And I thought anime was dead

:S Oh, Berserk. I've seen it in my comic store a lot of times, but I never considered it. I'll probably give that manga a chance, and if I like it I'll buy it regularly (after Tokyopop finishes publishing Ai Yori Aoshi ^-^).

So... Ichigo 100%?

I just got Last Exile... obviously it looks good, but I want a quick review... who is it?

I've read all of the Ichigo 100% manga, to be honest, it's really rather rubbish for the most part, and the only reason I slogged through it all was for one character, Tsukasa Nishino. Well, that and the ending, which shows a surprising amount of depth and character growth for the protagonists, which, to be honest, spend most of their time like every other harem character. I've heard many "meh" comments about the Ichigo 100% anime, and my own opinion about the mediocrity of the source material suggests you stay away from it. If nothing else, that blue haired girl is call Minamoto Yui, and though billed as one of the four main girls, gets barely any screen time after her first initial intro arc.

Last Exile is rather bleh in my opinion too. Great setting, pretty interesting characters and interacting dynamics, but the main story itself suffers from pacing problems, I think, and at the end I never got the feeling of being very satisfied from watching the entire series. There are some highlights here and there but generally it isn't a series I would recommend to others.

I will get Ichigo 100%, then. And Popotan, too ^-^

... Eureka 7 has a really good soundtrack. I haven't watched the series yet, but I love the music. And I'll watch it when CNLA's Toonami gets it.

... yesterday they premiered "Memories", but I couldn't watch it

BTW... is it just me, of Air the Movie's Misuzu is way more attractive than her TV counterpart? ;_;

Cartoon Network's Adult Swim is running it, so most people are probably scared to put it out there because shows that are actually on air in the states probably have the strictest licensing. The only shows that usually get around this is when shows are absurdly popular. Torrents will probably take a long time but they usually work.

Take the Harry Potter universe.
Add Shana and Yuuji Sakai from Shakugan no Shana.
And Yuki Nagato from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
And Tamaki Suoh from Ouran Host Club.
And Karin Kanzuki from Street Fighter.
And that fat kid from Infinite Ryvius.
And hey, how about Gandalf for good measure?

Mix it all together with generous amounts of fanservice. (Might want to add in any big-busted bimbo you could think of at the moment.)

THIS IS WHAT YOU GET.

I am entertained.

Watched the first 3 episodes. Funny, but it's kinda slow to develop Saito's strange powers-

I don't. She struck me as a more retarded Kim Kaphwan. So obsessed by the idea of Justice that she was easily fooled.

Kyosuke Kagami · Post by **Kyosuke Kagami** » Mon Jul 31, 2006 04:55

;__; But she's cute and her fighting style is good! No one rejects to pick Kim in FF/KOF/CvS2 just because he's a "lol justice" asshole

And somehow, her design is attractive... AND THIS STATEMENT COMES FROM SOMEONE THAT LOVES ARURU.

Damn... I couldn't get School Rumble, but I got Shakugan no Shana. I'll see it when I go back to Queretaro, but I need to ask: Why does everyone say Shana is awesome? I simply wanna know ^-^

Now, I gotta look for some School Rumble torrents. After watching a pic of that blonde girl and Yakumo (and their evil, yet sexy, eyes), I was hooked. LOL I'M LATE.

Assuming manga counts, I've just been reading the english adaptation of Ikkitousen called "Battle Vixens" (ugh...) I like it now that I have 5 volumes, but I think it kinda sucked until volume 3.

Kyosuke Kagami · Post by **Kyosuke Kagami** » Mon Jul 31, 2006 23:10

*reads Iori E's post* Aw, crap :s Well, I can ignore Shana and see the rest of the secondary characters

No, loli + swords + *insert otaku gimmick here* != success (for me). But I'll watch it anyway

... I wanna see the evil eyes of Yakumo and the blondie from School Rumble
