Who cares about the actors? They haven't even discussed casting issues yet. I just want to see the special effects by WetaWorks.

For the uninformed, WetaWorks did ALL the special effects for the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Their next film project has giant robots invading NY in a world of tomorrow. The film stars Jude Law, Angelina Jolie, and Gwneth Paltrow. The trailer is up and it looks freaking SWEET. If this is what they can do, I can't wait to see how they will accomplish the EVA battles.

here's a site that's dedicated to the NGE movie:

I hope you guys realize which studio is creating the special effects and whatnot. I couldn't be more happier!

Comcast DOES carry it. However, it's only available on digital cable. If you don't have digital, you're SOL.

UPDATED:

Anime Network is currently offered through Video on Demand (VOD) via Comcast, Cablevision, RCN and Time Warner in these CA cities:

Carmel, Chatsworth, Garden Grove, Gardena, Los Angeles and San Diego.

New titles I'm aiming to screen at Fanime next year....hopefully they won't get licensed before then.

-Cinderella Boy (new anime from Monkey Punch)
-F-Zero
-Yami to boushi to hon no tabibito (Traveller Yami, Hat and Book)
-Gunslinger Girl

i have a friend who has a copy of vampire hunter d on ....BETA....:eww:..... :shock:

Beta is still widely used in the entertainment industry. If you compare beta and vhs tapes, beta is actually the better quality. One of the reasons why beta was phased out of mainstream was because it was expensive. Vhs is actually a cheaper medium to use, however the quality isn't as good.

[different]

Rurouni Kenshin is the japanese name. When the oav was licenced, they changed the name to Samurai X, but when the tv series was licenced, they produced that under the original name "Rurouni Kenshin." This is how I understand it.(at the moment)

Simple answer: TV and OAV were licensed in the USA by 2 different companies. Media Blasters took control of the TV series and had chosen to keep it's original title. ADVision had later announced ownership of the OAV titles. Therefore, ADVision couldn't infringe upon the same name since 'Rurouni Kenshin' was copyrighted by Media Blasters first. Hence the name change.

Man, you guys are all anime babies!

My first crush was Keith from Voltron waaaay back in the mid-'80s.

You can find the Wizard magazine at ANY comic shop. It's a must!

some of those titles i can't find on those torrent sites?  i assume they're licensed or something?

yes, these titles are licensed but are still available as fansubs on very few sites:
inuyasha
yukikaze
witch hunter robin
wolf's rain

oh ya, just talked to ken (saw him @ family billiards of all places), he's puttin' his bike back to street.

ken's always at family. then again, i used to hang out there almost on a daily basis... :roll: . ken and i've known john and his gf (tracey) for awhile now, they used to work full time at family's bar. he's the guy with the purple gixxer 1000.

btw, you coming back to staff fanime next year?

Wow! Someone else who ended up watching something by accident and loved it! lol

I went to watch....something. I dont remember what, but it had been switched for Scrapped Princess and I am SO glad it did! Oh my GOD that anime was so freaking incredible in just those four episodes, I have to get the rest now ^.^

Do you remember what the series was about??

he's selling his bike??!?!?! :shock:

i haven't spoken to that fool in a long time...he's soooooo whupped by his GF.

haha...you're just as bad as Ken...

i've been out of the loop for a while and since i'm not riding my bike, need to kill some time.

:shock: !
You're not riding your bike??? Did you get into another accident?

Asagiri No Miko is correct! Opening and ending songs are sung by the infamous Megumi Hayashibara, she is the older sister to the main character.

Torrent isn't working for you??

I LOVE torrent! What sites were you going to for torrent files??
This is a highly recommended site:

http://anime.mircx.com/

Other than that, try using WinMX and sign up for an account to http://www.animefantasia.com/ to use with the program. (P2P)

If not that, try the old fashion: efnet IRC channels.

I heard from a reliable source of mine....it started at AX sometime after 1997, but before 2000....I'm still trying to clearify exactly which year it had happened though...97,98, or 99...?? :? It happened either at the same year as Fanime, or the year before.

In the video rooms, are you allowed to grab a chair and stack it on top of another so you can see the screen?
(I got away with it this year once!)

No, that is a huge no-no. That is a safety policy. Unfortunately, we did not have enough staff to watch over the video rooms properly.
