-Ruka

[BeeCrest]

I chose Kenshin, cuz out of all the one I know in the poll, he is the best, is strong, and has great style.

[SmallKid57]

yay for kenshin... and he was a sweet assassin in his day... but he assassinated badguys... so he's a good guy whose bad... and in the future he's like a protector person mabbober... so kenshin!

[Rokusaburo]

Samurai Champloo is overrated. Its a cheap imitation of any other good samurai anime.

Boondocks + samurai x = samurai champloo = over rated

[SLVR]

FYI Iv just started watchin monster

[MazdaRxEight]

RK is awesome in both the fighting and... the plot... and mentality of the characters.

[MazdaRxEight]

Kenshin made me always look towards the future and not give up because other people could be suffering much more than me.
Street Fighter II V the series is kick ass in music as well and always gets me pumped to do almost anything.

in addition to those, I'd like to add Fullmetal Alchemist, need to work hard to get things you want! and Hunter X Hunter.... the kindness of Gon

[MazdaRxEight]

The storyling, characters, humor (a must!), combat styles (if applicable), and very important!!! the soundtrack/music.

[akin_t]

What makes a show popular? That's easy - it's the advertising it gets, from fans trying to spread the love.

What makes a show likeable? For me it would have to be the characters, I must love the characters before I love a show. Even if it does get reptitive I would still watch it. It's the reason I still watch Naruto every week, that show owns - filler or not.

[MooL]

I'm confused by this because isn't popularity usually measured by the amount of fans that an anime has? Its like saying an anime is popular because its popular right?

If you mean advertising type promos and information like on sites such as Anime web Turnpike or Anime News Network then I must agree. Like the big studio movies that get lots of trailer spots on TV and in theatres to build up hype about the movie so people will go and watch.

Popularity is how widely known and adored a series is. But, when I say "fanbase", I mean all the things that are incorporated with fans (i.e. clubs, sites, webrings, etc). For example, "pop music" or popular music is a collective genre of music that gets the most air time and most people recognize it.

There are some who don't like Pop, and it's only really popular because a vast bulk of people do.

So..some stinky shows have stinky fans or the opposite--maybe you like it or loathe that specific series--either way, if the quantity of fans is large, it's popular.

[Undying]

Kenshin hands down. He has an anti-kill policy and still beats everyone. But if I could, I'd have chosen Kyo from Samurai Deeper Kyo.

[.Samurai]

but sc is almost like based on a story and i learned something

[Planeswalker]

Wrong section methinks 0_o try posting this in anime/manga section not the Bleach animesection.

BTW your list sucks. You left out Zoro from One Piece who could own any of the non DBZ characters on that list

[Boko]

How can you state something like that, it just makes me cry!

[Boko]

When i watch this anime i just want to become a vampire mohahahaha
;)

[chiriyuku]

GOKU!! But only coz of his weird personality. ^^

[Jinx20]

I Just watched the first OVA, (dont no if its the no u all talking about) Its AWESOME!!! 50min long and sticks more to the manga;)....think im gonna watch it again:) Bwhahahaha!

[Dradam]

I was always under the impression that ninja's did all of the Samurai's dirty work, all of the stuff that would disgrace a samuri's honour a ninja would do eg. assasination etc.

[Alkarzar]

If I like it , eveyone will like it ... Well , must like it ... or else

[Rokusaburo]

None of those.

Inuyasha > All

naraku > all

[brolijc]

Firstly, its whether or not you want to give the manga or anime a chance. i mean no matter how good an anime sounds, or how much popularity it has, it depends on yourself.

Secondly, after giving it a chance, now what you gonna do is to leave the rest up to the manga or anime to impress you. i mean, no matter what the title is, even a normal title like YuYu Hakusho in which i don't even know what that means, after i gave it a chance and started watching it, i got hooked, by the storyline, the plot, the fighting scenes and most importantly the creativity of the show.

