  1. I don't want to see whales get killed.. but I don't know anything about their actual population numbers or what species would be hunted, etc. If there really is enough of a couple species for a sustanable culling that has no major ecological impact, then they probably should have voted for the limited hunting.. but with the anti-whaling completely supported, it could be a bad thing.. now japan and some other countries could leave the IWC, form their own commission and begin mass whaling, taking into consideration that all the other countries in the IWC wouldn't be participating in the whale hunting.. and that could be even worse for whales than if the IWC did approve it.. \
  2. http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3151509 I wonder if square enix actually slipped this info out to create a buzz, or if best buy jumped the gun. I have a feeling someone working for best buy got a bogus game release list and threw it on the pre-order page, but it makes you wonder.. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?type=category&id=pcmcat92300050000

    random art time

    oh.. Sailor Matelea looks nice.
  4. I always wanted to pick up the books and read them, but I never had the chance too.. I loved the Trigun anime tho.
  5. I realized last night that Seven Samurai is the movie Quentin Taratino mentioned as one of his inspirations for Kill Bill. hmm..
  6. The first 10-20 episodes are pretty slow, and annoying in edited english. the unedited season 1 boxset is coming out soon, I'd suggest you watch that or the unedited fansubs. Once you watch the fights in the chunin exam episodes, the entire show takes off drastically from there and doesn't let up in its intensity for about 80 episodes.
  7. yeah, but I figured it was only $3. At least now I can test my dvd burner to make sure it actually burns dual layer disks ok. I think I'll burn the bulk of marmalade boy on one of the disks.
  8. holy crap I got a good deal. ^____^ they're closing a local walmart because they're opening a super walmart down the street.. so instead of restocking everything in the old store, they're trying to get rid of all their stock. As I was doing misc. shopping today, the store manager announces over the intercom that everything in the clearance isle and all clearanced shoes and clothes were an additional 50% off until midnight tonight. So I looked and there was just a bunch of crap. anyway, I went over to look at dvds and decided to checked their blank media for DL disks.. all their blank media was marked for clearance and just as I picked up a case of dvd+rs the store manager and an employee came down the isle.. the manager told the girl to take all the stuff to the clearance isle... so I asked.. would that mean all this is an additional 50% off too? to which the store manager said, yes it will be for tonight. so, in the end, I walked out of walmart with 3 packs of memorex DVD+Rs (75 disk packs) for $8.50 a piece and a 3 disk pack of imation DVD+R DLs for $3!
  9. the original is a live action movie? ; *is downloading "Seven Samurai"*
  10. I didn't even know there was a movie. I'll have to get it later..
  11. I'm pretty sure vcds won't play on PS2s. You might have to download some codec to be able to play it on your computer. My dvd player won't even play it by default, I have to access a menu thru the player, then access a vcd menu in it to play it.
  12. *revives 1 year old topic* I finished watching Samurai 7 yesterday. It was a good series and highly enjoyable, but the end was too sad..
  13. no... I don't have the original series or movies..
  14. InuYasha Movie 4: Fire on the Mystic Island http://www.windscar.com/gallery/categories.php?cat_id=99 The official translation for the movie might be "escape from crimson island" tho, I don't know yet. Its going to be released on August 1st in the USA. If you found it on VCD, then you're probably looking on ebay. many countries have vcd players but they never hit the states, alot of dvd players will play vcds if you look at your manuel tho. but I suggest waiting until august, you'll get dvd quality and an english track... that and movie 4 wasn't really that great, I'd wait.

    Some questions

    yeah, if you watched the chunin exams, (I think they already aired this ep on CN), Orochimaru put a five fingered seal on Naruto to prevent him from accessing the Kuybi power. Go back and watch those eps, they were some of the best of the series.
  16. I finished watching Gundam SEED Destiny a week ago. I did not care for this series. SEED was ok and I liked it, but Destiny was highly dissapointing to me. The last half of the series did pick up the pace a bit, but the overall plot and character development was horrible. The first half of the series was a complete rip off of the first SEED series, 3 pilots steal the latest mobile suits from the enemy, followed by multiple episodes of repeated battles. And on top of that, Cagalli was completely pointless up until the end, I wish she would have died, and Athrun and Kira seemed pointless to me. Athrun's entire 'join Plant and Faith' was pointless as well. He did nothing of importance while on the Minerva. and Shinn... guh. They showed his tragic past, his loss and then instead of going further into his character they just kept rehashing those same tragic moments and how he felt the compelling notion to protect Steller and then later Lunamaria. I watched the final plus episode which was pretty much the exact same last 1 or 2 episodes with about 5 minutes of extra footage at the very end to tie up a couple loose ends with the characters. yeah... and on that note, I plan on watching either Gundam X or Zeta Gundam next.
  17. I got my next month bill! holy shit, it said we only used $35 in electricity! our bill has dropped down to $15 a month!

    Some questions

    What fansubs are you watching? your entire first post is way off.. They explained most of the 9 tails stuff in the first season if I remember correctly. The 4th hokage sacrificed himself to seal the demon fox inside the body of a small baby.. I think they even say this in episode 1. There was another seal placed on Naruto by Orochimaru himself, but it was removed.. that might be the seal they're referring to when Kabuto and Orochimaru were talking.. who could have removed that seal.. probably the third or Jiayra.

    hey! welcome to AC!
  20. http://www.wnbc.com/money/9246003/detail.html Alot of this is common sense stuff, but it was still interesting.
  21. Governor Pataki has finally impressed me with something. http://www.ny.gov/governor/press/06/0521061.html My next car is going to be a flex-fuel. and a tax free week on energy star goods? damn! I'd buy a new monitor for my computer and a new air conditioner for my bedroom. *kicks new york state taxes*
  22. Just tv. It was an ABC channel production. I'm sure it'll be out on dvd soon tho because it doesn't look like it'll be on tv again for a while.
  23. That was a good movie. The characters were good and it was pretty close to the book. I just wish they would have put more money into the special effects. All in all, I liked it. ^__^ I'll buy the dvd when it comes out.
