ok, im a 19 yr old female and a little bi curious - what i always wondered is, why do u see lesbians/bi girls etc going out with women that dress up like men? Wouldn't that just remove the eroticism of femininity? I like to look feminine, and would get more turned on by a feminine woman than a butch woman. (although i still like the sexy men )

any thoughts? (i know this aint anime related at all... so lets somehow relate it... hmmm if utena and anthy were real who would u prefer?...lol)

Just wondering if anyone knows where I can buy a GTO figure (like a huge Eikichi statue ).

At my old house, everytime we'd throw a party, we'd have Cups, Shoulders, and Beer Pong going on. I really miss it.

Another thread on this board has me wondering about this.

For all of us anime junkies who actually spend the time to go online and chat about anime, was the very first anime you watched subtitled or dubbed.

This thread isn't about seeing which is better. It's pretty much been established that is a matter of personal preference.

I want to know about the first time you saw a show that made you want to see another. Can you remember back that far? Did you see some raw show without any translation and just want to know what the heck was being said? Were you at a friends house who showed you a subtitled show that blew you away? Was it a TV show that sparked your curiosity?

is it just me or dose anyone else want the GB SP nes edition, its soo nice

Ok I was looking on the internet for some chinese movies to watch (movies that were dubbed in vietnamese fyi i am vietnamese so yeah....) anyway I saw this title Tay Du Ky= tay-u-ki. I'll translate the words for you Tay is West, Du is Journey, Ki is To. It is kinda confusing because the vietnamese language is weird at times. So anyway I was looking at it the english translation for Tay Du Ky was Journey To The West. I thought oh this reminds me of Saiyuki and when I was looking at the pic of it there was a buddhist monk guy and three of this buddies on the cover and I was like: OMG LIVE ACTION SAIYUKI! so i bought it and watched it and compared it to the anime version and it was quite different but there were a lot of similarities. If you want to see the pic of the live action saiyuki I'll show it to u. It may look a little weird. BTW the live action saiyuki isn't a japanese release but a chinese release.

I am a big fan of the Berserk, so any of you that haven't seen it you should watch it. Anyway, i really hate that it ends after only 26 episodes. Are they animating any more of it?? Cause that would be freaking great if they were. Anybody know anything?? Just let me know

Thx a bunch!!!

Soon, HK DVD companies will have a new challenge on their hands, as the Japanese media industry is requesting that the phrase "Made In Japan" becomes a trademark, according to the Mainichi Daily News (via Arctic Nightfall):

Quote:An Anime and video game contents industry body is poised to introduce a "Made in Japan" trademark in a bid to allow law enforcers to crack down on pirates infringing on the copyright, officials said.

Anime and video game producers will affix a "Made in Japan" trademark, which will be set by the Organization for Promotion of Overseas Distribution of Contents, to their packages.

The organization's government regulator, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, intends to gather information on piracy overseas and urge the governments of foreign countries to crack down on pirates in a bid to support the organization's efforts.

The organization comprises 17 software, movie and other contents industry bodies and 21 computer software and video game companies including Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. and Nintendo Co.

The Organization for Promotion of Overseas Distribution of Contents will register its "Made in Japan" trademark with the patent agencies of Japan and other Asian countries. Member companies are supposed to affix the seal to the packages of their products to make it easy to distinguish genuine products from pirated ones.

Moreover, the organization will take measures to prevent pirates from counterfeiting the trademark.

Japanese anime, films and other contents are popular in China, Taiwan, South Korea, Thailand and other Asian countries.

However, a massive number of pirated contents are circulating in the markets of these countries because law enforcers have not sufficiently clamped down on pirates. About 2.1 trillion yen worth of pirated contents are sold in China each year, while about 140 billion yen worth of counterfeited contents are sold in both Hong Kong and Taiwanese markets, according to the Copyright Research and Information Center.

It has so far been difficult for individual companies to implement preventive measures in each country. However, the introduction of a "Made in Japan" trademark will enable the Organization for Promotion of Overseas Distribution of Contents to issue warnings to pirates and sue counterfeiters for infringing on the trademark.

To support the move, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry is urging the government of Asian countries in talks on free trade agreements to enact legislation on anti-pirating measures and crack down on counterfeiters.

The semi-governmental Japan External Trade Organization is set to assign an expert in anti-pirating measures each to its Beijing and Shanghai offices this coming autumn in a bid to gather information on pirating.
