  1. Crap your right JELEINEN! I forgot about that. Maybe she's an exception to the rule cause I really like what they did with her dubbed voice. Good call
  2. Damn Iowa'ns...always causing trouble for us Minnesotans. Seriously, I watch more dubs than subs since my Wife and I already read too much at work. I wish my eyes could take watching subs more but it gives me a headache sometimes and I also feel that I'm missing the finer points of the animes art. I actually Liked Koala Su in Love Hina...I didn't like the one with short hair that spent all her money on booze. As far as accents around the country the worst for me are Philly (I feel like people are trying to pick a fight with me) Missouri/Arkansas makes my ears bleed North Dokota cause people from Phoenix equate Minnesota with Fargo which used a ND accent, Here's my rundown. Best use of accent 1. Hellsing (great british) 2. Love Hina's Koala Su (can't really place it geographically but I liked it) 3. Bubblegun crisis 2040 (southern but not over the top) 4. Azumanga Diaoh's Osaka (perfect accent for the spaced out kid) Worst use of accent 1. Witch hunter robin (horrible british) 2. Love Hina's Kitsune (god its horrible) 3. Someday's dreamers (when she talks on the phone with her mom and reverts to her southern accent 4. Noir (poor accents everywhere) Also I do watch a ton of anime and can actually pick out a Japanese country/ southern accent as was in Love hina and some of the Ghibli films.
  3. Anybody notice that whenever a character is supposed to be from a rural part of Japan that ADV,Funimation, Manga, Pioneer, you name them...always pick a voice actor/actress with the most annoying southern accent they can find. Stuff like Love Hina, Somedays dreamers, the accents are awful. Why couldn't they be a little more subtle and have a midwest accent or something. Instead they use somebody sounding like big tom from survivor. Most of the time I can deal with it but lately I hear this southern accent and just want to immediately change the audio track to japanese and turn on the subtitles. Southern accents should be banned from anime!
  4. At least its recoverible. Be thankful your hard drive did crash and get ruined. I lost a 120 gig HD that had 105 gig's of anime and games on it. Lost it all. Decided to buy a DVD burner after that.
  5. I heard that they delayed the release so they could finish the 1/48 GBP armor that will be released exactly 3 months after the 1/60 GBP so they can make us all look like fools for buying the crappy 1/60 when they know we all would rather have the 1/48. Didn't you know they hired Dr. EVIL. HOOOHAAA HOOHAAA HOOHAAA
  6. 1. 2nd death star 2. Dyrl final battle 3. SDF-1 final battle 4. Outlaw star (pick any they all rock) 5. Any Crest of stars/battle of stars battles 6. Starship troopers infiltration of bug planet battle 7. Last exile dragon's tooth battle 8. Gundam 0083 planet drop 9. Char's counterattack final battle 10. Macross 7 fleet of strongest women final battle 11. 8th MS team first battle in the Ball I can't believe that I'm the first to name outlaw star.
  7. Funamation sucks! I hate how they change so much and only put a couple of eps per disk. Give me a company that puts 5-6 on a disk anyday. I hate string a series along.
  8. We used to take a 20oz hammer to our matchbox cars and then use little bits of scotch tape to tape the mangled parts together. They we'd shoot them out of those matchbox car launchers and have a demo derby. Can't say that loosing the cars was a big deal but man your fingers took a beating smashing them up with that big hammer.
  9. I used win rar to rar them. The highest res one's are the Orange hair one's of pillaged of this sites artwork page.
  10. Apple 4 sorry about all the files but the 1000k limit made it a necessity Apple_4.rar
  11. Ah crap! bangs head on desk since he forgot the file.
  12. Attached to this post and my next 3 are 4 rar files full of sharon pics I scoured from the web. Some are better than others. The nice thing about sharon is that she's kinda see through and low resolution anyway so we can use lower grade pics I think. Or we could recolor them. Anyway there are about 15-20 pics in each folder. I know the orange one will work see what you think of the others. Couldn't find a lot of pics of the red and black haired sharon's just the orange and purple evil sharon. Apple1.rar Apple1.rar
  13. Yeah but did you notice the strange heads on some of the valks. Also some of the fastpack boosters looked funny. Anybody got a pic of the VBA-6s
  14. Hey Anubis, Love what you've done so far. So far this is my favorite. The only changes I would make would be the pic of the 2 fighters on the far right (don't like) and maybe seeing if I can fit the sun into the middle photo with Isamu's flying hand. Instead of the current pic on the far right...what about using some sort of collage of the various sharons from her concerts. Maybe make them a little see through and place them over a pic of sharons box or what's her face in the mind machine for sharon.
  15. Anybody notice the abundance of oddball valks in Macross 7 dynamite. Several different heads and fastpack units. Most of the fastpack look like VT1's but not as fat. Anybody know if these valks are classified anywhere?
  16. I have the game but my PS2's swap magic 2.0 won't play it.. Wonder if 3.0 will. Lately more and more of the Japanese titles won't play on 2.0. That Jet alone is kinda fugly. I like the hammer but hate the Jet alone.
  17. http://www.mamegyorai.co.jp/series_item_de....asp?item=22361 Anybody know the background on these eva units? Kinda strange but the rei and asuka look really nice.
  18. So when are these comming out. and better yet where can I get them. Maybe I'll buy a Qua Ru now. I really only like the middle one. The hair hides the bad design a little.
  19. I had a ton of problems with the first series. Missing parts, broken joints and such that I decided to not buy any more of these crappy items. K&M sucks!
  20. I had one of these. Taka made them. This one may be a bootleg since the box is different than all the others I've seen. The taka ones are kinda rare. You see them up for sale on ebay occasionally. I traded mine to Trueblueeyes. Basically think of it as a taka posable with removable armor. No opnening missile hatches and armor that is difficult to put on. I had the max tv type. I believe that Kanata has one of this type. Very few movable joints on the valk itself. I've seen them go for as much as $400 on ebay and as little as $30 (I think that's what kanata paid). Wierd box.

    Better hurry

    Anybody notice that the little launchers on the legs are missing. You know the one's that flip up on the Taka or Matchbox. It might be the right size but it definitely a bootleg. I wouldn't pay more than $30 for that ugly thing. They could have at least given it DYRL arms instead of those poorly cast TV one's. Look at the end of its left arm and compare it to the original. THe spikes/points are much shorter.
  22. You might want to try animenation. Or else your local comic book store. I have one on order at a local store $34.00. Supposedly they ordered several but who knows if they will get them all. Dimond says they were shorted on their orders so there might be store that don't get any at all. Plus if you go with the diamond release expect a 3-4 week wait. Vol 8 was just released.
  23. Just got off the phone with Diamond. They confirmed that their release is no different than that of the Japanese release. The manga is in Japanese in both releases. ALso Diamond said they were severely shorted on their orders. They don't know when they will ship yet. As far as the figure goes I'm very impressed. Now if they can just make an asuka and Misato. It would be perfect.
