I used to donate to Mene every month for so long, and now I finally have to accept that I can't afford it anymore. :/ Getting items was nice, even though they were just virtual, but the main thing was to support Mene. I used to be on Gaia, ended up hating it, never had any friends on there, tried a couple of other sites (Zantarni, Solia and a couple more I can't remember) before deciding Mene was the only place I really wanted to stick around on.

@ ljosberinn::
I feel the same way. Menewsha is the only site where I've felt truly at home. I'm a "Native Menewshan", as it was the first avi site I ever considered joining. Gaia was never something I was interested in. I've tried other sites, but... I just don't like them as much. :/

I've never been able to donate, unfortunately. :(

Mmm, some months it is hard to donate, I agree. It's something I kind of ... tricked myself into budgeting though? My phone bill is 45$ every month ... so in my budget I rounded it up to 50$ (which includes the 5$ for CI donation).... Oh. I'm a tricky one.

If I didn't do that I don't think I'd be able to donate every month.

@BC - That really is quite tricky of you. I don't think, where I am in finances currently, I could deal with even tricking myself. Sometimes, gas for Aggie (my car) is just too important to me...

Anywho, how is everyone this very fine day?

I haven't watched anime in so long. The last anime I watched was D.N.Angel. Watched it a few weeks ago on DVD.

and that's like comparing apples and oranges dear. It's like saying books are better than movies. Different media is not comparable, neither is media from different countries.

There is a U.K. version of Law And Order. The guy has to wear a wig, and a dress. I could say that makes it lame, but it's not really valid since it's from another country. lol.

I don't think that's true. Media from different markets is comparable, especially remakes. Since the American version is derived from the BBC original it's natural to compare the two; the American version especially opened themselves up for comparison when they made the choice to have similarly typed actors, wardrobe, set and to make no major plot or character changes. Additionally, I vaguely recall you comparing anime with American cartoons and finding them lacking. It's alright to compare similar media of different markets in that case but not in this one? (Also your example in the case of Law and Order references cultural differences that can't necessarily be factored into comparisons without taking into account cultural bias. We may think it makes them look lame, from a British perspective it could make them seem official. I agree that's not something to judge on. Actual merit of the show however, is).

TL;DR version: Agree to Disagree

Regardless, I wasn't trying to offend you, my honest opinion is that the small tweaks the American version did robbed the show of what was so unique and kind of ... charmingly eccentric about the show. Anyone who likes the American version should try the BBC version, because they might find they like it even more.

Night all! I'm so tired. Homework. Blerg.
