Trick or Treat by °chanelqueen17 1 month 2 weeks ago

After months of work, chanelqueen17 has created a gorgeous scene of Alice and Oz from Pandora Hearts, using scans that didn't even feature both characters together. Even after spending so much time on matching the details of the characters to their new looks, chanelqueen17 didn't stop there and went all out on the background too! This wallpaper definitely needs to be seen!

I love his character, Tealk, in SG-1. To see him, portraying that character, laughing hysterically---now that would be a sight indeed...

Do we see different colours?

3 years 5 months ago

"Easy, people have had eye transplants (no not total eye transplants which aren't feasible but cornea transplants... and the cornea is responsible for the bending of light into shapes and colors) and I don't recall them freaking out that everything is now different colors! So I say while this is an interesting theory it holds no water!"

Do you collect your anime series or you get rid of it when you watch it

3 years 6 months ago

"Well I buy all my anime (check my profile for a listing of what all I own) and frankly I choose not to get rid of them once I have viewed them. Given the low amount of quality anime that is released each month and my complete addiction to the stuff I find that reviewing anime I haven't seen in a while and thought of a good/great viewing level can be very rewarding.

If you were the ONLY one offered to live forever...

"You better believe I would, yes having the people I cared about dying around me would suck but I could do so many things and find ways to make their lives easier. Could you imagine if Einstein was immortal? Yeah I am no Einstein but give me a thousand years and I can find a cure for cancer. Not to mention I could make myself a world figure that never died off, moving the world leaders to closer ties with the pull I would have. So many great things could be accomplished that we can only attempt in out short lives."

People Who Don't Like Anime

3 years 7 months ago

"To each their own, personally I don't understand what they don't like about it but they have a right to their opinion, like I have a right to mine. There is no use to get upset about it everyone has different preferences and ideals, so they don't like something you do, no big deal and if they make fun of you for liking Anime/Manga then just know they are immature and it is not worth your time to care about their opinion."

Karma

3 years 7 months ago

"Ok %Dias didn't leave anything out for us to point out :( well a mighty fine post it was anyway...since I can't really talk to what it is in a better way than it all ready has been, I will share my thoughts for all to discuss...

By normal definition Karma makes sense and yet it doesn't. Like if I live a good life why do bad things happen to me for example. I don't feel Karma is an absolute, just because actions tend to dictate what goes around comes around doesn't mean it always does so in a singular persons life. Thus to me Karma doesn't always manifest itself in just one persons life, a good done to one may be the result of good actions of another, likewise the evil actions of another may manifest itself in an entirely different person. So I tend to take into account the balancing of the entire system as well as the balancing of ones life. Just my random craziness.

Subs or Dubs?

Just because there aren’t a thousand voice actors out there cheap or good enough at it to add the preferred range of voices and an actor can only change his/her voice so many ways doesn’t mean dubs suck. I don't think there are many bad dubs, frankly if all I am getting from particular anime is the how good the quality of the voice actors is...I would look at getting something different. I get too lost in the graphics and plot to give much of a flip about the quote unquote quality of the dub which frankly is a bunch of crap people harp on to push themselves into "supreme okatu" status. I have seen hundreds of anime and few have really noticeably bad dub quality. Heck I watched GITS:2 which is only in Japanese (of which I don't speak) and rather enjoyed that movie given I had no idea what they were even saying and to me that is more noticeable than the "voice doesn't capture the essence of what the character is suppose to sound like." Give me a break.

Ummmm... then tell me, what is the main difference in a high dollar movie produced by a major studio and a B Film? Its the acting. Take a well known, well renowned movie and replace the main actor with a crappy one and watch what happens. The movie that you used to love all of the sudden seems like crap. That is the same affect you get when you dub a series (anime or not). So don't tell me that a voice in an anime doesn't matter. Even if a studio uses a decent voice actor for a dub, it still cannot replace the original, intended voice actor. On a side note about GIST 2; that movie was nothing but eye candy. It was crap compared to the first movie.


First, no where did I say voice acting didn't matter, I implied that it wasn't the single most important factor and I stated if all you got out of it was the voice acting then you need to watch something else because you are too superficial and the creators failed to make a complete package which you can get lost in.

You make an assumption that everyone watches it in the original format, Nope. Second you think someone that doesn't speak THE LANGUAGE is going to notice the Oscar performance of the original voice actors, Nope. As well you expect me to believe every Japanese voice actor is divinely chosen by the gods and their acting will reign supreme, also Nope. I mean please. How do you know they didn't go through 5 voice actors and the original, Intended, actor bailed on them and the result was a sub-pair performance? Not to mention you make it sound as if all English voice actors suck and are B-class compared to the Japanese ones, just like the Japanese there are the good ones and there are the bad ones period.

Unless you speak Japanese the original voice acting doesn't mean CRAP! IF it does you are making it that way out of some crazy notion you created in your head.

