So I was perusing the Anime Shin-Gen boards which is one of those things that, as an organizer, I should do more of than I do when I saw the link to the link to this:

I don't know ... Kaname is pretty vicious with that harisen.

Yes, but should we be excited in a positive way? Or a negative way?

A computer geek manga? Whee!

The comments left on the thread re: FMP were something less than thrilled with a) the project in general and b) Zac Efron being considered for the lead.

First Avatar and now this! *adopts tragic pose* Is nothing sacred?

Every adaptation get a negative response from the fans, right?

On the other hand, who the heck is Zac Efron?

Looked at his credits and I've seen some of that stuff but I guess he was unmemorable.

Who is Zac Efron?

Four words.

High School Musical/Disney.

Yep, a real acting heavyweight of the creampuff variety. And he looks so totally Asian with the blond hair and blue eyes. *snerk*

At least FMP has a large number of non-Asian characters canonically.

But Sousuke is not one of them. However, Kurz has blond hair and blue eyes.

You know I use Ubuntu for everything. All I do is crash Windows and it (Windows) takes days to re-install. I'm curious as to where ch 2 of the manga will take us; ch. 1 seems to be strictly about the OS and not the club. hmmm ( ... )

I have been thinking of taking one of our old boxes and giving Linux a try. So far it has just been a vague thought, though.

FMP is the only mecha manga/anime that I really like probably because it's not really about the mecha. And, because I like funny stuff, I prefer Fumoffu but it is all pretty good.

In The Second Raid, Sousuke is told to never contact Kaname again. Later he's wandering around an evacuated Hong Kong and meets a hooker who looks almost exactly like Kaname. I found the episode riveting despite the lack of any action (of any nature). Somehow they managed to get Sousuke's internal struggle on to the screen.

If you want to give it a quick try you can dl the live cd and use it on your current puter w/o it touching anything on your XP. If you do give it a shot on a box you don't need any AV; no virii for Linux.

I bet you like Azumanga Daioh.

I could not sit through Azumanga Daioh. We watched several eps but it didn't go anywhere and there was nothing endearing about the characters.

Strawberry Marshmallow, now, that was funny.
