The Manga DVD menus: Who made 'em?

Okay, so I know the Manga Entertainment releases of the original Eva movies catch a lot of crap around here (sometimes deservedly so, sometimes, dare I suggest it, maybe not so much), but I think even the most hardened critic would have to admit that the DVD menus for these releases are, to ...

Anno is probably planning some huge ending with the intent to drive the point to Mexico home. I sure hope so. That's been my prediction since the moment I first saw 1.0 . That said, Anno does seem to have embraced the benefits of capitalism. Just look at the commercial he did for Nissan (Yo...

I am honestly astonished that so many people thought he was serious. Well, so many people that should have known better, anyways.

When discussing my favorite films, I tend to sequester them into three distinct categories: Animation: - The End of Evangelion - Ghost in the Shell and particularly Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence - Akira - Dead Leaves (if you can count that as a movie) - Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuiokuhen (aga...

In 2.0, Kaworu calls Gendo "Father". Could be just in the sense of calling a friend's dad "dad", but Gendo could be Kaworu's father in some other fashion- in being responsible for his creation, perhaps. In which case, the Key of Nebuchadnezzar is probably linked to one o...

Really? I was under the impression that Funimation's various license rescues (e.g. FLCL, Samurai Champloo) all retained their original dubs.

I agree with what you're saying in theory, but I don't think it pans out in practice. Yes, it is possible for a film to establish an emotional bond between characters in a surprisingly short period of time. No, I don't think episode 24 entirely succeeds in doing this. I think the running...

Well, I've heard tell that some anime (e.g. Ranma 1/2, Elfen Lied) have been flat-out rejected for airing on Adult Swim purely on the basis of content. If not the FCC, I don't really know who's in charge of these decisions, but it is a cause of some concern.

A remaster of said Dub with stupid splat sound effects removed is what we need. I'd be down for that, but I would like to see something done about Hyuga's jawdroppingly inappropriate voice or the cartoonishly evil JSSDF soldiers. It's too bad we couldn't have a partial redub, with t...

I think he's a troubled kid, smarter than most, but too self-denying to apply himself. He really does want to do the right thing, but more often than not he has no idea how, and would rather do nothing than plunge into the realm of uncertainty. He values the people around him more than they migh...

@Bagheeera: I was thinking more along the lines of introducing Kaworu a few episodes earlier and developing him gradually as a subplot, but not really having him come into focus or become close to Shinji until episode 24. This could actually work fantastically; Shinji suddenly becoming much closer t...

That's why I think introducing him earlier would be a bad idea. Not so much because I think his handling was adequate (I don't, really) so much as because his showing up earlier would muck up a lot of other stuff -- particularly Asuka's descent, but also the battle with Armisael...

If I recall correctly (as it was a while ago that I attempted this), the image file I had wouldn't work as an avatar, so I uploaded it as a profile pic instead.

Anyway, my point is, Chrono Cross is a neat game and you should play it.
