I did hear that they cut some parts out of the official American release.... does anyone know if that's true? ~Dagger~ [/B][/QUOTE] I'm not sure if they cut anything,but I have to say it's pretty good! the characters are rather sexy looking.

[QUOTE] Which also means you shouldn't go around saying "Oh! You're not Christian! I'll pray for you and try to save you!" or "What? You're not Christian? YOU'RE GOING TO HELL!" The above was not directed directly towards anyone, only those who run around saying it. Trust me, it'll only make the people hate you more. On a lighter note....[/QUOTE] Your right, people shouldn't run around screaming your going to hell. Think of it from my prospective, I've been called atheist because I believe in science saying the world was created by an explosion that formed the sun. Even know I actually believe there is a god. People are cruel that?s why the amendments give us a freedom. I know what Wicca is, my sister actually practiced for a long time, but my views are different and I hope people understand that. Also if anyone tells you your wrong for what you believe in you should just tell them ? what if your religion is wrong?? there is no proof anyone?s religion is right so what can they say.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Yume_no_Ryuu [/i] [B]Shonen ai most likely, the manga is more yaoi-ish but still shonen ai really. [/B][/QUOTE] It is, I've seen both manga and anime. both have strong moments but nothing serious...

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by AzureWolf [/i] [B]Yes, they are technically breaking the law, but I'm saying it's not a bad thing. First, the people who own the material don't seem to care all that much because, as I have mentioned before, it helps their business by telling them what's worth porting over and what is just not applicable to a culturally different society. I'm pretty sure I know how helpful fansubbing is (proud fan of fansubbing since I first found out about them :D), so I can vouch for them that they bring good things. You are missing the point: the majority of those people who will d/l an anime and not buy it were never going to buy the anime in the first place. In other words, whether or not they get the anime from the internet, those "leechers" would never even buy the product. Might I add, I admit that I don't buy every anime I watch (hey, Japan doesn't, so why should I? j/k). Japanese people have the advantage with most anime in the sense that most anime series are aired on Japanese Television before being available on DVD or VHS. We don't have the same ability, and previewing/experiencing an anime or manga before buying. By doing so, you can actually determine whether it is worth your money or not. [/B][/QUOTE] No matter how much people want to over look the facts it's still breaking the law. I know a lot about fansubbing and I once was a subber, but I learned how it affects the companies. [QUOTE] Japanese people have the advantage with most anime in the sense that most anime series are aired on Japanese Television before being available on DVD or VHS. We don't have the same ability, and previewing/experiencing an anime or manga before buying.[/QUOTE] Yea they do have the option to view it with out paying, but companies paid the creator to be allowed to air it. Fansubbers are not paying anyone; they are profiting 100% out of this. Fansubbing can be helpful indeed. Fansubbing has actually gotten a few shows licensed I would assume, the problem is when fansubbers sub people view the anime and don't buy it when it comes out. Really I do understand your view I just don't believe in it, I can understand if a anime series has nosign of being dubbed and it's been out a few years, but when subbers take a anime and it's just came out it's making companies not want to buy it because everyone has had a chance to see it.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by AzureWolf [/i] [B]I strongly disagree with this opinion. You have to look at the big picture: Bandai and other big anime distributors are completely aware of the "bootlegging" process, and know already of those "illegal" websites from which you d/l your free anime and manga (hey, if it's on the first page of a google search, do you think it's really well hidden?). So why do they let it keep going? Reason #1: Most fansubbers and translators do only unlicensed anime and manga, and it is hard to take legal action on something you don't have any rights to. They could inform the owners in Japan, but do you think they will care that people are spreading their shows to areas that, without some translation, would be an unrealized market? That brings me to reason #2: Fansubbers and translators are actually a beneficial part of the anime and manga communities. What this gives distributors is, "What will fly," and "what will fail" idea. In other words, they can see the popularity of fansubbed material and, with that information, determine whether an anime is profitable or not. Yes, that isn't the only factor distributors use, but it certainly is one of the biggest. [/B][/QUOTE] no no no! your looking at the picture wrong here. Fansubbers are breaking the law, just because it's not liscensed here doesn't mean it's not in japan. Fansubbing isn't as helpful as you think. Fansubs are on the first page of goggle yes, but so is kazaa and other bootlegging programs. when people download fansubs the majority doesn't go out and buy it when it is dubbed. so the companies lose money. Also you made the comment "people shouldn't pay for fansubs" Well it cost money for the disk so they need some money also, But I would have to say they should be alot cheaper. No matter how hard you try over looking the facts. downloading anime is against the law, your not allowed to but people do it anyways. The people who suffer are the people who are forced to pay more for rasing costs because, companies are not making enough money.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by duorocks17 [/i] [B][color=red] Hello!!! Has anyone ever/even seen Record of Lodoss War? I just watched a couple days ago. It was a good show, and the art work was very beutiful, (for the era it was created, remeber it was a LONG time ago). I also liked the music, which seems to really make the show. I was just wondering if anyone else has heard/watched it, and please share your thoughts! I would like to know!!![/color] [color=blue]Thanks everyone!!! duo!!! :wigout: ]I'm personally a Fan of the ova's, I didn't really watch the whole series so I can't judge it but it doesn't seem to bad.[/COLOR]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Bardock03 [/i] [B]Ummm...sorry I gues... And its "piracy..." [/B][/QUOTE] it was a typo. Piracy stops the companies from getting money! less money=less anime less anime=angry people but I believe their is anime on bittorent but I storngly don't suggest anyone bootlegging .

