    Sounds very clear and understandable at least... but text to speech really hasn't come far in a practical way in the last 15 years or so.


    I hope at some point Vocaloid-like technology is combined with an AI system to give natural tonal inflection and delivery to words being read normally. It's entirely possible with current tech, someone just has to actually do it.

    Oh well, at least I can still stare at Misato. Second best female anime character ever - just short of Matoko Kusanagi.

    So I'm assuming this is some kind of Anime show it's being based on?


    Is it worth watching?


    Because the only Anime I ever liked was Cowboy Bebop. Everything else including Ghost in the Shell, Helsing, etc. I really didn't like too much.

    @Drogmir: yeah like @spookyxelectric: samurai Champloo is really good. And I'm like you, I enjoy anime, but shows that really click for me are very few and far in-between.


    You could also try Deathnote. That was excellent. I was so hooked on it when I started watching it, I watched the whole series in less than 3 days. It was that good.

    @Drogmir:

    @excel_excel:

    FMA is my favorite series yet. The characters are so human and the highs and lows are so extreme...


    If you like horror, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni is great - more of a suspense show really. By the end of the second season it really ties things together to be much more than the sum of its parts.


    Dennou Coil is also a great one that starts lighthearted then delves into mystery without getting too hung up on it.


    Evangelion... is really love it or hate it. I'd warn that it gets convoluted, and you will see the main characters sitting around feeling sorry for themselves for a LOT of the series. Everyone in that show is deeply depressed or disturbed... (penguins excepted :p)

    For me, this is really interesting. It's hard to find Japanese TV news in the States, so I would absolutely buy something like this. It's certainly different, and a way for me to get involved in Japanese culture, and practice my Japanese. When your not there, immersion can be difficult. This is just another tool I can use. It's ８００円、which is cheap--I just need to order another JPN PSN card.


    It funny how everyone is cracking on this, but I'm proof that there are people who will buy this, and it seems like it will prove useful in some way. Just because you don't "get it" doesn't mean others don't. :)
