Obviously someone didn't pay their dues to the local Yakuza.

I wouldn't worry much to those who don't like the direction the show is taking. The moment it starts to tank in the ratings it will turn into SG:Atlantis 2.0 so fast you won't know what hit you. My bet is on this happening by next season. Any takers?
When I was a kid I read a Weird War comic that always stuck with me. In it an old mariner from WWI talked about his battleship’s encounter with an alien battleship (a sea-going ship that came through a dimensional rift) in the Pacific and their duel to the death for the fate of what might be humanity. The human ship lost, but only barely, and the crippled alien ship teleported out, presumably having found humanity a challenge. At the end of the story, it turned out the old mariner was telling this story to a modern ship’s officer, and at the end the modern ship encounters it’s modern counterpart of the alien ship, and the duel begins anew.
Of course I have no hope for the Battleship movie, but I mention the above to show the concept isn’t as stupid as it might sound. #battleship
You want to understand English well? Go volunteer as an English as a Second Language tutor/helper at your local community centre. It will do wonders for your understanding of the language (mostly by watching it mangled) and your grammar as well (by having to constantly think it through to explain it). And learning about other cultures, and making new friends, and learning about your own culture. Oh, and you'll be doing some good for the world in the process. :-)
If you're including Dhampyrs then why isn't Vampire Hunter D on the list? #movies
Power Rangers may have started that way, but it's finishing with arguably it's best season ever- a post-apocalyptic show with good acting, decent writing, cinematography that blew the show's budget and really great fights and stunt sequences.
@AldoraGreel: Do you realize how much real animation costs? Minimum $50,000 for a 20 minute episode. And I'm talking bargain basement animated in Chinese sweatshop type crap, not even the good stuff. Making an animated series is a huge investment which isn't likely to pay off in big enough bucks to support it's costs. This on the other hand is a nice hybrid of radioplays and comics that can be done on the cheap for the iPod generation.
A friend recently pointed out the most obvious thing ever when we discussing the current rage in 3D movies. While I thought it was just a gimmick, he pointed out that the real reason Hollywood is nuts for 3D is much simpler than that- you can't cam them! Pirating a 3D movie is hell, because unless everyone sits on their computers with 3D glasses it will look like a total mess. Sure, I'm positive some geek can come up with a filter program to fix that, but for now it's a pretty good way to fight piracy and keep people coming to the theaters.
