Just read the 1st chapter of Baslisk. Holy Shit! this was EXACTLY(if not pretty close) like the manga. Impressed so far that GONZO got that close.

If it keeps up like this I probably won't even read the manga.

Do you mean that 14th episode thing? Or a totally new OVA? I hope it's new cause I want more closure damnit, though I mostly know how it turns out form people telling me who read the manga.

Just watched the 1st episode of Speed Grapher. Pretty cool. The photogapher has to be one of the dumbest fucks ever tho'. Man, so far so good, as GONZO releases go :tup:

Well it seems like I;m fucked for the Beck manga since the link Gasaraki gave me some weird as page with listings and another one I found took down the torrents. TP aquired it and I beleive the first vol. comes out the same month the last volume of GTO comes out, so it's all good I guess.

DLing eps.1-26 of the anime tho'.

AIM for the Top! 2 is pretty kick ass. It's just goes all out on everyhting. Fight scenes, fan service and everything else. Good shit. :tup:

Well got all of the Beck anime birned on discs and just finished watching the first 4 episodes. I'm really digging this. Ryuusuke talks like he has down syndrome but it's still all good. I can't wait for the manga to be released but in the mean time I'm digging this shit. F-bombs akimbo and "I Was Made To Hit In America!!!"

InuYasha has gone to the crapper with all these sucky filler eps. The worst offender was then one with that giant rat illusion. Everything about it was suckola. Now I don't mind filler but it has to be GOOD filler. Example of good filler: DBZ ep where Goku & Piccolo take Driver's Ed. Example of bad filler: DBZ Garlic Jr. Saga. They better get this series back on track and quick.

Well I bought Love Hina 12-14. I have the all of the manga now. I'm so happy. Keitaro has the patience of a saint to put up with Naru's indeciveness. He tells her he loves her and she can never tell him she loves him back when it is painfully obvious that she does. Not to mention Naru's short fuse temper. Any other dude would have said "Screw it" and leave.

I watched Mew Mew Power. It was good. I thought that it was not editing often except names. I found few unedited Tokyo Mew Mew episodes. I downloaded and began to watch it. I was surprising that Mew Mew Power removed few scenes of Japanese episodes. Ichigo (Zoey) has tattoo (American version removed), and then transformation scene...

Never mind... =P

Well... I keep watched Mew Mew Power until it will finish. I got only unedited Tokyo Mew Mew 1-3.

Ah My Goddess TV looks so better!!! I will get DVD. Anime Works confirms that it will release Ah My Goddess TV to America. I think that it may release next year because Ah My Goddess TV DVD is not arriving yet. It is currently airing in Japan (up to 15 episodes of 26 episodes).

Finally got around to watching Love Hina. On ep 10. I am not impressed. yet ANOTHER anime about a guy failing the entrance exams to get into to Tokyo U, while falling in love with a girl. Then, of course, she has to fall for him, but tries to not let him know, yet they both get the feeling they like one another. It's been done quite a fucking bit, I'd say.

And HOW MANY TIMES can someone end up in "compromising situations" in one episode? I mean, where the guy fall on the girl, and they end up in that "about to kiss/fuck" position. It happens entirely too much here.

Last stereotypical thing of this sort of anime, it gets frustrating when the guy can NEVER seem to get his feelings out, or the girl tries to stuff hers.

Very stereotypical entrance exam prep school maybe she loves me maybe she loves me not kinda anime. I will finish it, but it's kinda hard to. Normally I can watch a whole series, like *SNAP*, but this tries me.

now unto something interesting news seems that Speedgrapher.com, Trinityblood.tv, and Basilisk.tv d are owned by Funimation
now this mean anything although last year s7. and i believe gsg domain names were owned by funa,and fuan licensed them so looks like they might have it, oh they also have beck domain name too. peace

Yeah, the show is real repetitive. There's not too much left there either if you're already half way through.. I don't recommend that you finish it. Frankly it's just an average show. My problem is that besides shinobu and keitaro the characters have no real back bones of their stories. but it was pretty fun to watch a few years ago. The comic is OK at best too. But yeah comic is a little better.

I felt that same way the first time I saw it, but I dunno... the series and the characters kind of grow on you after a while. I'd keep watching it if I were you because I hated it at first for the same reasons you listed, but when I saw the Christmas special and the last OVAs (which end the series), I really really enjoyed the series.

