how did you manage to slip into your computer and take the form of a 2 dimensional object? Please explain, this would help alot in some games

I still make MIDIs.
>>3518948
Me too. It's kind of sad that most people seem to consider them obsolete now. I see them as digital sheet music. It's a way of actually having the actual composition there, something that just an audio recording doesn't have.

Well thats a shame

Surely someone else remembers this shit. Funny fucking website.

if you like pornographic/offensive Rom hacks then baddesthacks.net is one of the most tightly knit internet communities ive ever seen.

Was Lamù ever released in English? I've seen it in Italian and French but never English.
>>3522790
The series was subbed by AnimEigo in the late 90s/early 2000s, and I believe they also cobbled together a dub of the first movie.
There's also that cheesy BBC dub for the first two episodes.
>>3522790
Some of it (mostly the movies, not sure if the series) were released on VHS back in the day, but I don't think the TV series was fully boardcasted on TV.
>>3522795
They also released Beautiful Dreamer (2nd movie)
holy shit
>>3523235
Beautiful Dreamer is considered by many to be one of the greatest anime films ever made. You ought to watch that one at least, but I recommend you watch the others too if you like Lum.
There are also a series of OVAs that were released during and after the production of the TV series.
>>3523242
>Timegal is just Lum mixed with dream hunter Rem
>>3523235
>those of us old enough to remember those decades grew up with Lamù and others.
Wasn't Lum, like, massively popular in Italy? I wonder why that was.
>>3523242
I'll look into finding an Italian dub to watch, thanks.
>>3523323
Not just Lamù/Lum, but lots of old Japanese cartoons are more popular in Italy than Nascar is among Appalachian inbreds.
It seems like we got damned near everything. Certainly more than most other countries, anyway. You could turn the TV on nearly any time of day and some Japanese cartoon or other would be on because we got things aimed to younger people as well as older, especially middle-aged women. My mother and all her friends were huge fans of Candy Candy, Georgie, Heidi and the Japanese cartoon version of The Sound of [fucking] Music. She didn't even mind that the entire story for Georgie was about Georgie wanting to incestuously fuck her brothers.
Little Pollon was particularly huge. The Italian language theme song for it could be seen as a de facto national anthem for us. Everyone between the ages of 20-40 or so knows the lyrics and you can find several videos online of Italians drunkenly singing it at bars.
>>3518529
I spent so much time here during my middle school years, glad to see they're still around.
>>3523242
wasn't beautiful dreamer derided by the original creator because it was done without their input and had some characters portrayed wrong?
also, Outlanders > Urusei Yatsura.

Sonic Cult's hentai section changed me.
>>3522873
Oh my God. I remember that guy. Also some dude who was a Chargin Chuck with a jester head.
>>3523452
>Sonic Cult's hentai section changed me.
haha, that's fun to hear, since it was literally the only section I updated back when I was an admin.
>>3523469
What was that like?
Also which Furry Bomb is best?
>>3523474
>What was that like?
I edited the html page and uploaded it to the ftp.
>Also which Furry Bomb is best?
the bomberman one.
>>3523474
>>3523483
oh and on that note, if you remember, there was this page called... I don't remember, tails.kicks-ass.net or something like that, then later moved to the domain xnicole.com. Some self hosted sonic site with warez and porn as I remember.
This is how their admins gmail looked like.
I spent my awful internet n00b phase on this site.

>Yahoo! Groups
That site was my next big step in porn hunting after I learned that there were options out there beyond blindly typing dirty words into Lycos search, I remember making a fake account and joining as many groups as I could
I checked in again once last year and surprisingly a lot of the groups I joined as a kid circa 2000-2001 still exist, any semblance of "community" they once had is all reduced to bots spamming ads for knockoff Viagra now though
>>3523617
>Were you also the one who posted that email telling off the Furry Bomb author who wanted you to take down his content from the site?
I'm pretty sure I wasn't since my email was never put on the site itself. However I did make a junk email account to ask the author if he was really quitting, and he sent over the cover art to one of the upcoming books - the one without the logo, only the character art. I'm pretty sure that I included those in the downloads on the site.
>>3523269
Lum probably inspired a shit ton of characters, vidya or otherwise.
>>3523387
Yeah Italy had a really good anime exposure during the 80s and 90s, I think other european countries also did, like Spain and France.
And let me tell you, italian opening themes are amazing.
>>3523437
This is what's usually said but I couldn't find an actual source where Takahashi says she doesn't like it. It's possible though, not because the characters aren't portrayed right (they are), but maybe because the overall tone of the movie is significantly different from the TV series and other movies. BD is a strictly Mamoru Oshii film, with lots of experimentation and oddities.

vgmusic and Mario Portal.
Zophar still exists, I'm surprised.
I remember that site mostly because that's where I got a lot of video game music in .spc format.
>>3523810
Zophar a brief few-year hiatus, but came back with a bang in like 201something.
>>3523713
Nah, bro. We (Italians) had an oddly close relationship with Japanese cartoons in the 70s, 80s and 90s that other countries just didn't come remotely close to.
France and Spain don't even come remotely close to the fanatical level to which we obsessed over Japanese cartoons in that time, just as no country comes remotely close to our collective Asperger's-like adoration for Scrooge McDuck, so much so that even Disney themselves acknowledge a separate, Italian "Duck universe" continuity separate from their own.
>there were even crossovers between "our universe" and the "canon universe"
But yeah, our themesongs are pretty great. The only one where I greatly preferred the original over ours is Lady Oscar. Our version was fucking terrible. I still hum/sing our Sailor Moon theme to myself from time to time.
>>3523569
Hasn't been for about ten-to-fifteen years or so, no. This coincides with the huge popularity now of food programmes and American dramatic television.
