  1. What would be more interesting to me is how Lalatina ( "Darkness" ) became such a weird masochist type.
  2. Any tree species that is strange or unusual can be discussed here. Exhibit A is yours truly... How do I look? ( trying to stay in character here ) My ancient ancestors first appeared in the fossil record some 220-230 million years ago. We are as old as the dinosaurs. Now restricted to the mountains of Southern Japan, my species ( Sciadopitys verticillata ) is all that remains today. My brethren can be grown outdoors in any cool, moist maritime climate which is similar to the British Isles or the Pacific Northwest of North America - and probably much of the coast of Northern Europe in Poland, Germany, France, and the Low Countries ( Netherlands and Belgium ). We would greatly appreciate some help in getting reestablished in the parts of the world where our kin have disappeared from. Trivia: amber from the Baltic has been attributed to Sciadopityaceae. USDA Zones 5-9: this rating mostly deals with the times of the year that frost is predominate in North America.
  3. In essence though, is the manga artist not also the creator of the universe and its characters? If you manage to create a manga serial that gets approved for an animated series, then that would technically make you an anime creator - albeit indirectly. Hold on tight to those dreams.
  4. Obviously, everyone who is here today is here because they watch anime and they love the style. I get that. I wonder though, how many others have dreams of following in the footsteps of the giants that have provided them with some of the greatest moments of entertainment in their lives? How many people here want to make anime themselves? I will humbly admit that I cannot draw like that ( probably never ), but I do have certain other attributes that could go into making a successful anime with the help of others. It would actually probably be a more prudent course of action to start out with a manga than an actual anime, so in that way there is at least a clear template to follow storywise before trying to make it into an animated series from scratch.
  5. I haven't noticed "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime" anywhere. It's actually one of my favorite recent anime, albeit with its own shortcomings in its plot. Still very fun.
  6. Icehouse...the namesake of Dio's most fanatical servant in the megahit anime, "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure".
  7. The only music video where you'll see Hulk Hogan, Macho Man, the Mad Barber, and even Jake the Snake all performing side-by-side together in a band. This is comedy gold here...too bad Mankind and Doink weren't there in this one ( neither character had even been invented yet unfortunately ). LMAO
  8. I've been watching this new Golden Bolt Tournament lately. One thing which has become abundantly clear, is that even though Will Bales and Team Hypershock have advanced into the championship bracket, removing their self-righter was a huge mistake that nearly cost them their wins. If the whole point of this is to prove that their machine is as good as Bite Force, that never came up because Bite Force never got flipped upside down during its undefeated streak. If it's meant to comply with the weight limit, then they simply need a more compact frame.
  9. Thunder Force was one of the greatest shmup franchises in gaming history...terrible difficulty, but all were beautiful works of art graphically and musically. The original 16-Bit chiptunes were literally so good that I actually think I still prefer most of those to the remixes done on more advanced hardware. Technosoft took a lot of pride in their work. This metal remix was apparently planned for a title that was to be released on the ill-fated Sega Dreamcast, unfortunately it was cancelled.

    Insults

    The most offensive insults are the ones which cannot be repeated here.
  11. That's certainly a very interesting plot description. Unfortunately, I cannot help you with this.
  12. This makes me feel like a kid again! The WWE needs to hire the guy that made these to do their theme music. @viruxx That was a good find there.
  13. A bit of serendipity. If anybody deserves to be interviewed on NRW TV, it's these guys for making this amazing video.
  14. Dokken was awesome! I think their album "Back For the Attack" was probably the pinnacle of their work, in my honest opinion...
  15. I'm not entirely sure if this topic belongs here or in manga discussion since there usually has to be a manga before there is an animated series. In either case, there are sometimes established anime universes with loads of creative possibilities which for some reason are neglected and never used for any story angles. I can think of two in particular that I could see a lot of potential with. I would even have half a mind to actually volunteer as a writer to try and make these canon just to experience the joy of seeing it ( if I had the power to do so ). If anyone sees titles mentioned here that they have never watched, I encourage you to skip over those and read about the next title ( and so on ) to avoid any spoilers. GTO - "Great Teacher Onizuka" My Idea For a Followup Sequel Premise: If I understand correctly, GTO itself was actually even a sequel/spinoff to some earlier works written by the manga author that featured the titular character before his career as a school teacher. For some reason this is just the one that made it big, kinda like "Star Wars" with its Galactic Civil War story arc in the original film trilogy. Anyway... Following the events at the end of GTO, Onizuka begins competing in a vicious underground bike racing circuit in which participants are allowed and encouraged to cheat and use dirty fighting to win ( a la "Road Rash" ). After Onizuka fled Japan in GTO, I remember it being unclear whether Onizuka was residing in California or Hawaii but, the scenery looked more like Southern California; I'm sure the manga is probably more detailed with that information ( haven't read it ). Even though this is a rather foolhardy thing for Onizuka to do after just escaping from hot water in exile abroad, this is something which actually would not be out of character for him to do. "You're Under Arrest" My Idea For a Spinoff Premise: After leaving the precinct for more intense pursuits, Natsumi decides to give pro-wrestling a try for a little change of pace along the way, before reuniting with her old partner. She joins an all-female wrestling promotion and dons the in-ring gimmick of the "Big Boss Lady" ( <-- if anyone got that reference, please let me know ), wearing her old blue uniform shirt to the ring. A parody of GLOW ( "Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling" ) ensues. Somehow it seems that trousers would be more practical than a skirt inside the squared circle...hmmm. It would certainly look out of place for her to be wearing her flats to the ring...she might as well just be barefoot or in her stockings the whole time than that. A few details about the costume would probably need to be modified to make it look more natural for the setting. It's not that it couldn't be done the other way, I just wouldn't want it to be reduced to mindless fan service though. I welcome feedback. If anyone else has ideas for the aforementioned anime shows or for other additional ones, feel free to share them here. Discuss...
