[tempest]

A4L just released epiosde 8 today. Great episode btw.
yea well shows licesned so i'll wait watch it rest of it.
i hope it comes out around may that help my budget since i'm collecting 16 to 17 shows but thanks for the info.

[Sano]

What are some good fighting series? I'm getting tired of Naruto and I know almost the whole story for Tenjou Tenge.

If you are into more serious/realistic Anime, I recomend Ninja Scroll TV Series. The budget for this Series was very high, you don't have to watch the Movie to follow it(but you should still see the Movie), the villains are even wilder than the Movie, and the series ends in a way you wouldn't expect.

The New Fist of the Northstar OVAs are... not that good, but I'll buy the official versions anyway because Fist of the Northstar needs the support in the US. We never go the entire Anime Series, the Director's cut of the Movie, or the complete Manga(Raijin Comics dropped out of the US Manga scene entirly) so Fist needs the love. I prefer the TV Series over anything, which I have Fan Subbed. Still, nothing beats the original Manga.

Whatever happened to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Anime series being released in the US? I got the first DVD, and haven't seen any other ones in the stores since. In the US, they were supposed to released the New JoJo series First and the older Series second, since the Manga was never released in the US, the story would flow better for us. Anyway, what happened?

[aa_overmind]

We just gotten Chrono Crusade and FOTNS OVA at work.

The box looks good and good price, but sucks because it doesn't include anything extra besides the DVD. Wow, FOTNS OVA only holds 3 dvd's, that series is hella short.

We are going to get Ikki Tosen soon, I like that special package deal with the Bead and the towel ( Im a sucker for awesome Gift packaging ).
I'll try to watch it, im a fan of fan service.

only reason to pick up ikki is the pencil borads there the reverser covers of the japanesse dvds which showboobs and etc. for show itself i'll rank it under realbouthighschool thats how bad it sucks . i will pick up cc/artbox since its sturdy kind and seems be good show. i hope that peacekeepers and dnangel boxes are sturdy has well.
just order Stellvia ,Paranoia Agent and Tsukihime from righstuf since they have geneon sale wish it was 40% off could finish off alot of backlog shows.oh well hope for bandai/mediablasters sale soon ^_^ huge kudos for bandai releaseing 2 gundamseeds dvds bimonthly with ghost in shell andwolfrain. peace

[ytwojay]

Now that Full Metal Alchemist has been licenced, where can I find Anime-Keep's torrents for the series?

Actually, where can I find it at all?

[Stabby]

Anyone that wants more info on Elfen Lied, just PM. The series is too good.



I actually read up to chapter 222 of HxH the other day, and that series had a few sketches of Naruto in it. It was by the guy that did Yuyu, and the series is highly recommended. But the current arc is very, very similar to the Cell saga of DBZ.

I need to finish up Beserk. I'm only on Volume 23 or so. I need another long-running series to read. Any suggestions, people? GANTZ, Beserk, HxH, Naruto, OP, 20th Century Boys, and Monster are all under my belt already, and tenjou tenge is hella not my tastes.

[ThE CRoW]

thinking of picking up gundam seed, hoping theyd have a box set for all the episodes. I enjoyed wing, but could anyone tell me if the seed series was good as well?

aa_overmind: what's the bead look like? was thinking of picking that up as well, ikki i mean. but i haven't seen that kind of package anywhere on the net.

We haven't received it to the store yet, so Im waiting for it to arrive so I can use my discount to buy it. The more stuff available the better.

I hope the towel looks cool too.

[ThE CRoW]

can you order it online?

[aa_overmind]

Im sure you can, try your favorite online DVD place like www.dvdplanet.com and Im sure they have some left, they may have better prices too.

I don't want to since I get the LE box for $28 instead of $44 at work. So Im just waiting.

[ThE CRoW]

ah, sweet man.. thanks for the link. it has most of the dvds I wanted. Is it reliable though?

[tempest]

the beads is just ear ring the towel is sports . there ok extras the pencil borads is better. you can get the dvd/artbox for 34 bucks on righstuf useing the coupen code tsukiko
good till 26 of this month. its very realibe i use it the most.

i would get gundam seed its far better then wing. and the dvds are bimonthly and seeing the release format you get 2 dvds like vol2 and 3 comming out oct,4and 5 out in dec.

stabby nice manga list hmm i don't know how to add something thats above that level . now anime might want try Paranoia Agent (yes i'm hyping this series to the max) and might want try
Requiem from the Darkness i hear its very good for being such a unknown show.
i still say that geneon makes the best boxes.. (looks at the Stellvia box)

[ThE CRoW]

tsukiko? any other recommended series? I enjoy stuff like Naruto, but not sure what else to look at besides dbz

[tempest]

oh i'm sorry righstuf does studio sales and use coupen codes this week its geneon sale and code to use is tsukiko. hmm try kenshin you like that just get ova first ova, 1 and 2d season and try rent 3rdseason its filler season which suckd peace

[ThE CRoW]

is it alright if I use it? I thought coupons only worked for people who have ordered before? thanks for all the info and sorry for any trouble.

[tempest]

nahh just make account and order that easy . no trouble at all

[aa_overmind]

ah, sweet man.. thanks for the link. it has most of the dvds I wanted. Is it reliable though?

Yeah they are very realiable, Ive ordered from them before.

They also have awesome prices on animes too.

[ThE CRoW]

was surprised they had hentai

[ThE CRoW]

this is probably stupid, but can anyone help me on this whole region thing? I look at some of the dvds at some sites and they have different regions.. how do you know which one is compatible with your dvd player?

[tempest]

were regin 1 . r2 is japanesse dvds .

[tempest]

oh anything thats r0 is nothing you wont that be hk dvds which sucks with bad animation since they pump more eps then dvd can hanlde and they subs suck. hope the info helped

[ThE CRoW]

is there any way to play japanese dvds without having to buy a japanese dvd player?

[tempest]

is there any way to play japanese dvds without having to buy a japanese dvd player?
now do you mean r2 dvds or fansub?
and yes you can mod your dvd but depands what kind player and all.

but i need say this
r2 dvds cost ALOT MORE then r1 like like 60 on up for dvd which have 2 or 3 eps and have no subs,but the animation level is superb , and the packaging is awesome to but to me in my opinion i'll stick with r1 dvds more eps and less money. peace

[ThE CRoW]

r2 dvds. anyone know if flame of recca is finished?

[Dios <-X->]

anyone know if flame of recca is finished?

finished as, in general? the series is over? its been over if thats what you mean, the last episode is # 43 or 44 or something like that, saw them years ago, good shit, though it ends in a way you would think more is coming, sadly i think the idea was scrapped.

