  1. It is worth it. It is one of the longest running animes and it actually has a plot... a very slow moving general plot but so chuck full of little plots and mini plots and individual plots that you are alwyas finding something new about the One Piece world or about a character in particular, The themes are fun and friendship and that’s what you will always find. There are moments were you will laugh your ass off. But there are some very VERY serious moments here and there so don't take it as an easy. I once read a line that described the series something like this: One Piece is a series that gets you so involved that you find yourself crying for the fate of a ship. If you like DBZ, you will like the battles. And they keep getting better and better. Right now the power levels of the Straw Hats and their rivals is crazy but nobody is ever invincible. Do skip the filler episode arc except for the "G-8 Arc". You could also read the manga if you want to go faster. Sometimes they drag certain scenes and fights in the animation.
  2. The first two episodes were good but I was more interested in Tenzin’s story than in Korra’s. I felt like her character went back to her more snotty stage just to provide conflict. Maybe they wrote themselves into a corner after the ending of the last season seeing as a second season was not set in stone. She seemed more relaxed in the Avatar position there. But now episode three comes along and WOW!! The comedy was great. The creepy twins just can’t stop pulling laughs. The brotherly advice Mako gives Bolin lol.
  3. It is the high budged version of Apollo 18, which was a low budget version of Alien anyways. BUT I'm a sucker for movies with few characters stuck in the middle of nowhere.
  4. "Early Bird" for the important piece of a project that has been miss informing fans for months about pricing? Dumb thing has taken so long that it looks outdated now with it's hollow elbows and cars just stuck in front of the legs.
  5. Great to see this thread. Awesome manga and awesome fight animations for the anime. When i started reading the manga long ago I never imagined that an anime version would be such a huge success. BTW, if anybody missed the preorder for the Mikasa figma, here is a place tha is still taking orders: http://goodsmile-global.ecq.sc/maxfigwd00203.html
  6. This trailer was done by people who want the public to hate Michael Keaton... Really Keaton, why the frakk did you have the silver suit changed to black??? He looked 200% cooler. I hate you now.
  7. Without the need of any dialog those characters stood out a lot. They where visually so badass that I fully believe that is what happens to them .
  8. How many of the Dinobots will be comic relief? One? Two? All? Bay has to have those. You mean like the other regular non foreign locations it already has?
  9. Finally more pics of the Kshatriya. Don't know if that is a resin proto, but all the wings are on stands.
  10. Now that is a cool custom blow job.
  11. Don't say it out loud! Kawamori might hear you and order to have it screwed up like he did with the Roy scheme canopy.
  12. Fully agree with this video (and very interesting view starting in the 5 minute count): http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/the-big-picture/7987-Batfleck
  13. Damn, the pilot of that suit is my most hated anime character ever but that bot does look awesome... And more wow: http://tamashii.jp/special/metalbuild/destiny/
  14. You also have a kit version for 37,700 yen: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-001884 So detailed that you can even see Simon and Kamina: http://studio-halfeye.com/works/gurrenlagann/grlg.html
  15. LOL, do bad mouthed bikers look like that today? Damn, that metrosexual emo thing is invading every corner! If they wanted to make the character more serious, the “unused” designs looked a lot better.
  16. Lovely! Thanks for posting the gifts!
  17. The more I look at it the more I think that Colossus isn't so far behind. Warbotron has lots of partsforming, just like FP old Bruticus. The thing they do with the combiner upper legs and waist is the same UT does with their Predaking. Yeah, all parts go into making other stuff like the FP. IMO the price for this cool guy should not be more than the FR price.
  18. Well this sucks. I really didn't want to have to deal with problems with the cables. The rest I can manage but lights I have zero experience.
  19. Without those leg-extenders Herc is almost two heads shorter than that Bruticus... these people are making a really big guy. One thing that beats ALL of TFC combiners: this Bruticus has wider hips. TFC's combiners have tiny hips that screw up proportions because they really are the hips of a normal robot, even if you put big skirts on them. Maketoys gave their Longhaul huge hips in order to give Giant good proportions. This Bruticus has dedicated parts that make them up so as to not sacrifice Onslaught. Nice!
  20. And this is how you make an entrance: full reveal baby!! http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/3rd-party-unlicensed-41/new-third-party-bruticus-in-the-works-178223/ This guys need to do a Superion too.
  21. Second? Da'frakk Japan?! I thought you were not into the zombie thing, at least that was what I read as one of the reasons the Highschool of the Dead manga got canned. Here in Spain, were Mazinger Z has been part of mainstream pop culture since the 70's, it only made third place after Pitt's week old zombie roadtrip and Bruce Willis and his phoned in spy flick... word of mouth better bring more people in this weekend. Hope Italy and France, who have a bigger super robot tradition, bring more to the European ticked sales.
  22. He killed her in X3 after she came back to life as Phoenix. Here is the scene from X3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBsGzcsFOMo
