Yeah, I don't actually remember much of them though, I remember watching them after going through the Macross series, and for some reason I didn't like them that much. Maybe the style of animation, maybe the series serious tone compared to what I'd previously seen. I don't think my score takes any strategical aspects into consideration, back then I was more about action and intensity, and if I remember right this one was a bit boring between encounters.

Don't think I've seen Code Geass, but I liked Death Note. Was disappointed at how it ended, but I liked it otherwise! Whaa... last anime you'll watch? O_o

Would've been better to ask me that a decade ago. :) I really don't remember enough to give any proper critique on this series, watched so much back then that didn't stick. I remember series like Jinki Extend, Macross and Gundam SEED though! Probably appreciated them more.

Cyberdevil 2013-12-23 16:33:28

Yeah, he's definitely the one everybody laughs at. :P I'm siding with the underdogs too, Strawhats > World Government any day!

Like a shower after a Shigurui. Good plan. :)

It'd be something huh? :P

No Skyfall? No Casino Royale? Goldeneye N64 was awesome indeed, though I was thinking Moore of the movies.. ah well, no comparisson there then.

Last Exile: Fam, The Silver Wing? That's another one to see, though shame it wasn't any good!

That's what I meant though, thus the comment on how anime filler arcs don't partake in future plot development of the original series, and so far I haven't seen any filler development for future filler... ah, you mean like that, hope so! :)

lol, I thought I'd build on the building your building till the time the building's built but will's unwilling fillers filling thrills are chilling dill is really green for real. Mind's fuzzy thus I must leave!

Haha, some of the best titles back then!

Which Gundams were the originals? I've probably missed a few.

Well as they say: save the best for last. :) Speaking of last, last anime as in the last you'll watch this year? You're not planning on giving up on anime are you? O_o

Cyberdevil 2013-12-23 20:39:20 (Updated 2013-12-24 02:50:51)

Hmm, I think Aokiji is pretty cool myself... are we going to have a problem here? :L

They're still being made, you know. :P Skyfall came out last year, best Bond movie so far IMHO. I didn't get into the Bond franchise until... well probably less than ten years ago. Maybe you're thinking of Limp Bizkit's 'Take a Look Around' track for Mission Impossible 2? Another great movie franchise btw, doesn't look like that one will end anytime soon either! Back then Limp Bizkit was at their pinnacle too, one of the bands I grew up... don't like the way they're headed now, their new sound way too mainstream.

Well good luck with that! You can do it!

My rhyming skills are declining when at night the time is reaching way past nine, and the sunshine doesn't reach my eyelids. Yet in this land where I live sunshine isn't thankful mileage, each day we get a rise when sun reach sky and it obliges us with shine, but it's not much in time, then sunshine does decline, and thus the fuzz is mine, this fuzzy buzz in mind, no sudden rush of rhyme, maybe D-Vitamin is what I should eat much when I'm, all about filler chapter! Wrote this killer filler after, a morning filled with laughter, I'm up with will to master, my animation skills and make something for: http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1356379

Hmm, Mobile Suit Gundam MS IGLOO from 2004... ah, Mobile Suit Gundam from 1979. An historically important piece! Will definitely watch that too.

New things come out all the time though. I pretty much took a break from anime this year (until now), just following the animes I've always followed... but it seems there's always something to go back to. Both classics and new anime worth keeping up with. Black and white animes! That's new. So you're goal with anime isn't just ample entertainment, it's a quest through the lost ages for unforseable knowledge and cultural advancement?

Cyberdevil 2013-12-24 14:21:20 (Updated 2013-12-25 05:49:25)

Apparently he did, no arguing there. :) I guess an encounter with Luffy will be inevitable sooner or later though, interesting how that'll fare...

Wor.d, most tracks on that album were great. :)
Gold Cobra was OK, some of the tracks like Shotgun really took me back, and I love the fact that Wes has started with guitar solos too, he's a great player. Nah, I'm speaking of their new music: http://youtu.be/wU-d-GuZaxc

Though this time around it doesn't seem so bad, first time I heard it I really didn't like the new style...

Yeah, Korn's new album disappointed deeply. Left me scarred and charred. :/ I like dubstep when it's used properly, but it feels like so many artists are just mizing it into their music to be trendy. Sometimes it's just not the right style.

The collabs are taking over! Soon I'll be overloaded! Not even preloaders can load the load that I be tolling! I hear wise words from Yoda echo like "Get into Todai", but I'm confusing deep, mind is kneeded - lack of sleep, get up to whack the beep, drive deep in tracks or flee, like a dragon I rap my wings and tackle beasts, feast take a bath and beat wings till the track's complete. Then again rest in my den, flame thrower like a sentry. Interesting wiki entry, though it looks empty.

Sounds like the same way I'm watching anime then. :) Yeah, there's always something. Plot and creativity usually go hand in hand, and with bad plot/creativity... who'd want to spend effort animating it. :) True.

Cyberdevil 2013-12-26 10:45:42

I'm sure he'll find a way, probably something to do with haki... seemed to me like defeating Akainu was the main reason he did all that training, so that what happened with Ace would never happen again. Sure it'll be a tough battle.... but without Luffy there wouldn't be much One Piece. :P If he suddenly dies... that'd be the most unexpected thing to ever happen in an anime ever...

How did we get back to Cypress Hill again?? That last track I linked to was Limp Bizkits new one.

Anyway, Dust is great, especially the intro. I love all tracks on that album, both Skulls and Bones, but their mixture of rock and hiphop is the best part of it. Rap Superstar was the first Cypress Hill track I heard, actually through a music video on MTV back in the day I watched TV. So, Rock Superstar is probably my favorite, me and that track share a special bond. :P Apart from that... Get Out of My Head and Can't Get The Best Of Me tie, Dust after that, then the remaining two... not so many tracks. :P I liked their Temples of Boom and Till Death Do Us Part too, especially on that last one there were pretty much no disappointments at all, What's Your Number's on that too... one of few love songs I like!

Yeah, maybe, hadn't heard Thieves before... dope. Ready To Go was OK, though Lil Wayne doesn't really make it better, this doesn't feel like his genre (I like his wordplay usually, but he should stick to regular hiphop). I guess since Limp Bizkit are now signed with Cash Money Records this is their way of telling the world. Pretty unexpected Wayne would sign Limp Bizkit!

Ah, it's time I introduce you to some of the better sides of dubstep then! What do you think: http://youtu.be/46QX2hTGwPs

True. Is it a wiki you are contributing to? Then I loose the crude red line in this diffusive brew, it's poetry in motion, of ozone or of ocean, if you can't take the world outside you know you're good to go home. I throw bones, then fetch them. Cold stone, I etch on. No known nouns just pro-found and dope sounds and lessons. In life, and in rest, but before I rest I jest none: I'll live to the best like I'm blessed with one direction. Yeah!

Oh yeah, there's that too! Sometimes they keep it exciting even when there's nothing going on, like Castle of the Sky, so much exploration, so little doing until the very end. But it was still a fascinating watch. If it's done right..

Cyberdevil 2013-12-26 12:17:03 (Updated 2013-12-26 12:47:41)

Heh, yeah that'd be unexpected. The thing about One Piece is, that all of the main characters have such an elaborate history that I don't imagine Oda would kill of anyone of them, especially not the original crew members (before they crossed the grand line). If anyone, I can imagine Brook, Robin or Franky dying, but it'd be unlikely... ah, surely the manga isn't that far ahead though? Ah well, I'll not tempt the potential spoiler! Will be interesting to see what happens.

Hehe, it happens. :D Yeah, the first three were definitely the best ones IMHO, each one had a unique style as well... come to think of it, they've changed their style a bit with every album so this shouldn't such a surprise. I'd love to hear some of the less structured tracks they had on Three Dollar Bill Yall again, it was chaotic in a good and pretty different way, and that 11 minute outro!!! Them times. :) Great tracks all of those.

I feel like his voice or maybe more so his laid-back style is what doesn't fit with the intensity in these tracks particularly... yeah, I agree, and he doesn't seem to put a lot of effort into each track, but on the other hand he's great with words, so good at making up similes and metaphors, just a shame he mixes them in with so much filler verse. :/

lol, yeah Keygen music is always surprisingly catchy! :D Glad you liked, and it goes to show there's some talent involved with dubstep too, swapping so many different samples must require sooo much practice! Indeed.

Oh, your admins both of you! That's dope you two, so true, I hope It'll blow the roof like loads of emotes and Yoda truths. I guess I'll stare in fear at the blank page till I hear it's clear to go there and see what there appears.

Like... which animes? So much cake! I haven't seen any anime with that much cake! Plenty of melon bread though, I've been wanting to bake some myself, seems pretty exotic. Are you thinking of series like Maria Sama Ga Miteru? Touch? Those were a bit boring...,

Cyberdevil 2013-12-26 20:00:48 (Updated 2013-12-27 05:02:59)

lmao. Yeah Zoro's been at the brink of death quite a few times, Luffy too, but I believe they'll get through it! So far they always have.

Maybe they can't, maybe they won't, maybe they... (forgetting lyrics to some randomly recalled Three Dollar Bill track).

Bling-bling is a pretty noteworthy accomplishment, a catchy phrase in the rapping phase of these happy days! Well it's at least waaay better than Drake's YOLO... and I wonder who came up with swag... annoying words.

At least not all songs. :P I've only listened to a couple of albums, I think. His collaborations with Eminem weren't bad at all though.

Double the fun! :D

With the roof off-blown we'll regroup off home and recoup with our group till our roofs back on! Search our roots like Gnomes, eat fruity fruits and phone all those we knew at the time the roof flew off dome. I hear you loud and clear, the sound of a roof seering, tearing, no fruit-bearing more nightmarish scary fearful appearance. I'll await the moment like I'm watching for my watch time, like wash time, it's not a time I look for on my watch but I'm: expectaint.

Cool.

So.. why did you watch it again? :/ Opening does look pretty promising: http://youtu.be/z7o7emL40jM

So none of that actually happens in the anime?

That sounds pretty generic indeed... I'm tempted to watch it just because there seems to be no incentive, yet the ratings aren't so low so there must be something...

Cyberdevil 2013-12-27 05:34:18 (Updated 2013-12-27 06:16:12)

Oh yeah, that doesn't sound completely unlikely... though I'm thinking that he'll win the war against the world government instead, and together with all his allies both within and outside the law, he'll pave a way to a brighter future for everyone, not necessarily an anarchic age, but considering the lost age, it seems the World Government has done some terrible things in the past, and the current leaders aren't fit to rule the world any longer. And then there's Dragon... wonder if the revolutionary army will play any larger roles in future years of the series... the wait will be long no doubt. :)

Yeah, it's all his fault! It's this track that started it all: http://www.youtube.com/v/BYDKK95cpfM

Woah, that's motivation enough! Ghost in the Shell looks like the most notable merit on that list, though I need to watch a few more on the masterworks on that list...

Good knowing.

IOW it's a series for those with that kind of fetish... or maybe it's a way of breaking the stereotype, showing that it's not all about appearance. Anyway, it's on my list now, I'll let you know what I think when I've had the time to skim (or if it for the unlikely doesn't seem to be a time-waster, fully watch) through it. Just found out about a Bollywood series of movies I also really need to see btw... Dhoom! :D Three moves so far, and the series looks promising...

Cyberdevil 2013-12-27 13:20:05

Haha, OK, thanks for the heads up! So far it's all just my theory confirmed. :) Guess something's going to happen pretty soon then, though first: filler arc!

IDK man! Because YOLO? :P

Hmm, interesting way to put it...

Old people too! That's a... strange crisis. As for plot, maybe it's breaking the stereotype that an anime needs a plot to be good, or maybe, paradoxically: trying to break the stereotype that an anime doesn't need to be bad just because it has no plot? Well I don't know why I'm theorizing without even having watched this... seems like there's a built in barrier for skimming through the series to only watch the vital parts, in that the vital parts are spread out and hard to find while skimming. :/

Yeah, that's something! Thanks, so far I've gotten around to... adding watch list titles to my site lol,

Have you watched/heard of Folktales from Japan? Seems like a fun way to learn about culture and tradition.

Cyberdevil 2013-12-30 15:30:03 (Updated 2013-12-31 06:27:10)

Happy New Year! 2014 is going to be awesome. Wasn't expecting pretty much all anime series I'm following cept Hunter X Hunter to skip this weeks episode though, seeing as it's vacation and all I was kinda looking forward to those. O_o

Yeah, YOLO LABO (lives all but once, recently invented acronym)

Good knowing, and yeah, there's a surplus of school of life in the school of life. :) I like slice of life anime though, as long as it amounts to something. I want to be inspired!

The worst anime I've ever seen btw is probably A.Li.Ce. Plot wasn't so bad I guess, but the CG effects were just... unearthly! I mean hellish. Ugh.

Good to hear! Hmm, there's truth to that, maybe he wasn't as powerful, maybe their love wasn't as powerful... sounds like I might need to watch it again though, not remembering the wooden swords at all!

Saw Dhoom, Dhoom 2 and Rowdy Rathore this weekend btw. Getting into the Bollywood groove! :)

Yeah, I wish I'd watched more shows like this as a kid, watching them now just isn't the same... even it's all new knowledge!

Cyberdevil 2013-12-31 15:42:48

Did they take a break with the manga as well? That makes me think of One Piece, so it must be awesome! :D Trailer looks great too, fast-paced and tense, with a mixture of traditional and futuristic elements. Hmm, you are waiting for the anime or manga?

swag = Super-wrong acronym gumabob

Well if it amounts to something, then it breaks out of monotony. If the characters all start out regular, gain something, evolve/bond/etc, do something and/or become something and finally: get somewhere, then I am inspired! I'm inspired by the progress from regularity to superiority I guess, stuff that makes you think = anybody can get somewhere! :D

Hmm... description doesn't seem that bad, but if you say it's lolicon then OK, I believe you! Age rating too so I guess there's something pretty wrong with it...

Sounds logical.

Haha, that must be the longest chase scene I've ever watched, and that fight's awesome... still haven't really figured out which parts they use wires for, which are effects and which are all real, but they're way better than Hollywood at getting the most out of their action scenes. The eighties forever. :) I'll probably be watching Singham sooner or later... looks like it's from 2011 too, just one year before Rowdy Rathore. The officer there also had a curly mustache, hmm, could it be... that all police officer superheroes in Indian movies have curly mustaches? O_o

Not yet! Shingeki no Kyojin's on my watchlist now though.

Haha, pretty cool! :D Well I don't laugh much so... oh no, hold up, I chuckled... :/ Is it original though, or just a dance scene dubbed to the music?

Yeah, Western culture doesn't really look up to Bollywood culture. I'm digging it though, it's not always the most realistic but it's fun! The action's still full of stunts, the actors aren't bad, some of the dances are pretty catchy too... they really liven up the mood with those! Aaanyway, Dhoom was better than I expected, Rowdy has pretty good, just watched Don now which had a surprisingly clever criminal-thriller plot, and I'm watching Don 2 right now. Will let you know if I stumble upon some masterpiece that'll prove once for all that Bollywood is on par with their American counterpart in everything... not just dancing and martial arts choreography. :) Speaking of that Bollywood Superman version, I've got to see that one too!

The second one was pretty cool! First one..., don't have the patience to settle into their pace right now, but it seems like good fun. Filmbilder means movie pictures in Swedish btw, what a coincidence huh! :D

Cyberdevil 2013-12-31 17:27:17

Ah, K. Look forward to the movie!

Short version of thingamabob, couldn't think of a suitable G word. :) Though, I realize now... I mis-spelled gamabob!! ARGH!

I used to, even though I found them rather pointless I loved to watch them, it took some forceful thinking to break free from the habit, because after all, there are more important things to do with life than to follow the life of someone else... IMO.

Haha, same type of mustache but definitely not the same face. :) In Rowdy Rathore the same guy plays two guys btw, not that it's relevant or anything... and coincidentally I watched Don right after that, where the main character always plays a dual set of alter egos.

