__THISRES__100357.jpg "Trick or Treat by °chanelqueen17 1 month 1 week ago")
^nat
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!

Influential/definitive anime

"Evangelion is indeed one of the corner stones in anime. It's downright embarrassing to call yourself an anime fan without at least knowing what this anime is about.Also, as far as the newer generations go, I believe Death Note is up there with anime's that any anime fan should at least look into.

I had an anime experience. Does it mean I'm obsessed?
1 year 10 months ago
"Heh... don't worry, your not obsessed. Well, maybe just a little ^^I don't think it's strange for someone to compare their experiences in life with similar events in books, music, anime, manga etc. In fact, I think it's perfectly natural. But if anime is the only thing you look at for comparison, then I don't think it's an exaggeration to state that your slightly obsessed (and I use the term slightly very loosely). But still, the act of comparing is perfectly natural and there is no shame in that. Even if the only thing being compared is anime... I think. "

Philosophical Question
1 year 11 months ago
"Can you be anymore vague?Define "good" and "evil"
Just so you know, unless someone defines these words, they don't exist. In other words, good and evil are nothing more than man made concepts, unfortunately. At least, you can't prove whether something is "good" or "evil" through logic.
Just so you know, this world is not black and white; it's gray.

Eureka Seven
2 years 6 days ago
"I hope that is the case. I loved E7 and I would love to see a sequel or some kind of continuation.
I would be fine if it turns out to be a movie or a series that acts as a direct continuation. Normally, I would rather have a movie since another season could kill the entire series. But this is BONES we're talking about. They know how to make a great series like FMA or E7. I'm sure if it is another season or a series that continues the story of E7, then BONES will make it awesome.
So either way, I'm not worried since I'm sure that it would be phenomenal. I'm thinking they will most likely make a movie sequel just like they did with FMA. I just hope it's not just a false rumor. "

How Is 'Manga' Pronounced?
2 years 1 week ago
"No need to be sorry. Since you're new here it won't really matter. I guess this topic works in this this forums as well.
But I'm glad you pronounce it the way I do (the right way). And if anyone else tells you otherwise, they are wrong.
It's surprising to see how many people pronounce it incorrectly.
For the second time, It is pronounced: "man-ga"
"man" is pronounced like "mon" from "monster" and "ga" like "go" in "god"

How Is 'Manga' Pronounced?

"I think it is a stupid question too.And I think you should have asked this question on the manga forum but whatever. It is pronounced: "man-ga"
"man" is pronounced like "mon" from "monster" and "ga" like "go" in "god"
That is the true, Japanese way of pronouncing it and since "manga" is a Japanese word, it is indisputable. If you think otherwise, try pronouncing it any other way in Japan. I'm sure you would love to see the Japanese laugh at your broken accent.

Money or world peace??
2 years 2 weeks ago
"I think your missing the point. World peace is virtually impossible, no matter how you look at it, and this topic is hypothetical. Basically, this isn't a realistic question. So you can't be "realistic" about it.
However, if it was possible, is what is being asked. Realism has no real role in this question.
Also, in regards to your last sentence/comment: what are you talking about? Money is the antithesis of peace. It doesn't matter how much money one has, money will never achieve peace. That much is a fact. "

INUYASHA'S FINAL EPISODE
2 years 2 weeks ago
"I never considered Inuyasha a great anime. The beginning was interesting but it became very tedious after about 50 or so episodes. However, I stuck to it till the very end and regretted it big time. I don't care how, but I just wish that they come up with an ending. A REAL ending.Some say the new movie could very well be the true ending. I hope that is the case but at the same time, I could tell it's going to be rushed. I doubt they will be able to tie all the loose ends in just about 2 or so hours. But then again, a crappy ending is better than no ending at all IMO. "

feelings that evangelion inspired
2 years 2 weeks ago
"Unlike most people, I loved NGE.I liked everything, including the ending. The religious, psychological and philosophical allusions just made me want more of it. It can be a total brain-bender for those who are ignorant about such topics but for those who have a good array of knowledge would most likely enjoy it. At least I did.
The last two episodes were very interesting but I was left wanting more. The story had to close. And that is when EoE came into play. That was all I needed.
All in all, a great series IMO.

why is woman more vain than man??

"First and foremost, I think I should apologize if my reply to your post sounded offensive.Um, not that I am trying to start a debate but since you dropped the term "logic" in your post, I just can't help but reply. You can't logically conclude anything. You merely assumed that that is what she was implying as I assumed that that is not the case. So there is no solid conclusion. Just assumptions based on given information in her first post.
However, I missed her second post and it would seem you were right in that she was indeed implying that men are not beauty conscious. But if she had not made a second post, a solid conclusion was not possible.
But she did and I'm going to assume your post was a direct response to her second post. Sorry about that. I'll be more careful next time.
Like I said, sorry about that. It's the reason I quoted your last sentence and thought it was a reply to her first post.
Didn't think your request was a joke. It sounded serious to me. But now I see that it was and have nothing more to say.

