Yeah it isn't going to. New rule: Only every third movie can be of Japanese origin.

[Unless]

No, raw is not an option.

Have you considered Smack Down?

[Bamyasi]

Yeah it isn't going to. New rule: Only every third movie can be of Japanese origin.

Sry, but if I don't set that rule then it's gonna become a weekly anime night like slack said. Gotta keep you weebs in line.

And yes, I suppose so, but please try to keep to movies in English.

[Bamyasi]

Oh yeah I was just joking around. That rule is more than reasonable.

Regarding that last bit, subtitles are okay right? In case I ever want to suggest something.

[rtil]

I think jin-roh or redline-u would be good candidates

I'd have to have a version with hard-coded subs, cause the site I use doesn't support subs.

And no, raw is not an option.

you can bake subs into vids easily with programs like handbrake

As a movie of asian origin but not japanese i suggest "the raid redemption". really fun martial arts movie.

Big Trouble in Little Chinatown

The sequel is also good but probably one of the most violent movies I've ever seen and I've seen my share of video nasties.

[Binary_2]

if you can magically change the film being shown to the starship troopers trilogy i might be able to make it.

So many people jumping on anime movies yuck

[SrsSam77]

if we can do oriental -jap can we watch Ip Man? wing chun is some cool ass stuff

[d-floe]

The anime ill ever watch here is shaolin soccer.  Now thats a fucking kickass movie

[rtil]

anime

shaolin soccer

??? shaolin soccer isn't anime

but if you like shaolin soccer you'll like kung fu hustle. same director

[Bamyasi]

Does anyone here even know what anime means?

Bin called Starship Troopers anime.

It's like a meme or something.

[rtil]

i guess it kind of is when you hear people say things like 'king of the hill is my favorite anime', although in some sense it's not wrong to call king of the hill anime as a japanese person would agree with you since it's a blanket term for animation. but as far as the western world is concerned there is anime, anime-influenced and animation, and i think that is the best way to look at it because of how influential the japanese animation industry is in the world.

[Dust]

Whenever someone knocks on my interest in anime (or my "anime" drawing style) I just want to ask them "why do you hate cartoons?"

[rtil]

i think a better response would be to ask them what's wrong with animation as a medium of entertainment. surely there's at least one animated film everyone likes..  usually a pixar film or some disney film from their childhood. they'll probably respond with 'but anime is different because...' which is pointless and trivial but could be easily debated if you wanted to waste your time arguing with them. there's just a lack of respect for animation in general in the world, and most people who are biased against japanese animation don't understand how important it is to the very young history of animation and where we would - or rather wouldn't - be today without it.

[crackers]

it's for babies and it's fucking gay duhhh

[Bamyasi]

I'd extend the same statement to Japanese vidya personally.
