    Infinitum, You are correct sir!
    I was kinda hoping a random nub would be quicker to post.
    This lil question was really just a race against time, to see if any forumites could beat Inf to the punch, clearly, I overestimated them...

    but dahm, Its hard to beat a 6 minute response.

    That's because Hayao Miyazaki is a sexy movie writing beast, and we should all have a greater appreciation for his collective works. Laputa especially.

    I can't wait for his new one coming out in 2004, Howls Moving Castle.

    Everyone needs a hobby or two. Some people collect dvd's and others like to throw rocks. The funny thing is that the guy who runs or throws rocks is just as satisfied and happy with his life as the guy who uses 500e/month on dvd's <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Example: Has playing made our lives any better or us happier, than the guy who doesn't play but reads free books in library instead? No, he might be even happier.

    Ok Inf, I have a game for you, I'll describe an Anime show (which I really love) and you have to guess the name.

    A 16 year old girl falls down an old well and finds her self in Old Japan, where she meets a half demon half human, who she later falls in love with.

    Its even currently on TV where I am!
    Maybe too easy.

    Heres a harder one.

    2 long time rivals return to a planet that they grew up on.
    They are both test pilots for experimental fighter jets that can transform.
    They are both thrown for a loop when the girl they were both in love with comes to the planet also.

    Then its one of the Macross series. Generally every one of those series had the same storyline so being that vague is somewhat... lame?

    Yeah I know,
    Macross Plus was the one I was talking about.

    Ok Otto wants to be apart of this too I see.

    Ok heres one that I saw at a friends house that I really though was well done, not very action packed but had a good story!

    A young girl goes away to learn how to become a mage, like her mother was.
    Majic is common in this world and some ppl try to become wizards if they have the powers. The girl stays with her teacher and slowly learns how to use her powers; her tests involve her granting ppls wishes. She meets a boy who loves soccer but can't play anymore due to an accedent that took his leg, she trys to help him with the majic. Her signature majic is a Dolphin.
    She has shot black hair with 3 odd hairs that stick up on her head.


    I don't know how to be more persise without giving it all away.

    I'm not real big into anime so you stumped me there. Basically the series I've seen are the americanised stuff on TV and the "must see" stuff, slayers, NGE, lain, etc.

    Ok, Lets see if the Nubs can respond faster than Inf!
    These questions are listed in order of difficulty, Easiest to Hardest.

    1)This Miyazaki film stars a flying Pig.

    Name the Film

    2)The main Characters of this series were defeated by the contents of a refrigerator that at one time contained a Ganymede Rock Lobster.

    Name the series. (Hint: Even non-AnimeFiends have probably seen at least some of this series)

    3)This Character converts an amusement park Bonta-Kun costume into a suit of powered armor.

    Name the Character and the Series.

    Inf, I realize these may be relatively easy, the question is, Can the nubs beat you to it?

    Could you make number two any easier? Please. Pick some more obscure stuff. As for the other two I dont know, for 1) I dont care for Miyazaki films, and 3, I don't know, but for a complete shot in the dark, card captor sakura (no clue why =X )

    Not even close.

    Yes, I realize that 1 and 2 are nub friendly, but that is why they are there.
    And notice, you did not answer either of them...

    *Backs slowly away from the anime people*

    j/k

    I have begun (due to having met a very nice anime freak in my computing class) to learn some of the nuances of anime. In my studies so far I have learned:

    1. Lens flares can never be used to often or too much
    2. Strongbad was right about the blue hair (inside joke)
    3. The Japanese REALLY like big robots [/understatement]
    4. Robots the size of skyscrapers, despite being the size of skyscrapers are usually really fast and/or can fly
    5. A female character must remove her clothing at least once in every episode (i never said this was a bad thing <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> )
    6. Japanese-to-English translators are dumb. Yes, I know that Japanese has a completely different gramatical structure, but that sentance made no sense!
    7. Some anime's are absolute poop, yet I am strangely compelled to watch the next one anyway
    8. Due to the above, I suspect anime contains subliminal messaging

    but I still have yet to see a series the whole way through. Can anyone recommend a good series for teh anime nubz0r?

    NOT EVANGELION!!!!

    Try something like Cowboy Bebop, its a little less brain intensive....
  • Nil_IQNil_IQ Join Date: 2003-04-15 Member: 15520Members

    Why not Evangelion? That's the one i've actually seen the most of so far (and which I have another four unwatched episodes of).

    Are you saying Evangelion is brain intensive? Granted I don't get why the Eva pilots have to be fourteen, but Brain intensive? At least it doesn't have tentacle rape....

    *edit* Or it could be that I haven't got to the "brain intensive" part yet...*edit*
  • VenmochVenmoch Join Date: 2002-08-07 Member: 1093Members
    Dude, you are still on the "Happy Big Robot Anime With Humor Part"

    About the episode 14/16 mark the series takes a U-Turn (A really, really massive U-Turn) and turns into something much different. Which is very brain intensive. And then theres the crap film at the end of it all <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I don't want to offend any of you anime lovers, but I just can't understand what you find so great about it.
    First, all the movies and series I've seen are just really bad made. It's like still pictures with moving mouths. They repeat scenes all the time and there are loops everywhere!
    Second, the plots, relations and characters etc are so B it's scary!
    If you wan't to look cool in my eyes but can't give up the cute japanese drawings, start collecting manga magazines. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Actually, I've never seen Dragonball Z one singe time.
    I have a friend that has a lot of movies and all of them I've seen are the same. Try to think about it when you watch an anime next time. Tell me one scene in one movie where someone else is moving while someone is talking. Loops don't count.

    Hmm, interesting how my friend only gave me up to episode 14 then, /me wonders if this was intentional... (i've seen up to 10 so far)

    So any others? Possibly more of the "big robots that blow stuff up genre" and nothing too... well... wierd.
