General Discussion

[Neversoft]

I noticed we don't have a general discussion thread for anime. We have one for manga and we used to have one for anime, but that kind of died out. So here's a general discussion thread for anything relating to anime. Discuss whatever anime you're watching now, whatever episode you watched last, post any questions, etc.

I finally got around to watching Rebuild of Evangelion: 1.0 YOU ARE (NOT) ALONE. The first in a series of four movies which retell the Neon Genesis Evangelion TV series. Watching it with current, up-to-date animation is goooood! Of course, a few things have been cut from the TV series but it still works surprisingly well. Judging from the trailer for the second movie quite a few things have been added as well. Which is great news because I'm liking what I see.

I miss naruto :(



Watch list:

Bleach 113/114
Claymore 19 - 22
DBZ - 103+
Elemental Gelade 13 +
Monster 1+



Oh btw Is monster good?

[PaulMacC]

Dont watch Monster, the dub is horrible and boy do I mean horrible it sounds as if it was recorded of a phone. Monster is good very dark and long storyline but it drags on a little.
They changed the first opening of Naruto for the dub, that sucks the first Naruto opening owns that in every way possible, ROCKS ftw.

[Neversoft]

The best openings are this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oT2W3gaUBc) and this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rL8LFPIF53A) and why the **** am I not able to watch Bleach opening 1 on YouTube? Not available in my country - ********!

The best ending that comes to mind is actually Soul Eater ED 4. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqrhJWaLxE0)

Best parody opening - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWRCSFLvxw0 :D

I watched the first four episodes of Monster last month, they were pretty good but I can see how it may drag on a little. I might just read the manga since it's done by the same guy who did 20th Century Boys. Although there'd be so much dialogue...

i aint really talked about what anime i been watching recently.

Butttttttttttt


I finished the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya liek 2 weeks ago, that was good. Wasnt the best thing ever but it was good.

Now am watchin trigun, on episode 10 and i love it so far. <3

[Neversoft]

Trigun is fantastic. It's also one of few series where the protagonists reason for not wanting to kill anyone despite being a super awesome mega skilled gunslinger is actually believable and makes sense. An iconic hero in Vash, and an iconic villain in both Legato (the most badass character EVER) and Knives. If you think it's good now then wait 'til later. It doesn't get any better than Trigun.

Right now I'm watching Seirei no Moribito after having it on-hold for a while. No idea why I had it on-hold though because it's amazing. One of, if not the best fantasy anime I've ever seen. Yes, better than Claymore!

Hence why I said if you think it's good now then wait 'til later. :8

When one villain is called Knives and when the other can control people with his mind you know they're going to be awesome. Met Nicholas D. Wolfwood yet? Another absolutely fantastic character right there, and just wait until the Gung-Ho Gun's are introduced! Wow, I just realised how good the characters in Trigun are. I'm so gonna buy it on DVD when I go to the Expo.

Are you not hardcore enough to acknowledge that opening as visual art or is it so awesome that it hurts you when mentioned?

I demand no Gintama DVD release! Let it remain unlicensed! :evil:

By the way, did you see the results for that survey on the most desired live action movie/drama adaptation of a manga by Japanese fans (http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=83250)?

1. Slam Dunk

4. Bokura ga Ita
5. Monster
6. Gintama
7. Ouran High School Host Club
8. Tenshi Nanka Ja Nai
9. Fullmetal Alchemist
10. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

Japanese fans want to destroy their own creation with a Gintama live action movie! How is Gintama supposed to be done in live action!?

[Southe,]

Nooo, Well i want funimation to do it. They always pick good voice actors for there dubs. and the subs are always correct. unlike the crap you get with viz dvds (naruto, bleach, death note) Series i need in my collection T.T

and yea im more concerned for One Piece ^^; Gintama is awesome and all but One Piece for me is like air, lol dont wanna be near me when oda finally finishes it.

Hate how they try make all these live actions moves id rather have cgi.. not some ****** live action movie. They ruined dragonball. now the death note rumour is zack efron to be light lol. another film ill be avoiding. atleast the jp ones were watch able

I didn't like the second opening at first either because I loved the first one. Looking back they're both really good openings though.

[Neversoft]

Anyone who doesn't like the second Death Note opening has no sense of awesome.

So I watched Origin: Spirits of the Past in Blu-ray yesterday. The animation was the because thing I've seen since 5 Centimeters Per Second, but it was quite an average movie. Nothing compared to The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.

Yura Yura is terrible, to make it worse the storyline was terrible when that intro was aired.
Did anyone watch the latest Dragonball Kai episode, I just noticed the ending of DBK says Kamehameha.
I like the episode and I love the way there is no fillers :]

[Jord]

I love yura yura I sign alone to all the naruto openings because im cool


AND


I am loving Elemental gelade right now episode 19 EPIC

RECOMMEND ME LOADS OF ANIME

Well in 2 months were on holidays and I will PLOW Through anime,

I went through 24 episodes of Gantz in around 1 day :) With sleep

[Neversoft]

The most anime I watched in one day was 22 episodes of Bleach, back to back. No breaks. :8 And then 15 episodes back to back with no breaks the next day. That was when I first started the series. :P I also watched the first 10 episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion in one day, and then the last 16 episodes the next day.

[Nemo]

When i watched FMA for the 2nd time i watched it in 2 days, what a great weekend that was.

[Axel]

When I first started watching bleach I watched 30 - 40 Episodes befor i went to bed and I started watching them early hours of the morning like 3am

That makes me sound sad :(

[PaulMacC]

Chris they're dubbing Gintama.

[Neversoft]

I find that hard to believe since Gintama isn't licensed. When it does get licensed one day though, the dub is going to be so digusting horrible I will cry.

[PaulMacC]

I was joking, they wont be able to dub it. The japanese comedy wont fit into the dubbing audience, it's something that can only be done in japanese. I finished the Benizakura arc, Episode 61 had some epic action with Gin and Katsura.

[Neversoft]

I know you were joking... but the chances are it really will get dubbed one day. By the way, if you think that action is good just wait 'til you see the Yoshiwara arc. The Kyuubei and Itou arcs are also amazingly good action-wise.

[PaulMacC]

I cant imagine what they would sound like, it just doesnt suit an anime character having an english voice.