[ThE CRoW]

damn, I thought it was still being produced. Not sure, but there's supposed to be a new Gundam series or special right? with one of the main characters from SeeD.

[Shin Akuma]

Does anybody know when the Noth American movie theatre release for Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence is ? I saw a commerical for it a couple of days ago. I'm anxious to watch this after seeing the original Ghost in the Shell. I've heard some dissapointing things about this one though, mainly what characters appear and when they appear in GitS 2:Innocence (if you've seen the Japapnese release on DVD (with optional subs), then you should know what I'm talking about). So what I want to know is, is this movie worth watching?

[Sano]

So what I want to know is, is this movie worth watching?

In New York City it's playing in 2 Theaters. One on 42nd Street between Seventh and Eight, another on Houston St. Between First and Second Ave. It's playing now, started last Friday.

Is it worth seeing? Yes. Any and all Anime released in Movie Theaters that is not based on a Saturday Morining Cartoon needs the support. What's good for the Anime industry is good for us, makes it more accesible to the public.

But aside from that, I really loved the movie, even better than the first one. The first one followed the Manga and if you've read the Manga, there wasn't too much of a point in seeing the Movie. This one worked between the Manga, between Ghost in the Shell 1 and 2, and was not a cheesey sequel. What I mean is, they did not hurry up to get a fake Motoko Kusanagi but made Batou the main character. They did not re-fashion Batou and making him stronger, bigger, cooler, it's the same exact Batou. There's lots of other great stuff, but I don't want to spoil everything. The story is really great, a must see. More for people who like Pat Labor Movies with all the dialog, I'll point out. If you are looking for 2 Hours of straight up action, look elsewhere.

Besides all of this, the visuals are spectacular. There will be times you will think you are watching Live Action.

I will say that I prefer the TV show - Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex to both of the Movies. It gives you the best of the Manga World and the best of the serious looking Movie World.

A side note - No matter where you go, the Movie is in Japanese with Subtitles. While I found the speed of the Subtitling OK because I can keep up/am used to it, my friend who is not used to subtitles couldn't keep up. How can you tell if you are up to speed on reading subtitles? If you saw Hero in a Movie Theater and thought the subtitles were too fast, you are not ready.

Apparently FMP season 3 is going to be made, damn gauron die already

[tempest]

i wonder why gonzo makes another season of fmp but not another hellsing which is most asked show at there booths at cons

[FatalFuryD]

That's 'cause they don't actually give a damn about American audiences like they say they do.

their point of view, I assume:
FMP novel: #3 selling soft novel
Hellsing: old shows

[tempest]

by the way looking at the box and cover art for first 2 dvds is peacemaker anygood scale 1 to 10 be good.

To any of you who have bought anime over the internet, is DiscountAnimeDVD.com a good place to buy this:

Naruto Boxset (FX) - Eps. 1-76 (http://www.discountanimedvd.com/detail.asp?dvdno=9816)

...or is there a better place. Oh and are there hidden shipping costs or something. Well on the site it's $99, so it sucks to live in Canada because that would come out to about $126 :sad: .

ummm no i wouldn't buy it 76 eps on 9 dvds means instant death to animation since its hk dvd they cram ungodly amount of eps on single layer dvd . 5 eps on dvd is max a dvd rom can hanlde. subs i bet are wrong has well like names and all be all screwed. i believe somebody from naruto thread brought hk dvd and even said the names were all screwed. its up to you if you want buy it but be warned you be wasting your money .
i saw the whr, and scryed new collections... i want cry. :sad:

[dialupsucky]

So wheres tenjou tenge anime and manga wise about now?
Only saw up to like 10 or something of the anime. Is it still following the manga etc? Also have they changed anything, even if strange.(cough strange hair colors for characters that I am to lazy to mention)
Also wheres the manga last I saw was volume 12? Or something like that.

And Although I asked about it jsut a month and half ago or so, anything intresting in inchigo 100% lately???? Hopefully more tsukasa. T_____T

[HellSap]

wow, I dont really post here, but I just saw GITS2 in theaters and felt in the mood... hmm...

TJTG just got up to 13, Evil Genius is doing the t/l, just gets cooler
I lost track of the anime around ep 10 too, maybe the season ended?
the hair colors were alright, they switched around in the manga pictures anyway...

oh man, Ive only read 1 volume of ichigo 100%... need to snag some more of that

everyones seen 2x2 Shinobu-den right? coolest anime about lesbian ninjas... evar
Oh, and does anyone know how Monster the anime series is doing? is it all over, and how was it? Master Keaton was made into an anime awhile ago, wonder when 20th Century Boys will be made (probably long after the manga finishes...)

[tempest]

tenj,teng question anime and manga go there different ways but its still watchble i believe like fma.

monster is 70 eps and there in 20's now. shows doing very well. viz is said to have the manga i hope they don't have the anime hope geneon/bandai/ADV has it. monster is still one of the best shows of the year imho along with Elfen Lied /Paranoia Agent. peace

[Etcetera]

Fullmetal Alchemist is on the way in January
HOORAY!!!!!!!!

[Holy Knight]

Tenjou Tenge anime kind of broken up the pieces and traded them around when it comes to following the manga. The first season is going to finish off the past arc probably.

[dialupsucky]

Anyone want to explain the changes lol.

[Gasaraki]

I saw My HiME, awesome show so far. black haired girl with the black sword is way too awesome. :tup:

It has its moments, but I wouldn't spend good money to buy all the dvd's. Watching it once was enough for me, but if you like anime style romantic comedy, go for it.

I would also recommend please teacher (or onegai teacher) if you are interested in Ai Yori Aoshi.

Ah... well, when I was at an anime con I saw one or two music vids that featured Ai Yori Aoshi and it looked like something I might enjoy since I'm into that romantic crap. I also saw a few music vids of Please Teacher and it looked really... weird. But I'll give it a try too. Thanks.

I think the first and last DVD from Ai Yori Aoshi first season is worth getting. Second season and rest are kind of crappy.

[Spiderjericho]

Finished watching Big O Season I (Box Set). Pretty cool in the way it combines Batman and Japanese robot/future stuff (plus the underlying memory story). I haven't seen any of Season II, does it finish the story (no spoilers please).

Also watched Tokyo Godfathers. I'm not big of the non-action Anime (why watch it when you can watch live American TV like South Park, Chapelle, Reno 911, CSI, 24, etc), but it was a really well told story.