Oh yeah, a note for Beck and the pillows fans, episode 26 has the songs "Advice", "Blues Drive Monster", and I think "Hybrid Rainbow" played by one of the bands. At least I think it was those tracks, it's been a while since I watched 26. Either way, the pillows rock.

I've been reading the manga forever..it'd be pretty cool to see the tv series eventually catch up to the manga.

I saw the first InuYasha movie, Affections Touching Across Time. I was a bit disappointed with it but it was still OK. I liked the plot and the slighty different style of animation was cool. It made up for all those crappy filler eps I saw on Inu on [as].

Reading Love Hina vol. 12 now. I really love the manga but I think I won't like the anime as much. Nevertheless, it will still be nice to see the Hinata crew in anime form.

Astro Boy continues to rock. This is old-school stle anime redone right, folks. GET IT. NOW!!!

I bought a used anime flick called Sukeban Deka. It was only $10 and the story and characters intirgued me. Plus it was the only one left at my fye so I didn't wanna not buy it and regret it later. Haven't watched it yet. After work tonight I will, though.

A!MG TV will only be better than the OVA if they introduce Peorth. Otherwise, OVA is still better. Then again, I'm probably in the minority here, since I think that the movie was the worst of the 3 (so far).

dialupsucky: You might want to try and find the Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien game. It was a hentai game that the series was actually based on.

He really wants to end the manga soon, seeing as there was a large break between his manga releases over the past 3 years(he only got 5 volumes out in the past 4 years, and 3 of them were released in the past 16 months), and the fact that it's been 15 fucking years since he started it. It may or may not end on 31, but it will be finished soon.

AMG TV is really shaping up, I don't doubt that Peorth will show up soon after Skuld.

I was reading at AnimeSuki that even the dvd version was censored and edited. So I'm weary about purchasing it, since I don't like edits and censors.

I got Speed Grapher ep.2 dled, just need to watch it and then dl ep.3.

I'm on ep.6 of Beck.

waiting for the second episode of Basilisk :rock:

ep.3 of Aim for the Top! Die Buster!

Gonna buy the Lupin movies from Funi after this semester is over( 2 1/2 more weeks).

Once this semster is over I'm gonna jump into a bunch of old school and hopefully get a dvd burner for my pc and start burning eps. of Ashita no Joe, Galaxy Express 999, Space Captain Harlock TV and more old-school joints on DVD.

It's not that I didn't like the movie, it was pretty good, but I didn't like it as much as either the TV series or the OVAs. I also found that Celestin was acting a bit like a pedophile in the movie and it kinda creeped me out.

Reggie: It's not exactly short, but Fullmetal Alchemist is definitely one you should pick up. A few good 26 episode series are Chrno Crusade and Rahxephon. I also second Stabby's recommendation of Elfen Lied.

Fullmetal Alchemist is a wicked series, everyone who watches anime should watch that series.

Macross Zero is a definite must if you want a short mecha/action ova.

Reggie you gotta see Basilisk. Probably the best new anime that's out right now. The first episode owns so hard. The second episode is more character introductions, but like I said in a few other forums, it's most likely the calm before the strom. It gets compared to NS alot already, but that's because the art and animation are top notch. The source material for Basilisk came out long before Ninja Scroll did. Story wise I'm not seeing it. NS draws waaaaaaaaaay more parlells(sp? fuck this word) to Kawajiri's other film Wicked City(also based off a novel). Ninja Scroll, while kickass and one of my favorite movies, is basically Wicked City but with Ninja's.

It may not have been anything original but what it did, it did very well. I like how the story spanned 3 years and then showed how things were 4 years later. Keitaro and Naru got married, Shinobu & Motoko were still gunning for Keitaro's affections, Kitsune was/is still a slacker, Su was still pyscho, etc. I enjoy action manga as much as the next guy but it was really nice to read something where the characters led normal lives. I'm a little sad that I'm finisihed with it but now I can finally get on with reading my other mangas.

If you want a manga that shows a more realistic point of view of people growing up, get Maison Ikkoku.

I still stand by my opinion that Love Hina sucks.

