Aw dudes. Cyborg 009 Uncut & Unedited is AWESOME!! I really, really like this series now. Even more than when I watched it on Cartoon Network. The way 009's acceleration power work is just killer! When he turns that sucker on, everything is in slow motion. I love how they made that work out in anime form. The anime sticks pretty close to the manga with some changes here and there but the changes don't really bother me. And intro is awesome and the music for this series rocks. I've only seen the first two eps but I'm already hooked. They'd better release the whole series on DVD!!!Eveyone I know hates it, cause it just looks gay like astroboy.

I have a Full Metal Alchemist question: I know this was explained about halfway through the series but now I can't remember: what is the importance of Ed's note in his pocket watch, "Don't forget 10 Oct"? I can't remember what that was all about.

My current reads are:

Rurouni Kenshin 15
Psyhic Acadamy 8
Tenjo Tenge 2
Currnet watching:
Tenjo Tenge vol 1
Burst Angle vol 1
Kidde Grade the whole set (I bought them but never got a chance to watch it)
I didn't know about TT (Tenjo Tenge) manga was edited. I know I'm late but that just kills the feeling now when I read it even though its still a good manga. I hope they bring the unedited version here.

I've been on sick leave, so I've been watching going on series binges...
Watched Gasaraki. Good. Probably a B or B+. Bought it during one of Rightstuff's bundle sale for $27. For the price, definitely worth it. I will say I am growing tired of these teenage/mech dramas. Raxephon, Evangelion, Gasaraki (and Gundam to a lesser extent) all seem to borrow a few too many of the same themes.
Watched Record of Lodoss War OVA. Probably A+ or B+. I wasn't too happy with the transfer (and I hate the transfer on the TV series). This series made me want to go play an old school RPG, when you used to be a knight instead of all this new futuristic meldodrama.
Nausicaa. A+. This movie is awesome. Nuff said. I need to check out Miyazaki's other films (only seen Princess Monoke, Spirited Away and this).

Finally checking out Naruto.
Since so many people liked it, I immediately disregarded it, as a bandwagon thing. It's okay actually.
How ever it seems a bit similar to DBZ, and it's a pain that the first 5 minutes is a replay of the previous episode. They also draw out shit as much as DBZ, maybe worse.
D/L season 2 as we speek.
I've watched the DNA^2 anime and read the manga in 2 days...the anime is better for once.
I've had the first 3 eps of mahou sensei negima on my comp for a while, but I keep forgetting it, because the folder is isolated.
Waiting on the last 2 chapters of "Pretty Face". I plan to convert it a c picture CD when it's finished.
Has anyone read the SVC Chaos comic(Korean, I think)?
Big trend. Even in Naruto, which isn't even a romance/comedy...
Man likes girl 1. Girl 1 hates man. Other girl (Girl 2) hopelessly loves man, but is shy. Man is oblivious to girl 2. Man tries to get girl 1, to no avail. Man finally realizes his feelings about girl 1, and see girl 2's feelings, and they get together.

i love hear your thoughts on xtv though. later
I thought the show was okay. It made a lot more sense than the movie. The actions Kamui made seemed to flow logically from his wish to protect Kattori and Fuma.
I liked the violence in the movie more though. It just seemed like a battle for the fate of the Earth. Everybody died except Kamui. In the show, it seemed like four of the Dragons of Heavensurvived (Dog Girl, Sword Girl, Book Editor and One Eye) while the villians had a few survivors.
I'd really like to read the Manga, but I'm not.
I still have to watch Last Exile, Record of Lodoss TV, Boogie Pop Phantom, Lain and a few movies...

Since Basilisk is no longer being fansubbed, I turned my attention to Speed Grapher. As far as older series go, Space Runaway Ideon, Space Pirate Captain Harlock , Galaxy Express 999 and Ashita no Joe. These need to be licensed so they can come out quicker.

Uncut Vegeta Saga of DBZ is teh pwnage of teh yearaaaahhh!!!!
And that hoe that killed Maes Hughes in FMA... Ed & Al better make that freak pay... big time. I still can't get that ep out of my head when he died. On top of that, I DLed a AMV to FMA that includes clips of his death and his funeral. The song playing in the AMV is Pat Benatar's Invincible. Now I didn't give a rat's buttox when the Brigadeer General got messed up by Scar. That jerk was asking to be killed. Heck, I should have stood out of my lounge chair and applauded when he got what he had coming. But killing off Maes Hughes. And his daughter is only 4. :sad: THAT FREAK HAD BETTER PAY!!!
And now that the FMA manga is licensed, I just may start picking that up. No clue how many books it is but since the anime is only 50 eps or so, I'm guessimg it can't be too long.
Now that I'm reading through DBZ manga book 20, I'm really looking forward to watching the Great Saiyaman Saga, even though Gohan looks like a moron in that getup. I've only got 3 more DVDs to go and that box set will be full.

