Actually I bugged Bailey for a second mousepad, cos it's one per household. The second one I ordered has my friend's face on it, and I ordered it to his house. It arrived yesterday.

Chris, you like Claymoar... what do you think of the image I got on my mouseupadu?

TokyoToys in the Trocadero sell some interesting mousepads.

My Mousepad is the Nintendo All Stars 05 one from the Nintendo Official Magazine, back in the day when it was good. Proper old school.

I've seen them ones before, that's just a little bit too perverse. My Clare mousepad is win though, even if it's got that new mousepad smell.

Anyway my current mousepad is weird. It's like some weird German football game called Anstoss... dunno why I have it.

[Neversoft]

Chris, you like Claymoar... what do you think of the image I got on my mouseupadu?

I like it. :8 Although I don't think I would buy one myself as I have some good memories with my mousepad. I couldn't simply swap it for another! Although it is getting on a bit. A Gintama one would do it for me though.

It's a shame I don't use Facebook.

Lots of people don't, but there's a group for 4chan users with no friends/who don't use Facebook to spam friend request each other to get the 50 friends needed, group is called mousepad.

[Neversoft]

Oh please! I don't have to sink that low. :P I am fine with my current mousepad anyway. By the way, have you been reading the Claymore manga?

I was wondering how long it would be before you found and posted that. You took a lot longer than I expected though - it has been up on MAL for a week. :P Also, fail link. Use this one (http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=249606) instead.

I've not started the Claymore manga. D:

Finally Gin betrays Aizen, I was hoping for it for ages... but wonder what his true intentions are.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaa!? You should really check it out! There has been a ton of important deaths and so many plot twists, not to mention things have really started to heat up now that Priscilla has returned in her awakened form.

I wouldn't want to spoil myself, although quoting a spoiler seems to get rid of the spoiler button, lucky I only read the word Priscilla.

I might start it.

[Neversoft]

Didn't you once ask me to explain all that had happened in the manga as of late? There were many spoilers there. :P I really recommend checking it out though. It is one of the best manga I have ever read and it's soooo much better than the anime.

You apparently have a good memory, but i keep having to tell you that was me :P

[Neversoft]

No, it wasn't. First I told Jord what happened in the manga (here (http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?p=6062381#post6062381) is the post) then I summed it up for Axel on MyAnimeList. I probably let you in on a few spoilers to try and get you to read the manga, although it was a wasted effort from the beginning. Yet again your memory has failed you, as you don't 'keep having to tell me'. Don't try and outsmart me boiiii. My memory is world class.

So any decent places in London to get manga or Anything? I'll have tons of time to kill and might buy some books to read back up

Agreed, Love zombies. Tho would have loved a series where there was normal people but i suppose that wouldnt make a great series. Wish Resident evil would go back to zombies.. i miss my Zombies games ;-; might try get RE3 of the US PSN store >_>

On topic tho watched ep 5 today was good.

They are normal people? They're students.

[Southe,]

Yea i know what i mean is Normal everyday people. Your average joe that dosent have spear training or some other abilitys the other people have. Pick up a bat and smash some heads, not leaping in the air spinning taking out zombies. Tho that means you wouldnt get the pantie shots or jiggly boobs xD

OH REALLY? NEW FMA SIDE STORY NEXT MONTH?

YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT.

[Southe,]

To soon imo. The series just ended. Should be keeping this for a while so people can get some FMA fix in the future. Dragonball had to wait for 16 years for the special. I think mayb june next year would have been a good time to show it year after the series finished. then you would have it being animated later that year giving us some more time with FMA.

No, go away. I need my fix now.

[Southe,]

its only been like a month and a bit! xD you have the movie to look forward to. and they could always make a tv special again.

Just me but i would rather have FMA around a little longer not just until the movie comes out. D;

[Neversoft]

I guess they're just chasing in on the popularity while they can.

Started to look for Hajime no Ippo dvds again and most sites are listing

"Dialogue : Japanese/English/Spanish
Subtitle : English/Off
Region : All Region, Free Code
Disc Type : DVD x 8 (2 x Boxset)
Screen : 4:3
Audio : Ac3, 2.0 Channel
Series Type : TV Series
System : NTSC
Episodes : 1-75
Running Time : Approximately 75 x 25 mins"

Confused Normaly bootlegs have chinese/english sub only. But this has a English dub aswell. doesn't list chinese subs D: but it dosent say Geneon as the maker. £45 might be willing to try go for it. doesn't look like i'll find a legit copy for a decent price

[Neversoft]

Redline (Scottish premiere, HDCAM)
Redline (HDCAM)

You have to go and see this. I am thankful England already got Redline months ago, but a couple more showings over here wouldn't hurt. Oh and I have seen the Professor Layton movie and I thought it was amazing. I haven't even played the games either. Don't judge a book by its cover. ;)

[Southe,]

depends on how much tickets are gonna cost since there showings on there own i think. but i'll be seeing all of them minus layton if i can spare the momey mayb i will. hoping to get some ppl to go see SW

[Neversoft]

The Sci-Fi London Anime All-Nighter lineup should be released next month. They'll probably have Trigun and Haruhi as well, but all I care about is Redline! Although I would love to see Welcome to the Space Show as well. Can't wait for the BFI's next Anime Weekend either. Their lineup is always impressive, the only downside is having to pay for every film individually. I guess there are full festival tickets but they'll be expensive.

By the way, there is an interesting documentary on BBC Three tomorrow about some 14 year old girl who became popular in Japan after uploading videos of herself dancing on YouTube. The Adult Season has been really good so far, especially the 'Glamour Models, Mum and Me' documentary. I'll definitely be watching the one mentioned above.

