Th-that-that's ridiculous! Tell me you live in Japan. There's no way that type of car will be seen as cool here in the US unless I'm missing out on something.

Yuri has now taken the title of otaku on Neowin, hands down. I like anime but not THAT much.

I'm curious about this now. How much do those cars cost (including the paint job)?

I found some more examples of otakus translating the art onto other types of transportation:

Even bicycles. :p

I live in the UK which isn't too bad on things like that also it'll be something i take to cons and the like my regular car will be a Lancia Stratos.

Haha, the UK does have a crazy ricer culture there so I guess it is acceptable on your side of the pond. Only around 500 of the Stratos were created, how are you manage to get that one?

Hmm, interesting. I was browsing Reddit and stumbled upon these two pics of a user's desktop and desk. Otaku culture = creepy.

Beat this, Yuri.

You haven't seen Melonpan's room have you? :laugh:

Radish?

You haven't seen Melonpan's room have you:laugh:h:

Radish?

/facepalm

Whatever makes them happy I guess. I can't see myself looking into anime as much as I am now when I finish up college. The ecchi school girls just seems ridiculous even now. Japan has a real weird perspective on young adults (females) posing in swimsuits and sell them as "ecchi" mags to adults.

Ah, Japan... You even had trouble putting child pornography into law because of the heavy role the Yakuza and others play in that industry.

He was my Idol :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Watched the second OVA of Denpa Teki na Kanojo. It was decent but it doesn't really beat the complexity of the first OVA. Totally new characters (though Hikaru was bloody annoying as before :/) and less gory action but it delivers with an atmosphere full of mystery, mind games and an unexpected twist at the end (divine retribution :D) (Y)

Character design was really done well and it was great to finally see Ame's face behind that long fringe, she kicked ass being her monotone self :yes:

Radish?

An interesting episode of Bleach, going back in time with Kouga and his Zanpaktou (Y) Is this possibly why Byakuya is trying to uphold his (or the Kuchiki family) pride being alongside Muramasa because of the way Kouga is linked to his family? :unsure:

ghibli-unveils-karigurashi-no-arrietty-the-borrowers.jpg

Studio Ghibli has announced its next movie will be an anime adaptation of famous children?s story ?The Borrowers,? to be entitled Karigurashi no Arrietty with a theatrical release due in 2010.

The movie will be an adaptation of Mary Norton?s famed ?Borrowers? series of children?s novels, begun in 1952, which describe the adventures of a race of tiny people living amongst normal humans.

However, instead of being set in fifties England the story will be transposed to the Japan of 2010, with the titular protagonist Arrietty being a 14-year-old girl.

Cinematic release is due in the summer of 2010, doubtless with an international release planned in short order after this.

With the novel already a classic, Studio Ghibli looks set to strike gold once more?

Source.

This could be awesome.

^ You might want to remove the hotlinked image.

ANN has detailed info on the new film (Y) Another Studio Ghibli winner on the way with a director better than Goro no doubt :D

Radish?

Yeah i watched the trailer for that and i am not really sure what the point of the movie is supposed to be. Unless it is either a Recap or a series summery in a movie form. Still going to watch it though.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display.
