Olaf the Troll ,'Showtime'
Discussion of episodes currently airing in Un-American locations (anything that's aired in Australia is fair game), as well as anything else the Un-Americans feel like talking about or we feel like asking them. Please use the show discussion threads for any current-season discussion.
Add yourself to the Buffista map while you're here by updating your profile.
btw ... as an Off-Topic aside; caught the live-action version of Crying Freeman the other night. Not too shabby at all. Not a great movie but a lot better than I you'd expect from a low budget flick. Not that I started watching it with any expectations, since I'd never heard of the original anime versions, so didn't even know it was a live action adaption.
ita would love it for the various scenes of Mark Dacascos in next to nothing. :)
There's Vampire Hunter D (though D is male) and Vampire Princess Miyu that I can think of off the top of my head, but it's been about 9 years since I was into Anime.
Don't worry, I'm quite willing to go on trying to convert them by the sheer force of my endless nattering about Buffy -- hunting the anime connection is purely for my own curiosity. Thanks, though.
heh ... well, it hasn't stopped me -- or his de-facto -- from endlessly nattering to him about the show. He's not looking forward to the new season starting, since he'll have stereo yammering about it. His missus on one side and me on the other. :)
Now I'm picturing a live-action Project A-Ko, only with AH, CC, and SMG as the protagonists....
Ow. Brain sprain.

Hello. Just popping in, all ininvited and all (which, at least, proves that I'm not a vampire) to say that I can't believe that you guys have been debating about naming the thread 'UnAmerican' when there is a much bigger title problem..
Did you know that the second installment of the LOTR movie is going to be called 'The Two Towers'? And that is just such a co-opting of a tragi.. .. t we interrupt this post to bring an update
Oh, well. Nevermind. t /Emily Littela

There are several anime series about high school students fighting vampires and other demons - but none so similar to BtVS that it would seem like a ripoff.
Tracing relatives back to the old country isn't exactly something that'd be encouraged among my people. The majority who went to the US did so because they had to, several escaping jail sentences or executions, and name changes were frequent. So whenever some tells some story about their great-grandfather being murdered in Ireland, I have to wonder if it was my great-grandfather who did it. And it odds a macabre sense to the phrase "Luck of the Irish."
Yeah, but you know, as long as it is far enough back, having dangerous criminals in your family history is cool. Not if the relative is living of course, but once the relative is safely dead, finding out he robbed travelers at the crossroads, or murdered soldiers on leave or such is a heck of a good story. I admit, a famous pirate, or romantic outlaw would be cooler. But a plain ordinary murderer or murderess, if far enough in the past, still adds spice to the familiy history.
True. And in Australia, convict ancestry is considered not only interesting, but socially prestigious.
