Saw a trailer which said they would be repeating the Studio Ghibli season.

Thanks for answering all our questions Chris. Maybe you should pretend to be Dutch, can't be many Japanese who can speak that language at you. ;-)

So is anyone going to watch the schedules and warn us if any anime films are going to be on? Lost In translation is the first film to be shown free. A good film about people in japan, stretched out into a long and rather dull film

Do online renting where they send the DVDs through the post. Amazon and blockbuster do it. Amazon had a much better variety of anime when I last looked but that was a while ago. Either way, they both have a much wider range than any video store I've been to, even in the US. I haven't used...

How do Japanese people do algebra? Do they just use the western symbols or is there a whole set of their own?

The word 'hacker' changed meaning from someone who writes machine code to someone who breaks into computer systems. I bet 'manga' won't last half as long.

It is funny how different history is taught at schools around the world. In the UK we concentrate almost entirely on Hitler's role in WW2, in Japan they hardly say a thing about the atrocities committed during the Japanese invasion of Asia, in China that is all they teach, in the US it is...

Any swaps for anything? I'll even swap all 3 for one DVD if it is a good one. or £10 for all 3, no postage charges.

No, it isn't the HG Wells sci fi book or the series that is based on it. The presenter is a well known historian so it is likely that he wrote a book on which the series is based. This is a documentary series about the 20th century. Quite a lot of it is about the Japanese invasion in the...

Very interesting programme about the wars of the last century without the usual western-centric viewpoint. They pretty much ignored britain joining WW2, but in the grand scheme of things it was rather insignificant. I'd urge anyone who has an interest in history to watch it, much more...

Best episode that Russell T Davis has written so far. Which means that it is the 5 worst episode so far. His episodes are always the worst of both series and yet he seems to be the only one who gets credit for the series. Let's hope he doesn't balls it up in the ending like he always does...

I think it's the shock that it isn't only Japanese people who can make cartoons in that style. It's like berating white people for playing blues music.

I quite liked it. They suddenly stopped showing it on CITV, no mention if the series ended or would be continued, it just wasn't shown again. Any ideas if it will be shown again?

It isn't really that similar when you take into account all the other films which use the same imagery and plot. Demonic writing on the skin isn't even that original. Have you ever considered that Naruto has copied from the same sources? Since Dr Who doesn't do religion, it seems likely to...

Lost is very hit and miss. Bits of the plot don't make sense when viewed in context with other bits, it's like they make it up as they go along. Rent the DVDs rather than waiting around for weeks for the next few episodes.

Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex, 1st gig Volumes 4, 5, and 6. All still in plastic wrappers, haven't been touched. It was a duplicate order. £5 each +£1 postage, or £12 for all three +£1 postage. Swaps for pretty much anything will be considered.

The UK entry was rap - how American can you get?

Until fan-subs are available separately from the video, and it is possible to download the video as soon as it is released in Japan (I'll give it less than 5 years for this to happen) then it will be acceptable to most people to illegally download stuff which is not available in this country...

Was it just me who noticed the female announcer was showing part of her left nipple about halfway through? I've got to get me a pair of those wings!

At least ten of them are self-obsessed narcisists, and proud of it. Funny how they booed "Bonner/Bono" (if she can't tell people her name properly than how are they going to get it right) at the very start. Ugly people who think they are gorgeous are only funny when they realise otherwise...