in one of the earlier posts i saw, one person mentioned that you have to like the main character to like an anime, i would like to disagree on that. i don't like Ichigo, i don't like Naruto, i don't like Inuyasha, i don't like Gon (no offense, i'm talking about the character names here, not the anime titles) they are all main characters of these popular anime like Bleach, Naruto, Inuyasha and Hunter X Hunter. but i don't hate the anime, in fact i love to watch these anime. Take Hunter X Hunter for example, i keep on watching it not to see the main character, but to see the great story development and also my favourite characters like Hisoka and Kuroro etc. at the same time hoping that one day someone will kick Gon in the ass, same for Bleach, i continue to watch it to see Gin, Aizen etc. hoping that one day they would kick Ichigo in the ass (of course in the end Ichigo will win)

[Dradam]

Personally i believe it's all about character's and storyline, however i have heard some disturbing rumours about Anime's and Manga's from Japan containing subliminal mind messaging. Freaky.

[Undying]

Kyo/Kyoushiro > Inuyasha > Naraku!

[KuroShinobi]

indeed it does.. any other clues?

[Byakuya7]

Seijuro Hiko from Rurouni Kenshin. So godly...

[Sorian]

A lot of people chose Kenshin that surprised me, but yeah I said Kenshin too. He is like a god of fighting.

[Byakuya7]

I was always under the impression that ninja's did all of the Samurai's dirty work, all of the stuff that would disgrace a samuri's honour a ninja would do eg. assasination etc.

Samurai's also carried out assasinations. If it was for the good of the country, a samurai would not hesitate to cut down a man who stood in the way of peace..(i.e Kenshin)

[Undying]

Seiju do be stronger. And Kyo own all.

[Rokusaburo]

Not in the good of a counrty; more like, If your master told you to do anything, you would it without question.

Even if he told you to take your own life, you would do it without thinking twice.

And no, The ninja didnt do the samurai's dirty work (Lol) most of them were hired against the samurai. thats why its been always very controuversial, ninja vs. samurai. even though some lords did hire ninjas to carry out missions and deliver messages and work with the samurai.

but assassinations and shiet like that was mostly done by the ninja. Even tho a samurai who was a merc. for hire would be sent to do any type of job. That was his specialty, if he needed to kill someone, protect someone, deliver a messager w/e. Best example of a samurai like such, would be Kenshin

[Alkarzar]

Is it one of the .Hack// sagas ?

[Asa]

Azumanga is a very nice comedy anime but its hard to find an anime only with comedy most of the comedy anime have a drama or action

[Asa]

naruto the very first one

[Dradam]

Dragon Ball Z, i first saw it at my cousins house.

[Domhnall]

Pokemon...When I was just a tiny little kid.....Although Ijust watched it cause it was a cartoon and I liked the game.

First actual time watching an anime knowing what it was about and from etc. was Full Metal Alchemist.

[Thanathan]

The first were I think Sailor Moon, Cat´s Eye and Captain Tsubasa xD

I´m not really intressted in Animes a long time. So the first when I really started to watch were Hellsing and Record of Lodoss War ^^

[Ichigo1234]

I am guessing it is a manga from Shojo Beat



Is it one of the .Hack// sagas ?
I am 100% sure is is not .hack

[Gundamblueriver]

I personaly like Vash the best out of those you listed. He's really cool when he needs to be but really, he's just a huge dork otherwise.

[Byakuya7]

I think I'll check out the first OVA, I've been waiting for it to come out for quite some time.

[scared_link]

Why is this posted in the Bleach section when we have a beautiful Anime section? Secondly I'll go For Son Goku!

[SmallKid57]

lol i dont even no half the ppl on the list... but the half of the ppl i do no i say kenshin...

[negi_sensei]

Gah. Does asuna stay dead? SOMEONE SPOIL IT FOR ME. =< I've read the first 4 mangas, and I've just watched the 24th episode today. Im waiting for the last two to download.. -.-

[negi_sensei]

Sailor moon. I COSPLAYED IN GRADE 2 FOR HALLOWEEN! >.>

[Jinchuu]

It's Berserk.

