These legs were made for walking
It's official: long limbs are an advantage for modern humans. But it hasn't always been that way. Kate Ravilious investigates
Wednesday 05 May 2004
Is it advantageous to have longer legs when going for a walk? For many years, scientists have been unable to agree over the answer to this question: some say that short legs have an energetic advantage, while others think that longer legs will be more efficient because the ground is covered in fewer steps. Now, two zoologists, Karen Steudel and Michael Tilken from the University of Wisconsin, have shown what many short-legged people already suspected: having long legs makes walking easier.
Is it advantageous to have longer legs when going for a walk? For many years, scientists have been unable to agree over the answer to this question: some say that short legs have an energetic advantage, while others think that longer legs will be more efficient because the ground is covered in fewer steps. Now, two zoologists, Karen Steudel and Michael Tilken from the University of Wisconsin, have shown what many short-legged people already suspected: having long legs makes walking easier.
In order to test the effect of leg length on walking efficiency, Steudel and Tilken measured the oxygen consumption of 21 volunteers (of varying leg lengths) while they pounded away on a treadmill. Each volunteer wore a mouthpiece to measure their respiratory gases, and did 12 minutes of walking at each of four speeds, from a gentle stroll to a brisk walk. As well as measuring the volunteer's leg length, the researchers recorded their height and weight and measured their percentage of body fat.
After taking all these factors into account, they found that the longer the legs a person has, the lower the amount of energy required to move each kilogram of body weight over the same distance. "A short-legged person uses about 10 per cent more calories than a long-legged person, to travel a given distance," says Steudel.
Evidently, long legs are an advantage for modern humans, but has it always been that way? Steudel and Tilken were also interested in how leg length has changed over time and what evolutionary pressures have driven these changes. To investigate this, they took measurements from fossil skeletons of some of our ancestors. They looked at two groups of ancient hominids (early humans) that have since become extinct: the Australopithecus and the Neanderthal.
Australopithecus was one of the first human ancestors to start walking upright on two legs. They lived in the wooded valleys of east and south Africa between about 4.5 and 2.5 million years ago. Neanderthals are more recent relatives of ours - they started to roam the earth around 500,000 years ago. They inhabited northern latitudes throughout Europe and lived by hunting. Around 35,000 years ago, they became extinct.
By measuring the length of the femur (upper leg bone) and tibia (lower leg bone) from a number of Australopithecus and Neanderthal fossil skeletons, Steudel and Tilken estimated that the average leg length for both types of prehistoric man. In addition, they used published estimates of the original body weights of each fossil skeleton.
Compared with modern man, Australopithecus was tiny. Their legs were about two-thirds of the length of a modern human leg, and an adult Australopithecus weighed only about 30kg. Neanderthals were more similar to modern man, but with a short, stocky build and a leg length that was about 10cm less than the average person today. Despite their shorter stature, Neanderthals were relatively heavy, weighing in at around 75kg.
When Steudel and Tilken plugged this data into their walking-efficiency equations, they discovered that modern man has by far the best body design for walking. "Due to the larger mass and shorter legs of Neanderthals, their energetic cost of walking would have been about 30 per cent greater than that of modern humans," says Steudel. It was more difficult to do a direct comparison between modern man and Australopithecus because they were so small that they fell outside of the scale of the human volunteers. None the less, by extrapolating the data, Steudel believes that Australopithecus suffered a similar amount of disadvantage to the Neanderthal.
This finding begs the question: if long legs are so good, why did the legs of the Australopithecus or the Neanderthal not become longer over time? "It seems surprising that ancient hominids never evolved to having long legs, and managed with short legs for hundreds of thousands of years or more. This strongly suggests that there must have been some considerable evolutionary pressure to keep short lower limbs," says Steudel.
Thinking about the lifestyles of the Australopithecus and the Neanderthal offered clues as to why these hominids maintained their stumpy stature. Australopithecus appears to have spent most of its time living in or around woodland. "There is some evidence to suggest that they may have spent large amounts of time in the trees. Short legs provide more power for climbing," explains Steudel. In addition, there is debate as to how good Australopithecus was at balancing on two legs. Some scientists believe that the orientation of their pelvis made them wobbly on their feet and that having shorter legs helped to keep the centre of gravity low and made balance a little easier.
