Mmm, Scotch. Wish I had some right now.

Not to derail this into another grammar discussion, but IIRC it BEARS a resemblance TO the Ottoman Empire, or SHARES a resemblance WITH it, but you can't mix and match. (-:

Yes, and I noticed that you did warn everyone not to be doing anything important before clicking that, that was nice. Sometimes there's a fine line between a funny AFD gag and sheer dickitry, so it was nice of you to try to minimize the impact for any of us who might have been at work or otherwise i...

Even if I hadn't been able to see that that link was actually linking me to someplace other than the URL that the text of link supposedly said, I still could have seen that the date in the text of the link was "2009-04-01." Nice try, though. (-:

A little more self plugging here. Let me know if it gets annoying and I'll stfu. (-: For those who didn't see it as part of my April Fools' joke, here's Gantz, Saiyonios Zoddson, Gantz! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18a61iX1LNg (For best results, click the link and make sure to choose the "HD&...

All news on the Internet is subject to the Rule of Three: if it's not mentioned in no less than three different credible sources, it doesn't exist.

Wikipedia doesn't even count as ONE credible source.

No offense, dude, but how gullible ARE you? Some dude on a fansite says he saw something on Wikipedia? And can't even be bothered to provide a link? Riiiiiiiiight. I'm looking at the Wikipedia entry for Berserk right now and I see nothing like this. Either it was never there to begin with, or some j...

I have a habit of getting these little ideas in my head that could never support full-length AMVs, but which I feel compelled to make anyway. I call them "cliplets," and when I have enough of them banked, I compile them and post them on the YouTube. Anyway, my latest little collection has ...

Apologies for the double-post, but I put together a video review (of sorts) of the Berserk Remastered set. Embedded version for the lazy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTdAFY-saiE However, if you go watch it on the actual YouTube site , you can see it in HD, which is about the only way you're going...

That's the thing, though, it doesn't. The ellipses denote a pause in the flow of the words. The period denotes the end of the sentence. Therefore, if you want to have a pause, then the end of the sentence, you need both. One sentence: I like grammar... don't you? Two sentences: I like grammar.... Do...

IIRC, "an" is only used preceding a word beginning with the letter "h" if the "h" is silent. For example, "AN herbalist," "A historian." But I could be wrong. Or it could be one of those things that varies depending on whether one is speaking America...

I got the Berserk Remastered set as an early birthday present yesterday. Haven't sat down and watched much yet, but I did a comparison test between it and the old version to see how much of a difference I would notice in video quality. (Watched most of Episode 17 that way.) The most noticeable diffe...

Would Berserk really benefit all that much from Blu-Ray, though? As I understand it, the original 16mm masters are such that an HD transfer would only show more film grain, without really adding any detail to the actual animation. It would likely take far more money to restore Berserk's masters to t...

'Course, Toriyama tends to just skip over the whole "romance" aspect of it altogether by setting any and all actual courtships, weddings, etc. during time skips. And then having both members of his quote-unquote "pairings" either be completely oblivious to or else seemingly hate ...

I was rereading Vol. 26 recently, and noticed something I hadn't before-- that when Slan shows up out of the troll intestines, she mentions that the other members of the God Hand "likely melted into their preferred Sephira." According to Wikipedia , "Sephira" is the plural of &qu...

For those who are interested in the Berserk remastered R1 DVDs, there's a thread over at SkullKnight.net that has a LOT more details: http://www.skullknight.net/forum/index.php?topic=9471.msg160480#msg160480 1. A beautiful progressive encode, straight from film masters - Sharper image - Better color...

I honestly think I did a much better job with Gantz Abridged, but a lot of people prefer BAS because Berserk is just a much better series. Sometimes I think the only reason so many people liked Berserk Abridged was because every once in a while, I could just kind of stand to one side and let the awe...

I dunno, it may seem mild by Berserk standards, but he DID whore himself out to an ugly old man, and it obviously disturbed him afterwards. Griffith was never above making intensely personal sacrifices when they proved necessary.

I'd beg to differ. I think that all of the Apostles become "evil" after the sacrifice, and part of what they sacrifice are their positive or "good" emotions. Now, they don't always become completely without positive emotions (as with the slug count), but they do all become evil....

Or maybe he realized how much Griffith risked for Guts' sake, and knew that Guts would be one of those people close enough to Griffith to be a sacrifice. Bingo. The impression I got was that Zodd wasn't giving a "prophecy" in any supernatural sense (there's certainly never been any other ...

The only english dub I can think of that had good/acceptable voice actors for all the main characters, was Full Metal Alchemist. Most english (i.e. US) dubbed anime have these really bold and deep voices for teenagers which doesn't really fit. And I mean both male and female teenagers (which usuall...

Does anyone else find it slightly messed up that Amazon credits the voice acting director of the dub (Michael Sinterniklaas) rather than Naohito Takahashi as the "director"? It always kind of bothers me when I look at the "credits" for an anime on a site like that and see nothing...

Though you have to admit that a hot chick in a male uniform looks cute and/or hot while a guy in a female uniform just looks... confusing and gay. While I don't disagree with the theory, I'm not sure how valid those pictures are as proofs. Those two chicks would look hot in anything, and likewise, ...

There's always the good old fandom swap. You know, he agrees to watch Berserk, and you agree to watch whatever crap he's been bugging you to watch.

Just tell him that, no it's not technically "finished," but the end of the anime wraps things up pretty well, the bits in the manga that come after are more like a "sequel." It's like when you watch one James Bond movie, there are plenty more out there if you still want more, but...

But there's no other point in Berserk as cliffhangery as that. And really it would have been better if they had just left off the first episode, as well as the little thing at the end of the last, then people would be completely going crazy for the manga. I dunno, I think then a lot of people might...
