Welcome to Gaia! ::

I've been looking for those two items my whole life. My life is now complete. xd

Reminds me of what Disney does with their over-marketing whatchamacallits. I hope they don't do that with the live action movie, whenever they get around to making it. I want Lupin to be better known, not over-franchised. That's the term I was looking for. Over-franchised. Evil... gonk

Yeah, it is actually surprising that it's not more known here. Surprising and sad. But what's even sadder is when people on anime forums say it's the dumbest anime because it's old and looks dumb. confused Wow... That'd be like me saying pencils are the dumbest writing utensils because they are wooden and roll off tables. So, I guess when people stop caring so much about what something looks like and start caring about the story and characters then we will all be much happier. 3nodding Because I watched Samurai Champloo and although it looks good, I thought it was so stupid and repetitive. And then s-CRY-ed or whatever. I watched five minutes of that and turned it off. And FMA....*shudder* Same with Wolf's Rain, watched two episodes and didn't like it.

Very true when Monkey Punch said the story is the most important thing. 3nodding

And I just went off on a small rant, so I'll stop now. xd

I have a couple non-rolling pencils. They came with a pencil set I got and I have never used them and have no idea what they are for. xp

I don't see that many different animes. Only when I would go to a friends house and watch the anime on TechTV, but even those I didn't care for that much. Although I only saw Betterman or something like that and another series that I don't know the name of. I'm more into anime movies than shows. More because they begin and end in two hours. xd

That was the only reason I watched Wolf's Rain because it was advertised as "From the creators of Cowboy Bebop" which I think they needed to say to get people to watch it. Although my brother really liked it. I've never seen Puni Puni Poemy, but have heard from a couple people how weird it is.

Yay, an earthquake. xd But anyway... Yeah I hope stuff with things. I have no idea what I was gonna say. *insert some sort of meaning sentence here* sweatdrop

I actually prefer SNES and NES games to PS2 or Xbox games. Graphics didn't seem to play a big role in those games and they were fun. It's like when I say my favorite FF game is FFVI and people laugh at me because the "graphics sucked on that game" and on and on. rolleyes Although it is funny when people try to argue with you that Hellsing or Rurouni Kenshin is better than Lupin. xd And I agree with you on FMA. I liked two episodes I saw and that was mainly because they had a semi-good story. The characters really need help, though.

I've never seen Evangelian, but I have heard it's depressing. I almost went to see the movie, but it only played for three days out in West L.A. so I never made it. And I rarely ever rent movies, otherwise I would have watched it.

The Adult Swim people bug me for some reason. And I am not familiar with them enough for them to bug me. But they do. sweatdrop I think their little quote thing that they do has a lot to do with it.

GitS is an awesome show, though. 3nodding

That sounds like a cool movie, or movies I guess, to see. I wonder if that is some weird French thing, a thief with all those characterizations. That or he liked the Arsene Lupin books and became a copycat.

Another piece of news from the Lupin mailing list...


I wish they had something like that with subtitles. That would be very nice. ^_^
I'd watch the movies anyway, though.
Lupin movies aren't too hard to understand.

They are.
Aside from Dragonball Z.
That's part of the appeal, though. They're simple and self-contained, so you can watch just about any one and understand. They stay simple without being stupid or bad. It stays straightforward.
That's why I can watch 155+ eps of Lupin, but not of Inuyasha.