The Neanderthal, on the other hand, lived in a relatively cold climate and relied on hunting and fishing for food. "Having shorter legs may have helped the Neanderthal keep warm in the cold weather," says Steudel. Having a smaller surface area helps to keep body heat in. What's more, their short and powerful legs could have been useful when thrusting a spear, making them better at hunting than a long-legged and lean man.
Another piece of research suggests that leg length is something that evolves very quickly. Sang-Hee Lee, from the University of California, and David Frayer, from the University of Kansas, have recently carried out a detailed study of European human leg length over the past 30,000 years. They measured the change in femur length and compared this with changes in climate across Europe during that period.
They found that femur length in humans was closely linked to the ups and downs in temperature. Between 30,000 and 18,000 years ago, Europe was in the grip of an ice age, becoming colder and colder as it headed towards its glacial maximum. From 18,000 years ago onwards, the ice began to retreat and by 10,000 years ago it was relatively balmy, enabling people to settle down and start trying to farm the land. Overall, there was a decrease in femur length during the entire period, but there was a short blip at the beginning, when femur length increased (and the climate cooled), before femur length settled into its downward trend.
Lee and Frayer are not yet sure how to explain the changes in femur length, but it is clear that leg length was responding to the climate in this case. One notion that they are interested in exploring further is whether changes in leg length are linked to changes in lifestyle, such as the introduction of agriculture. Compared with the hunter-gatherer lifestyle, farming is more sedentary and people have less need to be efficient at walking long distances. "It is likely that once people started farming, the population became more subject to malnutrition. They were putting all their eggs in one basket and a bad harvest could leave them with nothing to fall back on," says Lee. Possibly, evolving back towards a shorter stature would have made people better able to conserve energy and survive in times of hardship.
Interestingly, the femur length showed significant changes only in the male population during the past 30,000 years. This suggests that female leg length does not evolve as quickly as male leg length. Lee and Frayer think that men are more sensitive to these environmental changes. "Nature seems to experiment with the men," says Lee. Women appear to follow a more conservative pattern and only adopt evolutionary successes once the men have "tested" them out.
None the less, Steudel's and Tilken's study shows that women do catch up, and that leg length has been an important part of human development. From scrambling up trees to striding across the plains, and then settling down to become farmers, our legs have served us well. It would be intriguing to know how our leg length is responding to our current lazy lifestyle. If nature is adapting our legs to make us more efficient at sitting in front of televisions, computers and steering wheels, then our long-legged status may not last for much longer. Perhaps we had better enjoy walking while we can.

Dennys Reyes, Matt Albers make Sox bullpen; Hideki Okajima, Alfredo Aceves sent to minors |
03.28.11 at 9:40 am ET |
Hideki Okajima will start the season in Triple-A along with fellow reliever Alfredo Aceves, Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein announced Monday morning. Epstein divulged the team's final roster moves in preparation for Friday's season opener at Texas.
The assignments of Okajima and Aceves to Pawtucket makes room in the Boston bullpen for left-hander Dennys Reyes and righty Matt Albers. Reyes and Albers are on major league contracts (after the Sox purchased Reyes' contract Saturday) and do not have options.
Reyes, who turns 34 on April 19, pitched in 59 games for the Cardinals in 2010. He had a 3-1 record with a 3.55 ERA and a WHIP of 1.45. After giving up a hit and a walk in one inning Sunday vs. the Orioles, his spring training ERA sits at 2.70 and his WHIP is 1.40 in 10.0 innings.
Albers, 28, ranked third among American League relievers last season with 75 2/3 innings pitched for the Orioles. He had a 5-3 record with a 4.52 ERA and a WHIP of 1.48. Albers pitched Sunday against his former team and allowed his first two walks and first run of spring training. His 2010 spring training ERA is 2.84 with a WHIP of 1.26 in 12.2 IP.
Aceves, 28, went 3-0 with a 3.00 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 10 games for the Yankees last season. This spring he has a 4.05 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in 13.1 IP.
