I loved the storyline about the dodos. And the one with the crow type acting out like a dictator and Alfred helping a revolution. The Nazi allegory was so obvious...

[DeathByTheSword]

yes true! and then that little mole guy that was his father and the time he was on that sailship

[Kassiopeia]

Wasn't there a flying orange windmill there? And Alfred visited space with it once... I think he even went back in time to some place that was like ancient Egypt.

[DeathByTheSword]

space i remember the other thing you say i dont no

[Kassiopeia]

My memory is fuzzy so I might be mixing up cartoons...

Okay. Two more hours and I've downloaded the DivX codec and software, and two episodes of NGE. If they work, I'll have my friend burn them on a CD so I won't have to download them all... 1,3 gigs on six KB/s is a big deal, considering that my connection can die out without warning every now and then (which makes downloading whilst asleep nearly impossible). You can look at the local time field and make your own conclusions...

So, guys, what's the difference between manga and anime?

As the current Director of Research, i'll assign a team of datatechnicians and archivists to that right away

but not if you use it to watch japanimation

[AdamTG02]

Yes, TKG, it is anime.

All in favor of impeaching TKG if he backs out? (j/k)

Well, what about:

All in favor of beelining to Planetary Networks so that we can download Yang's secret anime stash and watch it in comfy holo theatres?

Hmm... actually, I'm not sure we even want to know what anime Yang watches.

[Method]

although i will refrain from participating in any japanimation-related activites (in fact IIRC i declared war on pokemon a few years back for some reason ), i'll still assign a team of technicians.

[Kassiopeia]

TKG: You have something against anime as a whole genre or just Pokemon? I'm not too happy with Pokemon myself, that overcommercial turd and those hidious tentacle films are giving anime a bad reputation it definitely doesn't deserve.

Sigh...

I get it to run it but I can't hear any sound. Notice the time of posting - and I'm writing a school essay now. Maybe download new audio codecs to replace the current ones, which are four years old...

Manga is in form of books, anime comes in tv or films.

Now I've learned that there's a third film, one big production called Revival of Evangelion, in which there are the fixed episodes, and remade two last episodes, called Air and... something.

There is no third film. Blame a hoax movie poster some fan put together last year for that rumour.

As for your codec problems, download all the updates for Windows Media Player you can get from windowsmedia.com, plus get the following codec pack.

DBTS, you've got it completly wrong with Robotech & Macross.

1st Season of Robotech = A cut and hacked version of Superdimensional Fortress Macross
2nd Season of Robotech = A cut and hacked version of Army of the Southern Cross, with a completly rewritten script to bring it into the "Robotech Universe".
3rd Season of Robotech = Same as season 2, only it was Genesis Climber Mospedia that they cut and hacked.

And TKG? Don't call it Japanimation. It's ƒAƒjƒ

[Kassiopeia]

My old Media Player was acting up so I'm downloading the newest version. I feel like selling my Seele to Microsoft, though.

Danke.

(Am I ever glad I took German and French in comprehensive school. Anime: reason de etre.)

But you were certainly correct; the picture runs almost as smoothly as it did with my friends far superior computer. Full screen mode is a bit slow but the codec garbles up quite heavily in that.

[DeathByTheSword]

@ARchaic what is the different between macross and robotech then? it has been ages i saw it so i believe you ofcourse but thought that macross and robotech were the same on some level?

@the rest! pokemon and all those things similair sux but what about dragonball, dragonball Z, and dragonball GT (i my self like Z and GT the most )

[Archaic]

Macross was made in Japan. Robotech was created in America using the animation from several Japanese shows, including Macross, and completly re-writing the timeline.

Don't diss Pokémon. It's good. Just not when it's cut to ribbons in being dubbed. You should see the originals.

As for the Dragonball saga, it's far worse than Pokémon will ever be, especially its dubs. I thought they ripped Pokémon apart, but Funimation really screwed up with this title when they originally did it.

[Kassiopeia]

My knowledge of DB is limited to the speck of info that MrWhereItsAt's avatar is, if I recall correctly, from DBZ. I could be wrong.

1st Season of Robotech = A cut and hacked version of Superdimensional Fortress Macross
2nd Season of Robotech = A cut and hacked version of Army of the Southern Cross, with a completly rewritten script to bring it into the "Robotech Universe".
3rd Season of Robotech = Same as season 2, only it was Genesis Climber Mospedia that they cut and hacked.

No wonder I've got the impression that Robotech is one of the pariah of anime.
