i have two 120 gb. but there both full! i'm getting a 400 gb in a little while...

no anime is not dying, it's just become popular. the difference, however small, does exist.

anime is going mainstream and taking quality down to the poorly drawn levels the american public is used of. anime are coming out with no regaurd for keeping with the original styling and taste.

"ameri-me" ( anime styled american animation ) is being pumped out with horrible voice acting, low quality artwork, and marketed towards children.

drek. pure and simple. the frelling suits see that anime is becoming a cash cow and they churn out un-original, bland "cartoons" with japanese stylings then market them with cheesey japanese songs ( whoes authenticity i call into question, case in point; teen titans ) and try to hook kids too young and easily addictted to loud repettetive shows with little more than second grade dialog.

no anime isn't dying, nor is it dead. as long as the true otaku ( and devoutee alike ) can come together and admirre anime that deserves it, anime will very much stay alive.

more-over: nothing dies in japan! ( arcades are still popular over there after all... )

I've only gotten up to 458k. currently i max out at 43k.

i must admit that chibokko might be right, however, i would check into the nuku nuku series, chobits, or hand maid may, try doing a google image search for mecha and cat.

if you know where it's from, try contacting the author, they usually know where they've seen their subjects.

looking through a list of anime ( directories, anipke, animenation, et cetera... ) for cat-girl, mecha, or other related terms. i've found artists who have stopped drawing their old art, and recovered lost data ( via the way back machine ) from just a watermark in an image i've downloaded from Kazaa.

it may take a while but don't give-up, it took me two weeks to get all of skribblekid's old h-poll art.
