Shorty Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 Ok can someone give me the long explanation they gave.... I ermm want to watch Genshiken and the website is down..... This is pissing me off. ; ; DB say they're annoyed because people keep putting their stuff on youtube/veoh which could lead to them getting caught. It could just be another troll to explain some downtime they had coming up, or to trick people during the gap in Bleach or Naruto. That said it was a really long, detailed and sensible newspost with none of their usual tongue in cheek jokes, like "DB HQ, New York" or "Seven of our members have already been arrested and/or killed", which is something they'd usually include if it was a troll. Remains to be seen Isn't anyone else subbing Genshiken?

Remains to be seen Isn't anyone else subbing Genshiken? No one else has subbed the final episode at the very least. The message they left says they will be down forever or for a while? I really hope they haven't decided to call it quits. o.o;; They are one of the only groups that are actually reliable with releases. lol Right now I'm hoping for it to be some christmas break thing. Hmmm.
ShadowV7 Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 It's not forever, just for the meantime. Good thing i've stopped watching Bleach and Naruto The latest chapter of Naruto was a pure fight so it will last 5 minutes, no joke... Anyone think that it really was that easy regarding the new chapter? I still think there's more. No way can something buiilt up like that be done so quickly.

Mokong Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 Just watching some late night Bleech on Anime Central cuz i can't sleep, and seen an advert for Gundam Seed, it's starting on Jan 5th, i hope they show Destiny straight after it as I still haven't got round to watching that...and gives a good excuse to re-watch Seed
ShadowV7 Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 Watched half off School days early this morning before I went to sleep. I really like it, but i'm sure I won't like the ending. I found out i'm a bit off a sucker for Romance anime now Anyway I accidently seen a bit of the last episode. Media player was on random and was doing my teeth and came back and seen a bit. Sekai backs away with blood over her. I really don't want a sad ending now cause it even disturbed me when I was trying to sleep. I kept seeing some characters in my head then woke up all the time and couldn't get comfortable. Gonna watch the last 6 now. I'm dreading it...
chrizkerr2 Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 Princess Mononoke on at 1:35pm on Channel 4+1!
Coolness Bears Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 I started Code Geass yesterday! Has anyone else watched this series? Is it any good?

I kept seeing some characters in my head then woke up all the time and couldn't get comfortable. If that's the case, maybe you should consider to stop watching anime for a while.
ShadowV7 Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 I think I might actually. Ever since I finished watching it i've been really distracted thinking about it Talk about the ending being extreme. I mean I know I didn't like some characters or anything cause they annoyed me at times but really was there really any need to do what they did. I can't help but feel bad about those 2. I mean she didn't have to kill Makoto and she didn't have to chop if his head and hug it and kill Saiko and see if she was really pregnant. But some girls were real bitches though. I seriously can't help but feel bad for Kotonoha and even him...It's such a shame it happened. I mean they didn't have to kill people, even the endings from the game wasn't that bad they could of just used one of those instead, but no they had to have people go on killing sprees.