[Niall!]

Why doesn't Belfast have any of this stuff :(

[Neversoft]

England and Scotland actually get loads of premieres and exclusive anime films. Sometimes I think we even get more than America. Tales From Earthsea is released in yank land tomorrow when we got it over here three years ago. There is actually a very dedicated anime following in the UK, or at least for anime movies anyway. There must be some screenings in Ireland. I know there are a few small-ish conventions at least.

There is actually an anime convention tomorrow for anyone in the Leicester area. It's called AmeCon and is running from August 13th to August 15th. It is actually one of the largest anime conventions in the UK. Guests include Brad Swaile, Akemi Solloway, Wendy Powell and 1 secret guest to be revealed at the convention. As always there will be loads of stuff to buy and people to meet and Beez are going to reveal their new anime licenses. They posted some clues...

License #1: sounds like a film released in the same year as Sword of the Stranger, but really isn't like it at all!

License #2: is all about the music, and isn't K-On!

License #3: Another slightly older title and one you have asked for again and again since its release in 2007!

License #4: you already know as it went through the BBFC and technically already was announced. It's a straight to AL set from Bandai Entertainment's past. - This one is most likely The Big O.

Here is AmeCon's wiki - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AmeCon

Also, damn Naruto has some crazily epic fights.

If only the rest was worth sitting through.

[Axel]

I don't think I'll ever watch Naruto, it just sounds like another Bleach, and I prefer shinigami to ninjas anyway. I remember when Bleach used to have good fights, back in the Soul Society arc.... Ichigo vs Byakuya was awesome, but the fights now are so annoying. Some are alright, but it's like one person tries an attack on the other, comments on how effective/ineffective it is, then the other person just does the same. Repeat that about 10 times over with different techniques and you have a Bleach fight.

[Neversoft]

Yeah, watching Bleach is like playing a turn based RPG. I watched the first couple of episodes of Naruto years ago but just gave up knowing it wouldn't be worth it in the long run. Everyone has to agree though that it has some amazing action sequences. The episode I posted above must have had at least three times the usual budget!

[Southe,]

Tbh thats all thats good with Naruto. The fights apart from that it sucks. Can't speak for bleach past Soul Society. And OP im biased.

Tho SW The end fight with Shiki <3 shame no ones got that on youtube yet.

The documentary was very good. I felt so sorry for Gemma, she was clearly shaken after seeing the demographics of her fans. I feel Beckii was a little unfair to her biggest fan as well, saying some uncertain things after he bought her a bass guitar. I just hope that doesn't bother him. That girl is soooooo lucky though.

blahblahblah
oh yeah, i watched that thing about the girls last night. Is it wrong i was cringing for most of it? I did feel sorry for Gemma, quite surprising she was so surprised by it but still felt sorry for her. I really didn't like becky though, as lucky as she was. Her personality just really annoyed me and reminded me so much of the japanofiles in my school. Nothing wrong with liking all that is japanese culture, but when u start trying to be them when you're in britain its like eurghhhhhhh, swo yeah, reminded me a lot of some people in my year that really annoy me which probably didnt help. God though, i dont get how that fan is so obsessed though, but she's still pretty damn lucky. Wish i got random presents (dont lie, those noodles were cool) from random people. Good watch though, albeit somewhat cringeworthy when they were dancing.

OH AND WHYD THEY SHOW HARUHI IN DUB. EURGH.

[Niall!]

Going to London NEXT year.

I've got my formal Soul costume half finished.

[Neversoft]

blahblahblah

Quite surprising she was so surprised by it? WHAT? Do you mean surprised by her demographics? For a 16 year old girl I don't think her reaction was surprising. It's unfortunate her mum doesn't seem to support her as much as Beckii's lot. What are you on about trying to be Japanese whilst in Britain though? She clearly made a point of not involving herself in some aspects of Japanese culture because even though she is famous in Japan, she said she still has a British mindset and she doesn't agree with everything the Japanese do. She got another producer and started recording songs in English after her Japanese success as well. Yeah, she loves Japan, but it isn't fair to say she is trying to be Japanese.

You would be surprised how dedicated fans are in Japan. When Aya Hirano (a Japanese singer and VA, most famous as the voice of Haruhi) announced that she was romantically involved with someone, loads of her fans sent her threat letters and said they would kill her. There have been a lot of Japanese films that have delt with fan obsession as well. Perfect Blue is about an obsessed fan who threatens to kill his favourite idol after she leaves her pop band and changes her image. In Takeshi Kitano's film Dolls a pop star is disfigured in a traffic accident and is forced to leave the whole world of pop culture and she refuses to see any of her old fans because of how she now looks. Upon hearing the news her most dedicated fan gouges his eyes out (making him blind) so he can meet his idol again.

I didn't cringe at the dances. I think I have become immune after seeing so many people dancing at the Expo. A lot of the time you can appreciate how well people do them. Oh and they showned Haruhi in dub because the target audience of the documentary wasn't anime fans! :P

She clearly made a point of not involving herself in some aspects of Japanese culture because even though she is famous in Japan, she said she still has a British mindset and she doesn't agree with everything the Japanese do. She got another producer and started recording songs in English after her Japanese success as well. Yeah, she loves Japan, but it isn't fair to say she is trying to be Japanese.

