    As I recall, actually, the movie was ORIGINALLY produced in English, and later dubbed into Japanese. I've seen both versions, and they're both pretty inpenetrable. Make no mistake, though. I loved it, and I love Masamune Shirow.

    As for the Major being naked, if you read the comic, she spends a lot more time naked there. (Well, sorta. There are some deleted scenes.)

  3. And for when *that* one gets slashdotted... by paulcammish · · Score: 5, Informative
    ... which was about 30 minutes ago.

    There's a copy here: www.daedalustech.co.uk/gits-sac-trailer.mpeg (I must be insane)

    Take it easy with the server though... I'm not sure how much load it can take...

    I've got it on Gnutella too (same filename - gits-sac-trailer.mpeg), so only use the link when absolutely necessary... please.

    I'll take it down if you guys kill the server too much...

    Dont mind me, anyways... I'm just karma whoring.

  4. Japan: Profile of a Nation? by Kowh · · Score: 3, Informative

    Was the book Japan: Profile of a Nation? It is indeed published by Kodansha and appears to be close to what you described.

    From the description on Amazon, it also appears to be a condensed version of their large encyclopedia: Japan: An Illustrated Encyclopedia, which is an order of magnitude more expensive.

  6. Mirrored DivX 7MB by Ken@WearableTech · · Score: 3, Informative

    I've re-encoded it with DivX and halfed the screen size. It's just under 7 MB and mirrored it here

    There is a ((slightly) more) acceptable compromise featured on the Excel Saga DVDs. ADV calls them "vid-notes", and what they are is pop-up-video-style notes that explain the nuances that got left out. When Excel pulls some gag that makes absolutely NO sense in English I can at least read the note that says "This is a hilarious pun in Japanese" and know what I'm missing.