Now that you mention it, yeah. I just thought it was on the MegaZone 23 vol.2 but it was on 3 and Kino's Journey vol.4. It's also on the box of the MegaZone23(got vol.1 + box). Weird. Guess they had to mark the sale items or something.


I should've picked up Plastic Little as well.

Actually, the anime covers the entire scope of the manga. Obviously, there are some omissions as well as a few filler episodes, but the MI anime for the most part, remains very true to the manga. It still isn't as "full" as the manga however, and if you read the entire manga and watch the entire anime, you can easily identify certain parts that are very different.

Thanx man, that's cool to know. I do enjoy the anime (espicially the music) so maybe I'l just go with the manga and the anime. It adds some diversity within my collection of DVD anime so I'll continue.

Looks like you guys were right about the last few eps of Hellsing. The last four were just a downer for me. They jus didn't have the flare and and momentum of all the others before it. What a letdown.

Well I saw Sukeban Deka with a buddy. The animation was from 1991, but this was still an anyoable 90-100 minute anime. Saki has to go undercover into a highschool to get to the bottom of a crime orginazation which involves 3 very loaded sisters. Saki uses only a yo-yo that has wire that cannot be cut or burned. And she's awesome with tha yo-yo. :wow: One of her teamates took out a dude in a chopper that was shooting a gattling gun at him. 1 shot to the head. Chopper loses control and explodes in the woods. :wow:

I also started watching Record of the Loodus War. It started out a bit dull but now I want to see the last 6 eps. I like how everyone is divided into classes (Nights, theifs, mages, etc.)

I'm reading One Piece vol. 6 now. Don Krieg started a mess at a resurant at sea and now things are about to get ugly.

This is the greatest news about HNK for the last 20 years, the project is called Hokuto no Ken: Shin Kyuseishu Densetsu

Hojo Tsukasa, creator of City Hunter (aka Nicky Larson), will handle the character design. The films and OVAs will be distributed by Toho Co. Ltd.


Here the schedule:

- Spring 2006: Movie 90'
HOKUTO NO KEN RAOH GAIDEN JUNAI-HEN
(Fist of the Northstar: Raoh Side-Story - Arc Junai)

- Autumn 2006: OVA 30'
HOKUTO NO KEN RAOH GAIDEN GEKITÔ-HEN
(Fist of the Northstar: Raoh Side-Story - Arc Gekitou)

- Spring 2007: Movie 90'
HOKUTO NO KEN UREA DENSETSU
(Fist of the Northstar: The Legend of Urea)

- Autumn 2007 : OVA 30'

Random? The series is dull. He can write characters well, and abilities, and he draws well, but he can't tell a good story. The entire thing is just Ichigo powering up-- 170 chapters, and there hasn't been a single opponent he's faced so far that he couldn't just beat with raw power.

I mean, the guy has so much power that while he was suppressing his powers enough power leaked out to give his friends powers. Just think about that for a second.

And it is the most predictable series I've ever seen. I've called every plot "twist" up until where I stopped.

I don't even know why I bother to keep up with the series anymore... it's probably because all of my friends love it and that way I can follow their conversations, but otherwise I probably would have stopped keeping up with it a *long* time ago.

You can get all the releases for it here (http://voiea.net/manga/D-Gray%20Man.rar), or just go to the first website and download a few chapters to see if you like it.

It reminds me of Hellsing, but less dark, and with an art-style more like FMA. I'd rate the series about a B so far.

And since I had a $15 gift certificate, it all came to a total of $35.41 :clap:

I also picked up Gun Smith Cats: Bulletproof for $12.99 and Yu Yu Hakusho the Movie/Ninku The Movie in a one case package deal for $6.99 at Best Buy. And finally, I got the starter box set of DBZ Vegeta Saga for $26.99. The Saiyan (now Vegeta) Saga uncut at last!!!

I've never seen any of the animes I listed on sale for $7.99 but since they were dirt cheap, and I wanted to expand my anime collection, I figure "What the heck? Why not?"

be ready shop for ippo online , your be lucky if you see new vol ippo on retail self you may see maybe one and thats it , reason being has much has i love geneon they charge retail chain like 4 dollars more then show from different company that charges less reason you see like more then on dvd say hmm eva or something, and some retailers wont order more of same vol if they don't feel its going make sales. by the way suncost sucks so stay way from them lik they have aids or something.
watch xtv k very good, and it follows the manga pretty close and music just rocks on it.

