Nice new avatar, BTW, @AC.
I'm thinking burgundy and black theme, what do you think? :p

Thanks! It's actually a singing cat-girl with blue hair, but I had to cut out a lot of things like the collar and ears... :( :D

Burgundy could work, but I'd have a muted gold in place of the black. ;)

I'm a bit of an anime fan, so it works for me. :) Have you seen Ghost in the Shell yet? :cool:

Mutated gold? Eh, we'll see. :D

Not Ghost In Shell yet, but I do follow up on whatever we do get to see here in America. The only Anime station that we get is Cartoon Network, so my variety isn't that wide unless I get something on DVD. However, I do know a lot about the ones we got. Yu Yu Hakusho, Candidate for Goddess, Cowboy Bebop, Gundam Wing... Ect. :)

Anime that Ive seen and liked:
Akira
Princess Mononke
My Dear Marie
Ninja Scroll
Venus Wars
Aria
A couple episodes of Nadesco
A couple episodes of Lain
A few episodes of Dragonball Z

Im probably forgetting a few....
I find Anime is OK, but is, a good amount of the time, over-rated.

I haven't seen any of those other than DBZ, and I didn't care for it all too much. I did like hang on... Ugh, I forgot the title... But it was really good if you could believe the fantasy aspect. :D

ANother really good one was Blue Sub no. 6. The graphics in it were quite good...

I only liked the newer episodes of DBZ. The early ones I find to be mediocre at their absolute best.

Akira, is by far, the best Anime Ive ever seen. DESTRUCTION! :D :cool:

I didn't really like DBZ, it was a bit basic (and was on in the mornings-yeech, if it's not on after midday I don't get up for it. :D )

@Ty-It depends on both the anime and the hype. Often over here anime isn't widely known at all, so it's not really overrated as such. Akira was very good, but Ghost in the Shell was better IMO.
One you both might like is Castle of Cagliostro, it's pretty funny.

Watch it. As soon as possible! And then report back. ;) :cool:
It's best watched alone, in the dark. It's not a scary movie, but it's just better that way.
Ghost in the Shell is my all-time favourite movie, I don't watch it much for fear of spoiling it.

Since when did the hermit cabin become a meeting place for Anime fans ;)

Still a big Bubblegum Crisis fan, *guess I should make an attempt to get the series sometime soon :rolleyes: *

There certainly is not! :D
I´ve read the DBZ mangas, which I really enjoyed, even though they are a bit basic... Dragon Knights is a really good manga, too...
I generally prefer the mangas over the animes.
Icewind Gate II Improved engine, third edition rules and the full BG2 storyline.

If you ever fall off the Sears Tower, just go real limp, because maybe you'll look like a dummy and people will try to catch you because, hey, free dummy.
