Cheers.

anyone excited like me that Astro Boy finally hit theaters. It looks decent. Like an actual good remake. Id like to take a look at the remake of The Three Musketeers also.

It's been Hollywood-ized! It looks fun but the ad highlights the significant cultural changes Astro Boy went through to appeal to the Western market. It looks like it will follow the same line as "The Incredibles".

To sum it all up:

"I got machine guns in my butt!?"

Just saw CENCOROLL an hour ago. I really enjoyed it! It kinda hat that BONES feeling throughout the anime, though BONES didn't make it. Atsuya Uki did an amazing job on it. I really hope the ending was a prelude to another CENCOROLL anime :D

Absolutely horrific:

I'm happy that Hollywood is taking these masterpieces so it can appeal to the Western audience. However, it always seems that they dumb down the characters significantly by turning them into two dimensional personalities. An example is Astro Boy that was mentioned a few posts above. Can you imagine what Motoko and Batou will be reduced to in the Hollywood live action remake?

To be fair, it's only disturbing because we know the intelligence gone into making these influential artworks. To people who have never seen or have a negative reaction to comics since they think it's only for children, the live action remakes can potentially serve as gateways to Masamune Shirow's and other anime/manga authors' works.

Hasn't the anime series ended?

Nope, SHAFT animated up to 15 episodes but the TV scheduling block only allowed 12 episodes to be aired. The remaining three episodes will be streamed online but it seems they are getting postponed because of production issues.

Radish?

yeah, unless everybody gains superpowers or something i don't see how they can defeat theyre current enemy

I'm more interested in finding what happens to Caska.

It looks like that anime is headed to become a cult classic like Suzumiya. I'll wait 'till all the episodes are aired before I jump on it.

Bleach 244 is out. Kenpachi time!

after watching it, pretty good. The fight was not as epic as I was hoping, but hopefully it just started. I loved the ending, where they mention if kenpachi's sword materialized, it would instantly destroy all of soul society lol.

Kenpachi always leaves a path of destruction in his wak:rofl:l: I loved the action/dialogue between him and Byakuy(Y)Y)

Radish?

+1000

Maybe this is a hint that they'll never show Kenpachi release his Zanpuktou :rolleyes:

Na, its something that makes Kenpachi who he is. If he found his bankia, he would be invincible most likely. He's a unique character, and I would hate for them to ruin him by showing some Bankai that doesn't live up to our expectations.

These are the best filler episodes to date, for any anime I have seen. Side stories about characters we wont see again are horrible, but stories that involve main elements of the story and characters, thats the way to go it looks like.

Bakemonogatari is still on top form with the online episodes (Y) Senjougahara made me laugh when she imitated Araragi's voice with her seiyu which sounded nothing like him, poor Hachikuji getting manhandled by Araragi and tense moments between Hanekawa and Araragi as she becomes a cat :laugh:

Preview of Katanagatari at the end of the episode as well.

    • The problem of course is simply that government does not always know best. My point is that agency is taken away from the EU consumer in these cases. I'm sorry, but I do not believe that governments (politicians) are inherently good, and "looking out for me." Primarily they look to themselves and their own personal desires first, foremost, and always. When the EU or the DOJ fines these companies, claiming to "represent the welfare of the consumer," how much of these billion-dollar judgments are handed to the consumers they claim to represent? Not even a dollar, as I've seen. Yet the EUC lawyers who are paid to sit around and dream up these suits make huge commissions on the fines the EUC adjudicates, which is an ironclad fact I hope everyone is aware of. It's also rank corruption, of course, but that's another topic. Last, when the EU inflicts these judgments, or the DOJ, take your pick, the costs are bundled right along in the cost of the goods and services these companies provide the consumers they are "looking out for." If you are someone who believes his government is his savior then you have my condolences. I think Apple is right here, because the whole scheme of consumer choice is that consumers pick and choose among the products companies offer. Microsoft Windows is more compatible with third party software and hardware than any desktop OS on Earth, which is my sole reason for choosing it. Just because the EUC forces companies do certain things it knows the companies do not want to do, "or else", has no bearing on consumer benefit. This Siri thing is almost idiotic it's so infantile. But this is what the EUC does when the EU in Brussels becomes cash-strapped and needs a big infusion of cash. Some people get upset by "big companies" but it's the opposite when governments dwarf the size and scope of these companies, which is so obvious it hurts.... I mean you can't honestly believe that forcing Apple to do things with Siri it has its own reasons to decline is something that "opens up" Apple, do you? Say it aint' so...
    • Looks like many years since the request was made, a directory tree view finally may be added. https://github.com/files-community/Files/pull/18537
    • There's this from last year https://gist.github.com/threat...364659a8887841aa43deca4efd9 but nothing about a buffer overflow that MS somehow can't code against. No matter what, it makes sense to take a "protected by default" approach.
