Actually I forgot about this thread myself. Thanks for breathing a little life into it. Notes: Rescue Me- They retired the show but to be honest the last two seasons showed they were losing interest and Dennis O'Leary has already moved on to a new show. Rubicon- I thought had great...

here are more figurines, (which are kinda like dolls but more like "action figures).

Here are some cool figurines. Actually two of these were posted at a 2chan site by someone named chompy. I couldn't access the 2chan site directly though so I could not investigate further. Anyway....enjoy.

here is a Japanese site www.moeyo.com/

What are you looking for? specifically? A lot of subbed anime is posted at TPB. I would have reposted them all here but I just don't watch that much of it myself and I didn't think there was an interest for anime torrents for those who have trouble accessing ThePiratesBay. The video and audio...

Realistically it only matters if Chompy thinks it is a bad idea or not. It is good to be the King. So all the peasants can do is adapt and petition the King to change his mind to find an altertative that will appeal to more of his loyal subjects. This is the lot of the peasant.

I haven't seen any direct link posted anywhere for these but then again I wasn't really looking. I will keep an eye out though and post a link if I come across it. I did see somewhere that there are ads for these figures in "robot art mangas".

Will explaining it to you really help? For giggles I will try: You said, and I quote; "written by the typical prude anglo-american". That would be a racist and prejudicial statement because: 1. Americans are a very diverse people of different ethnic orgins and they do not all behave the...

That is one of the lamest attempts at a racial slur I have ever heard. Worse for who? you? These people are in the business of exploitation. Exploitation is not good. A synonym for exploitation is victimization which means to victimize. How does that even sound good. These businesses do not...

That is a Japanese four-lined snake, (yellow-jawed type), or Shima-Hebi. They are not poisonous, and feed on frogs, lizards, insects, rodents, small birds and their eggs.

You assume wrong grasshopper. That does not mean that downloading from cyberlockers is not safe but your ISP not only knows what sites you visit but what links you visit. If your ISP keeps logs, and I believe Japanese ISPs are required to, (have to check that though), or the cyberlocker keeps...

nice post, thanks for sharing that here

A VPN is probably a better bet for P2P file transfers. However if you use a proxy remember to set your connection settings properly in your P2P client settings. I am not familar with all P2P clients but in Utorrent, for example, you would click OPTIONS then click PREFERENCES then click...

That is the official line? First time in the history of Akiba-Online this has happenned and it is because of server bills? Ryushare gave Chompy too good of a deal for him to pass up sounds like to me. No skin off my back. I hope the transition to this goes smoothly and the moderators don't...

I don't get to eat too much Japanese cooked food myself, I usually go Chinese. Not because they are better but because around here there are ten Chinese restraunts for every Japanese one and they are much cheaper. Still...eating Japanese food in Japan would be "the shit" and shallow or not it...

Put down the kool-aid please, you have had enough.

I actually researched that statement a bit before I made it, I suppose I should have delved further. The Taliban coming across the border from Afghanistan and Pakistan, which border China, sounded very reasonable and believable. That does not mean my information was correct. I am not beyond...

In all fairness the Muslims don't like the Chinese much either. Most people aren't aware of this but before the Trade Center Incident the Taliban had been causing mayhem in China for years and still is a thorn in their side. China is not very tolerant of the whole religious freedom concept...

269 innocent people died in my "analogy" because there were tensions between two nations that had no serious intention of going to war with each other. It was not only a regrettably incident but a preventable one, someone just got trigger happy. It was not a good time in those poor bastards...

I suppose I did sound a bit like an alarmist but I have lived a few years and know a bit about gambling and table stakes. The PRC are not predictable enough for me. Do I think war is likely? No, and I said so. If you are capable of reading you should have read that as well, you quoted it. Am I...

I don't know if I would say imminent but it is a scary possibility. Usually financial and international political influences, (yes, even nations deal with peer pressure), guide a countries decisions to go to war. Those indicatations seem non-existent here. There are noteworthy exceptions to this...

It is not about resources, don't let the press fool you. This is about politics and grandstanding. People die for their country for most ludicrous of reasons at times. Something like this could escalate unbelievably. WWIII is not totally out of the question. It would be insane, yes, but that...

So, you have no problem sharing your airsoft outings with us, (whch look fun I admit), but you question my interest in your wedding pictures? Please share the photos of your joyful union here with us. (I am curious who performed the ceremony or did I miss that somewhere....)

You do have talent aquamarine, I don't think there is any doubt in that. I do enjoy some pictures more than others but that is more likely due to personal preference rather than anything else. Some of your most mundane pictures of ordinary items take on a life of their own, I am enchanted by...