The giant people seem interesting though, and fluid animation, it looks like it'll be worth watching. Good mention even without intention. :)

Guess I'll have to do the research then! They have all kinds of parodies and clones on American movies, probably vice versa too though... ah, found it: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0297416/?ref_=ttpl_pl_tt

So far I've only watched a blatant remake of Memento and something like Robocop. Both great movies on their own though. Oh, and the Dhoom series is clearly copying some ideas from the original Fast and Furious movies. Oh man lmao, the old Batman movie was awesome! :D The plastic sharks, hmm, Catwoman... not bad! Have you seen the 1977 version of Spider-Man? Another classic.

Definitely, I love Chinese martial arts movies, or Japanese, or Korean, where genuine skill and crazy stunts go hand in hand. Have we talked about that before? I could list a ton of Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao, Tony Jaa, Donnie Yen etc movies here buuuut... maybe I already have? Or maybe you are already aware of all the awesome classic martial arts flicks out there?

Yeah, I meant the channel you're watching having some Swedish origin... that's a coincidence!

Cyberdevil 2013-12-31 21:58:08

Clear as the the grand void you avoid!

Haha, yeah, but only the best ones. :P Speaking of One Piece laughter, so many villains have laughter derived from a single word. even Ceaser and Breed, it's getting too much lately! I need to hear some normal laughter!! :C

lol, at least in the movie they payback twice. :P

Aha. Speaking of horror, just got my hands on a supposed horror manga (for Christmas): Uzumaki. Ever read that? Also a segment out of Rebirth, was surprised to read that one's Korean! Anyway, good reading.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It's Indian Superman! :D

But that character you described is precisely why he's so much easier to relate to, I suppose. Does Aquaman have a movie? If so, I should watch that before I judge. Personally my favorite superhero is... The Phanom. :P And that was a great movie too IMHOBNMO! Superheroes without mutant powers FTW!

As for the 1977 Spier-Man movie, you can clearly see how they hang onto ropes and handles on the walls and stuff, no effects. :)

Oh! OK! New topic for discussion opening up! Have you seen Meals on Wheels, Ong-Bak, Ip Man, Legend of Drunken Master, Fatal Contact, Hard Boiled, The Protector, Dragons Forever, Operation Condor, Project A, Police Story, Time and Tide, Born to Fight, Tiger Cage and Flash Point? Just throwing a few memorable titles out there...

Yupp. :)

Cyberdevil 2014-01-01 16:25:28 (Updated 2014-01-02 03:45:52)

You mean space as in the space around us, between this place and outer space, this inner space? If you mean outer space, I hear it makes you implode if you get to close.

Characteristic laughter is fine, it's just the laugher-derived-from-specific-sounds thats starting to annoy me a bit. You know, that gero-gero-gero or that ish-ish-ish-ish or the ahsh-ahsh-ahsh-ahsh or the harr-harr-harr-harr or... what was Breed's laughter like again? It's been too long since the last episode... well you could say even Luffy and Brooks laughter are sound-based but their at least somehow more normal-sound-based, and the rest of the crew at least seem to have normal laughs. There are plenty of characters with normal laughs!

Oh, something to look forward to reading, then! Good knowing.

Yeah!(?)

Seems like all newer superheroe movies plays on personal tragedy and self-pity though, Batman, Superman... the bigger titles. So if he was more self-confident it would be OK? That would be good, would be like the movies of old, the grand action heroes of the eighties! :D Speaking of which: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kungfury/kung-fury

Aquaman's not a mutant? Btw, is The Shadow a Marvel creation too? I could look this up of course but it seems easier just asking...

Awesome.

Ong-Bak & The Protector (strikes me I should've mentioned which one, there's a movie with this title for both Jackie Chan and Tony Jaa - I meant the Tony Jaa version) are both with Tony Jaa, intense Thai action with plenty of crazy fights and no wires, special effects, etc. It pretty much looks as real as it is! Cept for some of the supposedly lethal weapons. Also Chocolate. Ong-Bak 2 and 3 were a bit disappointing, despite great action scenes; The Protector 2 should be coming out soon... hope they've learned from their mistakes and it's something to look forward to!

As for Fatal Contact, any movie with this guy is amazing: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0943104/?ref_=tt_cl_t1

Tiger Cage and Flash Point were both Donnie Yen movies (Ip man) one of the most versetile martial artists I've stumbled across. Few more noteworthy movies with him: Iron Monkey, Killzone, Wing Chun... IMDB lists tons of Chinese titles that I don't recognize, hard to filter out favorites but he's great.

