We\u2019re gearing up to do our first Ashcan Press Movie Club or whatever we end up calling it. What is it? We\u2019re going to pick a movie that is influential to us in general or on stuff we\u2019re working on, and then we\u2019re all going to watch it together, as a group. And comment and discuss. Like we\u2019re hanging out. But from our own homes. The best of both worlds!
But before we announce what the movie is we have to pick WHEN the movie is. I live in New York, so trying to figure out when to watch something with people in the UK and California is a bit\u2026 complicated. My instinct is to do it on a weeknight because who wants to spend the weekend at home watching movies (besides me)? But I thought I\u2019d put it all to you for some thoughts, keeping in mind that I\u2019m a tyrant so even if all of you vote for one thing I might just overrule you out of pettiness. But maybe not.

Born and raised in video games and "geek culture," Masoud has been bred off of fantasy worlds his entire life and doesn't see anything wrong with that. He loves RPGs (especially TRPGs), sandbox games, the sci-fi genre, dieselpunk, art deco, and anything that allows him to create. Having graduated from John Jay College with a degree in English and a minor in Creative Writing, Masoud hopes to one day pen the same novels, comics, movies, and video games he enjoys escaping into when the real world gets too boring.
Yes, in a very, very basic sense, you are supporting the many artists and individuals involved in anime by renting your stuff. Netflix copies of anime DVDs are purchased wholesale by the company, usually in surprisingly small numbers (say 10-30 copies for a really niche title and 100-300 copies for something that's clearly more popular). There's no rotating licensing fee or anything paid back to the companies beyond the initial wholesale purchase. Which is all very legal and you are still, in a sense, "supporting" anime, in that you're not obtaining it illegally. And besides, you really shouldn't feel obligated to buy every single thing that looks interesting; the average human wallet can't sustain such a strain. Renting things is just about the most perfect way that still exists to sample various shows and movies and other disposable entertainment what-have-you that is one-hundred-percent legal and sanctioned, at least in regards to physical storage media.
As for a CD of dubbed music? I'm sure Funimation (and their stable of anime dub actors/songstresses) would love to, but I'd wager that an iTunes download would be more likely than anything. That is, of course, if they see any sort of business model that supports the theory that people would actually pay to own dubbed anime theme songs. Which, to be honest, probably doesn't account for that many people.
Long time reader, first time answer...er. Anyways I usually don't respond to the Hey Answerfans section but this weeks question I really had a good specific answer for so I figured I'd give it a shot. So I have a two instances in mind here, starting first with one of my favorite shows, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. While I find the entire series to be great, its specifically the last episode that will make me feel good no matter what. I remember one instance where I was having a bad time at school and was having trouble with my friends and I had no way to feel better; and so, on a whim, I fired up the last episode of Gurren Lagann. I had forgotten the wonders of that episode. I suppose there are possible spoilers up ahead but I'll try and keep them out of it as much as possible. Seeing Nia and Simon fight side by side, watching everyone pour their heart into the battle, and seeing the culmination of spiral energy that is Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, well, that simply did it for me. I literaly cried with tears of joy. The episode is so epic, so incredible, so well done, so manly, so beautiful, that I simply forgot all of my troubles. Despite the melancholy of the final minutes of the episode, I was just comforted by not only by finale of the show but also by the knowledge that great, original shows of such epic quality could still be made. The second show I want to talk about is The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, specifically episode 12. I'm pretty sure a lot of people consider it the best episode of the series; and, while I'm not sure if I even consider it the best episode it definitely is a comfort show for me. What I love about the episode is how it focuses on Kyon's interests and decisions rather than Haruhi's antics or Mikurus clumsiness. You see Kyon behave as a normal high school guy would, by visiting the booth with all of the girls in maid outfits, you also see him follow his friends around, showing little interest in most of the booths, also like a normal high school guy. It's towards the end of the episode, when he decides to go see the music show and falls asleep that I really start feeling better. When Haruhi takes the stage and sings her heart out for everyone and you see Kyon's actual enthusiasm and enjoyment of the performance, I really just lose it. Haruhi isn't acting crazy and controlling, she's genuinely helping out her classmates and enjoying herself with a normal activity. Kyon goes and finds Haruhi and they have a moment of normalcy for the couple. I suppose what these two shows have in common is the connection that the main couples have in each episode. It truly shows the love between the characters in its' most beautiful form. Hopefully I'll find other "comfort episodes" in the future because they can really help out in a fix. I'm glad anime can have the depth to really touch me when I need it; and, assuming I made it, I'm glad I made it onto hey Answerfans!
