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.

The Most Stupid Anime(s) You've Ever Seen!
2 years 4 months ago
"First of, FLCL is one of the best anime's Ive seen, and its up there with my favorites, same is Cowboy bebop.. I guess most people don't like either complexity or simplicity. FLCL was complex in many ways, but you have to view it a maybe twice to fully get the most of the picture. Awesome artwork, awesome characters and you dont have to fully understand an anime, when its too obvious is just not as fun. Same with Cowboy bebop, its a simple story, its a character driven anime(like honey and clover) thats why it doesnt have a very strong main plot, but its still wonderful, one of the best ive seen ever. If the charcters can be seen as human beings, not anime charcters, and you can really asimilate yourself with them, thats when it really trancends to being something better than the rest. Samurai champloo is also a charcter driven story, and even though is not one greates anime ever, its certainly one of the best. I guess, I just love humanity and originality in anime.Ok now with that said, I think the worst one was Blood:the last vampire, the sotry was generic and unoriginal, it started of halfway through or something, and the charcters where sooo plain. Tenjou Tenge wasnt that great either, it was the same type ecchi anime that ive seen in other series before. Nothing original or captivating. The only thing i liked is that they sometimes portrayed the girls as strong individuals, well tried anyway; and the girls had swords, which is cool. I guess i like its artwork in walls that in the real series. Same thing goes to Yumeria. It was kinda pointless, ecchi/scifi action, funny at times but still kinda meh. You dont have to expose the girls boobs and make them romatically hopeless and whiny to be a good anime. Thats just one fo the main traits of being a generic piece of crap."

"Haha... I second that!
As most of you have said, Ive watched a couple.. some are disturbing, others are just flatout hilarious, my roomie got this one called hooligans or something like that... that was a but of porn but freaking comedy... HAHA...
Now raping and stuff, kinda weird, but i wont say "omigod anyone whow atched that are sick" Well... No one is completely pure and innocent, no one is the same, each and everyone of us have a perverted side to us... So if some of us enjoy watching it and as long as it doesnt harm anyone, then... let them be. :)"

How To Break Up - Is It Hard?
2 years 9 months ago
"I think we have suggested the same thing over and over again, to sum it up... read what we have been telling you... be truthful this means... if you want to break up with him... do it before it gets any worse. So if you don't see him breaking up with you, then you should do it first... since you are the one who seems to want to end it. So yeah... we suggest.. the longer you wait.. the worse it would get.. be honest.. explain it to him and just tell the truth. good luck. :)"

What Anime you Wish Never End ?
2 years 9 months ago
" Full Metal Alchemist - It was such a good story, it was always interesting and kept me watching. It ended so quickly and I was quite unsatisfied with it! I was like Nooouuuuu *vader style*Neon Genesis Evangelion - Weird that I havent seen this one here... Gawd, I could go on and on about this one, I really wanted to know what happend next.. with asuka and shinji... annd the rest of the world for that matter!! damn you Gainax!
Elfen Lied - I felt it was a bit rushed and incomplete, I mean, sure you can speculate what happend next but I wished they exmplained things better...
Witch Hunter Robin - Another one I could go on and on... it just ended.. at that, and we never really find out what happend with Robin and Anon... And i really got attached to this series... Grrrr... :(
Most anime have such an rushed and incomplete endings... I wish that most of the time they didnt speed up things so hard and explain at least some part of it. Yes, sometimes they can leave the viewer wiht some suspense and let them figure it out on their own but come on... at least finish the idea! Jebus! ¬_¬

How To Break Up - Is It Hard?
2 years 9 months ago
"I am not an expert when it comes to relationships... I've had a few of them of course... But... nevertheless... here I go. Being in a relationship is...lets just say not easy. Of course we fall in love, we have fun, we laugh, kiss, cry, hug, feel... its just human nature you know. If you really don't want to be with this person, first think about it... the reasons why... a lot of people when they break up with someone they somehow end up regreting it, so be sure about your desicion. If you are, then you must talk to him... you must tell him how you feel, how youve been feeling, how you want to be happy and let him be happy too. Dragging a relationship that you don't want to be in, will only make things worse.If you think you guys are not compatible but he has been nice to you..then of course break up with him in a meaningful manner, in other words... as nice and possible. Now if he has been a not very nice person then you just end things, in a respectful manner, unless he gives you a reason to be... hard on him. But if overall he has been a good guy then i suggest to just be honest, the truth hurts but at the end, its better to let your feelings be known. Breaking up hurts... so dont expect that this wont hurt because it will... I don't think there is a way to break up with someone without hurting them, but if you think its the best thing for both of you then... I suggest you do it, as soon as possible. You and him both will move on... I have... lots of other people have... its not the end of the world, its just part of life. So good luck... and stay calm... youll be ok and he will too. :)"

