I think it's safe to assume that the majority of things that people here watch has touched American soil.

Unless they're watching fansubs.

i tend to stick to the fansubs even when its been released in america. The only one i watch that hasn't been voiced at least a little bit is Gintama.
If you like all the goofy stuff in anime, this one is awesome. Plenty senseless violence and random humor.

*Possible spoilers about Black Lagoon. Do NOT read further if you haven´t seen it.*

Goddamn, it was awesome. The violence, the story, the characters.
Ah yes, story: Near the end they try to build up some "sort of" relationship between Rock and Revy. It somehow worked, strangely enough. I get the feeling that Dutch doesn´t get an appropiate ending, it just ends. Which is another point.
The ending.
If they try to sell me that as a conclusive ending, I´ll laugh.
I´ve seen all 24 Episodes and still think it needs a few more. Maybe they got bored of the series, I don´t know, all I know is that it deserved more. And I´ll never know if the nun did get shot.
But still, I really liked this.

*SPOILERS OVER, SAFE TO READ.*

Did I just hear me some illegal discussion?

Damn right they should.

I´m still moaning about the end. Can´t be helped, just have to wait.

On another Note, has anyone seen Makai Senki Disgaea?

Plan to get it.

Do you think they should atart another series of Ninja Scroll?

no. The series wasn't good and I'm sure another one would turn out the same.

Well, I like fansubs too. but only watch them If I have already bought said anime being fansubbed. The Big company subs I find to be washed down a bit...

Much agreed.

I felt the movie said all that needed to be said, so a series wasn't even warranted in the first place.

Maybe they should make an oav series that, while brillant, resolves none of the plot?

I thought the movie was pretty bad.

"HEY, HEY LOOK AT THIS! NUDITY! VIOLENCE AND NUDITY! RAPE!" etc.

Funny, I think the same.

I was always unpopular for that, because EVERYBODY thinks it's some kind of masterpiece.

I re-watched it give or take two years ago, and while I still see it as artless and exploitative, I got a chuckle out of the sheer ridiculousness of it all.

hey, i'm not the one ripping it, translating it, recoding it, and then releasing it for the public.....i just like to watch it. and mostly just stuff that hasn't even been released on dvd yet in USA.

Sorry, but the legality is still too questionable for it to be apt club discussion fodder.

We're weird like that.

But you're still knowingly committing a crime.

It's like buying smuggled goods, only more free and digital.

Well, the fact of the matter is, you did not buy it, and by not buying it, you are hurting the anime itself. Seriously, some great animes can go under if they don't make a profit. If you wanna watch fansubs, buy the thing itself.

I did it. I HAVE FINALLY FINISHED HOKUTO NO KEN!

109 episodes of pure awesome. Who knew that people blowing up countless times could be so fucking great. This series is a must fucking watch. If you don't watch this anime, you will die within the year, and you will not die a plesent death either. The final battle between Ken and Raoh was so fucking GAR, that the sheer thought of it is giving me a raging hard-on. In conclusion, HnK has to be one of my favourite anime series of all time. It's that awesome.

Now to sit through HnK 2, the OVAs, the Movies, and Fist of the Blue Sky.

I had no idea there was an anime of Fist of the Blue Sky. I thought it was only a manga. I'm guessing it wasn't released in North America, yes?

Sounds pretty hardcore. I might have to buy some of the dvds. And yes, people blowing up randomly is great for any series:D

Today was a good day.

I'll answer this one, too.

They really don't need to because of the fact that the first series did it's job pretty good and then the movie came along and did some stuff. Some good, some pretty bad, but pleasant nonetheless.

O lawd...

That reminds me that I've had the chance to use an English patched Vocaloid for months and I've yet to do diddly-squat with it.

Bad time to start watching Clannad.

Now I've got to wait three weeks for it to end.

Grr...

Fuckin' A.

I don't think i can watch 100+ episodes of it though.

Do it, or I'll kill you.

Seriously, do it.

In Japanese related news, I tried some Pocky today.

It wasn't bad.

Haven't had any in a year.

Not a huge fan, but it makes for an okay treat.

Yes. Yes you can. For all that is good in the world, you CAN.

It's quite addictive, really.

I've been eating a lot of Japanese sweets lately, but only because that's what my Japanese teacher keeps giving me whenever I win these class activity things which involve being given a bunch of words and particles, and having to make a coherent sentence out of them.

It's mostly candy.

I used to go through an entire box in less than an hour.

And there's that time I spent around $30 on it at a convention.

It's hard to find around here nowadays, so I haven't be arsed to seek it out.
