The buddhist symbol you're referring to is called the [I]sauvastika[/I] which moves in a counterclockwise direction, and is called the [I]manji [/I] in japanese. It is widely regarded as a symbol of good fortune, and was widely used in the ancient world (for example, appearing on mesopotamian coins). It has been used as a symbol of buddhism in japan since ancient times. It is the clockwise version ( the [I]hakenkruz[/I] ) which was perverted by the nazis. All of which was quoted from the start of the blade of the immortal books- who says anime and manga teach you nothing! Sounds like you had a lot of fun though, i would love to go and see those shrines myself one day.

[quote name='EVA Unit 100']Um, what is stupid about Justice League Unlimited and Teen Titans? They're actually some of the most intelligent and well-written shows on television.[/quote] I second this movement and/or motion. And you will never get anything as cheesy bad as steel angel kurumi. Thats cheesy bad, while naruto is cheesy good. You know its a pile of crap, but you love it anyway!

I'd have to agree that X the movie is a servere disappointment-as mentioned by nekova, you're not gonna fit that much info into a 2hr film. You could try the X tv series, but its a little slow, and i doubt you've the time to watch a entire series for your project. Pitty really, since the conflict kamui has to face between the oppossing agruments of the chi no ryu and ten no ryu would be exactly what you're looking for. Since gungrave, and escaflowne have been mentioned(and are good suggestions) i'll throw out Hellsing as a maybe. [spoiler] Alucard is a monster-in every sense of the word, but he's doing the right thing by killing vampires. Or is he? They are his own kind- but in episode one alucard sums up his own personal belif regarding hunting his own kind pretty well. You also have seras interal conflict as well- her refusal to drink blood, until she sees her master feeding on a human (a "bad" one regardless) at which point she bolts back to her room to feed her self.[/spoiler] Hope thats helpfull!

Do we know if cqc will still be used in the game? In MGS3 i really enjoyed using cqc, once i got used to it. It'd be a shame if they took it out again-ideally i would like to see it expanded a little.

The first anime i ever watched was eva. I was about 16 or so ,and watched it upon a friends recommendation. After watching the entire series, i casually walked to the nearest bar, had a stiff drink, and then went and cried in the corner. Seriously though, it really did open my eyes to anime-if it hadn't been for eva, i doubt i would like anime at all now.
