So it's nice to see absolutely nothing happen in episodes 20 and 21 of School Rumble.

Seroiusly, this shit is starting to piss me off. Leave this type of 'negation' to Rumiko.

Fuck if this show ever bothers to not treat itself as a gag comedy I'd be one extremely happy motherfucker.

Ah well, I guess that explains my avatar~

[Gasaraki]

Yeah, being able to tell whether or not it's bootleg is really easy. If you see boxsets, go to the OFFICIAL site of the anime and look to see if it's the same box art. If it's not, that's the first clue to a bootleg. If it is, which is exceedingly rare, then if it's region free, has chinese subs, comes from hong kong, lots of episodes on a single disc, then those are other gigantic clues.

Anyway, I still suggest NEVER ordering from discount anime DVD. Use www.dvdpricesearch.com because it's much easier to find cheap LEGIT stuff through that site.

[#reload]

just finished eureka seven, 9/10. pretty good ending. such a change from the depressing endings in animes i've seen lately, but anemone looks better than eureka. and renton is dope.

anyway, i need another anime to watch. any suggestions? to recap from my previous post that no one read a few months back, i've watched and enjoyed fate stay night, tsukihime, bebop, champloo, and furikuri, and i've watched and thought was OK chrno crusade, and i've watched and thought was really boring peacemaker.

[UncleBuck]

Does anyone know how many dvd volumes of Berserk there are? I think I have seven, cant find anymore

[JonnyQuest]

what's the hottest samurai style anime out right as of now?

[UncleBuck]

thx one more question do you know where i can find goku:midnight eye on dvd..its old as hell but i liked it

[UncleBuck]

I mainly buy my anime at bestbuy...good prices but small selection

[JonnyQuest]

:lovin: www.ebay.com www.bestbuy.com :lovin:

[Gasaraki]

like I said, DVDpricesearch is WAY better than anything else on the net because it's a search engine that covers a large compilation of DVD selling sites, and only has legit stuff.

Is this pic (http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g312/greedfangirl/Greed%20Images/GroupHug.jpg) an official FMA artwork, or some fanart? I can't tell...it's not done by the artist/s on that site, so I assume she found it...somewhere else.

Defintely fanart. Doesn't look like Hiromu Arakawa's art, and obviously isn't from the anime. No idea where it would be from

I buy my anime from suncoast.

[The Damned]

I'm still reading Hunter x Hunter, though I took a bit of break in-between Chapter 14 and Chapter 15; I just finished reading the latter.

It's becoming even more enjoyable, even for parts that would probably mediocre despite the length of the arc or subject matter. I think I'm liking the training the best, though there are obvious other things that sound out, like Killua beasting everyone in probably the shortest Hunter Exam ever and the Bomb Devil's plot.

Speaking of The Bomb Devil, I don't know why it took me so long to think of Karasu. Considering how much I like Karasu, it's not surprising that I like the Bomb Devil. I just a bit pissed when I thought he had killed the African guy, who is extremely smart; it's refreshing to not see a stereotypical character in Japanese media since the only other person I could think of is Elena and maybe Aokiji.

Apropos characters introduced in the Greed Island arc, Bisk was rather weird at first, but she's quickly grew on me when Lens Flare Punched Killua. Heh. I'm just hoping there's an explanation of why she still looks like she's 12 if she's really that old. I'm thinking Babydoll, but I'm somewhat sure that Nen probably has something to do with that.

Before I get to my complaint about Nen, I just wanted to comment that I quite like Kuroro/Quoll/Chrollo Lucifer, despite him looking rather girly when his cross is covered. The fight between him and Silva & Zeno was excellent; it's to see the person who could perhaps be the main villian be the outright strongest without a need to introduce someone even more ("egregiously") powerful, like in DBZ.

That said, I think that Kurapika and, by association, (conditional) Materialization are the most broken, at least when it comes to potential (read: imagination). I'd certainly like Materialization over everything--most especially Emission, which seems rather crappy--except for maybe Specialization. The fact that other Materialization users thus far, like Shizuku, Kuroro, and the Bomb Devil, are also top-tier seems to further this.

Finally, we get to my only complaint about the manga at the moment: Nen jargon.

After Nen was introduced, it seemed difficult to just remember even what Ten, Ren, Zetsu, and Hatsu when Wing spoke of them. Then it was easy for a little while, even with the introduction of Gyo and In. While I occasionally forgot, it wasn't any big deal, especially since I had the physical manga back then. Then, with the huge September arc and Nobunaga's use of En, I should have realized I was fucked. (Or was it Mu? It's something monosyllabic that I can't remember. Zeno used it as well.) Bisk's training then introduced Shuu and Ken and probably other things that I'm forgetting now; oh, right, like Ryu.

Basically, my point is this: Anyone nowhere I can find a summary list? I'm going to check Wikipedia in a bit, but if they don't have it, I'm going to need a bit of direction.

[Stabby]

Great site for any and all info. (http://www.dreams.9esolution.net/)

One of the things I like most about HxH is that it isn't so much about the class of ability, as it is about how well the user utilizes what they have.

Hisoka, for example, has kind of a garbage ability. But he uses it so well that it seems broken.

And Kuroro is specialization, not materialization. And how the fuck is Shizuku top-tier?

Yeah, nen is kinda confusing at first.

Thanks for that.

Hisoka, for example, has kind of a garbage ability. But he uses it so well that it seems broken.

Makes sense. I'm guessing that you that Hisoka's has seemingly garbage abilities when it comes to combat, because outside of that, as seen with the divination occurence, he could probably make a living as forger otherwise.

And Kuroro is specialization, not materialization. And how the fuck is Shizuku top-tier?

Yeah, nen is kinda confusing at first.

Heh. My mistake when it comes to Kuroro. I just thought he was materialization since he materializes the Secret Book of Theft out of then air and the strict conditions had when it comes to use the theft part of his power.

As for Shizuku being top-tier: she gets rid of evidence like nothing. Again, like Hisoka, she would probably better suited to non-combat outside of crushing people's damn heads with sucker part of Demi-chan. However, I'm exactly thinking of just combat. It's like how you said, in a way: the imagination of the user.

It's the same reason that I considered Kurotopi top-tier because of the way that he duplicated those buildings so damned effortlessly and had no blind spots in his fakes. (By the way, is that the person whose gender you said I wouldn't believe?)

However, tiering is always debatable and you obviously know more about Hunter x Hunter than I do. It's merely fun to think about superpowers that make me jealous, even though I'd probably get killed in the Hunter exam before I even learned Nen. Heh.

