Cool sig Spike, i see you like anime. I like anime, but I have been getting more into the live action shows lately.

Yeah, gotta love the anime

. I tend to like more of the adult action anime over just about anything else though. I like Ghost in the Shell and Cowboy Bebop. Vash is good too

When you guys talk about anime, are you talkiing about porn-type cartoons with asian/Japanese girls, etc.? Or is there some kind of anime action series or some such? I've always wondered what this anime craze is all about. Is it some kind of action-hero thing you're referring to?

If I may try and answer, because I have limited knowledge because of disdain

Anime is s Japanese style of drawing animated cartoons. It was around when even I was a kid. Speed Racer, Tobar the 8th man.

Manga is a style of comic, as far as I can tell drawn in the anime style. (Manga may refer to the type of comic or more specifically the type of story. I'm not real sure)

hentia is the porn-type drawing you were talking about. Doe-eyed girls getting it on with temtacled space creatures.

I'm sure someone else here can give you a better explanation

Your right dukie, it's japanese animation, and manga is japanese comics.

Hentai is the porn animation, doesn't always have to be tentacle monsters though.

Classic example of Anime:
Sailor Moon

Better subtitled, the dub is just awful.

Something New:
Transformers: Galaxy Force

The newest Transformers show, it's pretty good.

Ok, understand now. But I have to tell ya, Solo, if the Sailor Moon skirts were any shorter, they'd be hats.

lol, you should have seen the ones they wore on the live action show. There were panty shots everytime they jumped or moved basically.

Then head over to www.tvnihon.com.

They have it all subbed, eps 1-49 and the Special Act. You need BitTorrent to get it, I recommend useing Azureus.

The show is a little cheesy during the fight scenes, but the drama and story is pretty good. A lot of people don't like it, but I don't think they really gave it a chance, I think they are trying to compare it to the anime, but it really goes off in it's own direction.

Man - This new interface is very very slick.

It's alot like watching an old episode of Silk Stalikings - lots of visual eye candy to enjoy.

How the heck can I set this up on another server (totally not related to quake)?

Nice - glad to see that we are back up.

Thanks!!!!

Hi Habib!

You can download the forum software for free here:
http://www.simplemachines.org/

It's written in PHP, and requires access to a MySQL database. It was extremely easy to set up though.

We added this "theme" on later. You can download different themes (i.e. skins) for the board. This one is called Helios. You can get it here:

Regards,

Well that's about the closest explanation I have seen. Anime and Manga are the exact same thing, only anime is animated...so anime is short for animation. Manga is the actual style that the cartoons are drawn in, it doesn't always have to be comics but that's what its most popular form is. There are also manga books and novels and such but the comics are by far the most popular form of manga off the tv.. Hentai is the same thing as the previous two only it pertains to cartoon pornography and a few other forms of adult cartoon.

That's about it. Why the craze? Well most anime is vivid and full of action.
Not all of anime however is "kiddie" (otherwise I wouldn't be watching it) some of it has an adult theme and appeals more to the older public like Ghost in the Shell or Cowboy Bebop, in fact some of it's so far out there you would have to be part of the older public just to understand it or to understand the theme/idea behind it.

Might I suggest a few I like for people to check out.

Boogiepop Phantom - Very strange and sometimes hard to follow.
Excel Saga - Makes absolutly little or no sense but you can't stop watching.
I, My, Me ! Strawberry Eggs - Strange name, but very good story.
Steel Angel Kurumi - Very good story about a boy who inadvertently wakes up an android with a kiss. WARNING: Some nudity on this one, and if you listen to the English dub a lot of cussing from one of the characters.
Princess Nine - About a girls baseball team in a male dominated sport in Japan.
Love Hina - A guy trying (unsuccesfully) to get into Tokyo University, he becomes the manager of an all girls apartment building.

I like a lot more but I don't want to make the list too long, I encourage people to check some of these out, you might like something.

spikeq2 · « **Reply #28 on:** March 12, 2005, 11:03:45 PM »

I have seen a few of these...they are not bad. Nothing I would spend money on lol but something I wouldn't mind watching again. However I do plan on getting my hands on a copy of the original Ghost in the Shell, preferably without the dubbing, just the subtitles

Also, for those who do like anime, check out the international channel (if you have it, check your cable listings), they often show lots of different anime cartoons in their original form, with and without subtitles.

enjoy,
Happy Fraggin

***Update***

I also forgot to include G4- Tech TV. Though I personally don't like the fact that TechTV was taken over by G4, they still air a show called "Anime Unleashed" where they showcase may different anime cartoons. So if you can't manage to keep up with the ones on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim or the International Channel, check this out as well.