Sousei no Aquarion i'm sure were see this show out in the states next year,but i heard first couple eps are so/so although they did say the same for fafner and that show is very good .

:tup:

I also watched Gunsmith Cats at my buddie's place. The first ep started out a bit slow but mid-way and in the end of the first ep, things really picked up. Minnie May was just so cute and grenade-happy. The chick never carried a gun. It was all about things that go BOOM!! After seeing that girl, I think I'd rather deal with a gun funatic any day of the year. Girl woould be a nightmare in a Bomberman game.
:wow:

I know DBZ is never really discussed in this thread but the uncut ultimate addition of the the Vegeta Saga is TIGHT!! I can't believe how much stuff was edited out when Pioneer first released the DVDs. They practically omitted full episodes. Many non-violent scenes with Gohan were in this version and Raditz just seems so much more pimped. The sucky part is that the last ep on the DVD ended just as the fight with Goku & Piccolo vs. Raditz just started. BOOOOOOOO!!!

My friend got me started on Samuri Deeper Kyo. Oh man, this is some good stuff!!! :tup: Excellent anime and music and the plot just has me dying to see it through to the end. My friend tells me the manga is pretty different formt the anime though.

Tempest is right, SDK manga is leagues better than the crappy anime.

I purchased Samurai Champoo vol 1. Sensory overload ppl. :wow: The animation, voice acting, and music are top notch.Only airmaster has better animated fight scenes. The plot for each episode have a nice natural flow to them. Collect this show now because I have a feeling this will end up being one of those $300 boxsets. :tup:

Edit:Femto do you see the prices for the Trigun and Cowboy Bebop boxes. Collector item is what I mean when I say that.

I bought the second volume Sunday. I was extremely disappointed by it. It was all random and didn't really tie into the quest for the sunflower samurai (except one ep).

I picked up Appleseed (regular edition) and Ninja Scroll the Series collection on Wednesday. Walmart has some really cheap prices for Anime ($35 for Ninja Scroll). I also saw Gantz for $11.

Would anyone on this thread recommend Full Metal Panic? They just released the collection, and it's pretty affordable and enticing at the price ($50 retail).

I still think there is more of a story element to SC compared to Bebop. In Bebop they just happen to run into Vicious and what not. While this happend with Mugen, Fuu, and Jin it wasn't nowhere near as random. They are always in search of the Sunflower Samurai it's just they come across certain people (understandable since they are on foot). The only real random episodes imo, are the shitty Zombie episode and the too-dope as fuck Samurai Baseball epidode.

Well [as] started airing Samurai Champloo. I wasn't really into it at first but after a few minutes, it really sucked me in. Being the first ep, I really have no clue what is going on but the animation style is very nice and the music is excellent, as are the voice actors. This is an excellent blend of action and comedy. Can't wait to see next week's ep.

[as] is also showing Metropolis as I write this. This has Osamu Tezuka's various characters all over the place. Only an hour in and I've already seen Rock, Duke Red, Skunk, Drake, Boon, and Atlas. I love how Tezuka-San created a star system with his manga/anime. This way he didn't have to think up new characters every time he started a new series. The man was a genius. Metropolis is like a darker version of Astro Boy. The whole conflict between humans & robots is alive and well. I haven't even seen all of it and I'm loving it. I'll def pick this up on DVD someday.

I started watching the anime, and learned that there are 26 episodes I think. And ofcourse the manga is longer as usual.

Also, are they doing a season two?

I started(unfortantly)to watch the ichigo 100% series.. man its gawd aful. They changed quite a bit, and well it doesnt help that the series just looks UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGLY as fuck. Im not even sure what the point of having a opening for it, as well.. The opening looks nothing like it does when its the acctual show. Yea anyway it sucks.....

I got the saikano game, I read somewhere that the game has like 80 endings or something??? But from the bit ive played it looks like there is only 22, unless there are some hidden ones and stuff... Anyway not much to say about the game other then it sllllllllllllow. Plus of course I automaticly kinda hate it cuz there is some time answered questions.. sigh dont they know people need more then 10 seconds to read through 5 options... sigh ._. plus doesnt help that they make it all dramatic with heart beating noises and the screen getting all wiggly.. oh well guess it just sucks if you arent omega japanese master shrug.... Oh and the option music is awsome.

