I would like to propose a live action night to take place some time in Januarry (Eg before uni starts).

The playlist requirements would be simple. All content must be either Japanese or about Anime fandom. Ideally the Live action shows should be based on anime or manga, if not then they should be origional (Compared to western films) and unreleased in Australia.

I propose the following to make up part of the playlist, which I can bring.

Movie: Hinokino (2005). Director: Takahiko Akiyama. Cast: Masatoshi Nakamura, Kanata Hongo, Mikako Tabe, Riho Makise.

Synopsis: Satoru, a heartbroken boy who has withdrawn into his room for a year, uses a remote-controlled robot called "hinokio" to take his first cautious, fearful step into the outside world again. He goes to school and finds fellowship. Then through an encounter with a girl called Jun, he reconnects with humanity and feels once again the sensation of warm human touch (Eg gantz second season*). But Jun deeply desires to meet directly with the real Satoru, instead of meeting him through the robot. Satoru, who also wants to experience the world directly activates the robots sensation mode, exposing himself to mortal threat. Jun risks all in an attempt to rescue him.

*Only kidding.

TV series

Gokusen- 1st episode. This is shitloads better than the anime version.
Your under arrest- 1st and 2nd episode.

Only the Japanese could come up with a plot like that.

This sounds like a great idea... A little variety should be good.

Coming soon from Steven Spielberg.... ?

Fate stay night live action...

There's a couple of Live Actions I've been meaning to see... I won't say too much at the moment... I want to check them out first.

Madman wrote:Fate stay night live action...

DENIED!

Battle Royale?

Gokusen and Train Man come to mind.

It is a good thing Madman hasn't been able to find Steel Angel Kurumi Pure yet.

I think you should be more worried about Seven of Four getting hold of it. He has a real way with Kurumi. Kurumi was his first.

And as for live action, yeah sounds alright. Variety is good. I'll be amazed if you play live action Sailor Moon, I loled so hard at that.

The parody sub is good for a laugh. The rest just hurt....

Wonder how long it'll be before Haruhi Suzumiya live action comes and they have to emulate Mikuru Beam.

They'll first have to find a young Japanese actress who has the acting range to be as convincingly grumpy/overbearing/selfish as Haruhi is.

And an actress willing to be her soft, buxom moe plaything.

I will never give up! no surrender!

I didn't say you wouldn't. I just said your efforts have been, thankfully, fruitless.

Mappy wrote:I didn't say you wouldn't. I just said your efforts have been, thankfully, fruitless.

I recommend asking Seven of Four.

Dammit, don't give him suggestions!

This kurumi thing; is it a *ahem* or is it just really, really bad in terms of acting/plot ect?

I have no intentions of aiding madman or anyone else aquire it, fyi. Call it (morbid?) curiosity.

I vote yey, although like most things you guys talk about, i have no idea what it is

Don't worry , just saying "yes" and nodding gets people through most things in sad "real-life" ...

Your excused .

I won't aid MM either, however as the show is only PG rated, it is probably the bad acting/plot that we are talking about.

The only thing that I will give as a hint is the cover for the first Japanese DVD of this show:



That has got to be one of the worst cosplayers I have ever seen (and she got paid for it).

That's actually not as bad as I was expecting. I'd still hit it.

Why are people so afraid to change their hair colour for cosplays?

ummm..why are there so many people so willing not to help me?

Dhumahn wrote:That has got to be one of the worst cosplayers I have ever seen (and she got paid for it).

Considering it was an "official" production by M.O.E., as opposed to merely cosplaying. You knew it was going to be bad....

Madman wrote:ummm..why are there so many people so willing not to help me?

It's a mystery to me.

I have the feeling the extremely excessive use of 'desu' has something to do with it. Did Kurumi ever manage a sentence without saying 'desu'?

I thought Bazza was the one who always says desu, not Madman?

If I knew where to get the show I'd help him.

Atory wrote:I thought Bazza was the one who always says desu, not Madman?

Like I said, if you want anything Steel Angel Kurumi-realted, just ask Seven of Four. He tracked down every single DVD release of every series and version when he was but a young, underage lad.

Atory wrote:I thought Bazza was the one who always says desu, not Madman?

That's an affirmative on the ~desu. But not ~desu as you know it ~desu.

Well, funnily enough nobody ever asked Seven of Four for his age. Until he finally got out of high school and he had to spend 6 months waiting to hit 18 so he could get into another bar besides the UniBar.

Nobody needed to ask him his age. His personality gave it away.

5 ... ?

Maybe not that low. But sullen emoness tends to flash "STILL IN THEIR TEENS" like a neon sign above said person's head.

Well, he is 18 as of April this year. However, whether he acts it is something that changes very quickly from minute to minute.

Refer to above statement. Making teens moody and depressed is like shooting fish in a barrel.

Then what about me? I'm still in my teens.

You're too cheerful for your own good health.

Well, there's something to be said after what happened to the 'Serenity now' person.

Isn't my problem that you've failed to age quickly enough. Next time get born earlier.

Ooh buuurn.

In fact it's the opposite... I had my mürrisch stage before I was a teenager.

So the term "cheer up mürrisch kid" applied to you literally. And you did.

So where are the mürrisch slash scars then?

Seen my back? Well those weren't self inflicted... and I'll leave that at that.
