I still don't see the point of subs over dubs for an anime flick.
The other thing about it is that in Japanese they tend to speak in a tone that dose not coraspond to there emotions the same way as we westerns do. Just watch the seven samori and you'll see what I mean.
Disney has a LOT of experiance with animation and they will probly redo the lip animations to mach every thing up just right.
In closing if the dub is done right I'll like it better then the subed version.
Thanks a lot I'm going to play it wen I get home as a tribute.
I never got a chance to use Be or Alpha.
Both of them died this year.
I can't think of a good song for Alpha though.
The SSSCA requires every digital device to have copy protection measures in it, referred to as Digital Rights Management. Guess who now holds a patent on a Digital Rights Management Operating System? Microsoft.
You miss the point.
Opensource can not be in compliance by default you see if there is DRM code in the linux kernel I can just remove them and recompile.
Therefore any thing that gives you full control over you computer is not in compliance.
they are deeper than almost everything produced by Hollywood
I've steped into puddels deeper then most of the Hollywood movies granted.
But the Anime I've seen (NinjaScroll, Ghost in the shell, etc) Dose not compaire to the GOOD movies with human actors.
I'm not saying that anime is terible.
It's just that an animated character has two actors playing it.
The animater and the voice actor. In my experiance the animater tends to do a better job then voice actor.
Does anyone really want a dub of this?? I would rather have it properly subtitled, and shown with the original voices & music. Dubs almost never capture the mood of the scene, or the subtleties of the dialogue correctly.
I do. I like subtitles on forgin movies but like Amelie. However anime is not realy up to my standards of a great movie and the Japanies tend to speek in tones that do not coraspond to there emotions like they do in western cultures.
Anime is all about the visual and not so much the dilog anyhow I find it much easier to get the mood by looking at the expresions on there faces then lisning to there voices.
Most companies that hire creative works are *very* heavy-handed about this stuff so they can "maximize their potential upside" and all that. I really don't think it's necessary.
Agreed all this realy dose is make people not whant to work for you. A happy employee (especialy in creative work), is a productive employee
Not just that.
Disney isa driving force behind the MPAA's etempts to turn the pc into content players and the internet into a content streem at the cost of owr freedom.
I know a few people who work there and they make you sign a contract that says every thing you create while you are employed at disney is property of disney. It dosn't matter if you do it at home affter work. So for example you can't work on GPL software on your free time
Most longdistance cariers charge a flatrate for all calls to canada. Most calls to canada go off a satilite and to a regonial grid so it dosn't matter if your calling Vancouver or Toronto. It still costs the longdistance carier the same amount in access charges so they charge you the same rate. It's the regonial grid thats the bigiest cost and they are cheaper in canada.
Simple elegant design...with blue glowing neon. Can you spell "oxy moron"?
Compared to the one painted bright green with skeletons and stuff.
It's quite simpl and elagent.
A neon glow isn't nearly as loud as that god awful paint job.
Besides the glow is a soft light and easy on the eyes.
Swell. Let's see... the raw materials cost more than that, and assuming a sweatshop slave wage rate for 250 hours.. oh, it cost him about ten times as much as your bid. Don't hold your breath waiting for his excited reply to your generous offer.
The materials were bought for a single unit if you buy in bulk you get considral price breaks.
250 Hours laber was most likely in the CAD program, design work only neads to be done once.
I just bought the massive attack DVD (reagon2) and I can only watch it on my laptop.
How hard would it be to get one of thouse to work on a US TV?
I guess I'd have to get a power adapter and a PAL to NTSC addapter as well.
Anything else I missed?

Not nearly as cool as the invisible clothes I sold to the Emperor.

Remind me of a sort of corny Brian Adums song:
"... When you breath I want to be the air for you.
I'll be there for you..."
Anybody know the full lyrics?

If only they didn't own ABC I love politicly incorrect with bill maler.

Void and unenforceable in California.
Good to know I'll still never work for them though.

Anybody but Disney.
For gods sake! If this movie dosn't wind up terible it'll be a miracle.
Disney is the most evil company in the world.

Why do so many companies feel the need to be tied to a coast?
Long distance bills.
It's cheaper to call Canada from California then it is to call New York.
Okay I guess the 'red' part of my username is why.
Not a starwars fan I take it.
Damn commies
Fair enough but if he were to get them mass prodused the cost would drop significantly.

Naw just to lazy to round them off.

That looks mad cheasie.
the neon glow is cool though.
Give me a simlp elagant design over a loud design anyday.

This is the radest case ever.

I'd love to see an animated series based off of the 100 Bullets comic books
I guess it would have the same target audiance as Spawn.
Wow didn't even know there was a slashdot japan.
The tanks dont look too big in the pictures but smaller is alwase better I guess.
