I'll be going in a morphsuit hopefully.



Although I would love to cosplay as Friend from 20th Century Boys.

I highly doubt he does more planning than Naoki Urasawa. The first few pages of 20th Century Boys are actually the start of the climax some 200 or so chapters later and 20th Century Boys is the most complex, plot twisting, involved manga I have ever read.



So much for 'would rather stay at home and save money'.

yeah but if i was going with friends i actually would pay as long as it wasnt a stupidly obscene amount

im not going all the way to london to drink in a PARK
am gonna have to like not go out ever. i have to save up money for a spa week, professional pictures & birthdays all around that time. i need a jobbbb. + i still need to persuade my mum omg
i hope u are dressing up chris

i have fake id by then i promise


I could do with a job aswell, what with EMA going next year

He might have done it all of the top of his head which would make it even more awesome. But yes apart from him then oda. Speaking of which ive decided to pick up more Monster manga.

Haha so good to be able to just use a legal ID. ;D

Fitting music for the spoiler from 1:00 onwards not a spoiler tho.

And even more amazin i put money on the Scotland game and ive won £70+ so be buying myself said record breaking volume and possibly some other manga i want.


Was a tv documentary thing on in japan about one piece sucess etc see oda's office, people in japan buying volume 61, some random stuff and an interview with someone.

i like at 12:30 when they talk about samurai and one piece. and the song plays with the bit from Enies lobby. that would have been a nice song at the part in the anime D:

Now, now... there are a lot of other hard working mangaka out there other than Urasawa and Oda who all put a lot of effort into planning.

Speaking of Monster... I should really pick up the anime again. Stalled at episode 17 like a year or two ago and just left it. Might buy the manga instead since all of the volumes have been published.

Also, just watched Memories. The 'Magnetic Rose' segment was a frickin' masterpiece. That pretty much confirms it... everything Satoshi Kon was involved in is brilliant. Really reminded me of Cowboy Bebop as well. Wouldn't be surprised if it was Watanabe's inspiration.

Should really watch the anime of Monster. The music fits amazingly with the mood and honestly dont think itd be as good in the manga. Obviously i havent read it, but the music and such really made it for me.

[Neversoft]

I swear when you finished Monster you said it was alright but nothing special. Knowing me I would probably enjoy the manga more seeing as how it was done by Naoki Urasawa a.k.a. the God of manga for the new generation. From what I did watch the anime was really good though, the music was very fitting and atmospheric. Gotta love Doctor Tenma as well. I wonder what happened to those rumours of a live action Monster movie...

I did, but after a while i realised what a fool i was and changed my mind. Its brilliant.

Nice to see you've matured. Apparently it's Madhouse's best show behind Hajime no Ippo and Death Note. Speaking of Madhouse... anyone seen Beck?

Angry how Viz stopped the dvd released after one boxset. youd think they would do a whole season boxset to try recop there loss but nooooo. and MANGA suck aswell for not picking it up. Probs going to buy a bootleg boxset of ebay.

[Neversoft]

Manga are hardly going to license it if it failed in America. Your bias towards everyone but Manga is really a cause for concern!

Speaking of Manga...

"Manga Entertainment's British arm revealed on its Twitter account on Wednesday that the Los Angeles-based Weinstein Company has acquired a 25% minority stake in Starz Media, the parent company of Manga Entertainment and Anchor Bay. According to the Los Angeles Times newspaper, the deal also includes a five-year distribution deal under which Starz Media will handle DVD and digital distribution for the film company."

Wonder how distribution is going to be affected over here...
