Just finished reading Mars #1 today. I also read Marmalade Boy #2, #3, and #4. Mars is a romance, so if you're not into romance, or would rather see Naruto stab someone to death or Akane yelling at Ranma and pulling out a hammer, this manga is not for you. I thought it was good.

Marmalade Boy is um... well the characters and how they all relate to each other is strange... but I'm getting into Marmalade Boy. I would explain each character in depth and how they all get involved with one another... but that would take too long. :'( PBX is teh lazy.

Go onwards, ProtoBassX. I would like to hear more about it. I do not trust Review sites, ads, and summeries from the casing of an anime as much as I do a true opinion from a person.

You do realise that all those things are people too. It's not like they have a gigantic super-computer that hands out those reviews at random.

Very true. Those are people paid to promote the anime, or whatever it is that they promote. And if not, then they are usually lenant (another mispelled word) as to not look too harsh. If they are too harsh too often they are not taken seriously and seen as "joke reviewers" such as what you will find at Somethingawful.com. So, pure word of mouth would be the most suitable to go with. Or a place where people would talk about anime openly. Now I must find a place that fits this description. can you help me Daddy?

I've got a better idea, how about, you leave me alone you damn freak?

Also, I'm really surprised that for their 100th episode, Naruto just kept on having filler. I was expecting a special.

If Gatsu is not taken, then I think It'S okay but I'm not the one to decide that so I think you must talk to wonko.

Kay-o. I got time. (No swimming practice, thank goodness.) Okay, I'm going to list each character and explain them... so obvously this is all *Spoiler*-mania. Don't read if you plan on reading Marmalade Boy #1-3.

*Spoiler-mania*

In Japan, there are 3 years of High School. These characters are all in their first high school year. (Sophmore in American, and if I'm right, mostly every other schools)

Miki - Main character. (She is the definition of naive. o_O) One day her parents divorced each other and switched spouses with Yuu's parents. they all live in one big house. Had a crush on Ginta, her best guy friend. Also has a crush on Yuu her step-brother.... sorta. Akizuki's best friend. She's on the tennis team. (The manga revolves alot around the sport tennis.)

Opinion - Not bad for a main character. I like her personality, and she has her funny moments.

Yuu - Miki's stepbrother... sorta. Thinks he's in love with Miki. Played tennis at his old school, and is Ginta's cousin's rival. Went out with Arimi for 3 months. Everyone in school likes Yuu. He's the supposed "Marmalade Boy"; sweet on the outside and bitter on the inside. Is trying to look for his biological father. (The father he lives with is his step-father, but they love each other the same.)

Opinion - Heh, this guy cracks me up. He always teases Miki, and ends up confusing her.

Ginta - Miki's best guy friend. Has a crush on her. Is on the tennis team. In middle school, he got a letter from Miki which told him that Miki liked him. He laughed with his friends and denied any feelings for Miki. The next day he cut his hair short. (In Japan, it's tradition to do that after a breakup or an act of humility. Or something like that. :P) Miki didn't talk to him for an entire year. The truth is, someone took the letter from him and they laughed, not Ginta. In fact, Ginta felt the same way about Miki. He didn't have the guts to tell her. Went out with Arimi to make Miki jealous.

Opinion - I like this character. Nothing special about him though... :\ Pretty much like any other school boy...

Akizuki (and Nachan) - Mika's best friend. She had an affair with one of the teachers, Nachan. They didn't do it for "teh secks" though. they really loved each other. One time, when Akizuki's parents were fighting, she left home. She went to Nachan's apartment for comfort, and she cried herself to sleep while Nachan held her hand. Someone spotted Akizuki entering Nachan's apartment and jumped to the conclusion that they slept together. After that, Nachan resigned from being a teacher and left to inherit his father's business, real estate. He said that if he couldn't keep Akizuki happy, then he couldn't stay. Then he left. Nachan was also the tennis coach.

Opinion - I heard this kinda thing happened alot in all girls schools. It doesn't strike me as strange or wrong, age doesn't really matter when it comes to love, does it? (Unless it includes "teh secks", then I think it's wrong. Wait 'till you're 18. >_<) I like Akizuki; she had an aura of mystery around her... Nachan was liked by all the students, so I couldn't help but like his character too.

Arimi - Yuu's former girlfriend. She's really manipulative, I feel like beating her with a rubber hammer. o_O I can't really describe her that much... but she is still in love with Yuu, but the feeling isn't mutual.

Opinion - Look up there.

Ginta's cousin - His name escapes me right now. He was Yuu's rival in their old school, but he never beat him. He's also a rival with Ginta. He's been in love with Arimi, since I think the 3rd grade. He played a double's match with Yuu and Ginta and the loser would have to shave their head. Needless to say, Ginta and Yuu won. Ginta's cousin and his partner shaved their heads.*

* - (In the school of "Marmalade Boy"'s author, if you were late to tennis practice, you would have to shave your head. Also, if the school got the lowest rank, all the boys had to shave their heads, which happened in the author's 3rd year in High School.)

*Spoiler*

I think I covered everyone... except for the parents. I didn't feel like typing about 'em. So yeah. Those up there are my character review things from the first 3 manga volumes. Yay for me. I got Akira #1-3 from the library today. When I first saw it on the shelves, I was like O________________O. Then my face turned into ^___________^. And then I checked them out. I've only completely read the first one. :)

Just finished with the first 4 episodes. Some of the best character development I've seen. I am gonna have to look for the manga now too. Exelent fights also.

Allright.
New question:
did someone (in authority) Watch/read my application for a character change on the last page, and on the hyperboards forum for the last WEEK (yes, it changed a few times, but, still nobody responded.) and just ignored it, or did you miss it?

I'm thinking about Dr. Agasa from Detective Conan/Case Closed, but I'd like to consider my options.

Does anyone have any suggestions? How many funny scientists are there in anime?

Partly to avoid confusion, partly bacause of an old habit.
On most of the boards I go to, permission to join in on the ongoing activity from the mods or admins is required, on some it is even required to write a small 2 page description of your character(s) (permission to join in still required).

Well we don't really do that, and we've pointed that out before.

There's Dr. Briefs from the Dragon Ball series. He had a cat around, that automatically made him funny.
