This wallpaper captures the urban essence that proliferated the art of Ghost in the Shell in every incarnation of the series. Phill does an amazing job of capturing a moment of surrealism.

While there are a few, stray building angles and shadows, you find that your eye forgives the minor details and instead focuses on the overall scene that is larger than life, with lights trailing off into infinity.

Ok. I'm a huge fan of kenshin. I have almost all of the current mangas and USED to watch the show (until it went off-air and i placed my personal ban on cartoon network for it.....) but one thing still bothers me. Does oro really mean something?

I understand it's just a stupid phrase to express confusion, but does it really have a meaning that just doesn't translate to english?

soooo cofused.....erm.....i mean ororororororoo :faint:

Oro is just a sound, right? its like. . . its like. . . "umm" or "uhh" stuff like that. . .

An equivalent of "huh" (or lots of "ouch" when he repeats it several times). It can mean other sounds, sometimes you can hear it from other animes: "ara ara" <--- "oh, my" or "well well", can also mean "what?"

I know it really is some sound to make light of something, but is there a possibilty that it's something stupid that couldn't be translated properly from the original japanese to english?

Erm, I actually heard about what it was..
It's just some exclamation words that's being used in order to
exchange those boring ones like "ouch -->itai" or "eeeh? --> ararara"

so basically this ORO doesn't mean anything. It's just random exclamation
like (nya, nyan, bui) if you do watch Prince of Tennis. >.> there.

ORO?? It means gold in a language.. I forgot the language, sorry.. but definitely not Japanese word..
Maybe it means "Huh?" in the anime..
God knows..

Both Kenshin's name and his semi-nonsensical exclamation "oro" are tributes to Watsuki's favorite comedian, Ken Shimura. As used by Shimura and Watsuki, "oro" expresses surprise or dismay, based on the similar exclamation "ara" (generally considered feminine). As proper Japanese vocabulary, "oro" only exists as a word for lochia.
