^It's not only because they're doing it wrong. It's because the stories, the way that characters act in anime, etc., etc. can't really be carried over into a live-action. That's just my opinion though. I just rather have it that at least Hollywood keeps his hands off of anime/manga.

@Darth Radeon: True that. Lets just hope they're not forgetting about 08th MS Team's story. So far they've only been recycling the original Gundam story and Gundam Wing's story.

you're watching the wrong ones.

How come you only quote me on that part and forget the most important thing about that whole post:

@Razorwing: It's so many more things then just characters.

If the post is solely my opinion, how come you feel the need to force your opinion onto me? We don't all like the ecchi anime like you do. Now, could you please stop trolling in this thread? We where having a nice conversation about Gundam/Gunpla, until you came along.

@Razorwing: LOL!

Because it seemed to be based on what Hollywood is doing when a superb live action adaptation sprung up almost in your back yard.(of course i mean Wickie und die starken M?nner) I believe opinions should always have a bit of flexibility until enough data has been gathered to form a solid one which is why i don't have a strong one about gundam hell if i get round to watching Gundam at some point which i will i might end up liking it to the same point you do.

We don't all like the ecchi anime like you do.

yet my #1 anim? this season is Kaiji something which is far from it.

Now, could you please stop trolling in this thread?

Well sorry if i seems like i am but i do have a slight interest in gundam so i like to look at this thread from time to time and that statement just caught my eye.

We where having a nice conversation about Gundam/Gunpla, until you came along.

sorry again...

You fail to see what I meant. I was stating my opinion then you tell me that I'm watching the wrong anime. Again, what I'm watching myself is as well my opinion about what I like about anime. What you said added little to nothing to the conversation which was going on. Sure opinions can have flexibility. But when someone gives his opinion you can't just sit there and say that they're watching the wrong anime only because your opinion is different. If you want to add to the convo, state your own opinion instead trolling.

Anime just isn't made for live-action movies.

i read this as "anim? never goes well into live action" so i took it as you were saying all live action adaptations are bad and my reply related to live action movies not anim? so i was merely stating you have watched the wrong live action adaptations hope this clears it up a little.

What I meant was that anime isn't made to be converted into live-action whilst American cartoons etc lend themselves perfectly for live-action movies. That's what I basically meant.

Next time, read the whole convo if you want to add something to said convo.

    • Motrix Next 3.9.4

      By Copernic · Posted

      Motrix Next 3.9.4 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.4 changelog: Motrix Next 3.9.4 promotes the 3.9.4 beta cycle to stable. This release refreshes bundled engine binaries, improves task detail readability and copy actions, expands link handling for magnet and ED2K workflows, polishes responsive navigation and text wrapping, updates browser extension documentation, and refines network preference controls. New Features Task Detail copy actions — Added copyable values for task metadata and reusable render functions for long text fields. Magnet and ED2K lifecycle support — Added task lifecycle handling for magnet and ED2K links. History cleanup for deleted tasks — Deleted tasks can now remove matching history records. User-Agent management — Added user-agent management and improved related network preference controls. Browser extension documentation — Added the Firefox Add-ons link for the Motrix Next extension. Improvements Engine binaries — Updated bundled binaries for supported architectures. Task Detail readability — Long task names, URLs, tracker values, and copyable metadata now render more clearly. Deletion messaging — Refined localized task deletion text for clarity and consistency. Text wrapping — Improved URI input wrapping and task name multiline display. Navigation layout — Improved sub-navigation responsiveness. Disk allocation default — Changed the default file allocation method to trunc. Proxy controls — Improved proxy button styling in network preferences.

      NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.

      TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.

      Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
