Gone in Sixty Seconds/驚天動地60秒的音效

電影:驚天動地60秒

Gone in Sixty Seconds, a 2000 action film, starring Nicolas Cage, directed by Dominic Sena, was shot in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

在過年期間,衛視電影台不斷強力播送由Nicolas Cage (尼可拉斯凱吉)主演的電影Gone in Sixty Seconds (驚天動地60秒),這部電影是描寫一位已金盆洗手的偷車高手,在受逼迫的情況下重操舊業,必需要在3天內,偷到所指定的50部車。這部電影其實是重拍1974年的同名電影,劇情內容感覺起來是普普通通,而且我在高中的時候看過許多次,但是這次重新觀賞,讓我想起電影中其中一段音效.......





在這類電影總少不了警匪追逐的場景,在其中一次由安潔莉娜裘莉和 Nicolas Cage出馬的偷車行動中,不料兩人的行蹤已受警方掌控,就在 Nicolas Cage準備下手的瞬間,他發覺情況不對,隨即抽身落跑,同時警方也馬上展開追擊,安潔莉娜裘莉駕車機靈的擺脫警方,雖然說她擺脫方式很老套,不過今天不是要討論這個,而是在這段場景中所出現的音效。

上面的影片是從電影當中節錄下來的,在此片段中的第3秒,視角是從警車內向前拍攝,此時警車正在追蹤安潔莉娜裘莉和 Nicolas Cage的休旅車,同時車內警用無線電傳出一段談話聲,第一次聽到時,我就感到非常耳熟,大家可以再重新播放幾次,我相信有一部分的人,應該也有相同的看法吧。

原因就是........這根本就是PC game "Sim City 4" 中警察局的音效檔嘛,如果你忘記了,沒關係,我特地重新安裝Sim City 4,有玩過這款PC game的人可以看看下面的片段。

David Ortiz 514ft. home run at Tokyo Dome Video


↑The video clip.

波士頓紅襪老爹 David Ortiz在2004的日米交流戰打出514英呎超大號全壘打,苦主是渡邊俊介 Watanabe,最衰的是,被Ortiz夯出這麼大支的就算了,最後還被美國的新聞主播調侃一番。
Novermber 7, 2004
From Major League stars tour Japan, Red Sox world series start David Ortiz hit a world series home run. Listen to the crowd, you don't even see this thing land. Had to have the replay to find this thing at the top of the Tokyo Dome. Measured at 514 feet for David Ortiz. He led the Major league stars to a 5-3 win. And look at this guy's face. It says it all.

Newly updated ---March 22, 2008
David Ortiz hit a solo home run again in Tokyo Dome, Japan during the exhibition match against Hanshin Tigers. And this homer was followed by J.D. Drew's three-run home run in the same inning from Hanshin Tigers' pitcher Yuya Ando (安藤 優也). At the end of this game, Boston Red Sox clinched a 6-5 win over the Hanshin Tigers.

珍珠美人魚



珍珠美人魚(是真珠美人魚才對)應該是個適合全家觀賞的卡通才是

不過這個片段看了很多次,總是覺得怪怪的,
(行家應該都看得懂)

我想可能是作者接了太多case而使得劇情有些錯亂吧。

南方公園玩WOW

南方公園玩WOW (World of Warcraft)

這是卡通南方公園 (South Park)

我忘了是第九季還是第十季的其中某一集

這集沒有在台灣播出,字幕是由熱心的網友打上去的

有玩過魔獸世界一定要看

看過別人玩魔獸世界也一定要看

沒玩過魔獸世界的也可以看 @@"

因為真的很好笑 害我昨天在床閉上眼睛還笑不停


上集

下集


字幕翻譯得不錯 相信是繼7788之後又一經典之作

影片簡介:
提供字幕:巴哈版友teddyboy
影片轉檔:巨龍之喉 哈特曼
故事簡介:巴哈版友Boogieman

我大概介紹一下劇情好了
原來南方公園中的四位主角都有在玩魔獸世界(World of Warcraft)
有一天,他們四人相約去打怪時,遇到了一個等級超高的玩家,
這個玩家能夠不開PK模式的情況下,直接攻擊其他線上玩家,
而且那位玩家還有能力給你秒殺,讓他們四個連反擊的機會都沒有
在他們四位發現了這個bug之後
就打電話給客服反應有這號人物
結束因為這個玩家的等級實在太高,就連遊戲公司高層都無法對付這個殺人魔
而且很有可能這個殺人魔會殺光所有在World of Warcraft上的玩家
帶來WOW的末日

後來他們四個召集了所有班上的同學
想要來個絕地大反攻,但結果無功而返
結果還是被這個神級的殺人魔全KO了,
在這場戰役之後他們依然不肯放棄,
繼續躲在樹林內苦練,終於練到能夠和那個殺人魔一拼的程度
再加上得到來自遊戲公司的相助,終於打敗了這個殺人魔

教你如何抓棒球



到現場看棒球比賽,就是撿不到界外球嗎?