Okajima, 35, has spent four seasons with the Red Sox, but he had his worst season in 2010. Okajima went 4-4 with a 4.50 ERA and 1.72 WHIP in 56 games. This spring he has a 5.14 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in 7.0 IP.

10 Responses to Beaufort Sea Ice Area Above Normal – Has Doubled Since Last Year
Steven, you should update your graph that the poor boy Michael (from SkS?) was having such trouble with – global sea ice anomaly continues to increase.
Your ability to cherry-pick, distort, and hand wave is impressive, but some things are just too easy to refute. Who are you going to believe, denier scum or your lying eyes? This is square kilometers. It would look more "alarming: if it were in cubic kilometers:
We are all alarmed. Congrats on being the latest alarmist to go full feral on Steven's website. David, Lazarus, Tooi, MrsStrauss, Michael and yourself are a real climate hoot.
Ignorant retorts like Kyle Towers' are the final refuge that lying fools hide behind. I would love to know how Kyle and his fellow band of merry scientist propose to measure sea ice volume or to even compare todays sea ice volume to the sea ice volume of past days, years, decades, or centuries. Kyle's red herring fails to stink enough to hide the truth. This is doubly true with so much butt freezing sea ice floating around at both poles.
Saint Al of the Gore: you WILL pay a carbon (icicle) tax for global warming (cooling), based on phoney-baloney climate data, to my off-shore, completely tax-free, boiler-plate corporation or else!
There is an interesting program called "Pacific Heartbeat" which shows Pacific Islanders currently coping with their Islands (and way of life) being destroyed by rising sea levels. As an observer, not a judge, this doesn't bode well for NY or Miami, though it may or may not take time. There really should be more discussion about the US and Russian atmospheric Nuclear explosions, when by design holes were punched in the Ozone layer. It would appear the US government is attempting to redirect the debate, for obvious reasons. Carbon emissions are best limited, just look at China by satellite, it is truly horrific,but watching "Who Killed the Electric Car" shows how thoroughly corrupt things have become and demonstrates the difficulty in achieving any meaningful change. However, some of us think the main damage was done years ago, and yet no one ever mentions this. Ice levels are part of the data, but look at the Pacific Islanders and weather patterns for a broader and more accurate picture.
@Walter: Two of the prominent interviewees on "Who Killed the Electric Car" are Joe Romm and Ralph Nader. Enough said.

After the Sikka Committee took stock of the intense drought conditions in the district, Pune divisional commissionerate has sought as many as Rs 700 crore from the Centre to tackle the situation in the Pune division.
"We have already sent our proposal to the Centre. We have utilised Rs 400 crore to address the situation in the division and we need Rs 700 crore more. With the ground water level having gone down by 2-4 metres and the number of tankers at 1,100, we need the amount to tackle the situation for the next eight months," said Divisional Commissioner Prabhakar Deshmukh on Monday.
He said they would need the amount to complete the irrigation projects taken up in the district and the division. As per statistics provided by the divisional commissionerate, the division has around 27 irrigation projects. Some 75 per cent work is over for 14 projects and for the rest 13, 50 per cent work is done.
He said after the visit of the Sikka Committee, the commissionerate had pointed out separate measures to address the drought situation, especially in areas facing water scarcity. He said even as the sugar cultivation over the last 10 years in the division has gone up with the cultivation spread on 2.78 lakh hectares, the production has increased only by 4 tonnes.
The Sikka Committee had assessed drought-like conditions in Baramati, Indapur, Purandar and Daund taluks in the district, along with Satara and Sangli in the division. The committee comprising A K Sikka, B M Rampure, N D Singh and D Rath had discussed an action plan with DC Deshmukh, collector Vikas Deshmukh and agriculture and irrigation officials.
"There was both long-term and short-term measures for the division. We are hoping the same gets implemented with funds being sanctioned by the Centre,'' said officials. They said proposals regarding irrigation and agriculture were discussed for both the district and the division.

It is one of the best sport tournaments in the world. The main credit has to go to the Sevens managment, who runs the event years over years with passion, professionalism, and utmost love of the sport. The result speaks for itself. For the past 20 somewhat years, at the last weekend of each March, Asian expats, oversea fans, and fun-loving Hongies packed the sold-out stadium drank and cheered their hearts out. At the end of the 2 1/2 days, fans, athletic, and sponsors are all happily satisfied. I tend to agree with the author that I hope the Olympic could be managed as well and as passionate as the Sevens.

