Hey, Answerman!

what's the flake saying, I can't understand their language! And google translator doesn't help. Some one please translate it into human language.

Hmm, I was wondering if anybody knew that they could actually try out a Naruto vs. Luffy match... by playing Battle Stadium D.O.N of course! Includes Goku as well.

Yay: (brightly-colored) ninjas (where's the stealth?) versus pirates (including one who can't swim)... versus space alien, uh... monkeys, somewhat derived from Chinese legend, and so on. It's like um, canned sausage, canned SPAM®, and canned sardines, all chopped up, mixed in a bowl and eaten with rice! (For the record, I actually eat it like that. Tastes good, IMO.)

Now, if they would only ever release this game here in the States...

A single episode of anime is worth exactly the expense it took to produce it. Whether the expenses be in animation, writing, music, or voice acting.

That's how much it's *worth*. Another question is, how much it should cost? The cost of the episode can be calculated like this: P should be equal to the amount of people who would like to see the episode and would pay it. The cost of the episode should be the worth divided by P.

Of course, every episode of anime has a different "per person cost"...could be 10, 5, 2, or 30 dollars, depending on how spectacularly done or niche it is. But it's important to point out what the cost is determined by: It's not determined by what "I" want to pay for it. It's determined by external factors, of studio expense and market appeal.

Hm... maybe I spoke slightly uneducated in the fact that I didn't really look into yaoi/yuri to see just what kind of content it portrayed, and for that I should apologize for throwing all the yaoi fans into the same stereotype. Though in my own defense, I wasn't really looking to read enough yaoi to form a solid basis... so let's call it a willing ignorance. Very Happy

I fear Satoshi Kon. It's why I haven't actually seen any of his movies. Just look at his picture I'm terrified that if I see one and don't like it, he will use his massive psychic powers to obliterate me from existence and don't say he wouldn't even know because he knows all.

The real question in the whole Eva vs. Lagann thing, is... Is Shinji in control of Unit-01?

No, scratch that, it's irrelevant. He can be overridden.

So with that established, I'm confident that Eva-01 would just eat it. Drill spikes and all. It'd eat it.

In fact, I daresay, there is nothing in the entire world of anime that Eva-01 could not eat, and thus defeat. Aside from perhaps things that wouldn't kill(Let's say, Alucard, uh, various other undead things that don't come to mind so quickly...).

So, I guess, the method for determining the victor in a fight between Eva-01 and anything is as follows:

Can it be killed by being eaten? If yes, Eva-01 wins.

If no, can Eva-01 beat it using its other abilities? If yes, Eva-01 wins.

If no, have you divided by zero? If yes, Batman wins.

(I just felt like being silly. Sue me.)

Ultimately, what an episode is worth is more or less down to the series. I'll gladly pay £1 - £2 ($2/4) per ep for a good series but you wouln't catch me dead paying much more than 50p ($1) per ep for a bad series and I probably wouldn't buy the whole thing. Case in point, I recently got the Azumanga Daioh UK boxset for £26 offa amazon making for £1 an ep (more or less, I'm slightly fudging for sake of simplicity) same deal with FMP.

Now, later on this month, I'll get Fummofu for £23 making for (again roughly) £1.50 an episode which I feel is stealing because FMP Fummofu is some of the best stuff out of KyoAni (I'd easily pay £3 for an episode).

Now, the FFU boxset is £40, that translastes to £1.50. But the thing is, it's downright repungent. Hence I woun't be willing to put down that sort of cash for it. That's two bottles of Ice Tea right there.
