Well I usually just said hey you should check this out or recommended you something if you asked for it, but those were mostly series, these are movies that won't take up much of your time. Plus theres no telling how long it will be before you catch up with One Piece.

Current OP is awesome.. Anime is just about to get into it. New opening in 3 weeks ^^

Movie 6


But everyone knows its all about Strong World atm

Ryuzaki, I seem to have the curse again. This time not with Welcome to the NHK, but with Evangelion. I can only find volume 3, 5, 6 and 11 for sale online. The rest have disappeared off the face of the earth. I bought the first two volumes last year and the rest weren't hard to find at all, but now... what gives!? Why does this always happen with manga I want to buy!

Also... I just saw something terrifying on ebay. The NHK novel is going for £40 and the auction still has over a day left! What has become of the world. I think its safe to say the novel is most definitely out of print now and is never coming back. Such a shame... I want to read it sooooooooooo much! Back in the day when I was trying to find the first volume of manga all I came across was the novel and now it is the other way around. I should have bought the novel back then!

sucks and i was talking about if i opened a manga shop lol best job ever. just sit and read all day. have to compete with amazon tho D:

I don't think there exists a shop that sells just manga (other than in Japan and Korea). All of the manga shops I have been to in London sell comics and graphic novels as well as manga and of course Forbidden Planet sell a lot of other things too. Their manga is extremely overpriced, but they do have an impressive collection.

Anyway, I found a download link for the NHK novel. I may just print off all the pages and create my own cheap bootleg version as I would much rather read a novel in book form than on a computer screen.

[Southe,]

yea i know would probably sell anime among other things but would be mostly manga shop.. would be fun.

and also bootleg eh...

The novel was published by Tokyopop not even three years ago. They give up way too easy. The sales couldn't have been that bad - I swear NHK is one of their best selling series.

chris i tried to watch mind games, i really did. But i just cant get past the animation. It's absolutely horrible, worse than claymore. I tried to wait it out and just see if i could survive a few more minutes, but i couldnt. Especially after watching something as beautiful as TTGL

If you think the animation is bad then I am sorry but you have no idea what good animation is. Mind Game has some of the most fluently wonderful animation ever seen in an anime and it is also one of Studio 4℃'s most expensive productions. Animation and design are not the same thing. In Claymore you don't like the medieval look and character designs, in Mind Game I am pretty sure it is the same thing. What you don't like is not the animation, it is the design. Neverthless, you are rather narrow minded to accept nothing but the norm. If you don't like it then fair enough, we are all entitled to our opinions, but to say the animation is bad is utter bull.

Also, Mind Game's final sequence is the most epic piece of imagery ever conceived by man. Your loss.

I also wouldn't call Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann beautiful, its just colourful is all. Only things like 5 Centimeters Per Second and Pale Cocoon are truly beautiful.

Sorry, i meant design. But yeh, i really just dont like it, but i won't watch that final part since i probably will end up watching it in the end, much like i did claymore, just....at the right time.
