Hey, I just notiiced that the three talismans of the Outer senshi seem to correspond to the three legendary treasures of Japan: a crystal ball, a mirror, and a sword. I wonder if this was intentional?

I don't exactly agree with the voice acting---Lloyd and Kratos are probably the only good ones---and Colette's voice actress is probably the worst. Despite that, though, she is my favorite character in the game. She is so cute! Yeah, after a replay I'm beginning to see your point. I really like Col...

One movie that I would recommend is a Brazilian movie named Cicaca de Deus, otherwise known as City of God. It basically depicts the rise and fall of a local drug lord named Lil Ze, a kid who was born with "the gift of crime." It sort of like The Godfather, only it takes place in the slums of Rio de...

Alright, I love Teen Titans! In my opinion, its probably the best superhero show out right now. My favorite character would have to be Starfire. I really think she's cute and sweet, and I really like her voice. Raven would be my second favorite, since I like her voice and sarcasm. I don't really hat...

o_O; dude, she was tall, but she was LANKY. She was SKINNY, and quite tiny in terms of physical shape. And I don't recall seeing huge boobs on the kid or anything. When I was 12, I started getting breasts. So it's possible that Hotaru is the same way. Besides, this is anime we're talking about.In t...

Is it possible for there to be a Mary Sue in the canon material? Usually there is a little more leniency with how the original authors create their characters. I always had the impression that a Mary Sue was annoying not because the fan fiction author stuck herself into the story (which isn't too ra...

-_- that would make Hotaru older or around the same age as the inner senshi. That isn't the case. Hotaru is younger than they are. Can't you tell just by looking at them?? Never mind the fact that she becomes Chibiusa's best friend. I don't know... Hotaru in Sailorstars was definitely around 12 yea...

Sailormoon's Impact on Anime

I've had this question in my mind for a while now. I've heard that while Sailormoon was pretty revolutionary when it first came out, and introduced many concepts which have now become cliches in anime. I just want to know how correct my assertions are since I can not seem to find the information tha...

Does anyone remember the Chibi-usa vampire story in the SuperS Special? You know how the the new girl lives inside an old Embassy? Now I haven't seen an Embassy before, but doesn't it seem weird that there is a GRAVEYARD inside an Embassy?

Tales of Symphonia

I just finished playing through my first round of Tales of Symphonia and I was just wondering if anyone else had played it. I personally think its one of the best RPGs I've ever played. The battle system is fast, intuitive and fun. The characters are interesting and look great (Kosuke Fujima, the au...

Anime Noir - Its opera and European techno mixed together. I suggest listening to Salva Nos (its the batte theme and it's really good). Rurouni Kenshin - The OAV soundtrack is some of the best orchestral music I have ever heard. The anime soundtrack ain't too shabby either (very good BGM.) Oh My God...

Dinozore brings up a good point: maybe they mean something along the lines of "best made for an American audience with such-and-such intended audience", in which case I could see their arguments; while not accurate translations of the original shows in the least, Sailormoon, and to a certain extent...

True, she was useless at first. But when you get to the episodes later on in the series, I think it was first the Orachimaru arc, you'll see her become more useful. Yeah if you consider [spoiler]setting some useless traps and biting the enemy being useful. Granted the enemies were pretty strong, bu...

I would like to see Black Jack made in to a movie. I'm just curious on how they are going to make the movie exciting and fit in to the bizarre premise of showing Black Jack's godlike medical skills.

Has anyone heard of the movie "Time Stranger"? Its an anime movie from th 80s, and it is absolutely one of the dumbest movies I have ever seen.

I heard the Eva movie is going to be done by the people who made the LOTR movies, so the special effects should be pretty damn good. I've seen some designs for the Evas themselves, and they look really cool, actually. At least that's one bright spot in the fact that its being made in the U.S. Consi...

It's implied that it has to do with the cross between moon and earth (usagi and mamoru). If you'll notice, Neo Queen Serenity and Queen Serenity stop aging too, but they stay as adults...however, Chibiusa stops as aging as a child.