New rules on labor negotiations in southern China offer a potential solution to the country's growing problem with labor unrest while at the same time illustrating the difficulty the Communist Party faces in effectively addressing workers' grievances.
As Chinese society has grown more complex, the Communist Party's estimation of the annual Spring Festival TV gala as a means of communicating with the masses has increased.
President Xi Jinping's recent rhetoric on ruling the country according to law has cast a new shadow over legal reform in China.
A clampdown on "Western ideas" in Chinese classrooms isn't just about controlling society. It has another dimension, involving Xi's relationship with the conservative left in the Communist party.
For much of the last half-century, changing China through economic reform seemed to make far better sense than transforming the country through political revolution. Xi Jinping is trying to flip that on its head.

This is my first post.. so hopefully my answers are good enough.
I will only do favourites because animes that I don't like, I forget fast Favourites: 1: Legend of Galactic Heroes - I think an anime should not only have a plot, but have a plot that really developes. I like LOGH because it talks about politics, it has real character development and real fighting strategies (except for that humans can't fight in space yet) I like the fact that you don't just "understand" why this person does such and such by watching the anime, you actually have to think about the whole picture (i.e. the politics involved, the character relationships) Also, I feel more involved because I am watching the rise and fall of the characters in the anime. 2: Junni Kokki - Similar to my reasonings in #1, the strategies presented in this anime (both fighting and how to be a good king) are not non-sense. Junni Kokki also presents great character development. What surprises me too, is that it doesn't just focus on the main character. You can see the changes/growth in personality clearly in different characters. The other thing is that a lot animes which involve "the other world" sometimes fail to describe this "other world" in detail - i.e. how does this world function? but Junni Kokki successfully builds a "complete" world - throughout the series, you learn about its government structure and schooling systems, etc. These are the only two that I can remember well - there are lots of anime that I liked, but I figure if I can't remember much of it, then they're probably not my favourites. |

My ten favorites? Well that's pretty easy...
1. Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu: I love the storyline, something easy to relate to. The mix of comedy, drama, and romance gives it a nice touch. 2. Mezzo: A fairly new anime to me, just recently buying it yesterday and watching the first five episodes. I like all the characters and the chick Mikura has that certain cool quality I like in anime characters. 3. DragonBall Z and GT: Well, I do like this anime but probably only because of one character in the show, Android 18. Maybe one of my very first favorite anime characters. A blonde bombshell that can kick butt? Definitely a favorite. 4. InuYasha: Ah, InuYasha, a favorite series of mine and it's finally picking up! (finally luring Naraku out! ) I love the storyline, being in the olden days of Japan and destroying demons? Sweet! 5. Ghost In The Shell Series: I love this series! Some animes with futuristic settings really catches my eye and there's finally new episodes! 6. Trigun: An old favorite anime of mine. The old western type anime interested me. There's so many unique characters! (Like Milly! ) Plus the guns they pack! 7. Tenchi Muyo Series: Tenchi! This series is so funny! Especially when Ayeka and Ryoko fight over Tenchi! Also that little rabbit thing Ryo-Ohki. (very kawaii) 8. Full Metal Alchemist: Very cool anime series! It proves to be very entertaining and full of action and excitement! 9. Cowboy Bebop: Oh, I love this show! "Faye Faye"! All the characters are awesome and they really go into detail when talking about the main characters backgrounds. I think Faye's and Ed's stories were the most interesting to me. 10. Samurai Champloo: This show is awesome! I love samurai animes! 5 least favorite animes 1. Sailor Moon: Eh, this anime never really interested me. I think it's more intended for girls, but it's just my opinion. No offense to the male Sailor Moon fans. 2. Paranoia Agent: The visuals are amazing, the characters are interesting, but what the hell? I never really understood what exactly was going on. Like that one episode when the old man, the tall guy with long hair, and that little girl all want to kill themselves and are happy to see that boy with the bat so he can kill them? Ok... 3. Pokemon Series: Ok, I admit I used to like this show...until everything got so repetitive that the episodes put me to sleep! For example...Team Rocket's motto! It gets annoying over time. I can't think of anymore animes I don't like, lol. |

umm okay...
