Takmadeus, this does not have anything to do w/your topic, but I was just wondering, are you still interested in Pocket PC emulators?
If so, I have some screenshots of NES games running on my Cassio E-125 Pocket PC. If you are interested, I'll post them. Let me know. Now, I'm going to move this to Off Topic Discussion where it really belongs.
sincerely,

Akira is pretty hard to understand (althought I think Eva is a lot harder), and since it's been a while since I last saw it I'll not comment on it. But, since you're also talking about Nadesico, my favorite Anime, I'm forced to speak a little:

---SPOILER---

One of the main stories of Nadesico is their attempt to find out how to move faster than light. The Jovians seem to be able to do it (throught their "Tulip" ships), and this is a major advantage on them.

Now, if you're trying to understand how the teletransportation ("boson jump") system works, here's what can I tell. In the series, they describe it as not really being teletransportation, but actually time travel. Much of its workings is left unexplained, but it's somehow related to those blue crystals and the "black box" found on Mars. That thing is a highly advanced computer, and is thanks to it that the boson jumps works as teletransportation instead of time travel.

Now, about the people who can "jump", without using a ship. It's mentioned in the series that when Mars was colonized, they used nanomachines to change its atmosphere into something more suited for humans. Well, that "black box" seems to also have found an use for the nanomachines. It used them to change something inside the bodies to those people born in Mars so that they could survive a boson jump. And that includes Akito, Yurika and Ines.

---END SPOILER---

Yes, Akira seems very strange, but to really understand it, you have to read the manga, since the anime has nearly nothing to do with it. I could say that it's only a demonstration of what Katsuhiro Otomo is capable of doing (and yes, he rocks!). The original manga is a looong story, and you may be able to find it with collectors (only).

Oh... unfortunately I haven't got a chance to see Nadesico...

**Xeven** · January 14th, 2002

anime.. well i just love 'em anyway..

Takmadeus · January 14th, 2002

well.... I got another one.....

boogiepop phantom...

it is ??????

well, somehow it has something to do with evolution, buty why an android has the name of a candy???

**Ryos** · January 15th, 2002

Evangelion isn't hard to understand at all. However, you have to be screwed up to really figure out what's going on. The more "normal" you are, the more difficult it is.

**Shiori** · January 15th, 2002

I guess that's why I can't understand much then, try as I might.

Love Hina is a bit tuff to follow, but they always leave something in each episode to show its place in the story.

Takmadeus · January 26th, 2002

Death Metal · January 26th, 2002

I can't help you on this one, sorry. BTW, this thread was already dead for a bit long, wasn't it? (Well, I must admit anyway that it is quite normal to bring up old memories around here, though
