Yeah, It was better... But I like them both. To prvent it from screwing up your view, you have to read the books before and after you see it for the firxst time.. Then, the next times you see it it isnt necessary....For me at least. *shrugs* I thought Alan Rickman, Tom Felton, and Rupert Grit were the best actors. Bonniw Wright wasnt as good as I had hoped... And I despise Emma Watson... My friends are obsessed with Alan Rickman, they love him far too much...

Aikido is really good, it deals with size(and how it doesnt matter) and how you use the force your opponent is already using against them... If that's what your looking for.. I fence, i dunnpo if martial arts has made me better, ive been doing martial arts for longer..*shrugs*

i dun remember ever doing it, but i bet i have.... but show's always do it, especially kids shows(cause kids find it hilarious..*shrugs*), they'll have a character going " no way no how, you'll never get me to do this"then the screen'll cut to the character doing whatever they didnt wanna do saying "I can't believe i'm doing this.

yeah, check out theotaku.com's trigun section, it's new, along w/ Cowboy Bebop.. syk3 covered it pretty much. if you wanna check it out you could download the preview or download the show *cough*illegally*hack*, but i hope it's not the latter, we need to support aime in (insert home country here)!!!!!

What Easter Eggs in DVDs etc. have you found? An easter egg, for those who dont know, is a hidden extra thingy on a DVD or in a somputer game. The only ones have found by myself without a magazine telling me or anything were in excel saga vol. 2.. Go to any given menu and there are litle blocks shaped like folders, and i think in the extra featueres there is a plug or something... use the mouse to click on or the arrows on your remote or DVD player to move to these fodlers, and there'sll be some weird things, or sometimes itll take you to the character sketches or something... there's a lot of menus, so i havent checked them all out, but my favfe is menchi dogs. those are the only ive used or found, but ive read some in a magazine.. there was one for angel sanctuary in which you could see a hidden preview for utena the movie(i rented this, but didnt know about the easter egg till after.. crud, that was the only good preview on that DVD besides RG veda), and one In CCS the movie, but I forget what it was... anyway, has anyone found or does anyone know of any more easter eggs?

The best part is in episode 7 or 8, i tink 8, when excel has eaten a ton of food and is really fat and lying on her back, and she's having trouble brething and then goes" I'm.. sexy".. seriously.. I lvoe it.. next week I'm gonna buy vol. 3..... i hope there are as many easter eggs as vol. 2...

The Akira manga is GRRRRRRRRRREAT!!! but the movie is cut up and isnt really thesame, though it is STILL great.. It is ARGUABLY one of the best anime movies ever, but it is a matter of opinion as sephiroth said.

magic knight rayearth is a good fantasy book.. *shrugs*

LOL I already signed that petition, It's floating around online.. The other cause of the petition is unedited CCS, but that's already been done... Anyway, look for it, it already has 4000 sigs. _._ *pukes* dub names suck.

It's like that movie, the Royal Tenenbaums. Some people would walk outta the theater crying because of how dysfunctional the family was, some will walk out laughing because of how funny it was. Or you saw both sides. I like the funny side.. and the cat whose name forget now, but I know it's on theotaku.com somewhere...*shrugs*... I agree with Ex-Soldier that the funny parts and the serious parts well placed just right.

LOL butterfly, nevermind... Sorry. You know the saying "No man is an island"? That's what I was talking about. Sorry if it was really confusing../ Well.... I hope you get what I was saying now...

By freshman do you mean japanese freshman or american? anyway, Yugi and Kaiba are in the same grade, but i dont find it realistic that they're 14 or younger... Hmm. Anyway, the voices, both dubbed and japanese, are pretty deep....