Twelve-year old Aoyagi Ritsuka lost his only kin when his brother, Aoyagi Seimei, was killed under mysterious circumstances. One day, he meets Wagatsuma Soubi, who claims to know his brother. It turns out that Soubi and Seimei used to be a fighting pair, whereby Soubi was the "Fighting Machine" and Seimei was the "Sacrifice". Now that Seimei is gone, Soubi 'belongs' to Ritsuka who will become his new "Sacrifice". After learning that Seimei was killed by an organisation known as the "Seventh Moon", Ritsuka decides to join forces with Soubi and investigate the truth behind his brother's death.

This is what I see as a disclaimer on the torrent page.
Loveless is shounen-ai
This is a warning for anybody interested in Loveless - if you can't stand the sight of two males kissing, don't download this. Or at least, don't complain. You've been warned.
No thanks, try again.

Well.... haven't posted here in a while...
I have watched alot of anime since :).
- Oh My Goddess (old TV series)
Pretty good.
- Oh My Goddes: The Movie
Also good
I like Belldandy's seiyuu :).
- Shadow Skill (movie/epilogue)
IMO, really good fight scenes.
- ROD: Movie
The was quite good. The paper idea was a pretty unique idea.
- Scryed
Really good. Probably one of my top 5 favorite anime.
I wanna watch Excel Saga next! I read the first volume of the manga. Very funny and interesting. CONQUER THE WORLD!

Kunisaki Yukito is on a journey, searching for the girl in the sky. When headed into a small town, he meets Kamio Misuzu, a young girl, eager to become Yukito's friend. Misuzu invites Yukito to stay in their home so Yukito remains in the city, searching for the girl in the sky. After days pass, Misuzu claims to have had strange dreams, and only leads to pain and heartbreak.
Yukito Kunisaki is on a journey, seeking a girl with wings who flies in the sky, as mentioned in a childhood tale. During this journey, he settles down in a small town, trying to make some money. There, he meets a strange girl named Misuzu. Misuzu quickly makes Yukito her friend and invites him to stay with her. Yukito decides to stay in the small town, and continue searching for the winged girl his mother had searched for in her life.

Twelve-year old Aoyagi Ritsuka lost his only kin when his brother, Aoyagi Seimei, was killed under mysterious circumstances. One day, he meets Wagatsuma Soubi, who claims to know his brother. It turns out that Soubi and Seimei used to be a fighting pair, whereby Soubi was the "Fighting Machine" and Seimei was the "Sacrifice". Now that Seimei is gone, Soubi 'belongs' to Ritsuka who will become his new "Sacrifice". After learning that Seimei was killed by an organisation known as the "Seventh Moon", Ritsuka decides to join forces with Soubi and investigate the truth behind his brother's death.

Huh. I've seen all of those anime except HxH but I never caught any references in the opening. I wasn't really looking for any either though.
Has aAnyone else here watched Inuyasha movie 4? It was alright... just another pointless movie about Inuyasha and co. going to kill some monsters that have no significance on the main story. Normally I don't mind fillers at all but this one was a little boring. But I enjoyed it simply because I was happy to see Inuyasha and Kagome animated once again.
Also, does anyone watch Negima? I had a question about episode 19 (I think it was) with the ghost girl who died back in 1940. Did it ever really explain how she died? I know it probably had something to do with her going out into the storm to protect the flower garden but I think I missed something because I never caught how she died.

Picked this up at AoD. It's a little tidbit about the Hellsing OVA. Looks like we are in it for the long haul...
Hellsing OVA Tidbits (12:29 PM EDT): Unfortunately I don't have a quotable source for this but it comes from fairly reliable information and will likely be confirmed at Anime Expo next week. A recent Rondo Robe event was held that showcased their Hellsing OVA plans. Apparently the series is being considered open-ended until the manga ends as the author has a specific ending in mind. Each episode, which will start coming out in Japan at the end of this year and is figuring a three year run, will be 35 minutes in length, have a 5.1 soundtrack and will be anamorphic widescreen. The manga author is heavily involved right down to the casting and the animation direction is supposed to be very close to how the manga itself looks. A promo reel that was shown covered material from several volumes of the manga, including up to volume eight which is as of yet uncompiled. Thanks to Duckroll for passing on the information.
Currently listening to the Gun Grave OST Right Hand. Man I need to see this series.