[Hoonyo]

this page makes me sad and miss hxh a lot more

[Stabby]

You'd be fine in an exam as long as Hisoka wasn't there.

But you are right with Kuroro-- making the book is materialization.

And I forget that you haven't seen the rest of the Ryodan's abilities in combat. Though I'm surprised that you call Shizuku top tier after seeing Uvo's fight. It was beautiful how he killed that Kiba-esque hunter, the puffball guy... hell, all of those shitty bodyguards.

I love the Ryodan because of how well they all work together. Pakunoda, Machi, Shizuku, Cell-Phone Guy (with a monstrous name which I'll never remember), Kurotopi (and Kuroro to a degree) are all non-combat types that can fight as well.

And no, the person that you wouldn't believe is Caruto, who should have been introduced by now as the new Ryodan member.

Tiers in HxH are kinda iffy. You can have fighting tiers, but you'd also need ability tiers, and practicality tiers. And some characters have abilities that would be amazing if they weren't so fucking stupid.

Talking about the series makes me want to read it again. The fight that closes the Greed Island arc is my favourite fight in any anime/manga.

EDIT:

Hoonyo, it only makes me hope that he doesn't just let the series die.

[The Damned]

You'd be fine in an exam as long as Hisoka wasn't there.

You flatter me. But really: I'm horrible shape, I've horrible eyesight, have next to no formal combat training except what isn't even sufficient beginner's level at Taekwondo and Karate, and have no weapon training. The most sufficient thing I've got is murderous intent--shoush!--and that's not enough (or even necessary).

Oh well....

And I forget that you haven't seen the rest of the Ryodan's abilities in combat. Though I'm surprised that you call Shizuku top tier after seeing Uvo's fight. It was beautiful how he killed that Kiba-esque hunter, the puffball guy... hell, all of those shitty bodyguards.

Yeah. Uvo's fight was awesome, but I think I just don't highly of reinforcement types compared to the others, probably because its the least malleable. However, Uvo seemed to show that you could reinforce less obvious aspects, like the sound of your voice, so there probably a lot of less obvious uses. I've been thinking about reinforcing your speed, but considering how fast a lot of Nen users seem to be already.... The same for senses, which Gon and Killua are the only ones that seem to have an excellent advantage on.

Those "elite" bodyguards did get taken down awefully quickly though, now that you remind me....

I love the Ryodan because of how well they all work together. Pakunoda, Machi, Shizuku, Cell-Phone Guy (with a monstrous name which I'll never remember), Kurotopi (and Kuroro to a degree) are all non-combat types that can fight as well.

Right. It's quite impressive, especially considering the group doesn't share all of their information with each other, as shown with Pakunoda's mind bullet trick. However, I think Hisoka showed their weakness, in that they're surprisingly accepting because of this.

Anyway, Uvo's "mistress" on the side when Nobunaga is PMSing is Shalnark. (Seriously, what was that kiss for?) The name is quite odd, but it's grown on me in the sense that it's memorable. The only person whom I can't really remember is the guy that looks like a mummy, but that's probably because he (?) hasn't gotten to do anything on screen yet.

Also, I think the needle girl's name is Menchi.

And no, the person that you wouldn't believe is Caruto, who should have been introduced by now as the new Ryodan member.

Damn. That sounds like a girl's name too.

If (s)he's more androgynous than Kurapika, then I think I'll have to cry myself to sleep at night.

Tiers in HxH are kinda iffy. You can have fighting tiers, but you'd also need ability tiers, and practicality tiers. And some characters have abilities that would be amazing if they weren't so fucking stupid.

Talking about the series makes me want to read it again. The fight that closes the Greed Island arc is my favourite fight in any anime/manga.

Gotcha. Character stupidity happens in almost anything involving flexible superpowers, but the way that you phrase implies that it seems to happen less often than say, One Piece.

That's definitely.

Anyway, at this very moment, I'm still laughing about Bisk and Hisoka's interacting, especially considering Hisoka was in nude. Heh. I think I finally found something easy enough to make an avatar out of....

[dialupsucky]

anyone know where I can dl all of the star ocean 3 manga?

[Stabby]

I'm not going to bother replying to the rest, at least not until you catch up. A HxH discussion at this point would only depress me.

Anyone know when the Shana movie is coming out?

[Spirit Juice]

is it any good? from the looks of it on wiki, it appears to be just another school girl w/ action anime

It was one of my favorites of 2004. It seems like your typical school girl action anime the first half... but it gets very dark, very fast. The second half of the series eclipses the first by a mile... and the second half alone is the reason to watch the anime. Think of the first half as a set up/build up for the second half, which happens to be the meat of the story. I won't spoil, but it does get pretty angsty during the second half.

Hey![/Haruha Haruko]

Stabby, sorry to bring up Hunter x Hunter again, but the link that I was downloading from is no longer working. It's kind of a real cliff-hanger to end with Laser getting smacked in the face.

I actually watched the first ep. of E7, but couldn't get into it sadly :/
So I get no one knows where I can DL Blade of the Immortal from >_> <_<
BTW Keroro Gunso rocks, you guys should give it a watch. I personally recommend this fansub's (http://www.hbsubs.com/) subs since they also mention the refrences in the episodes. Another group that's subbing the series ATM is Doremi Fansubs.

Does anybody else watch Hikaru No GO? Got hooked on it in shonen jump and Go seems like an interesting game. I thought Sai was a girl til i saw the show.

[Warpticon]

Go is the best strategy game ever. Imagine if Chess was waaaaay more open-ended. And yeah, I thought Sai was a girl until it was pointed out. He's certainly not very manly. How in the hell did this end up on CN? The show is good, though, in a number of ways. The story is interesting enough, and it's hilarious to see all the conventions of fighting or sports anime played out over a freaking board game. Also, it introduced me to go, which is the shit, so I have it to thank for that.

[Warpticon]

I've been essentially playing for about two years, though I don't play often enough against good human competition, so I'm pretty low tier. There are some good beginners tutorials out there, and a couple of good computer go programs like Jacqueline Go. There's a 9x9 free go program called Igowin that adjusts your ranking with every match you win/lose against the AI to try to judge your current strength.