[Neversoft]

Unless it's GUUUUUUUUUUUUUYVEEEEEEERRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Although dubs are in American voices, not English. They might at least be half good if English people dubebd anime. :eusa_danc

[PaulMacC]

Im really hooked on the 6th intro to Gintama. I think it may have slipped in to my top 5 anime :O

[Jord]

I finished elemental gelade watching HELLSING Now

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfh4EeoFJBg

Check the 1's part of part 1 out

[Jord]

Even better! HELLSING Is based in london

epicness win

Gintama could work dubbed but i hope someone would just release them on a sub only dvd -.- they wouldnt need to waste money on a dub and they make more money

Being based in London makes it epic? Oh god. I'd take Japan or some fantasy land over London any day.

Blasphemy! It would be horrible dubbed, and the humour would be lost in translation without a doubt. They'll Americanize it to death.

Please explain to me how they were silly. :rolleyes_

Also, I can tell already - you wouldn't like NGE.


first anime ive came across based in london or uk always NY Or Japan etc

The best anime based in England is the movie Steamboy in my opinion. The dub in that movie is awesome as well, they actually got English people to do most of it! Alfred Molina (Doc Ock from Spider-man) voices one of the main characters, and bloody Patrick Stewart voices one of the other main characters! Anna Paquin (Rogue from X-Men) also voices the protagonist with a very convincing English accent. This backs up my point - English dubs are goooooood!

The ultimate discussion
DUBS VS SUBS
No arguging just challenging points and not the person, gogogog.

As a rule. i will always watch a series Subbed first. Only Dubs i give a chance are the ones i buy on dvd. But mostly they end up being really bad so i stick to the subs. However, Funimation Dubs i enjoy greatly. I think they do a great job at picking the voices and giving us uncut titles. With a Funimation dvd i will Watch the Dub 1st then Sub. Funimation usually keeps everything just changes the voices so not alot to complain about.

Companys like 4kids that give them the worst kind of voice and heavely edit out i dont like. So really i dont mind either its just the people who choose Dubs and give really rubbish excuses. or even people who wont try the dub and will watch the sub version.

My main reason for watching Subs before dubs is. Thats the way it was made and meant to be seen. Dubs i think is just an excuse for me to rewatch it again and see a diffrent version. for example DBZ. Dub and Sub are completley diffrent dialogue wise so gives its rewatch value. where as Naruto i just sit there dispointed. And One Piece (4kids Ver. Funi's is on par with the sub imo) just makes mewant to smash the tv.

So yeah. Enjoy the wall of text.

[Jord]

2 New bleach, Gonna watch them befor I go bed

[Neversoft]

I prefer subs, without any doubt in my mind. I find them to be more engaging, better acted and directed and that Japanese seiyu's are a lot more passionate and talented and are able to bring out the characters true personalities a great deal better than American voice actors/actresses. Japanese seiyu's actually work with the director during the production of a series, movie or game. They are directed by the man in charge, the man who knows what hes doing and knows what he wants to create. American voice actor's are directed by an unfamiliar and forever changing sound director who hasn't the slightest idea of what he's doing nor has he any vision or influence over what he wants to create. Theres the problem. If the Japanese tried dubbing an American cartoon it would suck. It's because they wouldn't be involved in the actual production nor would they be directed by someone who understands the chemistry of the cartoon or by someone who knows whats going on. It's not just with anime, every dub sucks because of the lack of or missing input from the original creator or director. To produce a good dub, you need to work with someone who understand the product, some who has a clear vision of what is needed and what they want to create. You can't leave the dub up to someone who is unfamiliar with the product! But they have no choice to leave it up to someone else because of language problems, hence why dubs will always suck... and that is entirely my opinion, people.

[Southe,]

thought you said the NHK dub was decent?

And yes i agree with that you said, thats why i cant stand anything viz dubs. But yes while One Piece was casting for the new dub. Toei had a say in it aswell, but i think thats jus because thats there best show and didnt want it getting ripped apart again lol.

I would like to see an american show dubbed in jp.

[Neversoft]

Nope, I haven't even heard the dub for Welcome to the NHK. I know Chris Patton voices Satou though, and he was amazing in Guyver. Although his character in Guyver and his character in NHK are very different, I doubt I'd like him in Welcome to the NHK. I think Chris Patton is a good voice actor sometimes, but I've heard some dubs from him which are just terrible.

[Neversoft]

Damn you, give me my editing time back. Guess I'll have to post again...

I just remembered that Chris Patton also voiced the main character in The Place Promised in Our Early Days, which he was good in. His role in The Place Promised in Our Early Days and Guyver are quite comparable comparable though, while Satou requires very different acting. I fear Chris Patton would probably make the character more emotional than he should be. Satou doesn't have real emotion, he has a kind of strange, insane, misunderstood emotion. I read an interview with Patton talking about his role as Satou a while back and he mentioned the fact he used to be a shut in really helped him in his dub role. A normal person might think thats a good, positive comment, but that is bad. He shouldn't be using knowledge gained due to his life experiences to bring out Satou's character. Satou is nothing like a normal hikkikomori, and can't be anything like Chris Patton was when he was a shut in. Chris Patton seemed to understand the emotional side of hikkikomori's - good - but that's not how Satou should be acted. Although I'm saying all this without having listened to the dub, I could be very wrong. :P Anyway, that's just how I feel about Chris Patton voicing Satou. He maybe has it in him, but to me it seemed like he took the wrong approach.

[PaulMacC]

Tite Kubo is the best voice actor, he supported Kon in a Bleach movie and I rewatch the scenes all day.

It does sound good because i was thinking about buying it but the singles put me off. but manga entertainment suck... better not get a sub the dub again... Or would they just copy funimations dvd but have there name as the what ever its called xD

Anyway. One Piece is to be streamed alongside FMA on Funimations site they are putting up dub episodes aswell so can watch and see the diffrence between the two. Only for US and canda tho have to tinker with Firefox settings to view them.

[Southe,]

Why cant they just let you edit your post when ever you like >.>

One Piece is now the best selling manga to date. :D Finally beat dragonball
Heres a list of the rankings i think this is just Shonen Jump tho. But last time there was a check It was Kochikame, Dragonball, One Piece.

I watched DBK 7 and Eden 7 btw.

[LoveToStack]

Not that I'm rooting for it, but Naruto sales are pretty impressive considering how long its been out compared with one piece, which has been around for about 10 years is it now?