I will not argue that the dub is of a lower quality than the original, but I can’t enjoy the original like I can a dub since the language being spoken isn’t one I can understand but the voice actors can see everything the original ones did and only have two things that would limit their performance.

One, the lack of the original director's interpretation of the scenes they are performing. Two, a sub pair translation. Yes with any translation there is going to be some loss of meaning since no language translates exactly into another and the interpreters varying levels of the understanding of the context affects the translation. But for as many bad changes there are good changes, the original may have things English-speaking people don't culturally understand and thus it would take away from the viewing. But a SUB has the same flaws, I just prefer to spend my time watching what is happening instead of reading about it.

On a last note the first GITS movie doesn’t live up to all the hype it got and I enjoyed the second one more, but that as with everything in this thread is a matter of opinion.

Best Scary Movies Ever!

3 years 7 months ago

"I have never seen a scary movie, movies that were gory or had pop out surprises don't mean they are truly scary or leave you freaked out at night. I love Silent Hill and hope the movie is as awesome as the trailer looks (though it does seem to be a meshing of all the games) if it is then it may be the first movie I would classify as scary since the trailer just freaks on me, lol."

most hated subject......in school

3 years 7 months ago

"All of them, lol.

No seriously, I have no issues with the subjects. I have been in college 6 years now and have been working in a corporate office for about the same. If I have learned nothing else, knowledge is power. Everyone is born with opportunity but knowing the who, what, when, where, how and WHY that you get from education is what seperates us and allows people to become more than just average. I can't say I like all subjects but since I see the benefit from them I can say I don't hate them."

Death...the end or the beginning...

"I think of death as a change in one's physical existence or plain to another, weather that be Heaven/Hell (given my religion, Christianity this is my personal belief) or an reincarnation, etc... I believe that death is a gateway to something. I do not believe we just die and that is it, the end (howbeit this may be a self actualization archetype). I just can't accept it (not that I can't comprehend it, I just can't accept it). "

Most stunning art

3 years 7 months ago

" Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo - The art in this is just completely different than anything out there, coupled with a great story line it rates at the top of the list.

Appleseed - in terms of a show that's main drive is CG, this show has some really tight scenes regardless of the overall flow and transitions.

Last Exile - beautiful all the way through, clean and crisp very nice details and did I mention beautiful?

Samurai 7 - I love the ary work in this series plain and simple, the intro was sweet!

Outlaw Star discussion

"One of the first animes I watched when I started to get into anime pretty heavy! I liked the show but it has been such a long time since I saw it so the details are fuzzy, plus as young as I was I am sure I would look differently at the series (from a more mature stance with a higher comprehension rate now). From what I do remember I really enjoyed Gene Starwind (well mainly his GUN!), Suzuka was cool and Aisha Clanclan. The story line was kind of predictable (the elements, not exact plot) but still over all a good watch."

Which kind of wallpaper you better prefer??

"I don't have a preference in that sense; to me if they did a good job with the colors, clean up and the layout is nice then I enjoy it.

::last exile:: opinions?

"The best series I have watched in the last year. (Points to sig!) This is my # 4 all time favorite and the other just beat it out cause they have sentimental value to me. The artwork was amazing, characters where actually developed in the series, idea was original. I was left wanting at least another 13 eps of this, which could still have some major surprises even though Exile is no longer a mystery given the way certain people were "killed." I really hope this series gets a sequel or a movie. Runs off to start a LE marathon!!"

what do you think of racist people?

3 years 9 months ago

"I think racism is silly and only ignorant and very low self-esteemed people could ever truly practice it. I think the people that get blown up about it are just as bad though. I mean if you can hate me for noting else than the color of my skin regardless of my actions or words however great or not then what makes me care anything for what that person thinks of me? Why should I care enough for that person to allow it to affect me? I will just laugh to myself and go on. Why whine and complain? That just feeds their hatred and fuels an already bad enough situation.

Is it okay for men to cry?

"Crying is a viable means to relieving stress in ones life, I see no issues with men crying as it is a very health thing. What I do have a problem with is people’s cynical view that it is wrong or un-manly. Frankly I worry about someone that sees a problem with a man crying when there is a need to such as a death to a close family member, the birth/marriage of a child, etc... "

Year of the Dog
1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006

People born in the Year of the Dog possess the best traits of human nature. They have a deep sense of loyalty, and inspire other people¡¦s confidence because they know how to keep secrets. Those born under this sign are honest, quiet, intelligent, generous, stubborn, loyal and faithful to those they love. But Dog People are somewhat selfish, terribly stubborn, and eccentric. They care little for wealth, yet somehow always seem to have money. They can be cold emotionally and sometimes distant at parties. They can find fault with many things and are noted for their sharp tongues.

I must say this really does fit me to the "T"