I don't have a personal computer, nor do I purchase series when they first come out (for the most part, some exceptions). I think its cheaper in the long run to just wait for the box set. I already have the first release of Neo Genesis Evangelion (Box Set), and I'll just wait till the Platinum is collected. A good example would be Excel Saga. I can get it for $57.99 at Best Buy vice paying the $20+ it cost to buy each of the volume. But I'm just rambling...

[Stabby]

Elfen Lied is like... Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Tenchi, and Chobits all mixed together into a series.

Basically, its about this guy and his cousin, and then this catgirl-ish thing shows up and lives with them. Only she is some sort of experiement... and, well, you'll see if you watch the beginning of the first episode. its incredibly gory, and cutesy, and disturbing all at the same time, while still being really candid.

Subs are by anime-fin. Hint hint.

season2 answers alot questionsjust watch carefully.
i understand where comming from waiting on boxsets and etc . sometimes i'll do that too(blackjack ova). but i mosty buy my anime online "righstuf" there specials are very good when they have bundle sale or stuido sale when things go 40% off like giant robo vol with box is 76 bucks with there sale i'm getting it for 44bucks. when you preorder you get it like 2 weeks before release date which is oct 12, . and upc brought to my house on the 4th.

[Spiderjericho]

Thanks Tempest.

I'll watch it when the boxset comes out (laughs). I purchase from Righstuff too. I bought the X bundle (you recommended), His and Her Circumstances, Gasarki Box set ($26), Rahxephon (whenever it was a Shawn's Deal of the Day)...

Once they collect Ghost in the Shell:SAC, Technolyze, Eva Platinum and a few others, I'll be elated...

WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW FOR NAURTO FANS!!! READ AT YOUR OWN RISJK!!!

I just started reading vol. 4 of Naruto. I've had it for a while but I've never gotten around to reading it. Since I just finished InuYasha vol. 19, I figured I'd stay on my manga reading kick. Naruto vol. 4 started off AWESOME. He's so ticked off that Sasuke is "dead" that he starts fighting using the power of the nine-tailed fox demon and Haku is getting his butt schooled. I guess the Naruto series is really hitting it's strides in vol. 4. It's also the most graphic I've seen the series get. When Kakkashi killed Haku by mistake, I'd never seen so much blood in a Naruto book.

[Holy Knight]

What do you guys think of this season's new anime?

Currently these seems interesting:

Gundam Seed Destiny
Gankutsuou
To Heart Remember my Memories
Mai Hime

Just saw Mai Hime. Seems interesting, of course, the animation really pulled me in. I know it wont hold up forever though.

Elfen Lied: Half Ero, Half Guro = ... Ego?
Honestly, I think I like it (will wait for conclusion), but you can just count the days until the /d, /g, and /l crowd have new mascots. Said counting may already in fact be negative days, for all I know.
Best anime of the season will be: Planetes... again. Har.

[Stabby]

/g/ loves it, its where I found out about the series.

[Starhammer]

Does anyone know where I can a bittorrent of Ghost in the shell 2: innocence at? Supernova doesn't work for me anymore any nowhere else has anything other than the teasers. That and does anyone know if GITS 2nd gig went past ep 14? I'd be greatly appreciative of the info.

[Crusader]

I watched the first DVD of Ai Yori Aoshi and I liked it... I liked it a lot in fact. The art and color are really really good. Maybe I just have a good DVD player + TV combo. I dunno.

Tempest, buddy, I gotta ask. Do you do anything else in your free time? That seems like a lot of boob time (not criticizing). Wow.

[Kromo]

watching:
naruto
samurai champloo
samurai 7
last exile

not a very good list...
what would all you "vets" reccomend?

[Stabby]

Thats good, I guess. Try Hunter X Hunter, which I think you can find at animesuki. I read the manga, and its a good series.

[Spiderjericho]

Still need to watch:

Gasaraki Complete Collection
Boogie Pop Collection
X TV Vol. 1-8
Last Exile Vol. 1-3
Millenium Actress
His and Her Circumstances Vol 1-5
Lain Vol. 1-2
Trigun Vol. 1
There's probably more too...

I'd like to say check out Right Stuff's weekly sales, as most of my purchases in the last year have been from there (along with bestprices.com).

[S.a.g.a]

s.a.g.a how do you like monster so far?

Since I'm a mainly an action oriented anime fan, though time has only allowed me to catch the first three episodes, Monster has proven to be a great change of pace.

A little slow paced at times, but really good. Everything is fleshing out well so far.

and yes give gungrave 2d chance after 2d vol i'm hooked.


Oh, I fell in love with Gungrave from the second episode, (It was sole reason why became bored with Naruto) but during that time, I had gotten my hands on a copy of the game it was based and pretty much spoiled myself by beating it, so I've neglected the series since then. I definitely have to finish it.

Any noteworthy recommendations? GantZ and Champloo monopolize a good amount of my spare time.

[Spiderjericho]

I'm interested in buying a few new boxsets. Can anyone provide feedback on the following:

Banner of the Stars Vol. I and II

[AlphaDragoon02]

Stuff I'm currently watching (SPOILERS ahead):





Samurai Champloo- Wish the damn ep. 17 would come out already...the last one was boring as hell up until the end, and then just when Mugen's about to whup ass, they screw you with "see you next week!" Also, starting over from the BEGINNING?! Boo. :tdown:



Cutie Honey OAV Ep. 2- WHAT THE HELL. They should seriously just make this into a effing yuri and be done with it. The nudity and such was for the most part in good humor...but then they pushed it. After that whole retarded fanservice thing with Honey and Na-chan naked and in a VERY compromising position ("Please Honey, feel my heart...." Horrible.) I'm certain of a few things:

- I'm damn sure Na-chan's a lesbian.
- I'm almost certain Honey's a lesbian.
- Seiji had a video camera taping the whole moment.
- With point 1 and 2, I'm almost certain they're gonna get together in the end in some horrid "cheesecake" way that makes lame otaku cream their pants.
- Gainax should die for disgracing an anime/manga legend with their BS.

[Hunter D]

Gisnt robo is comming out at the end of the month! I have waited years for this release!

[tempest]

Gisnt robo is comming out at the end of the month! I have waited years for this release!me too glad that mangle lost the licensed to the show. and i will say that giant robo has the most interesting box i have ever seen.

oh i do recommend that if you want buy the box with vol1 go to righstuf and use the sale code called "robo" your get it for 44 instead of 76 bucks.


s.a.g.a you could try

getbackers
Paranoia Agent
there both very good.

[catchafire]

Hey guys,
I'm looking for direct downloads for Champloo, Naruto, and FMA. Can anyone give me a link?

