General Questions / Identifying Anime.

The anime was a space based anime where a boy had a jewel inserted into his hand and he was able to communicate telepathically to a green alien. The alien had arms that had wings wrapped around them and could open them to glide at any time he saw fit.

If you have any idea of what i'm talking about that'd be super awesome. Thanks so much.

The voice and subs are censored on crunchyroll, in the instance I've located here at any rate:

I recall an old anime I watched as a kid, but I can't quite seem to remember the name, hence the thread. From what I can remember, there are three main characters. A bounty hunter, I think, who travels with a girl who inherited a space ship from her grand/mother. And there's also a hologram in the ship that looks like a maid. I remember two scenes from the anime, one where the girl was being sold as a slave, and another where the hologram turned fat due to some error in the ships data banks so she couldn't go out of her room. I apologize if this isn't enough to identify the anime.

I have a general question. What are the ways to reinburse for torrent-downloaded anime? Do the money from actually buying the BD/DVD go to the authors? Because I heard that they don't get royalties, only receive one-time payments for licenses. And is there a worldwide list of official distributors? Because here, in Moscow, you never know.
Thanks!

How in the world did they survive the heat and humidity in the summer?

At least actual sales 1) have a chance of feeding back to those studios depending on the contracts and 2) the sales numbers will show companies and studios that "Hey people like this show and not just because they got it for free off of the internet! We should make more shows like this."

Can anyone explain to me how the sleeves of an outer robe like, say, InuYasha's or Sai's (and practically everyone else's on this page), are attached?

(and do you know the proper name for the clothing?)

I still can't see why the top of the sleeve doesn't just dog-ear outward.

these were ceremonial court clothes,

寶德二年六月十九日辛卯、今夜內大臣殿御拜賀也、…衞府長雖被爲具爲狩衣之間不入立蔀內者也、

This was reduced by law to a maximum of five layers, in the sumptuary laws of 1074.

年返りぬれば、所〱の有樣どもいとめでたし。梅壺の女御殿御覺、月日に添えていとめでたく世人は申せど、いかなるにか、「后にはえ居給ふまじ」とのみ申す。何事にてしるきにか。この御時は、制ありて、衣の數は五、紅の織物などは制あり。ものゝ榮なけれど、折〱院の人の裝束などはいとをかしくせさせ給。されど、制あればいと口惜しくぞ。

Actually, they were not clothes for ceremonies in the court.
Clothes like Sai's were noblemen's everyday/informal/hunting clothes.
In fact, when a nobleman wore clothes like that, he could not go to Court.

I am NOT trying to ID a particular show; what I am TRYING to do is ID a particular posting/thread. There was this discussion of FLCL's meaning and someone posted a link to an essay on Adult Swim that discussed the various themes and meanings of the show. I am trying to find that essay's URL -- thus far to no avail (I'm sorry, but I don't remember what year the post was made). The forum search function is useless as it literally presents HUNDREDS of posts for review and I simply don't have the patience which is required in order to go through them all without my brain going through a meltdown.
