The diagonal text on the rear half of the car is good. That's standard-level decal application to me. I still am not a fan of pasting shots of a character's body on the car's body though. However, its position is meant to work with the text so I'm kinda alright with it.

Would've looked for another solution, but that's just my finicky taste in "graphic design" on car bodies.

More fanart because I have absolutely nothing better to do!

(you know, its a shame Tsumugu wasn't more important overall; he was pretty cool imo)

^ Trigger should consider a nice side/back story of Tsumugu before his exploits with Ryoko.

Since it's April fools, I'm going to reminisce on the past when Adult Swim was at it's prime.

Back in 2004, for April Fools day, the wizards at Adult Swim drew mustaches on all the faces of the characters in all the anime shown for the night. EVERYTONE HAD A MUSTACHE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I remember waking up in the middle of the night and seeing Faye with a black streaked mustache. Full blown WTF face.

Anyone remember this? I miss those days.
 
Nope because back then I was almost 10, and had no idea what the hell anime was. I didn't actually really start watching [adult swim] until November 2008 when I was 14 after hearing about a show called Bleach after I was all sad Toonami was gone (This was how I finally got into anime).

I do really like this April Fools they did that actually led to it coming back.
 
Has anyone got suggestions of Anime with at least some reference to truth in them?
I don't mind mixing fact and fiction but I am not too keen on all fiction.

Currently I have watched.
Sengoku Basara. The characters (except Kasuga) and some events are true, just not their extreme power.
Currently ploughing through Zipang (yes I am late to the party) and I am quite enjoying it.

Any more suggestions?

Maybe Zankyou no Terror? I haven't seen it yet but I guess it has some truth behind it

This has been on repeat for the whole day....

Let's see what will happen with "Tank!"...

Think it's time to blow this scene, get everybody and the stuff together... okay, three, two, one, let's jam~ :D

God, that song is awesome. I'd definitely put this song on loop while playing GTA V on my Xbox. ^^

Hmm might be worth something.

Anything military based whilst fulfilling the criteria in the previous post? Ie no future stuff.

To be honest, underneath the surreal surface, FLCL is probably the most realistic work of fiction I've ever encountered.
Click to expand...
So, aliens, self-driving Vespas, Rickenbacker bass guitars capable of firing some kind of ammunition and smashing pretty much anything without shattering into pieces of maple, robots and a Gibson Flying V spontaneously popping out of a child's head are realistic? :P

I'm missing the point completely.

Should've had Patchouli for my avatar for April Fools, really...still, it's Maribel for now.
Click to expand...
Or maybe you should have Patchouli year round ;)
I used to love her. I'm not into Touhou as much ever since the specially themed TF2 server went to hell and came back with tons of lag and bad administration. Did anyone here ever play there?

They'll allow illegal streams, but have some concern for the actual content itself? Perhaps officials fear potential incidents in the future where stuff like the shows they mentioned will be scapegoated. Whatever, really. Some stuff anime does is pretty out there so I can understand. But still...

"Blood-C is accused of containing a "particularly bloody" beheading scene that would cause "extreme discomfort""

I need to see this. @TheCorvette, do you recall what episode this is from? :dopey:

Give her a few years and she'll probably resemble Yukari in looks. ;)

Also, cute avatar. :)

The funny thing is they allow live-action Hollywood movies that can be on the same level of violence. Like Kingsman: The Secret Service was allowed there. Oh and then there's Transformers, which the Chinese LOVE to death. Transformers 4 is now the biggest movie there ever, made $301 million (That's more than it made here, $245 million).

I haven't seen the show since it aired, but lots of episodes had that kind of stuff (Stop blinding me sun censors!), and then there's the ending of the final episode that is a total troll. CLAMP sure trolled us, and kept trolling us even after the movie that was even worse (At least the visuals were very nice) which also for some reason got funding from the Japanese government.
 
It doesn't have much relation, but it's complete crap, a total nonsensical mess, and a total troll. That seems to be the only reason it exists, to troll people.
