I hope it's true because I don't know if I would like it. I'd be able to decide after seeing a few episodes without buying any DVDs.

Cronicles of the Heroic Knight, thats it. I thought it was pretty bitchin. The first like 10 episodes were based around Parn, who I assume was in an earlier series do to alot of missing back story, and from 11th episode to the end, the series followed Sparks.

I've seen all 40 episodes of Record of Lodoss War, and I agree that it's pretty bitchin'. The first part is simply titled "Record of Lodoss War" and it tells the story of how Parn became the Free Knight in 13 OAV episodes. The next series, "Record of Lodoss War: Chronicles of the Heroic Knight" builds on the OAV and the first season (13 episodes) continue to follow Parn and his friends. The second season (14 episodes) follow Spark, the young knight-in-training as he tries to follow in Parn's footsteps. What I liked the most was "the second part", a side-story told by chibi versions of the main characters; it provides the perfect amount of comic relief to supplement the kick-ass action of the series.

yeah, the box set I have starts when Cheris and Orsen show up to claim the taxes in the name of king so and so who I really dont remember. The collection came with a little panphlet that says how the first 13 episodes dont match up with Cronicles of the heroic knight because it was a different storyboard team or something, but it should still be enjoyed all the same. I reall did enjoy it to. And as to the second part, It has that to, an I have to plead guilty to at some point or another, just skipping through the show and watching all the second parts straight through.

still pissed about Orsen dying though.

Anyways, my copy of Cowboy Bebop: The Perfect Sessions came in the mail the other day, worth the $27.96 I spent on it.
Watched all but about five episodes, ace series.

Are there any more connections like this?

Well, Senor Trivia, you've asked the million dollar question.

***GASP! IT'S TEH TEH TEH MEGA SPOILERS! OH NOES! LOOK AWAY!***

- King Yama is in fact mentioned in both YYH and DBZ, but seems to be much more of a powerful figure in YYH than DBZ. I have a feeling that King Yama (or Yemma, as I once heard it said) is another figure from Japanese mythology.

- Ever notice how Lina keeps getting bitchy about being flat as a board, but she seems to fill out quite a bit throughout the series? I heard that that was a joke at Ranma 1/2's expense, referring to how the girl Ranma's chest changed size each time Ranma turned into the girl form.

- While not truly an inter-series reference, I've come to the conclusion that Naga from the Slayers movies and OAVs is the sister of Amelia from the series. I've seen many reasons to believe this; 1) In one episode of the series, Lina gives a Naga-esque laugh, and Amelia asks her not to do it again because, as she put it, it reminded her of her sister. 2) During one episode of the first Slayers series, Naga (or somebody dressed just like her) walks by, and Amelia does a double take. 3) Amelia and Naga NEVER MEET. I heard that they're both in one of the Slayers movies, but I also heard that Naga's appearance was just a cameo, and due to the shortness of her stay she never had a chance to see Amelia.

- Ever notice how Ryu's stance in the Street Fighter II anime when he does the Hadouken looks ODDLY SIMILAR to a certain spiky-haired guy's signature move from Dragonball Z?

- In both Gokudo and Inuyasha, there is a character named Miroku. The Inuyasha version is a Buddhist monk, and the Gokudo version is some kind of spirit whose release would cause the world to change drastically (not being cryptic to avoid giving it away, but rather because I don't remember what the release meant)

- Look at Dai-Guard and Evangelion. In Dai-Guard, the protagonists have to use a massive robot to combat equally massive monsters formed from the elements. In Evangelion, the protagonists use giant robots (more or less) to combat equally massive monsters formed from who knows what. HMMMM, METHINKS ME SEES A COINCIDENCE.