Just picked up the following manga:
Kenshin vol. 16
Dr. Slump vol. 2
Hunter X Hunter vol. 3
Kenshin vol. 16 explains Sojuro's tragic past. Kid was taken in by a foster family that hated him and beat him. So he kept smiling so they'd get tired of abusing him. He also met Shishio as a kid. Shishio gave him a swrod. When his foster family was about to kill him, he used the sword to off his jerks-for-a-foster family. Now I'm not saying they deserved the axe (or sword in this case), but at the same time, for the way they treated Sojuro, I didn't have an ounce of sympathy when he did cut them into pieces. Filthy scumbags. For the first time, I actually felt sorry for Sojuro.
But when Sojuro fought Kenshin, Sojuro's emotions came back. It messed him up on the inside. You could even tell Sojuro was getting mad. As I was reading, I could see it in the way he spoke and by the look on his face. For someone who spends 99% of the time smiling to surpress his emotions, that was rather strange. Of course the return of Sojuro's emotions also ment that the battle was Kenshin's.
I guess the Kyoto story acc is coming to a close. The battle between Kenshin and Shishio started a little more than half way through book 16 so things COULD conclude in book 17. Or maybe not. So is the Revenge story arc pretty good? I ask because I really haven't seen or heard anything on it.

revenge arc is preetty good, its kenshin past sins comming back and visting him. kenshin goes through hell

Picked up a few DVDs last night. Got Ichi the Killer Episode Zero that explains how Ichi became Ichi. It was O K nothing grand or sadistic like the manga, but still O K...I guess. It seems like this could be 2 more chapters in the manga but I guess they wanted to give animation a shot or something.
Best Buy had Giant Robo vol.3 for $9.99 so I snatched that up even tho' I still need to get vol.2. Hopefully BB hasn't stopped carrying this series yet.
Also at BB they had a series (one of many) I've been meaning to see for awhile for less than the online stores have been selling it....Black Heaven. I've only watched the first volume so far. The music kicks all kinds of ass. So far it's pretty cool and can't wait to see more. Although mid-way through the fourth episode I thought Oji was a dick but whatever.
Since I got BH from BB the only purchase from the Geneon sale at RightStuf is going to be Captain Herlock OVA vol.3 and vol.4+box.
I got the fansub of Angel's Egg that I still need to watch one of these days.
EDIT: Just purchased the last two volumes of Herlcock OVAs. I'll pick up Champloo vol.2-whatever at the time, Koi Kaze vol.2 and 3, GunGrave Boxset and HeatGuy J set at the next Geneon sale.

HEY EVERYONE I NEED SOME HELP....
I just finished watching Berserk (anime), and lemme tell ya, im hooked!!!!
And now i wanna get the mangas for it!!!
Especially with an ending like that (refering to anime), i need to see someone die (im not gonna get into it, cause i might spoil for others).
So my couple of questions are.....
1. does anyone have or know where i can find a torrent to DL ALL the mangas, cause i dont have a single one. (or direct download even)
2. what part of the mangas did the anime come from (ex. volumes 3-5)??? or was it even from the mangas at all???
3. How many mangas are there???
4. is it tru that the mangas are still ongoing??? if so, is there any end in site???

Yakitate is good, but the anime goes too slowly and the manga only gets released in batches.
Gantz is still good-- manga is better, though.

1.) thehawks.org has vol.4-28 released. Or like Tempest mentioned try skullknight.
2.) The Band of the Hawk arc is 3-13.
3.) I think vol. 30 was just released in Japan and the last vol. I've seen here in the U.S. is 6.
4.) The manga is still going strong it'll be a looooooooooooooooooooooooooong while.
Black Heaven kicks ass btw! :tup:

i'm enjoying elfed lied very good show even with the somewhat bad reviews form anime on dvd site but opinion vary.,oh adv somewhat gave reverserble cover for it,but no its not r2 artwork more like screen cap of nana being bloody and chained up.

In terms of opinions, Elfen Lied is probably one of the few shows where most opinions lie on the far extreme of the spectrum; people either love it or loathe it. From what I've seen though, most people love it (myself included). There is a reason why a lot of people consider it the best anime that debuted in 2004. Oh yeah, at the time of this posting, it was considered the 4th best anime on animenfo's top 200 list.

