Geek

Obvious

I'll call the physical system Haruhi and the virtual machines Mikuru, Yuki, and Kyon.

1 Oh, dear. Now that really is geeky!

2 I don't know if you've managed to dodge the spoilers for the show, but yeah, it really is geeky.  Geeky but unavoidable. ;)

Technically it should be Itsuki (or Ryoko) rather than Kyon, but I'm not that much of a geek.  And I'll probably end up with more than three virtual machines anyway.

3 This Yuki?  If so, I wholeheartedly support you.  Something tells me (since I don't enjoy Anime) that I've got it wrong.  But she did do a song called 'Freckles' (Sobasaku) for  the anime show 'Rurouni Kenshin'(?), so hopefully I'm spot on.

You're not even remotely close. Yuki is an example of an "emotionless girl". There's a classic image of her I saw, taken from the show, where she's reading a book while waterskiing.

Must have been from the missing 'fifteenth episode' then... that doesn't show up in the series.  Fanart, or something like it.

Great choice, Pixy!

6 Sorry sir Duck, but he's right. About fifteen minutes into episode 6, during the beach shenanigans, it's right between the jetski and floating in tubes. It's only a 2 second flash.

8 Great googly moogly!  I slouch corrected, Steven, and humbly accept my apologies.  I must have blinked.

9 Oh :( then I'm against the choice.  Anime is just cartoons to me.  And when a cartoon isn't funny, it's not worth watching.

To be fair OH!, I haven't seen any WHA? anime since Speed Racer HUH? appeared on the scene.  Oh wait.  I did see a movie where some parents ate some food and turned into pigs, forcing a daughter to save the day by going to the land of the gods and pull a plug out of a fat guys rear, turning him into a dragon, and kill the bad lady owner of the god's hotel or something.  The end result was that life continued as if none of it happened at all.  *sigh*

Yeah, I just don't get anime.  Call me kooky I guess.

I won't call you kooky, but I will call you rude. Why is it that you feel the need to come to someone's home page and to shit all over their hobby?

The next time you watch Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi I advise you to try it sober. You'll get a lot more out of it. You might even enjoy it.

11 It's okay.  We have to make allowances for Kevin; he's a Perl programmer.

:p

Then you've really not seen any anime at all, have you?

13 Nurse!  Give this patient 26 episodes of Dirty Pair, stat!

14 Though he'll have to watch them in Japanese...

15 There's a nice one-pager about Yuki here. (Remember when you're reading it that Japanese mangas read frames from right to left.)

16 To be honest Steve, I never thought of it that way.  I believed that I was only explaining my lack of depth, not disparaging your choice of entertainment.  Re-reading my comment, it's pretty clear that I was overly aggressive toward the cartoons :)

I apologize, and will refrain from commenting on future anime threads.

ps.  I've seen more recent anime Wonderduck, but speed racer was the last one I've seen a full half-hour of.  The close-ups with the characters covered in beads of sweat made me assume that not much has changed.

The names Pixy chose were from an anime series called Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu which was broadcast in Japan this Spring.

If you don't think anime has changed much, then consider this: one of the more famous scenes from it has Haruhi singing a rock piece and playing the guitar at a school festival while wearing a Playboy Bunny costume. Yuki plays bass while wearing a witch's costume.

I bet you never saw anything like that in "Speed Racer".

18 I haven't programmed since 1979, but I recently saw a page of Perl and it was just numbers and letters and stuff, just like the Fortran I used back in 1979.  So I assume not much has changed.

19 Ah.  So, apology accepted I guess? ;)

Posted by: Kevin at Friday, August 18 2006 05:28 PM (++0ve)

20 Toren - Yep.  Programming languages reached their peak with Algol and have been going backwards ever since.

Posted by: Pixy Misa at Friday, August 18 2006 07:00 PM (vP+3j)

21 Ah, I can still remember the glory days, in 1983, when Algol invented the internet.  Good times.

Posted by: Kevin at Friday, August 18 2006 08:06 PM (++0ve)

22 Algol, Iceball, Snoball, Madcap...good times, good times....