[Southe,]

lol Manga 1997 - Anime 1999 im sure naruto started 1999?

:D Im happy tho because One Piece is underated over here and in america.

[Neversoft]

I watched DBK 7 and Eden 7 btw.

How'd you do that? Eden 7 isn't out for another two days. Time travel much?

[PaulMacC]

Sorry Eden 6.

Europe also get a super awesome edition of Gurren Lagann! The series is 27 episodes long and instead of releasing 6 or 7 volumes, Beez are releasing 3 volumes with 9 episodes on each. They're also releasing two eiditons, a standard edition and a limted edition. The limited edition comes with loads of fancy extras. The first volume is out in June 22nd. I'm so getting the limited edition. :8 The days of buying anime DVDs are back. For me, anyway.

[PaulMacC]

Giniro no Sora, best J-pop song ever.
It has gone up 50 plays in the past 2 days on my itunes.

I'm about halfway through Texhnolyze and it's pretty safe to say that even electronic brain pancake crystal elderly. It's totally different from anything I've seen and I'd guarantee it's different from anything you've seen if you watch it. The way it's shot is confusing to say the least, it jumps frantically from character to character, many if not most of whom are never introduced formally so you're left to deduce everything from the visuals due to the fact that there is very little dialog, in the first episodes at least. The story is still kicking off and all though I somewhat know whats happening there's no explanation why or where it's going; at all. You'll need to be firing on all cylinders to actually make any sense of it, still I'll persevere just to see what happens. ;)

Sounds pretty good to me. Also sounds like a series thats fairly distant from the viewer since it doesn't really explain anything. That was the case in Ergo Proxy and I loved that. It's not like Bleach where you're always following the good guys, everything is explained to you and you always happen to be everywhere at the same time. I'll probably check Texhnolyze out, since it also has a cool name. The fact you say there is very little dialog also interests me. If I see the boxset at the Expo this weekend, I'll buy it.

Aslo, I just found out that Nightmare (the Japanese band that done the opening and ending for Death Note) make a cameo in the 20th Century Boys movie and I never even noticed.

well if you say the dvds are good then ill probably buy them. need to buy more dvds and manga. Dragonball Z Season 9 Came out and i dont have enought to get it ;-; lol i'll live

Dragon soul is out found a torrent of the single. full song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvpBmLm7OZE

Prefer the ending tho have to wait till next month

[LoveToStack]

But it's not like, oh there's missing pieces, it's more like the box with all the pieces in them is missing. A lot of the episodes you're left feeling like nothing of any notable value happened, it's mainly character development.

Well I do like my character development but if story progession is absent then thats a real kick in the teeth. I'll buy the boxset anyway because it should be cheap at the expo. Hopefully. :P

[LoveToStack]

You'll need to read the synopsis on wiki first probably. I did that and I feel if I hadn't I still probably wouldn't know what was going on.

[PaulMacC]

I was rewatching this AMV Chris sent me a while back, how awesome is it even if it is 3 years old - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CZUquFacpc
Probably one of the best I've seen, the sync is perfect

[Southe,]

Good lol just dont wanna pay money for another subbed dub.

Season 9 is the last box set. And also the last 2 movies have been released aswell. Dragonball GT has 2 box sets (with the 2nd movie having the GT move/special ) And have to wait until 2010 for any sign of Dragonball. The 2 DBZ specials are in a double feature aswell. And hoping they get the 2008 OVA.

[PaulMacC]

Ryuzaki you have to watch this AMV - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CZUquFacpc
I want everyones comment on it, I've watched it so many times xD

[Axel]

It's alright.

[PaulMacC]

HOW CAN YOU SAY IT'S ALRIGHT, IT'S A MASTERPIECE.

[PaulMacC]

Just watched Eden 7, Chris is at the expo so I'll leave this for him to answer when he gets back. What the hell happened to Takizawa, who got dosed with that illusion stuff him or Morimi. Also did Kuroha really sprout wings or was that the illusion drug messing with Morimi?
Argh, so confusing.

[Neversoft]

I'll report all the food DVDs I find in this thread.

Food DVDs? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense...

I'm not going to read that because it obviously contains spoilers for the episode but I'll reply after I've seen it. :P


Good lol just dont wanna pay money for another subbed dub.

The Gurren Lagann DVD was at the expo a month before it's actual release. :D :D :D I bought one and I assure you the boxset itself is amazing, as is the extras. I'll check to see how good the content on the discs are later.

[Southe,]

Klkl wish i had gone to the expo. were handing out One Piece posters. thats only thing i care about xD But yes ill be buying those dvds if there good.

The amv was good i just didnt like the song lol.

[Neversoft]

They were also handing out free DVDs. I have like four copies of the first volume of The Slayers, three different volumes of Wolfs Rain and one volume of Gundam. They were all from the freebie by my friends who didn't want them. They'll make me a nice profit on ebay. :D I could have got even more freebies - wish I did!

[PaulMacC]

You should of then built a tower of free dvds

[Southe,]

Bro got a copy of DB movie so i watched it it. Reallllly bad dont waste your time with it -.- acting is terrible

[PaulMacC]

When I go to that expo next year Im going to get so much free stuff and then it's going to sit in my clothes closet for years.

[Neversoft]

You don't get that much free stuff you know.

Argh, so confusing.

It's all an illusion. Saki must have been injected with something as she was making her way up to the room. Akira fell unconscious because of his wounds and Kuroha bandaged him up. Kuroha can't really have wings, it doesn't fit with the rest of the series. Also, the person Kuroha took with her probably was Osugi. On her phone it said 'super illusion material, three varieties' so disguising his face must have been one of the three illusions. It really isn't that confusing. Akira had a strange hallucination an episode or two ago so why are you surprised at this? :P

[PaulMacC]

Oh I cant remember that :P

[Neversoft]

Remember when all of those strange white bodies started talking to and bundling Akira after he jumped off the bridge at one of the missile destroyed sections of Japan.

[PaulMacC]

Oh yes yes remember now xD

[Neversoft]

Just watched Millinnium Actress. It easily ranks up there with other anime movies such as The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Sword of the Stranger and Spirited Away. Damn, it was such a good film. It's been a while since a movie has had such a big impact on me. I think I'll watch Paprika tomorrow, Tokyo Godfathers the day after and Perfect Blue the day after that. Satoshi Kon marathon for the win! What an outstanding director he is.