Let me preface my answer with this: I'm a college student. I have little time to watch anime, as well as little space to store it. My options are very limited, with no money (literally.)I have both parts of Ouran High School Host Club, just because it is such a great series. Being a shoujo fan, it's hard not to fall in love with the characters and get involved in the stories. It's been one of my favorites since 16 or so. I can find something new with every episode, all of my favorite voice actors are in it, and it is just. Plain. Funny.My other go-to anime is Fullmetal Alchemist. With me, I have the disc with my favorite show on it ("The Flame Alchemist, The Bachelor Lieutenant, & The Mystery of Warehouse 13") and the movie. It makes me reminisce staying up at all hours of the night with my little sister to watch Ed and Al's latest pursuits, laughing and crying with every episode.Also, on those lonely Saturday nights when I'm homesick and nobody's around, I head down to the commons to turn on Adult Swim. When I hear the tell-tale Cowboy Bebop opening theme, I flashback to Cartoon Network's glory years, those years just before middle school when I would set my alarm for 3 in the morning just to watch Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Gundam, and Inuyasha. Saturday evenings during high school that when everybody else was off partying, I was with my little brother and sister fangirl/boying over Toonami with the latest episode of IGPX, Teen Titans, Naruto, and Zatch Bell. I remember the night I introduced my family to anime and made them watch Toonami with me, "A Month of Miyazaki" when my entire family crowded around the TV to watch the Miyazaki film of the week, and my brother glued to the TV during "Giant Robot Week."Those really were the days, when I was stuck with dial-up and not much money, which translates to being stuck with whatever was on TV. Since the introduction to manga and high-speed internet, my knowledge and breadth of anime has been expanded, but I still fall back on the same oldies but goodies over and over again.From Maegan Peeples:
I've just started rereading the Kare Kano (His and Her Circumstances) manga now that it's finished and it's just moved to the top of my comfort list. The same goes for the anime version! I'll let it sit on my shelf for months or years at a time just because I think I've watched it to death, but then I pull it out to share with someone new and without fail, I'll get sucked into the heart-melting gooey mushy love fest and I squeal like I'm fifteen again. The characters are so real I feel like I'm visiting old friends. There are no bad guys, no cliches. The writing's excellent, the humor's excellent, and it's just the best damn manga-to-anime adaptation I can think of. If only Gainax had kept it going...! It's sweet, sweet escapism and I adore it every time.
We all had one! My first one was a knockoff made by Emerson, embarrassing! But, I loved it! I could listen to anything, anytime without having to carry my giant boom box, and no one else could hear what I was listening to.
In this interview with Ana Parejo Vadillo, Kahle (Fig. 2) discusses his vision for digital libraries, the economy of digitization, and library deaccessioning. He also talks about scanning and the love for the book that makes it possible.
Universal Access to All Knowledge is the goal. We started with the Web because it was the most ephemeral. In 2000 we started collecting television: we now collect seventy channels from twenty-five countries, twenty-four hours a day. We also started collecting music and digitizing movies. In 2001 we started digitizing books with the Million Book project and in 2005 we started digitizing inside libraries. The reason is to bring our literary heritage to the world in an open way, and not just in closed databases only available to those in privileged institutions. The war over centralization is still going on, but so far the open world has won many of these battles.
Can you talk about the materiality of scanning and the physical labour of those who scan? I have heard you say that those who love books are better at scanning them. Is there an inherent argument about loving and knowing what books are and the actual process of translating them into a new media? 2ff7e9595c