[S.a.g.a]

Thanks, Temp. I'll give them a shot.

Hey, is Real Bout High School any good?

Currently watching:

Just finished up to episode 9. It's pretty good so far. The english voices for Kirika and Mirelle are pretty good too.

[Starhammer]

I finally saw the 2nd GITS movie. Not quite as good as the first IMO, but nonetheless a good movie. I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it though.

[Kira Yamato]

hey does anyone know the site which had anime intros and endings? I cant remember the site name and lost the url, can anyone help me out? It had info on the anime, and pics for any anime that were submitted.

[tempest]

k just cought couple animes yesterday

last exile vol6 this series is so good i'm been hooked since after last ep of first vol1 only gripe is only one more vol to go :sad:

also got peacekeepers, box is pretty nice don't know bout the show itself i heard mix reviews, but same can be said about lunar legend which i like so i'll give the show a try since i only seen one eps which was poor fansub ep.


oh saw the pics for sc vol1 artbox for people who wanted to know vol1 has the japanesse cover, box color is orange spine has mugen, jin, and fuu one side has japanesse characters don't know what the other side has. oh show has 5 eps and has dts track, and special item is bandanna.
speaking of boxes i also saw gundam zeta.. its long box.. looks be well worth the money ( hopes rightstuf has bandai sale be around that time.
oh hunter i already ordered giant robo vol1 with box , i hope get it by this week with PA. and if i do i'll give review of it( it better not be like the kenshins boxsets) i'll be pissed :tdown: peace

[SuperTaco]

im watching samurai champloo but they are taking a break (or something i dont know anything about making of the anime) till fucking JANUARY im so pissed and
im watching samurai 7 ,which is underated, i think its hot
bleach is pretty good
i dont read any manga cause i hate reading

[JAMMAR]

Champloo needs to move over anyway, because Bleach is the new hotness.

[tempest]

here couple bad news today well this week.

fma vol=box been pushed back till first week of feb cause of production for the tin box is behide, but the fma sit has been updtaed with clips which are dub i like the dub voices but eds its alright but just seems like the dub actor is pushing it little to hard.

hunter giant robo big eyeball box has been pushed back till middle of nov for same reason has fma, but first dvd will be out nextweek.

spider jericho righstuf has adv sale this week till 31 i guess its perfect time collect Kaleido Star and finish up on azu series, hate the fact that dnangel box is not : chipborad but rather thin wish adv make up its mind :tdown:
oh g4tv has gungarve, and ROD tv ,and soon have gadgurad next month,but i believe its like way lastexile was shown. play half of the series then wait till all the dvds are out before showing the rest . well done peace

[Holy Knight]

ROD is going to be shown this Saturday on CN I believe. If you haven't seen it yet, its worth the watch. :cool:

[InfiniDragon615]

Recently watched Gundam SEED Destiny ep. 2...Shinn is the truth. He makes a really, really badass appearance. :pray: This new series seems like it'll definitely do SEED justice. :tup:

[HellSap]

I'm interested in buying a few new boxsets. Can anyone provide feedback on the following:

Devil Lady
Banner of the Stars Vol. I and II
Soul Taker
Please Teacher

Devil Lady - Bleh, its just Devil Man but suckier
Soul Taker - wierd ass anime, stylish, sorta boring
Onegai Teacher - Ah! My Goddess with aliens instead

SEIKAI NO SENKI 1+2 - Crest of the Stars and Banner of the Stars is by far my favorite anime series... (unless I watch it again and it loses that 'effect') if you liked CotS you should like the 2nd series despite them being about different things. SnS is about the war in space, and SnS2 is about them surviving on land again. Still both are amazingly well done, since theyre really from this series of novels.


And on a side note of Naoki Urasawa's Monster...
The anime is one of the better manga->anime conversions, its like the manga... animated. Really really well done... "fleshed out" barely covers the extent that the entire story is developed... One cool part in the manga was every volume has a chart of all the characters linking how theyre all connected... And every so often it just expands and expands yet maintains its firm grip on where everything is going. The only problem is... the anime still has a long way to go. The pacing feels good for the story, but not how its only on ep 20 / 70 or so... Trust me, its worth watching/reading, but you may want to pick up the manga if the cliffhangers get to be too much after awhile.


And ROD rocks, I hope they wont censor anything and that the voices wont suck... even so, it will still be pretty cool.
Giant Robo... SWEET

[Spiderjericho]

Thanks for the recommendations Tempest and Hellsap. I've been trying to finish collecting Trigun and Record of Lodoss War (yes, I'm late). I did see Kino's Journey. Is that any good?

I got the rest of Serial Experiment Lain eps last week. I'm probably going to finish Last Exile since Tempest is always raving about (I've only seen the first episode, beautiful animation, but I guess the story doesn't start to pick up until later).

I want to get into Ghost in the Shell TV, Daioh, ROD, EVA Platinum, Giant Robo, FMA and Champloo. But I gotta go one at a time.

And is that Macross Zero ever coming out here?

kino is good very good its thinker type show.
lastexile is very good the only problem is they tease love triangle and don't follow through it.

go 2 start on 2 series!!! lol.
no macross zero has not been licensed.
i agree with helsp bout monster i hope geneon picks it up soon since they have all there bigger shows are comming out first of next year.

hellsp have you seen R.O.D tv yet?

[Crusader]

I'm watching a lot of shows at once:

Ai Yori Aoshi - great show, I love it
Evangelion Platinum - just as awesome as I remember it
Naruto (borrowed from a friend) - I like it so far, only seen first 5 eps
Video girl Ai (borrowed from a friend) - great show
Hanaukyo Maid Team (borrowed from a friend) - awesome show :lol:

EDIT: I'd also like to point out that I've never been watching 5 american TV shows at once and liked them all a lot. Anime is the best.

i have the second kenshin box (new) on sale (kyoto arc) on ebay right now

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=6332541465&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT

ends sunday night though...

if any srk'ers buy it now i'll give you 10 bucks off since i'd rather sell it to someone here then some random ugly guy.

also have intial d #8 on sale right now but it's overpriced since it's not supposed to come out for another month

[Gasaraki]

Anyone been watching Beck? I cannot wait to get to the episodes where they actually play, I'm intrested in seeing how good the band is that will play, whoever they are.

Naruto (borrowed from a friend) - I like it so far, only seen
I recommend you stop watching the anime and just read the manga, it's easier to find and doesn't have any RIDICULOUS fillers. But that's just my opinion

[ReggieHadoken]

Can anyone help me out with Astro Boy? I've become even more interested in this series since I've been playing the GBA game, Omega Factor. I know that it was the first manga that became anime and that it was originally aired in black & white but I'd like to see the manga of Astro Boy. I think there were 23 books total but I've never seen a single manga book in any store. I hear that the 1980s Astro Boy anime series is suppose to be released on DVD sometime in November so I think I'll pick that up when it comes out.