[Jord]

Bleach 118 - EPIC


that bald guy is awesome new fav person in bleach :)

[Neversoft]

I might have a mini Bleach marathon tonight to catch up. I'm quite far behind. There better be something good happening to compensate for the lack of Neliel!

Just a bunch of ugly ppls and their pillars.


Watch it and you'll understand.

[Neversoft]

Wheres Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel!?!?!?!?

On another note... just watched todays Gintama. The new arc so far is damn hilarious! Shinpachi's Otsu fanclub finally gets a chance to become become the Otsu's official fanclub but otaku Hijikata returns, converts all of Shinpachi's fanclub members to his side and plans to lead the official fanclub himself. There is currently a huge battle taking place between Toshi's team, Shinpachi's team and 998 other teams all trying to become Otsu's official fanclub. It's soooooooooo good! :D

[Axel]

Um, just more fighting really. What Bleach mainly is. But I thought the fight with Hisagi in it looked pretty sweet. Might be just me though.

Also, Ikkaku gets cained by one of the fraccion.

[PaulMacC]

This weeks Bleach was solid, cant wait for Soi Fong's fight next week, hopefully anyway.
I love the title cards also and Hitsugaya is the coolest character ever :8

[Niall!]

My god Paul shut up Hitsugaya is not the best character, quite the opposite.

Also in the Bleach manga, Soi Fon is about to release her Bankai.

[PaulMacC]

Hitsugaya is, I bet you think someone like Rukia is the best

[Southe,]

I like Renji the best >.> mind you i have only seen 1st 70 eps. Order Bleach 3.1 yesterday. Manga Ent. really do suck..

Bleach 2.2 had an unlisted ep on the dvd. but there listing it on the next dvd :S confused. anyway... DBZ Season 9, DBZ movies 12+13, FMA 1.2, Death Note 5, Bleach 3.1.

Lastest Naruto chapter was a bit =/ and the fillers might finally be over ^.^ up to episode 60 somthing with gintama now. crunchyroll was being a pain.. signed up for the free trial tho. watch them in HD.

And i think virgin have stopped being mean to me now so might download D.Gray Man

[Niall!]

Hitsugaya is, I bet you think someone like Rukia is the best

Captain Awesome is the best

[PaulMacC]

Kuchiki is not the best :/

[Axel]

Ye, Shunsui is.

[Niall!]

Kuchiki is not the best :/


The best character is by far Hollow Ichigo.

[PaulMacC]

Captain Mom is the best.
Anyone want a signature made, supply me with an image and a short video of a gif if you want in it, or even better a gif itself.
Give me dimensions or I'll make them etc, style, colours, etc blah!

[Niall!]

I want one of the Gintama 5th ending made, a gif is possible. Can it be a youtube link?

[PaulMacC]

The whole ending it will be like 5mb file.
Give me 5 seconds of it to repeat and it'll load good.
Also the song "Shura" by DOES is so epic, it's unbelievable how addicting that song is.

[Southe,]

RAGE :@


Funimation was about to start simucasting One Piece on its site. 1 hr after the JP release. But someone hacked Funi's site and got the new ep a day before it as even on jp tv.

"As anime fans know, FUNimation Entertainment planned under the authorization of Toei Animation, Fuji Television, Shueisha for the first ever online simulcast of the series ‘One Piece’ tonight at 9:00 pm CDT., just one hour after its premiere on Japan’s Fuji Television. Unfortunately, in the last 24 hours we have determined that the FUNimation servers were compromised, even though we employ strict security standards. An unknown individual accessed and posted episode 403 online and as a direct result of this illegal act, all U.S. and Canadian fans will be deprived of access to this great anime series for the immediate future. We will use the full extent of our efforts to locate and prosecute the perpetrators and will provide updates in this most serious matter."

Annoyed, lots of people on One Piece forums are raging lol. Hopefully gets sorted out soon. I think its mainley because it was leaked before it aired on jp tv. O well.

Havent watched DB Kai since ep 5. should go look at it

[PaulMacC]

Your from England though so you should be able to watch it?

[Niall!]

It's only One Piece after all.

On the other hand, I wonder how they're going to dub spice and wolf.

[Neversoft]

Hitsugaya is, I bet you think someone like Rukia is the best

Hitsugaya suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks!

[Nemo]

Taking the discussion away from bleach captain love..

i been watching Neon Genesis Evangelion recently and at first, i found it better than last time but then it began getting boring, but now im beginning to quite like it. Currently on episode 8 or something and asuka has just come in and....yeh its not bad.

[Neversoft]

I never once found Eva boring, but I did struggle to see how it was so popular at first. It seemed like a good but average series to me... but of course as it progressed average was the last word that came to mind. Now I own the super ultra awesome platinum edition boxset I can watch it all again but this time in director's cut. :D By the way, don't expect to understand the series first time watching it. Infact, don't even try to understand. I assume you'll need at least three full viewings before it all makes sense. I also suggest you watch End of Evangelion after episode 24 and then watch episode 25 and 26 after. End of Evangelion is an alternate ending which is one hundred times better than the original one.

Alsooooooo... recognise Gendo's voice? It's Hasegawa. :D Who also does the voice for Kenpachi.

[Neversoft]

Just watched new Eden. It was goooooooood but the episode ended just as things were getting started! It was a nice surprise to see Nobuyuki Hiyama voicing a character who actually looks like him in this episode. He voices Ikkaku in Bleach and Viral in Gurren Lagann. The guy with the amazing battle cry. He's awesome. :D Only three episodes left of Eden now. Well, that and a movie.

[PaulMacC]

There is going to be an Eden movie, hell yeah!
I have no idea what is going on now though but the art style is amazing and I have a slight idea. What is happened with the makers of Eden and Taki?

[Neversoft]

Man you must be duuuuuuuuumb! It isn't confusing. :P Also, the art style is great but it really isn't anything new. A lot of other anime have very similar styles, especially Production IG titles. What do you mean whats happened with the maker of Eden and Taki? Did you watch the latest episode? :S

[Southe,]

Your from England though so you should be able to watch it?

lol.. i take offence to that lol. I come from Scotland not England. And did some techy thingy with Firefox, So i can see American videos that were blocked.

Tho i dont see why OP gets blocked and not FMA.


