Just came back here after spending some time on anime-planet and anime-forums. Didnt realize I was so freakin old. All nice people there but talk about young. Lots of 14 - 17 year old and 21 year olds calling themselves "Old". So at 35 I must be dead! Heh! I know there is a pretty good spread of ages here so I think I'm more at home - and a "veteran" and all.
Anyhow, I've never posted in an anime thread here before but I'm a huge fan.
Regarding Witch Hunter Robin - I'm watching that now, just finished Disk 2 and its incredible. Hot off the heals of finishing Last Exile, Gasaraki and Rahxephon I think I'm in anime nirvana! What great content.
I'm on temporary hiatus from Robin because I ordered the soundtrack. I need that to arrive so I can commute and work to the tunes of course! Best music in anime yet.

Well, the fellow at the Magnolia said he thought there wasn't a subbed print in North Texas, so I guess I'm stuck for the time being. On the other hand I've got a hot lead on some LDs, so off I go!

Todd: I'm 23 and the anime kiddies make ME feel old. There's some kind of huge abyss like generation gap between my age and the teenagers these days. I am not sure what happened that caused this lol so I totally feel for you there. Other anime forums make me feel uncomfortable but here I'm right at home and everyone is so cool. 
I want to see steamboy but have not yet found a theater that's showing it or anyone that wants to go with me (HATE going to movies by myself, it makes me feel...weird).... oh well

I'll be hitting 31 come the end of march, so I understand what Todd McF is saying. Most forums I frequent are full of younger and "new" fans of anime who have not gone through those lean anime years of the 80's and 90's.
Not only that but with fansubs and digisubs and their distribution through the 'Net, many don't understand what it does to copyrights or are very very defensive when called out about bootlegs and fansubs. Hairtrigger tempers flare, silly flaming/trolling occur, and so on and so forth.
The HTF forums, I am proud to say, is one of my havens from such goings on. Especially as everyone here purchases legitimate anime and discusses most topics rationally and are open to suggestions.
Todd McF: Welcome to the Advance Anime Discussion Thread, and hope to "see" you here often.

I really feel old-I'm 38. I am also currently watching WHR. Good stuff. You're on a good roll-you can't do much better than Last Exile or Rahxephon, IMO. |

Fansubs are simply a short hand for fan subtitled video.
In the old days, someone from Japan would send a VHS of a show, which would be taken by the fansubber, and subtitled them on a vhs deck with such features. Then, they'd distribute it on their mailing list etc etc.
Today it's done a lot differently with people doing it on their pcs (and being called digi-subs) but the idea is the same.

At 33, I'm another old timer  . I agree with Woo about the 'generation gap'. A lot of the kids these days think that they are entitled to things (including anime), and don't seem to understand that there is a price to be paid for everything.
Anyway, a hearty irrasshaimase! to Todd .

You don't really feel old until you attend an anime convention. It is amazing how much younger anime fans are.
Nice, tho, that there were some that recognised my Lupin III costume. I even got my picture taken at Katsucon.
Funny you bring up fansubs, since I was just talking with the guy at my local anime video rental store about it. Apparently, they've had some problems of people renting their stuff and ripping it. I also found out the Pandora's Cube finally got nailed for renting and selling fansubs.
