Re: The Animu thread
The first was the one with the line you mentioned, the fight over whether to use the appleseed data or not, and the big mobile fortress fight at the end.
The second was the one with the bad guys that might as well have "evil" tattooed on their fore head, the new bio-roid character (Tereus I think?) who could apparently somehow compete with Briareos advanced cyborg body in physical combat, and the floating island nonsense. They also tried to make the 3D CG look shinier and "more 3D", which was the opposite of the animation concept behind the first film. (I watched the DVD extras. Pretty cool to see how they do it.)
The main thing I hear/read when proper Shiro fans are talking about the CG movie, is that the characters personality and history aren't fully faithful to the manga. I wouldn't know how much so, but I still liked them. I do intend on watching/reading the older works sometime, so maybe I'll get a better idea of their true character latter.
Seen a bit of Dokuro Chan too. An amusing series to show people the opening of, or to set a few eps playing in the background at a party full of drunks. A few people come over to take a look, typical cute Japanese stuff they think, and out of the blue she pulls a gigantic spiked iron club and suddenly disembowels someone. Classic face watching fun.
