Dubs are made so the American companies can make profits from the growing and gullible audience of children with cash. Without dubs, you can basically kiss the whole 1-18 market goodbye. Dubs are great from a marketing standpoint. Since anime are cartoons (oh, cry about it), you couldn't market them to adults because: a) Adults wouldn't waste their money on anime b) Adults wouldn't even realize they were the ones supposed to buy it c) Adults wouldn't like it when they bought it anyway So companies that want to bring anime over have to target children who will watch the stuff. And since kids can't read very well, they have to be dubbed. So I'd say to make money, dubs are necessary. I don't watch dubs because I... don't watch anime? And if I did I certainly wouldn't watch dubs.

(for internet+blank CD) [/B][/QUOTE] Some people have morals against that type of thing. And I can't blame them.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Blanko [/i] [B]AND how on earth do you know this??????? [/B][/QUOTE] It's um, pretty obvious? If you see a happy couple... and then you feel empty because of it... hmmm. Seems to answer itself.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Semjaza Azazel [/i] [B]Well if it was me I'd not buy any of these CDs in a million years (although I guess the first one if I had to)... So I say save the money for later :). [/B][/QUOTE] I basically agree, none of the CDs are worth money... So, either save your money, or buy "PSYENCE" by hide.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Blanko [/i] [B]3: To finaly understand why...when i look at happy couple...why i start to feel like...something is missing from myself... Liike im not all here.... part of me gone...or its always been gone...but now im starting to relize its gone...[/B][/QUOTE] You feel empty because they're in love and have found happiness in each other and you haven't yet. Merry Christmas.

If anything, you're using not just 1 but several percent less of your brain than the norm it would seem.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by MistressRoxie [/i] [B][color=#9933ff]DBZChickaGhan, don't tell yourself you aren't skinny enough, not smart enough, etc. You're absolutely wonderful the way you are, and I mean it. Everyone is different, because it's our differences that make us special. :) P.S.: Super models are freaks of nature, anyways.[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] Yeah, because even though they're different, they suck!

Why is everyone calling her friend an ***? He said he'd think about it, that's a valid response. They gave him half an hour. He thought for half an hour. They call back, he thought about it, and decided he wasn't going to go. The guy doesn't want to go. Where's the crime? I personally don't think there's any big conspiracy going on against you here, the guy just didn't feel like going is all. And as I see it there's nothing wrong with that, either... so, I fail to see where all this emotion comes from.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Kaiba's Angel [/i] [B]I can predict which episodes of TV shows are going to air before they air just by thinking of the title card music in my head and then a minute later, I hear that music in real life[/B][/QUOTE] So you got lucky a few times. Not a sixth sense. [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Kaiba's Angel [/i] [B]sometimes I can grasp the deeper meaning of something. Ignore that last one.

Eh, I've known a guy for about 8 years. Last year, I switched schools, and so since the middle of June I haven't spoken a word to him. It doesn't really bother me much... So I guess what I'm saying is, just move on and don't let this bother you too much. Friends are always going to come and go throughout life.

Nope, that isn't them. Oh, and if anyone is interested, the single ranked #4 on the Oricon singles chart (which is like the Japanese Billboard)... I think their previous single "Shining ray" got #6, making "MARIA no tsumeato" their highest ranking ever, tied with "feel the wind" and "Lunatic Gate". Yay :D

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Lalaith Ril [/i] [B]Just a quick queston where do I go to get the clips? I can't read Japanese..:drunk: [/B][/QUOTE] On the main page, click the menu bar that says "MAIN CONTENTS". The discography link will take you to a page with all of their singles, and each will have real media and windows media player samples. [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by amibasuki [/i] [B]this one song with a name in kana[/B][/QUOTE] The kana are SHIRUBIA... that's what I call the song, but if you English-ify it, the intent was SYLVIA. So... neither way looks all that great in my opinion, but I just go with the straight kana conversion. I must put up a full version of MARIA no tsumeato though. That clip doesn't do the song justice at all, there's so much more...

My mom stocks at Wal-Mart, and they begin putting out their Christmas stuff around July - August.