You would be surprised how dedicated fans are in Japan. When Aya Hirano (a Japanese singer and VA, most famous as the voice of Haruhi) announced that she was romantically involved with someone, loads of her fans sent her threat letters and said they would kill her. There have been a lot of Japanese films that have delt with fan obsession as well. Perfect Blue is about an obsessed fan who threatens to kill his favourite idol after she leaves her pop band and changes her image. In Takeshi Kitano's film Dolls a pop star is disfigured in a traffic accident and is forced to leave the whole world of pop culture and she refuses to see any of her old fans because of how she now looks. Upon hearing the news her most dedicated fan gouges his eyes out (making him blind) so he can meet his idol again.

I didn't cringe at the dances. I think I have become immune after seeing so many people dancing at the Expo. A lot of the time you can appreciate how well people do them. Oh and they showned Haruhi in dub because the target audience of the documentary wasn't anime fans! :P
Okay i put it wrong, not entirely sure of how to put it, but if i think of a way i'll tell ya.

It's quite mad, completely different to britain in that respect. Quite bad really if you think about it.

Yeah you've become immune, it just felt awkard watching it too, idk.

Wow she dances to some music in front of a cam. Yawn.

Wow she dances to some music in front of a cam. Yawn.

Yet she's making thousands and is famous in Japan. H0W D0EZ D4T WRK 0UT?

she's a girl and she's young.

OH AND HER VOICE. Awful.

[Neversoft]

she's a girl and she's young.

So is everyone else who dances on YouTube minus the old men. :P I was only joking anyway, the documentary clearly explains what makes her different from the rest.

[Nemo]

So is everyone else who dances on YouTube minus the old men. :P
well someone has to get noticed, she was the lucky one.

[Neversoft]

well someone has to get noticed, she was the lucky one.

See my edit. I did watch the documentary you know. :eusa_wall

[Southe,]

i dont wanna waste an hour watching this so tell me what makes her diffrent?

[Neversoft]

No, because if you actually cared you would watch the documentary. It isn't a wasted hour.

[Southe,]

Pfft no loss to me then.

[Neversoft]

Get a life. Get swiftcovered.

Nearly finished downloading all three seasons of Japanorama.

Goon-dam lolololololololololololololol.

[Southe,]

See his show i liked.

[Neversoft]

Haters gonna hate. Even though you haven't even watched the other documentary. I hate it when people judge something by it's cover. All of the BBC's documentaries on Japan have been ace, especially Japan: A Story of Love and Hate. I was emotionally moved after watching that.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJkiMG5xhZI

I hope they do a follow-up in a few years. Would be wonderful to see how Naoki and Yoshie are getting on.

[Southe,]

i don't find the idea of a 14 year old girl being famous for jumping around on a cam to music interesting at all. so why would i watch a documentary on it?

[Neversoft]

I really do facepalm myself a lot reading posts on this forum. Again, don't judge a book by it's cover. And before you get smart on me, yes it's a film and not a book, but you get what I mean. I really couldn't care less if you watched it or not anyway, I just hate it when people judge without having any knowledge of what they're talking about. The documentary could be the best thing since sliced bread for all you know, but I don't care and you don't care, so that's the end of that.

On to something new...

Thinking of starting Tentai Senshi Sunred. It'll be my first new series in like three months.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMNgSgG9AMQ

It seems like a cross between Arakawa Under the Bridge, Cromartie High School and Gintama.

By the way Neev, after you're done with One Piece forget everything else I recommended you for a while and watch Cromartie High School. It's a 26 episode comedy series set in an eccentric delinquent high school, although each episode is only 13 minutes long. If you don't like it by episode 3 you have permission to hate me. The opening is awesome too.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feTAsKPssN4

[Southe,]

i know what the expression means.

essentially thats what the documentary is about. Her being famous for doing that, what she does, Some of the problems of being young etc "Reads Iplayer" Looks like i was right.

That's what these information bits are for, like the back of a book. It gives you and idea of what the book or in this case documentary is about to intice you to read/watch. Just because i don't like the sound of it dosen't mean my post is facepalm worthy. In your view its a good documentary in my view it would be a waste of an hour. It's called having an opinion.

Anyway

Durarara!! or Reborn. Not decided on which to watch next.

[Neversoft]

But you don't truly know what the book is about or what it is like until you read it, no? The blurb is there to sell the product and to get peope interested, a lot of the time it only describes a fraction of the actual picture. I never denied you an opinion, isn't it funny how you always think I have. I just simply hate it when people cast around judgements unfairly, which is what you're doing. I am sure if I said One Piece was crap because pirates are lame you'd have a thing or two to say. It's also funny how whenever I present an end to things you always insist on continuing. What a pain. I am not going to persevere with this absolutely pointless and unnecessary debate because we never see eye to eye.

Back to anime, please.

[Neversoft]

Beez are going to reveal their new anime licenses. They posted some clues...

License #1: sounds like a film released in the same year as Sword of the Stranger, but really isn't like it at all!

License #2: is all about the music, and isn't K-On!

License #3: Another slightly older title and one you have asked for again and again since its release in 2007!

License #4: you already know as it went through the BBFC and technically already was announced. It's a straight to AL set from Bandai Entertainment's past. - This one is most likely The Big O.

Beez are going to release Lucky Star in two box sets and it will include the OVA. They also licensed Sora no Woto, The Girl Who Leapt Through Space and Outlaw Star.

They're also releasing both Durarara!! in October in time for the MCM Expo. It will be sub only and a dub will be released later on and will be released over three DVDs (8-9 episodes per disc) and the RRP is £24.99 each, which is disgustingly expensive if I am honest. It should be more like £24.99 for all three, unless the website I am getting this news from has it wrong (which is likely).