影片中的主角教你如何從MLB全場4,5萬球迷中撿球



他宣稱他已經在球場上撿到接近3000顆球 他離上一次沒撿到球是在454場之前

他透漏了幾個訣竅

第一 一定要有棒球手套

第二 看球時,選靠走道的位置

第三 要準備主客兩隊的球帽,頭上永遠戴著防守方的球帽,這樣球員把球丟給你的機率比較大

第四 要會多國語言,這樣才能跟球員要球

在3:37時,他宣稱能用27種語言跟球員要球 就連外語系的我都自嘆不如阿

他用西班牙 日語 韓語 義大利語 俄語 土耳其語 德語 希伯來語示範


甚至還有手語,因為真的有聽障球員

不過他現在應該趕快去學中文

Juninho

以下兩個影片內容重複率很高,除非時間太多,否則擇一觀賞即可。









以上兩個影片內容重複率很高,除非時間太多,否則擇一觀賞即可。
一直以來總覺得用自由球破門比其他得分方式更賞心悅目,所以介紹我甲意的Juninho

影片中的自由球高手就是目前效力法甲里昂巴西籍場 Junihno。

自從貝克漢的自由球鳥掉之後,已經許久沒有出現這麼精準的自由球了,由於台灣沒有播法國聯賽,不過幸好里昂近年的成績不錯,可以從歐洲冠軍杯的轉播中一睹風採。

尤其上個賽季的歐洲冠軍杯(2005-2006),在與皇家馬德里同一組的F小組裡,首場比賽里昂就以3-0幹掉皇馬,Juninho以兩個定位

球重創馬德里大門,一個是助攻給Carew,第二個是自由球直接入網。
之後力壓皇馬取得小組首位晉級,16強賽面對 PSV第一場比賽也是依靠自由球1-0獲勝,整個系列下來給里昂對手強大的壓力,對 方的防守球員幾乎不敢在禁區外圍犯規,如果沒有記錯,他的自由球命中率有超過50%,在影片中也看到,跟貝克漢相比,

Juninho有更強的侵略性,繼承巴西人的傳統他盤球能力在絕對能給後衛極大的困擾,貝克漢的盤球實在令我不忍卒睹阿(雖然到皇馬之後有進步,不過還是相當遭)。要比外表的話,Juninho也不會輸給貝克漢姆吧。

如果沒有變數的話,Juninho到2008年之前都會呆在里昂。

I'm Canadian

一般人的印象中,加拿大可能只是美國的附庸。

在國際議題上加拿大是美國的基本盤,兩國之間有世界上最長的不設防邊境,加拿大也陪著美國到阿富汗四處轟炸。

其實兩國直到並不是一直這麼友好,1812年英美之戰(加拿大直到1867年才從英國取得自治權,這場戰爭是由英國駐加拿大軍隊執行)是美國建國以來第一次對外戰役,雖然英國有訓練精良的正規部隊,但是當時在歐陸忙著對付拿破崙,所以也沒有幹掉美國,唯一的收穫是把整個華盛頓特區包括白宮在內燒的精光。

近年來,美國讓加拿大人感到頗不爽的,所以加拿大啤酒也做出這種廣告

 


以下中文解說由puppying (@ptt) 提供,感謝!

(clears throat)

Hey.

I'm not a lumberjack,

or a fur trader...

and I don't live in an igloo

or eat blubber, or own a dogsled...

我不是伐木工或賣毛皮的,

而且我不住在愛斯基摩人的冰屋, 不吃鯨脂, 也沒有狗雪橇

(以上是美國人對加拿大人的刻板印象)

and I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada,

although I'm certain they're really, really nice.

我不認識從加拿大來的Jimmy, Sally 或Suzy
雖然我確定他們人一定都很好

(美國人喜歡嘲笑加拿大人口很少, 所以每當聽到有人從加拿大來的,
就會問Do you know Jimmy?)

I have a Prime Minister,

not a President.

I speak English and French,

NOT American.

我們有的是首相, 不是總統
我說的是英語和法語, 不是美語

and I pronouce it ABOUT,

NOT A BOOT.

而且我念的是about , 不是a boot

(加拿大人說的about, 有的美國人聽起來會像a boot, 所以常故意裝傻聽錯)

I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack.

我可以很驕傲的把國旗縫在背包上

(出國旅遊時, 因為美國人得罪的國家不少
隨便放國旗容易被打)

I believe in peace keeping, NOT policing.

我相信和平, 而不是管制 (美國人喜歡當世界警察)

DIVERSITY, NOT assimilation,

相信多元性, 而不是同化

(加拿大人對這方面很驕傲, 他們認為所有移民到加拿大的人,
都能夠保持他們自己祖國的文化, 讓加拿大的文化更多元,
而所有移民美國的人, 最後都被同化成美國人)


AND THAT THE BEAVER IS A TRULY PROUD AND NOBLE ANIMAL.

