Is Manga childish in Japan? No way. If my wife is anything to go by - her favorite channel is Animax! (Nothing but Japanese Anime). Nah, I would say that anime/manga is anything but childish in Japan

One of her (and my sons) favorite shows on Animax is a program called Dragon Ball Z. I don't really watch it myself, but from I've seen it's basically a story of a group of weird guys/gals who go around Japan fighting and generally getting the sh1t kicked out of themselves (only to win at the last minute) each week... :rofl:

Yeah I always associated lots of anime with young adults/ adults just due to the themes which they contain but I have been told its not really all that big in Japan so I thought I would ask some people who are over there.

trigun is teh god!

*edit* was a bit shocked when I saw my sig on the back of trigun 8's cover. but still it's just a line from one of the earlier ep previews. *edit*

Trigun is awesome and on that note is anyone else in SAU like to watch anime/have a favourite series??

my current fav is Noir

It depends on who you ask really.

For example, if you ask a "Luis Vuitton" girl about anime, they get all squirmish and act like it`s the most uncool thing on the planet. Yet just about *anyone* on the peak hour express train will have some kind of manga with them to read... salarymen, teens, convenience store workers... you name it.

On the whole, I think it`s neither childish nor mature, it covers all genres so it`ll appeal to SOMEBODY...

If you're in tokyo and visiting akihabera (which most tourists do - for the electronics) there's a pretty good anime/manga shop there as well (on one of the main streets - it stands out so it is pretty easy to find).

It's at least 5 levels (possibly more, I can't remember) - you'll go wild

Me, I couldn't really care less about it (except trying to stop my students reading manga in class) - but some of it's okay. I finally watched 'spirited away' (mainstream, but worthwhile) the other week - not bad. The rest in that series (same company/maker?) is pretty good too, what I've seen of it.

Lupin III is awesome. Better to get the newer movies like Alcatraz and Castle of Cagliostro. The original series is only good if you can put up with the 70s music and animation (i can't). Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Initial D, FLCL (too short) and Golden Boy (also too short) are probably the best ones i've seen. I've seen heaps and just cant remember them all but if you want something that will really screw with your head then you should watch Serial Experiments Lain: watched the whole series 3 times and still hard to understand it properly.

i havent seen very much recently but that castle of cagliostro was made in the 80's dude, for full length movies i think the last one i saw was the cowboy beebop movie, there are so many you can get that are just a few episodes thats its had to get a full length movie. not that i'm that old but when i started watching manga all you could get were movies, like castle of cagliostro, Akaira, ghost in the shell, ninja scroll and legend of the overfeind (has a japanese name i carnt remember to spell) there were three full length R rated movies for that last one, there are a lot of other ones that i've have at one point on video or dvd.

can someone post up names of some new full length movies you can get in aus as i'd like to get some new ones to watch!!

there are a few recent movies that have come out. probably the two that come to mind immediately are Patlabor WXIII which is good if you've seen either of the first two (although you don't have to as the characters from the earlier movies only make a minor appearance) and Voices Of A Distant Star it only goes for 30 odd mins but it has one of the best stories ever.

then there are a few like Ah! My Goddess, Read Or Die or The first two Patalabor movies (a bit older)

hope that helps :)

yeah i've seen the first two patlabor movies both of those had somewhat interesting story lines as well, i'll look out for that WXIII as i quite enjoyed the first two!

When I went to Japan, I was real keen to get a shitload of Anime DVDs. I was disappointed cos firstly they were so expensive (more expensive than here) and there are no English subbies meaning I wont get jack crap (cos so much anime is so subliminal and bizarre).

I went to that 5 storey anime shop in Akihabara - I almost wet my pants.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