Man, that was so fucked up. And it's not Saiko it's Sekai :P

I mean they didn't have to kill people, even the endings from the game wasn't that bad they could of just used one of those instead, but no they had to have people go on killing sprees. Er... that ending was fairly standard, lots of them are like that. Taken from Wikipedia: "Eternally" (「永遠に」, Eien ni?)[1] Sekai and Makoto are in love and decide to tell Kotonoha about it. Kotonoha handles it very badly, even begging Makoto to date her again in Makoto's apartment. He apologizes to her and declines. Afterwards, Kotonoha quietly tells them that they will never be happy together. As Sekai and Makoto leave the apartment, Kotonoha's phone falls and shatters on the floor. They then witness how Kotonoha throws herself off the ledge of the apartment, landing head first on the pavement and dying. Just before she hits the ground, Sekai and Makoto see briefly how her eyes are completely lifeless. The epilogue shows Makoto in front of Kotonoha's grave. It is revealed that he broke up with Sekai, finished high school, is now working with his mom and has never had a girlfriend since. "To My Children" (「我が子へ」, Wagako e?) One day while Kotonoha and Makoto are having sex, Makoto tries to comfort Kotonoha and tells her that she is the only one for him, and that Sekai is good for nothing. Sekai overhears this and becomes enraged. Six months later, Makoto and Kotonoha are on a walk outside, with her talking about having a baby. When they part, Sekai, now pregnant, appears and stabs Makoto in the gut with a butcher knife. After a few words from Makoto, Sekai becomes terrified at what she has just done and runs off. Makoto slowly walks from the beach, leaving a trail of blood behind him, and he eventually dies. "The Bloody Conclusion" (「鮮血の結末」, Senketsu no Ketsumatsu?) Sekai and Makoto are in love. One day, Kotonoha overhears Makoto and Sekai loudly making love to each other, which in turn emotionally destroys her. She spends several hours on her own, emotionally dead, until she suddenly snaps in the snow and laughs maniacally. The next day as they leave the train station where the three always commute, they meet Kotonoha on an overpass beside the station. There is an awkward moment as Sekai lets go of Makoto's arm, greeting her. Kotonoha says a few words, before revealing a saw hidden behind her school bag and swipes it beside Sekai's neck. After a few seconds of realizing what had just happened, Sekai suddenly bleeds violently and collapses in a pool of blood in front of Kotonoha and Makoto. Kotonoha starts laughing hysterically again, her lifeless eyes revealing that she has completely broken down. There are plenty of less extreme endings though.
ShadowV7 Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Yea there's quite a few bad endings but not as extreme as the anime. Which was 'Woah'. I would of liked it if it was similiar to one of the better endings to the game and he stayed with Kotonoha. Sekai just went about everything the wrong way. It's a shame for Kotonaha though, she got played alone for ages, got raped and broke down, then finally when she became more normal, her boyfriend goes and get's murdered. Was quite dramatic and good how the deaths got done with the eyes,camera andthe music starting when the killing began. Do you think the last words 'Thank Goodness' meant he was happy she kept the baby or got rid of it? She stopped immediatly afterwards and was clinging on to where the baby would be. Even though he wanted her to get an abortion part of me thought he was glad she was pregnant.

Frankly, by the time I got to the end of the show, I hated all the characters so much that I wasn't too bothered by their fates.
Hellfire Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 I didn't hate Sekai, she didn't do the right things, but it was normal confusion. The others though... IS it possible to get the game in english?
ShadowV7 Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 I didn't hate Sekai, she didn't do the right things, but it was normal confusion. The others though...IS it possible to get the game in english? At the end I still liked her, she just made some bad choices but she didn't deserve what happened to her at the end of the series. Does anyone know what the OVA is about apart from the title which says it's about Kokoro. I'm downloading the game just now to see if there is any English subs but because of the size it will be done in a couple of days (7.9GB)
Supergrunch Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 As far as I know, there's no english translation, but you can watch some of the endings on youtube and it's pretty obvious what's going on. Anyway, are you aware it's a porn game? That kind of puts me off getting it, porn in visual novels always seems so pointless.
ShadowV7 Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Ah, that I didn't know. I thought it was just like the anime but you make choices to get a different ending... I'll see what it's like and if I can barely understand then i'll leave it or see if my little Japanese knowledge will help me.
chrizkerr2 Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Man, watched 8 episodes of Death Note in a row, up to episode 19 now and loving it! Didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I have done, will have to pace myself with watching it, as only 18 episodes left! Anyone know when the DVD's will be released in the UK?

I can understand it not being to your taste, but surely you can find the logic considering the typical fanbase
Coolness Bears Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 started D gray man today! I'm only on Episode 5 so far but it has entertained and excited me already
Hellfire Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Anyway, are you aware it's a porn game? That kind of puts me off getting it, porn in visual novels always seems so pointless. That's why I want it! :P
ShadowV7 Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Dmn read a review of the game and there's no translations for it I think since the choices you have to make appear where the subs should be. I watched the 3 'bad' endings and picked up some it but would be so much easier if I could understand it all.
Supergrunch Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Really? It seems pointless? I can understand it not being to your taste, but surely you can find the logic considering the typical fanbase Well yeah, but in the vast majority of cases, it adds nothing to the story. Take something like Tsukihime - "Now we must save the world, but first must come the obligatory sex scene to satisfy the otaku!" But yeah, I'd rather not have it even if it was a valid part of the story. (as in School Days)
