Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

It's hip to hate on Japanese culture because the recent manga/anime/otaku/cosplay craze has peaked. It's just like KISS in 1982 - and Macs. (sorry for the obscure references to past threads. That's how I roll.)>> ^JesseoftheNorth:
I agree. Lighten up, people! I love you Japan. Don't ever change.>> ^kraun124:
I actually liked it. Not at all the comments I was expecting. Maybe she was just doing it for fun and/or she likes anime. Jaded-ism is getting a little cliche.

That's a sad little 1DK he lives in - with the old stacked manga and the shoddy futons. His dance is a way to break out of that.

I'm a huge fan of Masamune Shirow, and hexapod robots make me think of the Fuchikoma from his Ghost in the Shell manga. Of course, those were loaded with a semi-autonomous networked AI, so they could work independently of a driver... and they had wheels on their feet (which, if I ever get enough money to build a hexapod myself, I would certainly try to add to the design...).

I'm sooo glad Andy is back.

MANGA!

The manga-eyed ones are a whole new level of wtf.

"You have no sense of subtle comedic timing"

Well that's not the case maby i have watched to much comedy + bloody student animations and i am bored to the skull of the same sort of thing. I am very aware of timing aside from the fact it is probably a subjective issue if you were to get an "expert" on the subject I think they would likely come to my conclusion (or maby not ) not that that means annything, I am just pretty sure i can identify good timing based on the nature of the content.

for example the timing used in this might have worked if the animation included more detail in the characters facial expressions or editing of the scene was to make it more dynamic and emphasize the characters mind set If the animator wanted to keep it static maby better use of sound could help out.

The lighting and rending was nicely executed as well as the modaling of the props. I think it was pretty much let down by the character animation maby they did the character in anima style due to lack of talent in character modeling and animation / lack of time.


Its not "BAD" for example if a student made it you would easily give them a 1st its just i don't rate things in acrodence with who produced it i rate it on the grand scale of things that I'm aware of.

so compared to the best student films i have seen and pixar Japanese anima manga this is pretty shitty. But compared to the Average manga/student film this is awesome.

Looks interesting, will check it out. Do you recommend the dubbed or subbed version?
I've only recently developed an interest in Anime. Berserk is my favorite series so far, watched it dubbed. Also enjoyed Cowboy Bebop.

I love this cartoon, but this was one of my favorite episodes. Man, I gotta dig out my Lone Wolf and Cub DVDs and manga now.

Yeah. I never thought I would be either, because I normally don't go for animes that are basically tournament fighting shows. It just grew on me. Now I check for the latest episodes every week, as well as the latest manga chapters. I'm totally fascinated by it. It's even helped me learn a tiny amount of Japanese. I also like how they incorporate Spanish words into the show with the arrancar and Hueco Mundo.

You're into Bleach?

I just read the manga that this is based off of (the American version is titled Apocalypse Meow), and I gotta say, it's pretty good. The manga focuses on the Vietnam war, and is pretty historically accurate, right down to the slang the soldiers used. However,it's not for everyone, as some will find the military stuff boring.

The animated series looks like it will focus on the Iraqi hostage crisis in the 1970s, so I guess it would technically be a sequel. (I'd like it to go that route, since we'd get more character development from the rabbits, now that they're veterans of the Vietnam war.) Oddly, the trailer only shows Perky (Paki) and Botaski, missing the third rabbit, Rats. (Pity. I rather liked Rats.)

Random side note: The Americans are represented by rabbits as a pun on the Japanese word for rabbit, usagi. (Essentially, USA GI.)

First, I have to say that Veggie Tales are awesome!
Second - My daughter has a Manga Bible she got at a friends church - actualy petty cool illustrating!

Third - And this is my main point - Christianity wasn't so much a "cultural innovator" in art, so much as it was a "Dictatorship". Back in the day, The church told you what you could or couldn't paint. You didn't have a choice, they dictated the painting style, the content, everything.

Yeah... predators really get turned on by kids that sound like animated Japanese manga characters.

Nice channel!
Do you want manga in or out? I'm assuming AMVs are out, but what about clips of manga-turned-movie, like Akira or Ghost in the Shell?


Manga has a huge comic following, I don't want to leave it out. I love comics in all forms, while I spend most of my time reading American Books; I'd like the channel to be all inclusive.