而且海狸真的是種榮耀而且高貴的動物

(海狸是代表加拿大的動物, 就像老鷹代表美國一樣
美國人喜歡嘲笑海狸太可愛, 沒有一個國家該有的威嚴)

A TOQUE IS A HAT,

A CHESTERFIELD IS A COUCH,

toque 是一種帽子, chesterfield 是一種沙發

(基本上就是加拿大特有的講法)

AND IT IS PRONOUCED 'ZED' NOT 'ZEE', 'ZED'!

還有字母Z 是念成/zed/ , 不是/zi/ ....

(英國跟加拿大都把字母Z 念成/zed/, 台灣都教美語, 所以念/zi/)

CANADA IS THE SECOND LARGEST LANDMASS!

加拿大的領土是世界第二大

THE FIRST NATION OF HOCKEY!

第一的冰上曲棍球國家

(冰上曲棍球是加拿大人最狂熱的運動,
這裡的第一不知道是指時間上的第一, 還是實力上的第一)

AND THE BEST PART OF NORTH AMERICA!

而且加拿大是北美洲最讚的部份

MY NAME IS JOE!

我的名字是Joe

AND I AM CANADIAN!

而且我是加拿大人 (該廠牌啤酒就叫Canadian)

整個廣告的大意就是...

身為加拿大人就該買加拿大啤酒, 不要跟他們美國人喝一樣的

Mitsubishi Global Lancer 廣告

三菱汽車 Mitsubishi Global Lancer 廣告片段

中華汽車-三菱GLOBAL Lancer-設計的感動



在我高三時一天大概只能看30分鐘的電視,也是一天當中唯一的娛樂

而我每天必看的就是ESPN在午夜重播的世界體育中心,

三菱汽車的廣告總是出現在每節廣告時間中的第一位

加上長達一分鐘比其他廣告要長許多,所以讓我留下深刻的印象

畫面和音樂我覺得相當搭配,而且很符合我每天午夜十二點那時收看的心情

讓人感覺很放鬆很好入眠

不清楚這個廣告何時結束,但也陪我度過不短的高三時光。

中華電信 HiPage電子電話簿 幫幫我



這個廣告大概是2004年時出現的,當時中華電信正把大家平常用的電話簿數位化

廣告風格很年輕,男女主角都很好看,為廣告加了不少分數。

Michael Garcia 統一 凱撒/味全 賈西

棒球
凱撒/賈西 首度亮相



這個老影片是職棒七年的開幕戰,由味全對上時報鷹,打者正是鷹隊萬年開路先鋒曾貴章,相信老棒球球迷一定對這位開路先鋒有印象,除了安打產量高(在1996創下單季最多安打紀錄,11年後才由統一高國慶打破),同時長打率也十分突出(生涯 0.466)。甚至在職棒五年在投手天堂屏東球場出戰統一獅時,相中投手謝長亨所投出的第一球,就把球送到全壘打牆外,創下中華職棒史上首局首打席首球就擊出全壘打的紀錄。


而味全龍隊的投手是否有些面熟呢,他就是前幾年統一獅隊的終結者凱撒,除了身材比就瘦外,事隔七年再度回台,他的招牌抬腿動作還是一模一樣。

NADIA MECHANIC ANTHOLOGY (part 1/2)

海底兩萬哩 Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water
Nadia MECHANIC ANTHOLOGY (part 1/2)
Nadia MECHANIC ANTHOLOGY (part 2/2)
This is the 30 minutes highlight from all the episodes of the classics animation "Nadia: the Secret of Blue Water". The video was divided into 2 parts due to the files host's limitation to the length of videos. <Go to part2>

影片由於長度的關係,分成兩個部份,上面的影片是第一部分,第二部份在這裡



這是卡通「海底兩萬哩」(或為 海底兩萬里,也有人寫作海底兩萬浬)全片的所有精華片段,這是我小時候唯一能讓我衝回家的卡通,他之所以令我如此著迷,是因為「海底兩萬哩」有別於當時其他卡通的固定劇情,每一集主角都會遇到破壞世界和平的敵人,然後在節目的第二個廣告播出後,主角按照慣例招喚出機器人、把敵人幹掉,之後世界又恢復了平靜;而「海底兩萬里」像是長篇電影,整個故事有完整的架構,是建立在法國小說「海底兩萬哩」、舊約聖經、亞特蘭提斯等這些迷人的傳說上,整個故事是一個冒險的旅程,不會像其他卡通一樣劇情就如同陷入無限迴圈一樣。這部卡通的總監督是庵野秀明,正是新世紀福音戰士的作者,相信一見到他的名號,大家就不難想像這是一部有深度、故事性十足的動畫。

以下轉錄自Wikipedia

Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water (ふしぎの海のナディア Fushigi no Umi no Nadia, lit. Nadia of the Mysterious Seas) is a Gainax series inspired by various Jules Verne novels, particularly Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and the exploits of Captain Nemo. The series was chiefly directed by Hideaki Anno, director of other Gainax productions such as Neon Genesis Evangelion, His and Her Circumstances and Top o Nerae! Gunbuster, with character designs by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto and music by Shiro Sagisu. (Gainax co-founder Shinji Higuchi served as director from episode 23 onward.) The series won the Animage Anime Grand Prix prize in 1990.

