dabookerman Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 List of Winter 2007 animes. You may remember me talking about it earlier this month and the Kannazuki no Miko connections that it has. OH YES!!!!!!! That alone is enough to get me to watch it, but Megami magazine spreads like this or this don’t hurt either. The story is about a girl named Shiratori Ku who has a dream about a prince and then actually meets that prince in real life. Somewhere along the line they’ll likely work in plenty of fanservice/semi-yuri and mecha action. OH YESSSSS!!!!!! I’m honestly trying to keep my expectations low so that I don’t disappoint myself in case this doesn’t live up to KnM’s legacy. It’s just a shame that KOTOKO isn’t doing the OP or ED, which are apparently being handled by CooRie and Ceui, respectively NOOOOOOOOOOOO :_;
Shorty Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 Can't see your image booker... site doesn't like hotlinking. But I'm guessing after following the link that it was the one with the mostly naked females. Actually I could probably come to that conclusion just from it being you. Anyways, Winter 2007 is way too far away. I don't want to wish a whole year of my life away faster, I may have less than 50 of them left! For now I'll be happy with wanting January 10th (Bleach) and February 15th (Naruto) to hurry up
Supergrunch Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 Yeah I knew it was named after the Manga Entertainment company, but as Supergrunch said they've got a stupid name too. They could pass off their company name with a simple explanation, but instead they try to make out that anime=manga. I've met plenty of people who don't realise manga means book material and not just another word for Japanese animation, mostly thanks to that very company. The worst person like that was this girl I met who was like "Do you like manga videos? I love watching manga videos on youtube!". So I said "Do you mean anime?" and she said "Yeah, I guess you could call it that...". Oh well, I suppose it's better than "cartoon porn", which is what 90% of my friends call anime...

One of my friends said, in English when discussing movies we liked "yeah, I'm into really abstract stuff, I like weird movies, sci fi, and I'm also into that japanese manga and hentai". Someone else in the class actually turned to him and said "dude, that's cartoon porn", which I found funny.

Mundi Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 List of Winter 2007 animes. There are way to many teenage girls and school uniforms on that list :/
Calza Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 Just realised how much of a noob L is. Why didn't he just contact Light's isp for the websites Light had been on. Would of showed all the criminals Kira killed. Did anybody get that Death Note special, I can't seem to find it anywhere And nice video Dante. Looks like Strawberry Panic with mecha and cat girls...
Supergrunch Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 Just realised how much of a noob L is. Why didn't he just contact Light's isp for the websites Light had been on. Would of showed all the criminals Kira killed.Did anybody get that Death Note special, I can't seem to find it anywhere Do not insult L... he is clearly the most intelligent character in the series. What do you think would happen if L was the one who picked up the death note at the beginning?
Shorty Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 Just watched the first live action Death Note movie. If anyone wants to watch it and see no spoilers whatsoever from the anime, watch it after episode 12 (most recent episode). The movie was pretty damn good IMO. The ending disappointed me a little, they really changed the part with Naomi, and up until that point it had been very faithful. Also by making Light already at Uni, they took away the possibility of one of my favourite scenes from the anime, L and Light's first meeting at the freshmen induction. Ryuk looked awesome even though the CG wasn't amazing itself.
demonmike04 Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 To all those who have Naruto 1:2 Just out of curiosity, do any of the 3 dvd's you got have an option for special features? Its usually on disc three, but when I load it into my DVD player, it doesnt show an option to go there. It states on the box too that there are special features, but im starting to think Manga screwed up abit.

Mine also didn't come with the episode guide book, did yours have that? Might just return mine or sell them on ebay and import the American box sets instead....
The3rdChildren Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 I'm starting to think Manga screwed up abit. Wouldn't be the first time it happened.

Yeh i've got the trailers option and didnt get an episode book. The only positive thing they done this time round was changing how the discs are stored. Hopefully they'l pick up on the mistakes their currently doing and improve for Volume 2:1. But i've got a nasty feeling that this luxury of 13 episodes each volume isnt going to last very long. The3rd: Really? I've only bought one other DVD from Manga and that was Akira which came with 2 discs.

I just emailed manga and accused them of false advertising, since the box says it contains "anime to manga transition" feature and "textless opening and ending" says they respond in three days. In the meantime... looking at the American ones on ebay. Only problem I have with the American ones is the boxes are huge! What's that gonna be like after hundreds of episodes I'd need a whole shelf for one series.
darkcloud Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 Getsumen To Heiki Mina Please lord let this be good! PLEAASSSEEE!!!!!!! Mina is the coolest character ever to star in a show as a model ever! As I'm a big densha/Mina fan I'm preying this is going to be good.

dabookerman Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 The Dubbing of Haruhi Suzumiya Votes. Dub A: Mikuru Dub B: Yuki Dub C: Itsuki Dub D: Kyon They are all awful
Shorty Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 The Dubbing of Haruhi Suzumiya Votes. Dub A: Mikuru Dub B: Yuki Dub C: Itsuki Arggh, they're nearly all awful! All the Mikuru choices bite, why do dubbed cute females always sound so damn pretentious? You can never believe a single character even for a second. That poll needs an option: "They all suck". The second Yuki isn't too bad, and it's hard to decide between 1, 4 and 5 for Koizumi... but. Bleh! If they screw up Mikuru I'll be annoyed. Actually I won't care that much because I'll still watch the subtitled ones, but still! *angry face* Edit: ah, you added Kyon, it's gotta be number 4 for him, but none of them sound nearly dry or sarcastic enough. And wtf is with 5? That ones awful

That ones awful The point is, and this is my opinion, Animes that are set in Japan, will always sound stupid if dubbed into any other language, kinda like the dubbed Jackie Chan Hong Kong films.

Agreed, and they always sound worst when they have to say Japanese names in painfully American accents. Even if they know not to put the emphasis on the second syllable, it still sounds off. The only anime dubs I ever liked were Trigun and Evangelion, and that's partly because I watched those series so long ago, and several times, before I was into anime enough to consider listening to the Japanese first.
Dante Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 The only anime that I find better in english is Ghost in the shell.
demonmike04 Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 I've been reading the death note manga, and something very disappointing happens halfway through volume 7. I think other manga readers will know what I mean... I just got the second half of the manga series, and I have to agree. Incredibly dissapointing.
