I meta-tag all my sogs with lyrics for iphone/ipod quick reference.. but the best I can find for this song look like they've been through babelfish!.. Anyone know enough japanese to translate? perhaps catch any poetic kanji double-entendres which can't cross over to latin based languages? <a href="http://music.goo.ne.jp/lyric/LYRUTND56651/index.html" rel="nofollow">プライド～嘆きの旅</a> Foxberry on "Hello All~!" http://bayanime.com/forums/topic/hello-all#post-2012 Fri, 12 Feb 2010 00:56:11 +0000 Foxberry 2012@http://bayanime.com/forums/ Hi everyone~! I'm foxberry, I'm sort-of-new to cosplay and the convention scene, I say this because I've only started cosplaying since Memorial Day weekend 2009 and I've moved to the Bay Area not too long ago, July. However I have been into anime since I was 15, my first anime was Sailor Moon and I still cherish it till this day. I'm 26 now and I enjoy various other things outside of anime and cosplay; some which include art and writing as well as "old-school" text-based roleplay (multi-paragraphs which were more common during yahoo's roleplay golden age haha). In any case I'm looking forward to meeting new people! DYRL84 on "Cowboy Bebop" http://bayanime.com/forums/topic/cowboy-bebop#post-1954 Sun, 03 Jan 2010 22:24:02 +0000 DYRL84 1954@http://bayanime.com/forums/ So I finally started watching Cowboy Bebop. I wasn't immediately hooked but I must admit that the show has gradually grown on me. After the first few episodes I began thinking about Spike's character and how he reminded me of a "wandering samurai" anitihero archetype. What was kinda cool was at the same moment that I came to this realization the following scene occured. In episode 3 in the casino there was a scene where patrons watched a black and white samurai flick while Spike walked casually by and jingled chips in one hand and then Spike paused to look at the screen. That was such a surreal moment for me. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPDJKKUypTM" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPDJKKUypTM</a> (6:11 to 6:18)...Sorry I was too lazy to find a fansub or raw link :P I'm at the mushroom episode and so far I really like the cool vibe of the anime and the pop culture homages/references to both music and film. I also like the story-telling, pacing, character development, and depth of Cowboy Bebop. I think I saw some Bruce Lee film references. Did anyone else see any other pop culture references? What does everyone else think of Cowboy Bebop?

Backgrounds and animation style seem kinda Bakemonogatari-ish and a touch FLCL-ish to me.

I'm personally not a key decider of what we show, but be assured that your comments will be seen by the cabal in charge of this. More general discussion about the shows is fine too. Let me start with a something that I found a little confusing the first time I watched "The Twelve Kingdoms". All the dialog is in Japanese. The vast majority of characters in the "other world" are actually supposed to speak only some completely different language. High school students Sugimoto and Asano are supposed to speak only Japanese. Nakajima mysteriously can speak both languages, and she didn't realize that she was speaking the other world's language at first.
