Spoiler: Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (click to show/hide)

Oh, so there's a virus?  That explains roughly 2% of the weird things that have happened.  It does explain why the cast use brutal murder as a solution to their problems about as much as the Yugioh cast use card games, I guess.

Ugh, wow i messed that up good, i'm not even sure how i made that post, must be too tired and not functioning properly this early in the morning.

What i meant to say was that Pixar spent a good 15 years working purely on technology and SFX in other movies, building up that experience and tech base, so that when they finally branched out on their own into Toy Story (which was indeed their first feature film) they already had the technology in place and that, combined with an understanding that voice acting requires acting and a partnership with Disney (who, face it, were\are the masters of animated features) meant they got off to a good start.

Dreamworks, on the other hand, seems to have missed out on that acting part, most probably because they didn't have that 15 year tech development period, which meant they focused on developing their tech, and the acting suffered as a result.

Fortunately, Dreamworks seem to have caught up with the whole acting thing, with Kung-Fu Panda, How to Train Your Dragon and, of course, Shrek, although ironically it took them a few years to work out that the reason Shrek was so good is because it had good actors, since Shark Tale was released right afterwards and, frankly, sucked.

How far are you?



And in the Japanese Yugioh the card game is actually only a small part of it.

My friend finally sat me down and make me watch more of Umineko no Naku Koro ni.
This show is so Narmy it's awesome.

 a horde of goats wearing suits and wielding magic laser swords... you know, just watch.

And that's just the beginning.

Spoiler: HNNKN (click to show/hide)

Just finished ep 25 of the first series.  So that leaves one more before the second series, which is meant to give some answers.  Maybe?

I suppose the repetition thing makes sense, which would be why Shion (I tried to keep track, and I think it was still Shion at that point) promised not to fuck everything up again on the next time around as she died.  Although quite why or how she knew this is another matter.

There's still the Vague Hivemind Thing, body switching demon, doppelganger that seems to show up occasionally, forced suicides, dismemberment, footsteps, wishkills and a load of other things yet to work out, but at least it feels like some progress has been made.

As for UNNKN, I already sortof know about Beatrice's power thanks to a mafia role I had a while ago.  Frickin' owned.

The best part about Umineko, for me, was Ronove. Voiced by Sugita Tomokazu (Kyon!), seeing him pull off a butler-role was so deliciously narmful, it was probably the only reason I finished the show.
Oh right, and Battler is Ono Daisuke (Koizumi/hundreds of other roles)

Edit: Ono Daisuke is really just narm exemplified. (~2:40 onward)

Oh man, that guy is so awesome.

I also like Genji (Who I refer to as Genie).

That knife throw of his was rather amazing. A snapshot made while turning that pins Kanon's hand in a second? Badass.

Best butlers ever.

Everything gets explained in the second season.
Unfortunately it is not scary, at all.

Her eyes are weird. I can't get over those stupid flowers.

I agree totally. And besides, I'm not a loli fan. Even though she's weird, I like Yoko better.

So, ACen is comming up, and I just realized that my friends are going this year, so there's a fair likelyhood that I'll tag along too. If I do, I have questions for yous guys:

1) I need costume ideas.. I was briefly pondering Rincewind from Discworld, Pickle Inspector or John Egbert from MSPaint Adventures, a Fisherdorf, or possibly Protoman. On a scale of 1 to I-Dont-Get-It, where would those fall? Also, other ideas?

2) Any of you going to ACen, such that I might run into one of you mugs if I go? It'd be kinda cool.
