In not doing the thing that you were doing.

Using the audio of the Grumpy Old Men trailer and overlaying it over some Naruto scenes is a fundamentally flawed idea. There is absolutely no point in doing it. Just... Don't do anything like that. Anime Music Videos are bad enough.

If you insisted on doing such a banal, pointless, horrible task, then here's some advice. You should really try to put some meaning behind whatever clips you use. From what I saw, all you were doing was finding times when Naruto's lips (and the other guy's) could sync to the audio and not paying much attention to what was going on in the scene. You should at least have some scenes that go with the audio in such a way that some semblance of a joke is made.

Also, choose more appropriate characters. I, uh, really don't understand what you were thinking when you decided that the most appropriate anime characters for the audio from Grumpy Old Men were children from Naruto.

Now I'm no expert on the medium, but if I felt some bizarre need to do what you did I probably would have used, say, Spike, Jet, and Faye from Cowboy Bebop. Something a little more apt, I don't know.

But yeah, there was no point to any of it. I don't know what you were thinking.

Excuse me? When did everyone in this club suddenly lose their ability to carry on conversation without turning to dumb sarcastic insults?

The guy asked a question, I answered it. I'm not sure what the problem is here.

Excuse me, but I have been a member of this club for five years.

Oh god that sounds so pathetic.

You answered it in an airheaded and pretentious way.

I'm pretty sure all I said was 'find clips that make jokes with the audio'. In a little more detail, of course.

What. I'm pretty sure what I was saying was anime parodies (of that sort; that sort being anime clips with audio from a different source) shouldn't exist. And you're misinterpreting my meaning when I said the word 'meaning'. Though I should have chosen a better word. 'Reason' would have been better. Or 'jokes'.

And I just thought Cowboy Bebop was more appropriate for the audio to an advert for Grumpy Old Men. As I understand it, Grumpy Old Men is a movie about two male neighbours who feud when a woman moves near them.

Other than storage reasons, {which means more extra feautures and other goodies} and slighty better visuals, There really isn't any key differences between each other, from what I seen. I don't really have any Blu-rays, considering it is generally expensive to obtain and not really worth the investment if you have the DVDs.

That's my best guess.

It would seem that evil entity I was talking about had vanished all my good woids.
It's a good thing I faithlessly record all my internet seriousness on VHS tapes anticipating that evil entity would have influence the stupidity of certain peoples.

Also, see Serial Experiments Lain to fully understand the parody involved.

Your assessment and assertions of your perceived assumptions are utterly asinine at best.
Of what empirical proof have you to verify your claims and condemnations aside from what your own contorted consciousness has concocted?
Verily your interaction within this club is far more problematic than any number of spammers could ever be. In fact your kinds usage of the internet itself is becoming a crisis situation of irrevocable damage.
The term "Serious Business" is often used to denote those who take the internet far too seriously. At first glance such a thing doesn't sound dangerous at all.
But what happens when such a large saturation of seriousness is stored within the endless stream of information such as the wired? Is it not possible that such a collection of stock piled seriousness could become conscious and capable of acting on it's own free will?
At first it would seem the only detriment something such as this could pose is simply an online entity which is capable of manipulating the internet (which alone is devastating enough, given man kinds reliance on the interweb) but imagine if such a being were to eventually gain access to the collective consciousness (and unconsciousness) of humanity?
Things affiliated with seriousness would no doubt be the end result.
Things such as wars, global strife, consistent upheavals within humanity as a whole, poverty and a general pretentious disregard for ones fellow man.
It is exactly things such as this that are occurring now, within our time frame. This is proof enough for me that such a being has already achieved all of the possibilities I have already mentioned.
Now imagine what would happen if such a being were to take physical manifestation? It would be as if a Hellish God were to have suddenly descended upon mankind. And with so many already influenced by this being, I'd imagine virtually all people would be inclined to bow before it. No doubt all those who refused to, who held on to some shred of un-serious sanity would be exterminated.

It's members like myself, Kermit and Mendou who are fighting against such a thing taking place. It's unlikely, but hopefully we'll be able to, if not prevent this creature from fully taking over, at least delay it's domination.

