Come on rizzix, think! ----------------------------------- Mazer Sun May 29, 2005 10:41 pm ----------------------------------- I'm sure he thought of that and has a plan to counteract the pain thing. We'll just have to wait and see! ----------------------------------- Delos Mon May 30, 2005 10:19 am ----------------------------------- Well...seeing that Tony is a figure quite apt to regions of high temperature, one might go so far as to say that burning the doll would in fact be making him feel good - rather than causing undue pain. ----------------------------------- Aoi Mon May 30, 2005 2:29 pm ----------------------------------- Well...seeing that Tony is a figure quite apt to regions of high temperature, one might go so far as to say that burning the doll would in fact be making him feel good - rather than causing undue pain. then how bout we dip him in nitrate? ----------------------------------- brenn Mon May 30, 2005 3:00 pm ----------------------------------- Psh, Tony is a Siberian Kitty on Siberian crack. ----------------------------------- Delos Mon May 30, 2005 5:54 pm ----------------------------------- Well...seeing that Tony is a figure quite apt to regions of high temperature, one might go so far as to say that burning the doll would in fact be making him feel good - rather than causing undue pain. then how bout we dip him in nitrate? And stir him with chopsticks! This sounds fun. :lol: ----------------------------------- Mazer Mon May 30, 2005 6:49 pm ----------------------------------- Well...seeing that Tony is a figure quite apt to regions of high temperature, one might go so far as to say that burning the doll would in fact be making him feel good - rather than causing undue pain. So... so... it's like casting black magics on the undead? Wow! Final Fantasy, is there anything you can't do?cough ----------------------------------- Bacchus Mon May 30, 2005 9:01 pm ----------------------------------- Dunno, I haven't heard it play the Popcorn song... ----------------------------------- Delos Mon May 30, 2005 9:17 pm ----------------------------------- I would imagine that somewhere, in the many vaste worlds there exists a musical instrument you might be able to play...wasn't there a piano in FF7? I recall it being in Tifa's room, but I don't recall if one could play it or not. ----------------------------------- Mazer Mon May 30, 2005 9:25 pm ----------------------------------- I would imagine that somewhere, in the many vaste worlds there exists a musical instrument you might be able to play...wasn't there a piano in FF7? I recall it being in Tifa's room, but I don't recall if one could play it or not. In FF5, when you're at the bar where you meet the pirate that ends up being the first girl's sister, there's a piano you can "play." That is, you can "play" it just as you can "interact" with NPCs. It only played one, SNES powered tune. Who knows, there could've been more. But I very much doubt you ever had the freedom in one of the games to play an instrument in the same way as you could in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask (that I know of). Also, unless you go there in a later point of the game, wasn't the part with Tifa's room just a flashback? ----------------------------------- Aoi Tue May 31, 2005 12:39 pm ----------------------------------- I would imagine that somewhere, in the many vaste worlds there exists a musical instrument you might be able to play...wasn't there a piano in FF7?

Has anyone actually went over the program outline? Anything standing out? yaoi seemed to have been the dominating theme, not even counting shows as Gravitation. I've heard that some booth sold out of certain sizes of "got yaoi?" t-shirts and I've seen another table selling an alternative design. to restate the question -- since when do anime conventions have such things as "panel: gay sex 101 -- 18+" listed under their events? ----------------------------------- Aoi Wed Jun 01, 2005 9:13 pm ----------------------------------- back to the original topic of Anime North.. would someone mind letting me know when anime has turned gay?

I don't know but that kinda distrubed me also I mean ya I've watched some yoai but it's also cuz the main character does look like a girl and I just continue to think that it's a she and not a he but these other girls O_O they scare me ----------------------------------- brenn Wed Jun 01, 2005 10:54 pm ----------------------------------- back to the original topic of Anime North.. would someone mind letting me know when anime has turned gay?

Supply and Demand. Besides, Sherman just probably didn't make enough of those T-shirts. ----------------------------------- Mazer Thu Jun 02, 2005 7:30 am ----------------------------------- I'd post a PA comic, but I think it'd be more efficient to say: wtf? F-f-f-freakshow... ----------------------------------- Delos Thu Jun 02, 2005 9:36 pm ----------------------------------- Yaoi manga has been on the rise for the past few months, and most predominantly in the US. Yaoi manga (and some yuri too I believe) are being licensed left, right and centre. There's been at least 2 yaoi-themed animé to reach their airs of Japan in the last few seasons. Thus far, only one "Loveless" has peaked the ears of the fansub community to any extent. Why you ask? Could be any number of reasons really. But I wouldn't be half surprised if somewhere in the far reaches of this apparent movement, we found O-Kishimoto-sensei waving his little Konoha flag. You have to admit, the yaoi themes have been prevelant throughout Naruto, albeit in a harmless, timid, and artful form (expect the meeting of Orochimaru and Kimimaro...that was just wrong :lol:). Ok, I'm done. ----------------------------------- Aoi Sat Jun 04, 2005 2:56 pm ----------------------------------- I know but still it kinda pisses me off when some fan girls come up and ask my guy friends to do something yoai I mean wtf! ----------------------------------- Delos Sat Jun 04, 2005 9:51 pm ----------------------------------- Don't random guys walk up to girls and ask them to 'do something yuri'? Equal opportunity, equal ignorance. Yes, people can be annoying. ----------------------------------- brenn Sun Jun 05, 2005 5:04 pm ----------------------------------- Don't random guys walk up to girls and ask them to 'do something yuri'?

