    I recently watched Highschool of the Dead. I really enjoyed the show and liked how it approached a zombie apocalypse. The way it starts out is how I imagine a zombie apocalypse would actually start. There was some fanservice throughout the series that I didn't really care for; I felt it detracted from the show but not to the point where it hinders it. Overall it's a good anime in my opinion - worth a watch. Also recently watched Summer Wars which I also thought was pretty well done. The premise was pretty cool in my opinion, but I felt the story was weak in a few spots. I feel The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, also produced by Madhouse and directed by Mamoru Hosoda, is a better anime in comparison. I'm not sure if I mentioned that I had finished Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica in the older thread, but I thought it was a pretty damn good series overall. I really sympathized with the two main characters. There's a word I'm looking for to describe this anime, but I cannot think of it right now. The way it is presented is really well done in my opinion. Are there any other great series out there worth watching that are rather recent? Anything along the lines of Karas, Katanagatari, Bakemonogatari, Akira, Ninja Scroll, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Cowoboy Bebop, Code Geass, Bleach, Naruto, Death Note, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, School Rumble, FLCL, Ghost in the Shell, Outlaw Star, Trigun, Gurren-Lagann, Spirited Away, Casshern, and or Macross? Edit: Added a title....

    Have you tried using another web browser to see if the same thing happens? Are you using the 32-bit version or 64-bit version of IE9? Some sites don't play well with the 64-bit version. Make sure the site isn't listed in the Restricted Sites list as I believe that takes precedence over everything else. There might be an addon preventing you from viewing the pictures.... If you haven't already, you could try IE's Compatibility View. May also want to try and reset IE's settings. If you can view the pictures in another web browser but not IE9, and you've tried those few things....you might need to re-install IE9. The only other thing I can think of is that HOSTS file might be preventing you from viewing the pictures if it has been modified....

    Would anyone happen to have the re-timed subtitles, for the HD Remaster, that they wouldn't mind uploading or sharing? The SRT file I had managed to get corrupt somehow and now I'm without. Google hasn't been of much help. Thanks.

    Thanks everyone!

    Pardon my ignorance, but if I were to donate...which organization(s) should I donate to that would have an immediate impact with regards to relief/aid? The Red Cross...Salvation Army? I've heard and read about donation scams and I'd hate for my donation not to make it to those in Japan.

    It's a dark anime; don't let the first couple of episodes fool you. I've watched 9 of the episodes and it's a pretty good thus far.

    As it was recommended to me by a member on this board, I highly recommend Katanagatari. The story and animation are superb. Edit: I also highly recommend Toki o Kakeru Shōjo (The Girl Who Leapt Through Time). It came out in 2006 but it's definitely worth a watch.

    I ordered both books a while back and they should be arriving at my doorsteps tomorrow! I'm very excited to look at both. On a side note, anyone know of a good way to scan these images w/o ruining the book binding or what have ya? I ask cause I'd like to add these images on to my computer to use as desktop backgrounds. Cheers!

    Hello, I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum for this but I was hoping someone would be able to kindly help me. I'm trying to locate the version of "September" by Earth, Wind, & Fire that has the following lyrics in it: "It was a shiny day That made me feel this way Oh darling, sweet sweet darling Yeah!" I've heard it in dance remixes but I was hoping to locate the original version, if such a version exists. I've tried google and nothing comes up at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    That's awesome, thanks for sharing.

    I've watched episodes 1-10 so far and I must say I LOVE the show! It's easily one of my all time favorites. Thanks again for recommending it! I still need to watch the last two episodes but I'm working on that. I've been trying to find a place to buy the Blurays but all I keep finding are the "limited editions" which are going for $83 each. I'm not exactly looking forward to spending about $1000 for 12 Bluray discs. Would you, or anyone else for that matter, know of a place where I could buy the normal edition Blurays for this show? I've tried Amazon, YesAsia, Play-Asia, eBay, and CDJapan with no luck. I'm really hoping the limited editions aren't my only option (DVDs are out of the question)!

    Sorry to bring an old thread back from the grave, but I've been searching the forums meticulously and this is all I could find. ...Have I missed the chance to purchase this boxset? Is there any place to purchase these DVDs? Am I forever screwed, having the old R2 (assuming I can find it) and Mangle versions as my only options? eBay comes up with nothing, and Amazon has one copy that's used...and I'm not sure how trust worthy the seller is. I think I might cry....

    If you haven't already tried this, go into Display Settings, click on the Appearance tab, and then click on the Advanced button. From there, if I remember correctly, you should be able to adjust the font sizes for the windows/title bars, etc. You may also want to try lowering the resolution to increase font size across the board if messing with the dpi setting doesn't help. Those are the only methods I know of to increase font size all around. Also, I'm still not entirely sure what you mean when you say things are locked, sorry. I hope this helps. Edit: Grammar

    It's very sad to see him go. Shirley, he'll be missed. R.I.P.

    So is this all canon?

    As much as I love Macross II, nothing beats the original. I wouldn't consider this a "funny story" per say, but aside from the Macross Saga, Macross II was my first real introduction to the Macross world - before Macross II, I only knew of Robotech. About fourteen years ago I was looking at the anime section at my local Blockbuster and saw Macross II sitting there on the shelf. I recognized the name "Macross" and decided to rent it to see what it was all about. Ever since then I've been in love with Macross II and Macross. Macross II even lead me to AFM which lead me to this great community here on MW. 1) SDF Macross 1.5) Macross II 2) Macross DYRL? / FB 2012 3) Macross Plus 4) Macross Frontier 5) Macross Zero 6) Macross 7

    Quick question regarding the 25th Anniversary Edition VF-1. Is the nose cone supposed to come off pretty easily? Thanks.

    I was reading the thread about the new Judge Dredd movie that might be coming out and came across this in one of the links. It's being labeled as a "real lightsaber." Is this old news? I found it interesting so I figured I'd post it in here.

    That's awesome. "is this LOVE?" is definitely one of my all time favorites. Sadly though, I don't believe they ever used "is this LOVE?" in the TV series. I don't recall hearing "Twinkle" in the TV series either. Come to think of it, there's a track titled "Soko ni Aru no ga Mirai dakara" on the Macross II OST Volume 2 CD that never appeared in the show either. You'd think that these producers would use these tracks that they paid good money for...no?

    Has anyone else heard these two versions of "Tenshi no Enogu" before? First one sounds like it's from a concert.
  22. Oihan
    Amazing...simply amazing!!! I wish I could play the guitar and that song.
  23. Oihan
    Are there any songs/instrumentals that you guys would like to hear in the second movie? I'd love it if they manage to incorporate "is this LOVE?" in the second movie.

    From my understanding, the performance increase/decrease is negligible when it comes to DRAM timing. I use 4GB of 4-4-4-12 PC2-6400 Patriot Memory on my Windows 7 64-bit machine and I don't notice any performance issues. I can't recall a time where my rig used more than 3GB...and I tend to multi-task a lot with a bunch of programs open and running at once. That goes without saying that I would love to add more RAM...it just isn't that practical right now for me, but I digress. I would go the cheapest route by all means.

    If the live action Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat movies are any kind of indication of what to expect...I'll be passing. Edit: I guess it'd help if I read the rest of the thread first and looked at the posted dates....