It's, how do you say, not re-dubbed? i dun care. It's more yu-gi-oh for those who wat ch it on american TV on kids wb, and it doesnt change anything for those who dont.. *shrugs*

why did i put it in qoutation marks? i know not..... it was not late enough for me to be coherent....0_0 anyway, that's what i was thinking, that knives is as close to an island as any man could be, but that he is not. His hatred for humanity shows as well as his care of Vash, but he is so messed up (butterfly.......), which makes the situation ...akward yet..........i dunno... if i did, i wouldnt have started this thread ^_-

Yes, the Tao is very real.. There's some good books to introduce you to Taoism, and some bad ones... I personally do NOT suggest reading "The Tao of Pooh" or "The Te of Piglet". They're sweet books, but a bad intro to the tao... But you don't have to jump for the Tao Te Ching right away or anything... hmm.. well, the fastest and cheapest and easiest.......get in touch with kent!!! lol. well, yeah, we're getting a bit of the buddhism subject, lol... next post, i'll PROMISE to be back on topic ^^'

O_O i had the feeling youd say that..lol, not really, but....... yeah, you have to meet my friend, lol... still, what do you think he symbolizes as a "brother" to Vash?

well, some peoples went down by like 400.. and some 40.. i didnt go down much, maybe......10 or sometihng... I'm sure it will be taken care of.. i dun really care if our post counts are shown at ALL.

Good point.. Yeah, it's the latter.. Which really can be a fusion.. Fusing the belief in christ and the elements of buddhism really isnt that strange. By looking into yourself for enlgightenment, you can still trust Jesus to guide you... I wont really go into taoism.. So I guess im a fusion and a pick and choose person..O_o

Yeah, a bunch of people mentioned it on IM.. Hmm.. i dunno.. Mitch could be right.

What a great character Knives is. He's SO insane. What do you guys think of him? What does he or what he does symbolize? I havent seen the whole series, so spoiler warnings are in order.:D :p Anyway, my friend thinks he's sexy(0_0), but i thikn he's just really messd up and is a REALLY cool part of the series..... THat whole sociopathic thing...whoa... What do you guys tink of him?

sometimes people convey a meaningful message through graffiti.. though not a whole lot of the time.

i know a lot.. im a fusion of buddhist, christian, and taoist(0_o)... buddhism is a very.. er, it's hard to put it in words.. strong... or something... try searching google, for zen buddhism, tibetan buddhism, whatever else you are interested in..... im lazy, but i guess i could find domer good sites for you in my spare time.. which isnt mine.. ill PM you if i find anything iteresting.

heh, the hipoctire thing wasnt exactly meant to be taken seriously, but..... yah, i'm sure you read a lot of your taoist philosophy or whatevr...... i really like chuang-zi better, but..you get the drift/.. now, what is the exact reason you dont talk about his work? cause you read it? im confused..... oh well, yeah, insulting our country, etc. etc. i agree.. we agree on flag burining etc.

WOOO!!!! IDIOTIC CROWD!!!!!! !I'M SOOOOOOO SOWN WITH THAT!!! heheheh...... i love OB.. ive only been here since v5, july, but my 890 or some posts have carried me well. it's very fun, and many forums ive been to dont compare. the only other forum i regularly visit is my friend's, and that's much worse than this (no offense big sister jessie!!!!).. i love otaku boaRDS.... speaking of idiotic crowds.............. I'm gonna go beat up some of those hockey players with a watermelon, like those guys over there!!! WOOHOO!!!!!! SONIC FLOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! mmmmmmmm.... pop tarts...

yah,m the hummingbird thing is a bit weird.... but i like india.arie. i first heard strength courage and wisdom, then i saw video on MTV@, and then i downloaded in my head, then bought the album. well, i saw her music in high places special and apparently she does what she did there with people anyway without people... she's pretty earthy...... but i like her... but the problem is, i think she's trying to be more earthy than she should be to be herself. which can end up like TRYING to be artsy when you're not, eugh. like that thing at PS(the museum in NYC) that was 47 hours of a sink dripping rom 78 different angles. oi. the slide was cool though....*wanders off*\ EDIT: WAIT JUST 1 MINUTE THERE!!!!!! stop stealing stuff from the Boondocks!!!*points accusing finger*
