LOL! Someone should animate a cartoon of Jar-Jar getting eaten by Gollum :)
What were you doing over there?
BTW,I am on episode 3 of FMA and I am really liking it so far.
No, just FMA as it's fansubbed. And I'll tell you, the waiting can be murder... it airs in Japan on Saturdays, and then the raw (untranslated file) is available Sunday or Monday, but that does me a fat lot of good... then one must wait until a fansub group does it. The group I've been getting it from is really good but not the fastest. And this week was a special two-episode deal...
But! A different fansub group did the two eps, and I have them now... got to see the first of them. It was very good. The hero was threatening the audience, in the teaser for the next episode: "I've just transmuted your televisions, if you change the channel, it'll explode".
When I move I'll look for a new thing. Maybe try renting some if there's a decent selection in town somewhere. Or watch some of the movies I haven't seen.
ROFL....you're sick!!! EEWWWW I didnt need that image on a Monday!!!
I was lurkin'. I do that sometimes.
Did you get the second package of cookies yet? I didn't want to leave your kids hanging too long... glad you're liking it. I really love this series and it keeps getting better. I'm almost up to date (there are 10 episodes yet to air) and there haven't been any indications that it's suddenly going to get stupid.
"I deliberately worded the questions to exclude air-raid-only actions; apparently not well enough :)"
Nah, I'm just being picky :) You worded it fine, as far as I can tell. I'd need to check the Morocco and Japan things to be 100% sure myself but I assume you're probably right.
Great...just found out why the toilet was actin' funny last time I went. The water to the WHOLE CAMPUS is out. Grrr...they brought in porta-potties, but UGH!
That's just wrong.

ROFL!
So it sounds like they're still making new FMA episodes?--cool! I didn't realize you were getting new episodes so fast after their overseas release. Awesome!
"ROFL....you're sick!!! EEWWWW I didnt need that image on a Monday!!!"
LOL! Actually I'm about to go eat, so I shouldn't have put that image in my own head, either--ugh!
Lunchtime! Back in a few.
I think they're probably made all the episodes; it's a 52-episode (two season) show, and as they just aired 41 and 42, they're almost done... I know they're making a movie, to be released in Japan next year, and hopefully some OAVs.
The beauty of the internet is that it connects people with too much time who want to watch anime with people who have too much time and want to translate anime.
It's Monday everywhere, isn't it?
Appointment soon... yay...
52 episodes? Well, I'll hate to see it end, but I'm sorta glad that will eventually be some sort of closure for our intrepid duo.
Oh, no we haven't received the second package yet. I'll let you know when we do.
I'd expect it today or tomorrow. Depends on the snail-mail service.
Tell me about hating to see it end... but I can start to see threads coming together... I'm betting it won't end all happy, though. But as long as there's no "Dilandu is my sister!" moment, I'll be fine...
"I'll be contacting you later as I am at my work right now.:0)"
Got it and just sent a reply; thanks!
So did you ever watch that show? I used to watch reruns on the SciFi Channel.
I am a big fan of the Dark Shadows series :0)
"The beauty of the internet is that it connects people with too much time who want to watch anime with people who have too much time and want to translate anime."
That's what the Internet was originally designed for!--that's why Al Gore invented it. . .
An FMA movie sounds good! I still wanna see the "Kenshin" one. Want to see "Akira", too, so I can see what all the fuss is about.
Hey, did you ever hear of a series called "Lum--Urusei Yatsura"? I'm reading some stuff on it now and am wondering if it was an influence on "Ranma".
Thanks ma'am
Hi, Engineer dude!
It was a neat series! I really liked the episodes I saw. Unfortunately I jumped in in the middle of the series and I guess there's like a zillion episodes, so I never quite caught up on the plot. I almost bought some episodes on tape at the used bookstore recently.
I received a forwarded e-mail message this morning from Lt. Paul.
