Cowboy Bebop Film's American Premiere Announced
From the Big Apple Anime Site "The Big Apple Anime Fest 2002 (BAAF 2002) is proud to announce that the festival will premiere the theatrical English dub version of "Cowboy Bebop: The Movie" on August 30th, 8:00pm at Loews State Theater (Virgin Megastore) in New York City's Times Square. At the premiere, Cowboy Bebop director, Shinichiro Watanabe, score composer, Yoko Kanno and character designer Toshihiro Kawamoto will be on hand to meet their legions of fans." That's a show worth seeing.
....be forced to read about Anime? CmdrTaco, cant you just visit AnimeFu?
oh, fp!
For teh CLiT
Msg this fuck on AIM. He likes tentacle rape pr0n.
It wasn't too bad. I've attempted to watch anime before and was always disapointed. but Bebop seemed ok. But in one episode I watched the dude died (or at least I think... I was kinda stoned). kinda a bummer man.
First we get a paid advert, then we get the "News" that some lazy fucking students are getting a new toy (Gig E. Big whoop). Now we get to hear about some peice of shit Anime fucking film that no one cares about.
I'm ready for a nap...
Tell you what, does anyone know where I can get some good, large sized, free-to-redistribute backdrop images (Tiled and otherwise?) Apart from a few generic ones on kdelook.org, and all those dark, crappy things on Blowies "Propaganda" site, there isn't much around.
Sorry, Taco, but anime is overrated. Sure, the animation is (sometimes) done very well, but the story lines are usually pretty cheesy.

Slashdot is using censorship! It is trying to eridicate free and open discussion like we know slashdot to be, it has the following RESTRICTIONS in place to Censor you
They claim they don't, but they do, wonder why their are so many trolls, crapflooders and lamers on slashdot, because they are fighting for their rights! Slashdot is trying to silence the trolls. Remove the filters, the trolls get bored, and slashdot will be troll free!
- Lameness filters (It blocks perl code!)
- Unnessary posting delays. Hasnt taco learned to touch type? A lot of posts are typed in less than 20 seconds and it is a ANNOYING DELAY! 2 minute ban? Come on, so some are faster then others, big deal, some people have more to say than others.
- Broken moderation system, The whole point is to sort the gems from the crap, yet a lot of posts designed to make a LIVELY DISCUSSION are MODERATED as flamebait! Come on, not everyone likes X, but just because some one bashes it dosent mean its Flamebait. Flame bait is more useful for DIRECT INSULTS and not legitmate discussions.
The "troll" moderation reason is fragmented and broken, why? Because they are trying to use an obsolete usenet term on a realtime discussion, "trolls" can cover a huge blanket of ideas.- Crapfloods, a meaningless flood of random letters or text, which the lameness filter does a crappy job at trying to stop, besides trolls have written tools using the opensource slashcode to generate crapfloods which bypass the filter.
- Links to offensive websites, the most common one is known as http://www.goatse.cx, a awful site which shows a bleeding anus being stretched on the front page. Trolls sneak these links in by posting messages that look legitimate, but infact are sneaky redirects to the site. Common examples include rd.yahoo.com, www.linux-kernel.tk, goatsex.cjb.net, and googles "Im feeling lucky".
- Trying to break slashdot, this is actually a good thing, as it helps test slashdot for bugs. Famous examples include the goatse.cx javascript pop-up, the pagewidening post and the browser crashing post!
Subnet banning, this bans a user unless they email jamie macarthy with their mp5ed ipids. This is unfair, and banning a subnet BLOCKS A WHOLE ISP SOMETIMES, and not that individual user! This can cause chaos! But real trolls use annoymous proxys to get around this so THIS JUST BANS LEGITMATE USERS! Also, they are trying to censor some anoymous proxies, mainly from countrys like africa, so this yet more DISCRIMINATION!Pink page of Death, This censors people who use legitmate proxys or firewalls.
The Bitchslap! An unethical punishment which is applied to moderators who fight censorship against this site! In addition the Editors use their un-limited mod points to create a communist style censored discussion on slashdot!
But, the issue that concerens us the most, is the COMMENT QUOTA. A discrimatory system that stiffles discussion, cripples the community and will ultimateley destroy slashdot unless it is removed! Annoymous cowards are allowed only 10 posts a day! This is unethical! Users with negative karma only get two! That is DISCRIMINATION! How would you like to only be able to speak once a day, just because of the color of your skin. That would be racism, and slashdot is discrimitating on people just because of a negative number in a database! BOYCOTT SLASHDOT! LET THEM DIE!
We wan't these stupid useless restrictions REMOVED! This comment will be posted again and again until it does!
Inportant imformation for users
Boycott slashdot, they are pissing over their community, they are becoming like the RIAA and MICROSOFT! Do NOT TOLERATE THIS SHIT! Here are some real news for nerds sites. We don't need slashdot, slashdot deserves to die!

Yea but I doubt this movie is even as good as TMNT 1. TMNT were a way better anime series than Cowboy Bebop. The TMNT1 movie also was excellent.
No one cares about Anime.
Why is this even discussed?
It is neither "News" nor "Stuff That Matters."
HEY CmdrTostada!!!
I can keep up with cartoons through any number of sites. I just come here to see your ego get stroked by pimply faced, smelly lunix fucks. "Oh thank you CapnNacho, now I know the truth about Cowboy Beebop!". What kind of solace is there in your precious anime. The other day when my A+ certificate showed up in the mail, the postman had folded it in half despite the "DO NOT BEND" sticker on the front. What should I do? I know, "Spike, Jed, Fay, Ed help me! My mail carrier is a subversive lunix fag that doesn't approve of my non-GNU certification.". Oh, wait, IT'S JUST A FUCKING CARTOON !!!
News for lunix retards, stuff that's inserted into Jon Katz's ass
Two thousand sweaty overweight Comic Book Guy clones in identical fanboy t-shirts trying to out-pedant each other with their authentic Japanese pronounciation?
Fair enough though, the slap fights and hissy fits to ask the most sycophantic and obscure question from the floor might be worth watching. ;-)
