Can anyone recommend anything similar to Gurran Lagaan. I loved its sense of wonder and stupid shitty plans that should never work but somehow do so because of the belief that you can pierce the heavens with your burning ambition....

I would also recommend Gunbuster/Diebuster.

Does anyone fancy contributing to anime articles on wikipedia? Even if it's just writing a couple of episode summaries as you watch a show. I can provide help if you are interested.

I have thought about joining in with this but to be honest my knowledge of anime despite all I watched isn't really comprehensive enough to merit editing articles. Most of the stuff I do know has been posted already anyway. The only time I was tempted was by someone's attempted summary at Ergo Proxy's last episode which made me chortle in amusement at their viewpoint.

Anyone watching or planning to watch the original Macross? Kinda related to my wikipedia post earlier

I'm interested but I just don't have the space on my pc at the moment to even contemplate any batch torrent at the moment. I'm skirting the edges with 1 gig free space at the moment just waiting for about half a dozen series to have their last episodes subbed so I can burn them off.

Edit: I'm also still waiting for meh to announce he has one of those giant pillow covers for Bible Black characters.

Knowledge doesn't need to be immense. The little things can make a big difference, and you don't want to be doing large overhauls of pages when you first start anyway (quickest way to failure that is, and I spent 5months improving a page little by little until it was ready to be given a decent rating). For example, writing episode summaries is a quick, easy (depending on your writing skill) way to contribute, and can be the difference between a low quality article and a high quality one. Or spending 5 minutes copy-pasting Kanji and airdates to existing episode lists is another quick way to improve an article enormously. If you are at least interested, drop me a pm and I'll show you some pages to look at

Great anime, that, the plot and everything else more than makes up for the sometimes laughably horrible animation. DYRL is god tier in everything though.

The only Macross I haven't watched is Seven, got to get around to that sometime....

Well, I did get a 1TB HD as a xmas present.

Can you make a motion for Wikipedia to not have every article about anything from Japan feature ridiculous shite like 'Mobile Suit Gundam (Mobiiru Suutsu Gandamu) or 'Final Fantasy (Finaru Fantashiuuuuuuuuuuuu)' at the beginning? Ta.

Elaborate? Examples would help

Wait, do you mean

Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (機動戦士ガンダム00（ダブルオー）, Kidō Senshi Gandamu Daburu Ō?) is the latest television anime of Sunrise's long-running Gundam franchise.

That? Yeah, not going to change. Ever. It's not restricted to Japanese articles either. Thats the sort of global en.wiki policy you'll never get changed, and for good reason.

Urgh Romaji. I could probably bear it for stuff like wikipedia but it makes me ill when I read some little scrote adding into forum posts or something.

Cheers :ph34r:

Yeah if we are started referring to stuff like that for no reason here feel free to shoot us. It's fairly necessary for something like wikipedia though

Well, it's fairly situational and is fine when used right I guess but it's mainly down to me seeing some frankly horrific caps of youtube comments with people trying to mingle romaji and english together just for the look of the thing. It's like nails running down the blackboard of my mind when I read it just like text speak.

Edit: I imagine it also falls in part to that "how much should translator's translate?" argument you get for things like using 'nakama' in One Piece and such like.

Except that that's the phonetic spelling of the word, isn't it? Which is good.

Watched a samurai anime film last night called Sword of the Stranger. Basically it's about a stranger/ronin who meets a kid and his dog on the run from some bad guys which of course leads to action/adventure etc. It doesn't really do much different from many other films of it's type but it looks great and there's some fun action scenes, worth a look.

SotS is a really fun samurai film to watch. Not exactly a deep or complex story but for 2 hours, what can you expect. There are some really fantastic fight scenes though especially the scuffle on the bridge between

the main lead and the blonde guy where their fight is essentially mirrored by the fisherman on the river bank nearby

.

I'd agree, it's not deep at all but I had a lot of fun with the film whilst it lasted. That fight was very cool though my favourite was were it all kicked off at the end, where the Stranger is

running across the rooftops trying desperately to get to and rescue the boy. He knows that time is limited so in a cool as hell move rips the cloth off his sword with his teeth (which prevented him using his sword for the entire film) whips out the sword and in one motion cuts some fucker in front of him in half without stopping.

Just got caught up on Cross Game (by the guy who did Touch etc etc). It's basically the same story as Touch/His other works, but with a slight few variations. You know the one, Boy likes girl, Boy has major tragedy that comes out of nowhere and stabs the reader in the gut. Boy aims for the Koshien.

I love it and would kill for an English release of this and all his work*.

*Except Miyuki.

Wading through the Guyver remake today. Up to episode 21 of 26. Not a patch on the original anime, but still entertaining.

While it starts off really, really badly, things pick up once it gets past where the original OVAs left off. By the time it ends, you're cursing them for not making more.

The manga's pretty epic past that, though.

g00 13: Jeez.

Not even the Death Star trench run was that long. Bit of a let down really aside from seeing Lockon's shieldy things. Oh and the gay captain died.

The shield bits made me aroused. I fucking love those things. Also loving the name of Sergei's friend: HANK HERCULES. That's a real man's man's name.