Don't get me wrong the hip hop intro on CN for One Piece is garbage but compared between that and the Japanese touchy feely crap intro it wins. I'm not big on manga's but I've always liked anime.
I downloaded a fansub of season 2 for it since season 1 on CN is gonna wrap up in the next couple of weeks. I <3 bittorent:lovin: A lot of the episodes for season 2 must be a setup for season 3 since nothing much is going on after the Arlong fight.

i wouldn't even say foxverison of op thats airing on cn is full season with the edits. major sad thing is that toei seems be ones thats going handle the dvds and are releasing foxkids verison dvds first and seems there in no rush of releasing uncut sub dvds . which shows they have no freaking respect for the american fans.

That sucks. Oh well, I'm happy with my fansubs which leave out no details. :tup: It really pisses me off that usually cause they'll edit parts that were especially funny but just a little too lewd for the little kids.
I wouldn't doubt that the CN and fox versions are edited to hell but at least you get the jist of the episode. I'm only counting the seasons from when the fansub torrents are marked. lol I also think it's weird in the series they haven't mentioned or even questioned what would happen if someone ate 2 devil's fruits. Maybe they already addressed that in an earlier episode and I just missed it. I've almost finished watching season 2. I've been watching it all day. Summer vacation rocks. :clap:

Yeah, 2004 wasn't as good as 2003, but most years aren't. The anime's that came out in 2003 are some of the best ever. I mean, look at this list:
Chrno Crusade
Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu
Fullmetal Alchemist
Gunslinger Girl
Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien (even though I hate this show)
Scrapped Princess (another show I didn't like)
Stellvia
Wolf's Rain
Last Exile
Shingetsutan Tsukihime
Tenchi Muyo! (3rd OAV season)
I included mainly the most popular stuff, but that's one heck of a list of anime. On the other hand, I think that the anime of 2004 doesn't get as much credit because 2003 was such a good year. Here's some stuff that came out in 2004:
Elfen Lied
Monster
Samurai Champloo
Bleach
Mai Hime
School Rumble
Genshiken
Gundam SEED Destiny
Ghost in the Shell: Innocence
Not that bad of a year if I do say so myself. I'm still waiting to see if the last half of 2005 can make up for a semi-mediocre first half.

what no planetes in this list after ep your hooked. but i can see what your saying bout 05 only show thats interest me so strong well besides hellsing ova , is "air" from the nice air work,and animation, and i'm kinda shock that air, monster, and Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien aren't licensed yet. i thought for sure kimi ga would been licensed long time ago. later

yay, I bring links and such for all (though I never know if people already know these sites).
http://stoptazmo.com/ for lots of manga scanlations, very very up-to-date.
since I was on a negi kick when I found it, heres a link to some small torrent site with torrents of chapters 90 and 91 of negi that are missing on the stoptazmo site: http://www.point-blank.cc:7000/index.html?search=mahou
just checked and 102 raw is out. Sweet. Also, mangaviewer finally got it all up anyway, so you can find 1-101 negima on mangaviewer. It's nice of them to shoulder the bandwidth, but I really wish the people running the site wouldn't be so bitchy about people looking for sites that actually update at a decent click.
It's like, shit has been out forever, and if you ask them where they "get their goods" they'll just as soon ban you as look at you. It really irks me.
anyway, recently torrented anime found at http://www.animesuki.com/
Amaenaide Yo! (kekkaishi(or bleach if you will) meets love hina... I guess. Weird.)
Suzuka (fairly entertaining so far. Sports anime with the "guy works in an all girls dormitory" cliche as the backdrop.)
Boku wa imouto ni koi wo suru (movie - incest romance phsycho drama... it's got heavy sexual tones and themes, but no more than "enemy at the gates" or "topgun" types of movies... you still won't feel comfortable watching it with someone else in the room).
Okusama Wa Joshikousei (amusing little drama/comedy thing about a teacher and student hiding their marriage. It's actually pretty plain, but I've only seen 1 episode... I don't, however, recommend it unless you really like subdued sappy jap crap.)
Kidou Shinsengumi Moeyo Ken TV (Amusing little anime with a kenshin type as the lead... wearing that samurai stuff, but it's "camo" styled.)
Kamichu! (what. the. hell. this thing don't even make sense... feels like a continuation of something... doesn't help that I had only the version where they replace the word "gods" with "leechers" in order to make a crack about how softsubs are crappy, but oh well. If you like that feeling at the end of an episode where you scream "WHY?!!!?!?!?!?!" at the screen, try it out).
Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid (the awesomeness is back, good ol FMP.)
TIDE-LINE Blue (This seems more like a continuation of something, and if anyone knows, please tell me... still pretty neat.)