I take it the Revenge story arc is the final chapter for the Kenshin manga? I read that that books end in volume 28 and the anime of season 3 was completely original eps. Kinda of a bummer.

I didn't finish watching all of Metropolis when it aired on [as] Saturday night but what I saw was enough to make me pick up the 2 disc DVD edition today. Man, I can't wait to watch this.

I saw Tokyo Babylon last night. Interesting short series. I didn't know Subaru had powers. And that one dude with the glasses was tight!!

I picked up Hunter X Hunter vol. 2 and Case Closed vol. 5. Speaking of Case Closed, how did such a great show get placed in a sucky time slot of 5:30 AM? I like InuYasha but not enough to watch those crappy filler eps that [as] is curently running. At least FMA is on weekdays but they are repeats.

While i was in the store buying CC5 and HH2, I was flipping through Video Girl Ai manga. This looks like something I'd really enjoy. I don't know how many books it is total but I think I'll buy the first two books when I get paid this week.

Anyone into Cyborg 009? I really didn't like it at first but when it came on at 1:30 AM on Cartoon Network on Friday nights, it grew on me. Why doesn't this air on Toonami instead of that gay Rave Master? The manga of 009 also looks interesting. I like the art style. It reminds me of Osamu Tezuka's works.

I picked up Cyborg 009 manga books 1-2. I had no idea this stuff was from the 1960s. 1963 to be exact, I think. I also didn't know that 009 has all of the other 8 cyborgs abilties and then some. And he's half-Japanese. This stuff may be old but it still looks good.

X was incredibly good but I found Tokyo Babylon rather bad. I guess it's worth watching if you want to know the relationship between Seishirou, Hokuto and Subaru but other than that, I don't know...

Edit: Yes, Elfen Lied is some good stuff...although I'm still wondering what they were smoking when they created it. Too bad the new missing episode (OVA?) that came out for Elfen Lied wasn't that good.

i think they weren't smoking anything i like how they persent the story with huge the amounts of volience, and aother dark things like i hear in the later eps which helps spoints out the themes in the show like innocence lost, i'm enjoying this more then what i thought only down side of the dvd release is adv didn't get the art work dvds from the japanesse dvds,glad i have somebody hooking me up in that dept.

Oh I like tabboo themes (I rely on anime to bring those), but it just didn't seem as necessary to have young girls being ripped to pieces (even if they weren't totally human). Still, the oddness of this anime was certainly refreshing.

Fell asleep in the begining/middle of GR, I was just sooooo pooped from today BUT I can say this shit was sweet. It just hit the ground running, gonna watch the rest of it tomorrow. ROBO PUNCH!!


Lupin III only watched alittle bit as well (Shield was coming on and I think my dad would rather watch that then Lupin, both awesome but c'mon man it's fucking LUPIN!!!) anyways only saw the first 10 minutes of it and I already liked. Probably watch the rest before I go to bed.

The trailers on Lupin were interesting. How is Gunslinger Girl? Baki the Grappler looked cool as fuck. I don't like Child Prey from DRE, but I sorta liked it when it was playing during the trailer. It's supposed to be the intro which imho kinda blows, but oh well.

Anyone having trouble finding the SC dvds? Either I'm getting there at the wrong time or they are ALWAYS sold out. I went to pick up vol.2 and vol.3(?) today but neither was there. I've seen em'all bla bla and shit but I heart Fat Fuu.

I finally finished watching Full Metal Alchemist. I'd put it into my top five Anime series of all time.

I love the adult morality issues presented to Ed and Alphonse.

Hmm...a new Samurai Champloo DVD? I guess I'll pick it up along with Chapelle.

I'm going to watch Witch Hunter Robin and Wolf Rain next.

I breezed through Cyborg 009 manga vol. 2 today. Man, this stuff is just too Good. Black Ghost keeps sending 00 cyborgs after the first 9 they created. And 009's abilities are just tight. He's supposed to have all 8 of his comarade cyborg abilities but thus far, I've only seen him use his accelaration and his strength. I'm guessing he taps into his other powers as the series goes along. And yes, Cyborg 009 did infact inspire Power Rangers, Voltron and Such. Heck, Cyborg 009 series creator Shotaro Ishinomari also made Masked Rider.

