FYE?

Like im going to pay $88 for fucking Hellsing. Or Evangelion for that matter.

Seems a tad overpriced.

Oh, I went to the former mentioned store and checked out the (hardly existant) Anime Section.
I saw a lot I don't know.
But they didn't have Ranma1/2.

They had (from remembering their names):

Tsubasa Chronicles
Full Metal (something)
FUCKING PAPRIKA. IT LOOKED INSANELY GOOD. (Is it worth the buy?)
Origin. This one looked interesting, not the usual broad eyed gormless figures.
Black Lagoon, or so.There seemed to be more than one season/series.

I might remember a few more, but the others where the usual mainstream shit like DBZ.

Tell me which one is worth buying.
I can get two now and maybe the rest for Christmas.

Another reason to not go out and get a life.

Why didn't you simply not post? You didn't have to tell us this because we really don't give a rats ass what you don't do anymore. By the way, who the fuck are you?

im nobody you know because you obvously haven't been here long. according to my posts previous to this, people who i talked to on here do fucking care, considering they were like "NO don't go" and shit. so how about next time you speak for someone, make it yourself and not a whole fucking user-based community. you can't speak for fucking everyone. i posted it because, in case any of the old members i used to chat with were still on here, they would know that i have discontinued contribution.
it actually might be people like you who made me stop in the first place.

hey,
what type of anime does everyone like?? :)

im rather into it and my collection continues to grow over the weeks :D
has anyone seen voices of a distant star by mokoto shinkai??

Thats kinda hard to tell seeing as everyone has their different tastes.

has anyone seen voices of a distant star by mokoto shinkai??

Never heard of it.

On the FYE, yes they over price their anime, but when you said $88 for Hellsing, did you mean all the episodes or one DVD? Also the FYE in the mall near me the selection is pretty big.

At 12/11/07 06:24 PM, DarkStarForEver wrote: has anyone seen voices of a distant star by mokoto shinkai??

Yeah, I got that out on DVD some time ago.

I thought it was a pretty great OVA (quite depressing though (but then again, I suppose it has an open ending)).

Though it wasn't as good as The Place Promised in Our Early Days, which was the one that inspired me to get out Voice of a Distant Star.

Okay, I looked up the internet, they seem good.

Considered bought.

He means the TV series boxset.

Regardless, $88 is far too much, since the three individual volumes are easily found for around $15 and the show is merely 13 episodes in length.

They exist, trust me.

A Bandai Visual release or two runs for close to that price,

And the fact that.......it's not even that good.

Yup, so it hardly even merits the purchase of the whole series to begin with.

Also i went back to FYE(i go there during break) the Haruhi volume 2 limited edition box set was absolutely humongous.

The Manga or the Anime?
Wait, boxset....Anime, right.

I have no Idea on how the Episodes are divided, so yeah, probably another 2 volumes until the next few NEW episodes are out.
Which will be next year or so.English dub will probably take a few months extra.But from previous posts, it'll probably be out faster than the previous dubs.

Also i saw Black Lagoon volume 1(limited edition) and 3.

Hm, I saw Black Lagoon volume 1 to 3 for around 30~35 Dollars.Each.

I weeped on the inside because the price for them was around $29.99....and i reached into my wallet to find only $6

That's funny, because that's how I felt after doing the same.
Just wasn't supposed to buy it, I guess.

So, has anyone here ever seen Zipang yet? I just watched the first two episodes, and I don't know why, but this really appeals to me. It probably has something to do with my love for the Navy, and my plans to join after High School...maybe something to do with the Time Travel....or possibly just the realistic historical war scenes. It also gives a nice viewpoint on the Japanese opinion of WW2, and though I slightly disagree with some things, it's nice to see how they think about it.

The art is also very good, and the VA's for the Japanese cast are pretty damn good. The only thing I can complain about is character design, which seems slightly odd to me, but I still love it all the same. Though I of course love the US Navy more than anything, the Japanese Maritime SDF is similar, and I enjoy seeing the similarities, along with the few scenes where Americans are shown. I can nitpick a few little details concerning uniforms and salutes, but hey, it's Japanese made....the stuff that I call wrong is probably right to them.

Anybody know of any other Navy themed anime that I can look for after I finish this one? I never thought that any would be made, but DAMN...this one is good.