The lead characters are an orphaned young inventor named Jean, who lives with his aunt and uncle, and a dark-skinned former circus performer named Nadia, who wishes to return to her home in Africa. Many of the designs in the series, including characters' appearances and several machines, showed up in later Gainax works. In particular, several characters in Neon Genesis Evangelion vaguely resemble Nadia characters due to the same head design artist, Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, working on both. Sadamoto has said that the design of Shinji Ikari, the protagonist of Evangelion, is basically the result of giving Nadia a "masculine makeover".

About two-thirds into its run, the production ran into financial difficulties, since the series was a huge hit and NHK wanted more episodes than had been originally planned. It had to be budgeted to cheaper overseas animation, resulting in a sharp decline in animation quality and an odd shift in the use of sight gags.

In its original Japanese broadcast, it aired from 1990 to 1991 and ran for 39 episodes. The complete television series and aforementioned movie are currently available in the United States from ADV Films on DVD. ADV's Anime Network has broadcast the series in the United States. Reportedly, the series was to have been screened on TV in the United Kingdom in the mid-1990s, but the UK distributor balked because of the amount of violence in the series (which is never gratuitous but is at a greater level than most English-speaking viewers might be used to in TV animation).

Titles of the series in other languages include:

  • الماسة الزرقاء (Arabic)
  • Il mistero della pietra azzurra (Italian)
  • Die Macht des Zaubersteins (German)
  • El misterio de la piedra azul (Spanish)
  • Nadia et le secret de l'eau bleue (French)
  • Nadia: Sinisen veden salaisuus (Finnish)
  • Ang Mahiwagang Kuwintas (Filipino/Tagalog)

Characters

Nadia

Nadia Ra Alwar

Nadia Ra Alwar
Full Name: Nadia Ra Alwar
Born: May 31, 1875
Species: Atlantean (a race that came from M78 to Earth thousands of years ago)
Origin: Tartessos, forgotten city in central Africa.
Height: 156 cm
Weight: 38 kg
Bust: 79 cm
Waist: 58 cm
Hip: 83 cm
Foot size: 22.5 cm
Ring size: 7
Hair: Straight black
Eyes: Emerald green
Blood Type: A
Likes: French Fries, Potatoes, Beans, Milk, Bread
Dislikes: Meat, Fish; Onions, Green Peppers, Mushrooms
Nadia is a 14 year old (15 toward the end of the series) who works in a circus as an acrobat in order to survive, since she is an orphan and of unknown origins. She is chased by Grandis and her associates Sanson and Hanson, who are looking for the jewel that Nadia possesses, the Blue Water. While escaping from them, she meets Jean, and from that moment the two of them will be together in the series, where she tries to discover her origins and find out the truth about her past and the Blue Water, the jewel that seems to have an enormous intrinsic power.
Nadia is quite stubborn, easily irritable, socially inept, and has the ability to talk with animals. For example, she is able to communicate easily with her little lion, King. Nadia is also known among those who have knowledge of the blue water for being its possessor. She even happens to be a strict vegetarian and believes that there is no excuse for eating meat or killing (although her friends attempt to justify their reasons for doing so). Because of her unhappy past, Nadia is even extremely suspicious of all grown-ups--particularly Nemo. As a result of her growing love for Jean however, she comes to learn valuable lessons about friendship, respect, and trust for those around her.
In the epilogue told by a grown-up Marie in the last episode, Nadia has married Jean and they have a child. While Nadia is still a dedicated vegetarian, she is not aggressively so (as evidenced from her meals of meat and fish for Jean and their son).

Jean

Jean Roque Raltique.

