So I am watching this silly little anime where the boy turns into an awesome super heroine loli to fight the bad guys. If the series remains watchable I'll post it in a few days. Thought you might like it. Fucking crazy what happened in Orlando, huh?

The Last Ship, a so-so "drama" with nice patriotic overtones will not be seen tonight and will start next week. Mainly because the debut was upstaged by the mass murder in Orlando and they want better ratings for their 3rd season premiere (it just sounds better for them to say: "in light of the...

A shot of an area near Shinjuku Station in Tokyo, an area where job-hunting schools often try to entice new students, is seen in this photo. The Tokyo consumer affairs center is warning college students to be careful of "job-hunting" schools, which can carry hefty price tags and cause...

I kind of struggle with what to say about this anime. I didn't really love this but I did like it. It was akin to watching someone climb Mount Everest: Not the most exciting thing but as you watch them battle obstacle after obstacle you end up rooting for them. The humor isn't particularly good...

I have actually been pondering this because nowadays most of my Christmas movie list is with more modern adaptations/cinema. "Jingle All the Way (1996)" , "Oliver! (1968)" (not really centered around Christmas at all but the best time of the year to watch this classic), one of the Scrooge...

Miracle on 34th Street (1947)

Yep, long time ago. That was after O'Connor refused to do the movie. I looked it up in the Wiki and apparently Donald was offered the co-starring role in White Christmas but had contracted a disease from the mule and they went with Danny Kaye instead. That must have stuck in his craw until the...

OTSU — Representatives from one of the most important Buddhist temples in Japan dating back to the eighth century admitted Thursday a high-ranking monk hit a young trainee monk, rupturing his eardrum. In a rare announcement, the Enryaku-ji temple offered an apology to its followers and pledged...

That is like saying that a book on the American Revolutionary War written by someone from Britain is more accurate than one written from America. All it actually does is provide a different perspective. 裏には裏がある the reverse side has its reverse side

Lesnar has taken a beating in the octagon but he submitted Shane Corwin who was a knockout specialist. Santos beat Corwin but never fought Lesnar, that was Cain Velasquez that TKO'd Lesnar. Santos looked great in his last outing, fooled the shit out of me because he looked awful against Overeem...

Art is an expression that is greater than words can form. Anime is a vast canvas for the artist to use allowing storytelling, visual and audio forms to convey his emotions and thoughts to an audience. Art does not have to be entertaining, it does not even have to be good. Art is that terrible...

A wrestler can't just shoot, it makes him predictable. Lesnar has the power to strike.....I wouldn't want to be the lamp post that gets by him but he lacks speed and defense. Lesnar blames a lot of this on his struggle with his rare blood disease, that he wasn't fighting at his best. It is why...

I don't use Google myself, (except when I look for takeout food, lol). There are some oldtimer anime fans that come to this board but I am not sure they will notice your query here. I hear El Gringo comes to chat so if you ever see his name there be sure to ask him. Redrooster doesn't share much...

Porn stars have a hard time making it in mainstream movies in America as well. I suppose the two most successful ones would be Traci Lords and Ron Jeremy....neither of which did any voice overs for cartoons for Disney. But in America you couldn't get away with a statement like this.....you...

It is an Otaku thing. In this case it fits in well with the characters condition. As to wear it originated? I don't know, you might have better luck asking it in the anime discussion thread. Rumor has it was a fashion started by gravure idols and got picked up by manga artists. I have no way of...

This is a retooling of an older anime "Casshan" that I have never seen, so I can't comment on that. It caught my eye and I thought I would take a look at it. It is a slow paced dark anime that nonetheless held my interest. Loved the artwork and each episode was told in an effort to further the...

Once Upon a Time in America: Sounds like the directors cut but that was a long movie either way. It is pretty decent. Some really good performances. I prefer Pacino in Scarface and the movie isn't as long.

Abandoned Japanese boy released from hospital TOKYO (AP) -- A Japanese boy who was found nearly a week after he was abandoned in a forest by his parents as punishment waved to onlookers as he was released from a hospital Tuesday. Seven-year-old Yamato Tanooka was met with loud camera...

Loved Donald O'Connor. Never figured out what happened to him. I do know That the "Francis The Talking Mule" series really got to him. He felt upstaged by the mule and I think it diminished his confidence. That series was the inspiration for the "Mister Ed" series (both animals had the same...

Well, I was going to watch UFC 200 anyway, if I was able. But now it is a must see. Brock Lesnar Returns! his opponent is Mark Hunt and that just might be the swan song for one of them, Hunt is huge. However, if you think that Lesnar can't body slam a 263lb plus guy, well, I think he can.

So I can never figure out the target audience with some anime and this is a good example of that. My first thought was this was a kids anime, targeted at middle schoolers which are the primary characters of this series. As I watched this though I found out that I had no trouble enjoying this...

Well it is about time. Welcome to Akiba-Online! May your visits here be enjoyable and rewarding.

ufc 199 Spoilers ahead: Don't miss the Fight Pass early prelims...if for no other reason than this first fight. Fucking unbelievable. 2nd fight...not so much but it did include Alis' son-in-law. 3rd fight...another winner. Love this sport...as long as I don't have to compete. These guys are...

Abandoned Hokkaido boy's survival aided by string of lucky circumstances A 7-year-old boy left in the mountains as a disciplinary measure, who survived to be discovered six days later, was aided by a string of lucky circumstances that helped keep him alive. The child, Yamato Tanooka, of...

These aren't things I have ever cared about. That does not mean they are facetious comments, I just con't care about the issue. Most stuff online are about PMS affecting mental attitude and the menstruation cycle affecting weight-cuts. So it is an issue with female fighters but it is one they...