[K.Ogawa]

wow, it's good to see that there are other people out there with a good head on their shoulders. i've thought of that as well. though it's sad that "morals" have gone down nowadays, you can't deny the fact how far we, as humanity, has come in the past century. i talked with a buddy of mine a few days ago about this actually.

if you look at world war II and world war I, those were big wars led by a crazy dictator. and thought they're not extinct nowadays, i don't think people are massly blind to follow them as they are nowadays (though there are radical muslims, there are in fact, many muslims that totally disagree with all the fighting, who are peace loving and respect all other religions)... but then again, you have iran and all them other countries that just act like they're triffling, ya know? i mean, if you want nuclear capabilites for power, then more power to ya, but if you're acting suspicious, then what the hell are we supposed to do? and all because of what? because they want isreal. i think you know, but muslims have been fighting over the "holy land" for a long time, they think that it's rightfully theirs. and to me, that seems really damn immature. ya know? get the hell over it, someone else is living on that land. God still loves you even if you're standing somewhere else... sheesh... now they want to raise ruckus and the US thinks they're the world police trying to get their hands on everyone else's business...

okay, i've digressed yet again.

but i agree, people have lost that "loving feelin" for others. and though i disagree how the war is being run, i will never regret what i've done here, even if its just a little... i guess its like ichigo, in a way. you can't just protect your family, you have to want to protect everyone you can... and when i came here i thought "well, i'll do it for my friends and my family"... but now, it's changed. when i saw those kids fighting over pens and paper, it really breaks my heart how us in america can take for granted lots of things... now, i do it for the people of afghanistan. some people back home dont' give two shits about these people, but now that i'm here, i will care, do what i can, and pray for them, because to a lot of these folks, we've changed their lives a lot for the better and they are so optimistic about their future... we wouldn't want to wreck it all over again.

though i'm a Christian (not religious and dogmatic, more spiritual) i am studying buddhism, mainly zen, and have actually adopted some of the beliefs. the good thing about buddhism is, it has no "god", just rules that you strive to follow... or something like that, so i can practice along with my Christianity..

well, sorry for the book guys. :face82:

[Canadian Shinigami]

Aizen Souske because I haven't seen the other animes that mention the other persons.

[SLVR]

Wolfwood. I didnt see to many villans but if thier was one it would Legato

[M_Ghey]

Vash and Kenshin are pretty cool, I think

[Rokusaburo]

Motoko Kusanagi > ALL

[Apl420]

Midori no Hibi/Midori's days.
I've watched maaany anime, and most of my anime gotto have comedy in it. This is by far the most hilarious. well, the anime wasn't that good since they cut it to 13 episodes and leave out many parts and characters.

But the manga totally cracked me up.
www.yurikamome.info
thats the web for the manga if u want to try and read.

[Apl420]

One of my fav anime/manga ^.^
I wish they made the anime longer and didn't cut out characters....
The maga was great though.

[Undying]

Unquestionably, Kyo > ALL!

[Chrono Detector]

I didn't find Elfen Lied humorous at all. All about pain, bloodshed and murder.

Of course, I found Excel Saga funny and retarted at most times. And not to mention some parts of Bleach can be quite comical as well.

[choking]

ive only seen the anime... and it was so kawaii! ^ ^

[Bankai-dps]

funny? hmmm i would recommend school rumble, FMP Fumoffu, Honey and Clover (it switches tho from laugh out comedy and drama, back n forth), FLCL is psychotic comedy, if u think the anime is random-weird, read the manga. Genshiken has its moments, as long as u get all the anime in-jokes they do.

[choujiwong]

I guess RK is the heroe of all times. Coz I don't quite know the others except for RK and sasuke.

[choujiwong]

Erm..Yakitake Japan...

[unwaken]

It's Berserk.

wait. its berserk??

you've gotta be kidding me.

[Lan]

Gin-he's cool,strong and his smile is awesome

Bottle fairy-4 fairy's tring to become human by studying them,often with misleading info.
Cromartie high-haven't had a chance to see yet,But heard its exelent.

These are just a few i know of.

p.s. elven lied is not funny unless your sadistic.which is why i watched it in electronics.

[Dradam]

Probably Pen-pen from evangelion... a useless yet vitally comical character to the plot...?

I just remembered Appleseed...
Ryarios (Not sure how to spell it)
Dunam

[Asa]

Asuka from NGE she is very cute and strong
Asa from shuffle she is very hot and beautiful and funny girl I love her

[Asa]

I will pick the first ending of gundam seed I think its see-saw song

[Asa]

Kimi ga Nozomu eien is a very nice and romantic one its one of the best romance anime I have ever seen

[yunnie]

yes, the whole baking concept gave me a scare too, but as you said its funny and i alos learned a thing or two about breads!