[Mr. Bastos]

Hikaru is on CN? I knew it was coming but I saw no ads for it. Interesting. I loved that anime I thought it was funny to see them go all out over Go. how is the english dub? I too have wanted to learn how to play Go because of this show, though it sucks no1 I know really even cares. =T

More on the Hunter x Hunter front:


I immensely enjoyed the whole Reiza/Laser thing. It's hard to believe all that was for a damned card.
Younger Jin has hellishly fierce eyebrows. It's kind of comical, in good way.
Bisk is fucking buff....
I did really enjoy the last fight on Greed Island. I could never do what Gon did, even if I knew the plan ahead of time.
Was there a reason that the art got really sketchy until like the end of book 17 or so after Gon won the game?
Wait. So Caruto is "Kalluto"? I thought Killua's mother already confirmed Caruto/Kalluto was a girl.... Don't tell me I imagined things again.
Nothing much really happened in the Chimera Ant arc until it got to actually getting instead of NGL. Then it got fucking gruesome really quick.
Pokkle and Ponzu seem to have shitty luck.
Nefelpitou is a fucking beast. I think I've seen her in some avatars before, but I can't remember if it was on this forum.


I just finished with issue #200. So this should be good.

P.S. At least Palm's gender is cleared in less than six pages.

[Shizuma_15]

powerpuff girls z.....lols

[Stabby]

Yay, I get to talk about HxH again!

1. I love the dodgeball fight. One of my favourite scenes in the manga was when Hisoka caught the ball, and he looks at his mangled hand and says something like "Oh. I seem to have broken most of my fingers." And I also love the significance of the dodgeball match as it bears on their ability. Gon and Killua are both prodigies, yes, but they also both really really suck at this point.
And that card was powerful garbage. Some of those cards, I wouldn't have minded taking, though.

2. Jin... apparently, his name is actually Ging. I don't know if the translators made a note of it in the actual chapters, but they do change his name. I'll explain a bit more later on in the post.

3. I still love her, though

4. It was brutal, wasn't it? But I just loved how they set-up and planned for all that, and all the contingencies and how he trained specifically just to win, and not necessarily to beat him in a fight. It wasn't a bullshit powerup to defeat a stronger opponent. They devised a plan, and worked at it until it became something they could succeed with.

5. And the reason the art got shitty is because Togashi is rich, and lazy. The art is cleaned up for the volume releases, so he can basically do whatever he wants in the chapters. LUCKILY, most of what you'll be reading is from the volumes-- otherwise you'd have been subjected to some of the sketchiest art I've ever seen for anything. You'll get a bit of it, but not much.

6. The name changes come from Togashi's english being terrible. The 'official' english names of the characters are simply abominations, so the translators have to make due with them phonetically. Hisoka is something like... Hykcksoya. And sometimes they just make mistakes. Confusion in the gender come from japanese having a gender indefinate pronoun (like 'it'), and so the translators have to just guess. But yes-- all of Killua's siblings are boys.
All of them.

7. No one likes this arc. And it makes me a little sick. After that thing with the little brother and sister... I really hate the ants.

8. Sucks to be them!

9. It was probably me. Nef is kinda the mascot of my site, even if she is actually a he. -_-;; Even though I like her (Nef is a girl in my mind, forever), I still think that Kaitou got robbed. The fight would have been his if Gon and Killua weren't there with him. But that was some beastly en, wasn't it?

And lastly--

Palm is most definately a girl. Most def.

[XAQshinor]

i figured out the anime-kraze link u gave. the only shows with links to the torrents are the ones with rss next to it. this means however that i really cant find spiral =(. i took ur advice and looked for myself but i was a lost cause. but the fact that i figured the rss thing out means that im slowly losing my computer noob title =). seriously though i just got a comp like 2 maybe 3 months ago.

It wasn't a bullshit powerup to defeat a stronger opponent. They devised a plan, and worked at it until it became something they could succeed with.

I concur. I was rather speechless from the "punch the ground" part onward, especially since he outdid Uvo's "Big Bang Attack". However, the use of Gain there was just fucking beautiful.

The only thing I didn't really like is that Gensuru's two sidekicks seemed to be way weaker than I was expecting. I mean, it didn't seem like even had any Hatsu of them own, since "Release" only works with all three of them touching and "Bomber" is such a conditional materialization that Gensuru didn't need them to make the actual bombs.

Meh. It was hiliarous to see some get owned by yo-yos though.

5. And the reason the art got shitty is because Togashi is rich, and lazy.

Ah. say no more.

6. But yes-- all of Killua's siblings are boys. All of them.

Ugh. However, I went back and looked at the physical version of volume 5 that I have. Indeed, there is no mention of Kalluto as a boy and he does look slightly boyish in the two panels where he stares at them as his mother runs off.

...Meh. I'll shut the fuck up. Hisoka wears freaking high heels and he's awesome, so....

...Kurapika is still girlier. Even if he doesn't wear kimono.

7. No one likes this arc. And it makes me a little sick. After that thing with the little brother and sister... I really hate the ants.

Any reason why? Too DBZ-like? I was kind of thinking of Nef as Freiza (given the whole Omega Red aura s...er "he" has going on) and the King now really looks like Cell. (Sorry if this is an insult to your mascot.)

Or is too gruesome?

9. It was probably me. Nef is kinda the mascot of my site, even if she is actually a he. -_-;; Even though I like her (Nef is a girl in my mind, forever), I still think that Kaitou got robbed. The fight would have been his if Gon and Killua weren't there with him. But that was some beastly en, wasn't it?

It's possibly.

As for Kaitou getting robed, I can't really say. Crazy Four does really seem like a shitty ability, and he only showed a third of its ability before he got offed.

And lastly--

Palm is most definately a girl. Most def.

Yeah. That's been established rather well by now, given all the parallels with Sadako.

If I ever become premium, then I'm totally going to make a "Bliss of the Knife" avatar with her pose from page 6 of issue #205.


Oh, and thanks again.

[Stabby]

especially since he outdid Uvo's "Big Bang Attack"

If you mean the hole, I'm pretty sure that it was pre-dug. They just put a relatively solid flooring over the top of it, and that was what Gon nailed when he attacked.

For the competence of the other two guys-- Biske fucked him up in one punch. That was a write-off from the start. And Killua is a much better fighter than Gon (thanks to his assassin training). And as a whole, they weren't really anything special. Togashi stated that at the end of Greed Island, Gon and Killua are about average-level hunters. Gensuru was obviously the leader of Bomber, so you could put him as slightly above-average, and the other two being his lackies. And remember that they weren't really fighter-type hunters.

I think that the similiarity with DBZ is part of the reason people dislike the arc. Another part of it might be just how long its been going. Togashi had less than 50 chapters in two years, and is still on his 8-month-plus break. Even if it isn't so bad in retrospect, it is still taking forever to get through. Another part of it is the lessened focus on Gon and Killua (in later chapters), and the worry that the series will just become a power-up fest with the introduction of these new super-enemies. That, and the ants really are assholes. They killed off some fan-liked characters like it was nothing, and then just start eating children.