It's only One Piece after all.

ONLY One Piece? Greatest series ever or if not in publication ( think thats the word ) out at the moment. One Piece is highly under rated over here and the US. It deserves more love

Then again we all have our series we like to fanboy over. One Piece is mine. Dont think theres a name for that like Narutard.

[Neversoft]

Also, if you get one of those capsule figures give it to me. :D I was hoping there would be some Gintama merchandise at the MCM Expo but to my disappointment there was none. :( Although they did have some plushies in Orbital Manga... WHY DIDN'T I BUY ANY!?!?!?! I NEED GINTAMA MERCHANDISE!!!!!

I'd just like to point out that I actually have a real core drill. It comes with the Gurren Lagann limited edition first volume DVD that isn't available to you simpletons until July! :8

One Piece will always be number 1 for me. Oda is a god and number 1 best selling manga proves it. As for the anime.. mayb gintama.. dont like how toei remove or change scenes. and hmm.. might buy the limited edition. i like being fancy xD got the limited edition FMA movie.

The fact that it's the number one best selling manga ever doesn't really prove anything. :P Look at how much Naruto has sold but there isn't a single person who frequents this forum that seems to like it. I definitely recommend the limited eiditon if you're a fan of the series. I thought it was worth it purely for the extras that came with it. :P The boxset itself also has magnets hidden in the case so when you close the lid it shuts nice and tight. Now thats high quality! Have you actually seen Gurren Lagann though? I don't remember you ever talking about it. :P

[PaulMacC]

I havent watched Naruto since Episode 99, the storyline is so boring now -.-''

It does prove something. its the best selling manga ever lol.. obviously thats prove for something. I know theres alot of people who like naruto. but One Piece stomps all over Naruto in the east lol.. and theres more and more people getting into it thanks to funimations dvds. i already have 12 volumes of naruto dont wanna go buy a set lol. and no i havent seen it but because i keep getting good comments iim going to buy it. and i like anythign Limited edition lol.

I may buy the naruto book. but im wanting to buy artbooks 1st since i like to look at all the artwork for jump covers etc. Also got few manga and FMA 1.2 and Death Note 5 today. so thats all DN on dvd now

And yes naruto has been very crap with the filler. should be finishing this week tho hopefully. read soem manga spoilers aswell. if ture thats just crap -.-

[PaulMacC]

I am starting to get more into Gintama, the action is sweet and it gave me goosebumps when Gin did that awesome midair dodge against Kyubei and then took a hit for Shinpachi, it was so much win. Also I found it hilarious with the whole gorilla marriage thing and when Kanda wiped his ass with sandpaper and then fainted from bleeding, lololol.
Also new Bleach ep is out.

I want to get the Evangelion Der Mond artbook and also both Vagabond artbooks (Sumi and Water) but I'm short on money at the moment. It didn't take me long to want something else even after going to the expo. :P

Well the manga is the same as the US. but they are releasing it slow. there going to releasing the latest chapters in shonen jump US. Naruto and Bleach got speedy releases because they were playing faves lol. And Manga Entertainment said they wanted to bring DDragonball and One Piece to the UK but Funi/Toei were asking for to much for them and didnt know if it would be worth it.

And ill wait for dvds lol. prefer them on tv. Death note dvd is annoying me. ever get that crackling sound. its funny the onyl dvds ive ever had problems with are naruto,bleach,death note =/

[PaulMacC]

Paul who the hell is Kanda?
Got him confused with Kanda from D.gray-man. I meant Kondo.

The first hard boiled episode was pretty bad, but I found the second one pretty funny. Especially the escalator scene. Also, if episode 81 is the one I'm thinking of then... JUST DO IT! Nike has nothing on Gintama.


Well the manga is the same as the US. but they are releasing it slow. there going to releasing the latest chapters in shonen jump US. Naruto and Bleach got speedy releases because they were playing faves lol. And Manga Entertainment said they wanted to bring DDragonball and One Piece to the UK but Funi/Toei were asking for to much for them and didnt know if it would be worth it.

And ill wait for dvds lol. prefer them on tv. Death note dvd is annoying me. ever get that crackling sound. its funny the onyl dvds ive ever had problems with are naruto,bleach,death note =/

Bleach got a speedy release? Really? :P I think Bleach is released well slow. If you perfer them on TV then just buy a new TV that has a usb port. Put the episodes on a memory stick, plug it into the TV and watch away! :8 Also, aren't all of those DVDs Manga Entertainment? I bought The End of Evangelion the other day, which is by them. Hopefully there is no problems with it. They no longer have the license though, I'm hoping ADV get it because I'd gladly buy it again if they released it.


I tried watching Gintama but I got bored... don't think it's my thing. Watching Cowboy Bebop instead.

I thought it was pretty boring at first as well, but I continued watching and I'm so glad I did. Best show ever. Period.

[PaulMacC]

Gintama was boring until around episode 30 for me, when you got to see some action it was pure awesome. It's so well animated.

[Neversoft]

I found the first couple of episodes a little boring, but then it started to get a lot better. Around episode 20 I decided it was awesome and I put it in my top five around episode 35. No one watches Gintama for the action though, what are you on about Paul? The action in Gintama (when there is some) is amazing but nearly every other aspect surpasses the unsurpassable. Gurren Lagann reference for the win! Action is the last thing I have on my mind while watching Gintama.

[Niall!]

I watch Gintama for the action, the comedy has it's moments but the action is worth waiting for. Yes, it's that type of action, something the other shounens will never hope to compete with.

[Nemo]

I hated the first episode, but after that i liked it and then loved it. It is good but i watch it for both action and comedy, but mainly comedy.

[PaulMacC]

Can anyone find me an anime site with Pokemon Diamond & Pearl series that updates weekly? I dont know if any subbing company even subs it. Yeah I'd like the subs also. I've watched the first 20 episodes and want to watch it for nostalgic stuff. So yeah I think it's on Episode 131 atm

One Piece is only at Volume 20, 21 out july ~ JP Dec 97 53 Volumes - Viz 03 20 voumes.

And dont get me started on Naruto. there almost caught up to the JP volume.