[Lan]

Songoku all tha way
noone destroyes /fight better !

[chakra25]

Maburaho is another one...

Hillarious and plenty of fan service

[chakra25]

Where's Naruto or Kakashi? Any way, I voted for Gokou because he's the man who got me into anime.

[chakra25]

I have a lot of favorites:

Kenpachi (Bleach) - courageous and strong. I like his bad@ss, fearless attitude. His rietsu seems to have no boundaries.

Saber (Fate Stay Night) - Cute, Elegant, and Strong. I love how she talks.

Mai (Mai-Hime) - loyal to her brother, emotionally strong, kind and caring.

Nina (Mai-Otome) - she's cute and you gotta love her "weakness". I like her cold attitude, and when she opens up, she even cuter.

[geyut]

Hey guys.
I was wondering, anyone watch Shakugan no Shana? It's good, I recently started watching it, up to episode 10 or something, and I like it.
I think there are about 20 eps and still ongoing. You should give it a try.
http://baka-updates.com/search.php?keyword=Shakugan%20no%20Shana&type=title&page=2
is the link to it


Enjoy.
Feel free to discuss the show, but please no spoilers. :winking56

[Chobi]

use the search engine next time, it already exist a thread about this show =]

[geyut]

Oh really?
Sorry bout that :P I never heard this show mentioned at all cept for the one person that told me

[Rokusaburo]

eikichi onizuka: ah yes, ex motorcycle gang leader turned middle school teacher from GTO. a man who cares about his students, was captain of the karate team in college, loves to have fun, sees what is most important in life, and most importantly, a VIRGIN. yes, i can relate so much. you're my hero GTO.


Eikichi Onizuka is the f*cking SHIT

2nd degree black belt, teacher extraordinaire, horn ball and the over all most f*cking kick ass character i have ever seen in an anime.

Then I would say Kagome from Inuyasha

after that my other fav characters are(no specific order): Motoko Kusanagi, Inuyasha, Yoruichi, Ichigo, Kuukaku, Kunio Murai, Vice-Principal Uchiyamada, etc etc

[Jinchuu]

wait. its berserk??
you've gotta be kidding me.
u're talking bout the one that has an anime right?
Exactly...

[SLVR]

Shinomori Aoshi-Almost PWND Kenshin
Uchiha Itachi-Badass and said to be stronger than Oro
Hyuuga Neji-He is Just to cool.
Temari-Hawt
Gin Ichimaru-Mysterious and cool

[moat]

who is my favorite anime character?.....*looks around* i'll give ya a hint. his name is...Gaara. ^_^

[Rokusaburo]

Kagome > ALL

":3

yus!

[St1ckBuG]

I used the search function and browsed the Anime/Manga pages a few times but I didn't see anything regarding this anime, which surprises me...usually I'm not the first person to post on a topic. I guess there's a first time for everything.

It's along the lines of a drama/romance/ecchi.

Highschool girls, art, and more drama then you can shake a stick at. I suggest you check it out. Giving a brief synopsis would almost ruin the first few episodes, so I'll keep it short.

The story revolves around Hiroki and his younger cousin Elis. Hiroki is an apprentice at the same Highschool that Elis goes to, and is also the art club supervisor. Everything else evolves on it's own. The plot consists of love and conflict.

I will warn you though: the first few episodes are repetative, but it starts to mix up a bit.

Enjoy :)

[blade000]

very good info..very gooood

[brolijc]

my favourite characters, lets see

NOT IN ORDER

1) Ichimaru Gin (Bleach) - always hiding his real motive and emotions behind that grin and that amount of confidence he have, he's gonna be the character man

2) Shishio Makoto (Rurouni Kenshin) - one of the true badasses out there in anime, knows how to make use of his own comrades to gain something for himself

3) Hisoka (Hunter X Hunter) - a real unpredictable character, will even cut off his own hand in a battle for the fun of it. loves battle and has the over confidence when fighting which demoralize the opponents

4) Kuroro Lucifer (Hunter X Hunter) - another one of the true badass out there, however compared with Shishio, this guy puts his comrades first before him, other than that, he is a real ruthless character who would kill you before you know it

