That NOS Guy

OK, I made that last part about Hudson up, but I'd love to see him come running through the middle of this movie, even if it's a love scene, screaming "GAME OVER MAN, GAME OVER..." just one more time....

Now that I'd pay 7.00 bucks for.

"I'd buy that for a dollar!"

I guess Ladic pities us?

That's not a robot! It's Al from Full Metal Alchemist.

-NOS

I was bitching to a friend about how there's never Al cosplays the other day....

Good flick, definately a hellva lot better then say "Van Helsing" or "Troy", then again the latest Harry Potter installment beat those two.

ROFLMAO

That Naru picture, the eyes! The eyes! They haunt me!

Sweet mother of Christ, I'd pay commision to have a hand drawn picture like that hanging in my room.

Yeah Skull leader, I was playing AC4 yesterday and I believe the mission was "The Siege of Farbanti" which is the second to last one. I'm locked on to a Eurofighter and out of nowhere this missile streak splashes him.

Kinda pissed me off because I had just locked on.

That's cool.

On a different note, aren't they converting to Super Hornets soon?

Some time in 2005, I believe. I think they'll be getting the two-seat /F model.

The indiginity of it all.

I'm surprised nobody put up the man-faye picture yet! but hot damn, didn't think coplay chicks can be so hot! I likes the rinoa!

frakk you man, that's about the last thing I need to see after waking up

I meant the Uraga-class just stuck on the old MAHQ listings.

How come that Asuka II looks like those space carriers from Macross 7. should be a litte closer to the Prometheus since it a carrier in the year 2007. I just don't understand it.

The connection to the Ark Royal-class is obvious if you think about it. It's a stealth carrier, therefore it has all those funky angles and the like. Plus, it's not designed to be a submersible carrier like the Promethus-class.

The Ark Royals and the Asuka II have the same design philosphy and mission in mind so it's not an entire suprise to me.

Question, have you ever been to a con?

Take everyone who goes to say Otakon there and say multiply it by 50 to 100 (these people could not make the convention but are still fans none the less).

It's a record if an album sells 50 million worldwide, and then that's considered ultra-mainstream. I never said anime was quite mainstream, but it's sure as hell grown by leaps and bounds over the past few years alone.

Kisama! What your tongue! : P

Actually..... hmmm, yep, you don't know what the hell you're talking about. hahaha

Gainax's arrangement of the converging energy beam guns and missile launchers are all correct. The design is based on the TV series version of the SDF-1 Macross You, sir, are mistaken ^.^

Did I miss something. Anime is huge in America right now. Huge sections of video stores are devoted to Anime tapes/DVDs, racks of manga in bookstores like Waldenbooks, some top games are based on anime (Yu Gi Oh, Pokemon), the majority of cartoons on the air now are either anime imports or influenced by anime (Powerpuff Girls, Teen Titans). A Waldenbooks near me even has a section of anime merchandise besides DVDs or books. I don't think anime has ever been more popular here.

Oh hells yeah my man, you got it. When 17,000 people attend Otakon, I tend to get a bit "have we gotten closer to mainstream?". I was at Anime North last week, some 4,000+ attended, pretty big for what's now considered a "small" con.

King Nor, it isn't racist, it's just about flavoring. I happen to prefer the rich artistic style of say "Samurai Champloo" or "Do You Remember Love?" which I'm pretty sure have been done by Japanese artists. I think you've somehow crossed "anti-outsourcing" with "racist", you should probably have a working understanding of something before you discuss it ^^

The rest of the episode was finished by the Korean animators....

P.S. Bear cannot drive! How can this be?!

"People never know a tragedy until it happens." -Sarah, Macross Zero

It doesn't matter about race, color, or creed. It's like throwing a steak in front of a vegatarin chef and saying "cook it". Sure he could probably do it, but it'd come out tasting shitty. It's a flavor, it's a culture, and frankly only the Japanese can do it right.

-NOS

Why the hell am I defending the Japanese?

That's pretty sad. A country that has two companies comming out with some impressive pieces of equipment, yet they can't afford any of them.

Just like American public schools are thinking of going to Linux simply because Microsoft is too expensive?

-NOS

Hey, at least there's always Northrup/Grumman

0wn3d

Your all wrong.

Polar bears all the way.

Guess I'll put in my request for 1280x1024 and 1600x1200 too

Make that double.

Also, is it just me or does the bridge seem.....not in the right place?

You have any idea how huge and expensive that would have been?

But it'd be cool!

-NOS

Or at least that was the logic behind the HGUC GP-03D

Hey, at least we're not seeing...

umm....

Alright, so it's bad. I mean "Plan Nine From Outer Space" bad, but at least we can reveal in it's failure that there won't be a third one.

-NOS

And you thought going back to the hood was bad.

*points to the 50+ HG and HGUC 1/144 kits encompassing a hellva lot of the Gundamverse with more then a few examples from SEED*

I think they just get better and better as time moves along.

Anyway, is this going to have subtitles or are they going to shaft us.......again?

-NOS

MAKE THE BAD DUB GO AWAY!

I lost 15 pounds DDRing.

Yes, it's degrading to be owned by a 10 year-old in an arcade.

For some reason the first thing I heard in my head while reading that part was...

PRO-TO-CUL-TURE

Yeah, I had the exact same thought. Though, not really any of this was news outside of the previosuly discussed Yui matter.