As for Born to Fight, it's another Thai action, non-stop fighting! And much better than Raid Redemption IMHO.

I have a very badly maintained list of movies that I should start updating again... lately I've just been writing reviews for movies I've liked, not listing them. Anyway, here's the old one: http://cyberd.org/m/

That's pretty much how my anime list used to look too before renovation, though just the list of scores, not other pages. I'm missing out a lot of titles I watched before I started with the list too, most of which I don't remember so it'll forever be incomplete!! Haha, great idea! How many Jackie Chan movies did you manage? I think he passed the 100 movies mark just a while back. I love the ones he did back in Hong Kong, not so much the ones he made in Hollywood, maybe because of his bad English accent he doesn't seem as serious as he could... or something. But Rush Hour was great, there are some exceptions... Gods Must Be Crazy... that one doesn't have any martial arts at all does it? Strange finding that here! Twas much fun though.

Cyberdevil 2014-01-01 20:11:08

Haha, looks awesome! :D Thanks for the tip! Better not start watching too soon though or I'll be waiting for new episodes each week.

Cyberdevil 2014-01-02 14:07:22 (Updated 2014-01-02 15:15:13)

That's a dangerous place... outer space. O_o

Ah, that's it, petototototo... I really prefer the hahahahaha. :P There is normal laughter in One Piece! Proof: http://youtu.be/9XtvRAUgdQg

Well in that particular clip the laughter turns weird after a while but finding a clip with just a regular character laughing seems a bit difficult...

lol, yeah!

But Kung Fury hasn't been done before! I'm not so hyped up about all the special effects, I'd have liked it better if it stayed true to the eighties by also arranging massive explosions crashes and crazy stunts for real, not just on a green screen. It's a bit dissapointing that even the office was staged... but looking at the trailer, I think I'll like it anyway. :) It'll be one of those movies I enjoy, yet all the same wish they'd have made use of its full potential. Haven't seen any Godzilla movie so far that I've liked, maybe some day...

Oh, OK! Shame about the buffing. Makes me think about buffering. Shame about all the buffering too.

Interesting! Sorry about the additional research, I'd have looked it up myself if I knew you didn't know the breadth of all these American superhero characters. I'm not a fan, I just stumbled across the movie (from 1994) a while back and was surprised to see all these similarities to... The Phantom. :) Yeah he is a bit like Batman as well, but I'd say even more like the Phantom in that: he has a network of people working for him that keep him updated about the workings of the underworld, he's mortal and he doesn't use any advanced technical equipment in his battle but rather relies on training and skill. His history as a bad man does remind of Batman though, and he is a darker kind of character. well you know now!

Yeah, the Jacke Chan Protector was a bit disappointing. It was one of those early Hollywood movies where he was forced to adapt to the new industry and couldn't bring his own style with him, though I hear there's a Hong Kong version of the movie with some additional stunt scenes to make up for what he deemed unnecessarily brutal battles (like being held at chainsaw-point) in the American one! Woah, I didn't know the RZA were involved! That's awesome. I was also surprised to see Tarantino on the cover of the movie, but I guess he's just helping the movie reach a Western audience. I don't think he was actually involved in production.

Haha, don't get your hopes too high. the fights are great but it's not flawless. :) Ong-Bak was better IMHO, much more low-budget but a bit grittier, more realistic, more emotional.

I didn't know that! Interesting. Have you seen the sequel, Ip Man 2?

I wouldn't remember half of those titles if I hadn't written them down. :) Speaking of that Jackie Chan marathon btw: http://cyberd.org/jackie-chan-man.html

Oh yeah, that Street Fighter battle is awesome! :D City Hunter is probably one of my favorite comedies too, but he didn't speak any English in it so it's really not the accent that helps the humor. If you've watched the dubbed version, that's not Jackie speaking at all.

Cyberdevil 2014-01-02 14:10:22

Woot!

Yeah I'm stuck on those, and I can't do anything about it. :P Series that air out in less than a year are easier to wait on. It takes less time to watch a few episodes in a row than to watch them independently... if you have the time to watch them in a row at a single point in time, that is.

