Of course we see them both.
The FD struck my eye first though. Those taillights are unique and the best feature of the car.

Btw, which anime was it?

LOL, I like the use of identifiable vehicles in this, as opposed to most North American style cartoons...

RX7, RX8, MX3, Skyline/G35? And it looks to be a Nissan Cube in front of the RX8 lol.

LOL at the waving pic... to me is the other way around. When I drive my FD I wave at any other rotary car around and all wave back except for RX-8 owners...

Episode 7, 13:20 They're in a rest stop tracking some terrorist who's switching car's and the terrorist make a run for it in a white RX-8 while pelting Togusa with machine gun fire.

Did you also know there's a shot of a firefly class transport in battlestar galactica? Watch the windows in the scene where Roselin finds out she has cancer.

Is that an 8? it's hard to tell at first.


But then you hear the scream of a rotary engine and it goes around a corner.

Please explain the plot to me in that fuggin anime. I almost went deaf and blind trying to understand it. I'm all about intelligent anime's, but I also require pointless fireballs and powering up.

EDIT: Damn...i quickly realized how sad this thread became. I only hope that my posts won't be read by the tremendously fantastic women of the Hot Chicks thread. Unless however they like tentacles...

The short version is that it's a detective story.
The long version is it asks the question, what does it mean to be human if memories can be fabricated, and manufactured systems can replace all the major parts of the body including large portions of the brain? If consciousness is the result of a set of measurable elecrochemical reactions in the brain rather then being something as ineffable as a soul... well, it poses all sorts of interesting moral, ethical, and philosophical questions, especially when your servant robots run on exactly the same hardware as your full replacement cyborg "humans"

You might want to study up on your philosophy, Shirow is ALL about transhumanism.

As far as the spoiler version, well you'll have to PM me for my thoughts about the laughing man.