Beez also said it is now possible to release titles in the UK the same year they are broadcast in Japan, so heres hoping for some good, quick releases in the future. Aparrently they would like to bring the Gurren Lagann movies to the UK, but have mixed feelings. No loss there, though.

Manga Entertainment licensed Eden of the East and Baccano and will release Eden in November, so it'll probably make it to the Expo in October. Baccano! will also be out in October but the RRP is £39.99. It is a 16 episode series, why is it so overpriced. Thank God for Amazon selling it for £26.99. Oh and Eden will also be released in blu-ray and the DVD version will only cost £14.99 on Amazon. That's more like it!

Some more info...
- A french company, according to BEEZ, are sitting on the UK rights for Dragon Ball Z.
- Generally if there is a UK licensee for a Blu-Ray title then USA release is Region locked.

MVM also expressed concerns with releasing blu-ray titles in the UK even though they have the rights to some. Beez seem to be of the same opinion. It seems there just simply isn't a big enough market to release anime in blu-ray in this country.

A lot of interesting news. More to come in October at the MCM Expo as well. I am glad Manga and Beez are going to be releasing Baccano! and Durarara!! respectively, I just hope they aren't too expensive at the Expo. I hope they bring down the price of the Gurren Lagann DVDs soon as well. Around £3 per episode is just too much. Anyway, at least Beez seem to be bringing some life back into the UK anime market after the demise of ADV. Unfortunately it seems nothing will happen with all the licenses we lost, at least not unless we invade America.

[Neversoft]

Can't edit but the blu-ray version of Eden of the East will retail at £34.99 but you can pre-order it on Amazon for only £17.47. At times like this I wish I had a blu-ray player.

The industry is moving in a really positive direction by releasing entire series in only one or two sets instead of up to seven individual volumes. Manga publishers are also doing the same by favouring large omnibus volumes instead of the usual 200 page book.

Plus, you wouldn't believe it but we're getting DRRR!! in October while America isn't getting it until January 2011. Let's all hold hands a rejoice.

[Axel]

I was in HMV in Cambridge yesterday, they had an anime section so I thought I'd check it out. They had Claymore, Champloo, and a couple more box sets like Black Lagoon which I haven't watched, but they were all £40. :( Dunno what I was expecting, but I don't have £40 to spend on something I can get for free online.

Also, Avatar was in the anime section.

[Neversoft]

Most 26 episode series are £40 in stores like HMV where they actually think they can sell anime series at retail price. Hell, the Cowboy Bebop Remix Collection is £49.99 in my local HMV and Evangelion 1.11, a 90 minute movie, was £19.99 at one point. They've got a few bargins but HMV is usually a rip off.

[Southe,]

On iPod so I'll make it blunt

24.99 is fine because amazon will likely have it for 15.9
And £40 is bad for boxsets I got claymore for 15 and champloo for 20
Hmv suck for DVDs hence why I buy online

There are 6 new catch up tv channelts - Yahoo 7, ITV, Animax, NOS YLE Areena, a red triangle next to a three (?)

So, PS3 owners will be able to watch anime on their PS3s from now on.

[Neversoft]

Holy ****, Claymore for 15.

The entire Claymore series has been extremely cheap on Amazon for ages. Although I think they actually put it up by a pound or two recently... still, it's only £16.99. I should really buy it while I can.

Tempted to go downstairs and watch it, but do i want to is the question.

[Neversoft]

No, you don't want to. The movie is extremely dire.

[Nemo]

No, you don't want to. The movie is extremely dire.
Then i shan't. Back to whatever i was doing

[Southe,]

Kinda liked the death note movies slot better thAn dragon ball

[Neversoft]

I couldn't take them seriously because of the acting. L's shock and him falling off his chair was so fake and the guy who played Light is so wooden. He is the same guy who played Kaiji in the live action Kaiji movie recently as well. Another crappy adaptation and another bad performance.

Also, it seems you have made it into the Frogger tournament with me Ryuzaki. Let the showdown begin!

[Southe,]

yea the chair bit was a bit crap.

And i made it into Frogger, Space Invaders and Pac Man. i only care about Pacman but my 1st game was dreadful.

[Neversoft]

I got to the final in the Pacman tournament but got eliminated by some guy who go 34,000. Just beat my old score on Frogger though, ranked 4th now. This ones in the bag!

Also, I just downloaded Dragon Quest IX. It looks pretty good but I've never actually played it. Anyone else got it? Also, any patches out for Pokemon HG/SS yet?

[Southe,]

DQ is alright not played it much yet tho

[Neversoft]

Just beat my old score on Frogger though, ranked 4th now. This ones in the bag!

Now I go and get eliminated *cry* Oh well, at least it was by the champion.

[Southe,]

im screwed with frogger i suck at it.

and i want ippo on dvd buit dno if i wanna pay £85 each on 2 boxsets >_<

[Neversoft]

£85 is a bit much even for a long series. :P

[Southe,]

£170 cos its 2 boxsets. xD but i want ippo on dvd.was Hoping funimation would do what they done with other series from companys re-release them but nothing :(

[Neversoft]

Well I don't think Ippo is particularly well known. Even in Japan it underperformed. I'd never spend that much on a series but it's up to you. :P

[Southe,]

i dno hmm and Pacman champ again ;D

[Neversoft]

I'm the Snake champion but my Frogger skills have gone walkabout. I don't play the games in the arcade often because a lot of them really bring my piss to a boil. Especially Adventure Golf. :P

[Neversoft]

Woohoo, Manga Entertainment are releasing Redline on DVD and Blu-ray around May next year! Still, I want to see it at the cinema dammit!