Started vol. 1 of Hunter X Hunter Manga a few hours ago. It started off slow but its begun to pick up. Leorio just has me giggling off the walls. And without spoiling anything, can someone please tell me whether Kurapika is a male or female? Seriously, I can't tell and no one has referred to this person as a he or a she.

Just watched Lupin III Island of the Assasins. This was one of the sweetest Lupin films I seen in awhile. It's got the usual Lupin goodness mixed in with some Real Folk Blues/Hard-Boiled type shit.

I need to pick up the last vol. of PA as well. Can't wait to see how this ends.

Maybe I'll finish Azumanga. Only have the first 2 volumes.

05-27-2005, 09:59 PM
yeah, it would be an awesome sail if their prices were a little cheaper. I looked at getting Azumanga series and Evangelion Platinum, but the discs came out to about $17.99 (not really a big discount over just getting them from Best Buy).

Best Buy is having a decent sale on Azumanga where the second volume is $6.99, the third and fourth are $9.99 (the six is $11.99 I think). I guess between Right Stuff and Best Buy, you could probably complete your collection.

oh i agree with you there i'll save off this sale for bills and i already spent why to much on anime already,but knowing me in the last min i'll get eva plat. dnangel, and azumanga then have 2 series done going along with wolf rain, and P.A ( good series can't wait see how masses on here respond to the show when it airs on As.
only thing good about righstuf sale is if its geneon sale which bestbuy prices are still high ,and righstuf bundle sales which they havn't done in long time. later

I can't believe you guys actually buy your anime...perhaps I'd buy a few of my favourite all-time series, but you guys must be rich...I know if I were to buy all the anime I have on my cds/dvds, it would probably be over $10000.

Well, I went to Best Buy yesterday and purchased Azumanga Vol. 2, 3, 4 and 6. I still need the other volumes. Also picked up Samurai Champloo Vol. 3.

I'm probably going to wait until there's a Full Metal Alchemist Collection, before I buy that (great series though).

And Right Stuff needs a buy four get two free sale...

DLing the first two episodes right now. This is some more old-school goodness fromt the late-great 80s and was one of the inspirations for EVA. This series is from the creator of the original Gundam as well...I believe.

Anyways peep this shit!

Just watched the first episode of Ideon. The alien chick Karara is hot as all fuck as well as the scientest lady with pink hair ( forgot the name but she reminded me of Haru Haru from FLCL).


Going to peep the second episode later on, but right now gotta go to my friends for a BBQ and to play some T5 (wish they played VF :bluu: )

UGH. Just watched the third volume of Samurai Champloo. I hate the episode pacing. I guess if it were a longer series, then I wouldn't mind these random episodes, but I want to get to the Sunflower Samurai already (or give me background into the characters).

i see what your saying,but its sort like bebop pacing, but you do get little insight of the characters, like mugen in the first 2 eps,and jins in the 3rd, and the 4th ep being interesting recap ep. like i'm saying now i'm enjoying the ride its fun show. i just can't wait for oct for geneon new big show.

Watching Yakitate Japan. I fucking love this anime. I suggest everyone to go ahead and watch it. YES it's about baking bread and I also thought, "wtf? Sorry, not my thing..." but I gave it a chance and I am glad I did. Tsukino is incredibly hot... god I love her.

Best Buy is selling Please Twins LE Box for $19.99. They are become more rare/expensive to find so I'd suggesting getting the box now if you planned on doing so.

So I watched Vol. 1 of Elfen Lied and....the dub is the worst I have ever heard. I've never had any complaints before about a dub I've listened to. There's no emotion, its all throwed off. The sub though is EXCELLENT! As they usually always are.

Anyway, I've had episode 1 of Basilisk setting on my desktop for about two weeks. I think I'm gonna watch it tonight.

Edit:
K, watched it. 1 word, TRICKERY.

I finished watching Ninja Scroll TV. Tempest, you were right.

It was some monster-of-the-week, Voltron-form-blazing-sword type show.

I don't think it lives up to the original movie.

Seeing the Basilik thread makes me want to watch it.

GITS SAC is an alternate world where GITS movie never took place / happened the way it did. Kusanagi is still her normal self and never merged with Puppet Master.
