OMG... that does look like... OMG, so this was taken during WW2???

For some reason the hair style reminded me of female Russian soldiers... and I mean that in a good way.

<shuffle shuffle...>

Hehehe, quick... someone do a screen capture! That's ok, had a student in a college class tell me (about that same picture) that the chick in that uniform was pretty hot. When I told him it was Queen Elizabeth in her youth... should have seen his face... :cool:

I also like Pokemon, mainly because they are cute before evolving. Although the tree one with the yellow heads looks like it's always high. What was I saying?

*Eggsecutor. 

It's a palm tree, but the Alolan version looks really, really weird.

Doesn't hurt to pick on @Just Jim... that is unless he decides to create you into a character in Emiko Station and well...

Hmmmm... Razark Kerman???  Yeah... I could make it work... bwaahahahaha

I want to be respectful, because she is royalty... and I did really screw up earlier. :rolleyes:

I think your statement is a bit of an understatement, actually. With all due respect to her majesty, she's quite beautiful.

Is Girls und Panzer worth a watch? As you can probably tell, I love tanks, but not so much when little girls are driving them. It doesn't turn into a borderline cartoons (huh, I guess the Japanese word for pervert is blocked)  or anything, right? If it's nothing loli related then I could probably get into it. 

Well, it's not even loli, more like highschool. Each school is divided into "themes" based on the composition of their tanks, such as Germans, Soviets, British, Americans, etc. But if you can get past that, the tanks are faithfully recreated. Interiors, appearance, terminology, tactics and even muzzle flash is depicted correctly (except for some "unconventional" tactic they pulled off). The main focus is tanks, not some cliches often seen on love or fanservice animes. The world is based on tanks, as even cafes, painting, and culture is based from tanks. Wait until you see Yukari's room...

In fact, it becomes promotional media for World of Tanks in Japan, with the staff even watching it and consulted by anime director for tank reference used in the movie

If you like tanks or armored warfare in general, I highly recommend watching it. The battle is fast-paced and full of nerdy stuff for tank enthusiast

Oh, and BTW, my favorite tank in GuP is IS-2, KV-2 and Carro Veloce CV33

I was raised on Looney tunes, Merrie Melodies, Tom & Jerry, Popeye, Scooby-doo, Flintstones, and such. Sometimes if I was at my cousin's I could watch things like Rocket Robin Hood or Justice League (was that the name?). I never watched the more "modern" cartoons like He-Man, Transformers, or GI Joe. So no, I don't like anime, mainly because I find the animation to be too, um, minimal, with hardly any moving elements (generally a mouth that alternates between open and closed, or a switch to another static facial expression, while the camera zooms in or out, and that's it).

I was the other way around. I grew up on the same cartoons, so I'm assuming we're more or less the same age. But I was a huge sci-fi fan as far back as I can remember, and I loved cartoons like "Battle of the Planets" or "Transformers" because they were so much more sci-fi.... and back then, as far as I was concerned, the wilder the better.

Actually... that hasn't changed much... lol...

I've been trying to remember, but I'm not sure if I ever had an anime crush or not... Sure, Princess was cute... but "Battle of the Planets" came out in 1978... and the dirty little secret is I had learned 3 years earlier I had a thing for older women... super-gorgeous and also super-smart... and trapped on a Moon-base... floating off into the galaxy... yeah... I'll admit it... this is her... Jim's first really big Sci-fi crush... hehehe.

OK, this isn't actually anime... but I believe it's still more or less on-topic... BECAUSE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN!!!!  :D
