hey Radish, love your new sig :)

Thanks :)

Finished watching the two Nasu OVA's and I loved the second OVA much more than the first. Great relationships within the cycling team, nice dose of humour and awesome drive/teamwork with loads of tension! (Y)

Character design/scenery reminded me of Ghibli's work but it was actually produced by Madhouse :p

Radish?

FAKKU YEAH!!1!eleven!

I can't wait for cycling/running season to start!

(note from excitement: nasu is probably the best sports anime movie. Beautiful women, depiction of cycling techniques such as quick breathing and drafting, and AMAZING sprinting finish. What is there not to like?!)

^ would you happen to know an anim? that is based on Football? (IE the game you play with your foot)

Captain Tsubasa. (The first anime I ever saw when I was a kid.)

Moero! Top striker

Wild Striker

However, there's nothing that can touch cycling when it comes to sports anime apart from martial arts. Soccer is getting more popular since Japan have consistently qualified for the World Cup. They're a decent team too but they're in a very tough group. Netherlands certainly is going to claim first while the second wild card going to Cameroon. It could be a surprise win for Japan though depending on how they do.

I agress (although I've only watched one cycling anime). I watched Over Drive and simply loved it. Any recommendations for other anime like over drive? :D

Nasu. The huge screenshot is of that. Just click on the image to get more information. You might want to check out Prince of Tennis to check if its your cup of tea. To me, it was like a group of models posing for girls and exaggerating each shot. Think Captain Tsubasa (exaggerated 1 minute windups before taking a shot at goal or even pass) but in tennis.

There are only two anime that match Over Drive and that's Nasu and Slam Dunk (I read the manga instead of watching the cheap animation).

Slam Dunk is a must read/watch if you love GTO and/or its prequels.

Nice sig, Radish. Is Yumi-chan rubbing off on you? :p

And just what's wrong with J-Trance?

I like J-Trance (well, some) but I can't stand these J-pop songs that open for some anime shows that feature squirrel voices and fast beats. It's as if Crazy Frog or chipmunks were back in style. >_<

I raise your Black Heaven song with real Japanese death metal.

:| They ruined the song! It's one of the most beautiful singing voices I've heard in years and now it's reduced to a bunch of trash cans being bashed together. >_< Chikusho, my ears are bleeding! HIGH FREQUENCY IS HIGH!

What that mix is pure class.

also the best thing to come from the sharpnel team

Never get bored of DJ Jinnai's remixes.

On the topic of OP/EDs, I always found Elfen Lied's ED to be an interesting choice. It was a bit out of place with the series. You'd have a whole slew of people murdered in an episode and have a really depressing episode and then suddenly it would break out into this really upbeat song...

Also it sounded a hell of alot like:

You did not just call Maximum The Hormone "real Japanese death metal" because their music is far away from death metal :p

On a side note: has anyone started watching Durarara yet? I'm gonna watch the first episode today :)

    • Microsoft explains how it made Teams so much faster in 2026

      I just started using Teams (and “New” Oiutlook) at work (instead of Slack) and both are truly abysmal pieces of software.

    • Phone Dilemma

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

      I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it

      Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