And yes there all by MANGA Ent. Thing about there dvds is. Textless OP-ED is standard for any anime dvd.. but they dont add them =/ after 3rd Naruto opening theys topped adding them/ Death note 2nd one was never added aswell. we just get crappy dub cast interviews >.>

Viz keep releasing like three or four volumes of Naruto at a time, so thats why Naruto is super fast but they haven't done that with Bleach for some reason. Bleach is still pretty average in the release department in my opinion. Claymore is only one single volume behind the Japanese releases, but thats because the manga seemed to be on hiatus for a year which allowed the English releases to catch up. :P Viz release Gintama every two months instead of three, and they are doing the same for 20th Century Boys so thats rather fast. Although they could do it much faster! 20th Century Boys is finished, why can't they just release all 24 volumes within a year.

Lmao, when I looked at the back of the cover for End of Evangelion yesterday to see what extras there were it said 'Audio Commentary by Amanda Winn Lee (English Language Director and Voice of Rei Ayanami)'. I instantly gave it a look of disgust and said to myself "So directors are also voice actors these days... shows how understaffed they are. No wonder they're always crap." What really pains me though is that companies like ADV who are always passionate about anime and try their best to release series with original Japanese extras are in serious money problems, but companies like Manga Entertainment who honestly don't really seem to care are doing alright for money. It doesn't add up. I talked to the ADV staff at the expo and they are such awesome guys. My friend asked how much the Utawarerumono Boxset was and one of the guys told him the price but then started talking about how amazing the series was in a really informative and friendly way. I've seen and love the series to death and I was just standing there nodding in agreement with him. :P Also, the boxset was only £25 - for 26 episodes, plus four booklets with interviews of the Japanese staff and a ton of extras. Now thats the kind of prices I like.

[Neversoft]

Oh my god episode 160 of Gintama was HILARIOUS! I haven't laughed that much in ages, I was on the verge of pissing myself. I really don't understand how you can prioritize action over comedy when it comes to Gintama. There was no action in episdoe 160, but in my opinion it is one of the best episodes in the series so far. :P

[Southe,]

well i know funimation everyone does something and they always turn out great/

Mike McFarland - ADR Director & ADR Script Writer For One Piece/FMA/Some in DB and Z And also Voices Buggy the clown/Jean Havoc,Envy's true form/Master Roshi, Yajirobe among others

Christopher Sabat - Line Producer~D.Gray Man and been ADR Director and Voice Direction for a few series. And he does lots of voices.

So it depends on the company i think. I also got DBZ movies 12-13 so i now own all the Z films ^^

Well then I have a question. Both Manga Entertainment and Funimation are working together to release Claymore. How will that turn out then? :P

I just checked out my Gurren Lagann DVD and the dub is so painful to listen to. They don't prenounce Simon how you think they would, they prenounce it see-moan and it just doesn't work well with all the other English dialogue. The dub for the Giga Drill Beaker was sounding really good until Kamina said Giga Drill Break... IT'S BREAKER FOR GOD SAKE NOT BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also Simons voice actor sounds way too mature. Doesn't sound like a kid at all. Yoko's voice is also terrible, but all female American anime voice actors sound the same so thats to be expected. Nia's voice isn't toooooo bad. They tried to get it close to her Japanese voice, but some of her lines just sound so dumb. But atleast they tried! Good effort, but a failure nevertheless.

The subtitles kind of annoy me as well. Even in the Japanese version the subtitles said 'Giga Drill Break' when it's clearly Giga Drill Breaker. Also, on my Disbuster DVD the subtitles said 'Buster Beam Slash' when the move is clearly Buster Beam Slice. :( Not impressed with Beez' subtitles. They translate the title as Gurren Lagann as well when the first bit of Japanese clearly says Tengen Toppa. Why did they leave out the Tengen Toppa part? That's what makes it epic! WHY!? Why are fansubs so superior to official DVDs? They're official dammit atleast do a good job! Beez is a subsidiary of Bandai as well, and they are a Japanese company. Whhhhhhhhhy!?

[Southe,]

Well Funimation have made the Dub and made the subs etc so it should be the exact same as the american dvd. All manga ent will be doing is distrubuting it. Like Revelations is doing with Full Metal Alchemist. And funny are good witht he subs.

They translate about 90% of it and then special words or move names are all kept intact. unless theres a good translation for it. Example would be

One Piece luffy says Gomu Gomu no ???? when he attacks. Now if you were to translate it, would be Rubber Rubber. which sounds a bit silly so Gum Gum sounds better. Robin attacks are all in french. so there kept in french.

HOPEFULLY im right in thinking MANGA are just selling it here.. dont want them fiddiling and changing stuff. But tbh when the claymore set appears in the US ill just buy it from there. Would rather suppourt Funi and not MANGA. Only buying Naruto and Bleach from them now. and im not planning on buying the filler. so its 1 more naruto dvd then it will just be bleach

[PaulMacC]

Episode 98 of Gintama was hilarious lol.
Bentendo Owee
Finally on to triple figures, Episode 100 completed!

[Neversoft]

Those episodes were great. I laughed so much when Hijikata died because his foot touched a sign on the edge of the street. He started with like 3HP didn't he? Hilarious. :P

And ihate crunchy roll, gotta wait 5 days to watch ep 160 of gintama, and you say its great chris :<

[PaulMacC]

Doesnt HorribleSubs leak the eps?

Im not sure, but if they do, is it good quality?

[Axel]

On episode 8 of Cowboy Bebop now, 'tis a good series. :D

[Neversoft]

Doesnt HorribleSubs leak the eps?

They do and the quality is pretty much the same as on the website, which is good. You gotta download the HorribleSubs ripped episodes if you wanna watch them though, which Niahmahmh seems to hate.

By the way, read my comment on MAL. You won't be able to find episode 114 to 128 subbed online.

ive been using CR to watch gintama it was good until the site started having problems. anyway i tried the 2 week free trial. anyway im sure it worked out £3 a month to sign up :S thats not so bad.. tho i only watch gintama on it

[Nemo]

i downloaded it surprisingly quickly (like 3 minutes or something), now im just finding a way to watch .mkv

[Nemo]

Holy crap that was one funny episode, the final bit was awesome. And the bit wiv hijikata and the slide made me lol so much

watched the whole arc ofc, im up-to-date. and agreed.

[Neversoft]

I hope Taka-tin remains a main supporting character after this arc is over because he is seriously awesome. Also... "Hey! Taka-tin! Hey!" Gintoki's Engrish is hilarious. :P

I was thinking the same thing, I love his engrish accent.

