Quote:Tatsunoko's is looking to create something different with KARAS that will leave a lasting impression, and create ripples throughout the animation industry. Their aim is to create a new hero for the 21st century in the same vein as Gatchaman and Casshan.

Keiichi Sato is the director and original planner for KARAS, a suspense story that takes place in a future Tokyo haunted by ghosts. Sato said, "I wanted to create an anime with high-speed camera like, stop motion direction. Fusion of 2D and 3D isn't usually used for anime characters except for motion capturing. I'm not trying to imitate human movement, I think I managed to create a new charm, using 3D as a technique to enhance the characters in an anime-esque way, different to what has been done till now. Rather than realism I aimed for coolness. I am very satisfied with part 1."

Chief of production, Kuri Ippei stated, "For our 40th anniversary work we used a high budget since we wanted to create something we can be proud of. I believe it is important to always challenge yourself with something new, that's why we tried to create a new experience combining 2D and 3D animation. We have created many heroes until now, but we wanted to create a cool new hero for the 21st century."

KARAS will be released monthly in 6 half-hour parts starting with the first DVD on the 28th of May.

I really hate wasting peoples time but seeing as how people seem to be too busy or reluctant to post or thread here I thought I would throw something up thats bothered me for the past week or so. I don't watch much tv at all, mostly techtv or a star trek re-run, but I was surfing the other day and watched a show on fuse. This show was slave to the metal. Now in my opinion metal and rock is supposed to be great music without giving a sh**t what everyone else thinks, is that not reasonable to say!? Well the whole show was a woman in "goth" answering phone, text, or email questions about people really stupid figure it out yourself releationship junk. A lot of them wanted to kknow what to wear or how to act. WTF!!!!!! Honestly, dress how you want, eat what you want and dont give in to societies ideal person BS. Granted you should at least have basic manners and its not difficult to be a decent respectable person but who cares if you wear a green shirt instead of blue. Whats going on, society is being or I should say has been hijacked by people who just want the green. I say watch tv at a minimal, read go outside and meet people or just hang out.

This is a little late but I wanted to know what everyone thinks of the kotor games. Are they worth buying?

So i watched the whole dbz part 1 and dbz part 2 and part 2 ends with goku within his travel to namek in his spaceship, but then i start to see part 3 and goku is already finishing up the battle with the freeza's special forces and starting a battle with ginyu wtf?!

Note that part 3 mentions to have episodes 54-81.
In japanese episode list the episode 54 is "Protect the Planet of Hope! Kuririn Powers Up!"
In english episode list the episode 54 is "Ginyu Assault"

...so i have part1 + part2, which are episodes 0-54 according to japanese episode list
...then i have part 3, which starts in episode 68 - "Finally...the Clash. Commander Gnyu Appears" according to japanese episode list

so there are 14 episodes missing... :mad:
i'm really mad with this... what can i do now.. (if i can do anything at all)? i'm surprised no one said this before... :mad:
All dvds were bought on this site...

i also noted that part 3 is much worse in quality comparing it to part 1 and 2

According to Radio-Info, there's a new Geico ad out featuring Speed Racer -- haven't seen the ad, just got word of it. Apparently, according to that Radio-Info thread, it starts off as an ordinary scene from the show, ending with the typical Geico punchline -- "I saved money on my car insurance!".

Another reason I hate ebay is all the stupid buyers. I really really really hate getting asked questions that are already covered in the very short description. Selling two things on ebay and have gotten obvious questions on both. Here's the latest one for my gto set that just irritates me. Here is my description:

You are bidding on volumes 1-10 of Great Teacher Onizuka. These are the official region 1 dvd's, NOT bootlegs.

I don't have a digital camera so I don't have a picture of the sets, but you can see from my feedback that I am a good seller. This is the set released by Tokyopop, the same thing you can buy at BestBuy for $200!

I accept paypal or MO. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Here is the question:

Hi I just wanna know what I am purchasing. How many dvds? Are they japanese imports ala bootlegs. You sure their region 1s? Are they from Tokyopop. Im just wondering as I dont recall a complete 1-10 boxset ever being released. Thanks

This is the first time I think on ebay i've ever intentionally tried to make the buyer feel stupid in my response. I usually respond with little yes or no's but this person pissed me off. S/he asked just about every question covered in the description except maybe "Could you take a picture of these with a digital camera?"

The only question i've gotten in a long time that wasn't stupid was someone asking if the GTO set includes the boxes, which it doesn't and is a good question considering I said you can buy it at Best Buy for $200 which would = the box set price.

i don't know exactly how to do the survey thing but i was wondering how much people thing the new systems are going to cost and also how much you would be willing to pay for them

for me i think the ps3 500-600 dollars and xbox 360 400-500 and nintendo revolution 350-400

I would be willing to pay 500 for the ps3 if it is what it seems to be and around 300 for 360 and depending how much it costs to dl games for the revolution then 250 to 300

well give me some replies

Does anyone play ffxl? Do any of you think you'll play it on the 360? I never bothered with ffxl because of the poor online support from sony but I will buy it when it comes out on the 360 because the support is there. What does everyone else think?

Does anyone know where I can find fansub One Piece burned on dvds?
