Ronja the Robber's Daughter available in UK

For UK peps (having read the article US too).

Apparently Ronja the robber's daughter, the Ghibli Anime series, that has now been dubbed, will be available on Amazon Prime video on 27th Jan 2017

I have actually not heard much about, it so no idea if its any good. But as it Ghibli I'm sure I'll end up watching it

Long time coming to UK. Finally When Marie was there is getting a limited UK cinema release.

In the past I have found that Cineworld and PictureHouse cinemas are the most likely to show Ghibli movies.

I like you love the movie, close call for me between Whisper of the heart and Nausicaa for my favourite Ghibli movie.

I read them about 2 years ago and i can say you are in for a treat, the middle and end divert, or probably more accurately expand, from the movie.

I found that the movie was inhanced by reading the manga as it gives more background on the ecology and characters.

I know nothing about the Japanese language, but my flat mate is learning. I have seen her watching NHK World http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NHK_World, she has been recording some good language programs.

If you are in the UK and on virgin media XL package it is channel 625.

No idea if Sky has it, but i think FreeSat does.

Just thought some of you may be interested.

I think the one showing of the wind rises is because it is a preview. General release in the UK is 9th May. I think cineworlds are going to show it.

Yup Eve Online is basically a huge sandbox, were you have a market to buy and sell stuff, build stuff, blow stuff/people up and can fight and own your own space and stations etc. It basically an MMO with no "endgame".
It is basically a set of game mechanics were you can do stuff all based around space flight. So you can for example (and by not means a full list)

1) Fly around and look at the pretty ships
2) Mine asteriods for minerals.
3) Build stuff from the materials.
4) Set up moon mining outposts.
5) Run missions for NPC corpations (corpations are like guilds in most games), which is PvE combat.
6) Head into lawless space and stake a claim to it, which involves building or capturing a space station then defending it.
7) Pirate off other people. Eve has non consential PvP.

Setting goals about what to do is up to the player not the game.

The big difference between Eve online and every other MMO is that EVERYBODY plays the game game, there is only 1 server (well technically 2, but the other is for china only) so everybody is competing/or helping everybody. It is normal to have 30k players online at once.

So Saddle you a flight sim fan.
I always wanted to enjoy flight sims but found that i hated the fact you would have to spend 10 hours practcing how to land a plane before you could play. It why i got in Space Sims rather than flight sims, because they always had auto dock features and stuff so it was just pure dog fighting (and no chance of hitting the floor ) ).
As all the space sims i have played are not based on zero gravity and zero drag because this tends to make a very dull game. In my experience most are actually based as if you are flying in water.

Space sims i have played

Elite (old school on C64)
Wing commander 1, 2 & 3
Privateer 1 & 2
X-wing
Tie-Fighter
Tachyon the Fringe
Freespace

then as i said earlier Eve, and i havent played another game except Eve on my PC since hehe

Ooo gaming thread like it.

I'm a bit of a gamer, between work, anime and gaming that my free time used up. Well apart from Pub time . But when im in doors anime and gaming is about all i do.

Games im currently playing

PSP -> FF tactics for on the train to and from work.
Just got a Wii so been playing sports and brain adcademy. Planning to buy mario party 8 and galaxies in the very near futrure.

But my true love in gaming is Eve Online
I been playing 3 years now...... and it is still engaging and fun. It basically a MMO version of Elite for the 21st centrury.

1. what country are you from?
England

2. how old are you?
30

3. are you male or female?
Male

4. do you enjoy watching Studio Ghibli films?
Yes

5. which is your favorite Studio Ghibli film? and why?
My Neighbour Totoro
The music i love, gets stuck in my head sometimes and start singing to myself (in my head) all the way home on the train. It just a really fun entertaining film, with some depth (the whole mother in the hospital) if you want to see otherwise you can see it just as an entaining fantasy movie.

6. how old were you when you first watched a Studio Ghibli film?
27

7. which aspects of the films do you enjoy the most? (eg. the fantasy, the representation of gender, the action, the dialogue, etc)
The characterisation and storytelling is what draws me in with Ghibli movies. The musical scores are usually spot on too.

There are many Totoro images (most you can find on the web with a quick google image search) that arent in the movie. They come from merchandising some from posters other from the calendars (as someone else stated).

My house mate has the 2005 Totoro split up and posted all over her room, and many of those images are not in the movie.

What you mean "after the net". After the internet obviously (because it needs TCP/IP protocol to work) but well pre of the world wide web that only came into existence in 1993. IRC i think (but not sure) has been around since the 70s, but definitely before 1993.