5) Orochimaru (Naruto) - another crazy character like Hisoka, but still only top 2nd in the crazy character list. snakes and summoning as his strong attacks, you can't hate this character

6) Senshui (Yu Yu Hakusho) - an extremely strong character who don't even put others in his eyes, has very unpredicted nature as he has 7 personalities inside him altogether, and his calmness just makes him one hell cool character

[Ryuukishi]

Ninjas are chinese and originated from chinese farmers.
Was that statement meant to be funny? :eek13:

[unwaken]

hmmm you're actually right..

i googled it. i didn't know they had berserk manga. nvm new manga to read! :D

post manga pic!

[cetamora]

Sheit, it realy looks different! hmm somebody have somethin else??

[frouella]

Okay, I know that nobody has visited this thread for a while, and that I may be asking these questions in the wrong place, but I'm new; that's my excuse and I'm stickin' to it.
So anyway, I just saw the movie last night and I have a few questions:
How the heck is Gracia in the non-alchemy world? I don't remember her dying in the series...
How is it that Hughes is an adult in the alternate world even though he died relatively recently in the series? So people are sent back and forth between the worlds, but don't necessarily start out as children? Why is that? Wouldn't people notice the personality shifts?
I don't know if anyone is even looking here anymore, but if you have any insights about this, I would really appreciate it!!

[unwaken]

i have one. I know i should probably post one involving more characters but only this is in my com now.

http://www.filehigh.com/serve/12174/120975.jpg

i'll post more pics later. :biggrinlo have fun!

[Random Havoc]

I'm so encreadibly glad I read this thread. I redownloaded eps 30 of Kenshin and BAM!

Nuff said... Best fight scene ever.

[Dradam]

That's what makes a samurai fight... supposed dramtic battle, hero almost loses, turns round kills opponent... hero is 'mortally' wounded... somehow pulls through... continues on quest...

[Thaliel]

Yami no Matsuei?

[ADMBird]

That doesn't look much like Yami no Matsuei.

[blade000]

haha exactly...but there are some good scenes once in a while. I just don't like it when they run past each other and then u see the hero gettin hurt and ur like o shit he lost while the other guy is smiling but then all of a sudden the guy stops smiling and falls over dead. hahaha

[Chobi]

it exist a "you" in both worlds....

i dont remember if its in the anime or the movie but Ed goes to that world to end up in the Ed in that worlds body, then he gets crushed by a big zeppelin and comes back to the alchemy world

[The_Supervisor]

Wouldn't have aclue, but I wanna post my own pic so someone guess this one and post an easy one so I can guess it and post my own (*inhales deeply*)

[ADMBird]

i know this most likely isn't it but is it XXXHolic?

[ChansteR]

yep yep, it was posted by me ^_^, its somewhere down in the last 2 pages or so

[Rokusaburo]

haha exactly...but there are some good scenes once in a while. I just don't like it when they run past each other and then u see the hero gettin hurt and ur like o shit he lost while the other guy is smiling but then all of a sudden the guy stops smiling and falls over dead. hahaha

How can you NOT like a fight scene like that?

Any samurai fight scene that lasts more then 1 slash of swords (1 swing) is a shamefull battle.

Ur quote, usually happens and thats it, one blow and its over and done with. And u guys were left expecting a kick ass battle.

Well in samurai fighting it is not like such.
Samurai devoted their fighting skills to be able to kill in one blow.

Have you seen the Kenshin Ova?

Kenshin @ the begging used to go through bodygaurd sin one blow, one after another in a sequence, it looks kick ass in your eyes cuzz he is stebbing one in the gut and then flying past him to stab another in the throat and opeining his skull, then flying past to another and slashing his body in half, whatnot.

But if it was one oponent against kenshin, it would just have been, one slash and the fight is over. Leaving you expecting more.

Thats how a true samurai fight is.

They devoted their skills into killing an oponent with one blow.

This is the best example I can find of the code of living for the samurai:

"One sword, One Cut and Victory.

I live without a mind, Emptyness is the blade I wield.

Dishonor to my land becomes dishonor to me.

Their is no such thing as failure, only death or success.


