!!Кіта-а-а-а-а-а-а-а-а-а-а!!
Готовий переклад Сен то Чіхіро но камікакуші, або ж Сен та Чіхіро в полоні у духів (оновлено 01.05.2006)! Нарешті я зробив це ^_^! (Прийшлось пропустити урок японської :lol:). Це один з моїх найулюбленіших фільмів Міядзакі (анімація просто неперевешена), я давно збирався його перекласти. Щодо перекладу: він робився по можливості з японської, плюс звірка з англійськими титрами, де було неясно (вийшло 50%-50%), таймінг взятий з офіційного американського ДВД (ріп від AHQ) [...]
xxxHOLiC OP on Tube April 21, 2006
Opening theme for xxxHOLiC, “19 years old” by Suga Shikao, is on Tube. Very interesting sequence: butterflies — masturbation — sexual fantasy. I’ve always suspected that phobia of butterflies has something to do with masturbation… In some respect it’s similar to fobia of snakes.
By the way, anime’s not bad too, a little worse than the movie (mainly due to its inferior animation quality), but the story is as intricate and entertaining as it has to be.

Cost of anime licensing April 15, 2006
“How Much Does Licensing Anime Cost?” Good question — answer from John (Animenation)…
Question:
I was just reading the “Is America’s Anime Industry Out of Touch with Fans?” article and started to wonder how much does an expensive anime cost compared to an inexpensive one. Could 3 million get me a good anime?
Answer:
Even among professionals working in America’s anime industry, specifics about licensing are closely guarded secrets. Employees of America’s anime distribution companies may be polite, and even friendly with each other, but America’s anime industry is relatively small (compared to the traditional American movie & home video industry), so even small advantages can make a huge impact on an anime distributor’s success. I know what AN Entertainment has spent on its licenses, and I’ve heard reliable second-hand estimates of the licensing cost of some of the anime titles available in America, so I’ll extrapolate from that limited knowledge. Please understand that this is largely speculation based on fact, so my answer is only an estimate that may not accurately reflect every example [...]
Juuousei April 14, 2006
Для любителів дизайну від BONES (нагадаю, вони робили Раксефон :roll:, Ковбой Бібоп кіно, Вовчий дощ, Цільнометалевого алхіміка, Евріка Сім…) — нові серії від них: Juuousei (Планета Короля звірів).
There are two brothers named Tooru and Rai living on the space colony Juno who find their parents dead one day. They’re knocked out by gas and exiled to a planet called Chimera. There, they are chased by a band of men until the leader Zagi takes them in. Zagi fills them in about the planet, including how it has two cycles of 181 days each: day and night, how it is separated into four groups (called Rings) - Blanc, Sun, Night, and Ochre - that correspond with people’s skin colors, and how the only way off the planet is to become the Juuou (King of Beasts). Anyway, Tooru is feeling held back by Rai and almost attacks him, but can’t kill his brother. They’re then surrounded by Ochres because they’ve wandered into that Ring’s territory. Tooru uses his beam knife on several of the guys, which prompts one of the Ochres to open fire with his gun. A that point, the vegetation comes alive and seems to eat Rai up along with several Ochres. Tooru is also about to be swallowed into the ground, but a mysterious girl throws him a line.
В двох словах — складний інопланетний сюжет по манзі, що чимось нагадує той же Вовчий дощ, 11 епізодів, дизайн, як завжди, на найвищому рівні, на трубі поки що немає.
Плюс для тих, хто вже став фанатом Судзуміїї Харухі (яка там друга серія! :roll:) — Ґандам-пародія на закриття :lol:.
