How is Japanese Anime better than America Cartoons?

1 month 6 days ago

"Pink-Sakura, I could not agree with you more! I also enjoy anime and cartoons, but there are some anime I watch just for fun, like Sayanora Zetsubo Sensei or Dai Mahou Touge, and cartoons I watch that are more serious, like Spawn or Avatar.

Luvu, I mean no offense, but each frame of animation in an anime, in general, tends to be lower quality, so that's why the animation isn't exactly top-notch. The quality of what's being animated, however, is normally better than that of most cartoons. I've seen frames where characters had extra fingers, so yeah. I love them, anyway, though!"

Things that you thought could only happen in anime happens in real life

"The nose bleed stories made me giggle. I wouldn't have expected anything like that to have happened IRL.

Mine isn't too out of the ordinary, but I met a girl who beat up the guys she liked kind of like Naru Narusegawa (sp?) from Love Hina. It was so, so, so weird!"

Scan

"I have a lot of unusual things that I want to scan and submit, but when I scan them, they are much smaller than the required size to be submitted, but I see scans of things that I know are tiny, like cards, that are larger than the required size. How do people get large sized images out of things that are small IRL?"

What's your biggest Pet Peeve when it comes to Wallpapers?

1 year 3 days ago

"I have a lot of pet peeves. Misspelled words, poor extraction, JPEG artifacts, and clutter are my biggest wallpaper pet peeves. Misspelled words make the wallpaper creator look sloppy and lazy. I mean, you can spend hours makings a gorgeous wall, but you can't spend a few seconds to make sure you spelled a word right? If I feel like going at a wallpaper with a red pen, then there's a problem. Poor extraction makes a wallpaper look messy and sloppy. It shouldn't be obvious that the images are all from different places. JPEG artifacts make a really gorgeous wallpaper look really dirty in all of the wrong ways. I've seen it get so bad that you can't even read any of the text on the wallpaper! Ew! I don't like clutter, because then I don't have anywhere to put my icons. A wallpaper should have form and function. If it just looks great and I can't put my icons anywhere, then I can't use it and all of that great-looking-ness is for naught!

I actually don't have any problems with low-res. I use 800x600. That is the largest res my computer can get. Low-res to me (Was is 640x400?) doesn't exist anymore! XD"

.hack//G.U. Redemption

"Is anyone else looking forward to .hack//G.U. Redemption?

I really like .hack, so I'm looking forward to it. I was able to get a lot of information about .hack//G.U. Redemption from the official .hack//G.U. community site, Altimit Corp and the official G.U. site, .hack//G.U.

Some videos of .hack//G.U. Redemption can be viewed on Youtube.com here. They all look really interesting and get me pumped up over .hack//G.U. Redemption, but the Crimson VS. video is my favorite! The cards look so cool and some of them look like they have older .hack characters on them. I wonder why...?

Here is an interview with CC Corp.'s Hiroshi Matsuyama. Mr. Matsuyama is so cool! He is one of my favorite people in the gaming business. He talks a lot about G.U. in this interview. Some of his answers are really vague, but others, like what characters' names mean, were things I was wondering myself.

This is from IGN.com and has a lot of images and pictures from .hack//G.U. Redemption. Haseo looks so cool! I so want to play that game!

So, let's discuss .hack//G.U. Redemption. Like what you think what will happen and stuff. Maybe you noticed something about G.U. I missed? Something else? Or we can just discuss .hack//G.U. in general. "

I think it's very interesting that there are so many ways to play with the controllers, like, you can use the GCN controller or the Wii ones. Too cool! I'm really interested in seeing what new characters will be added to this game too.

Most Annoying Thing In A Game

1 year 3 days ago

"I have nothing against cutscenes, but if a game is going to have them, I want them to be so short that they're over when I finish making and eating a sandwich or I want them to engage me as a player like the cutscenes in Resident Evil 4 or Metal Gear Solid 3.

Long loading times and poor gameplay annoy me like no other. I remember the loading times in Final Fantasy Chronicles were so long, I could leave it for hours and finally, it would be done loading. If a game is going to have loading times, it should be in seconds or minutes, not hours! Poor gameplay is just unforgivable. It's one of the few things that can make never pick up a game again."

Game franchises that need to die... and why?

1 year 3 days ago

"I'm with Copybeaver here. It isn't so much that game franchises need to die, it's that the companies need to put more thought into each and every single game they produce for that franchise and not release so many games. Quality over quantity. Think about it. Would more gamers widen their eyes over another Megaman game or Xenogears 2? Exactly."

what do you think about bleach?

What is the best final fight scene you have ever seen?

"I like a lot of fight scenes in anime, but as far as final fight scenes are concerned, the fight between Nanoha and Fate in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha was the best I've seen. It was beautifully coordinated and a breath of fresh air from a magical girl series. I mean, a staff that's actually used as staff?! Wow!"

If a GUY was raped, would you still react so much?!

1 year 7 months ago

"When men are raped, they are less likely to report it, because society frowns upon it. If you're a man, then you should've been able to stop it, they think. Personally, I think it's really disgusting. I think that your sex shouldn't matter. Rape is rape. A lot of times, young boys are being raped by older men and women, and it is sick. Also, there is prison rape, like Zealkai said."

Do you like spicy food?

Waste of Gaming Technology

1 year 7 months ago

"Have you ever seen a game that used something in a new, original way and then found out that it was *only* game to ever use it, ever? Isn't that a waste? This isn't just a discussion on this, but just other ways that gaming technology has just been wasted in any way, shape, or form.

Me? I think that the voice recognition technology for the N64 was wasted. It was only used once for Hey, You, Pikachu! I would've liked to see more games that used it."

Is anime that much better than manga?

1 year 7 months ago

"It depends. For the most part, the manga is better, but when in a humorous series, like Bobo, DiGi Charat, or Azumanga Daioh, the anime can be better, because seeing it and hearing it can make it that much more funnier. Also, sometimes, as is the case of Cardcaptor Sakura and Princess Tutu, the anime and manga have different stories and sometimes, people like the anime's story better, like me."