10 favourite 10) Rayearth Okay, I've only watched this a couple of times, but I'm a bit of a sucker for magical girl shows, and the characters were really something. Yay. 9) Sailor Moon This must have been one of the first anime I watched, though I didn't know it at the time. I loved it then and I still love it now. 8) Gravion Yes, seriously. It's so funny. I think it's great. If you look past the fan service, there's a great story, and it's worth finding. 7) R.O.D OVA This was just fantastic. It was like nothing else I've ever seen (the whole paper thing), and that made it so compelling. 6) Azumanga Daioh Very, very funny. Especially the karaoke episode. My poor eardrums 5) RahXephon I haven't finished this yet but I love it already. The character relationships are very intriguing (although episode 12 did creep me out a bit...) 4) Gundam Wing This is the show that really got me into anime and, frankly, I love mecha shows. 3) Neon Genesis Evangelion I just love this. It was so confusing! The last couple of episodes seriously messed with my head, but aside from that, I found that I was asking myself questions throughout the whole series and I'm still asking them now. 2) Princess Nine The character realtionships really drew me in. It was very suspenseful. And it actually made me interested about baseball. Wow... 1) Noir There are so many reasons I love this shows. Characters, plot, music (yay), animation...all of it. Particularly the realtionship between Mireille and Kirika. Watching it develop was a very fulfilling experience. And it made me cry seven times. Which is shocking if you know me. 5 Least Favourite 5) Escaflowne Just could not get into this. The concept did not settle right within my head, and I couldn't sympathise with the characters. 4) Pokemon I'm afraid it just drives me nuts (Ash is very very annoying.) I may have liked it when I was nine, but it's just not really my thing anymore. And trying to keep track of that many pokemon is just confusing. 3) DBZ All the screaming...dear God. The characters drove me crazy, and the fact that all my friends kept trying to get me to like it probably made it worse. 2) Vampire Hunter D I couldn't get into this one either. I'm not a very big fan of things with lots of vampires in it. My friend loves it, but me... 1) Akira This is probably the biggest piece of garbage I've ever seen. The story was way too farfetched for me, and all I really saw was lots of violence and nudity... Last edited by happy_fanged_bunny on Wed Dec 14, 2005 11:30 am; edited 2 times in total |

Top 10, er, 7
Initial D I love cars. I love auto racing. Almost anything that has to do with cars I'm into (with the exception of NASCAR and the *puke* IndyCar Series.) Which is why I love Initial D so much. The Tokyopop edits are irritating but overlookable - this series will turn you into a total car nut in a hurry. I'm willing to make a case that Takumi Fujiwara needs a drive in Formula 1 but he's merely fictional. Damn. Outlaw Star I saw this when it first aired on Toonami and missed only one or two episodes. I was that hooked on it. A great mix of awesome characters, a well-developed story and blazing action. If only more people these days knew. By the way, in an unrelated note, does anyone know where I could perhaps find OLS Uncut on DVD? Anyone? InuYasha "OMG THE STORYS SO LONG AND REPETITIVE" "THIS SERIES IS A RIPOFF OF (insert series here)" Blah Blah Blah. IDGAF. Yes, it is dragging on a bit. And it's not my absolute favourite series. But hey, there's some good parts. The fight scenes, assuming they meet a climax, are some of the best in anime. I can relate to a few of the characters (Inu and Kohaku especially). Despite the story being long, it's actually very well put together. All that's needed is a proper ending to finish it off. Mobile Fighter G-Gundam The majority of Gundam series involve two things: One, a crap-load of mech fights. Two, some military organization raises hell and breaks off of Earth, starting a one-year war. G-Gundam takes all the mechanized brutality of the other series and turns it into sport. No UN-esque diplomacy and certainly no Relena Peacecraft-alikes. And they manged to have a legitimate story along with it. And besides, how can you not like a Gundam named after hard liquor? Neon Genesis Evangelion I've only seen two episodes. That's really all I need at the moment. I even got obsessed with it before seeing it. Yes, there are some ways the series falls flat. And there's also that problem of a certain commander's son *COUGH* but it lives up to the hype 90-95 percent of the time. Great music, dub voiceovers that are actually NOT