    For Anime Fans-Your ideas about an "Anime Tarot"

    Ooo...Five Star Stories is on my Netflix queue, this makes me want to see it. I wish there was a dubbed version..

    For Anime Fans-Your ideas about an "Anime Tarot"

    I'm only really familiar with .hack//SIGN, though I plan to get Roots from Netflix soon. I would say Subaru would make a good Empress, and I agree with Helba as The High Priestess. Its hard to say about Tsukasa, I could maybe see Mimiru as Strength. With Krym's personality, he'd probably make a...

    Dexter's alignment (possible spoilers- discussing seasons 1&2)

    In D&D terms yea, probably. And often in real life. However in real life I think their are exceptions depending upon particular circumtances. And D&D should reflect real life as much as possible...the alignment system isnt done very well. Actions can be evil to a point, but intent and...

    Dexter's alignment (possible spoilers- discussing seasons 1&2)

    I disagree. D&D is pretty much the only thing I've ever seen use this definition of a "Good person." In real life, by the definitions used by most people, most people are good people. Because as I said, being basically a good person doesnt have to include being a crusader or spending most of...

    Dexter's alignment (possible spoilers- discussing seasons 1&2)

    I've not seen the show, but I've heard of it. Theres still some things under discussion here I'd like to comment on though. You hear a lot of talk, especially regarding movie/television characters, about "pyschopaths", "sociopaths" and people supposedly having no moral compass, no emotions...

    Cloverfield

    Ohh yes. I've had those kinds of dreams frequently all my life though, even from before I could read anything.

    That does sound apropriate. Its just always weird having a person as the tower, thats why I did what I did. Yea I'm not a real big DBZ fan, and I cant really think of a fitting card...I prefer the Goku from Saiyuki personally.

    Cloverfield

    I enjoyed it enormously. I dont think having "stock characters" is much of an issue...they are "stock" for a reason, plus that isnt what the movie is about. A part of me is annoyed by not knowing more details, but I apreciate the fact that they did it. I think we will probably see more movies...

    Yea your probably right about Judgement. The one I have is similar...the Moby Dick is a giant whale-shaped android set to destroy a planet at a predetermined time. I had considered using Kenshin for Temperance, but I really wanted a female figure. Jubei Kakei from Getbackers would be a good...

    Despite what I said above, I agree they would be another excellent version of the Lovers, definitely. As for the rest of the conversation so far, I'm not familiar with Gundam characters at all so I can't contribute too much. But here are some other ideas.. Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates...

    For Anime Fans-Your ideas about an "Anime Tarot"

    I've only seen one episode of that series, so I can't really say. However, Lain as The World is pretty much the first anime/tarot atribution that came to me, and quite a nice fit. Yea, I'd say Aura would almost certainly be my second choice as The World. Her and Lain do have some things in...

    I've never seen Slayers, so I cant really do any proper atributions.

    For Anime Fans-Your ideas about an "Anime Tarot"

    I've composed an "Anime Tarot" list, with anime characters as each of the 22 cards of the Major Arcana. I did it, this time, trying not to use multiple characters from the same anime (I did use Paranoia Agent twice). Allowing for that might have different results...I'd like to know what others...

    Looking for Herculiods DVD

    Holy crap I'd forgotten all about the Herculoids! What show were the on with?

    Today is "Our Birthday"

    I first read LOTR when I was 10/11, and I have not read it straight through in order since. I've re read certain parts many times, and probably read the whole content at least 3 times total. I've probably read "The Mirror of Galadriel" dozens of times. However, I started it again from the...