Peter Lorre was fun in anything and everything. Acting what movies are missing the most of nowadays (that and scriptwriting). Indie films, while great, tend to be too avante garde and hollywood was ruined (as well as saved) by the SAG. In the days when acting was a job you went to and Hollywood...

If you have seen some of the great fights in womens MMA and still don't like it, well, you have that right. I enjoy it more, actually. Now women fighting men would be ludicrous (that is just for the movies) but these catfights are serious stuff and fun to watch. Neither the men or women are your...

UFC 199 is coming up very soon so I thought I would make some comments on it: Luke Rockhold is the shit and while I have every reason to believe he will not only defeat Bisping and retain his title I have even more of a reason to think he will finsih him. However.....Bisping is finally getting...

Kanagawa police appoint Kamen Joshi idol to ‘Molester Eradication’ post Anna Tachibana (center) YOKOHAMA (TR) – A member of all-girl idol group Kamen Joshi (Masked Girls) was named as “Molester Eradication Ambassador” by Kanagawa Prefectural Police at a ceremony here on Wednesday to launch...

okay..... Hokkaido boy's rescue draws wild cheers; father apologizes HAKODATE, Hokkaido -- The father of a 7-year-old boy who was found safe on the morning of June 3 after remaining missing for six days in a mountain forest in Hokkaido, apologized profusely for forcing his son to go through...

HAKODATE, Japan (Kyodo) -- A 7-year-old boy who was missing for six days in mountain forests in northern Japan after being left there alone by his parents for misbehaving was found safe Friday. Yamato Tanooka was last seen around 5 p.m. Saturday on a forest path in Nanae in Hokkaido, where...

TOKYO — It looks like a toy, speaks like a robot, it dances and sings, but most importantly answers your phone calls and sends your emails. Meet RoBoHon — the world’s first humanoid robot smartphone. The 19.5-cm-tall robot phone manufactured by Sharp Corp, officially went on sale Thursday...

not that I know of. This should probably in the P2{ discussion thread but I don't think you are going to get much more help there except advice on how to use a torrent hash on another P2P program (which concievably could help).

you just don't read Japanese newspapers, lol. Japan has there own space program and nuclear submarines. They are still on the cutting edge. Japan recently passed some comprehensive laws on computer operated cars and I think I have a post here somewhere about robot drones assisting in daycares...

Excerpt: The Democratic Party has appointed a committee tasked with drafting the party’s platform. The 15-member panel includes MPAA lobbyist Howard L Berman, an attorney and former U.S. Representative who not only co-sponsored SOPA and tried to enshrine P2P network sabotage in law, but has also...

Funny, I was reminded of Monica Seles almost immediately. Lucky girl got off easy as her assailant went after her with a 9 inch blade (over 22 centimeters) but it pretty much not only ruined her career and her confidence but it showed that the West Germany legal system was....."confused"...

Loved the hound. So I am looking forward to the return of Powers from, of all places, the Playstation channel. The first season was fucking great. This series is done the way a super hero series should be done, with imagination and originality. Mind you, there is of course some similarities to...

Same artist on both projects: Toriyama Akira

She did make the Fappening and she did a scene in the movie "the Falling". No real big deal actually. I am more interested in the Secret U.S. Classic next weekend which is one of the qualifiers for the Women's Artistic Gymnastics Olympic Team. Very interested if my favorite Ragan Smith will...

Just finished watching it myself. I hope that "priest" gets what is coming to him but good. Hate that guy as much as I hated the boy king (not to crazy about the cowardly new king either). Aya, great character, hope she lives a long time in this. No telling though, not with this series. Everyone...

Big fan of Kirk Douglas, they just don't make them like that anymore. Kirk couldn't play a small part if he tried, dominating the screen is what he did. One of my favorite movies of his would be the one he did with John Wayne: The War Wagon. There are very few personalities that can stand toe to...

UFC Fight Night 88 had some pretty good bouts and the main event was a treat. Strange stoppage in the first early prelims as Chris de la Rocha, bloodied from taking multiple hits throughout the first round and a half, had been dishing out some punishment of his own to his opponent Adam...

Glad to have you here!

nice one. I didn't always see the attraction in Saaya, to be honest. Her nose is a little big and her hips are a little wide and she didn't seem, at first, to be that attractive. Then I noticed how stunning she could look by the most subtle change of expression or glance and how her nose...

CAIRO -- A new image purporting to show missing freelance journalist Jumpei Yasuda, 42, was released online on the night of May 29, local time. Yasuda went missing in Syria in June last year. In the new photo, the man claimed as Yasuda holds a white sheet of paper reading, "Please help me. This...

Finished watching Tokyo Drift, awesome movie, one of the unheralded best of the Fast and Furious franchise. Love the trivia section of imdb: The drifting in the movie was not CGI; it was performed by professional drivers. As reported in a recent Sport Compact Car, Rhys Millen, his father Rod...

Do you realize who said that? My favorite general of all time, Napoleon. Still, revisionists tend to gloss over facts. Sure Japanese internment camps were awful yet that does not mean there were never any Japanese spies caught in America. People tend to forget the world population in the 1940s'...

Great cast. Basil Rathbone, Lon Chaney Jr., Bela Lugosi, John Carradine are just some of the best actors of their day. Maybe even of all time. I just finished watching The Fast and The Furious (2001). A contemporary classic and the best of the series. Tempted to watch Tokyo Drift next, I...

Love a little derailment. Part of the fun of discussion threads. I had long been a supporter of Trumans controversial decision although I think it is important to note that it was controversial. Even Germany didn't treat their prisoners of war like the Japanese did and after Okinawa, let alone...
