I have a feeling that you, for some reason, wanted me to bitch at your melodramatic comment. I won't, however, as that comment was unwarranted, it would be be pointless, and make me seem very insecure. I have a feeling that you're basing your opinions something that happened almost a year ago. Plus "I'm never happy" sounds all emoish where I said that I was alway pissed.

Anyway, if something is awesome, I'll smile. If something sucks, I'll laugh at it unless it's unbearable. That ending was unbearable.

I did laugh at the beginning of it, but after a few seconds, I said no more.

I'm kidding around dude, poking fun at what happned around a year ago.



ANYWAYS, on topic, the Japanese dub of Shaman King is awesome.

Are there any scanlations (or whatever the hell they were called) of it? I don't really feel like downloading anime right now.

I haven't check out the manga yet, but I'm assuming there are plenty.

[Kvitne]

There were when I was reading it. Stopped without finishing it though, don't know why. I'm not sure where to get them now.

I liked the television series a pretty good amount too.

That was one were the transfer to TV wasn't screwd around with.

[Kvitne]

I really don't watch the American version of these things. I only watch the stuff that I download from the Internet. Namely subs, sometimes dubs. When they're dubs I generally end up watching it in Japanese anyway because I can't stand the voice acting.

[KennEH!]

Still. I'll go back to my Naruto example, the put like 2 seasons worth of fillers and that's jap too.

[Kvitne]

Every show that's not one or two seasons is gonna have filler. It's a given. You aren't gonna avoid it so stop bitching.

I didn't really mean to come across bitching, but yeah that's the sad truth.

[Arc]

Yes but two years? Come on Naruto kinda hit the ridiculous barrier and went over it.

[KennEH!]

Someone agrees with me.

[Lord Shmeckie]

I'm so saying more about Haruhi once I'm off the phone...

[???????]

I've read about the fillers on MoA's forum. I'm wondering whether or not I should get into the show for too long out of fear of being disappointed in the long run. I haven't even began, nor do I really plan to, begin reading the manga.

By the way, anyone know if there's a Trinity Blood manga?

I know there is one. Where to get it I couldn't say.

[Lord Shmeckie]

I must elaborate on Haruhi, because I will not have impressionable minds swayed to watching that show! It is my mission!

First off, Nam, if you didn't notice that show is desperate to be cute, you're either brain-damaged, or in denial. Or did that parapara dance ending get blocked from your mind? Same goes for the fact that you don't seem to see that Haruhi is done in dime-store anime style. Seriously, where the hell did that comparison to that Azumanga crap come from?!

Do you have any idea what a Mary Sue is? It's a super-perfect character that turns everyone's world upside down/life around. Such a suprise that she would replace a band member, and totally "rock" the house because she's so awesome that she's God... Seriously, she's FUCKING GOD! YOU CANNOT DEFEND THAT PLOT PREMISE! No one can! Friggin' Henry Kissinger couldn't make that sound good.

And by "what the SOS Brigade stands for is retarded", I mean, I KNOW what the hell it stands for, and it is a retarded joke that is funny only to those who need to be dead. When I first read it (the TRANSLATION of it), my expression was akin to this...

And when I saw the anime, and saw the thing actually used, my expression was akin to this...

And in case any of you are wondering why I'm so against this show, by all means, watch it. Been awhile since I saw a show so bad I blurted out "this sucks" while watching it. Still not over that... I have no tolerance for suck...

Now, let us purge this fecal show out of our minds with a recommendation of a fantastic piece of work!

Gungrave

A fantastic piece of sci-fi crime drama that never becomes a melodrama. You may have heard of the game its based on, but this is literally so good you'll forget the game exists while watching it. Hell, the anime seems to have gotten bigger than the game in terms of status and popularity. The characters are all well-realised, and the storyline is engaging. If I had to complain about one thing, it's that the main character can be a bit droll at times. But, the story and everything around it is so good, that really doesn't matter. With the heavy mafia element, it's definately a standout amongst a sea of typical anime. Although, if you were a fan of the game (which would be odd, considering the game itself doesn't seem that popular, at least outside of Japan), you'll be disappointed to know that it takes a long time ebfore Brandon becomes the series' signature protagonist, Beyond the Grave. The series has a large focus on Brandon's life as a hitman, and emphasizes his days with Harry. And frankly, I wouldn't have it any other way; it works so god damn well for the story...!

Oh, well yeah. That's why I stopped reading and watching the show. It got too ridiculous for it's own good.

And Gungrave is a really sweet show. Wish the game could have been as good. Or at least posed some sort of challenge.

[arrowone]

I almost bought that game...so glad I didn't now!

ONe good anime based game though? Robotech, battle cry. I LOVED it.

[KennEH!]

You're like the only one other then me that has that game I know of.

[arrowone]

That's the thing, I don't own it! I rented it, then had to return it. I went to get it again and POOF, gone~! I can't find the ps2 version anywhere now...

[KennEH!]

I have 1 & 2 for XboX.
