fun_time_mathias Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 Stand Alone Complex was what you saw, it's a good series but the movies are much better IMO. It's also one of those love it or hate it experiences, it's confusing but packed full of drama and great action sequences with just enough humor.

Mini-Chan Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Really? Is that what they show now? I stopped watching AdultSwim 'cause I watch the anime online! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fun_time_mathias Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 Haha, nice, if I had something better than dial-up I'd follow suit and get to work on watching the Naruto Shippuden episodes they have out instead of desperatley finding any info I can from the most recent manga.

GriffindDWolf Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Yeah I'm just hoping I have enough downloaded anime to last me for the few weeks I don't have internet to watch it. But that means I'll have to wait to get any new episodes of any show :crying: that and a break from web-comics :crying: I must and will survive x_x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini-Chan Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Did any of you see the Naruto Shippuden Movie 4 trailer? It's SO GOOD. I won't say anything about it though! X3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffindDWolf Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Yes I wants to sees its.....drool... anyway this actually looks like a Naruto movie I might be interested in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fun_time_mathias Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 Yeah, usually the Naruto flicks aren't good, but oh man this one is amazing looking. Also, lack of web-comics and anime would make me go nuts, I can't live without Questionable Content, ctrl+alt+del and Real Life. I wish they would hurry up and start releasing Shippuden manga here in the states, I need it like I need my Bleach manga. Curse my addictions of beautiful art and story.

Mini-Chan Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Haha, I watched all three of the Naruto movies, and I enjoyed them all! I watch the anime more than read the manga, lol. Though I do like reading the latest chapters of manga! X3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauZai Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I have never watch Naruto before and still wondering what is there so nice and everyone is going into it. I do love Hayao Miyazaki and watch alot of his works. For the anime i have just finish the Chrono Crusade which i think its is very well done.

fun_time_mathias Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 Dangit, everyone has finished Chrno Crusade except me. I only got into episode 6 before I couldn't find any more of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffindDWolf Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I always hate when that happens, seems like everyone is up to date on an anime except you. The comes the dirty task of deciding if you want to dodge people so they don't divulge the juicy details of what happens before you get to see it.

fun_time_mathias Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 Nah, nobody spoils things for me, they just offer to lend me the volumes I'm missing if they have them. Yay for good friends who are just as nerdy as you are, they're the best kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini-Chan Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Lol. I don't mind if I'm told what is gonna happen 'cause I'm bound to forget it by the time I watch the anime or read the manga! lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fun_time_mathias Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 Not me, I remember details way too much, kinda like how I memorized Kisame's dialect and handsigns for his Chakra attacks when he first appeared on the anime here in the states. Kisame is the best Naruto character to me besides Jiraiya. I wonder how my mind always wanders on to Naruto or Bleach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smumpkins Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I just couldn't bring myself to watch Naruto with English dubs, even though Cartoon Network has been showing a marathon of it. I think the anime and the manga are on near equal grounds, though. Only thing I wish the anime would do is catch up with the manga. I noticed that you had mentioned enjoying Rahxephon. I found it funny that the older female that helps the main character, and the ketarl-ketarl from Outlaw Star, have the same voice actor. v_v;; One of the most irritating voices I've ever heard. I'm currently addicted to "Kaze no Stigma," "Kekkaishi," "Darker than Black," and "D.Gray-man." I've also been reading the manga "Bitter Virgin." That manga is sick and wrong, but that's just because it's on a subject shunned by society. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shattered_Ribbon Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 ^^ I luff manga. My favorite is The Wallflower. xxxHolic is good too and possibly After School Nightmare. I've only watched Bleach, and Host Club. Hunny ish sho cute *kyaa~!* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fun_time_mathias Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share Posted August 18, 2007 What's Bitter Virgin about Smupkins? The way you describe is making me really interested. Anyone here ever watch Marmalde Boy? I seem to keep finding older series to interest myself with to balance out the new wave and Marmalde Boy is one of those older ones I think is working better as an anime than as a manga since I've managed to find the subbed version instead of the dubbed version. I also recently found Orphen, Slayer and just started Utena. I feel ashamed I haven't watched Utena or Rayearth yet but now is a good time to start.

smumpkins Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Bitter Virgin is a manga about a girl who's afraid of all men. The main character is a boy who can be thought of as a total "player." One day, while hiding from doing work, he hid within an abandoned church. When the girl showed up, he hid himself within the confession booth. With him pretending to be a priest, so as not to get caught, she tells him about her past. She had apparently been molested by her step-father to the point where she was impregnated, and she had an abortion. He continued doing it, and she was once again impregnated. Knowing that she would never be able to give birth again, if she were to have another abortion, she gave birth to a baby boy, which she put up for adoption. She felt bad because it was that child's birthday. After that day, the main character becomes quite enamored by the girl, and goes out of his way to not make her uncomfortable or sad.

.Dan. Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Yay, a manga topic! I love reading manga, but not really watching anime because manga you can take with you in a book, but you've gotta have something that plays video to watch the anime. My current favourite is FMA, but my all-time favourite would be the Usagi series by Stan Sakai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smumpkins Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 See, my favorite manga is Angel Sanctuary, but I think it's a tie for my favorite animes between Yu Yu Hakusho, Vandread and GunXSword. While manga may be convenient with the whole "take it anywhere," I always have my laptop with me, so I can watch as much anime as I want. Yeah, I'm a tech geek :headset: , but I blame it on my job, since I'm always working with computers. But back to the point. Whether you prefer manga over anime, it's your choice. I, for one, prefer anime because they tend to release new episodes each week. :rambo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate when that happens, too. Luckily most of the people who are into anime that I know follow the geek code of not spoiling stuff unless you ask to be spoiled, lol. =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini-Chan Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Lol. Yes! Oh, the summary you gave on Bitter Virgin, Smupkins, seems interesting! Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fun_time_mathias Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 It's a really unusual topic I've never imagined as a potential story. Also, I found Wallflower at Barnes and Noble Mini-Chan, it looks really interesting and I'm gonna pick up the first few volumes when I get some more money and head down there next if they still don't have Bleach vol. 13. I'm also tempted to see how Trigun Maximum and Death Note are, those both look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Dan. Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I started watching Pom Poko today, and it's soo cute! Aww, I just love all the adorable furry-thing characters that Studio Ghibli dishes out, like in "My Neighbour Totoro"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smumpkins Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Lately, I've been watching Claymore and Ergo Proxy. These are awesome animes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
