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.

For justice in the name of victory, or victory in name of justice
1 year 4 months ago
"what i mean is, do you think that the end justify the means, it is something close to it, but if you do not care, it is ok, though, since we do keep making decision everyday, i was wondering if some are aware of it, "do you fight for justice in the name of victory" means that do you fight for an exact goal and do your best to win at any cost, or "do you fight for victory in the name of justice" that is, does does winning matters more than the purpose of winning, in short it should be something like this!"

if u could have time machine.....
1 year 4 months ago
"Hi, well honestly, if i had a time machine, i would not allow me to be born in someway, it may sound foolish, but it is better than trying to fix mistakes, even if i did no much so far, the only mistake i did make up so far was to have faith, whatever, but going in the future would not be a bad idea, not to see my future, but the future of the world itself, i guess by curiosity only, fixin errors of the past may lead to more complex troubles, on that i agree, for example, if you erase one of your error, you will surely end up doing the same mistake one day, it is inevitable, just extending the time line, in any case to answer the question, i would use the machine to see the future, the past is the past, while the future is dermined from our decision, ability to decide is the only thing that differs us from machines, so better use it wisely!"View

As for me, i do not really know for what i fight for and in the name of what, am still lost, maybe i have been doing both during these years, how about you people? which part of the sentence do suit you best?"View

Girls one step ahead

"Actually, i do believe it does not make a difference, but, from my experience, girl who says their feelings first do not always have good intention, that is the case in my country, a girl who says that first is always seeking for something in particular, for example, three girls so far did tell me they love me, all these three did try to use me for something in particular, two of them did try to use me for s.. and in those three, only one was able to get a little far but none could reach what they were looking for, because i am not that kind of boy, but i am extremly naive, and they did notice that, it is only an experience, but i guess, it is valid on both side, there is not always good intentions, love is a complex thing that i can no more be allowed to play with"View

"Hi, first time i meet someone like me, me too i love dogs mostly, though i did never have one because when i was young i was asthma, so my parents did not let me have even one, i am scared too of the eyes of the cats, even if i like these pets, their eyes really makes me shiver, for now i only got a bird, it is used to human so i let it wonder in the house sometimes, it always comes back to my room, even if it was caugh by my brother, it seems really used to human contact, i still wonder how, but i still wish someday to have a puppy or a dog, would b really nice, i just love them, i had the opportunity only to stay a little with the dog of my cousin, and it is always playing and wondering around him, as if they have been friend all the time, i just love this relationship, for me dogs are best compared to cats, but cats too have their good points though ( right now i won't underline them lol ) because i do not know what to say on cats, seeya"

What anime made you cry?

"Wow, i know i am actually really sensitive, so many anime did make me cry a lot, there are so many, those i can recall now are fullmetal alchemist, 3 times, first at yug's death, the friend of mustang, 2nd was when edward dies, i did cry so much sight, i really though it would end this bad, and 3rd when ed did give his body to get back his little brother, this last episode kept me crying all the way, one of the many animes that did make me cry most, but there was also gundam seed, so many people do die, and it shows how war can be unfair, i did cry even when that mean girl did die, during the few last episode, damn i do not recall the name, there are so many animes which hold lot of emotions, i just love those kind of animes, that can make you feel really the message"View

What is your opinion on addictions?
1 year 5 months ago
"Hello, as for me, i am not of the kind who will lose his money in things that i would name 'short term pleisure or hapiness', i found the idea ridiculous to smoke for the reason that it removes stress like people would say when i ask, there are lot other ways to be stress free, if people think smoking is the only way, then sorry to say that but they are silly, why? easy, they remove stress by making them sick, do you really thing there is a logic in it? compared to me, if i want to be stress free, i listen to music, watch anime, or play game, i do not get sick and no more stress, anyway as for other form of addiction it is the same, but addiction in general depends, for example i am an addict of anime, games, and musics, and computers, when my pc was not working for 4 days i felt sick, and could not eat for 4 days, to tell you that, whatever the form of addiction, it may be harmful if you are not careful, but there are really bad addiction like drugs, smokes, and so on are the kind that are harmful to the core, the good action is never start, also, we do not become people we do not want to be, so if you think smoking and all makes you cool you are wrong, just be yourself at least, anyway here is my point on addiction."View
Collector! Are you One?