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9fhQVMzlC0

MVM are re-releasing a bunch of stuff as well, including Ergo Proxy, FLCL, Trigun, Berserk, Seirei no Moribito, Fate/Stay Night, Samurai 7 and many others.

[Southe,]

Can't watch anymore peoples top 10 anime op's on youtube always have crap ones or overused/hyped ones

[Neversoft]

Its just been announced that Satoshi Kon has passed away. I just can't believe it... he was by far my favourite anime director and clearly one of the best minds working in the film industry today. His movies were always entertaining, very original and beautifully told. Rest in peace Satoshi Kon. I just can't believe this has happened... it's so sudden... I hope his new movie is completed and then released in his honour. I am sure it is what he would have wanted.

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-08-24/award-winning-director-satoshi-kon-passes-away

[Southe,]

sucks was pretty young aswell o well ill buy Paranoia Agent in his honor xD may be pick up paprika on blu ray aswell.

[Neversoft]

Yeah, I went and bought Paprika on Amazon soon after I heard the news. It's the last of his films I had yet to own. Think I'll give his whole collection a watch in the coming weeks. Still can't believe he's gone. This is the saddest death since Steve Irwin for me.

[Neversoft]

There was a farewell message posted on Satoshi Kon's website where he talks about the day (May 18th) he was told that his cancer was terminal and had spread to his bones. He was also told by doctors that at most, he only had half a year left.

He also spoke about meeting with MADHOUSE founder Masao Maruyama about the final anime film he was directing, and said:

"When I conveyed my concerns for Yume-Miru Kikai to Mr. Maruyama, he said, "It's fine. Don't worry, we'll do whatever it takes."

I cried.

I cried aloud."

Kon ended his message with:

"With feelings of gratitude for all that is good in this world, I put down my pen.

Well, I'll be leaving now.

Satoshi Kon"

Farewell a true visionary and a godfather of anime. Still can't believe it...

found out in my new job i can take a £500 loan and all i pay ni interest is £6.50 tempted like to mass buy a bunch of stuff.

Also save to assume im Habbox Champion of Champions. I won Asteroids, Pacman and Space invaders against all the winners. wonder what the prize was xD

[Neversoft]

I spent about £100 on manga last month and I have still got loads of money left, but I just like hoarding it all. A lot of the stuff I buy is on impulse. I'll have to get another job now summer is coming to an end though and then I'll be in the money again. I could just work for a couple of months and then go on holiday to Japan... hmm...

For winning the arcade thing you get a bunch of stuff on Habbo and some VIP and rep I think. Seeing as how you won three out of four tournaments I think you'll have to enter a tournament against the Frogger winner (which should have been me) and whoever wins that will win the main prize.

[Southe,]

thats been done. im the winner.

I won Pacman. i then beat the other 3 winners at 3 of the games and lost at frogger.

and i have a few impulse buys but most are stuff i wanted. £500 could get me ippo ;D

Quick question;

Do any of you guys do any cosplay at cons? Or am I the only one?

[Neversoft]

I think you and I are the only people on this forum who go to cons, so yeah you're the only one. I would like to cosplay as Friend (http://media.lunch.com/d/d7/135318.jpg) but getting and making the correct mask has proven a little tricky and purchasing the clothes would cost quite a bit. Maybe when I actually have a steady income I will indulge in some cosplay, but until then I would rather spend what money I do have on other things.

Nail already invited you to hang with him. :P To be honest I always go with friends but we usually split up since it's such a big place that you're all going to want to do your own thing instead of tagging along with each other. It's good to go with friends if you're staying at a hotel (which I do) so you have someone to hang out with at night, but since you live in London that isn't really a problem as you could just go home when the event is over. Although if you go to the Premier Inn hotel just down the road pretty much anyone will let you hang out with them. It's what me and my friends did the Friday before the Expo last time we went. On Expo weekend that hotel is absolutely packed. It's actually like a mini expo before the actual one since even though it's a Friday most people are in cosplay anyway. The atmosphere is great. If you ever do go you're going to regret missing out on all the prior Expos. :P


Nope. Paul can't make it in May, we're only going to the October one next year :)

Oh, I'll be there in October as well anyway (agan assuming my life doesn't change too dramatically). My first Expo was May 2008 and I have continued to go every year (in both May and October) since, except the one in October 2008 which I missed due to... I don't even know why I missed it. I wonder if the Expo in 2012 will be cancelled due to the Olympic Games. Some of the events are actually being held in the Excel Centre.

Only a straw hat? So the rest of you would be naked? Funny thing is you probably wouldn't stand out much. There is this one girl that always attends in her bathing suit and there are others wrapped up in only cloth and some only covered by bandages. Some nice underboob goin' down at the Expo.


- Do they play films at London Expo? I hope they play Strong World so if i do go down ill be able to see some OP fans ;D

Not at the Expo but they do at the Anime All-Nighter event which I have been going on about. :P It is held at London's Apollo Piccadilly cinema in May and October, the same months as the Expo. The lineup will be released in a few weeks.

Anyway, really going now! Bye.

[Southe,]

Just hide my big story xD


not all londons fault but.
- Sunday 9am i got up when to work all that stuff then did an all nighter.
- Monday 10pm i get a coach down to London
- Tuesday 7am Arrive in London after a terrible 9 hour trip where i couldnt sleep, sit comfy, Time Dragged on, No wifi when promised it, And a man next to me sleeping and constantly falling onto me.
- Walked to the venue in london to see Dir en grey, got there at about 11:30, Que was massive so went to pub and had a pint then went and que'd. at about 12 till 6 seen dir en grey which were awesome.
- Got out. Tried walking back to the bus station. Where we got lost and walked around for about 3-4 Hours my legs where killing me and i was shattered, Got to Bus place at about 3am slept outside until about 4 till we where alowed in my the seats and fell asleep on the floor. was just me and my mate. I woke up at about 7am to the place fully packed. and i was like o.O.
- Asked driver if i could join my friends bus at 9 since i had payed for a ticket and of there was space in an early one got told they werent stopping at edinburgh [ which they did ]
- Had to wait until 3:30 until my bus came which was 9 hours long, Heating on full blast, smelly, Bunch of english girls constantly laughing, and uncomfy and no wifi once again.