Nahhh, Its better, the moonlight is so much prettier than the sunlinght, and they dont have those nasty ultraviolet rays that damage your skin and eyes... Plus, its way better to fall asleep, and when nighttime srrounds you, one even looks more beautiful. Plus, looking at the stars totally rock! XD yeah... I'm lame like that. :)"View
Are you in a potential natural disaster zone?
2 years 9 months ago
"I Live in Puerto Rico, for those who do not know where we are located... its in the caribbean... Anywho, I am in a disaster zone, we get hurricanes every year, thats why we are prepared for them mostly. The small islands like the Virgin Islands, St. Marteen, Dominica and beyond get the worse part of the hurricanes but we do get some every now and then. Dominican Republic and Haiti also get hit hard... they are countries that are in poverty, so most of them do not have the resources to get to shelter and survive. We are lucky that we havent been hit wiht a Category 4 or 5 hurricane in the last few decades, but witht he ever changing climate, we probably will. :("View

"Mortal Kombat was terrible, I like Mario... cause it was stupid.. and I like John Leguizamo... I find him quite amusing, but yeah... Video games into movies have a tendency of being very bad.. and the story sometimes makes youn want to vomit because its THAT bad. I wonder how Kingdom heart would look like... it would probably be in CG but live- action... they can make the disney charcters animated... dunno.. and wow.. I wonder how Zelda would be like? I think it would be awesome if its done right... ohh and I know Fatal Frame is being made into a movie, I hope its as creepy as the game."View
Bleach Anime
2 years 9 months ago
"Hehehe, don't feel bad because your opinion differs from the rest. That's why its your opinion. I think the series has good potential, I just hope it doesn't turn into a Naruto, filled with half-done animation and filler eps. I think the story is becoming quite interesting. If we read the manga, of course there is going to be some sort of comparison with the anime, but that happens with every manga turned anime series. All I can say, its still a good manga, and it has a great story. Its animation is unique and the characters are well developed... Sometimes there is an abundance in secondary characaters, and the fillers are kinda bad... but oh well... nothing is perfect."View
evangelion....is it really ok to let ur kids watch it?
2 years 9 months ago
"I don't think kids should watch it, especially the latter episodes.. it has way more serious undertones, plus this anime was made to be watch by adults, not children. Another thing is that they would barely understan what is going at through the end, so I suggest... leave them wiht their cartoon network."View

Kingdom Hearts 2

"Wow... Kingdom Hearts.. Man I remember when me and my best friend finished the game, and watch that another side, another story trailer... my god did that made us go crazy...:omfg:... I remember us trying to develop theories of what it meant.. then we watched Deep Dive... that was just over the edge... Talk about torture... That was truly some good teasing of what it was about to become. I say... I hope it gets more serious, and that it wouldnt cut so much to movies and stuff... first one was awesome but a bit bit bit.. childish at the same time.. don't get me wrong, I love disney, I grew up with all fo those movies... but I think it needs a little bit of the dark side touch. :)"View

Elfen Lied
2 years 9 months ago
"This anime has amazing animation and in an emotional level, its a very deep story, but I think that it faulters in character development and its a bit unclear in the end. I wonder what was the point of the overbearing amount of blood and nudity. They tried to make their point across of how society can break down an individual when its expose to a great amount of hostility, cruelty and ignorance, in a way they did, but still... I wish they couldve develop the characters and made the ending a little bit more interesting."View
Evangelion Movie

"The series was amazing. Most people didn't understand what it was about, it had so many levels and dimensions (storywise) that a lot of viewers just got confused. I say, you must watch it again, and again to fully understand it's message. It can be very simple if you choose to view it that way, or if you rewatch it, you may find out more complex answers.A live action movie has been considered, there is even a website of the people that are actually thinking of making it.
