In America, the word Otaku is thrown around a lot between anime fans. It's lost any real meaning. So I guess it wouldnt cover casual fans but it easily covers most others.

Edit: fixed a typo

Once again, Femto contradicts himself. Nothing new here.

My brothers and I were re-watching 'This is Spinal Tap' last night. The movie never gets old.

In America, Otaku simply means a fan of anime.

In Japan, it means a person who is overly obsessed with any particular thing. So you could be a rice cake otaku .... i guess.

Which means you're both right and you're both wrong. :P

PI is a great movie and is way better than most of these Hollywood movies, especially considering that it had a very small budget. Calling it terrible is insane. I could understand if you personally didn't like it but you must concede that it was at least an ambitious effort from the director.

The Pirate Bay's back! Search function is currently disabled but, you can still browse around.

They are working on being hosted in 4 separate countries, 2 of which will just host the announce servers (trackers). This would make it even harder to take down, than it previously was.

I always assumed that Tom Cruise was 'the last samurai'. Just look at the posters for it. You don't see Katsumoto, you see Algren (Tom Cruise) dressed as a samurai with "The Last Samurai" in huge letters. Plus, I'm pretty sure Katsumoto and crew had accepted him as a fellow samurai by the ...

It's not just a laser gun and sword add-on. That's not a fair analogy. You have free range of motion unlike an arcade game where the character automatically walks around while you just simply point and shoot. The gameplay is unique in that it combines all of that into one game. It looks like a LOT o...

First Samurai 7 now this. There's nothing to expand on. There's no way they could make the movie any better. It was perfect as is.

How about they just re-release it in theaters in it's original form?
Oh yea, cuz people are idiots.

I really hope that isnt true, and is just bad reporting or something. To think that a party could form and openly say such statements is horrifying.

Ayanami is almost as big of an idiot as I am, so I wouldn't pay any attention to his last post. As you can see, he initially had replied to a thread that he didnt even read. Now that's commitment to stupidity that is only surpassed by my own. :lol: He flamed you for a reason. You should respect that...