And time before that i ended up being homeless for a night in london on my own and ended up busting my knee for about a month. Luckily because im working in the Railway now i can get the Sleeper from Edinburgh > London for free so its all good.

Niamh you suck. This forum has had plenty of off topic posts. I don't feel safe with you around, all trialist mods are trigger happy. :<

On topic, I'm still bummed out that the list for anime coming out in Fall is fake. Whoever made that list is a douche for getting my hopes up about a remake of Claymore. I don't see why they don't remake it anyway, if MAL is anything to go by, it's the 12th 'most popular' manga, it's deserves a decent anime counterpart, considering how awesome it is, just like Brohood got. The current anime gives the manga a bad name with that ending. :(

Did they ever release a real version then? I dont think i was ever sure of the one after that since it was possible that was fake too. And yeah, the ending for it was so damn awful.

That chart has actually been popping up here and there for quite some time. :P Anyway, I think Claymore may get a remake sometime, or a continuation excluding the last episodes of the original series, but not for a while because the manga is monthly and there simply isn't enough material there to do it now.

And yeah, pretty dead. Not really had anything to talk about since ive just been rewatching mostly. How was the holiday?

also yey, chartfag.

[Neversoft]

How was the holiday?

lulwut? A moderator is trying to get me to post off topic! You scheming good-for-nothing!

Aaaaaahhhhhhhh! Japanese cinema season at London's Barbican and Takeshi Kitano has already sold out! Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

In anime news, Pretty Cure has replaced Tokyo Mew Mew on PopGirl. Let's all celebrate and watch it like little girls.

Now I have talked about anime my post is no longer off topic so I can mention my holiday. It was pretty good, but darn hot. 35℃ is toooooo hot for me. Still, it meant the sea was rather warm and very swimmable. Unfortunately minimal waves but loads of fish to see if you have a snorkel. There isn't much to do in Crete other that hang about the beaches though, as its too darn hot to walk around all day and there wasn't much around where we were staying. We did go to the capital though, which was alright but Greek people are mental drivers. The restaurant staff are very kind though. All in all, good holiday but Crete isn't somewhere I would visit again in a hurry.

Blast, you are a worthy adversary. However i will get you one day!

Already sold out? when did the tickets go on sale?
And just realised i have like half of cromartie to watch still.




ANYWAY, 35 is a tad hot :P I can imagine. When i went to spain for the first time (first ever time on a plane woop), it was during a heatwave. So not only were we boiling, but it was a good 40 or 45 degrees. Our apartment didnt have air conditioning because we were cheap. We'd run out of bread, so i volunteered since the shop had lovely air conditioning, but not realising that shops have weird opening times there and whatever, i'd walked for like 10 mins in the midday which was absolutely horrible, got to the shop, it was closed. Had to walk back and almost feinted on the way :( But still, your holiday sounds nice. Nothing better than just lazily roaming around the beach and dipping into the sea. Sounds perfection to me :P Atleast you had a good time overall, even if you dont wanna go back.

[Neversoft]

I think the website I was reading from was misinformed as there seems to be many tickets still avaliable. I am going to book Hana-bi for the 14th of November. Can't wait to see this bad boy on the big screen!

OMG you're watching Cromartie? Is it funny or what? Please tell me you're watching it in Japanese. Episode three was absolute genius.

Yeah it was a good holiday, but I just don't like the heat too much so I wouldn't want to return in summer at least. I'll do a winter visit any time. We have a family friend who has a house over there so that is where we stayed. I don't think the house had air conditioning though, but it did have an electric fan I enjoyed sitting around. What I enjoyed most was probably the fact that I was away from home and so away from my worries and commitments. Now I am back I am going to have to go and find a job. Oh joy! Meh, I'll start looking on Wednesday or something. I'll chill out until then.

Yeah im watching, well kind of took a break in the middle. It does have its funny parts, but the humming episode seriously got on my nerves, but other than that its been good. Its super random though. And yeah ofc subbed. Although, even though episode 3 ( the humming episode) did get on my nerves a load, i did find some of it real funny.

**** going in the winter lol, you're so english. too used to the cold you are. And when i went spain, fans were useless, it just blew hot air into your face so really didnt help at all. I dont think i have any worries or commitments, things are really good atm, so woooopeeeee. you got any idea what kind of job you're gonna get? Or just like a part time thing for now?

[Neversoft]

Wow, you didn't like episode three? What has the world come to.

I don't mind the heat but I don't like it stupidly hot. I guess I am very English when it comes to the temperature.

Yeah well you're still a student, haven't even taken your GCSE's yet have you? Of course you'll have no worries or commitments, haha. Just wait until you're out in the big, wide world though. Right now I have no idea what job I would like. I have college degrees in Media, so I could go down the route of journalism, photography, filmmaking, etc but you really can't make a living out of that straight away so I'll probably pursue something else first. I'd love to work with animals, so I might ask around at the catteries and kennels near me, but I will probably need qualifictions in some places. I don't want to claim Job Seekers Allowance even though it is free money and I don't want to sign onto any agencies because I am really stubborn and prefer to do things my own way, only in this day and age it isn't so easy. :P I don't want to work with a group of strangers either and don't want to have to help anyone out and act kind when really I am full of malicious thoughts inside (supermarkets). I'll just go with the flow and see what happens.

