No... he was dressed in traditional Oriental clothes and held a large book, if I recall. And he served the seven gods of somethingorother, who appeared behind him as menacing figures.

Pointing me in the direction of this thread might have been a good start knowing ho much I dislike anime...

I don't remember anyone with that name Curio, but I was quite tired when I watched part two. From looking at the Wiki entry, the film has a different ending to the books. Just for the record, I really enjoyed the films. :)

Cool. He's a young fella. There are two of them who are rivals from an Orphanage, trying to bring down the people with the Death Note. 'Near' is the more honourable of the two. The other one is called 'Mello'.

That's vague enough so as not to be spoilers.

The books are well worth a read, though #9 was a bit rubbish. I may as well buy 10-13 though, for completeness.

Thank you so much for the DVDs!

I will watch them this weekend.

You're welcome. :)

Be sure to post your opinions on it too as I'd like to see how it fares against the source material.

Finally got around to (trying) to watch these today.

Alas, it wouldn't play on my PS2 or via the default player on the laptop. I then tried loading it via our DivX player, which also gave an error three seconds in, but I managed to skip past that. Alas, it seems to run perfectly and then just come to a juddering halt every couple of minutes. Not sure if it's a problem with the disc or with the codecs I have or something. What were you playing them on?

No active Anime thread, Beex? For shame.

I recently purchased the complete Lucky Star collection on DVD. I really enjoyed watching a fansubbed version years ago, and am falling in love with the series again. It may well be my favourite Anime series.

It is reminiscent of Seinfeld, in that it purports to be a show about nothing. It is winsome.

The last Anime film I watched was The Cat Returns. Pretty good, Ms Z enjoyed watching it too.

I had a minor Anime revival recently by watching the first two films in the Rebuild of Evangelion series. It's been ages since I saw the original series, so I can't really say how it compares. Who knows when parts 3 & 4 will get released though (and how long it will take before they're in a language I can actually understand).

Heh.

In Mr K anime news - I got one episode into Robotech recently, and switched it off. I may try again this weekend. It's a little too old school for my liking, though.

Oh yes, I was recently trying to find out the name of an old animated film I saw yeeeeears ago and I'm sure I read somewhere that Ghibli are doing a remake while trying to find it.

Anyway, here's a clip: Nezha Conquers The Dragon King (1979)

As most people know, I'm properly gay for Ghost in the Shell, and I even managed to spoil an episode of 2nd Gig for myself (this and this). My favourite is Battle Angel Alita, which I'm waiting for Mr Cameron to make a life-action version of (he says he wants to) because the original will doubtless be re-released on DVD.

:this: other than self-spoling. I'm 1/4 or so of the way throgh the first series, and love it. I wish I hadn't bought the separate volumes 1 and 2 of the series (of 7 or 8), rather than just the full series in one go.

HOWEVER - why is the main female lead always in a mankini?

I just watched Appleseed Alpha, a cannon-bending prequel to the series. It was pretty good, the story involved robots punching each other and giant walking fortresses and stuff, so no complaints there.

It looked incredible. Like Appleseed 2 it was all CGI and it was simply fantastic, especially Deunan and Briareos. The giant walking fortress thing was pretty cool too, especially when it shot stuff with its massive gun.

People say it's really good.

What does Furi Kuri mean, Dave?

Not entirely sure, its not a dictionary word. I think its word play, or nothing at all.

chichikuriau is to have a secret affair, which is used in the comic scene in the first episode
Which is then played upon a panel or two later as chichi wo kurikuri (chichi = breasts. kurikuri = multiple meanings. Most likely here are either to spin/twirl (as in chichikurau) or round.)
And then many panels later this is repeated, then fuchi wo kurichiri (no idea, but given the nature of the scene, I'm not sure I'm meant to), then finally as chichi wo furikuri. which is... maybe a further play on words, but one which goes over my head.

It may also be worth noting that kuri is also short for kuritorisu, which is.... well, try saying it, bearing in mind how r/l are rather the same. (furifuri, incidentally, is frilly/fluttery, so furikuri...)

Or maybe the meaning becomes clearer later. Assuming anything becomes clearer later.

Ok. You do get an answer as to the question "what does furikuri mean?" in the last episode.

It's very much in keeping.

The first episode is indicative of the rest, certainly.

I don't think it was made to be comprehended.

I think FLCL is one of my favourite anime's of all time.

I like to see it as Gainax sticking two fingers up at the format after making a masterpiece like Evangelion. Hence the meta jokes, like when everything turns to manga and it cuts out as they run out of budget (literally because the studio ran out of budget to do those sort of artwork intensive scenes), and Kamon's obsession with mecha (specifically EVA).

Also...

All I will say is that I can see why the translators had a hard time. Which probably added to my confusion.

I've watched an episode of One Punch Man. It could be the greatest single episode of a thing I've watched. Actual genuine laughs outside my head with a noise made in the real world. I will watch more.

I got the blu-ray of Oooonnneee-Pawwwwwwwnchhh *electric guitar*... I mean One Punch Man the other week. (god that theme tune is awesome) It's soo good. First anime I've seen in years. It's amazing.

I love how it's one of the best animated things I have ever seen (seriously, it's jaw-dropping) but it plays with the animation style all the time. (For example Saitama is drawn very simply, almost featureless most of the time.)

I think you need to have seen some anime to get what it's really going for (a few episodes of Dragonball Z will do). But yeah, amazing.

One Punch Man has reignited my love of anime. I'm currently watching Attack on Titan, and it's really, really good. A bit slow at times but when it throws down, it throws down.

Now I'm waiting for Funimation to catch up with the dubbing, I'm watching Hellsing Ultimate. Which is ace.

I also watched Attack on Titan: Junior High (season 1), which was bonkers but in a good way.