- Another one that's not quite a inter-series one, but kinda is. Anyone who saw the final few episodes of Zoids remembers seeing Cloud and the Liger Zero fighting Vega Obscura and the Berserk Fury, but do you remember what they were fighting next to? It was the finish line for the event, a gigantic dead Zoid. If you look closely at it, you can tell that it is the exact same Zoid as the "flying fortress" Zoid in the lake in Zoids: Chaotic Century. You know, the one that all the survivors rush into after Hiltz gets the DeathStinger? While we're on the subject, the three Zoids that the BackDraft group sent to stop Vega are the same type as Raven's second Zoid, the GenoSoarer.

Yes, I oticed all those things. And in the Japanese version, it was the Berserk Fuhrer, not the Berserk Fury.

But Amelia's older sister apparently died due to someone trying to take the thrown.

In Slayers: Lost Universe the police girl looks just like Amelia but with blond hair.

What rumor? It's been confirmed for months... I was the one who broke the story back in March. I dropped $50 just to get the scoop on that story... My source came from a subscriber news service and the money was well worth it.

I dont know, but here is the highest and lowest review on it on Gamefaqs.com. you can compare and decide for yourself.

Bad review of 2/10
Good review of 10/10

And the rest of the reviews are here in case you really arent sure wich one was mor compelling. Just looking though, most people gave it a 7 or higher out of 10.

As for madden, dont trade it unless you're absolutely sure you want to. Once I trade a game, I instantly want to play it and have to re purchase it weeks later.

One more dude. And I think those are a bit childish. Wait till you see something better. I recomend Outlaw Star, Records of Lodoss War, Evangelion, and Fullmetal Alchemist. These are good starter in my opinion.

I honestly dont know, just wait for another member to answer this.

Since I'm making a double post, may aswell ad some bulk to it....

Has anyone in here seen Interlude? I think it's pretty good, though I dont really understand it entirely. It looks to me like a movie split in to 3 sections. The cover has nothing on it about being so and so volume in a collection, yet it has three episodes. And on the last one, it looks like the end, though the could really add from it.

Also, I've had Seriel Experiment Lain for a few months now, and never finished the second disc... what the hells wrong with me.

And lastly, can anyone recomend a site with good tutorials for begginers trying to draw anime? And maybe perhaps a few excercises to increase hand-eye coordination? I have a really shakey hand which makes circles and straight lines impossible. I figure a little practice would help.

I have a subscription to Shonen Jump, so they send me issues a month in advance of the newsstands.

It turns out I don't even need to trade it in; I found a place online where you can buy any CD, DVD, or video game for $1, and I bought Inuyasha: The Secret of the Cursed Mask from there. The website is called BarterBee.com, and apparently it works by buying stuff with points that you either buy with money or earn by selling stuff.

Hmmm, I'll really have to look into that. $1 crap is very appealing to the cheap, and I'm CHEAP. Oh, and did you dint the review links of any use? Not that a one dollar game needs to be thought out.

No, it was NOT her sister who died. It was her MOTHER. The story as I understand it is that the assassin killed Amelia's mom in front of her sister (who before becoming Naga was named Gracia). Gracia, in grief and rage, used her magic and basically blasted the assassin way the fuck past hell. Terrified at the thought of what might happen if another assassin came, Gracia got something of her mother's from the closet (a strange type of armor known as the "battle bikini" which Naga would be seen in later on), changed her name to Naga, and fled the castle.

Yeah your just not MR. Trivia without it!

While i was away i managed to watch 24 (i think but i may have the number mixed up with another series) episodes of Berserk it was pretty cool.

Anyone here ever read BECK or seen the anime? That is one kick-ass series.

Sorry for the double-post, but I found my vintage sig pic. I accidentally put it in the wrong folder and sent it to my recycle bin. Luckily, I haven't emptied my Recycle Bin in over a month, so it was easy to restore the file and upload it again.

Nearly all of those sound like excellent anime; you must have a good source because I can't find any titles like those in the Greater Columbus area.
Now all that's left is for you to choose a character to represent you. Here is a list of the characters already taken.
