Ok, here's something that should give you some idea of what I'm talking about. Some very nice artwork from the anime - it's in a loop, so one image follows another - high bandwidth, I'm sure, so if that's a problem...

Speaking of Japanese stuff, today I was watching Godzilla's Revenge and I noticed that in the beginning sequence one of the monsters makes a noise that sounds almost exactly like Howard Dean's famous scream--I kid you not! :)
