It's been over 2 days now ... so far, it looks like SailorBoy has the best chance of stumping everyone.

I think a 10-day limit might be too much ... I mean, in 10 days, this thread might be off the main page! Maybe it should be limited to ... I don't know, 4 or 5?

It's "Love Chronicle" from Full Moon o Sagashite . Good call, SailorBoy. It might not have been the most difficult one, but like I said, it's one of my favourites. The anime is really good (52 episodes in total), although I doubt it stands a chance of ever being licensed, seeing how it's centered a...

Just a quick Fumoffu note: It wound up being 12 episodes overall. The 2nd one was cut out because it dealt with a child being kidnapped, and actual child kidnappings were occuring in Japan at the time. However, now the first DVD is out (which includes that episode), and it has been fansubbed, so the...

*Looks at Tiff and Sailor X * Hopefully, everything's been straightened out now. So, getting back on track: Here's one of my all-time favourite anime songs (probably #1 or #2 on my list) ... it has really great harmony, by the way: naze darou koi no shikata sae sukkari wasureteta deai wa itsuka kuru...

*Steps in meekly* I actually know this song ... it's the Full Metal Panic! OP theme, "Tomorrow". (I actually have the full version of this song ... it's really quite good).

Thanks a lot, Dinozore! I was just really curious about that stuff. I've seen it called both Tessaiga and Tetsusaiga before This all revolves around the fact that, if the Japanese symbol for "tsu" is written smaller than usual, it becomes a special character. In the anime, it's quite clear that the ...

I'm curious about something concerning the dub ... specifically, the names of certain attacks/weapons, as well as some other general stuff. Whenever I look stuff up on the web, it's hard to tell if the people are using the romanized version (or directly translating it from Japanese), or if it's the ...

I've actually really enjoyed this series. I've been downloading it, but it's only been fansubbed up to episode 31 (there are 52 episodes total).

I haven't read any of the manga.

It sounds like it could very well be a virus. 1) Do you have antivirus software? 2) Do you have anything that monitors incoming/outgoing traffic, like a firewall? 3) Do you keep up with Windows XP updates at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ regularly? 4) Have you downloaded anything recently (esp...

We drove from Alaska to NC when I was 8 years old, and we passed through Canada. We spent a whopping 4 days there (2 at the Edmonton Mall *drools*) before we came into Montana. I used to live just west of Edmonton, so I've been to West Edmonton Mall many times (it was about 15 minutes from our hous...

Rugby World Cup is over ...

I don't know how many people were following this, but the Rugby World Cup was on in Australia over the past 6 weeks. Sportsnet showed every game, and the final aired here on Saturday from 2-4:30 AM. I taped it, and just watched it. It came down to England vs. Australia. England was the #1 ranked tea...

I say let's see how much this thread is used these next couple days, and work from there. I'd rather have (a) one thread sparnigly used for both or (b) two threads used excessively for each.

If there's enough demand for it, we could split this into two: - Leave this one here, but make it unrelated to anime - Start another one (I guess in "Other Anime"), but make it anime-only songs. If a lot of people don't really want to do it, then leaving it as one thread with a mix of both types is ...

Having problems with my computer mouse

I've been having this very strange problem with my computer. It seems as though, sometimes, my mouse takes a single-click and thinks it's a double-click, acting accordingly. (By the way, this is running on Windows XP). At first, I thought it was my mouse. I looked it up (I have a Microsoft IntelliMo...