[UCRJesse]

naw man, keep watching the anime it's good. Plus you can watch all the episodes and you don't need to read anything. theres a few episodes that aren't in the manga but they're still pretty dope.

[Crusader]

I recommend you stop watching the anime and just read the manga, it's easier to find and doesn't have any RIDICULOUS fillers. But that's just my opinionNo way... I don't like manga that much. Anime is so much better with the color, music, actors... everything.

[tempest]

No way... I don't like manga that much. Anime is so much better with the color, music, actors... everything.
true ,but i do see what he means with fighting based anime like naurto ,and around that type of gene they throw in filler eps or filler seasons>thats what killed kenshin in japan. i wish some companies would borrow idea hunterxhunter does and do ovas if the show is catching up to the manga that way you can cut filler eps.imho

[Shin Akuma]

noir is very good if you liked first 9 eps your going love the rest i can't remember has chole shown up yet? its been about year and half since i watched it.

Chloe shows up in episode 10. I'm currently up to episode 23. 3 more episodes left. After finding out what happens between Mireille and Kirika I was like WTF?! LOL.

The only thing that dissapointed me was the lack of blood. For example, in one episode, Kirika supposedly gets shot in the arm because you see that there is a hole in her clothing (probably from a bullet that passed through and missed Kirika). This leads me to believe that she never actually got shot. But in the very next episode, you see her arm all bandaged up and she is still in pain, which leads be back to believe that she did get shot. But where was the blood from the bullet wound when she initially got shot? Same thing goes for when someone gets stabbed, be it a knife, sunglasses, or a fork LOL.

I know the director probably wanted to make this a tasteful anime but a litte more blood wouldn't hurt. Other than that, I think Noir is a really good anime.

thats way he wanted it i believe.
i agree that last flashback threw me i was like no way!.
you have watch R.O.D tv its very very good!

[Spiderjericho]

I'm watching Trigun right now. I just finished watching Vol.6. Need to go cop Vol. 7.

I noticed the story has been kind of following the manga. It just seems different in some ways.

I probably won't be getting any new Anime for awhile as I just started taking online courses and took advantage of the Toys'R'us buy two get one free sale (I probably bought like eight games...)

[HellSap]

Tempest - first ep didnt have The Paper and I never bothered catching the rest, cause the next 5 successive episodes had a mediocre review, but since I hear that it changes pace and gets better, I am rethinking my previous decision of not wanting to see it. Plus I saw a cap that had the first bit of the Read or Die manga.

And the naruto anime is bleh. Id read the manga, and rewatch the good fighting eps in the anime.

[tempest]

R.O.D is very good the paper sisters somewhat makeup for not having "the paper" which there is a reason why she not in start of the show. but after ep12 this show has passed the mighty lastexile has my fav show to watch. hell with reviews!!!. peace

[R.P.D rookie]

Man, I wish the new Inuyasha episodes would come on Mondays through Thursdays instead of only on Saturdays. I ready for that Inuyasha and Sesshomaru team up! :mad:

[ReggieHadoken]

ROD rocks. I saw last Saturday's ep. Agent Paper was so cute. :clap:

Just started reading Kenshin vol. 7. Saito showed up. Whupped Sano something fierce. :wow:

[Gasaraki]

Yeah Yomiko is the best character in the whole OVA/series. Forget Nancy, it's all about the girl with the glasses :tup:

[Crusader]

Man, I wish the new Inuyasha episodes would come on Mondays through Thursdays instead of only on Saturdays. I ready for that Inuyasha and Sesshomaru team up! :mad:
Well, your wish will be granted sometime in December...

[Stabby]

Best ROD TV character (Besides Yomi, of course.) is the male paper-user.

[tempest]

my favs have be maggie/anita i just love this show how they already showed most of the cast from the ova but for the main 2.

i agree wong is freaking beast(that is if thats the paper user talking about or donnie which i don't know if they show in series,i know they talk bout him since his from yomipast.

i just hated the way ep 12 ended. sad thing i heard eps 15 and 20 are worse cliffhangers. like i said in teentitans thread whoever let this show slip through fingers for AS needs be punched in face.

[tempest]

yes spider trigun/manga follow each other close only couple changes and most noticable is wolfswood/and chapel and what happns in vol 7 of the anime .

reggie your bout get into kyotoarc one of the best arcs in the anime , after be memories (flashback ova, then go into revenge arc. oh after when you read that arc remind yourself thank sony for not making into the anime.

oh yes new season of fmp is in the works and should be like first one i believe.

this week onAS is animatrix and next week is first ep of fma ( can't wait hear the fanboys cry bloody murder after first ep for some small detail mistake :lame:

[Hunter D]

I won't be able to buy Zeta box when it is released.

Now that Zeta and Giant Robo are comming out does anyone know if gunbuster and galactic heroes is comming out soon

[Spiderjericho]

Well, I finished watching Trigun last night. I guess as a series, it was okay (a grade of B). I looked at the first manga I had from Darkhorse (and a copy of Maximum whatever on the newstand), and it seems like the events were out of sequence. Though Tempest is probably right about it being pretty faithful.

I think the story and characters did a great job drawing me in to its world, as I don't know how many times I screamed kill the mozzletot Vash.

Does Maximum Trigun begin a new story?

Well, I still have a stack of series I need to watch, so I don't think I need to buy anything new just yet (besides I'm currently taking two classes, which should be my focus):

X
Serial Experiment Lain
Gasaraki
Record of Lodoss War
His and Her Circumstances
Boogie Pop Phantom

[tempest]

hunter for your 2 questions

mangle has gunbuster so i have no idea when you see it on dvd maybe somebody buy the license like giantrobo .

nobody has the other series thats like huge mess from what i understand so you see all macrosszero released here before G.H comes out.

i'm waitng for bandai sale from righstuf before i perorder gundamzeta then i could finish bigo 2/cots 3rdseason and love hina movies in one swoop and all 70% of my backlog done .just have wait for genoen sale next year finish couple shows and i need build newrack.
but you do know that gundam zeta has been pushed back till dec right?
thats pretty good list spider.
mine is growing.. but i'm glad of the shows i have is like 3 or 5 dvds so not so bad.
i hope i can finish shows from adv/bandia/geneon before scrapped princess comes out. peace

[Spiderjericho]

Tempest,

Like I said I'm going to hold off on buying anything. I've been spending a lot of money and I just started taking classes. I didn't appreciate most of the Trigun DVDs having only three episodes a disc. Keep in mind I bought the $14.99-19.99 discs. And before anyone cites Japan would pay $45 for one episode... I live in the U.S.