So Mr Big Woids E-Scientist, I suggest you take your seriousness (and that nice star I gave you for your E-Report card) and shove them up your nether regions until you grow up enough to realize the world is too serious to take seriously.

Also, sorry Mr Big Woids, I didn't back up your pipe-smoking reply, I ran out of footage on my previous VHS Tape. But hopefully now you see this force is seriously at work.
You should consider joining our side, after all, you were a target in this event.

Aw man, I liked that reply.

I was all like "hah! now THAT'S pretentious!"

Just watched Summer Wars, pretty good. Loved the animation, the banter in the family, etc, even though some of it felt a bit contrived (a boat? really?) and it was perhaps a tad predictable.

Still pretty good though, 8/10.

At 10/16/10 06:42 PM, Blaze-Heatnix wrote: I'm interested in the Gundam series. Which one should I start with? The movie trilogy? G-Gundam? Gundam Wing?

I would probably start out with G-Gundam, it's a little more down to earth compared to the other Gundams series, and probably a good idea to watch it in subs, considering how the dub is trying to be politically correct at times.

Honestly, Most of the Gundam series, as good as they are, seems to remind me of Star Wars but with mechs. At least with the G series, it's more of a down to earth competition rather than a full out war in space.

haha, you're joking, right? G-Gundam is the complete opposite, it's over the top and ridiculous.

What I meant was it takes place on Earth compared to the other Gundam series which the fights mostly take place in space, I apologize if I didn't explain it eariler.

how do you guys fell about dubs like on sy fy i really don't like them and its really hard to watch have any of you ever herd a good dub the voice? just never fits the character

I'm watching the first episode of Tantei Opera Milky Holmes right now and I couldn't help but notice this.

Yeah, I think I'll take a pass on this, that is the worst nipple shot I have ever seen.

Best not to feed the troll, just let him be.

Can we please not bother Kermit anymore?, This is getting to a point where this is just plain stupid.

Besides all we're doing is tempting him to fire back at all of us, and he's going to do the same thing right back, this isn't the first time this has happen. We all know he's not the true leader of this club, but if we keep it up, Kermit's going to get the last laugh here.

In other words, let's get back to doing what we do best, enjoying anime.

Political mudslinging at its finest.

Just stop it, everyone. This is all just terrible.

It's one thing calling 'serious business' on complaints like this one, but all that's going on in this club is a dumb playground power struggle.

Trying to get a rise out of other people on the internet is just as pathetic as getting sincerely angry about nothing.

Either the sincere members of this club should stop responding to the moronic spam that's going on, or (even better) the moronic spam should stop entirely. This club was never a beacon of sophisticated conversation, but that doesn't mean we should all act like children.

Also, stop all the picture spam. That's really just annoying.

Considering that you've spammed in this club several times at one point or another doesn't excuse you either. Hypocritically white knighting is just as silly as poking fun at people here for not getting a joke.

Just because I've done something in the past doesn't stop me from telling people they shouldn't do it in the present. It's not something I do anymore, because I realised how terrible it is.

And interestingly enough, I don't think anybody here is 'not getting a joke'. 'Not getting a joke' and 'not finding a joke funny' are two distinctly different things.

Whatever, you guys, let's just talk about anime so Poozy doesn't lock this thread on us.
I'm currently watching Yumeiro Pâtissière Professionnelle, Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt and Tantei Opera Milky Holmes in addition to the continuation of Lil' Pri. I can say this is the first time in a while I've had more than two series to follow.

Now, I just can't get this guy out of my mind...
Seriously, his nipples are like little dicks! They become erect and sparkle right in front of the audience!
Now if only he could shit out of them...

Oh it concluded alright, it finished off pretty well from what I recall.

I recently read this article which claims Escaflowne was canceled before all the episodes had the chance to air. That may have been US-only, so you may not know about it as your profile says you're in Canada.

He is a cool guy.

I didn't care much for Escaflowne. The guymalefs were pretty cool, though, and there was some decent action.

I would definitely classify Golgo 13 as a sociopath, if I were a psychiatrist. This guy just doesn't flinch. He's just so chaotic evil.

Still a badass though.