terrible, intriguing, deep characters, and...oh I can't think of it all! What was I missing the past decade?!?! Naruto This. Series. Owns. Yes it's lengthy like InuYasha but there are some advantages. The characters are slightly deeper and you can relate with any one of them. (Even Chouji!) Animation quality is some of the best around right now. Story builds on itself quite well. Like IY, if you're complaining that the story goes too slow and list it as the #1 reason you hate it, might I suggest some ADHD pills? Or a slap to the head? Cowboy Bebop It might be considered a lame cop-out to say "Need I say more" but what hasn't been said about it that's great? Spike is perhaps the coolest character in anime, while I simply love Ed for her 1337-haxing skillz and almost limitless energy that offsets the somewhat mellowed-out rest of the cast. Out of every series I've liked this one has the best animation quality of all of them, perhaps the best characters and is probably the reason I really watch anime as much as I do. Only one flaw, IMHO, Vicious isn't the world's greatest villain. Bottom 3 **SPOILERS!!!*** Are intentionally not labeled to save you the misery of watching these suck-fests if you haven't already. If you have, the eye wash is down the hall on your right. Yu-Gi-Oh. Remember how Pokemon got so much success among gullible little 8-year-olds despite being utter garbage? Hey, let's do the same thing again! And surely enough, they suckered in a new cast of really gullible third-graders with an anime that has probably the cheesiest plot ever (Pokemon's was better, even) and absolutely nothing intriguing. And then they bring in the card game, which has now ruined my Saturday afternoons at the bookstore. Because I 'love' reading Naruto and being asked out of nowhere by some eight year-old trailer trash "Hey, you wanna trade cards?" a thousand times. Reign: The Conqueror The story of Alexander the Great, told in pseudo-anime. It works in theory, but when it materialized thanks to Aeon Flux creator Peter Cheung, it turned out even worse than that Alexander movie that came out a year or two ago. If the weak, confusing story didn't set you off, maybe the combination of Cheung's characters that look like person-shaped bubblegum wads and every male character in a thong will. Well, at least one thing worked, eh Peter? Android Kikaider Everything about anime you can possibly dislike or hate is perfectly meshed together in this series. Boring story, weak characters, uninteresting villain and of course, a wonderful, climactic ending where everyone dies abruptly in a lame-ass fianl battle. I'm gonna run over to that eye-wash I mentioned earlier. |

My Top
1. .hack//SIGN. Who cares if it has a lot of talking. When does sensles violence make anything that worthwhile to watch? It has a unique and intresting story, to it. Great Animation, and music as well. It's diffrent, it's fresh, it's not popular by word of mouth. Fun varitey of chracters 2. MADLAX. Again like SIGN it's a very diffrent type of show. It has a lot of intresting out looks on war, and violence. Again fantastic music. Fun and intresting characters 3. Digimon. A fun adventrue to enjoy. It has really more comming of age feel to it, as opposed to Pokemon. Emphasizes Team Work, and freindship, loyalty, and bond. Not so repetative, fresh diffrent and unique season to season. 4. Kenshin. Sorry if it's spelled wrong. It's a tircky word. Rich in historical detail, and art. A little Romance (I'm very fond of the Shoujo Genere) Nice action, and the sense of wanting redemption, and feeling remorse for your sins of killing so many people. His desire for that makes you feel for him deeply. 5. MEW MEW (Nutrality title) It is very Shoujo-Grily, but I like it. It's funny, it's not over the top with violence and creature combat. It's nice to just have an Anime you can kick back with, and not have to worry so much about objectional stuff. Nice broad age range. (Bah how could I forget about the Anime with the amzing plot I brag about so much) 6. Chrono Crusade (a.k.a. Chrno Crusade in Japan) I like this show because it does kind of hit close to home. Well other than the fact it takes place in the U.S.A. but it's religous themes. I follow religion of course both actviley and socially-studying. And I like it's fabled turn on religion. It's fun it's exciting, and it's well researched. Not to mention the incrediable roller coaster trick pulled on Episoded 7 when Aion Appears. spoiler[ Man that Episode was SCARY! I was on the edge of my seat during that, and bighting my nails. It was the greatest Anime plot twist I've ever seen out of nowhere. The way it just went from really light and chomical to frightfully dark. ] And it's greatly dubbed. I love Jessica Boone, she makes Azmaria so cute! Hilary Hagg does fantastic, as well as Greg Ayrers, Mandy Clark, Jason Dougalas and all the rest of them. For my Bottoms 1. Pokemon: I used to like it, but now it's just the same thing over and over again. 