how I kno you have the first dvd being Elfen Lied!? lol... Did you like Gantz? I couldn't get into it after the first dvd version.. so epi 4 i believe..

Yeah, I liked Gantz. Ending is a little meh, but great action and tragedy throughout the anime. You should probably watch a few more eps before you give up on it completely.

Yeah, I'll give it some more episodes. I need to really rewatch that and Gilgamesh. I did like how it opened for Gilgamesh, but it was one, and I believe Gantz was the same, that just got thrown to the side... lol

Anyone here watched Darker Than Black ? I got it off a friend yesterday, but I don't know if it is any good. Considering I got the first season of Dollhouse and the second season of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (Burn in hell Fox execs, burn in HELL for not giving me a third season ! The first episode of the second season is the best thing I've ever seen on TV, damnit...) on my current watch-list (yes, yes, shame on me, my current watch list has no anime on it :shadedshu), I wanted to know if it is any good...

This looks interesting... too bad I've no way to try it out.

gantz stopped before the manga did - anyone who loved gantz, get the manga.

Cold Storm · Jul 26, 2009

I hate when Anime does that... I don't mind the fact that they change the differences between them but in ways have the same story at the start and end.. but when a Anime just stops before the manga, or like Samurai Deeper Kyo... The Manga just came out, and it's no where near what the anime was...

Mussels · Jul 26, 2009

what tends to happen is they're made at the same time, while the manga is still in production. When they catch up, they either go to filler (naruto/bleach, long shows) or they make up a storyline (FMA) and end it.

Right. I guess the only thing I can be upset about is if the Manga goes one way, while the anime goes the other.. Not saying that if their both in production.. But, how Samurai Deeper Kyo was... Those I think is what ticks me off at the community of it all..

Yes, people have their own way at looking at how the "Thing" was suppose to be... I just wish both ways could be together on it... but then again.... Look at American Comics... You got 30 different ways of how Batman/Superman/Spider-man/Iron Man was told... It's just crazy...

Mussels · Jul 26, 2009

i hate them changing the ending too. Many good anime have been nerfed because of it - sure it may help the manga sales in japane, but 99% of people who watch the anime will never know its not the 'real' story/ending, let alone buy the manga.

True. If the Story lines on both Anime and Manga was somewhat straight together, then we would be able to see sales of it all across the board... but when you see that the "manga" was better at telling the story, then the "anime", it just makes others not want to Watch/read anything because of that..

I've watched it and I've really liked it.

Mussels · Jul 26, 2009

darker than black is great, i heard a sequel is due soon.

crazy pyro · Jul 27, 2009

Just watched the first episode of Seirei No Moribito, seems good so far. I'll probably be about halfway through it before I have to retreat from the internet for two weeks (yes, I will definitely get XKCD withdrawal symptoms!)

Cold Storm · Jul 27, 2009

All right guys.. W1zz added something we can use. Should help out on us alot as well as anything gaming wise.

test

crazy pyro · Jul 27, 2009

Looks good, how are you meant to use it though?

Cold Storm · Jul 27, 2009

use it when your going to say something, like anime, that you may know that no one wants to know about. Like how a anime is going to end.. or what's going on in a anime.. many may not have seen it yet..

Or in games... endings to games.. or how to beat something..

MKmods · Jul 27, 2009

excellent idea, thx CS

By the way I just started watching Saiyuki, I have so much catching up to you guys to do

Rurouni Kenshin will be next...Dam I wish Netflix would let me have more than 3 DVDs at a time....

Cold Storm · Jul 27, 2009

They should let you... I have 5 at a time..

MKmods · Jul 27, 2009

LOL, I just clicked the thing and they will allow up to 8 DVDs...(thx CS)

lol.. I was just watching the intro to Seirei N Moribito.. I knew it sounded like I've seen it before... I got it as Moribito.. Japanese but it was the same dang thing! lol..

Yeah, It's a good anime. I need to remember where I lost track.. I think it was episode 9 or 10.. right after

Just wanted to try it out! lol

crazy pyro · Jul 28, 2009

I've used it many a time before, and I've never had a problem. Could be driver-related.