"Hello, as for me, at 8 years i did start to collect anime magazine ( because i did love reading these magazine and they did hold so much important information and discussions ), at 10 i started to collect any anime pictures and posters i could get my hand on ( when i see anime pictures i can feel this feeling of being before something equivalent to what would be for you people to be in fron of a start i guess ), at 14 when i got my second computer i did start to collect any pictures i could get on cool animes ( they were so wonderful to look at and i was so nice to share them with people who could appreciate the beauty of the human's mind reflection in anime pics ), i started to collect any original games i could lay my hand on ( i did even follow games that did have sequel, like megaman and some others ), at 16 years old i started to collect animes on dvds ( the animes i love most of all ), i am a collector of yugioh game cards ( the game and drawings are so awesome ), well so far, when i collect i do really collect at my best, if i consider the sentence i did quote, well i love original stuffs because not only due to the fact that they are original, they are of better quality, good quality pictures, guidelines, with an awesome well designed box, lively colors, you question would be rather why do we collect but why do we tend to collect original stuffs, and the answer is easy, to be unique, different, afterall, we are different all of we, that is what makes us human, and in our materialistic world, we like to have objects that show for us how unique we are, maybe i am wrong but it is just a point of view, in any case, i would rather use my money and collect these things that i may cherish the whole of my short life, than wasting my money in short term happyness or pleisure, some may say i am weird, mad, crazy, in my short life i did hear a lot, but if i do translate all these sayings, it only means that i am more close to wisdom than those people lol, i am just kidding, but anyway, i am collect only things i do really love, and believe it or not, i never get fed of things i love, liking park, a group i did discover in 2003, now in 2007 i would still listen to them every week, i would do watch my favourite anime scenes i did cut on my own everytime i get the chance, and i always feel proud when i watch all the stuffs i did collect so far about my favourite animes and games, seeya"

Do you like to clean your room?
1 year 5 months ago
"Hello, i know it is barely believable but, i like to do cleaning my room mostly organizing everything in a new way often, why? Simply because it removes the boring and monotonous atmosphere of my room and gives you like a new feeling, some kind of reborn i guess, and it is also cool to give your room a new personal look, rather than keeping the same set for one year, it makes me choke just thinking of that idea, have everything well set, since i got other 300 dvds, it is damn hard to keep a track if i do not properly set them, so sometimes it is necessary rather than a like to clean, but i guess it is a duty we can only escape if human did spend more time on worthy things like more powerful AI and so on than messing around with smokes, drugs and s**, in any case, i do like cleaning, i know it sounds weird saying that, me too i think it is weird but it can't be helped as i said."View

"I will be honest, the first time i came on the forum was on the general discussion forum and i did not even know that posting replies was a way to get AP, when i came, i guess i was too lazy to read the FAQ ( of course i am lying now, i was not lazy, just to busy to have time to read it and no more printer to make a hard copy and read it at work ) you will ask me what was the thing that did motivate me to reply? by the way this is the 1st forum in my life and the only that i have been on to talk about animes and general stuffs, well why did i reply to a topic, it was because i did see a topic that did really got my attention, it was on death to be still honest, while reading the replies i got so interested that i did want to reply too, and after doing so, i did realize i obtained AP, thus i did look for other posts that match topics i can discuss on, but time did go, and did not find any interesting topics, so i did go on the animepaper forum, there i did found lot of more interesting topics, and after some weeks there were too on general discussion forum, so it became rather a fun than obtaining AP to participate in those forum, because there are various ways of thinking, various opinions, and lot of interesting things to discuss about, even if i am not a talkative guy, but i can express myself really easy in English writing, i do not really know why but, for me it is alright, because talking give way for people to your weakness and toy you, thats what i think, to stay on the theme of this topic, then i will say that i am on this forum to have fun mostly, even if we stop having AP i do not mind, i never had such fun discussing and reading, i just like it, take care everyone"View
Reading minds...would you like it?

