Karigurashi no Arrietty. (Warning: Sankaku Complex link,
at least mildly NSFW.)

Yes, that Arrietty.

Nifty.

messed around.

so heres a Pic to say thanks for putting up with me



hopeing my next year s as good (if no better)

I guess it's getting really good reviews. CNN.com ran a story about the world premiere in London a couple days ago, complete with video clips. That's
here. One guy who worked on it called it
""Titanic" meets "Terminator" or "Aliens"". (and no, it wasn't until relatively recently that I realized that
Sigourney Weaver was in it. I was more interested in Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana)

Upon watching the first few eps of the El Hazard OVAs...and finding myself inordinately looking at that bizarre slicked back hairstyle again and again...the
following quote came to mind.

"Good lord, is Katsuhito Jinnai what Brian J. Mason was like in high school?"

"Oh, silver blade, forged in the depths of the beyond. Heed my summons and purge those who stand in my way. Lay
waste."

Not with professional voice actors, unfortunately, but there's a sizable group of translators at AnimeSuki working on it.

And they've posted the subtitled vocal tracks on YouTube

Watching subtitled audio CDs in Japanese is a bit odd, but given the sheer amount of plot in SSX, I figure most people would at least be interested. Especially
as it introduced a few plot elements later referenced in the ViViD and Nanoha Force mangas.

Another scanlated manga about high-school students doing "nothing", but this one's NC-17. Since it is NSFW, I'll just provide the URL and let
folks copy-and-paste it into their own browser address bars...

One chapter up so far. Funny stuff.

I've recently started seeing those "we're not going to support your browser much longer" messages while browsing with Firefox Portable on a
jump drive. So I went over to Mozilla to download a more recent version -- and can't even find so much as a mention of this product. Did they do away with
Portable? Anyone know what's replaced it? (I'm not into being a crash-test dummy for Beta versions, btw)

I played a WWII air combat game called check six. The mission was intercepting a squadron of unescorted B-17's. I took my fighter on a head on pass on the
lead B-17 and missed. did an Immehlman diving loop and then fired a burst on the tail end charlie. Only got one hit. On the bomb bay. Which blew up the B-17.
Whose debris caused a whole series of sympathetic detonations to the neighboring B-17's. When the smoke was cleared, 5 out of 7 initial B-17's blew up
and the other 2 had to turn back due to severe damage. Instant ace!

We had a good laugh after the game..especially since it was the first time I played it. Crazy luck of the draw.

Need some opinions regarding fonts to use for other characters. Suggestions and critique both welcome.

Thing is that I would like each character, like in Stephen Gagne's Sailor Nothing, to have their own unique
font-face - it gives each character a bit more flavor and depth to see how they prefer to write. Here's a list of what all I am considering. They all
come from the free font download site that was linked over in the DW General Chatter forum because I want the fonts to be redistributable (for obvious
reasons).

Hino Rei

Lum Invader

Teletha Testarossa

Takamachi Miyuki

Youko

Melon

Kuno Kodachi