Jean Roque Raltique.
Full Name: Jean Roque Raltique
Species: Human
Origin: Le Havre, France
Born: March 28, 1875
Hair: Orange
Eyes: Blue
Blood Type: B
Jean is a young 14 year old orphan who fell in love with Nadia ever since he first laid eyes on her; unlike her, however, Jean has a completely different personality and interests. He is very generous, patient, friendly, and devoted to the things he loves, which are his friends and the love for science. He is also genius inventor, in fact he is capable of creating complex machines at a very young age. Jean's father is a wealthy trader and ship's captain, but was recently lost at sea and is presumed dead. (We later find out that there has been a rash of mysterious disappearances of ships lately and the rumors are that a sea monster has been attacking them) Jean, however, chooses to deny them and is determined to finally find his father along with his big adventure with Nadia to find about the Blue Water. Despite being somewhat awkward when it comes to social graces around the opposite sex (such as giving compliments or lack of awareness in some cases where he's inventing and/or reading when Nadia wants his attention), Jean is genuinely well-behaved and is nice to everyone--even Gargoyle finds something to admire about his courage and cleverness.
His relationship with Nadia is one of the more central aspects of the show. When they first meet on the Eiffel Tower, Nadia refuses his overtures, but when Jean rescues her, he earns her trust. A close friendship forges between the two of them--Jean is consistently loyal to her and vows to take her to Africa someday; later their relationship begins to turn romantic, but Nadia does not know how to express her feelings to him. This leads to outbursts of anger often misdirected at Jean, yet he continually forgives her. When she is not brooding over their relationship, Nadia often goes out of her way to do something nice for him, such as cooking, encouraging him to build a gyrocopter, or comforting him when he grieves about his father (in Episode 16). Likewise, each time Nadia gets into trouble, Jean continually rescues her. Occasionally a disagreement will occur between them about certain issues (notably eating meat or the use of technology vs. nature), but they do not last long. As a result of Jean's love, Nadia is gradually transformed as a person; his optimism overcomes her pessimism, and she becomes more trusting, respectful, and caring of others.
In the epilogue, Jean is married to Nadia (as mentioned above), still inventing things alongside his uncle... and his son!

Nemo

Captain Nemo

Captain Nemo
Full Name: Eleusis Ra Alwar
Species: Atlantean
Origin: Tartessos, Africa
Born: October 28, 1843
Hair: Black
Eyes: Black
Blood Type: A
Nemo is the captain of the submarine called Nautilus, whose purpose is to destroy the Neo-Atlanteans at all costs. He is a mysterious man with a dark past; in fact only step by step we discover that he is Nadia's father and the real Emperor of Atlantis. Though he could have all mankind under his command, he chooses to live peacefully along with them on Earth, as he believes in humans and in their ability to love. While he acts cold and aloof when he first meets Jean, he nonetheless warms up to his outgoing cheerfulness and enthusiasm. Nadia, meanwhile, is very distrustful of him and is quick to accuse him of murder when he shoots a Neo-Atlantean to save her from death. However, she eventually learns to respect Nemo, and, at the end, at last acknowledges him as her father. Nemo then dies after overloading the Neo Nautilis's reactors to blow a passage out of Red Noah, permitting the rest of the cast to return to Earth.
Nemo's name is a reminiscence of the Greek city Eleusis, the place in Greece where the followers of Demeter met annually to initiate members into the ways of the Earth-goddess, and Ra, the sun-god of Heliopolis in ancient Egypt. He is based on Captain Nemo (literally meaning "no man" in Latin). He also bears a striking resemblance to another famous anime captain, Bruno J. Global/Henry J. Gloval of the SDF-1 Macross in Macross/Robotech. Additionally he is wearing a uniform similar to Captain Junzo Okita from Space Battleship Yamato.

Marie

Marie

Marie
Full Name: Marie en Carlsberg / Marie en Löwenbräu
Species: Human
Origin: Marseille, France
Born: April 10, 1885
Hair: Orange
Eyes: Blue
Blood Type: B
Marie is a 4 year child orphaned by the hands of Gargoyle and the Neo-Atlantean troops, who killed her parents. She is soon found by Nadia and Jean, who decide to keep her and to take good care of her. Although she is a kid, Marie is a very strong character, who is at the same time a child but also acts like an adult in difficult situations. She has a good relationship with King, her playmate. In fact, she later comes to see him as husband and wife and Nadia and Jean as her new parents. Later on, however, she will develop an interest in Sanson; in fact, in the epilogue, a grown-up Marie tells us what had happened to all the characters... and finishes her story by telling us that she has married him, and is expecting their first child.
The spelling of the name is uncertain. In the episode guide she appears as "Marie", in the Japanese series books she is "Mary", Streamline Pictures calls her "Mari", and in episode 24 she signs one of her drawings as "Marry". Even so, Marie is probably the most accurate spelling, as the French one.

King

King

King
Species: Lion
Origin: Africa
Hair: Grey
Eyes: Black
King is a small lion, and he is Nadia's best friend before she meets Jean and the others. He will become eventually Marie's playmate during the episodes, playing with her all day. He is a very jealous animal, especially when Nadia and Jean become more intimate.
In the epilogue, King is still living with a now married Nadia and Jean, and has several cubs of his own.

Grandis

Grandis Granva

Grandis Granva
Full Name: Grandis Granva
Species: Human
Origin: Italy
Born: 1861
Hair: Red
Eyes: Emerald green
Grandis is a 28 year old who grew up in a royal Italian family. At first she was rather rich, spoiled and powerful young woman, but later when she was tricked by her first husband, who married her just for her money until he leaves her broke and alone. After her frail mistake she is exiled by her relatives and the only people who remained faithful and loyal to her were Hanson and Sanson, with whom she then formed the Grandis Gang, a group of jewel thieves. Her life and behavior change dramatically when she meets Nadia and the others; having to first steal the Blue Water, then wanting to protect them after finding out she has soft spot for them when learning about their troubles with Gargoyle. Once aboard the Nautilus she falls hopelessly in love with Captain Nemo competing and having a strict rivalry with Electra. She tries to seduce him with any power she has until the very end, but her love for him is never returned.
In the epilogue, a grown-up Marie tells us that she is alive and well, but still looking for a serious and stable love. She's quite popular though with men and is seen at the end in a golf court surrounded by them. Every man there offers her to use their club and according to Marie, "Grandis is always gallivanting around."