Oh, brutal.

Reminds me of the day Musicworld (God rest them, they were the only decent store on this island) got the final volume of BL in (at $33.95) and I had little more than ten bucks on me.

ROFL, wow just wow, that anime is based off a Science Fiction, and if not very similiar to it. Basically this US Navy Carrier I think is doing some naval exercises in the Pacific when they travel back in time to WWII through this fog, they have around a week to decide if they should stay and help their ancestors win the war faster or go back and leave history unchanged. I think they did a movie on it too.

There are a few Battleship anime's out there but its more along Space Battleships then Water.

I'm so happy though, that FYE I was talking about earlier has started to sell some interesting anime apparel (though to my discern half of it is Naruto, while the other half is random anime stuff), and Ramune, no longer do I have to go to any Con to get that shit man.

I used to play Mahjong when I was a kid.

Until I realized how boring it is unless you play competitively and with skilled opponents.

I wasn't planning on typing this much.

Rozen Maiden-related jokes will never die, clearly.

I can't hate as much on Bandai as most of you guys since they bring mecha to the masses over here. Thankfully I jump over them being the middle man and get my anime from the tap. B)

But god damn it and their viral marketing.

Sad but true, i never saw the appeal of that series.

For me it's the moe factor, awesome music, recluse kid that is like myself, etc...

I find Rozen Maiden, Traumend & the OVA Ouverture to be amongst my favorite.

That is all.

At 12/16/07 01:12 AM, Mendou wrote: Also a question, is the manga version of FLCL any good? (or is it the exact same as the anime?)

Funny, I re-read that the other day.

This is an unpopular opinion, but I much prefer the manga.

The anime has amazing production values, but it's only really worth watching once.

The manga's a bit more low-rent and a lot more avant-garde (more dark, too, with far less silly innuendo).

As you may or may not know, I like my humour avant-garde.

I never thought I would live to see the day in which the Anime Club, Newgrounds' largest club (unlocked), died.

Perhaps if I had posted more, I may have been able to save it, but no.

Alas, it was not to be.

We had some good times, this club and I. Oh the times we had, there are too many to count. I believe it was upwards of 7.

Now until zombies walk the Earth, I am afraid I will not be able to relive these moments.

Goodbye club, goodbye.

Yeah, that's what my mother said to me when I started making arrangements about her gravestone.

But I know better.

Finished watching Ebichu the other day. Fantastic series for it's short worth and worth overall.

I need to play catch up with Kaiji, Bleach[SAMESHITLOL], Gundam 00. Still waiting PAINFULLY for the fourth Hellsing OVA. Either February of next year[most likely release date] or the end of this year is what has been said. Same for the Tales of Symphonia OVA, December of this year.

Still have Code Pizza But and ZZ Gundam to finish. Plus a shit ton of other series and DVDs I need to watch along with manga to read.

But alas, the holidays are such a troublesome and depressing time of year.

Hurry the fuck up, you're really missing out.

Decided to watch the first episode of Makai Senki Disgaea to pass a small amount of time.

Turns out it wasn't very good.

Not particularly bad, per se, but just not very good.

The opening theme wasn't that bad though; at the very least more tolerable than the majority of animes I've seen (which usually have terrible themes).

The music also seems to be taken from the game, which was a good enough idea.

You're missing out mai boi!

Skip episodes 14 and 15 of ZZ Gundam, there horrid and serve no purpose to the plot.....at least thats what i'v heard.

I'll still watch them. Hell, I watched all of Inuyasha, remember? Although that statement may have been before your time here.

Needs more Paptimus Scirocco.

HAMAN SAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At 12/17/07 12:01 AM, Mendou wrote: I wanna watch the Xenosaga anime.

So far in my experience, videogame animes aren't very good.

I am basing this on the Disgaea anime, and the Star Ocean 2 anime.

Just took a listen to it, i think it's absolutely godawful, but like you said, there are worse.

I dunno, I kinda liked it.

It was reasonably catchy.

Not as catchy as Ode to Laharl from the video game, which I've had stuck in my head for quite some time, but catchy.

Not including the other ten aliases I used for fun, like Simon_Belmont.

Kamille ponders on whether he should continue to be with Fa, or be a real man and clearly go for Haman.

Which is odd because im Haman.

We all know who had the chance and blew it...
