This thread is too intellectual for me

2 hepar: Росси и правда чуток не в тему. =)))

Thanks. I apologize for confusion.

2 Int 29Ah: Вы уверены?
Я подумал вы могли переговорить английские!

2 Sergio:
What I meant was "Rossi is a slightly incorrect example. =)))", if you're curious. =)))

Let's be honest: this entire forum is intellectualized, even because Kishiro's readers are not supposed to be at the same level of Naruto's, for example, and once we are a sort of élite…

And you have seemed perfectly in the mood to me, to say the least!

Its dangerous to consider ourselves elite which will cause too much of a superiority complex/secret society stuff, but!

Nothing wrong with alittle danger

But true we're on a different level of intellect than the mainstream anime/manga fanatics since we've already been talking about quantum theory in a different thread and scouring the net for the infomation to enlighten us of why it is such.

Kishiro is such a twist, but awsome person.

Hell yes, this is BUSINESS Jump level. And now I will post some Russian...

Totally agree, even phylosophy and world art are discussed here.

That was to show the whole different culture of Russland that was created not only by rutenians. Why not?
You won't say that Pushkin's grandfather is not worth to be mentioned because he was black. Or Ectherine the Second, because she was from germany? Or georgian Stalin, or viking Ryurik et cetera.

You can see the same in history of every country.

Lol. Wa wuz dat? A mad-russin-scientist's fighting combo name?

I think, he meant "Будь проклят второй закон термодинамики!" (Curse it, second law of thermodynamics!), but mistranslated.

Ok, back to the influence. YK could be affected by a Russian-American (yes, again!) scientist, professor Bolonkin, who is working in NASA now. More particular, his theory. Who knows.

Brainchip idea may be his, he develops it really hard. =)))

No, I think Kishiro invented brainchips accidently. Like follows:
"What is cyborg?" - "A mashine with brain" and "What is robot?" - "A mashine with AI" ....... "Ah~ Gotta pee" <... minute later ...> "ZOMFG! If Human is a biomashine with body and brain, what would it be like, if there would be people with human bodies but chips in their sculls"?!!! .... "Oh, crap, now i need to clean it up now "

Completely wrong, I daresay.

At the beginning of Vilmas story, the glimpse of the statue of liberty frozen in the ice, she looks like in "Planet of the Apes":


That pose is so well-known, I think we can assume that its a clear reference.

I think, more clear reference is "The day after tomorrow".

By the way... "The city with a big arch" in v8, which city is it? I've seen this thing in lots of movies, but there was no mention about a name of a city. Googling also gave nothing.

It's the "gateway arch" in St Louis.
You can also see the Millennium Hotel
And it's a big chance that Arthur and the other survivors lives in Scott Air Force Base.

Under such harsh circumstances like an atomic war or a icy super-hurricane or a meteor impact followed by icy super-hurricanes, something like the the statue of liberty would break up like straw. When someone places that lady in a picture, its a sign just for the show, and someone invented that sign.
Dust in the atmosphere (after a meteor strike) automatically leads to a winter, besides, the statue is askew, not straight in the sky. Meh, maybe its a mix of POTA and TDAT.

Judging from a picture of POTA given (I haven't seen the movie), statue is not skewed, it's mostly perpendicular to the ground. I think, statue's skew is YK's thing. Hovewer, in this case TDAT is closer, it's cold and snowy there. Also, notice the direction of icycles.

Int 29Ah wrote:I think, more clear reference is "The day after tomorrow".

1. Your images are not visible.
2. Indiferently, unless I am mistaken, GLO came BEFORE that film. Nevertheless, I do not believe Kishiro youl quote a third class movie. Calilon is right. He would certainly prefer a classic, both in narrative and in script.

Int 29Ah wrote:Judging from a picture of POTA given (I haven't seen the movie), statue is not skewed.

I have seen the movie. More than once.
The statue IS skewed, certainly, and although there is some time I saw the movie, I can say this from the image:



The ground is NOT seen from a straight line. If you consider that, the statue IS screwed.

Fck, IMDB is blocking multiple referrals on image, so it is shown only for me from my cache. o_0

Those images from other servers:

http://hq-films.ws/torrents/images/2900.jpg

It's skewed in the backwards direction. In LO it was skewed forward. =)))

TDAT is dated 2004, so, I think, v8 came 1-2 years after it, but, YK started devising the idea right at time it aired, so, It can be a TDAT statue, just rotated 45 degrees forward.

Also, I repeat, notice the direction of icycles on TDAT posters and in GLOv8.

Yesterday I watched "Rollerball" on TV, it could be the inspiration for Motorball, what do you think? Of course, Kishiro added and changed very much, its only a slight resemblance: one ball, teams, brutal, one winner and often only one survivor, too.

Certainly, rollerball inspired motorball. It is much more than a simple coincidence.
Just a question: have you seen Norman Jewison's or John McTiernan's?
I have not seen the second simply because I hate remakes.
Remaking a masterpiece sounds to me like someone trying to rewrite the gospels. Heresy, simply!