Sanson

Sanson

Sanson
Full Name:Sanson
Species: Human
Born: February 22, 1862
Origin: Nice, France
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Blue
Blood Type: B
Sanson is the brawn side of the team. His strength overcomes even the most powerful of mecha. When he was younger he was slim and girls made fun of him; as he trained day by day he became stronger but incredibly vain. Sanson also is an outstanding marksman. He was the chauffeur to Granva's family before they lost their fortune, and he remains faithful to her until the end of the series. In the epilogue, he has married a grown-up Marie and they are expecting their first child.
His name is reminiscent of the biblical figure Samson, who appears in The Book of Judges Chapter 13 - 16., which tells the story of a man who had enormous strength, but if he were to cut his hair he would be breaking his promise with God and therefore lose all his strength. The Sanson in the series is very vain and pays particular attention to his hair.

Hanson

Hanson

Hanson
Species: Human
Born: September 30, 1862
Origin: Nice, France
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Emerald green
Hanson is the mechanic of the Grandis Gang. He has exceptional skills; he built the Gratan and lots of other devices. He is in love with Electra, but alas, his love is not returned. Jean and Hanson become close friends thanks to their mutual fascination with technology, they spend a lot of time together discussing technical details and ideas about mecha.
In the epilogue, Hanson has become an industrial giant, rich and respected-he lives in fictional world's equivalent of the Chrysler building. Having made his fortune as a manufacturer of automobiles, he still claims that he will find a girlfriend someday.

Electra (Medina)

Electra

Electra
Species: Human
Born: 1865
Origin: Tartessos, Africa
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Blue
Electra is an orphan since the destruction of her hometown, after which she is saved by captain Nemo and she is the First Officer of the 'Nautilus', fighting Gargoyle and the Neo-Atlanteans. Electra is deeply in love with Nemo, although she also burgeons a deep grudge toward him for the deaths of her family. Even so, she becomes extremely envious of Grandis' mad infatuation for the Captain, igniting a heated rivalry for his love. She grows fond of Jean and his determination to learn about technology, seeing him as the equivalent of her long lost brother. Nadia, on the other hand, detests Electra and becomes increasingly jealous of Jean's friendship with the First Officer (her inability to tell Jean how she feels nearly damages their own relationship); likewise, Electra fears that Nadia will somehow steal Nemo's heart away from her. Eventually, however, both open up to each other.
In the end of the series, Electra is revealed to be pregnant with Nemo's child, and Marie tells in the epilogue that she gave birth to him and raised him with love, like Nemo asked her.

Gargoyle

Gargoyle

Gargoyle
Full Name: Nemesis Ra Algoras
Species: Human
Born: July 21, 1833
Origin: Tartessos, Africa
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Green
Gargoyle is the head of the Neo-Atlantean forces. He was the prime minister of Tartessos, and his main objectives are:
  1. Destroy Nemo and the Nautilus,
  2. Take possession of the Blue Waters
  3. Dominate over the entire world and humans, whom he considers inferior.
He considers himself an Atlantean, but he is not aware of the fact that he is one of the humans that he despises, as the mere creation of the Atlantean technology. He is a cunning yet brutal villain who speaks in a soft voice and taps into other people's weaknesses to make them comply with his wishes. We never see the face behind the mask until the final episode (and even then, his face is only briefly shown before he dies).
His name is also a mix of Latin and Greek mythology, as for Nemo and Electra.

Emperor Neo (aka Venusis Ra Alwar; aka Icon Epiphanes)

Emperor Neo

Emperor Neo
Species: Atlantean, Mecha
Born: December 29, 1870
Origin: Tartessos, Africa
Hair: Straight black
Eyes: Emerald Green
Blood Type: A
Emperor Neo is apparently the leader of the Neo-Alanteans. Later in the story we discover that he is Nemo's son and Nadia's brother, but his body was destroyed in the collapse of Tartessos, and was mechanically recreated by Gargoyle. He is then controlled like a puppet by him; he tries to take over the world using his psychic powers and technology, and also shoots his own father against his will.
In the end he will eventually liberate his free will and love for his family, sacrificing himself to save Nadia.