[PaulMacC]

The Shinigami Betrayal Arc is so kickass.

This isn't Bleach, it's Shinsengumi!

How could you!? :'(

[PaulMacC]

Damn how did I mess that one up
The action when Gin stabbed the guy through the helicopter was awesome.

[Neversoft]

Finally got around to watching the newest episode of Eden of the East and wooooow it was goooood! Many a great scene with Pantsu. Some things cleared up and hidden characters revealed, but now there is new mystery added to the story. Only two episodes and a movie left, I hope the conclusion doesn't feel rushed. Although since Eden is directed by the same guy who directed the slow paced epic Seirei no Moribito I doubt it will. Can't wait for whats to come!

[LoveToStack]

I tried watching Gintama but I got bored... don't think it's my thing. Watching Cowboy Bebop instead.

Same. I watched up to 38 I think it was then stopped cause I was just forcing myself to watch it, hoping it would go somewhere. I'm sure it does get better and I might marathon it in the summer if I have some free time.
Btw I've stopped watching Texhnolyze because the process of watching Texhnolyze is quite truly self harm. I get angry just thinking about it seriously. Watch it if you want but you'd better be appreciative of the animation style otherwise you'll put a fist through the monitor.

[Neversoft]

You expected an episodic anime to go somewhere?

[Southe,]

They have no taste D: lol I was hooked mayb after episode 10. And i had been using Gin toki alot in jump superstars alot.

Anyway. watched the ep with jackie chan lol. i might download gintama since there seems to be alot of jokes that need to ebe xplain and CR dont do it alot.. where as i seen a fan sub ep and they had a grey box explaining.

Anyway i should be getting the holy book this week. lol. NHK v1 will finally be mine >.>

[Neversoft]

Crunchyroll have started adding a lot of translationg notes in recent episodes. I guess they kept getting a lot of complaints. The Jackie Chan episode had a ton of references to his movie Project A, including his famous clock tower drop which was parodied perfectly. :D

[Nemo]

On ep 21 of NGE, i do like it, and i can kind of see where its going, but im wondering what the ending is! Shall finish it this week

[PaulMacC]

Ep109 of Gintama.
Someone find me a download link of the song "Your father is a X X" from Gintama pls :D

[Neversoft]

On ep 21 of NGE, i do like it, and i can kind of see where its going, but im wondering what the ending is! Shall finish it this week

The ending is lame when viewed by itself, but when viewed along with The End of Evangelion they both go together to make one damn spectacular conclusion. The End of Evangelion also has one of the best and most memorable fight scenes ever in my opinion. Which I also consider to be one of the most violent. I'm going to watch Evangelion again once I've finished college later this month and I actually can't wait. :P Heres (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iH32Chen5Vo) the fight scene for anyone who wants to see it, but can't be bothered to watch the entire series.

Also, you might want to check out Rebuild of Evangelion. So far only the first of four movies are out, but it's a recreation of the series in movie format. Bigger budget, alternate scenes and up-to-date real nice looking animation. They didn't do a Dragon Ball Kai and attempt to improve the look of the series, they actually made it all again from scratch. Evangelion looks sooooo good with todays animation.

[Neversoft]

Before I would have said watch The End of Evangelion before episode 25 and 26 (the series ending), but now I'd say watch the entire series first and then after that watch The End of Evangelion. It's best to watch things how they were intended to be watched and also that way you can end on a good note, because there isn't really anything good about the series ending.

k lol, and that link u gave me has ep 21, 22 and 23 as the director's cut, so anything different there or should i be looking elsewhere oh mr.anime guru.

[Neversoft]

Well obviously things will be different since it's a different cut from the original, but director's cut is usually the best anyway. I think the ones I watched on YouTube were probably the original episodes. My DVD has both the original episodes and directors cut but I haven't watched it yet so I can't say for sure which is best, but they can't be much different anyway. Just stick with the directors cut, no point looking elsewhere.

[PaulMacC]

Chris, see in Eden, who wrote that on the wall about Taki?
I dont really understand it now but why did the selecao kill the computer nerd and why is Taki being targeted. Also what was he doing with the PC transfering data?

[Jord]

My god Paul shut up Hitsugaya is not the best character, quite the opposite.

Also in the Bleach manga, Soi Fon is about to release her Bankai.


I agree


ikkaku is better

I dont really understand it now but why did the selecao kill the computer nerd and why is Taki being targeted. Also what was he doing with the PC transfering data?

I assume one of the NEETs that Akira gathered there wrote it. The Selecao killed Pantsu because one; he had found out classified information about the Selecao, two; he had one of their phones, and three; he found out some information of vital importance to Akira. Akira isn't being target persay, but I guess other Selecao are taking interest in him because hes going against the system, and he seemed to be quite a renowned Selecao before he wiped his memory. Pantsu was deciphering the information on the Selecao phone Akira gave him, and he seemed to find out something pretty dangerous on it.

[PaulMacC]

He was uploading it to Eden Of The East though, right?

[Neversoft]

He wasn't uploading anything? He was downloading the data from the phone.

Im into samurai anime now

Ive been watching samurai 7 And I love it, Its based on a moved based in 1965 called "seven samurai" And I love it :D


Im into episode 17 out of 26 And Then I will watch "Samurai champloo"

I youtubed it and an AWM Looks amazing

I am still determinted to find those episodes of Gintama Chris. Im on episode 114 now, AniLinkz has the raw but I cant understand it

Samurai Champloo is one of the best series ever made. Peace Maker Kurogane is another good samurai anime. Also, if you haven't seen Sword of the Stranger then you haven't lived.


I am still determinted to find those episodes of Gintama Chris. Im on episode 114 now, AniLinkz has the raw but I cant understand it

You won't find them anywhere since all of the streaming websites were linking to the episodes on crunchyroll. Now cr have removed the episodes theres nothing to link to. Unless some people ripped them you're out of luck.

[PaulMacC]

I am going to keep searching, even if I need to torrent them. I love the bit in the 5th opening with the Joui war with Sakamoto, Gin, Katsura and Takasugi. The GIF in my sig basically, Im so addicted to it ^_^
Also I've seen a trailer for Ep130 about the Old Yorozuya lolwut, whats that about

[Neversoft]

Just watch from episode 129. It doesn't matter because Gintama is episodic, you can pick it up from any episode. Yes, I think you've told everyone hundreds of times. Theres no point explaining, watch it yourself and see. :P

[Nemo]

Samurai Champloo is one of the best series ever made. This is true. I loved samurai champloo, mixing the awesome fighting with some pretty damn funny stuff

[PaulMacC]

Give me a shout when they eventually do get subbed Chris.