"Wow, it is an interesting topic, here i go, before when i was young, i really wish i could read through the mind of people around me, know about their moves, i do not mean going in their personal life or what, just read their though on the moment when it concerns me, and also to be able to be safe from being back stabbed by others, but now, i do not think it will really be useful to me to have such power because i already know what is in all people's mind about me, they all want hurt me, or manipulate me in some way, i know what you will say, not all people are like that, but when it comes to me they are, not matter how hard you will try to convince me that there is a best in human they all are not worth to read in their minds, i got better to do, on the other side, there are other way to read in people's mind, for example, when watching an anime, you can guess a little the author's way of thinking on a particular topic, or a song you can guess a little through what did the artist go through, but sometimes i guess such stuffs are not real and are mainly for business, in any case, having this power would not be so bad, it could still help in some way only we have control of it of course and a good self control ( like me lol ) so that you use this power only when necessary.quite interesting, grace? well i do agree with the fact that girls are a mess ( no offense ) it is just that, from what i did live so far, they all got weird ways, in any case, i guess it cannot be help much, hey, reading in mind reminds me of something, the power of some evil in stargate SG 1 tv show, now i recall that, i believe reading in the mind of people will be more than awesome lol

What is your favourite season of the year and why?

"Hi, i am from mauritius, a tropical island in the indian ocean, we got only two season here, summer and winter, during summer it is the season of cyclones, natural disaster as we say, but i love cyclone seasons, it cannot be help, i love more bad weather to the sun, and the gust of winds are too cool to watch, on the other side when there is no cyclone it feels incredibly hot, that is why i hate summer, but in summer most of public holidays fall in that period of the year, gosh, i guess it cannot be help too, another point that is cool in summer is, sun sets really late, which means you can see almost like in day time until 19h00, and at that time usually streets are lonely, it is rather cool to walk around at those time in summer, lone and safe, the thing is even if summer season got more good points than winter, i would vote for cold i guess, sun sets early and you can sleep more easily, also i would rather die of cold than of hot, in winter, no cyclone, nothing interesting, except on tv, since during winter it is school holidays, lot of new stuffs are shown on tv, like movies, animes and all, i forgot one more good point about summer time, there are thunder more othen during that season, its freaky but wonderful to watch, light tearing the dark night sky in pieces is just awesome, hmmm i made up my mind, i love summer lot but winter is more easy to bare, so i will choose none lol, it is too hard to choose between which i like most, but before today i did not realize summer time had so much good points compared to winter, well well later everyone"View
Do you smoke?
1 year 5 months ago
"Well, i guess no one would believe but whatever, i am almost 20 years old, i never did drink, have s** or did smoke, why you will ask, simply because i am not interested in short term happiness or pleisure, i would rather save my money and by a ps3 that would last at least 2 or 3 years than spending 10 times the sum of money for ps3 to get sick with smoke and look cool, i do not believe that smoking or doing such other stuff do make people look cool, it just do show that those people do not have a personality of their own and only copy on others, as for me, i am my own self, i will just never smoke no matter what, it is easy for me since i am an incredible determine person like you would call it, when i set my mind, nothing will stop me, once i did have a friend, a really good friend who started to smoke of a sudden, i told him, the next time i see him i will take the smoke and burn it in his hand, so that each time he smokes, he will remember this pain, he promised me he would never smoke again, but i guess he did not mean his words because 4 days after i did cross him smoking, i was in his back, i called his name, took the smoke and burn it in his hand like i said, he did scream, he did even hit me, but i did not care, now he does not smoke anymore, it has been 2 years already, he still got some bad feelings about it but i took those hit as his way to say thanks for helping me, from the day i did burn that smoke in his hand, he did not talk to me 3 weeks, but after he came to me, i told him, i lend you my hand for you to stand up, do you want to stand up or not, my hand will be always here for you to help, i guess he did forgive me for that over doing act, but i am a man of word, all this was just to tell you that, for me, smoke is neither good, nor bad, it is just not worth more than buying an anime dvd or an original game, there are many things far better than smoking and drinking, think about it, as for the guy who did write this thread, keep it up, never let you fool by guys who smoke, see ya everyone"View

SIbling relationship

even if i did see this situation happen with a boy in real life, it is kind weird in animes, but i guess that animes are a reflection of real life afterall"