Ayerton (Eaton)

Species: Human
Born: November 15, 1860
Origin: London, United Kingdom
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Blue
Ayerton is first seen in the series as a scientific officer aboard US warship Abraham; he states he's been sent on a secret mission to investigate the sea monsters phenomena. Later in the series, Jean and Nadia meet him again partially buried on a mysterious moving island, completely drunk and telling stories about a strange witch who inhabits the island (who naturally turns out to be Grandis). While on the island, Ayerton falls in love with Grandis, and to strike her, he pretends to be an English nobleman who's going to inherit a large wealth from his family.
Ayerton is quite a weird, loudmouthed character, who is never really able to completely grasp the reality around him, and to tell good from evil. In the epilogue, Marie says that Ayerton was really a noble and wealthy man, and eventually he returned to his homeland.

Eiko Villan

Species: Human
Born: June 12, 1869
Origin: Le Havre, France
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Blue
Blood Type: B
Eiko is Nautilus' sonar operator and founder of Ikolina's fan club. In episode 16, Eiko reveals that he is the sole survivor of the shipwreck of Elise Le Havre, Jean's father's ship.

Mecha


Gratan / Katherine

Designed and built from scratch by skilled mechanic Hanson, Gratan is a small multi-purpose vehicle: it has wheels for ground movement, but may also fly using a hot-air balloon and propellers, and even travel underwater. Configuration can be switched by the pilot using a piano keyboard in the cockpit. Gratan, whose original meaning is "Grandis' tank", is the common name for the vehicle, while Grandis prefers to call it "Katherine." After being damaged and repaired countless times during the series, Gratan is eventually crushed by the igniter of Red Noah's Light of Babel, a sacrifice needed to avoid destruction of a defenseless Excelion.

Nautilus (Eritrium)

Length: 152 m
Mass: 12,000 tons
Powered by: Pair-annihilation engine
An Atlantean space-ship converted to submarine, Nautilus' is Nemo's main weapon against Gargoyle and his minions. Notable features of this ship are: ability to withstand high pressures and depths, exceptionally resistant Space Titanium armoured hull (the clear ports are made from Tektite), and water-jet magnetic propulsion.
The name of the original spaceship was Eritrium, as is discovered by Jean and Nadia in episode 15, while the origin of the Nautilus is explained at the end of the series. Eritrium (sometimes spelled Elitrium or Eltrium) is also the name of a space ship in Gunbuster.

New Nautilus (Excelion)

Length: 333.33 m
Mass: 38,000 tons
Powered by: Orpheus engine (main) + Pair-annihilation engine (auxiliary)
Weapons: Pulse Cannon Model-98 calibre 50, Freezing Cannon Model Third-Year calibre 60, Autocharging Laser Turrets Model-98, Phaser Cannon calibre 88
One of Atlantis' most powerful warships, it's been reactivated after 12,000 years by Nemo's crew after the demise of Nautilus in episodes 21 and 22. New Nautilus' Orpheus engine draws power from aberrations in the gravitational field of two black holes orbiting one around the other. The ship has other weapon systems which were damaged in previous battles, and cannot be repaired. (Excelion is also the name of one of the most powerful ships in Gunbuster.)

Red Noah

Diameter: 12.222 km
Powered by: Multiple Orpheus engines regulated and powered by the two Blue Waters
Weapons: firepower is reported to be 50 times greater than the New Nautilus'
One of the three space-arks used by Atlanteans to leave their home in Nebula M78 and reach the Earth. It is disguised as a moving island on which take place episodes 27-31. Red Noah finally reveals its nature when Nadia and Jean enters the ship in episodes 30-31, as a giant flying saucer operated by a sentient android, which wants to bring Nadia to Atlantis in order to start a new Atlantean empire. Eventually Red Noah is retrieved by Gargoyle who'll be using it as the final weapon for the restoration of Neo Atlantis and the subjugation of the human race.