Hah.

Go die! I just got my results, college starts on wednesday. And yeah i do have worries hmph. The big wide world has come to me early :P, but my god you sound hopeless. I dont actually know what to say to that. Sounds like you dont want a job O.o

[Neversoft]

Weren't you like 15 until a couple of days ago? And college isn't the big, wide world, college is just another bit of fun. I am rather hopeless but really who wants a job if it can be avoided. What I would have loved to do was to join this thing called the JET program where they select English speakers from all over the world and send them to Japan for up to five years to teach English in schools. That'll do someone like me just fine, but the only problem is you need a bachelor's degree but I never went to uni and I don't want to go and study for another four years now. I was seriously going to sign up for it but when I read that you needed a uni degree my dreams were crushed. There are alternatives though, so I will investigate them.

My life is eerily similar to Sasahara's in Genshiken. He had a lot of fun and adventures in college, but after graduation he didn't do much and seemed lost, but after failing at many job interviews he finally found his place in life when he was accepted as an assistant magazine editor. A quote by Iroh at the end of the second season of Avatar also comes to mind;

"Life is like this dark tunnel. You may not always see the light at the end of the tunnel, but if you keep moving, you will come to a better place."

What I lack is motivation. Probably because I found out I couldn't do what I wanted and the fact that where I live isn't really a nice place to work. I'll find my voice sooner or later though, many people go through this phase. I think I'll be fine as long as I try.

[Niall!]

Been watching Ookami-San

It's not a generic high school show. The characters are genuinely interesting, and **** has hit the fan now. Can't wait for the next episode!

[Axel]

So I've finally finished all of Darker than Black - OVAs, Season 2, etc etc. I really really liked the first season, the OVAs were very good too but not as good, then I really really liked the second season... until the endings. That was a bit of a let down.

What to watch next? I have loads of stuff on plan to watch, and I still need to continue with Gintama and TTGL I suppose. TTGL seemed really dull though, I don't get what all the fuss is about. Well, not dull, but it wasn't anything amazing from what I saw, and it was a bit stupid.

Maybe Monster next.

[Neversoft]

TTGL seemed really dull

...what?

[Axel]

I don't get the obsession with it... it just seems way over the top and not that entertaining? Swear I'm missing something.

Also the animation is kinda sucky.

[Neversoft]

It seems over the top because it is supposed to, and actually Gurren Lagann had one of the largest budgets for an anime series in recent times. The animation is fantastic. :S Unless you're doing a Niamh in which case you actually mean the art style. If so... WHAT?

[Axel]

Really? From the first few episodes the animation doesn't seem that good. And I know it's not meant to be super serious but still, it's not very gripping. And it's just plain weird, like how Kamina just puts grabs Simon's Lagann and sticks it ontop of his Gurren and it's like oh ok now they're combined through BROTHERLY LOVE.

It's explained later how they actually combined.

[Neversoft]

Some episode had twice the amount of frames a normal anime episode has. The animation is ridiculously fluid and during the second half of the series there is so much going on that you'll get eye cancer.

They didn't combine through brotherly love they combined through manly spiral power! I think you're trying to take it too seriously. The series is meant to be silly, it is supposed to break the rules of psyics and reality (the final battle is in space with mechs 'more than 10 million light years in height' throwing galaxies at each other), it is just supposed to be a bit of fun which it most definitely is if you just give it a chance, but I guess everyone has different tastes.

[Axel]

I am giving it a chance, I even torrented the whole series cos I had high hopes for it, but it doesn't seem that good. I'll give it another chance, I'm on episode 5 or something.

[Neversoft]

Well to each his own.

I wish Studio 4°C would make an anime out of Taiyo Matsumoto's Ping Pong manga. It would be sooooooooooooo amazing. Gogo Monster needs an anime as well. I can't believe Tekkonkinkreet is the only one that has been adapted.

Good film that, even better in HD ;D got the BD for something like £6. was actually my 1st BD along with Afro Samurai. Just the opening sequence alone was worth the £6.

GL is Awesomely Epic. Don't see whats so good about Code Gease or w.e

i wish they would make Ippo season 3.

[Southe,]

nope but half the opinions i read/get told is its either amazing or over rated.

Only watch series i like the look off or the plot summary interests me. I may watch CG but its not on my to do list. if Beez release an anime legends set may be tempted to buy that

dont get me started already have this with my friend and yu gi oh. Story dosent interest me. so i wont waste my time. Rather watch something with Samurai's :D

[Neversoft]

Don't see whats so good about Code Gease or w.e

Hallelujah! Code Geass is actually one of the worst anime series I have ever seen.

I wish they would make a third season of Hajime no Ippo as well but it ain't gonna show up for a long while lol. I am completely satisfied with Takamura's fight at the end of the second season though so I don't mind waiting. Actually, lets remind ourselves of that fight.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCycxdajrgE

Oh my god Hajime no Ippo is amazing. Forget waiting and being satisfied, I want another season now! The director of the first series is currently working on a new Hajime no Ippo movie as well. I neeeeeeeeeeeed to see it!

[Southe,]

ill be meeting him next month ;D

[Neversoft]

Ask him about Ippo. He's also the guy who directed Trigun - tell him we need a remake that follows the manga lol. I wish I bought Trigun in Forbidden Planet when I had the chance... it was only £24 for the entire series. Oh well, MVM are re-releasing it so I'll pick the new version up when I can.

