@ComicMan24 said:The opening theme to GITS SAC 2nd GIG was so much better. Not that this one was bad of course. Can't say that any of them are among my favourites but to each his own of course.This was my feeling as well. The first season's is great, but the second is just... almost perfect?

Oh jeez, it's like the series is ending all over again! I can't handle this. *Don't cry don't cry don't cry don't cry*.Not every series can start out nearly as hot (having the main character die in the first episode is tough to beat) but even those with great initial episodes have a tough time competing.

I haven't been able to get this song out of my head since I first heard it four years ago.

Aniplex "rescues" Gurren Lagann, Blu Ray to cost 670 dollars
on the General Discussion board.
When Bandai Namco's publishing division went under last year, one of their most popular properties was Gurren Lagann. Fearing that no one would pick up the license, the DVD sets were bought up in droves. Now, Aniplex of America has announced that they now hold the Gurren Lagann license. With that, they will now release the series on DVD for 175, and on Blu Ray for 670. An announcement I ...

@AlexEL: Perhaps I like it because it is different. In other Ghibli movies, things are so swept along that the characters rarely have time to be fleshed out. And that isn't a bad thing, since the other films are terrific But Kiki is such a relatable character, and she is given the time to react to everything that happens in her journey. The film doesn't even need an antagonist when ...

He continues to release instant classics despite continually threatening retirement.These are the best Miyazaki films.1. Kiki's Delivery ServiceA classic coming of ...

I'd take .Hack//Sign's soundtrack over any of these. I've only seen a handful of episodes of the show, and yet I still regularly listen to pieces of music from it, often without any context. That's not to belittle any of those above (save maybe for Big O). Also, BECK, though it had the unfair advantage of music being an integral factor in the series.

@Destinyheroknight: And you also seem to be saying that we should instead use the most basic words to communicate, like what I wrote above for chips. Or as they should be known, ""deeply-oiled potato wedges of what I assume is English origin""

@Destinyheroknight: @Destinyheroknight: "And that call" ridiculous. Again, it is the evolution of language. You can use loaded language if you want, but that is how we have progressed, instead of saying "deep-fried potato wedges of what I assume is English origin".

Now that Viz has an up-to-date release strategy, I'm trying to stay away from scanalations. But money is a little tight these days, so I'll just have to settle for buying the volumes when they come out and going back to read these synopsis :P

@Destinyheroknight: Think about it the same way as "Fish and Chips". What the English consider chips is not the same as what folks in the States consider chips. Or "Soccer" vs "Football". Soccer originated as a nickname for "The Beautiful Game" before it became the only name in America. Good luck talking about the sport with the Sounders and Manchester United this weekend on this side of the Atlantic. And ...

@Destinyheroknight said:@AgentJ:So why don't we have special words for animation that was made in France or Canada or America or UK or Korea? Why do we have to separate other form of animation?Because Japan is KNOWN for animation? What can you tell me about France's animation scene? The country has had one noteworthy project in the last ten years (The Secret of Kells) Anime was absolutely gigantic in its heyday, ...

@Destinyheroknight said:@AgentJ:Merriam Webster's definition:a departure from the original or from what is pure or correctWe already have a word for it (it call cartoons or animation)That doesn't specify what sort of animation it is though. And I feel like you know that. To say "Japanese Animation" is seven syllables, a ridiculous number for two words. Anime is nice and simple. For someone that I assume values the Japanese culture, you ...

@Destinyheroknight said:@AgentJ:Merriam Webster's definition:Japanese, animation, short for animēshiyon, from EnglishIt should be to all, the word Anime was only created by Anime fans to try to separate from the word Cartoons because they don't want people to think they are watching Cartoons. So the word was corrupted over the years and we got the wrong definition"Corrupted"? That is how every new word in the history of language has been made. ...

@FoxxFireArt: Yeah, I preorder them through Rightstuf, but a subscription package where I could read the chapters digitally as they come out, then receive the volumes, for the price of the books or slightly higher, would be a big plus for me.

@Destinyheroknight said:@sickVisionz:Anime is short for animation in Japanese. So yeah, to them Steamboat Willie is anime.To them, yes. But not to us. If you pick up a "how to draw anime" book at Barnes and Noble, they don't have Mickey Mouse examples. The anime section at Best Buy or Frys does not have Animaniacs. Anime is one of many words that has seen it's meaning change as the culture it ...
