On the plus side, this time I really do think I have it figured out. But that *click* will have to wait until tomorrow. Nothing I like better than a good, dramatic *click* and then leaving the site for the weekend.
Leaving for the weekend? Dude, it's only Thursday..... I'm jealous.
EDIT: NVM, I missed the point of your statement.

You disappoint me. Wait, scratch that, you would only disappoint me if you liked the 90's and 00's versions of the show. Now THOSE were awful takes on the series.

American voice acting tends to leave much to be desired.

I preferred the art work in those but the plots were, yeah... plot?

I'm sorry man, but macross 7 has pleasant memories for me. The very first night I went into Chinatown, back in 95,I picked up two cds that defined me for the rest of my days -the macross 7 fire bomber cd, and the rockman x soundtrack. I listened to them till my ears bled, and the respective series hold a special place in my heart. This was back in the day when vhs tapes were the norm, so I couldn't afford the space or financial overhead to get the entire series, now that it's a on dvd I can.
Pardon the momentary intrustion.

Its 1:23 am - I just finished cleaning up after an excellent game of Pathfinder...
Our wizard gunslinger rogue is suffocating and the rest of us are down to one action per turn due to some horrible spell... Our kick ass killer Paladin has been turned into a peace loving hippy, by the BBEG.
We have only dropped one of the monk minions, and the evil cult leading BBEG is at least 4-5 caster levels above us.
Things are looking grim... My witch has a teleport spell we could flee but we would loose the Paladin and maybe a retainer.
Fight or flight - none of my spells have been successful so far... I buffed the Paladin and he has become a pacifist. The BBEG has a massive will save (I am guessing to counter my sleep hex).
Last toss of the dice... before we call it a night, I go with feeble mind not expecting it to work - bam the bad guy fails her save and we sigh with relief.
The GM says he assuming that as her int and charisma are now 1 she is going to act off instinct - Her instinct is to return to her true form....
She turns into a fiendish dragon... A wild instinct driven angry fiendish dragon... We call it a night. Time for my witch to move out of breath weapon range.

I did see he had some work with FFG, so that does say something about the caliber of his work in the RPG industry.
Okay, I know this is picky, but the Kakita Sculptor pic has the girl's kimono closed backwards...unless she's supposed to be dead/undead.
The closed kimono, as seen from an outside observer, should be a "y" (obviously in the mirror it will be backwards).

I only recently saw Howl's, and I enjoyed it. Spirited Away is awesome. I got to see it in theaters in Kyoto when it came out!
The Japanese title is awesome too:
Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi (The spiriting away of sen and chihiro [千と千尋の神隠し])
It just sounds awesome!

Cool and annoying thing about other cultures. Some many important "little things"
How the kimono is tied, how the sword is placed, how many claws on a dragon.
I am sure that other cultures look at us and shake their collective heads wondering what we are thinking. " You mean you have to park on a particular side of the street. You use what in where?"

then again, every now and then, you get stellar performances. What a great series. What I wouldn't give for an air season...

It's horrible of me, I know. But it seriously makes me twitch! In Japan, I found the thing that most confused and freaked out Japanese looking to visit America was the concept of tipping. I got nervous questions about it from all the students about to do an American homestay. "How much should we tip? Who should we tip? Do we tip at McDonald's?"
I have been chased down by a Japanese taxi driver, intent on making sure I get my change.

I have got to watch hell girl to see how she closed her kimono.

now now, we know legend of korra is a story that takes place far, far in the future. I want to see more Aang and company.

Hell Girl is an extremely subtle show, I have missed a lot of things during my first sit down with it.
Sadly, Aang's story is over. :(

I would never have guessed that. Of course now that I think of it, I wonder how tipping began and why.

Well, after all his hard work, Alex was finally receiving the company's coveted intern award - the Golden Coffee Mug. Meanwhile, Jon and John's plans to leave the company and start their own business together were delayed when Jon found out about John's affair with Jon's mother. And, across town, Harry's efforts to clean out the....No, wait! That's my soap opera!
