Quote by NuclearToastPersonally I liked you're under arrest. Although long winded at times, and some episodes didnt really go anywhere, it certainly had good story lines in several places. It was fresh compaired to so many cookie cutter anime types out there. Namly Big robots that only children can pilot, or harem type anime, or magical girl. For something compleetly different, yet still good to watch, its a good steady paced anime with quite a few suspenceful action scenes and wonderful comedy. Like the episode where one of our girl's gets her drivers licence. I couldnt help but smile

Granted it is long, and sometimes boring, it is still worth watching.

d girl u mean is it natsumi ! d very reckless 1 ! but awsome in motor vehicle ! if u r talking about her ! yeah it is true ! by d way thanx 4 posting on my threat !

Quote: very interesting putting all these pieces together, the lighting is very interesting, the shadow on the floor seems unaturally dark, parhaps too dark? but other than that, it looks pretty good. I like your origional art, that is hanging on the walls. One question though, this piece interested me, Who is Ryu ?

Hi! Thanks for the constructive and kind comment. Well maybe you're right for the shadows (was hard indeed, never did it such a one before ). Ryu is a japanese drawer. A beautiful and talented girl who draw sometimes some characters ^^ I asked her the last time to use one of them =)

Quote by NuclearToastAre we talking about exposing new people to "classics" or classics that spawned anime as we know it today.
Battleship Yammoto = classic I cant really get into this, cause of its style, my friend who likes old things loves this series and has begged me to watch it....
Urusei Yatsura = Classic that helped mold what we see today. Want to debate this? Think of the earliest "Harem" anime, that spawned an entire genera...
Think about how many great series followed the example of Urusei Yatsura but just adding more characters than its predicesors.
You have Ranma½, Tenchi, Love Hina, and many many more. Now days there are even more anime that have more harem action... like that maid one where the boy inherits a house of 2000 maids who want to do nothing but "serve him"
Tenchi = Modern Classic imho.... it spawned a more modern look to anime, its much cleaner and artistic compaired to earlier anime of the time.
However if you were to "introduce" anime to people, i think you really have to be careful and not show them something that is too.... deep... wierd, or disturbing
I can't tell you the number of people i have met at an anime con (or that i have converted into being anime fans) and their first dreadful experience with anime was Akira.... they hated it because it was disturbing and wierd, with a giant bloated explodeing baby. Gross!!! There are a few people that LOVE akira the first time they see it... but these people are few and far between.
i say the best way to convert someone to anime, is show them a Good Solid anime, one with likeable characters, No bizzar distorted gross things...
Sofar i have successfully converted over a dozen friends to anime, by showing them
Last Exile,TenchiNadescoCowboy BebopNoirLove HinaPilot candidateBleachNaruto
Hana Yuri Dango (for romantics)Feature films:Ghost in the shellPrincess Mononoke
Spirited AwayThe Cat ReturnsWind Named AmnesiaCastle in the Sky
Anyway, there is something for everthing.... please know the person your exposing to anime, don't just assume that everyone will love akira (I HATE Akira)

Wow! Thanks for such and extensive list.

Yes I did actually mean all time classics dating from "before our time".

I must agree that Akira is not a good movie to start with (just as FLCL confuses first timers), but I watched it after I knew that it was considered a classic and wanted to see what all the hype was about. Could better appreciate it then.

Hey, thank you for your helpful information on digital cameras. It gave me a lot to think about on what I want to purcahse ^_^