Discs I'd like to cop:

Big O Vol.2
Ghost in the Shell Innocence
Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex
RODTV
Evangelion Platinum
Technolyze
Last Exile Vol. 4-7

oh i know i understand what mean i was just saying thats why when i buy first vol i'll judge if i'llbuy it has it comes out or wait for bundle sale,.
and i saw in person the whr and .hack collection .. i want cry :sad:

[Warpticon]

You know, it's funny, but it's not that funny.

And it's cute, but it's really very original in the story or anything.

But for some reason, School Rumble just makes me so happy.

[Truong]

How does a piece of shit series like Trigun have so many fans??? Trigun pretentious as an anime can get. It's rediculously bad.

[Spiderjericho]

I thought Trigun was good (probably a B). It reminded me of Ruroni Kenshin in that the main character made a vow not to kill and wanted peace for everyone. I realize the show is pretty old, but I thought I'd give it a chance, since I've seen on this board and elsewhere that it was extremely popular. My only gripe was the large investment it takes to purchase the whole series (14.99 to 19.99 for eight discs). In comparison the upcoming Nadesco and Bubble Gum Crisis discs are a steal (in that you will only need to buy three discs to complete the series).

[HellSap]

Trigun is funny, and thats what brings in the fans.
the hero is cool and powerful enough to appeal to male fans, and girly enough sometimes to appeal to the female fans

Trigun manga and the anime are a bit out of order, Maximum happens after he blows up part of the moon, and stuff regarding that is a bit out of order, like he meets everyone in the gang before the angel arm happens...

[Gamer X]

I'm not going to call it a piece of shit anime but I don't get Trigun popularity either. To me it didn't get good until the last few eps but I will admit the last ep was the shit, but gun dual ever.


Right now I'm hook on Requiem from the Darkness, Chrono Crudade and ROD TV. I think I'm the only anime fan in the world who hasn't seen Neon Genesis Evangelion so I got the new remaster series that came out to see what is all the fus is about.

Oh yeah, can someone tell if Peace Maker, Ikki-Tousen and Paranoia Agent are any good cause if so they will be my next pick up.

[dialupsucky]

Oh yeah, can someone tell if Peace Maker, Ikki-Tousen and Paranoia Agent are any good cause if so they will be my next pick up.


I hope im not alone when i say, dude search, I cant count how many times tempest or myself or others has talked about ikkitousen in this thread. Its probably about 50 at least.

anyway ummm its not that good, but i guess if you need something to masterbate to(Albeit useing your imagination a bit)then go ahead.

[FatalFuryD]

Trigun(Slayers and Fushigi Yuugi, too) IMO was one of the shows that got more popularity than it deserves, because it was out during the mid-90s anime boom. You can mix watch episodes, and not really miss much in that show. A big part of it is crap with all the typical anime quirkiness. Not really a must watch show, but it's alright I guess.

[Hoonyo]

speaking of slayers, i've been dying for an anime just like it. say what you will about it being overrated, but slayers is one of my all-time favorites. i watched escaflowne, fy, dbz, utena, etc crap during the mid/late 90s, but slayers was my absolute favorite (i liked utena a lot too).

anyway, does anyone know of anime kind of like slayers? i gave orphen a try and it didn't really do it for me. i'm gonna watch orphen revenge for the hell of it. scrapped princess? anything!?

[FatalFuryD]

Slayers really was stretched beyond belief.. what was supposed to be 12 episode show bred three sequels, and like what, 10 movies? Most people I've seen who liked slayers saw only slayers. Have you checked rest of the series.. The first few episodes were alright but ionno. they kind of repeat themselves over and over, sorta like ranma. But that's just what I think. I'm not criticizing you or nothing for liking it. I liked a lot of it, it's just that a whole lot bigger parts of the series were waste of time.

Louie the Rune Soldier is Slayer-ish and I think it's alright, it's well written. It has its stupid stuff though.

[Civic Si]

So, I'm wondering what the difference in Ai Yori Aoshi, and Ai Yori Aoshi Einshi is?

Cause I bought the 1st DVD of the regular one, and it got stupid in the last 2 episodes, with the introduction of this obnoxious loud mouth blonde girl.

But, still, I need a series to collect, and I'm wondering should this be the next one?

[FatalFuryD]

AYA= season 1, AYA E = season 2.

[tempest]

k trigun is very good it has cult following its show that got me hooked on on madhouse stuido . they borrowed ideas from kenshin to like main character wont kill in later eps his past comes back to haunt him.

ikku toushin is crap only reason i'm collecting is cuz of the penicls borads.

peacemakers is good, but i have say Paranoia Agent is far better i wish somebody made thread for it.

scrapped princess is very good has "HUGE" FOLLOWING" and its done by bones.

[Stabby]

Lost Universe was a series that took place in the same universe as Slayers, but with sci-fi instead of fantasy. I think.


Peace Maker sucked for the beginning. By episode 7 the main guy didn't even have a sword, so I had to quit it.

i wouldn't say in same universe . they were done by same company. but i'll take slayers over it anyday
well i'm giving PM a try since gonzo is my 2d fav company behide madhouse . but to gamer X yes give Paranoia Agent a chance its one of the best shows of 04 .

oh since i picked up GG vol3 today they had couple new trailers which blew me away

one was appleseed the movie i can't wait for this show hit stateside i was floored by the detail animation and cgi .

2d is new trailer for samuria champloo not teaser but one geneon put the togather it look very smooth the sc crowd will be happy. peace

[akumachan]

Just got Sub 707, anyone seen it yet?

and tempest: even tho I disliked Texnholyze (sp) I am thoroughyl enjoying Paranoia Agent.

Just started Chrono Crusade, and so far its ok. animation is nice, but it has yet to really hook me.

been watching Kaleidostar, and yes its "girly" but I really like it.

also saw Conduct Zero (i know its not anime nor is it japanese but its great)

Next is super milk chan, and Tsukihime.

watched the first ep of aquarian age, and I really hope it gets better, cause I was bored stiff.


and yea I cant wait for Appleseed. Gonna hit one of the press screenings as soon as my contact has the dates for Los Angeles available.

samurai champloo also looks good.