2. Sonic X. I would like this better if 1. The story was better and more faithful to the Sonic Universe, and two if the Voice Acting was Better. 3. Naruto. I think it's a good show, but I think it's way too long and drawn out. It does have some nice comming of age feel to it, and some fine action, but it does get on the gory side. OVER 200 EPISODES AND COUNTING, I can't keep up. And seeing as everyone has to hate U.S. Dubs (Even though it wasn't as bad as it would thought to be) I can't keep up with the series either way. And I am completly opposed to Piracy so, I don't download. 4. Zatch Bell. They look like ventrilliquest dummies. Not to mention the Dub has Jimmy Nutorns voice in it, and it makes me cring. I don't really think it's anything special, it's really just like a lot of shounen Anime. 5. Kare Kano. It was really exhausting to watch. The Millions of annecdotes to keep track of, following the greatly rushed story, and so on. And it was so pathetic on how much vainty the main character has, really I've never seen anyone so full of themeselves. (Although nicley voiced I think by Veronica Taylor) Last edited by AnimeEnthusiast on Mon Dec 05, 2005 9:30 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Hello all, this is my first post. And here are my 10 favorites and while I'm listing them, I'll try and rack my brain for ones I don't like.
1. Ah (Oh) My Goddess (Aa Megami-sama): The very first anime that I ever saw. I will always hold it dear to my heart. I mostly like it because of how closely to Norse Mythos it is. And how Belldandy is from heaven and the concepts of Heaven being computerized and connected to Ydrassil, that was just brilliant on the writers behalf! 2. Fruits Basket (Furuba): Not the next anime I saw, but one that a good friend introduced me to. I started reading it as a manga and bought a box set that had a couple ova's in it and I was hooked. Mainly because the characters are so much fun to read about and it reminded me a lot of Love Hina.....which brings me to... 3. Love Hina: Ken Akamatsu is brilliant!!! I belive a friend of mine down at MIT, and I were having a heated discussion about whether or not Naru and Belldandy were the same person. (he found a pin-up of Naru and was trying to tell me it was Belldandy (see 1.)) I did a search and found Love Hina. Started reading about it and then downloaded the ova's and watched them all in one nights sitting! Come on, a mysterious girl who's 12 but turns 17 over the passing of a cloud, and girls trying to kill the rounin! And a girl who's a child prodigy of a fighting clan? What's NOT to love?! 4. Chobits: I think I fell in love with a picture before I actually saw any of it. I found a chobits picture while I was online looking for something and there she was. Chii... I saw the name of it was chobits and at the time I was in between anime... I needed a new one. And then 2 days later, I was at a local music and movie store and ran accross disc 6 for 5$. I had to buy it! I know. Laugh and snort all you want, I went home, tried watching it, and had to call up my g/f and find out if she had any of it, and she loaned me the first 5 discs. Much better. 5. Petite Princess Yucie (Platnum Princess): Okay, laugh again. Yes this is one of my favorites and i rank it in the top 5. You'll laugh at the next one too.. I promise. I was surfing on my tv for something to watch and since we have cable and On Demand Anime Network, I thought I'd try out something I hadn't seen. There was Princess Yucie. I read the description and thought, well, I'm stuck in bed for the next week, I might as well watch it... I did. And it's up to episode 20 and I'm still watching! I really like the idea behind it. 5 girls are competing to be the platnum princess. one girl from each realm; fairy, earth, heaven, hell and spirit. They're all around 17 years old and 4 of them are princesses already. Except Yucie who was found on a battle field by her father. There's wild antics as they're competing and going to school together. However there's a great twist. They're all 17-ish, yet they're stuck in a 12 y/o's body. It's great. 