I've actually seen the first Hellsing OAV, it pretty much paralels the first few episodes of the series, but the animation is more like the manga and Seras' bust seems larger than before.

He looks kind of like Vincent form Cowboy Beebop: Knocking on Heavens Door.

The most widely accepted answer is Evangelion. It's the most emotional anime I have ever seen. I, of course, have not seen every anime ever made, and so could not say for sure. I would guess that some bishonen fangirls would probably think that their own favorate bishonen anime is the most emotional...

Praise the lord my prayers have been answered!

If Amazon once again delays the shipment of the copy of Dominion Conflict One that I ordered back in November, I'll have to cancel that and order this instead.

Oblivion

Have any of you gotten a chance to play Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (the sequal to Morrowind). I was able to play it for a little while at the Game stop at the mall and it blew me away. For starters, your character appearance is much more customizable, you make the face rather than choose one. You do...

Hmm, smells like some kind of conspiricy bot to me. Somehow I don't think that stalite transmissions can affect human behavior in the way this person has described. If they affected neuron function, they would have a more global effect on behavioral and congitive processes. Blinking, hardness of mov...

Yes, I finally have an ally in my Mario bashing! It should be noted that Mario unclogs toilets by climbing down the pipes and butt smashing whatever "monsters" are down there. He gets paid in whatever coins he finds in the pea trap. Have any of you ever seen the shirt that has a picture of...

One thing that bugs me about innocnece is that it looks to much like Blood: The Last Vampire. With the exception of the parade scene (the only part of the movie that I found particularly visually pleasing), I though the colors were too washed out. I also hated how the gynoids looked. I thought they ...

In SAC: 2nd GIG there are some new recruits. I don't know when they first show up, but I noticed that they were there in Volume 4 of the SAC: 2nd GIG DVD.

Like most of you, I would have to go with the manga Motoko. I'm a big fan of Shiro's second period work, so I especially like the MMI Motoko. The muscular look of the original manga Motoko has its charm though.

Assertions mean nothing without examples. What parts of the original movie were "ugly."

Also, I thought that the CG in Innocence stood out like a sore thumb at some points. An example would be the angel sculpture in the entry way of the hacker's home.

I thought the Gits mythos stated that a full cyborg has his or her original brain almost completely or completely replaced by prosthetics as well. If this is possible, than why wouldn't having a new copies of your brain made, along with every other part of your body, grant virtual immortality, maki...

When I said that, "you just need to give a stealth plane a black paint job." I ment that you should use a black stealth coating, as opposed to a blue one (which is sometimes used for day time missions).