Either way, isn't it still considered harassment? :roll: ----------------------------------- Delos Sun Jun 05, 2005 6:28 pm ----------------------------------- Some would consider some of those Faye cosplays as visual harrassment :lol:. But yes, it is. ----------------------------------- rizzix Sun Jun 05, 2005 9:39 pm ----------------------------------- this is why FMA was and is the Greatest Show yet. (yea and bleach is not too bad as well) ----------------------------------- Mazer Mon Jun 06, 2005 6:58 am ----------------------------------- Yes. Everyone else = pwned. Though there are other really good shows... ----------------------------------- Paul Mon Jun 06, 2005 2:29 pm ----------------------------------- bleach is good, I do like FMA better... so far. But I swear I saw this yaoi thing coming, at every turn there were fangirls drawing male characters to be more female looking (me asking "why the hell would you do that?") and fanfics involving this stuff (especially naruto fangirls), I swear on several occassions I overhear the "weird girls table" talking about this shit at lunch. Do all girls find this appealing? I find it as coutsos said to be some kind of freakshow, but the fact stands that most of the girls i've talked to on this topic have cleverly talked around a straight answer (no pun intended :P). ----------------------------------- Delos Mon Jun 06, 2005 2:56 pm ----------------------------------- Am I the only one who thought Envy was a girl? ----------------------------------- Paul Mon Jun 06, 2005 3:01 pm ----------------------------------- I dunno, the voice of Envy is pretty distinguishing as a boy's voice, as far as animé goes. But that dude in hikaru no go or w/e... now THAT is confusing. ----------------------------------- Mazer Mon Jun 06, 2005 6:31 pm ----------------------------------- Envy was just weird. The voice was pretty un-feminine (I wouldn't really say masculine), but with the style of dress it was a little harder to tell. ----------------------------------- Bacchus Mon Jun 06, 2005 6:43 pm ----------------------------------- Ok, I have nothing to say about this topic, but this is the Off Topic section so... Coutsos, I just read you Signature. You Rock. I Love those books and I can't wait for the movie, Costumes by the same people who did Lord of the Rings, it's going to be great. I especially like how the bit of the Rings and the Tree are carried over into the last book. ----------------------------------- Mazer Mon Jun 06, 2005 6:57 pm ----------------------------------- Heh, I just saw the trailer last week. That was the one cool thing for me that day... so of course I just had to go back and read the books. Er, I mean... so Touya x Yuki... it was pretty weird. But at least Syaoran was straight. Oh that crazy anime! ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Mon Jun 06, 2005 7:07 pm ----------------------------------- Are "those books" any worth reading? I might be looking for something to read sometime soon. ----------------------------------- Mazer Mon Jun 06, 2005 9:09 pm ----------------------------------- Well, I've only read the first and about half of the second, but I do plan to eventually buy them all (as a nice box set if possible). They were intended for children, I think, (as I remember, my sister read them all when she was younger, and my first memories of the story was an animated cartoon ("It's--it's--Aslan! *dies*")) but they capture magic and fantasy nicely. Something I'm always looking for if you pay attention to my bitchings. Ontopic: Sakura x Tomoyo was a bit worrying as well. ----------------------------------- brenn Mon Jun 06, 2005 11:36 pm ----------------------------------- Well, I've only read the first and about half of the second, but I do plan to eventually buy them all (as a nice box set if possible).

Kakashi x Iruka ...[sigh]...no I didn't do it first. I'm just a little clairvoyant, s'all. ----------------------------------- Mazer Tue Jun 07, 2005 3:39 pm ----------------------------------- Oh, hey, let's not drag him down to old one-eye's level. I still respect him. So let's pretend this is the Matrix: Reloaded and say this never happened. Tsk. Sick anime kids. ----------------------------------- Delos Tue Jun 07, 2005 6:55 pm ----------------------------------- Which 'him' are you refering to? The one who still have two normal eyes? If so, what's wrong with the one with one, umm...suspicious eye?