Doris from Z.o.E because it's possesive and it makes the owner become obsessed with power.

Argh, bootlegging is bad! it stops us from getting future anime!!!!!!!!!!! halt your piracy!

in the berserk anime he had a broken sword and the next second he had more of the broken sword >_< I hope that made sense.....because it doesn't to me.

I want to be a hired assassin when I grow up >_< well not really. I want to own rental property so I can sit around all week and get payed a big lumpsum at the end of the month. Bonus! evicting(sp) people

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Megumi [/i] [B]There are only two supernatural forces, one for good, one for evil. All that is good comes from God, all that is evil comes from Satan, therefore anything that is not from God is from Satan. Wicca, though seemingly harmless, is under that category because it supports idolatry and confuses the ideas of good and evil. It's just another good thing (respect and love for nature) that has been twisted into something wrong. The Bible spoke specifically against sun/moon worshippers, I believe. Another thing, you say you believe in "God," and by that I assume you are referring to the Christian God. However, your ideas show that you couldn't possibly believe in the Christian God because if you did believe in an all powerful being who created the universe, you would realize it's foolish to worship the creation and not the creator. Call it what you want, but this "God" you speak of is not the one I know. I don't know much about Unitarians, except that my youth group leader was one. A very active one I might add. I wish I knew more, but all I know is that she realized what a trap she was in and became a Christian. It wasn't easy for her, and there's quite a story behind that. Drix, for all your Christian arguments, your signature disturbs me. I am aquainted with Jonny the Homocidial Maniac through secular friends, as well as Interview with a Vampire, though I've never read an entire Jonny Comic or seen the Anne Rice movie or read the book, I know enough that they aren't very good influences. Also, the Bible is clear about gay relationships, so why are you in a yaoi fan club? I'm sorry, I don't mean to be critical or to condemn, but that doesn't show the Christian character that you display in your arguments. [/B][/QUOTE] The belief of good and evil is called Zoroastrianism. So when you say right vs. wrong your technically Claiming a different religion.(but I do understand what your saying.) The bible is mistranslated; it's proven in many updates of it. For a fact the bible was written 200 years after Jesus died, so the stories were pasted down many times so I believe they lost lots of the facts in it. Yoai isn't all about hardcore sex, it's about the emotions towards another male, it can be a perfectly nonsexual relationship. We live in a country where we are allowed to choose our own religion, this means if your offended by someone?s religion you don't have to listen to it. Really the only people who don't have freedom of religion is people who live in a dictated country. I don't think there is anyone here who is so we should all just be happy that we can have our own religion.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Eternal Otaku [/i] [B]Ah, but the ending is different! Trust me. The manga and anime have next to nothing the same. If your afraid of spoiled endings fear no more [/B][/QUOTE] generally the endings are not the same, but in some area's I believe it maybe. it will probably be another hanging ending unless the choose to write on.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by anime_guy [/i] [B]well, i hope it gets popuar.... my other friends are kinda stupid... all they like is being itidots and playing football, i like being an idiot, i like sports, but i like lots of other stuff too, unlike my stupid friends... [/B][/QUOTE] Try going to a few conventions near you, you'll find that more people are showing every year.

I personally like kefka, he is so cold and evil and he laughs alot about stupid stuff.

I believe sonic X dub is on Fox......early in the morning I have seen the sub it's ok i'd say.

I haven't gotten a chance to pick it up yet but I have started to read part of my friends >_< it's not bad...... Saddly I know the ending since I seen the show :-/

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by anime_guy [/i] [B]thats what i do, cuz i only have one friend that waches it too... and he doesnt seem to like it as much anymore! :( [/B][/QUOTE] don't worry soon everyone will wish they knew as much as you about it! with the growing popularity of anime in future years we will have alot more people enjoying it,

I have one friend who watches anime, the rest make fun of it constantly saying " 17 and still watching cartoons your pathetic" My one friend who does like anime is in another lunch, so it I try saying anything I hear constant moans and groans. best thing to do is keep it to yourself then talk to your friend later.

This is well needed. saddly if it doesn't live up to ffvi fan's will be upset. Well atleast this will give us a clear reasoning what the heck happened at the end of ffvi.

I just went and seen it, it had funny moments but I kinda called the ending :-/

Ludacris has funny video's but I can't say i'm a fan of him. But I do give him credit for the video's

KoRn- I use to like them but the new stuff isn't that great. Slipknot-Iowa Sucked >_< but the rest of their cd's are good System of a Down- I listen to Soad alot. Marilyn Manson- manson's a woderful artist and I listen to alot of his music. Static X- they have their moments. Nothingface-Only heard a little of them. Murderdolls- not a fan NIN- I stalk trent as a religion. Rob Zombie-he has a few decent songs but half the time I dislike him. Mudvayne- I only like them when they do songs with other people. Metallica- I hate LARS >_<

Nightmare before christmas!!!!! one of my favorites, jack is just amazing. hehe my favorite part of the movie is when the little kid opens the box and find the head!
