*SPOILER!*
Speaking of Starwberry Panic episode 7 just came out and boy did it shock alot of viewers. There is actually a Yuri rape scene.
*SPOILER!*

Can I join? Can I? I'm a huge fan of anime and manga...infact, I worship everything that has something to do with Japan. Almost everything. Please?

List your top 5 favorite animes and a character to represent you. The character must be the same sex as you and has not already been taken. Click on "CLUB" in my sig to see the list.

Well guys, I start my journey to Japan today. Two long years over there. Anyway, don't know when I'll be able to be back here again, so uhh....BigFan, you're in charge while I'm gone. None of the authority figures are here enough these days (will be dealt with later), and you've been here a while, so I'm giving you a shot at replacing some of them. Just don't turn this into a hentai club while I'm gone.

What do you mean by "fantastical"?
Well, I heard that Fist of the North Star and Crying Freeman were really good, but I've never seen either of them. They should be plenty bloody and violent, especially Fist of the North Star.

goodbye.
Will you still be able to post while you're there?

I love that new anime I heard about from Newtype USA "Eurika Seven".

Well i started watching Those Who Hunt Elves. It is really funny... a lot like Slayers in look and humor. It is about an actress, a "numbskull" marital artist, a gun-using girl, and their tank that get sent to another world. To get back home, the have to find 5 elves with pieces of a spell marked on their bodies (all the elves seem to be women.) So basically they go around and strip elves (not graphically)...and they have a tank!

I mean like something that isnt pure fantasy... Something thats a little more realistic... Like One Piece as opposed to Dragon Ball Z...

Try Gungrave, Hellsing, City Hunter, Noir, and well, I ran out. You said you didn't want any fantasy ones. So, I don't think you want to see any with Mechs.

Berserk or Ghost in the Shell are also great Anime and quite realistic (in a way^^).

So you're saying DBZ is more realistic? On the other hand, that would explain David Blaine's levitation trick.
But back to the topic of this thread, a fellow otaku at Ohio State recommended Excel Saga and I was wondering where I could get the DVD box set. Do you guys know some good online or brick-and-mortar stores?

Let's see...

1. Full metal alchemist
2. Gravitation
3. Chobits
4. Final fantasy unlimited
5. D.N.Angel

A female character....ehh...hard one....hmm.... Freya from chobits, perhaps.

Good list. Miyazaki has some good movies. Slayers is one of my favorites. I don't know about Kikaider though...didn't really like it very much. Cyborg 009 is sort of the same and is better in my opinion (the main guys looks almost exactly the same).

How do you like it? I still need to ink though...

I was just googling slayers and i came across this. It is kind of a neat idea.

I think it's a good manga, I haven't seen the anime, but it can't be too different from it, can it? Of course a typical 15 years old boy could like it. Then again, he might not. Because no matter how "typical" someone is, he still might have tastes different from the other "typical" people. (forgive me my bad english, can't help it)
Heey, I have a question: Is Full metal alchemist getting a sequel? I hate the way the movie ended, and I'd like to see the followup.... But I live in Finland, so I can't possibly find it out *annoyed*

You obviously didn't think your decision through very thoroughly.

1. Does BigFan even have the password to update the memberlist?

2. Why leave the power in the hands of one member? We are one of the largest (if the not the largest) discussion-oriented clubs on NG. Back when tasks were divided, shit got done and this club was FUN. (Remember the good old days? http://kouga-kun.tripod.com/nganimeclub/)

3. We all have lives outside of NG and the memberlist is the last thing on our minds among everything else we have to deal with. Why make one person do all the work.

4. Wonko, you are quite the hypocrite. You and Tink are barely around. You are in no position to take cheap shots at authority figures like myself, Ranma, Trivia. I'm sophomore in college, I will not take shit from you or anyone else. I AM SICK OF WAITING FOR YOU AND TINK TO MAKE THIS CLUB BETTER. DO SOMETHING WITH CLUB OR STEP DOWN!

5. For the past year and half, this club has turned quite literally to shit. Membership is down, posts per day are down, the forums are barren. WHY?

6. I love this club deeply and I hate seeing the sorry state it is in. On this club's 3rd anniversary I asked Tom Fulp to give us a shout out on the homepage, and -Kuro- from the was kind enough to give us a 3rd anniversary shout out with our club's NG tank logo on the upcoming Anime Collab flash. THE SPIRIT OF THIS CLUB HAS DWINDLED AND I HAVE BEEN DOING EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO SAVE IT.

Didn't ask him to update it. I just want someone to keep the peace.

Well, since eveyone (and yes, i know this includes me) is gone most of the time, it's hard to be able to do that.

3. We all have lives outside of NG and the memberlist is the last thing on our minds among everything else we have to deal with. Why make one person do all the work.

Again, I did not mention the members list. What is your obsession with that thing? We don't even do role playing anymore, which is pretty much why we had people choose characters in the first place. If I so want to, I can just say screw it and not make people be characters anymore.

You haven't been an authority figure in....forever. Shut the hell up. And I know I'm barely around. I'm sorry I got off my ass and got A FUCKING JOB DEFENDING YOUR GODDAMN COUNTRY. I'm probably going to Iraq later this year y'know.

5. For the past year and half, this club has turned quite literally to shit. Membership is down, posts per day are down, the forums are barren. WHY?

Before I left for Japan, I tried to have Shin deal with the forum situation. His response was to have you make new forums. I told him to go fuck himself.

6. I love this club deeply

Like fuck you do.

Bullshit you have. You're around less than me.

On a happier note. Things I have learned in Japan.
1) Japanese people really do have anime hair.
2) Vending machines accept Yen.
3) Taxi drivers do not.
4) Japanese TV is fucking crazy.