As for my take on Nef v Kaitou--

The fight started with Kaitou losing his arm (messily) because he had to protect Gon and Killua. He knew that Nef's attack was coming, he could sense her en, but he still had to take the hit regardless. At the end of the fight, even Nef admitted that it was a good one-- not to mention the obvious physical damage she had taken during it. He is(was) a double-star hunter. I think he could have taken her down then and there if the kids didn't screw it up.


More on Palm-- Have you seen her date yet? I kinda hate Novu for never hitting that.

Non-crazy version, of course.

[Akutabi Gamma]

Anyone watching Kemonozume?

I'm <3ing it.

Care to give some info on this show?

Wee HxH talk, man I need to start a new HxH thread, anyway:
Palm is that psycho bitch that hangs with Killua & Gon right? Yeah, she's a she, and damn is she one freaky psycho bitch.
I love Biscuit too, she's my fav. character, even though I dislike cute/kawaii chicks, Biscuit owns my heart cuz of her personality.
...BTW anyone else agree that Chrollo's Nen ability is the most danagerous? I mean all he has to do is SEE YOU do your ability & get affected by it and or understand it and he'll steal it from you. What do u guys think?

[shinobi00]

Can someone tell me why they had to make 2 useless episodes of school rumble in a row at such a critical point in the story? an another thing, with all these new characters added this season, they only seemed to remember the main plot of the show like 6 episodes ago. I guarantee their going to add more characters next season too. idiots.

[Stabby]

Care to give some info on this show?

No. Go in watching it blind.

Wee HxH talk, man I need to start a new HxH thread, anyway:

The series is on indefinate hiatus. Why would you make a thread when a new chapter hasn't come out in 8 months?

Yup, thats Palm, though they didn't hang out that much, and Biske isn't really that cute. Not her 'true form' at least.

...BTW anyone else agree that Chrollo's Nen ability is the most danagerous? I mean all he has to do is SEE YOU do your ability & get affected by it and or understand it and he'll steal it from you. What do u guys think?

"A) He must satisfy 4 conditions to activate his ability:

1. Witness the nen ability in action
2. Enquire about the ability and obtain answers
3. Victim's hand must touch Kuroro's book cover
4. Steps 1 to 3 must be completed within an hour.

B) To use the abilities, Kuroro must materialize the book and hold it in his right hand. The page containing the victim's ability must be open.

C) Once the victim dies, the ability and the page it was on will be destroyed. "

Yeah the second season is very disjointed and messy.

As I said before, if the show ever bothers to get past its status as a gag comedy it will really be something special.

:\

[The Damned]

If you mean the hole, I'm pretty sure that it was pre-dug. They just put a relatively solid flooring over the top of it, and that was what Gon nailed when he attacked.

Yeah. You're right. I now remember Gensuru saying that it was some kind of pre-made pitifall.

The hole was fucking huge though.

And remember that they weren't really fighter-type hunters.

That's the debatable thing.

I frequently remember Tzu...er that's all remember of his name at the moment, calling these people "warriors". I guess that's why I expected them to put up a bit more of a fight, well, at least the one that Killua was fighting. The Bisk thing came out of nowhere, except for explaining exactly what she was lying about.

It's not like they were totally incompetent without Gensuru. So, as I said early, I guess I was just expecting some independent use of Hatsu.

Oh well. It was still an awesome battle.

I think that the similiarity with DBZ is part of the reason people dislike the arc. Another part of it might be just how long its been going. Togashi had less than 50 chapters in two years, and is still on his 8-month-plus break. Even if it isn't so bad in retrospect, it is still taking forever to get through.

Ah. These are probably the only two that I have a problem.

The King's Hatsu is extremely problematic, and makes him even more like Cell, which is never a good thing considering that's the bad part of the whole DB(Z) series. Such a power was also extremely predictable, and not in the good Chrollo/Kuroro/Quoll way.

I was wondering what you were talking about hiatus-wise. Yes, let's hope that it continues with some regularity.

As for the other two, I've never had much of a problem with focusing on other characters than the protagonists, especially since I tend to like minor characters. As long as they aren't just getting used because they're going to get slaughtered to show how powerful the foe is, I can probably enjoy it. For instance, I really enjoyed the whole fight with the Ryodan that happened in "Ten", which is the last sub-arc that I got through.

As for killing of children, I don't think that's a bad thing unless they were going to out of the way to kill children in attempt to show how "evil" they are. They're just killing the children because the children are there and another source of food. I think it's rather gutsy.

As for my take on Nef v Kaitou--

That's true I suppose.

All I don't get is why he turn around to tell them? That's what lost him his arm (and his head). It's not couldn't have turned around after Nef hit the ground, since Killua probably still would have listened to him.

More on Palm-- Have you seen her date yet? I kinda hate Novu for never hitting that.

Non-crazy version, of course.

Yeah. She was extremely pretty compared to how shaggy before; I think you may have had her "pretty version" in your avatar before since I remember seeing someone that looked like her somewhere.


Anyway, now that I finally better understand some of the Ryodan's abilities better, though the sound mummy (the guy's whose name I can't begin to pronounce) and Feitan's still confuse me a bit, I have to again repeat that Shizuku is top-tier. Chapter 228 revealed a massive loophole in her inability to use Demi-chan on living things. She's like fucking Shatterstar (or whoever has the ability to set people's blood on fire in Marvel).

Outside of that, I just to know if I'm the only that things of Yuyu Hakusho when I see some of the characers? For example:


Gensuru looks like younger Toguro.
Feitan is basically what Hiei would be like if he spoke worse English.
Knuckle is totally Kuwabara.
Killua is the love-child of Kurama and Hiei/Feitan.


Etcerta etcerta.

[tempest]

i figured out the anime-kraze link u gave. the only shows with links to the torrents are the ones with rss next to it. this means however that i really cant find spiral =(. i took ur advice and looked for myself but i was a lost cause. but the fact that i figured the rss thing out means that im slowly losing my computer noob title =). seriously though i just got a comp like 2 maybe 3 months ago.


now if ya want to you can wait till oct for the spiralboxet which is ubar cheap like 60.00bucks or less depanding if ya have abestbuy.


hmm the only shows
i'm really interested in now is


red summer

black lagoon 2d season
Le Chevalier D'Eon ( very recommended)

and death's note . depanding how madhouse handles it*prays it follows the manga to the letter with very little filler eps

Master Chibi gunbuster 2 hasn't been license has of yet, but bandai visuals has season one, so they have 2d season has well.

