how do you submit things to the site?
see, i'm new here, and i made a 5minute version of "Nausicaa" by hayo miazaki (and am working on other stuffs), and i was wondering how to submit things. if this is the wrong forum, please tell me.

You e-mail Zeke. We don't have Five-Minute Anime yet, but if we ever do, I want Kiki's Delivery Service. Spirited Away would also be nice, but I WANT Kiki.
However, I'm not sure if Miyazaki counts as "science fiction," per se. It seems to be squarely in the realm of fantasy, but we have been known to bend the rules on occasion. Oh, and anything related to "official" fivers (as opposed to fanvers or altvers), belongs in this section of the forum. You were right in that case. |
I would also reccomend reading the <a href="http://www.fiveminute.net/about/submissions.html">Submissions FAQ</a>, but it pretty much boils down to: email <a href="mailto:zeke_att_fiveminute_dott_net">Zeke</a>.
Welcome to 5M.Net, by the way. I hope you enjoy it here. |
Hmm, interesting. Between this, GreenFire's MegaMan NT Warrior fivers, and the fact that I've watched about 20 entire anime in the last six months, we could have the beginning of a new section here. (I also remember someone wanting to do Akira, though I've forgotten who.)
Anyway, Nate and Tate are rate... uh, right. Email me the fiver and I'll be happy to take a look. I don't promise any particular timeframe, however. I'm way behind on more than just guest fivers. And yes, welcome to the forums. |
Yes, one step at a time.

I think Nausicaa at least really does qualify as sci-fi, i.e. set in the future, weird air ships, etc. Kiki's doesn't, but I'd like to see a fiver of that too.
|
Hah, I just noticed your name, Dragonrider! Pern, or other?

Yeah, I know Kiki isn't scifi, but if we bend the rules a bit for Angel and the OC, why not Miyazaki?
I have a particular fondness for Kiki because it was my first introduction both to Miyazaki and "serious anime." Pokemon, Digimon, Cardcaptors, etc. aren't really "serious anime." Actually, I suggested the idea of Five-Minute Trigun to Zeke awhile back, at least that one IS scifi. |

But Five Minute Anime sounds fun. My sister and I have discussed the possiblity of fiving Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz. And I might like to try a few episodes of NT Warrior myself. |
I forgot about Lord of the Rings. I suppose eventually we'll just be fiving everything under the sun, won't we? I mean, there's only so much Trek out there to five.
I'd suggest that we put the kibosh on episodic anime, if only so we don't get bogged down by series that go on for hundreds of episodes. With the provision that short animes are allowed, like (cough) Trigun, of course. |
It's not like there's any shortage of those. Let's see... Fate/Stay Night, Simoun, Haruhi Suzumiya, Mai-HiME, Mai-Otome, Death Note, ROD the TV, RahXephon, Trigun, Ai Yori Aoshi, Najica Blitz Tactics, Midori no Hibi, Mezzo DSA, Pani Poni Dash!, Mahoromatic, Kannazuki no Miko, Excel Saga, MegaMan Star Force, Grenadier, and the almighty Azumanga Daioh all fall short of 50 episodes, and that's just considering shows I've seen.
A bigger problem is that these things are only half an hour long. Comics have a similar problem: one issue per fiver or several? I guess it all depends on the particular material. Modern "decompressed" comics have much less story; if I ever tackle Warren Ellis's craptacular "Extremis" story in Iron Man, for instance, that'll surely be just one fiver. |
So since I don't watch anime, it's okay to think he was referring to some Trek novel about the Nausicaans initially, right? Because I don't read Trek novels either.

The beauty of it is that the Nausicaans were named after that particular anime character. (In turn, she's named after the Nausicaa of Greek myth.) There were a bunch of anime fans behind the scenes at TNG, and they snuck in various references. This is documented in the Next Generation Companion; that's how I knew about anime before it went big.
And hey, it's evay! Good to see you. |
also, i reserve "princess mononke" for me!
i mean, think of the posibilities! (ji-san: ahhh! an evil noodlebeast of doom! demon: im a DEMON!) |

(just kidding) anyway, don't you have to, like, wait 'till i die or something? (b-5 references! ye-haw!) |

Would you mind letting me take a look at Nausicaa? I really am very curious, and perhaps I could offer you a few ideas as far as the editing is concerned. |
Well, if Alkira gets Mononoke, then I get Kiki. It's only fair. :)
As for the Extremis storyline, I actually thought it wasn't THAT bad. Certainly no worse than going thirtysomething years of saying Spider-Man's powers are science-based, only to go all mystic-totemy now. Or saying over and over again that Logan's past was to remain a mystery, only to say "psych! His name's really James Howlett!" Grr... |

Yeah, Logan AKA Wolverine AKA Weapon X.

How come that soul thing never works? :(
I must definitely five a Ghibli film someday, but I'm not sure which. Howl, maybe, or Laputa. |

But I'll grant that Spider-Man in the JMS era has had it worse. Even before "The Other", Marvel decided he needed organic webshooters -- a dumb decision made to align with other dumb decisions. Then JMS did "Sins Past", the ill-conceived story that launched a thousand flamewars. Then "The Other" did its damnedest to top the Clone Saga for worst Spider-Man story ever, changing his powers and finishing the continuity hash JMS had started earlier. And finally Spidey's part in Civil War, which was a lot more interesting but way too predictable -- except the identity revelation, and the jury's still out on whether that'll be Peter's rejuvenation or ruination as a character. Of course, JMS is a very skilled writer; he's made all this readable and even fun sometimes. But good execution can only do so much for bad ideas. (See "A Night in Sickbay".) I'm actually even more annoyed about his Fantastic Four retcon, where Reed is now partly responsible for the team's origin and, oh yeah, the creation of the universe. Peter David, for all the problems I have with him, has been Spidey's salvation during this time, telling funny and entertaining stories over in FNSM. These days you have to read the surrounding titles to have fun; the big ones drown in events and celebrity writers. |
Ahh... guest fivers... I remember submitting one of those once... ;)
|
Was that before or after the ice age before last? ;)