[Neversoft]

This is true. I loved samurai champloo, mixing the awesome fighting with some pretty damn funny stuff

Not to mention it also has the best climax EVER. I can't really think of any other anime that comes close to being on par with Champloo's last few episodes. It's also one of very few animes where I actually stayed up all night watching it simply because every episode left you wanting more.


Give me a shout when they eventually do get subbed Chris.

Sure. Rumbel are pretty slow but recently they've been releasing episodes at a decent pace.

http://www.rumbel-subs.com/

I hope they get to episode 122 soon because I really want to watch the Screwdriver arc again. It's a masterpiece! I really wish I had ripped the episodes now. :P I ripped episode 113 but Rumbel subbed that the other day so its useless now. :eusa_wall

Cowboy Bebop is awesome... anyone else watched it?

[PaulMacC]

Yeah I did, got pissed off at the ending and decided to watch Trigun after that because I always thought of Trigun & Bebop similar.

I love samurai 7 Its awesome and sad at the same time :l People die just as you got to like them :(

Wow samurai champloo is amazing,

Perfect amount of blood, swearing and fighting!

What!? Bebop's ending was fantastic, and one of the most memorable to date.

I also found Trigun a little similar to Bebop. I like Trigun a lot more though. By the way... Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo are made by the same people. If you haven't seen either then what the hell have you been doing!?


Wow samurai champloo is amazing,

If you think it's amazing now just wait 'til later. I assume the dub is terrible though. There are a lot of references to Japanese history and people that have probably been Americanized! Whhhyyy!?!?!?

Oh. My. God. The baseball episode was SO DAMN FUNNY! I nearly pissed myself laughing when that guy was using hand signals to say to the other guy "Wrong! Do you understand!? I said BUNT! BUNT! BUNT!" The guy then nods to say he understands him but the next pitch is a strike and the guy singals again to say "You ******* ass hole! I ******* said BUNT! BUNT! I'm gonna kill you!" So damn funny. :P Why isn't Champloo in my top ten!? I must watch it again!

Gintama airs every thursday. Episode 161 was great, but Taka-tin only had a few lines. Although one of them was "Oh ****! It's my bread!" in English so that was instantly awesome. It was also a little slow paced, and nothing compared to last weeks episode, but still good! :P The Gintaman theme was also in this weeks episode. :D

Aye, they can do awesome episodes, but not mega-awesome like 160 was.

A lot of people like to think that the events that happen in the movie are what is happening in the real world, while the events at the end of the series are obviously happening in Shinji's mind. Thats why I said the two work well together, but alone the series ending is lame.

Also... HOOOOOLY ****! The new trailer for the third 20th Century Boys movie is AWESOME! Damn, I'm so hyped but I haven't even seen the second movie yet. I thought the first was good, but the third looks fantastic! I need it now!

View the trailer here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ap9QslYqjA0) if you don't care about major spoilers. :D

Peace. Maker. Kurogane.

Im addicted to the Gintama Opening 6, the Gintama openings are all very well done, the sync in them is unbelievable and they all have a very catchy tone.

[Niall!]

I quite like the 7th opening, it's very catchy. All the gintama openings are good, apart from the second one.

You're joking i hope.

[Niall!]

You're joking i hope.

What, you liked the second one?

[Nemo]

Are you mad, it's great.

Niall, Chris said there is a 50% chance of their being a Joui War flashback arc. He also said you do not even read the manga.

[Nemo]

Im like running out of anime watch, i just have no idea what to watch next, im even considering naruto or one piece D: (GO AWAY RYU!)

[Niall!]

I don't read the manga :S

Also, why would there be a flashback arc, Gintoki wants to forget about the Joui war, I don't see why he'd revisit it in his mind.

Eden Of The East :eusa_danc

[Nemo]

Eden Of The East :eusa_danc
how many eps that got? im thinkin welcome to the NHK

[PaulMacC]

Eden of The East has 11 episodes and currently 10 have aired. The final episode will air Thursday and be subbed for Friday ;)
or you could watch Naruto, which is an awesome series minus the fillers. It has 220 episodes in Naruto but I watched to 120 because 120-220 are ALL fillers. And then after naruto there is shippuden which has 110 episodes or so at the moment and is still airing.

[Southe,]

Actually the fillers didnt start until 130 something.. sure the big fight before the fillers was 133 or something. fillers basically started when naruto was in hospital. And NHK had like 24 eps i think.

Um.. This weeks One Piece was so awesome :P

My dbz season 9 got caught by customs £12 extra if i want it. >.>

Got my Display case in my room now. Looks good.

Up to ep 27 on FMA amazon say the next 2 dvds come out next month so should finish it then.

Someone suggest me a series to watch D: short one would be good.

[Niall!]

Ryuzaki.. why the **** are you buying all this ****? Are you like super rich with money to burn or something?

[Vause]

I only really watched Strawberry Panic, it was goooood but everyone raved about it, dunno why.

It was an ending, just an anti-climatic one.


Niall, Chris said there is a 50% chance of their being a Joui War flashback arc. He also said you do not even read the manga.

There is no definite answer. There might be one, there might not... Tons of fans want it so I don't understand why there would never be one.


I don't read the manga :S

Also, why would there be a flashback arc, Gintoki wants to forget about the Joui war, I don't see why he'd revisit it in his mind.

Who says that he has to revisit it in his mind? It doesn't have to be a flashback of Gintoki's past. It could even be an arc set during the Joui war, no one has to revisit it.

Eden has 11 episodes and a movie although it hasn't finished airing yet. Welcome to the NHK is a good choice, I also think it's better than Eden. Judging from what you've seen and like you probably wouldn't like Eden anyway. If I had to recommend something though, I'd say Baccano. Why the hell is no one on this forum giving it a chance!? It's seriously one of the best series ever made. It has 13 episodes and an OVA which is 3 episodes long. The story is amazing, the characters are some of the best I've come across... I just can't give it enough praise. Someone watch it!