[maxx]

any tenjoue tenge fans in here?

i finally caught up on the manga...im soo fuckin lost in the manga since they did another sidestory...its like soo rediclous..i think they may have ended it..or at least the first arc of it but i dont understand it one bit. this manga sidetracks more than any manga i have ever read.

i know oh! great is working on air gear hardcore but come on.

[Gasaraki]

Yeah, Oh! Great freely sidetracks often with TJTG, still, I THINK I know what's going on.

And yes, like I've said before even though NO ONE NOTICED, Akagi is fucking awesome.

[Spirit Juice]

Tenjou Tenge... I really ought to catch up with it, but Oh! Great is such a lazy bastard and makes new chapters at a snail's pace. ;___;

If anyone can hook me up, send me a PM.

[Master Chibi]

Akagi is indeed fucking awesome. I'm only five episodes in, don't have A DAMN CLUE how to play Mahjong, but fuck is it ever addictive.

<3

[Gasaraki]

Spirit Juice, use #lurk.

@ MC: Haha, yeah seriously the game confuses me and the explainations in the show only help a little bit, but the way it's told is gripping haha.

[Mr. Bastos]

Akagi is indeed fucking awesome. I'm only five episodes in, don't have A DAMN CLUE how to play Mahjong, but fuck is it ever addictive.

<3

I just watched episode 17 and I think its dopesauce.

Have you ever played the card game rummy? Mah Jong can be compared to that. sorta similar. It's really easy to pick up, I learned one day while watching some friends play. When me and my friends started playing at the place where I play Magic, we taught like 3 people to play in like 30 minutes. but I still don't know how to play points, though I've been told its not too hard to calculate. and thats the Chinese way the Japanese style of Mahjong looks even more crazy with the point system. though the Chinese version is more common Akagi makes me want to learn the Japanese way too.

[Master Chibi]

Finally downloaded the first 8 episodes of Kamichu.

It's sooooooooooo fucking adorable. Really, really, really cute stuff that I totally fall for.

I originally didn't watch it because it was when h.264 was popping up everywhere, and my previous computer sucked SO MUCH ASS that watching it was a real fucking annoyance, so I just put it aside.

On top of that, the shit's in HD, literally takes up 85% of my damn screen WHEN ITS NOT MAXIMIZED. Damn.

Also catching up Akagi (still great shit), waiting for the next H&C, SR II 23, and Ouran 22.

It's nice to be excited about anime again ^_^.

[orka]

Tenjou Tenge... I really ought to catch up with it, but Oh! Great is such a lazy bastard and makes new chapters at a snail's pace. ;___;

If anyone can hook me up, send me a PM.

Actually, the latest chapter marks the end of the second "past" arc. They get a couple new allies (both pretty cool), and the story is about to enter final phase... or at least that's what it said on the side of the Ultra Jump page. Well, it's been over 8 years and 15 volumes so I guess it's about time to get wrapped up. I'd say another year or two at most?

[Shizuma_15]

you guys gotta check out coyote ragtime show well imo i think its good. :lovin:

[Gasaraki]

^I dunno, I DLed an episode and it was such a pain in the ass to get it to actually fuckin play(I HATE gg fansubs) and it ended up not even being that great. It seems like typical action show fluff.

Oh yeah, I got some Ikki and Ringo gashapons the other day too. Great poses, but I think I like the Ikki one the best. My only gripe is 2 weird discolorations on Ringo's shoulder and the right side of her hip, but it's less noticeable in some lighting, and even then it's just a gashapon so it's to be expected to an extent.

Ikki (http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/1456/agikki1tw0.jpg) / 3 (http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/8663/agikki3wu9.jpg)

fuckin sweet christ. it could go longer, but clearly air gear is his main focus right now. since thats the only one going at a normal pace. Its sad since he made his bread and butter on tenjou tenge. And its a real shame for us fans who love tenjou. But at least he will hopefully refocus his energy.

The last arc..his style changed wayyy too much. like the only thing that even looks oh!great is the extreme detail in his art and the girls. he like has two different styles for his mangas and thats not sumtin we normally see in manag. american comics ya but not mangas. its almosst an expermientation..lots of use of darks. and it all started wit the last arc.

[ReggieHadoken]

OK, what happend to Shin-Chan? It was only on for 2 weeks and then it gets taken off and for some gay InuYasha filler eps? Feh.

Well Bleach starts airing on [as] this Saturday. So pretty soon I'm sure we'll be hearing about how much the dub voices suck from the super duper hardcore fans that have been watching the show for years. Mind you, I doubt all the fans will feel this way, but it just gets annoying after a while and I don't wanna get into the whole sub/dub war thing.

Big O just isn't the same without the opening theme. Freaking [as] taking out intros to make room for more dumb commercials.

shouldve downloaded from shinsen :p

[Gasaraki]

Shinsen wasn't subbing them when the series first started. I didn't even realize they were doing it now. Anyway it's barely a better option since Shinsen's subs are crap anyway =/

[orka]

i dropped coyote ragtime show after four episodes because the drop in the quality after the first episode is so ridiculous to the point where it's almost painful. i'd say the first episode was a sneaky, filthy way to decieve us. D:

the ironic thing is, the only series that i'm still watching from the late summer season is nhk ni youkoso!

Dude, seriously what's so good about that show?



The series is on indefinate hiatus. Why would you make a thread when a new chapter hasn't come out in 8 months?

Well he COULD ask Gon HOW he uses his Jajanken and Gon being the nice guy he is cuz Chrollo isn't THAT much of a dirty fighter could just explain it to him & Chrollo would master his ability.

OK, I recently started watching Wolf's Rain & am enjoying it at the moment, HOWEVER...can someone spoil this tiny little thing for me plz?
Is the final battle(s) gonna be fought Wolf vs. Human/bio-freak/wolf or Human vs. human/bio-freak?

[Master Chibi]

Dude, seriously what's so good about that show?

Check out the clips on the playlist (except the ending montage, spoilers!).

http://youtube.com/watch?v=lV9-tKg49JQ

The show's about these monsters that go around killing much whoever they feel like, and the monster hunters that are after them. The thing is that there's a new breed of monsters that take the form of humans, and well let's just say one of the hunters falls for one of said human monsters, and things go from there.

It's pretty much not like anything out right now, and I doubt you've seen much anything like it. I don't mean to praise it too much, as there are only two episodes out, but I just suggest you check it out.

:D

but will say that the last 4 eps are very intense.

I just saw the final 2 ep. of samurai champloo...if you have not seen it GO SEE IT...one of my favorite animes.

[Master Chibi]

I haven't yet Gas, sorry.