[Southe,]

need to see if it will clash with my new job. if not i'll be going.

[Axel]

Instead of watching TTGL I've picked up Gintama again. I just watched episode 49, a casino episode. Was kinda funny.

And I just found this Gintama comic panel, it's hilarious.

LOL that episode was hilarious! You should stop looking at these images though because it'll lessen the impact when you get there in the anime. :P The next episode (ep 50) is highly regarded as one of the best fillers around. The Gintama crew wonder where the show is headed and all suggest new directions for it to take. Tons of references and ultra funny stuff. You're approaching the first serious arc as well (ep 58 to 62 I think) then theres the Kyuubei arc following that with one of the funniest episodes of the whole series (ep 79).


Forgot to ask proof pls?

"The second trailer screened was for the second series of Fighting Spirit (Hajime no Ippo). The series has a new director, Jun Shishido, who also worked on The Story of Saiunkoku. Maruyama called the series a "fresh look" for the storyline, and also mentioned that the director of the previous Fighting Spirit series is currently working on a Fighting Spirit movie."

Ordered my tickets for Strong world, Eva 2.0 and Trigun. may see more depending on if i cba and money etc.

[Neversoft]

I saw Evangelion 2.0 on the big screen in October. It actually kicked my ass 'til **** came out of my ears. Great stuff. You'll regret not seeing Redline though.

By the way everyone, there is a film called Zatoichi on Film4 at 1:10am on Friday September 17th. You should all watch it because it contains some of the best samurai action you will ever see in a movie, plus it was directed by and stars Beat Takeshi himself. You simply couldn't ask for more.

Well, it's in his signature, so it is his kind of.

[Neversoft]

But he didn't start it did he?

Well no, but he's supporting it and part of it and stuff, he's part of the petition so it's basically his. He doesn't own it or anything, but ye.

Didnt the voice actor of Takamura confirm a 3rd season by sesaon "Of course! we are working on a sequel"

[Neversoft]

It's that time of the month again already? Forget about the third season of Hajime no Ippo, it isn't coming out for years.

Nobody likes a pessimist!

[Neversoft]

I'm not a pessimist, I am just being realistic. We actually talked about Hajime no Ippo two pages back and you'll see I am as hyped as you for a new season lol, but it just isn't going to happen any time soon.

[Southe,]

think what he meant was they will do another one when the time comes or something idk.. plus the 1st director has been busy with Trigun so yea pretty sure ippo is dead for the moment which is a shame. Wish funi would try get it >_<

when i get payed and have lots of money gonna splurge on bunch of stuff ;D

and im getting the weekend off for the Scotland loves anime so i may just go see the rest of the films. means i canmake my MAL list bigger.

[Neversoft]

GO AND WATCH REDLINE AND LAUGH IN MY FACE AFTERWARDS BECAUSE WHEN I HAD A CHANCE TO SEE IT I DIDN'T GO AND REALLY REGRET IT NOW

Also, the Anime-All Nighter lineup has been announced. Well there are two anime all-nighters this time actually.

No one wants to see OP ;-; one of my mates is but no one else sucks. bet you if it where naruto they would all be rushing in there

[Neversoft]

Already seen Strong World twice and forget about Naruto! I want to see the Gintama movie!

[Southe,]

Having another DB vs OP argument with my mate again. hes like the DB version of a narutard. and obviously im obssessed with OP xD.

He dosent understand that DBZ follows Lose > Train > SSJ > Win. where as OP actualy changes things a bit each island but he says it dosent >_< and selling more books means nothing aswell.

[Neversoft]

Selling more books does mean nothing otherwise Bleach would be amazing.

[Southe,]

Bleach isn't tho hasn't broke the 100million Mark

[Southe,]

Got my FMA blu ray been watching that, Blu ray does make a diffrence :D 3 more to get and Eden next month

[Neversoft]

Bleach isn't tho hasn't broke the 100million Mark
But it has sold one hell of a lot.

I feel sad, I've not visited for a few days and then it's been almost a week since the last post in this thread. :(

I'd love to talk about anime but I barely watch it anymore. I just read Bleach weekly.

Yeah, I was waiting for Ryuzaki to reply but I guess he isn't going to. I am pretty much the same as you though. Besides six episodes of PaniPoni Dash, I haven't watched an anime series in over three months. I still watch the occasional anime movie and read the odd manga, but even they have taken a back seat. It's funny, now I have so much time on my hands I am always doing other things. You would have thought I could fit in some anime but I guess it just isn't the same without Gintama. I am sure I'll get back into it eventually but now is just a dry time for anime, haha.

[Nemo]

I think we're all goingt through that, ive only been watching one piece and the occasional re-watching of something random. Nothing new in a while D;

[Neversoft]

The first episode of Gainax's new series that was apparently highly influenced by The Powerpuff Girls is out today. I'm gonna watch it and see if it does anything for me, although I never was a fan of The Powerpuff Girls. Although this is Gainax... they did Evangelion and Gurren Lagann, if anyone can make it good its them.

Looks rather eccentric anyway, haha. I'll let you guys know what I think.

[Southe,]

Ah been busy and was focused with op thread lol. I have my DVDs to watch so I'm fine. When's bakuman anime start?

[Neversoft]

Started yesterday I think. I'll probably just stick with the manga since I have read the first five volumes. Although I haven't read it in months...

Decided to start watching Utawarerumono again. Its been three years since I last visited this series. I can't believe this was the second proper anime I ever watched haha. I'm glad I started with such a good series.