6. Princess Tutu: Same thing as with the first one. Same day even. Though it was on episode 2 and I had to wait until the first episode repeated itself. What drew me in, is that I'm a dancer. And I love just about anything that's about dance. I'm also a child at heart so the German Storytelling aspect really appeals to me as well! I found it to be very Nutcracker-esque (the theme song has Tchicovsky's Nutcracker Waltz right in it) The whole anime serries is about this story teller who is about to die. But instead of dying he just vanishes and the last story he was working on comes to life. A little duck is transformed into a girl who must help the prince relocate the shards of his heart that were scattered about. And in order to do that she transforms into the form of Princess Tutu. Behind all that, Duck, Muto, and the rest of the cast go to school at a prestigious dancing school, where you also get to watch the antics that go on there. 7. Rayearth Magic Knights: not the ova's but the the 3 part movie-ish videos. I've seen the ova's and where I like them, I'm not that big of a fan of them. However, this movie version of it. I really love. It was beautifully done and I think it rates right up there with Miazaka's work. Rayearth comes to Tokyo. Fuu, Umi and Hikaru are the only ones left from earth and have to keep Rayearth from materializing on Earth itself. 8. Final Fantasy 7; Advent Children: I'm not sure if this counts, but wow. I'm most definately a video game rpg fan. Especially of Final Fantasy. The movie, was very well done and though there was a few parts that were a bit much....I enjoyed every second of it. 9. Unico and the Island of Magic: I lied, now that i think about it, this was my very first anime. But as a child. My gram reccorded an episode of this and I fell in love with it. A unicorn that has the power to make ANYONE happy. The west wind brings him to this place to hide from the gods and he ends up meeting up with this girl who takes him in and this marionette wizard is turning people into these weird puppet things to build his castle and unico and the girl have to stop him. 10. Jubei and the Lovely Eye Patch: I discovered this when I first met my best friend. She and I were having an akward first visit and she said: wanna watch some anime? I said sure and she popped this in. A girl and her father move to a new town where she is accosted by this samurai trainee who has been searching for her for years because she is the reincarnate of his master. The reincarnation is only realised though, when she puts on "the lovely eye patch" . When on, she transforms into one of the most fierce samurai warriors and people come from all over to challenge her. yet she doesn't know why or have any memory of what's going on when she's in samurai form. there's my top 10. Oh there's plenty more! who can onlly choose 10? As for the 5 dislikes? 1. Akira: I found it very boring and hard to sit through. I didn't like what plot there was and though i enjoy motor bikes myself... that's all there was at the beginning. Maybe I didn't watch enough of it allt he way through. 2. Ceres the Celestial Maiden: Yu Watase is a wonderful creator and a wonderful wonderful artist. And Ceres is one of my favorite mangas by far... However, I found that I couldn't follow the Anime. It'd go by too fast and I couldn't catch it all. 3. Arjuna: This was on either Adult Swim on demand or Anime Network on demand. It reminded me WAY too much of an earth day after school special. Girl dies and then gets sent back to become one with natureand save the planet from the evil toxins. It sounds okay. but could've been done a lot better. Though i REALLY liked the artwork. 4. Pretear: Corny... way too corny... "Preete with me! Preete with me!" Just... oy. 5. Dragon Ball(z) and the rest: my number one complaint; does it ever end?! I mean it drags out. Every episode is almost the same thing. Each episode goes dialogue, argument, battle, battle some more, flashy lights and kameameah! An anime should have a little more meat than muscle. |

No, you're English isn't that bad. Think of it this way, there are people who's native language is English on these forums and they have much worse grammar and spelling than you. So, ya, thanks for telling me your native language . |

naruto-kun Posts: 33 Location: Rotterdam, The Netherlands |
Easy! In no particular order, my top 10 anime faves 1. Gits:SAC This series gives a good insight in what possibly to expect in the future. Coupled with the action, good animation, a good musical score by the always amazing Yoko Kanno, the cool political storyline and the cool characters this is really good series! 2. Wolf's Rain Beautiful, tough and gripping. But how xould they finish the series like they did. Luckily, they produced three more episodes for a more satisfactory ending (dvd only though). 3.