I just downloaded the first eighteen episodes of Maison Ikkoku.

God I am such a huge fucking sucker for Rumiko's older stuff, especially because of the music, it totally fucking kills me. I fall head over heels for it, I really do.

[Akutabi Gamma]

@Chibi: Thanks for the info bro, might consider starting it in the near future :tup:
@Tempest: Well OK, but it's just that that it would be friggin' cool to see Wolf vs. Wolf/Bio-freak
@RodJ: IMO the last episodes were cool, but not to the point that they 1337 GIGAZZ, but damn the Baseball episode is fucking hilarious....

Inu Yahsa
Midori No Hibi

I've been reading it for a while, the only reason I didn't start watching it when I heard of the anime is cause I also heard it follows the manga exactly so not much point in watching it. It gets really weird and rather depressing later on, but it's stil intresting.

[Atb_555]

Any cool recent mecha anime anyone could recommend? I've only seen:

Gundam Series (well most lol)
RaXephon (not that great)
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Sousei No Aquarion

Might check out Full Metal Panic

Hey does any one know where I could find subtitles for Solid State Society, I have it but of course it's all in Japanese. It's coming out in DVD here in the states like some time in 2007 soooo... if any one could help me out and let me know where you found a subtitled version or the file that goes in all the popular video players. Thanks! By the way I have like Melty Blood the fighting game if any one wants a reason to answer, I'll hook you up with the ISO. Thank!

[SlaughterX]

I just got Vols. 1-6 (SE) of GitS: SAC 2nd GIG on tuesday, now I jsut need to wait for the last vol. to come out at the end of this month and I'll be ready for SSS... :) Anyone interested in disc only (real) copies of the original discs? I have the entire first season and almost of the 2nd for sell or trade...

Super illegal discussion man spotted! No subs have been released as of now anyway, at least not publicly. Bandai publicly stated any subbing will not be tolerated, and they will be sueing subbers. So there it is.

Anyone caught the Adult Swim Premiers? Fucking SOLD. I am a Trinity Blood fan for life. Bleach looked cool, but I'm too hooked on Blood to have really sat and watched it. I'll catch it later tonight when they show it again.

[Warpticon]

I was actually really impressed with the Bleach dub. Only saw the second half of Trinititty Blood, so didn't really get it.

[Shade]

It comes on again at 2 am Est. I suggest you watch it FOR AMERICA.

[Hokuto no Jeffro]

It comes on again at 2 am Est. I suggest you watch it FOR AMERICA.

So the anime is good? People said it was bad because the author died before it was released. I like the main character. Like Vash + Testament. Cold mutherfucker tho.

I can only base my opinions on the first ep. It was pretty rad. I cant judge the series as a whole. The author of the original Novel did pass shortly after work on the anime started. But with content already available, I dont see what the issue would be with it in the absence of the author.

[ReggieHadoken]

Well, I have officially been exposed to Bleach, via [as]. The plot is interesting, if a little cliche. I was impressed. Ichigo's voice is done by the dude who doe's Renton & Vash's voices from Eureka Seven & Trigun. I didn't recognize it at first during commercial previews, but when I was watching, I'd regocnized the voice.

[Mrb0Y]

I can't let this go unsaid, I'm sorry but the Adult Swim basterdized versions of these shows are what drive this "Illegal" fansub community to do what they do. First if the show hasn't been licensed in North America there is nothing illegal about it. Granted SSS was simultaneously licensed in Japan and the US so it would be illegal to fansub it. Any way Adult Swim blows. :lovin:

I have the 6th Disc GitS 2cnd gig, it's been out for a while. I downloaded it and haven't watched because I'm waiting for netflix to send me the 5th disc so I can finish up. Oh by the way I have "Blood+ One Night Kiss" the game for PS2 and I can't figure it out. Any one else have it?

Don't get me wrong I'm not hating on any one because they watch Adult Swim just try not to get so excited about it. It's cool if your 10, because that's what the Cartoon Network does makes anime safe for "kids". I know you hate what I'm saying but I know some where deep in the fibre of your soul you know what I'm saying is true. So cast off your filthy Cartoon Network watching habits and join the rest of the free world and indulge your self in fresh new unedited anime from Japan before it gets pastuerized by the corporate machine that is "The Cartoon Network" *breath* - "Adult Swim" eat my kiester! :arazz:

get the fansub versions people

ya i finally saw the new Guyver Eps on you tube, its not as good as the old Guyver but its still good.

[orka]

actually, if people really cared... they'd buy the official dvd's. fansubs is okay as long as the series is not licensed or distributed in the states yet.

but let's be honest and shed some cash if you really like a show. people shouldn't be searching for something like azumanga daioh or noir fansubs today.

I have the 6th Disc GitS 2cnd gig, it's been out for a while. I downloaded it and haven't watched because I'm waiting for netflix to send me the 5th disc so I can finish up. Oh by the way I have "Blood+ One Night Kiss" the game for PS2 and I can't figure it out. Any one else have it?

Don't get me wrong I'm not hating on any one because they watch Adult Swim just try not to get so excited about it. It's cool if your 10, because that's what the Cartoon Network does makes anime safe for "kids". I know you hate what I'm saying but I know some where deep in the fibre of your soul you know what I'm saying is true. So cast off your filthy Cartoon Network watching habits and join the rest of the free world and indulge your self in fresh new unedited anime from Japan before it gets pastuerized by the corporate machine that is "The Cartoon Network" *breath* - "Adult Swim" eat my kiester! :arazz:

why not just buy the dvds??? thats uncut , better sound and animation then fansubs?

I can't let this go unsaid, I'm sorry but the Adult Swim basterdized versions of these shows are what drive this "Illegal" fansub community to do what they do.

Nah son. Subs are cool as temporary solutions to watching stuff in advanced, or whatever. But Official, uncut DVD releases > Fansubs. Thats just the truth.

And stop hating on [as] anime. They do a damn fine job of doing barely ANY censoring/cutting. You see almost everything nowadays, even Shin-Chan's damn penis. Stop trying to diss something to look cool. Form your own opinion. And remember, Cartoon Network and [as] are two "seperate" networks. CN 10+, [as] 17+.

What do you mean the "original"? Do you mean the manga? Because the first episodes of the anime are very similar to the manga. If you're talking about Samurai X, well that came way AFTER the TV series was finished.

[Atb_555]

Any cool recent mecha anime anyone could recommend? I've only seen:

Gundam Series (well most lol)
RaXephon (not that great)
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Sousei No Aquarion
Eureka 7

Might check out Full Metal Panic

Anyone?