I have actually never understood how calling someone a Jap can be considered derogatory since it just seems short for the word Japanese, yet I have been told it is so. It does seem that some people have used it in an insulting way though, no denying that. China seems to be laying claim to a...

Go make your pro-communist arguments to the Dali Lama, I am sure he would love to hear them.

Maybe..... but realistically...no. China is no threat for world domination schemes. Alliances between Europe, Australia, the US and many smaller but no less proud countries would make China look pretty isolated and somewhat small. However smaller countries like Taiwan and Vietnam might have...

Let me quote from The Potsdam Declaration, ( also known as the Proclamation Defining Terms for Japanese Surrender), signed by the Nationalist Government of China, the United States and the United Kingdom: Also allow me to quote the wiki on The Treaty of Peace with Japan,(commonly known as...

I don't mind being disagreed with intelligently so I appreciate the input. I have to disagree with your interpertation of the facts though. The US relinquished control of the Senkaku Islands to Japan as part of the Okinawa Reversion Treaty considering them a part of the Ryukyu Islands, (...

Just how dense are you? In what alternate reality do you live in? Stars and Stripes is a US Military News source and has been around since 1861. Nor did I quote any "propaganda". I quoted an article that supplied pertinent facts. Unlike the made up quote you used and said was from the same...

But referring to any other countries newspapers, news blogs or their governments website is okay with you? Not that you have ever given any sources other than your own coloured, abusive and intentionally insulting opinions which you consider your "Freedom of Speech"???? As long as you get to...

There was an interesting article in "Stars and Stripes" about a year ago that I think is pertinent here. And no, I am not trying to stir up more anti-american rhetoric, try and keep it to yourselves for a change. China's claim on sea leads Asian neighbors to strengthen ties with U.S...

Actually I just didn't know the answer.....

Chinese media berated a military drill between US and Japan amid escalating tensions over disputed islands in the East China Sea. According to Asahi Shimbun, about 2,000 US Marines and 40 Japanese troops will take part in the exercises on the islands of Guam and Tinian, including a simulation...

If there is one country China holds a grudge against more than Taiwan it is Japan. It is probably not very hard to gather sentiment against Japan in China, easy as throwing a log on a fire. Japan didn't just "beat" China in WWII, (known as the Second Sino-Japanese War), they humilated them by...

hmmmmmm..... source: http://www.mofa.go.jp/region/asia-paci/senkaku/senkaku.html Time to introduce some facts into this discussion: So while not directly a part of ancient China there is a long point in history when many areas, inclucing Taiwan, Korea, Okinawa and the Senkaku/...

Playing Alchemy Meister right now, (with English translation). It is posted in the torrent section. A fun RPG/Visual Novel/Eroge. At least I like it. The Japanese are wonderful, first I am doing quests and fighting monsters, following the storyline as I go, and then the next thing I know I am...

love this song, featuring Matt Damon and the gorgeous Kirsten Kreut (music by Lustra) 0Vyj1C8ogtE

I agree with you for the most part Summer-Time-Fun but public torrents beat private any day. Public torrents increase the life of the torrent and the number of people sharing the file. As far as filesharing goes, it is all about the money and it was about reliablilty, ( a myth that continues...

peruse torrentfreak.com for some good ideas, they keep abreast of all the new and vital information for us torrent nuts.

You could always install Tor, no need for anyone knowing your surfing habits https://www.torproject.org/vidalia another good site that many Pirate Bay posters also frequent and post at is kickasstorrents kat.ph/

I don't care if I am "wasting my breath" or not but I will try once more to plead my case. The majority of visitors here are Japanese, this is, to the best of my knowledge, a fact. The majority of the JAV posters are, at the very least, from asia, (I admit, this is an assumption). So why not...

Change your VPN. Not because I know it is a bad VPN but beccause I don't know it isn't. http://torrentfreak.com/which-vpn-providers-really-take-anonymity-seriously-111007/ You could try emailing torrentfreak for some confirmation. Also VPNs' leak info. On Windows clients, it is recommended...

I appeal to Akiba-Online members to please report rude and harrassing posts to the crack moderation team that works tirelessly and thanklessly here to make AO a better forum. Let them know that trolls and trolling are not appreciated here.

some comments I wish I had never read

Now if the title was an eye-opener to you then you can understand why I bothered to post this. source: http://www.stripes.com/news/japanese-troops-to-learn-hand-to-hand-combat-from-us-soldiers-1.172002

I found this interesting reading, maybe some here will too. The video: v5JJ3LnBAbQ
