    Wouldn't surprise me. Transformer fans are a scary lot. Honestly, I think the original figures were good back in the day, but I want something I can open and mess around with and put in cool poses on a shelf. I just don't think the originals would do it for me anymore. I guess I'm jaded.

    I imagine that'd piss off some collectors.

    Yeah, Funi has their own anime channel.

    Man these look nice: http://www.hasbro.com/gijoe/default.cfm?pa...0940CA8604CEA2F

    Maybe Niki, but only if she had her when she was 13 (Niki is 30 and Claire is 17). If DL was the father, she'd look just a little different...

    What? The show returns and no one apparently watched it? For shame. Awesome episode. It appeared to do a good job of setting the direction for things to come and a lot of great character moments. Oh, and there's this: http://www.primatechpaper.com/

    How do we know that Bandai has exclusive rights to any of those shows? It's not like there hasn't been more than one manufacturer for a series before (Macross, f'rex).

    But those things are really minor points. It's the changes that need to be made in story telling and pacing when changing mediums that are the important parts, and in that, animation and live action have far more in common with each other than either have with manga.

    I think any purist fan of the manga would probably hate all of the anime adaptations, since they all diverge from the manga quite a bit. I agree the first movie wasn't good, but the second was excellent and the TV series have been great as well (haven't seen the follow up film for that, yet), but then I really don't like the manga. While I don't expect as intellectually heavy a script as we've had for the various GitS adaptations so far, I do think that if they don't go for something at least as deep as say Dark City or 12 Monkeys, then the movie will fail (at least for me, anyway).

    Mospeada by about two years. I wouldn't mind seeing this show. Too bad no one's subbing it.
  12. JELEINEN
    That's a rather silly opinion considering that it didn't start out as an anime either.

    It's a change of status. He replaced Saruman as the leader.

    No, Gandalf didn't die. At best, he lost his physical form and had to get a new one. The Valar (basically demi-gods, or more accurately angels) sent him back (they sent him and the other wizards to Middle Earth in the first place). A couple hundred years (Aragorn lives to be 210). Aragorn's ancestor was a guy named Elros, who is Elrond's brother. Elrond chose immortality, while Elros chose to follow after humans (in Tolkien's setting, mortality is a better gift). Arwen does give up her immortality, but how is never really said. It's only happened one other time. In the book, the dead only help Aragorn free Southern Gondor so they in turn can help break the siege of Minas Tirith. The scrubbing bubbles bit was one of Jackson's lamer ideas, and by the movie, you're right that it would have been better to keep them.

    Yep. Speaking of which, Akihabara@Deep is a lot of fun. Definitely recommend checking it out. I found DO Deluxe to be a bit too much. I really could have done without it. The woman playing Hermes is still hot though.

    Multiplayer has to be unlocked? That sucks.

    That would be the Anglo Saxons (English, not British). The Shire is specifically based on Oxford and surrounding area.
  18. JELEINEN
    The Rohan are supposed to be Anglo Saxons with horses.

    While a lot of Japanese studios may farm out the animation to Korea, most of the designs are still by the Japanese artists.

    I've heard rumor that Central Anime will be fansubbing Orguss once they're done with the second season of Yamato.

    Nah, you're all wrong. It's gotta be Gold Lighton. Nothing is cooler than a zippo that turns into a giant robot.
  22. JELEINEN
    I don't recall ever reading that he abandoned the idea that Middle Earth being our world. Honestly though, my post was meant to be read a bit facetiously, because even though Tolkien's world is supposed to be Earth, it's still a work of fantasy fiction.
  23. JELEINEN
    Sorry man, but you should try to find a reviewer that doesn't sound like a complete moron.

    Justin Sevakis pretty much completely panned the film on ANN: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/rob...-chronicles/dvd

    Technically, it is the real world. It's set on Earth, just long before recorded history (similar to what Howard did with his settings).