[Spirit Juice]

I concur that the Kenshin OVAs 1 & 2 (which are actually supposed episodes 1-4 of the Rurouni Kenshin series) is much better than the anime. Not to say that the anime was bad, as it was pretty good until after the Kyoto arc was completed. The OVA that was a recap plus the end of the series wasn't as great as the first two, but it was still pretty good. Kenshin OVAs 1 & 2 (Trust and Betrayal) is pretty much my favorite anime movie of all time. Even after watching it so many times, the emotions of the characters conveyed through the anime get me every time. So sad. :sad:

I have a question, when is the next anime convention in l.a.?

[Hokuto no Jeffro]

Tenjo Tenge is confusing the fuck outta me. Can we get back to the modern time? Please? I'm sick of these mutherfucking flashbacks on my motherfucking manga.

[orka]

to me it kind of sounds like they're trying to sell off excess discs that resulted due to recent influx of boxsets... but that's still a pretty sweet deal. :tup:

thinking of buying 10 dvd's right off the bat is a bit tough though.

[orka]

it is back in modern time if you're up to date with the latest chapter. and i really liked the last past arc, because it actually answered a lot of questions that remained murky for a long time. and the gekiga style tenjho tenge was actually pretty cool. i think i posted about it several pages back, but story is about to enter its final phase.

[orka]

satoshi urushihara released a new art book :wink:

[WasFemto]

I gotta look at my check next week. I could finish Samurai Champloo and Koi Kaze.... and maybe Ippo.

There's only nine KOR Tv boxsets as well. FUCK BEING BROKE. I'm reading the manga but I like oldschool anime as well....still need to pick up the rest of Maison Ikkoku before it's too late...

bob aka raven from tekken 5 haha.

i mean its cool that oh!great did some designs for tekken resurrection, but did the man have to turn bob into raven. dude got striaghjt lazy on tenjou tenge compared to air gear.

bob was getting all beastly then he gets punked the fuck out...cant have an overpowered black man in japan.
fuckers.

i also came to the conclusion he has a.d.d...he goes on these rediculous flashbacks that arent like a month or two..but fuckin like a year or two...who the fuck does that on a flashback?!

man he's lucky is art is too beastly to ignore..i dunno how those japanese teens stick wit it.

[0746]

Is there any other mangas like Death Note? Thats the only one I read and I thaught it was really good.

[Spirit Juice]

The reason why Oh! Great cut Bob's dreads is because he was getting tired of drawing them. :rofl:

nope , but don't know if ya know,but death note the anime is comming out next month.

and since the manga over, and madhouse is doing it, the chances of it following the manga to the letter is very good.

another new sleeper show thats out is called
black bloodbrothers.

peace

Kenshin's first love was Tomoe Yukishiro, and her brother was Enishi. From what I've heard, the Kenshin vs. Enishi fight was straight up incredible in the manga. What was shown in Reflection was really short and dumbed down compared to the manga version of it. This makes me realize how badly I need the manga.

Ignore tempest.

2 manga similar in style to Death Note are Monster and 20th Century Boys by Naoki Urasawa. You are on your own for finding them, though-- both have been liscenced for a while, but they shouldn't be too hard to locate.

[Gasaraki]

Yeah, I second Stabby's recomendation, I was just about to say those ones myself.

its just with him..everything doesnt look like ur normal manga. like it looks like an american comic that took a month to draw. i cant fathom how he draws that well in only a week...i seriously think he's a freak of nature. but ya he draws everything so insanly well...and gets annoyed by bobs hair? wtf kinda shit is that?

[Gasaraki]

Well, TJTG is monthly, he doesn't draw that in 1 week. As for Air gear, I don't know if that's weekly, bi-monthly, or monthly. Either way he does work on both series at once.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean for it to sound so rude, but you said no when he asked if there were similar series, and it was kind of my knee-jerk reaction.

[The Damned]

So, I finally finished Hunter x Hunter up to the current point of 260--I actually thought I had finished it when it came to 249, but then I saw the other 12 episodes--and I have two major objective questions and one major subjective questions. The latter, subjective question has to do with something concerning Hatsu types since I'm considering doing a fanfic for it.


Was there any reason for why Karuto seems to know about Nen before Killua? He can at least use Zetsu and probably Shuu given that he cut that steel rope with a paper fan. His little paper technique then might even be his Hatsu, but his Hatsu (if he actually has anyway) was proposed by Hisoka to have found Abengane. Still, was there any given reason in the Official Book why Karuto knows Nen while the "most talented" person in the family didn't? I would guess that their mother has something to do with it, but so little is known about Kikyou....
Is aura visible or not? I don't feel that's what I initially wanted to ask, but it has been bugging me, and I can't remember the only objective other question. I ask mainly because of the fact that the Heaven's Arena 200+ above floors all dead with Nen and "Nen baptism" seems well-known enough, despite the fact that the only Hunters are supposed to know about Nen. Does anyone that watches know about Nen? Only the judges? Even the judges? Only the fighters? It just seems really unclear, and it sort has to do with my subjective question. So I want to know if there was any definite answer.


And here is my subjective question:

What does everyone think is the weakest type of Hatsu? I mean weakest in terms of what the "average person" could think to come up with.

I personally think that its Transformation type, despite not thinking much about Emission until recently--I still think that Emission is the second worst, but if the 14 Devils are really part of Emission, then Emission doesn't even really suffer from being horrible at Materialization and it has a sort of monopoly on range.

Transformation type, the only hand, might as well be the opposite of Emission given that the aura seems to always have to be close to the body. It doesn't really help as gauge that the only Transformation users, Hisoka and Machi and Killua, have been exceptionally strong anyway--oh, I guess I forgot Biske, but I still don't why she's Transformation. (Is it because she can transformation nen into cream? I still can't believe she has such a useless in-battle ability.)

But, yeah. Transformation gets screwed when it comes to opposites, especially since Manipulation does seem a bit broken given Shalnark's ability.

It's merely that I've been thinking of Transformation a lot, and it doesn't seem to have much going for it Hatsu-wise. I could post up my ideas if so necessary.

[maxx]

Yes, it always has been.

explains why the art is soo good compared to sumtin like naruto or bleach. i wish their was more info on oh!great online..its hard to find info on him.

[Gasaraki]

Seriously, he doesn't even have any artbooks. Only thing I've found is one of hte volumes of comickers that hasnt' been translated has some of his original stuff.

[tempest]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean for it to sound so rude, but you said no when he asked if there were similar series, and it was kind of my knee-jerk reaction.

