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

One Piece is now the best selling manga to date. 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.

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?

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

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

[PaulMacC]

Sorry Eden 6.

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

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.

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.

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.

Rofl, good one.

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.
