Oh, you mean the same one who wouldn't deal with her autistc/insane daughter? That hot 40 year old?fabricatedlunatic said:I didn't know Hironori Tanaka but there definitely is some great animation in Denpa Onna.daichi383 said:
No interest, though? How can anyone have no interest in this? (Hottest 40 year-old in anime on the right, fyi.)
Oh yeah, cuz if I find nothing else gets me rock hard it's people shirking their moral duties to the suffering of others :/

Despite it being played for comedy, that's not so much an issue with her as with Japanese society in general - mental illnesses are often not discussed, if not outright hidden by the families.
Plus, performing armchair diagnoses on fictional characters is a futile pursuit uguu.

In the words of Zoidberg-jesus; I help those who help themselves!
I don't tend to be attracted to 12 year olds no matter what age the writers say they are lol. Seriously though its just not my thing, I tend to watch shows with either a lot of adventuring and fighting going on like Hunter X Hunter or just straight up Cyberpunk/Procedural type shows like Stand Alone Complex. I'm a fan of the medium of animation as a whole first and an otaku second so i don't watch the shows like Denpa Onna.fabricatedlunatic said:I didn't know Hironori Tanaka but there definitely is some great animation in Denpa Onna.daichi383 said:

This Avril whatever doing covers for one piece movie Z themes is so daft. I guess Oda must really like Ms Lagvine to go to such lengths and i guess its like how anime fans like tend to like Japanese music cause its Japanese. I works both ways but they could have gotten like Foo Fighters or Muse or something. I didn't even know she still sang

My Japanese nieces had no idea who Muse or Foo Fighters were when I introduced the bands to them last year. Avril Lavigne is big in Japan, she and Lady Gaga tour Japan every year - and my nieces actually been to Avril's gig there. So for the Japanese it is a big thing to get her to sing the songs for One Piece. And it may be a good thing for her as well, as it will introduce her to a lot of 8 to 12 year olds who missed the period she was most popular.daichi383 said:This Avril whatever doing covers for one piece movie Z themes is so daft.

Also, in general foreign music is not popular in Japan, the same way that music not in English is not popular in the UK (with the odd exceptions here and there.....)

Ooh i didnt know that she was popular there. I guess if they really want to hear her cover Nickelback i shouldn't be winging about it :wink: The japanese really need to be introduced to Foo Fighters and Muse though
Plenty of music fans in Japan listen to Muse (they're playing in Saitama Super Arena if a quick Google search is to be believed, and having been there I can confirm that it's a rather vast venue). They don't tend to burn up the Oricon charts on the level of heavily marketed local acts, though, and it's possible - however unlikely - that Muse did not bother writing the mangaka a series of fan letters the way Avril reportedly did. If they had, perhaps they'd be reaping the rewards now. Shame on them for not worshipping One Piece as they should!
Personally, I don't care for Muse or the Foo Fighters. Or Avril. I'm sure I'll have completely forgotten this news story when Funimation finally get around to releasing the film in 2028.

Linking to tweets on my iPad is a pain in the ass, but MangaUK have tweeted about the possibility of a Madoka Magica movie trilogy back-to-back screening when the last film is available.
With Muse, my brother lives down the road from where they rehearse =3.

I like how, as always, most of the characters in each list are regularly voted as the best characters (by their own gender) too. Ignoring the obviously stupid ones like main characters in super popular series, there are a few odd entries. Why is Sougo so disliked in Gintama (and similarly, Tsukuyo)? I wouldn't have guessed either would have ranked highest for their series in such a poll ^^;
The ones which are obviously motivated by jealousy are the funniest.