Death Note is very similar to Monster and 20th CB, and those manga are probably why I couldn't get into Death Note in the first place.

its cool man i was rushing to work any when i read his post.

what was wrong with monster and 20thcb????

[Stabby]

Nothing was wrong with them, but I enjoyed them much much more than Death Note because the guy that made them had a better concept of pacing and significance. They are all suspense titles, but IMO Monster and 20CBs were so far ahead of DN, that I couldn't stand it.

Just catch Ouran at youtube. All the episodes up to 23 are on it, just make sure you avoid the FRoP fansub group ones, they're crap. And yes it's a fucking HILARIOUS show

[maxx]

maburaho is such a fun series..i love it. I never got to finish it..damn anime network took it off like 3 episodes from the final..fuckers. but defintly recommend it...its a cute series.

i saw bleach finally...the dub..not bad..only voice i dont like is ichigo...sounds too deep for my taste. but everyone else seems ok.

[GC!?]

YO Ouran owns so fucking hard, I am fucking SERIOUS, if you aren't watching this shit you are 1,000,000% missing out on some really, really fucking funny shit.

i watched 15 minutes of the first episode and it seemed to have an excessive amount of yaoi/bishie stuff.

[orka]

Why would anybody care if Bob lost his dreads in Tenjho Tenge?? I'm pretty sure it had nothing to do with Oh! Great being "lazy" or anything, because every single panel of of that manga has stuff that's way more detailed than Bob's hair. If anything, I would assume that Bob's hair would be one of the easier things to draw. And Bob's been seen in that new hair cut for... like... 3 pages so far? Also, I personally think Bob looks much better in his new do.

Not like it really matters, though, since it's been quite obvious by this point that he's not important to the central plot. About the only thing he's significant for is the mere fact that he's Nagi's best friend. So we probably won't be seeing him do much for the rest of the manga except for being Nagi's supporter at the side. And funnily enough, Chiaki has seemingly disappeared off the radar lol.

Also, if anybody is up to date... the 2 new characters are pretty awesome.

he specifically said he got annoyed/tired of drawing his dreads.

his new hair is a nod to the fact he was drawing some redesigns for the tekken resurrection game on psp.

where the hell are u getting tenjou tenge updates? i only got stoptazmo for tenjou tenge.

[orka]

when and where did he actually say that he got tired of drawing bob's hair? and as for the dark resurrection thing... did he design something for raven? i know he designed a costume for asuka and yoshimitsu back in t5, but i didn't know he did anything new for dr.

i download the raw ultra jump scans as they come out. torrents are usually available on multiple sites.

i usually delete the scans once i buy the manga though.

[The Damned]

I remembered my Hunter x Hunter question besides the other three:

Can anyone explain, precisely, how Selection is conducted? It seems like the nen baptism of the 200th floor of Heaven's Arena, but I don't understand what those "egg" things are in the palace's courtyard are supposed to be.

[Gasaraki]

i watched 15 minutes of the first episode and it seemed to have an excessive amount of yaoi/bishie stuff.

It does have that stuff, but all the yaoi stuff is an act since their a host club. Seriously, watch it, it's hilarious and gets even funnier later on.

actually, maburaho is a bit old (like, 3 years i think?). all the dvd's are available in the states now. mahoraba aired in japan last fall.

[Gasaraki]

Got the names mixed up haha, but you know what I meant, hopefully.

[Debaser]

I know. Instead they made that shitty Christian Arc. Was there some sort of reason they went with that instead of following the manga?
From wiki:
The television series and manga series of Rurouni Kenshin up to the end of the Kyoto Story Arc, had been nearly identical in terms of plot with only minor differences. However, when the television series caught up to the manga in terms of story, the producers of the Rurouni Kenshin anime decided to diverge from Nobuhiro Watsuki's manga and create their own story and characters (ie filler) until they had enough material to adapt without catching up. The last arc of Rurouni Kenshin manga, the "Jinchū" story arc, has never been animated. Many fans felt the alternate stories and characters of the anime series were inferior to Watsuki's original storyline.

With his dreads gone, Bob looks like Dennis Rodman. That's why it's bad he shaved his 'do.

Negima is nowhere near to being a shoujo manga. :rofl:

It's a shounen manga all the way, that's why there's plenty of fanservice and TONS of fights. And as far as the fights go, they're incredibly awesome.

seriously where are u guys getting ur tenjou tenge manga?

[Gasaraki]

Well, I use either Tokyotosho for torrents of the latest stuff, or #lurk if I miss chapters. In orka's case, he just reads the raws so he's pretty much always ahead since fugu doesn't translate the chapters ASAP, I assume so that they will be somewhat better quality.

[WasFemto]

Fuck that Geneon sale.

Champloo and Ippo aren't part of it.


Might as well finish Koi Kaze tho' and probably get into Haibane Renmei and Requiem from the Darkness....


STILL fucking waiting on my Vagabond manga to arrive from the VIZ manga sale. I think since I ordered all the way up to vol.23 it won't get here until vol.23 is released :sad:

Scoring me the mother load on anime some lady traded inabout $1,000 worth of anime at one of my local Gamestops.

Yo Ouran is pretty fuckin dopesauce, thanks for recoomending it. I dunno why I slept on it for so long.

[Debaser]

Apparently they're remaking the Guyver anime series if anyone's interested. In other news, I finally realized the symbol on Shin's eyepatch in Tenjho isn't a swastika. It actually means peace and tranquility in Buddhism. That's one hell of a disambiguation.

[Gasaraki]

The remade Guyver anime has been finished for a while, the first DVD is coming out in the US in November I believe.

As for the "swatstika" thing, that's because the Nazi's stole the symbol and twisted it into their own meaning. And of course because of that, shit like Neji's curse seal has to be censored haha.

when and where did he actually say that he got tired of drawing bob's hair? and as for the dark resurrection thing... did he design something for raven? i know he designed a costume for asuka and yoshimitsu back in t5, but i didn't know he did anything new for dr.

i download the raw ultra jump scans as they come out. torrents are usually available on multiple sites.

i usually delete the scans once i buy the manga though.

it should be in the issue where his hair changed..its at the end of the tradeback i believe.

also i heard he did sumtin for lili but cant find a drawing for lili or even dragonov.

i think the raven haircut was just a nod to the fact he was doing tekken 5 stuff...not to say he did anything for raven in tekken.

Hey, OOORRRKKKAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Question about Galaxy Angel, which came first, the anime or the manga?

Does the anime EVER include that commander from the manga, or is it purely just slapstick / comedy?

I enjoy both, but I'm leaning towards the manga simply because of the romantic factor involved.

;p
