Scream Man

That's the cover to the set i got. if u tell me it gets better ill try a few more episode, ill i get to disk 2 anyway.

honestly; I HAVE Alien toys! i don't need more. I'd prefer they stick with japanese characters i can't get elsewhere.

By Gods Sayuki sucked! i made it through 1 disk, and i dont think I'll ever go back. When was this made?! Its like it was done with Flash animation! Ugh...

I liked the episode actually. i was worried they'd drag out rush's innevitable return, so Im glad they didn't. All the infighting isn't totally my scene, but overall its a fun show.

Got given Saiyuki today Never seen it, so should be interesting!

I'm thinking of trying Claymore when we get it as a box set down here. I hear good things.

Anyone seen Noein? It sounds kinda interesting and clips ive seen seem OK.

I just got the 11 DVD set of the TV series! I'm goign to start over the wekeend if i get time.

Yeah E7 took about 15/20 episodes to get REALLY good

ah, u can put up the riot shiled on Unit 2, i wondered. cheers for the pics mate

i just started Baccano! First 2 eps were awesome; it so far seems as good as i had heard. Also the theme goes into my top 5 anime themes for sure!

oh hell yes! I'll totally get that' that's awesome! Does the shotguin have seperate shells? And what pilot does the blue one come with?

i'd be willing tp pay double. Not many figures Id say that about, in this case i will. Whatever it takes for Tekkaman toys.

i wish the figures with it were articulated, but hey that's a pipe dream. wonder what the price will be? hey I can't find much more info on unit 2; anyone have pics of Ota or details on the shotgun? Does it have seperate shells?

i definitely need to get the Arbalest and Fulke.

Well that sucks! Which store is it exclusive too?

good advice, cheers Man i do love this toy i have to admit. its so fun to fiddle with, the detail is outstanding and the poseability is some of the best Ive ever seen on a Mech.

are there english translations of the novels?

Yeah the neck pistons are looking dicey to fix. ANyone buy theirs at HLJ? Maybe someone who could help me get replacement parts?

I'm over arguing about it. I'll just struggle through my pathetic attempt at fandom as best I can. Finished FMP: 2nd Raid. Not bad, but it felt sort of abridged. Now i just have to hope they anime the rest of the books so we dont end on such a meh kind of ending.

Well my waist joint seems OK. It's a tiny bit loose i guess, but not debilitatingly so. And when i pulled the head up out of the box the neck pistons broke. i dont know how I managed that, I barely pulled it, but...yep, they broke. i THINK i can fix 'em. Hopefully. Otherwise its great. articulation is awesome, detail is amazing, lights are great. Love the bullets and the gun. The figures nice, the overall feel is cool. I think I'll be getting Unit 2, and try not to break it.

But that isn't an opinion. Saying that illegally pirating fansubbed anime doesnt hurt the anime industry is just plain wrong! It's an incorrect assessment of facts, not an opinion that can be taken from either point! The arguement the podcast made was that fansubbing only hurt the american industry. Now I extrapolated that to mean the western industry; any country that gets dubs or releases through an American company. They said that by fansubbing, we showed the american industry we wouldnt take their editing hack jobs, and that if American companies went out of business, it would be for the best, and then anime could get back to its pure roots or somesuch. What this fails to take into account is that part of the money a Japanese anime company would earn comes from the lisencing of their products to an American company for re-distribution. In the case of a company like Bandai, that could also shrink their market in terms of the lisenced products they sell, the toys and whatnot. Now how much money a company makes on soemthing like that I have no idea, but I would bet there is a licence fee and possibly some sort of royalties or something. And then maybe there is money made when the american company sub-licences to another country (Say ADV licneced to Madman in Australia). Other than the first licence fee i cant be sure if that happens or not, but it wouldnt surprise me. But regardless, it made their point wrong, and their emphatic enforcement of it stupid.

That's my point exactly Eughi. I personally dig dubs, whatever you dig is your call. But don't talk down to me because I like a diffgeren tthing to you (Not you personally Eugi, i mean anime fans who think of us as lesser humans). i was litening to a podcats recently where they encouraged the use of downloading and said not to buy the US releases of things, because it was better for the Japanese market, and western companies didnt deserve to get money for anything they released because "Every single one of them was worse, and broken". That kind of attitude is so stupid it hurts, and its not an uncommon thought in anime.

excellent, thank you. And i have no problem watching stuff with subtitles, I just prefer dubs. i do other stuff when watching shows, so having to watch the screen intently take sme away from that. I'll do it, thats how I watch anything macross and how I watched all of gundam 00. But im watching a bunch of shows dubbed now and dont feel Im missing anything important.

some of us like dubbed. Who are you to say we're wrong? i dont step all over people who like subs. Hell, I'll watch em if i have too. Finished Planetes, which was amazing. From start to finish, one of the best all round animes Ive ever seen. Now alternating FMP Second Raid and Fate/Stay Night. hey is the Patlabor series 11 DVD's? That seems to be it, buit I cant tell if that includes the AMV follow up.
