[/B][/QUOTE] [color=orangered][size=1]Nah, it's nothing like an anime at all. It's a cartoon. But the art style is generally more...how can I put it..."lush" than anime. A lot of anime tends to be very raw, barebones design (particularly Dragonball), while this movie is more like english cartoons whereby the backgrounds look hand-painted. In any case, it's strange because even though it's about rabbits...it's supposed to be a serious story in a realistic setting. As I said, I saw it many years ago...so I only remember parts of it. But it's a good movie to watch if you feel like something very involving.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that black rabbit, it was like a dream/hallucination that the main character kept having...I forget what it symbolized. But it kept kind of following him wherever he went. The ending was scary too, when the general went into the warren and was killing everyone...very freaky.

D. Dark Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 Has anybody ever read anything by Isaac Asimov, like "I, Robot", and other books. I've heard it's pretty good, and I managed to plough through a 700 page short stories book about robots by him (Got it from a friend). Has anybody read "Space Odessy" (Sp?) books? They are really good, and I recommend them highly... I remember FF VII being based on a book. Anyone know where I can get it? And lastly, has anyone played role-playing books?

Mike Posted December 15, 2001 Share Posted December 15, 2001 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by \¤~NoodleZ~¤/ [/i] [B][b][color=indigo][size=1] War books. Um The Redwall Series by Brian Jacques maybe. Except for instead of humans it is talking animals:(mouses, badgers, moles etc..). In every book there is a huge battle and it is detailed really good too. I suggest read them in order by the list on the website: [url]www.redwall.org[/url].[/b][/color][/size] [/B][/QUOTE] I was gonna say that, you stole it! :( J/K I'm still gonna pipe in though :cross: I really love those books, :love: , I'm on..Mariel of Redwall, about almost half way through, Lord Rawnblade is watching for Gabool, he's saying that they will meet and he will defeat him, what's up with those badger lords and their lifetime enemies? First lord brocktree(not sure who his was, never read it) then it was his son, Boar the fighter and the one searat, forgot his name, then Sunflash and Swartt, now Rawnblade and Gabool, except he'll hhave to fight Mariel to slay him i think, she wants a piece of him real bad...well, kiddies, to find out more, if this was interesting, READ! hehe, i hope i hooked ya there. :rotflmao: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest szyJYM Posted December 15, 2001 Share Posted December 15, 2001 I'd suggest the Left Behind Series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. A very good series (so far) about people who weren't taken in the Rapture, and how the devil comes to power. If you like end-of-the-world books, read them. And if you like Left Behind, try the Countdown Series by Daniel Parker. It's pretty greusome, but very good. It's about how almost everyone in the world melts (that's right, MELTS) into a black puddle of goo, and the only survivors are teenagers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
