1  The Honky Tonk Lounge / Getbackers Manga Discussion / Re: GB 1st, 2nd, 3rd futures?? on: November 17, 2011, 02:11:12 am
Well, we shouldnt forget why the archiver, as a cartesian and linear entity, fears chaos and entropy. So this third future without any soso ruler, deprived of logic walls and full of entropy is out of its understanding...which in a way is a flaw in GB scenario because Artificial Intelligence couldnt be afraid of chaos and entropy which are part always part of reality. It s a common error to describe an artificial intelligence in a so simplistic way like "digits are linear so an AI is linear". It s an aberration and happily real research in AI doesnt share that childish point of view.
2  The Honky Tonk Lounge / Getbackers Manga Discussion / Re: What is the Raitei? on: November 17, 2011, 02:03:40 am
The Raitei has also a metaphorical status in this manga.

[spoiler]In a way it crystalizes the sorrow of a mother for her passed son, her despair making her recreating him in an archive, so this character is also deeply rooted with feelings that oppose the rigorousness of the archiver s work, a commoon duality in teeny litterature[/spoiler]
3  The Honky Tonk Lounge / Getbackers Manga Discussion / belt line & babylon city on: October 10, 2010, 02:32:29 pm
i m a lil confused...

attention, may contain spoiler (lil one)

der kaiser is the ruler of the belt line, ok, but where is the limit between belt line and babylon city?
after reading trad and raw mangas till the end, i still dont get it...

is babylon city a part of infinite fortress or is it the "other" world?

if it s part of infinite fortress, i dont understand the difference between beltline and babylon city...
if it s the "other" world, i dont understand why everybody wanna go there cause to be "the master of creation", they still have to meet the agreement of certain residents of babylon city...so what s all the ruffus about it till the beginning??
i dont get it (though, some parts still have no english translation)...
4  The Honky Tonk Lounge / General Anime Discussion / Re: What was the latest anime you completed/watched? on: October 10, 2010, 05:49:47 am
the last anime i saw was the 7th episodes of Hellsing ultimate

at least it s far more good than the previous hellsing anime series and i m looking forward to the other episodes (more so like OAV due to the very good quality and the looooong time each episode need to be released T_T)

bonjour et bienvenue
12  The Honky Tonk Lounge / Comics / Marvels on: October 09, 2010, 06:45:36 pm
have u heard of or read Marvels, by Alex Ross?
the drawing and painting quality is very very good, even incredible, very realistic with a huge work on lights, persp and point of views.
this comic "marvels" revisit the marvel history in the eyes of a powerless human working as a news photographer specialised in super heroes.
it s worth reading

here s alex ross works (worth a look too): http://www.alexrossart.com/