Personally, I'm a very impatient and cheap type of person. I really don't want to spend over $200 over the course of a year and a half when I can spend as little as $20 and be done with it.

Also immoral sisters 2 might be just about the most ludcrious story ive ever seen in a hentai. Watched some of scryed pretty dum, as was narutaru. I want to watch kamichu but it refuses to play correctly on my cpu when the subtitles come up for some reason, and I dun feel like trying to listen to it all in japanese.
I thought school rumble was prett ygood though for what it was for whatever reason though shrug....

Any of you chumps gonna pick up ROBOT illustrations? I was gonna wait longer but I think a week is enough, gonna pick it up tomorrow. It's pricey ($24.99) but I am sooooo in love with the art I can't resist. You all need to at least skim through this at your book store.
As far as anime on dvd...I'm gonna finish up/get caught up with SC, Azumanga Daioh, Maisson Ikkoku and then pick up the Black Jack collections from CPM, Galaxy Railways, GunGrave and the NGE Platinum Editions, then I'm done with it for now, until Basilisk and Speed Grapher get released on DVD. I'm just gonna just stick with manga and old-school anime(Space Runaway Ideon, Xabungle, Ashita no Joe, GE 999, Lupin III and such) for awhile.
EDIT : Here's a link to the manga ROBOT http://www.dmpbooks.com/robot
That Steamboy collection is insane!!! :wow:

soon bro soon. what i meant is how everybody hyped the anime, and no offense i hate the charcaters. i will look into manga soon just i havn't had time.
i picked up samurai champloo vol4 ,and i have to say i'm getting hooked on it more and more.
femto i would pick up planetes, and Gankutsuou there hold you over till funa summer release next year. later

Is this the Counte of Monte Cristo? This looks pretty insane.
Planetes I've seen and thought about but it doesn't grab me...I still might give it a shot, who knows, it might be this generations Wings of Honneamise.
To add to the list of shows I need to finish I forgot Koi Kaze.
To buy Genshiken, I'll be getting the manga for sure and most likely the dvd.
Tempest, stop sleeping on Gantz already and get to it.

Just picked up ROBOT. This shit is pretty sick. The stories are short with some ending just like that and others are going to be continued in vol.2 of ROBOT which doesn't come out 'tull next year :xeye: but I'm more than happy with my purchase.
Picked up the novel for Battle Royale as well...yeah, yeah, better late than never tho'...
EDIT: I'm sick of me double/triple posting and shit and I forgot to include during the last post so I'm posting it here in this post. When I went to pick up ROBOT and BR I saw this book called Japanese in Mangaland: Learning the Basics. It seemed like it helps people read characters(the writing) through manga. Anyone else heard of this? Do you think it'll help with reading characters in Japanese? I have a Japanese book with cds and such but there isn't too much in the way of reading it seems(I'll check again) that's why I ask about this book.

This is not an attack don't take this to be one. I've tried watching Naruto and I really just find myself not really into the series. Why does everyone like it?
I agree. My friends love it, yet I thought it was X-Men meets Ninja Scroll. To each his own....

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.
I did not like how that shit ended :annoy:

Theres a new bible black that came out recently... I duno if its the same dude who did the first one but its drawn shitty kinda like the last one was . Sucks, bible black what happend to you, why couldnt you be drawn good like you were in the begining. so so shitty.

Genshiken: It's pretty good. Nothing spectacular, but entertaining nonetheless. Obviously, since its an anime about anime fans.
Area 88: I like this anime. Alot actually. Kind of old school style, but well done. The story is intriguing from the first episode. Great aeriel action scenes as well. Reminds me of Topgun, but anime.
Gilgamesh: If you're looking for something somewhat different from the norm, this is a good one. Great animations. Very gothic style. The story seems deep and im pretty interested thus far.
Maburaho: It's a lighthearted comedy anime. Reminds me alot of Love Hina or Tenchi. Not bad I guess if you like that kind of stuff and are looking for something new.
Stay away from Burst Angel. It was a huge let down for me since I'm a big fan of Gonzo. Animation is good. Story is bad. Has some good fight scenes but they're far and few between. Not worth buying.
Others I'm currently watching:
Fafner
Gantz
Gunslinger Girl
Scrapped Princess