Trivia

  • This show's origins date back to the mid-1970s when Hayao Miyazaki was hired by Japanese movie giant Toho to develop ideas for television series. One of these concepts was "Around the World Under the Sea", (adapted from Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea), in which two orphan children pursued by villains team up with Captain Nemo and the Nautilus. It was never produced, but Toho retained the rights for the story outline. This explains why Anime fans often liken Nadia to a Miyazaki production; the animator reused elements from his original concept in later projects of his, notably the Sci-Fi series Future Boy Conan and his action-adventure film Castle in the Sky.[2]
  • Approximately ten years later, Gainax was appointed by Toho in 1989 to produce a TV series which would be broadcast on the Japanese educational network NHK. Miyazaki's outline for "Around the World Under the Sea" was the one which captivated Gainax the most. Under the direction of Hideaki Anno, the animation studio took the central story and setup Miyazaki had developed and touched it up with their own creativity.[2] (incidentally, Anno had previously worked for Miyazaki as an animator on Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.)
  • Nadia showed up on the Japanese Animage polls as favorite Anime heroine, dethroning the then top champion, Hayao Miyazaki's Nausicaa.
  • Nadia was originally intended to have an estimated 30 episodes. Since the show was so popular in Japan, however, NHK requested Gainax to produce more episodes, extending the episode count to 39. These episodes, dubbed as the "infamous island episodes" (which begin on Episode 23 and conclude on Episode 34), took hits for poor animation (since, as mentioned, other animation studios in Japan and Korea produced these episodes), ill-conceived plotting, and character stupidities; consequently, they drove many fans away. Only by Episodes 35-39 does the show return to its initial roots wherein lies its appeal. The setting of these episodes was suggested by Jules Verne's other novel featuring Captain Nemo, Mysterious Island.
  • According to the notes found in the DVD sleeve of the Italian edition, the true reason behind the difference between the "infamous island episodes" and the rest of the series, would be that production was late on schedule. Starting with episode 11, Anno was working up to 18 hours a day on the series, and yet he was unable to cope with the screenplay, which was then handed to the storyboard team. After episode 20 (aired September 21, 1990), NHK put Nadia on hold to make space for news coverage on the Gulf War: the series returned about a month later with episode 21 (aired on October 26). Nonetheless production was still late, and Anno asked friend and Gainax co-founder Shinji Higuchi to take over the direction of the series, while he was going to focus on the ending. According to the same source, Anno would have stated that episodes 30 and 31 were the only he would have saved among the Island Chapter ones, while episode 34 was entirely scrapped and replaced by edited sequences of previous episodes.
  • At the start of each episode, a Japanese inscription appears on screen (written in the Latin alphabet) and is read by a man's voice challenging the viewer to follow him for an adventure. "Are you adventurers? Do you seek the truth behind the mythical being that lies beneath the blue waterfalls named The Perilous. If you are, then you must first find me." This derives from the perplexing challenge of Arne Saknussemm in Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth.
  • Shortly after Nadia completed its first broadcast in Japan, Carl Macek and his company, Streamline Pictures purchased the license for Nadia in the hopes of bringing the show to U.S. television, but because of financial difficulties, Streamline could only dub the first eight episodes. (Coincidentally, Anno worked on Macross, which Macek adapted into the successful Robotech). The original VHS release of the episodes was one per tape and not being sold at bargain price, was not popular with budget minded consumers. The episodes were eventually collected as two compilation tapes at a more bargain price. The dub's cast included Wendee Lee as Nadia, Ardwight Chamberlain as Jean, Jeff Winkless as Captain Nemo, Cheryl Chase as Mary, Melanie MacQueen as Grandis, Tom Wyner as Sanson, Steve Kramer as Hanson, Edie Mirman as Electra, and Steve Bulen as Gargoyle. In 1996, Streamline's rights for the show expired. Later, ADV Films purchased the rights for Nadia, and commissioned a new dub to be recorded at their Austin-based Monster Island studios. This dub cast actual children in the roles of Nadia, Jean, and Marie (in the Japanese and Streamline versions, all three parts were played by adult actors). In ADV's version, Nadia is portrayed by Meg Bauman (who was, like Nadia, 14 years old at the time she recorded the part), Jean by Nathan Parsons (12 years old), and Marie by Margaret Cassidy (11 years old). Interestingly, Cassidy originally auditioned for the Nadia role.
  • The series contains numerous nods to other Japanese television series, as is to be expected in a series by Gainax, which is famously comprised of "otaku" (fervent anime fans). Ostensibly, the Grandis Gang are modeled after the villains from Tatsunoko's Time Bokan series, and M78, the home system of the Atlanteans, is also the home of Tsuburaya's Ultraman.
  • There are various Biblical references in Nadia: Secret of the Blue Water. "Noah's Ark" and the "Tower of Babel" are two such examples. One example presented near the end of the series, a giant artificial human called "Adam", is faintly reminiscent of the Adam and Evangelions of Neon Genesis Evangelion.
  • Jean's family name, Raltique, is derived from the name of the famous French photographer Jacques Henri Lartigue. Lartigue started talking photographs of aircraft at the Ligue Aérienne in 1908, at the age of 14, incidentally the age of Jean in the Blue Water series.

觸身球王子---喬伊 Joe Davenport



果然是畜生球王子

大家應該對這位統一美國籍洋投有印象,他於2004創下單季最多觸身球的紀錄,因此有觸身球王子的稱號,而且他在2004年6月2日對誠泰的比賽中因為教練團球員登錄上的問題,使喬伊有上場打擊的機會,這時大家都很期待看看誠泰投手克萊柏Kleber會不會採取報復手段,結果是沒有,且喬伊擊出一支內野滾地球讓二壘的跑者推進到三壘,留下了一個難得的打擊紀錄。
以下是喬伊上場打擊的片段;



Joe Davenport is a former American pitcher in Tainan-based Uni-President Lions Baseball Team. He was a quality starter with a 2.80 ERA from 2002 to 2004, however, at the same time he was highly controversial. Since he threw many inside sinkers, it easily hit batters when pitching were out of control. He held a record of the most HBP pitcher during a single season (2004) in Taiwanese Professional Baseball League. At the same year, he threw at least one HBP in consecutive 7 games which is also a highest record in Taiwanese Baseball League.
