Supergrunch you just lost me there....... Could you explain that little thing in more detail? lol I'm confuddled. =P

 

Basically, Rika experiences every arc. Each time she dies (which, if you noticed, she does every arc) she gets reincarnated in a new arc. So when she was in Meakashi-hen, she had already experienced Watanagashi-hen. Now, in the game, Rika was tortured to death by Shion in Watanagashi-hen. However, in Meakashi-hen, Rika, remembering Watanagashi-hen, realised the same was going to happen, so killed herself instead.

 

Another interesting fact is that the Hinamizawa gas disaster doesn't happen in Watanagashi and Meakashi-hen (it does in all the other chapters). This is because Rika was killed by Shion (or commited suicide) in those chapters, rather than whatever killed her in the other chapters. In other words, Rika being killed in a different way prevented the gas disaster. (god knows why)

 

In case you were wondering, everyone dies in every arc apart from Meakashi-hen and Watanagashi-hen, due to the gas disaster. This includes Onikakushi-hen and Tsumihoroboshi-hen... Rika was found killed in both these chapters prior to the disaster. So Tsumihoroboshi-hen didn't have such a happy ending after all...

 

And yes, all this and more is revealed in the prologue of Minagoroshi-hen.

I doubt they would be teaching them how to swear in english.

You mean the first thing you learnt in Japanese wasn't kusokurae? :heh:

 

Yes, I'm aware you may not have learnt Japanese...

Posted

I was joking when I said that :p But now that you've asked...

 

Manga:

 

Hmm, I haven't read much manga but I would go with Berserk, a dark and tragic story of a man that just won't die.

 

Anime:

 

Anime is a tougher choice, but Naruto left the deepest scar. I don't care if it's mainstream or too comercial, it wasn't when I started watching.

 

Runner-ups are:

 

  • Neon Genesis Evangelion
  • Dragon Ball
  • Golden Boy
  • GTO
  • Trigun
  • Rurouni Kenshin

 

Now it's your turn Dante (and anyone that feels like it).

The best manga I have read is Love Hina. Wonderful art with characters you can really enjoy reading about. It's not the most complex story, but what Ken Akamatsu does have present is both lengthy and involving.

 

There are other good mangas, but I'm more an anime fan than manga.

 

Anime I have enjoyed and would recommend to others:

 

Neon Genesis Evangelion

Trigun

DragonBall/Z/GT

RahXephon

Tenchi Ryo-Oki/GXP/TV1/TV2

El-Hazard OVA

Chobits

Gundam Wing

Ah! My Goddess (boring, but heartwarming)

 

 

There are more, but these ones call out to me. I don't really watch as much anime as some might think.

Posted

Hmmm... I haven't read any manga past Initial D and i really enjoyed that so, yeah Initial D! :p.

 

As for anime?

I have way too many favourites, but heres the list ones i really enjoyed:

 

Chobits

Cowboy Bebop

DN Angel

Elfen Lied

Full Metal Panic/Fumoffu!/The Second Raid

Initial D First Stage/Second Stage/Fourth Stage Project D

Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien (this actually made me cry >_>)

Mai HiME

Mai Otome

NGE

Haruhi Suzumiya