Cyberdevil 2014-01-02 17:19:44

lmao, yeah that's an exception. :) Most of the characters have normal laughs, and I don't mind Luffy sounding a bit like Scooby Doo... because I loved that show when I was little!

I think I've seen 3 or 4 of them, I remember the old goofy one, the more modern one and the Jack Black version... but none of them are movies I'd watch again. All were entertaining, but not imaginably memorable somehow. Not as tragic as they could have been either. Even though the 1954 version from Japan... it wasn't that great (I shamefully admit). :/

OK! All good then!

Eh... well I wasn't thinking about the mortality aspect, it's just that The Phantom/Shadow are both considered immortal, even though they're not, whereas Batman doesn't have that same myth surrounding him. Or maybe he does? Well I have no idea, guess the main difference is just all that advanced technical equipment and weaponry. Batman's like a modern version of Phantom/Shadow... with some differences.

Huh? But I thought you liked Grave of the Fireflies and Barefoot Gen? There are tons of human drama in those (still haven't watched the latter though)! Well I mean emotion as in: when they fight, it's about life and death; when he decides to get his Elephant back, he really gets his Elephant back. In Ong-Bak there's some more tragic/emotional scenes, but it's all tragedy that enforces the fight, if you get what I'm saying? Like in that Street Fighter anime you recommended earlier that seems to be a part of sudden (temporary I hope) memory lapse. :/

They're both phenomenal. :)

Thanks! I like writing so I try to put my interests to good use. :)

But in that specific film he doesn't have an accent, so the accent can't help! Well obviously he has an accent... I mean his English accent, the other one's perfectly fine. There's certainlty another form of comedy in his facial mimicry and how he emphasizes different words, but I think the accent holds him back from truly letting out all that contained comedy!

With a normal life I'm sure it is, however, my life is abnormal and I have these large chunks of time every day that I can freely distribute between work and other things... often with the result that I don't get as much work done as I should, but on the other hand: it's easy to fit in anime marathons and such events if planned well. :)

Naaaah, that wheezy laughter? It is similar, but Luffy laughs sharper IMO... I can't find any Scooby Doo laughs like the one I'm thinking of though, all potential clips have the short version of the laugh. :/

Yupp.

Only the animated one though?

Drama: an exciting, emotional, or unexpected event or circumstance. :P I don't appreciate corny drama either, except maybe... in Bollywood movies! Ah, yeah, Tough should be easy to remember. :) Shootfighter Tekken was what I was trying to recall... I was thinking more of the drama in the flashbacks, like how both his main opponents have some traumatical childhood baggage as reason for their fight, how the dad ends up in the hospital etc.

Doesn't have to be perfect, but a less-slurry more Bruce-Lee-ish one would be better IMO. :)

Yeah, that's the way I see/feel/experience it! And I've been wasting time checking sites for the latest One Piece episode way too many times this past week too, that's a shippable effort.

Haha, I can't prove it man! Some day I will present you with evidence that will make you believe. :P

Hmm, do any superheroes actually die, apart from The Phantom?

Yupp, in Bollywood everything is possible!

Right, and the Manga goes under just the latter so that'll be easy to look up if you ever forget, I meanif I ever forget, it seems like you don't forget! or... maybe you do. :P Sounds like the anime might be a bit different from the manga, in the anime version the father took his eye during their latest match, and it was all but an accident. During the fights all kinds of traumas from the past come flashing by, and partially steer the outcome of it all. Kichii's father doesn't fight at all in the anime version, is this really the same one? Or maybe the anime's just a glimpse into the story. Ah, K, some similarities at least.

Ah no, he did no comedy, though he did know comedy. :P Watching old interviews he seemed like a pretty funny guy... it's just he has the perfect Chinaman accent, he sounds like a Chinaman - yet he's not stumbling over the words, he knows what to say, you know? Jackie gets stuck on stuttering and slurring and forgetting words all the time, but hmm, that's not the accent after all, that's just lingual limitations. My bad.

That's a looong list of shows! Nice. I usually go though individual fansubs to get my episodes, you can see the links in the sidebar on that anime page. Though one or two may be a bit outdated...