[Hoonyo]

Louie the Rune Soldier is Slayer-ish and I think it's alright, it's well written. It has its stupid stuff though.i watched slayers next before i watched the slayers. after i finished slayers next, i already grew fond and attached to all the characters and watched slayers try. i dunno where but i heard some rumor zelgadis would turn back to normal in try so i was even more interested in watching it. i never got a chance to watch the original slayers until international channel started airing it in japanese with eng subs.

i'll check out this rune soldier, and i know scrapped princess is popular but is it anything like slayers?

[ReggieHadoken]

Vol 7 of Kenshin manga was tight. Great duel between Kenshin ans Saito.

I just picked up Earth's Last Hope and Awakening DVDs to the Cell Games Saga. I can finally watch the Japanese version of Gohan going SS2 on my own TV!! No more video clips. :tup:

[Crusader]

Cause I bought the 1st DVD of the regular one, and it got stupid in the last 2 episodes, with the introduction of this obnoxious loud mouth blonde girl.
Well, if you thought that blonde girl was stupid then don't bother watching the rest because it's all mostly filler. Don't get me wrong, I personally love the series (I've only seen the first 4 DVD's) but it doesn't sound to me like you'd enjoy the rest.
been watching Kaleidostar, and yes its "girly" but I really like it. We watched that at my anime club... yes, it's very girlie and if it wasn't for the anime club, I would never have seen it..... but man it was so good. :tup:

ahh Im glad that someone else recognizes how good Kaleidostar is ^_^

and I have respect for guys who are comfortable enough to admit that its a good show even tho it doesnt have fireballs and robots.
the relationship dynamics between the characters, IMO, are very enjoyable. and i really get a kick out of Fool :D

i also like the opening and closing songs, very catchy.

[tempest]

i havn't started on Kaleidostar yet waiting finish alot stuff off or wait for bundle sale.

cc is fine it gets alot better.


only reason i said you might not like PA is its twisted like tex, and boggie and there both shows your not interested in but huge kudos that you are. Pa reminds alot of boggie how the characters tie in with one another in some way.

i see you hooked on getbackers bandwagan not bad series by the way.

good to hear about Chrono. I was a little disappointed in it so far.

for PA, and boogie and tex, i dont think its so much the twists as the convoluted storytelling. Paranoia Agent definitely has its mysteries, but I like the way the story is told more.


and yea Im an official Midou Ban fan now :D heh heh :clap:

[Gasaraki]

Anyone here who watches fansubs regularly? My fav right now is probably Beck, about starting a rock band. It's pretty great so far and they're following the manga almost exactly. As far as liscenced series go I'm still trying to catch up Last Exile, HeatGuy-J, and Gungrave. As soon as Samurai Champloo comes out I'll probably get that too.

Any heavy manga/scanlation readers? I tend to read alot more than watch so I forget like half of what I'm reading heh.

[tempest]

yes ban does kick ass.

i agree on PA i just need slove the older guy i know his link to the attacks. but i really really like this series.

i feel you gasraiki glad that one more disk for last exile sucks no more its been one hell of a ride. but i have
ROD tv
gungrave
fighting spirit
getbackers and P.A keep me bust while i wait for the new anime 05.

and how is beck. i kinda have idea whose going license it which would so freaking rock if it plays out that way.
::heres hint:: look at who llicnesed gg and lastexile. peace

[Akuma4Real]

Fansubs? I'm loving School Rumble, highly reccomend it to those who like comedy/romance :tup:

[Gasaraki]

I'm watching GG Vol 2 as I type this, Much better than the first volume and I liked that one a hell of alot as well.

Beck is great, though the slightly bad English from Ryusuke and Maho is kinda annoying. But it's to be expected since this was made for a Japanese audience and they did a pretty good job on the English when you think of it that way. I'm just hoping that when they do the songs, that they'll live up to how good the manga says they are.

Edit: haha I love School Rumble, I've been reading the manga and watching the show for that as well. Some really funny shit in there

i agree about GG first dvd was ok what got me hooked on the show was 5 years past ep that got me hooked. funny thing i just finished the 3rd vol and your in for treat i don't know whats my fav this or ROD tv man so much good anime comming out next couple months.

[Plutoburn]

I recently watched Get backers, Samurai7 (to ep. 17), Full Metal Alchemist (in progress, at ep37 right now)

ROD TV is 13hrs away from finished DL on BT.

Get backers was not bad, but it ended pretty badly. *Spoilers ahead* I watched the chinese sub, so I don't know the proper english name, but the snake bite guy and the poison lady relationship was never resolved. And we never know why her brother had to be killed except something very vague from the flash back about "lost children" which we have no clue about. And the thing with the weird city was never really resolved either.

[Gasaraki]

A I love Samurai 7, I'm just having problems finding a working torrent for episode 14. All the ones from IY4 subs don't work for me =/

yeah i saw it and i was also disappointed. There better be a season 3 cuz that was one of the crappiest endings i have ever seen.

Beck is pretty good so far, i've only seen the first 3 episodes. And i also find it funny when they try to speak english.

School Rumble is a funny anime, that girl, the main character is just so goofy.

[Drunken Master]

Recently saw Eiken OVA ep1. My mouth was agape the whole time "WTF am I watching?!" Thought it was kinda funny actually..

It's amazing what they put to animation over there.. some good, some bad, some crazy, some dull. I swear it must be like a different planet over there sometimes.

[tempest]

yea getbackers has on of the wroes endings ,but hey i'm enjoying the show. but yea R.O.D is very good, first couple eps are so/so just you notice some things from the ova. just wait for ep 11/12 thats when the shows starts get very very good. later

[Shin Akuma]

Hey tempest, do you know where I can D/L Battle Royale manga?

[Crusader]

Hey guys... I've taken another leap even deeper into my geekness and decided to start an anime club, but I've never been a part of a school organization so I don't really know what to expect...

- What's the best way to get the word out? I want a lot of people to come, but the only thing I can think of is putting up flyers on the walls of different buildings/bulliten boards.

- What kind of anime should I show? I know I want to show something that's good for girls and guys but I don't know if I should show movies or anime... and if I show anime, if I should limit it to short series (12 episodes or less) because I want people to be able to miss a day of the club and still be able to watch and know what's going on the next week.

- What should I do about annoying people? ...you know the type.

Re: Getting the word out
Word of mouth advertising is the best way. Just stick with putting up flyers for now. You'll have to bear with low turnout for a while but if the people who come like what they see, they'll bring more people with them to subsequent showings.

Re: What anime should you show
I would show TV shows because if it grabs their attention, there's a good chance that they'll come back to see more episodes. Always show at least one "girly" show unless you like sausage parties. One anime you MUST show is School Rumble. You cannot go wrong with this show because guys AND girls can enjoy this (or so thinks my biased male views).

