A cute ending for Kimi ni Todoke...and Pin was just Pin again. :p

Ooooh, can't wait to watch it :happy:

Watched Kowarekake no Orgel last night, an dōjin OVA with a story similar to Chobits! Animation/artwork was definitely above par for a self-published OVA; nicely detailed, fluid and vibrant (the backdrops are just awesome). However, the character development/human emotion within is what makes this shine and recently, a side-story has been announced; which I'm looking forward to now :D

And finished Sora no Woto just now. I was expecting the "moe" characters to be overpowering after watching the first few episodes but as I went through, it turned out to be a really nice series about friendship, music and war, with a hint of mecha. The soundtrack by Michiru Oshima was superb (Y) :yes:

RapeLay is not that bad, there are some worse things on TV.

The funny thing is Japan has one of the lowest rates of rape in the world (1.9 per 100,000). The CNN report paints the pornographic game as if it might cause people to go out and do such horrible acts in real life. The woman's rights group needs to learn about the Streisand effect.

Nothing is more anti intellectual than a group tries to control what other people regulate the morality of artwork.

It's just hit me that they'll have to ban Evangelion and Code Geass in the UK after the 6th and many many more if upskirts and deemed illegal.

Depends if they will re-evaluate existing anime under the new law, Evangelion 2.0 will be screened in May at London.

I found an amazing anime streaming site. It streams in 480p and 720p. Enjoy: http://www.animedreaming.com/

Why don't you just keep your stuff and Truecrypt an external hard drive? It's such a waste to delete hundreds of hours worth of stuff you painstakingly searched for.

Well, well. Look who was one of the writers behind Ghost in the Shell 2nd GiG: http://myanimelist.n.../Okamura_Tensai

He also was one of the writers for Cowboy Bebop, the creator of the Darker than Black manga, Samurai Champloo and one episode of Ouran High School Host Club. He also one of the key animators of the Ghost in the Shell and was behind some of the episodes of an interesting romantic comedy that had quite a successful run from 1988 to 1992 called Yawara! I can't find any completed subs or translated manga. v_v

I just realized that the most popular Japanese animation manga and anime in the West side of the world are greatly influenced by a select group of people, such as Kenji Kamiyama (Ghost in the Shell, Higashi no Eden, Serei no Moribito).

    • Microsoft explains why PowerToys 0.100.0 is faster and slimmer, there are new features too

      By sphbecker · Posted

      Sadly, that is the state of things. It's basically considered acceptable for any random app running on your computer to use 1+ GB of RAM, and install space, lol, no one even seems to consider that.
    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple This week at Apple’s 2026 developers conference, the iPhone maker unveiled the upgraded Siri after more than a year of delays. The new Siri is now called Siri AI, and it's powered by Google Gemini models. While Siri AI is preparing to roll out to Apple users worldwide, the company’s EU customers might need to wait much longer before getting their hands on the new assistant. Shortly after announcing iOS 27, Apple said in a blog post that Siri AI is not coming to the EU anytime soon due to hurdles posed by the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and other regulatory requirements. To comply with the DMA in the EU, Apple apparently needs to open Siri AI to rival assistants on iOS 27 and iPadOS 27. Apple has refused to do so, which has resulted in Siri AI being delayed for its EU users. The company argues that such a move would put users’ privacy at risk. In a statement to Neowin, a European Commission spokesperson provided more details about why Siri AI will not be rolled out to Apple customers in the region. The statement first noted that the DMA does not prohibit Apple from launching its services in the EU and that the company is simply required to comply with the law. The European Commission spokesperson added that, since Apple is considered a gatekeeper under the DMA, it is “obliged to give third parties access to equivalent features as they give to its own products. Because the DMA is precisely about giving users the choice to use the product they find best suits their needs.” Moreover, the spokesperson said the Commission has been in contact with Apple, though the company “did not develop proposals for DMA compliant interoperability solutions.” The statement also clarified that companies designated as gatekeepers cannot leverage their status and products, such as operating systems, to favor their own AI services. The first public beta of iOS 27 will roll out next month, while the stable version is expected to launch this fall following the release of the iPhone 18 series. It remains unclear when Apple will be able to resolve its DMA-related compliance issues with the European Commission and bring Siri AI to its European customers.

    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print

      By sphbecker · Posted

      This has been on the roadmap for years, nothing really new here. This is one of the few areas where Microsoft is making Windows better. Universal print is a very good things and so far works as expected. The last step is ending the option for 3rd parties to add traditional custom drivers. It is somewhat of a hurdle, but it is for a long-term good. The downside is that printer manufactures are likely going to use this as an excuse to force users onto new printers. Considering this roadmap has been public for years, then printers sold during that time should be covered...but I'm sure they will have a different opinion.
