't" and "it's not" respectively... 2 however, is your fairly standard Heisenberg uncertainty principle at work, that most people are familiar with in the form of Schrodingers Cat...

    Noein - Explanation Needed (Minor Spoilers)

    Um... not quite. See, there's 2 "types" of physics, say - classical and quantum. Classical is Newtonian type physics (apples, etc). Quantum is dealing with the same kinda stuff, except really really small. Turns out you need some different formulas to get accurate results at the quantum...

    Bandai license two series & launch controversial rel. sched.

    In the words of Captain Tagon - "But that's what cake is for!" :wink: Well, like Gawyn said, it's the standard for Japanese releases. Bandai are just trying to cut down on release times (which is something people generally want to improve, certainly), but because of their fear of reverse...

    Can anyone tell me what this anime is?

    Yeah, there's quite a few series that fulfil the first criteria, they're fairly cliche... but a train full of bad guys is kinda unusual...

    Need to free up HDD space - What to watch first?

    I didn't mention the series when I hadn't seen any and/or didn't have anything useful to add. Lol, well now you know, anyway. If you just want one vote, mine goes to Noein. As melonpan said, it's awesome from the get-go.

    Need to free up HDD space - What to watch first?

    Peacemaker - Watched 1-12 - I recommend deleting the rest without watching it... Requiem from the Darkness - Good horror series, unique artwork, little to no overarching plot. Noein - Is there actually anyone who doesn't like this show? GitS: 1st and 2nd Gig (watched around half of the...

    What is lolicon?

    Mmm, I guessed you didn't mean it like that, but I sorta figured that your statement needed that kinda reply to it in any case. Heh. Suuure nobody knew where it came from :roll: . Although I can understand no-one willing to admit they did, at least.

    What is lolicon?

    As if things weren't complicated enough ^^ Anyway, the definition of moe you used is perfectly accurate as far as I know. WRT Lucky Star - image, actions and history that are often stereotypically used as moe traits are all present in the the show, so it qualifies in that sense. Part of the...

    What is lolicon?

    If you're going to state that people are sick just because they don't stick to the generally socially accepted mean of sexual attraction, you may be setting yourself up for more trouble than you realise. I don't think this has anything to do with moe.

    The "Sound" of Anime

    Hmm, honestly I don't generally notice the bgm used in anime - not that I think it doesn't add anything, just that I'm not generally aware of it. I can think of a few - Kare Kano, Paprika, Kanon II - where I actually noticed the bgm being used and thought it worked really well. And the scene...

    What is lolicon?

    Hmm, you seem to have misunderstood, let me try to explain. Lolicon refers to both a specific anime/manga sub-genre (sexual attraction to underaged/underdeveloped girls) and it's fans. Stuff like Naruto, Shana, Bleach are definitely not lolicon anime. Sure, they have characters in them with...

    Soul Eater

    I disagree. Lots of the stuff they've done has been good, but far from all of it. I'll certainly check it out though.

    Claymore

    It's easier to get funding for (and presumably easier to get cash back from) a series which is made while the manga is still running and there's plenty of visible, active interest in it. Once a manga is finished, not only does some interest die away, but it's harder to judge what interest still...

    Gunslinger Girl Season 2 Announced