A sample viewing schedule (these are just examples, you could replace them with anything that's remotely similar) could be something like...
- Godannar (something for the guys)
- School Rumble! (something for everyone)
- Maria-sama ga Miteru (:lol: something for the ladies and guys who like teenage lesbian slurping)

Re: What to do about annoying people
Nothing. They come with the territory. You could find out what their tastes are and show the completely opposite.

[haunts]

Flyers are good, but show up to other geeky clubs and hang around and tell peopl ein those clubs what you are doing. (movie club etc..)

As for what to show, you have to test the waters and see who shows up. If its a bunch of people who all they know aobut anime is NINJA SCROLL or something retarded like that, you might want to stick to showing recognizable stuff like GitS or Kenshin or something..

As far as annoying people, get used to it. Annoying people love anime.

[Gasaraki]

*snip*
Watch Genshiken :clap:

[Civic Si]

Got 2 questions:

Someone earlier confirmed my suspicions about Ai Yori Aoshi possibly becoming stupid. So, I want to buy another series.

My tastes. Right now, I can't do the fighting, and I always hated the mech stuff. Fighing anime, I tend to only watch once ever, then that's it.

I'd like something comedic, or something "Sakura Diaries" like. Or something sillier like Rei-Rei: Missionary of Love. I like series more than standalones. After watching Rei Rei a long time ago, I had looked for some genderbenders, any help there? (Am I strange?)

Don't say Ranma...I just sold 4 VHS seasons of it.

1. What do I buy?

2. What do I BitTorrent?

Right now, the only thing I'm BT'ing is Tenshi Na Konamaiki, and I'm current on it's releases, at 42-43/50 eps translated.

[Buddha's Weapon]

yeah download tenshi na konamaiki, its a funny anime. And BUY kare kano. Great anime.

If you;re looking for figthing, try hajime no ippo and if you want racing, of course get initial D. But get the japanese ones, cuz i heard the american ones changed all the songs so it kinda sucks.

[tempest]

crusder just follow what people said already on this thread and for the annoying or stuck up snobs, just say your core member of AOD site there backaway real fast. shin might want ask the manga poster, manga is not my cup of tea i only read like 10% from mangas.

AYA does not suck it falls into some of the pits that lovehina fell in but i'll stall say AYA is better.

I second Genshiken.

Surprisingly good, and it mentioned CvS in the first episode.

[Gasaraki]

And in the second episode GGXX#R is in the opening animation. 4th Episode has a Jam cosplayer. Throughout the whole manga there's been lots of fighting game references, funny stuff.

[The Internet]

I think I found a new favourite series.

SWEET! Hopefully we will get FotN the whole TV series. Anyways today was my first anime purchase in like...forever the last anime I bought were Captain Herlock(Harlock) vol1&2, I got a $50 gift card for my bday for Best Buy. Initially I went to go buy Viewtiful Joe(been meaning to buy this for the longest time) but then I saw it was $20 so I browsed their anime section and finally bought the New Fist of the North Star vol.1+box(been meaning to buy this forever as well :sweat: ). HOLY SHIT this fucking ROCKED! I remember trying to download it when it first came out on fansub but since I'm retarded and can't get the shit to work yet, I'm forced to wait forever for them to make it over here. I enjoyed the movie and the TV series of what I've seen anyways and I've really wanted to collect the series on either dvd or manga but since Manga didn't bother to bring the whole TV series over I was stuck watching them on Action. Well I got off track but I just wanted to mention I was fucking floored woth this and can't wait for the other two to come out.

Hrmm I got to read some more of ichigo 100% up to volume 11 or whtaever... Umm I hope it starts to get better, cuz last couple volumes were ass. Although I like tsukasa ummmmmmm I have a bad feeling its gonna be something gay like they are just gonna show her a lot so they dont have to show her later on and move onto other characters. Which is gay cuz i cant belive they are added even more characters to it. Its getting ridiculous, also some of the situtions are getting pretty stupid. Hopefully the volumes after this are better.. =[

update:

watched sub 707 rev. hated it. one of the worst things Ive sen all year
watching geneshaft and .hack sign ( i know they're old, but I never got around to it) both of them are ok.
finished the first DVD of chrono Crusade. it definitely picked up inthe third episode, and I just recieved the second DVD
started watching Super milk-chan.. that is some strange shit. I will make a point to do drugs then watch the show.

next is Tsukihime vol. 1

thats all for now.

I checked out some of that stuff. I D/L'd Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien. it was a pretty good series. Too much crying. But still good. I may burn it to DVD Player readable DVD-R.

Koi Kaze. If Ididn;t know any better, Id say the guy is wanting his sister pretty bad, plus you give that taboo warning. After BT the whole 1st Vol in a package, I don't think this is for me, or anyone.

His and Hers... the words are too common, so searches are fruitless, got a link to anything about it?

Seen Initial D long ago.

I'll aslo pick up Vol 2 of AYA, hopefully all that silliness introduced with the blonde girl is toned down.

Any other suggestions people?

Also, last month at the Midwest Mass fighting tourney, there was a game on PC being played, called Melty Blood REact. I saw some of the things possible, and asked the guy to burn it on DVD for me. So, I come to SRK after a long hiautus, and see threads here about this game, which I thought was some unkwon shit.

The point. At Suncoast, I saw an anime with a girl on the front, And it appears to that Arucid Brunsteid(SP) chick from MB. And then I look on the back, and a boy in a school outfit, who looks like one of the Shiki brothers, and a blood pattern, and lastly, on the bottom, it said Type-Moon. It says this when you start the game.

Am I correct in assuming that this anime (I can't remember the name- cause it wasn't Melty Blood) is alteast based off of it, or is the Anime version of Melty Blood, and if so, is it good?

[Crusader]

I'm not sure if I understand it myself, but I think the Melty Blood/Tsuki Hime version timeline goes like this:

1st- A dating sim type game is released- this is the first incarnation of Melty Blood/Tsuki Hime
2nd- Melty Blood fighting game based on the dating sim comes out and is popular
3rd- Tsuki Hime anime based on the dating sim comes out
4th- Melty Blood ReACT (kind of an expansion pack of the regular Melty Blood fighting game) comes out

How is Peacemaker? I was going to pick that up from Suncoast yesterday. I haven't watched much anime in a long time -- Cowboy Bebop and Lupin III are the only animes I can watch over and over again and not get tired of.

Got sick of Naruto quick. Completely lost interest in Initial D. Thought Samurai Deeper Kyo was garbage. I plan on watching Berserk in a while.
