I'm kind of on the fence, too. On the one hand, it's not like we should be playing God and deciding what is right or wrong to the extent that we'll purposefully take lives for it, but on the other, the money saved, revenge taken for victims etc etc make for some good pro-death penalty arguments. Tha...

Do you mean TV Tokyo? That's an actual station. I don't know how you can watch it on the internet, though.

They re-released Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa in Japan late last year; it's got English subtitles and is fantastic quality. That is, if you can't wait for the American release.

Weren't there a couple of movies made? I saw them on Deep Discount DVD but wasn't sure if I should fork out all that money getting them sent over here.

If anyone's seen them, are they any good?

Saw Act 47 last night. [spoiler]I couldn't stop crying when Mars broke down after the battle. I too think Venus committed suicide; she knew the surgery wouldn't save her and wanted to spare everyone the pain of her dying completely unexpectedly. Minako knew she was going to die - she left a note pra...

Concerning colour wheels, here's a page that's fairly good with explaining hues, contrast, saturation etc etc. Though it's aimed at people designing for those with bad eyesight, it might be useful. Be sure to have a scroll through.

*raises hand as a photoshopper* I used to make wallpapers a lot, though not so much anymore. Tips and tricks include: Simple can often be better than crowded. Don't do everything at once! Master layers first. Text is your friend, especially when used as a series of shapes, not necessarily as somethi...

Although in the R movie we actually don't see her at that point, so she could have been disapeering. We do see her: right before the scene where the senshi beg Usagi to wake up, Chibiusa is sitting on the roof with the cats and Luna P. Luna hopes they're all right and Chibiusa says that it's OK, be...

On both the back and insert of the Pioneer S DVD vol. III the main part of Jupiter's tiara is a beautiful shade of bright green while the jewel, just visible through her hair, is gold. I think it's a shot from the show so I'll have to go back and see if it's there too. Now I can't look at it without...

S Movie Shabon Spray, aside from the error, looks pretty much the same as the TV series attack to me. I don't think it would have been too hard to paint over the gap, either digitally or on the faulty cel, if they still had them. After all, DiC did it all the time.

I used to be the proud player of an alto saxophone, though I eventually discovered I had little to no musical talent, began to hate practicing and eventually quit. I wish I'd kept it up... it'd be great to be a part of a band with my friends.