"Once again, your are not backing up your claims. Before, I thought you hated the anime because it didn't follow the manga. Now you say the anime sucks because the storyline was crap. What was so bad about the story and exactly how the hell was it predictable?
I mentioned above how the storyline was awesome because it had a deep, and elaborate plot with a great deal of twists and turns. A great deal of character development and a good balance of humor and sorrow. Elements you would pretty much find in any good anime (or literature for that matter).
Now, I would like to hear how the story sucked and how it was predictable. Back up your claims and I would respect your opinion. And just for you:
FMA Wiki
The point I am trying to make is that for an anime that "sucked," it sure has achieved a great deal, don't you think?
If you choose not to respond, make sure the next time you are asked for an opinion, you don't make claims like "it sucks" and just say you don't like it. Because as I said before, the series does not suck and good luck trying to convince me otherwise. "

How long do you think you'll live?

"Wow, you even have a prospective month and day, ~purevil89.As for me, I don't want to live too long. I just can't take the prospect of being old or even worse: being senile and being taken care of by others. Such thoughts make me go crazy.
But, I don't have to worry about that. You've heard of the expression:
Pretty boys die young.
This expression totally applies to me. And what's even better, I'll leave behind a beautiful corpse. "

Money or world peace??
2 years 2 weeks ago
"Is it just me or did most people misunderstood the point of the question.By world peace I believe $nitemare1004 meant if it was possible and could be achieved. And once world peace is achieved it will forever remain. But of course, in reality that is not likely to happen and it is hypothetical.
Anyway, back to your question: Money or World Peace? It's tough question...
At first, I would consider the money. World peace means no conflict and that would make things boring. But when I stop and think about it, I am in no position to say such arrogant things; especially since there are those suffering from conflict much greater than mines. Let me elaborate:
There is conflict everyday in everyone's life. On one end of the scale, two girls fight over the same guy or two siblings fight for the last piece of cookie. While on the other end of the scale, many people die from such meaningless wars and conflicts. The innocent shed blood so politicians can bathe in their tub of money. Nowadays, wars takes place simply for financial reasons. There is no justice.
To achieve absolute world peace means to end conflict altogether, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem. If minor conflicts are left alone, they will evolve in due time and become much more severe and tragic just as they are now.
Not to mention, if world peace were to be achieved, the value of money won't mean as much. In fact, it might not have any value at all. But I won't get into such a philosophical subject since it is off topic.
Anyway, in the end, when faced with such facts, I would most likely choose world peace.
This world is rotten, and as long as conflict exists, it will always remain rotten. "

why is woman more vain than man??
2 years 2 weeks ago
"@~shioraI wouldn't say your vain; you just care about your looks. To be vain means to think you look better than others.
Anyway, back to your question. I understand why you would think that. Generally speaking, most men don't care about their looks as much as most women do. Not that guys don't care, it's just that they don't care about it as much. Of course there are exceptions for both men and women.
As for me, I tend to care a great deal for my hygiene and especially for my hair (and I am a guy). My hair is longer than most men so naturally, I care for it a lot (using the right shampoo, conditioner etc.). And like you ~shiora, I too take long showers (about 45min - 1hr). But mainly because I like being under hot water. It relieves all the stress for that day.
As for your other comments:
I look at a mirror I come across once in a while.
I eat when I am hungry but exercise regularly.
I rarely use a lotion.
And I almost never ask others about my looks.
She is speaking generally. And you might be an exception but in most cases men don't care about their looks as much as women do. That much is a fact. Not to mention, she never said men don't care about their looks nor did she imply it. Read things more carefully next time. "

"There is so much to say about this anime but I'll keep it short.The reason I loved this anime was mainly because of it's psychological feel mixed with the mecha genre. Not to mention all the messages and allusions towards psychology, philosophy, and of course, religion. That just made every second of this anime awesome.
It's true, there were many similar allusions to psychology and religion found in Xenogears. I guess that's why Xenogears is one of my all-time favorite games. "

Traditional Asian Food
2 years 2 weeks ago
"Asian food, huh...Well, I got to say, I am a huge fan of Japanese food. My favorite dish has to be... Sukiyaki. I just love it. It's delicious. Everything you can ask for in one dish: Beef, noodles, vegetables, tofu (ya, I love tofu) and more in sweet broth. As far as pastry goes, my favorite has to be mochi rolls. It's ice cream rolled up in rice/wheat. It's very delicious. There are more I can list but I'd best not.
Chinese food comes in close second. I don't know the names of too much dishes but let's just say I love everything Chinese (from gourmet to fast food). I guess my favorite would have to be the different variations of Chow Mein. However, I haven't tried much Chinese pastry but I would love too.
That's about it as far as Asian food goes. I love other dishes from Asian cultures (Korean, Taiwanese, etc.) but not anything I can specifically point out. "

"No offense but... never mind. Let's just say you and your friend have a long way to go before you can even stand a chance against a pro (or even me for that matter ^_^).
At least you got most of the mechanics down (wavedashing, L-canceling etc.) but nowadays, thats not considered much anymore. For starters, I suggest you drop Roy. He might seem like a "cool" character but in competitive tournaments, he is rendered useless. And as for your friend, I suggest the same thing. Falco, unlike Roy, is an awesome character but it takes mad technical skills to be good with him and judging from your friend's gameplay, I don't think he has what it takes to be good with Falco. But then again, it takes time and if he is willing to spend a great deal of time to be good with Falco, then he just might develop the necessary technical skills.
I could go on criticizing but then again, that would take way too long. For now, just find a new (and an effective) character.
Well, good luck improving your game. "

I'd be very skeptical about the sources I receive such information from. There might be more to it than from what you hear.But let's assume Nostradamus' words are absolute and the world will end in 5 years, I just say these magic words and all my worries go away:
