    Donno what it's for. It's an EU code, though.

    If you got it, please post to say so.

    That entire line of software is dedicated to editing videos. They're all good, so read up on each version and pick the cheapest one with that has all the features you want. Also, you might want to buy WinRAR while you're spending money on things that 90% of the userbase doesn't pay for.

    First, they're proper novels, not just manga. There is a manga that was adapted from the first book, though.

    As for the anime, it was originally broadcast out of chronological order in Japan, making it seem more like a collection of short stories. The dub is in order. In total, the anime adapts the entire stories of the first and second books, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and The Sigh, as well as all of the short stories in Boredom (Book 3)and three out of four of the short stories in The Rampage (Book 5). The movie is an adaptation of the fourth book, The Disappearance. Right now there are 10 novels total with the 10th split into two volumes for the Japanese release but combined in the English release.

    So as far as it being a collection of short stories, it is and isn't. Some of the books are full novels, but the others are collections of short stories that all take place in the same time period. Out of the ten books, the anime and movie adapt three of the full novels and 1.75 of the short story collections. In total, there are six full novels and four collections of short stories.

    In terms of execution, the anime is mostly the same, but there are a couple of minor changes. The first that you'll see is that at the end of the first season is a story that Tanigawa wrote exclusively for the anime. It's a great episode. Some say it's a little boring, but it was written just to show a completely normal day in the life of the SOS Brigade, so that was kind of the point. The other is that Endless Eight is 8 whole episodes, 6 of which are mostly exactly the same. There was only one of the original short story.

    The anime is pretty good, but it's really short and watching it in the order it was intended can be pretty confusing. Endless Eight was the only story that I thought they adapted badly and that's only because it tells the story of several iterations of the same summer vacation rather than just the last one like in the book.

    Long story short, the anime is great, but I'd suggest reading the books if you want to get back into it. They're way better and if you like them, there's a lot more of them than the anime.

    Just from looking at the screencaps here, the obvious reason is that the anime for Gen 4 and 5 had a more "flat" animation style. You can tell that Dawn and Iris have breasts too if you look closely, but the animation isn't shaded as well, so it's harder to actually see them. As for the Misty, I assume she was designed to look as young as Ash, while the others were supposed to look mature compared to him. Even Dawn, who was very inexperienced compared to Ash, ended up being having a more mature personality than him.

    I'm still mad that they just added a 2 instead of doing something with the numeral 3. They could have done a quartet of games with backwards numberplay. Left 2 Die could have been the third game, the second would have a 3 pun, and the last would be something like Last 1 Left or something . I donno. All I know is that Left 2 Die would make a great name for the third game.

    True, but it works coming from Haruhi. I don't know if you've read the books or not, but her entire character revolves around the fact that she is exactly as subtle as a brick to the face and although she's had a lot of character development since the anime left off, that part hasn't changed one bit. The fact that any worthwhile quotes of hers are big and unwieldy just feels like an extension of that.

    But you're the one who assumed that I was being aggressive. I was making of sarcastic to show where you misinterpreted my comment.

    Would you mind cutting this part of your argument? I think I see why it's relevant and the point you're trying to make with it, but it's coming off like you're using it to redirect the conversation toward dealing with annoying behaviors rather than what I'm trying to say about how other people react when being asked to discontinue their annoying behaviors.

    Like I said, that particular part of my annoyance has to do with the way e-smokers that I encounter handle it when I politely ask them to stop. They could just say, "Sorry, I'd rather not stop," and I'd be fine with that because I'm the same way and believe in treating others how you would like to be treated. I sing in public all the time and when people ask me to stop, I politely tell them that I won't and in the process apologize for (a) annoying them and (b) refusing to stop. Is that better or worse than talking their ear off about how they shouldn't have asked me to stop because singing in public isn't affecting anything apart from, in your words, the thoughts it evokes like being offended?

    "It's natural to want to know more about something you're interested in. Doesn't matter what, just having the wisdom to stick your chest out and say proudly, 'This is my obsession!' is the important thing. Got that?"

    Today I learned that saying, "Hey, would you mind putting that away? It's making me uncomfortable," is exactly the same as going, "HEY, STOP THAT! SOME OF US LIKE TO BREATHE, YOU E-SMOKING DIRTBAG!"

    Like I said, I was exaggerating. My problem with that particular aspect of e-cigarettes isn't with people refusing to stop, it's with the fact that instead of just saying, "Sorry, no," they decide that they have to defend the fact that they won't stop by teaching me about all the reasons why what they're doing shouldn't bother me. Suppose I were to poke you once every five minutes. You would probably get annoyed and ask me to stop, right? I can do one of three things. The first is simple. I can apologize and stop. The second is also simple. I can continue poking you, but apologize for my refusal to stop. Besides those two choices, I can also continue to poke you while also lecturing you about why being poked one time every five minutes isn't such a big deal and that you should just get over it because I'm not really doing anything that's hurting you. Tell me, which of the latter two choices would you prefer?

    Yes, but there's one major difference. I can ignore most of the "bad stuff" because it doesn't really have any tangible presence. I cannot ignore tobacco smoke because the smell is strong enough that I always smell it when I'm outside. Is that bad logic? Probably. Is it a good reason to prefer that people not smoke in open air? Even if it isn't, there's no way that you'll convince someone as selfish and closed minded as I am otherwise.

    Actually, neither guns nor people kill people. Heart failure kills people. Bullets from guns fired by people have been known to cause heart failure, though.

    Fact: Nicotine is the only thing that people breathe in when they smoke. There are absolutely no other chemicals in a cigarette, especially not ones that could kill you

    So what you're saying is that because it's not bad for me, that makes it okay for people to ? As I said earlier, I am well aware that it's not bad for me. That doesn't mean that I have no reason to find it annoying. The only difference may be that it's visible, but it's still impolite for an e-smoker to say, "FUCK YOU, IT'S JUST VAPOUR."*

    *Exaggerated to compensate for the fact that you probably expected me to exaggerate in the first place.

    I live in a city where I can't go on a simple bike ride without having to breathe second hand smoke the whole time. Maybe it's not as bad for me as if I were actually smoking, but shouldn't I at least be able to do something good for my body without having to expose it to something bad?

    Also, it's way too easy to misspell cigarette. It's nearly impossible for me to type it without going "cigarrete" the first time. Why can't we just call them fags like in the olden days?