True peace is found when one seeks nothingness"

[Random Havoc]

Rosukaboro... I love you :)

[Chrono Detector]

I heard some people say that they are making a second series of Fullmetal Alchemist and is this true? If so, I hope it would be good, but both Al and Ed staying at "our world" would be difficult for them.

I was disappointed at the ending, but overall this movie wasn't too bad.

[Kyouka Suigetsu]

I want to see how they deal with WW2. A lot of the people they're traveling with are the ones that the Nazis targetted for extermination. Hell, by the time the second war starts up they will be middle-aged though. It would be interesting if the war begins earlier because of their presence.

[akin_t]

I heard that somewhere too! I seriously hope it's true I would do anything for a second series.

[azumi149]

yay!!! this anime's coming soon in our country!!!!!!!



and the character's name sounds like mine... lol

[unwaken]

Yami no Matsuei?

[Zanteszuken970]

to all you miazaki fans out there just tellin you guys that there is going to be a month of miazaki movies this month on cartoon network

[maximoose666]

I lack cartoon network. However, Hayao Miyazaki is a great anime movie director, and I can say to all and sundry that his work is excellent :) . I wonder if Laputa Castle in the Sky will be shown. It's the first film from Studio Ghibli, and it's excellent IMO.

[choking]

not in order...

lucy (elfen lied)
yachiru (bleach)
chi (chobits)
sakura (card captor sakura)
mugen (samurai champloo)

[hasuke]

Gutts/Guts (Berserk) - Sheer badass. Thats all that can really be said about him.

Sunabouzu (Sunabouzu) - Ah, Sunabouzu. He's a hero you love to hate, and hate to love. Totally selfish sleazeball, but somewhere deep inside that corrupted adulterous heart a good guy. Still, it's good to see a hero who isn't a goody two shoes pretty boy.

Sanosuke (Rurouni Kenshin) - An all around good guy. Defender of the weak, sticking up for whats right. And hell, even though he isn't that strong he never gave up and still threw swings for his friends, even against Shishiou when he knew he stood no chance.

Greed (Fullmetal Alchemist) - He was pretty awesome in his own right. Greedy, yes. But not to a dangerous extent. And the fact that he wasn't a villain but more like an anti-hero made him even cooler.

[hasuke]

Ya know, for people who read this thread and like realistic/accurate "samurai" manga, I'd definately reccomend Kozure Okami (also known as Lone Wolf and Cub) There's even movies of it as well. Unsure which came first, but either way, they're both pretty historically accurate if I remember correctly.

[hasuke]

Spirited Away, Mononoke Hime, Castle In The Sky and Nausicaa are all being shown.

No one has to worry about Cartoon Network cutting the movies up either. They showed Spirited Away on that fridays thing and it still showed Haku coughing up blood and everything. Besides, it's friggin Miyazaki. Cutting anything out of his movies is a sin =p

[Shinraco]

yea!! ill be watching but didn't he also made that pig anime movie where hes curs an can fly a plane? is it me or does Miyazaki use the same animated character over & over?

[Zanteszuken970]

i love his movies there cool

[Someguy1]

yea!! ill be watching but didn't he also made that pig anime movie where hes curs an can fly a plane? is it me or does Miyazaki use the same animated character over & over?

no, it's just his drawing style. the characters might sometimes look the same, but that's just how it is with Miyazaki-san.
kinda like Akira Toriyama's drawing style. the characters that he designed for the new dragon quest games resembles the appearance of the characters from dragonball z.
same with Rumiko Takahashi too. the appearances of the characters from ranma and inuyasha are kinda similiar too.

[Zanteszuken970]

not to me he draws some of his charecters diffrently

[Shinraco]

^if you say so... i think AMC or was it TMC network did a whole month of miazaki also, there commercial referred to miazaki work as "classic anime/movie". are they really that old? they sure do look like a modern anime.

[maximoose666]

Dub or sub?

Dub of Mononoke Hime was good actually :)

It had Niobe in it...

[Someguy1]

http://www.geocities.com/trell3k/heh.jpg

an easy one this time. it's obvious what story this manga is based on. but what's the FULL title of this manga?

(note: a little research will probably give you a whole bunch more manga to read)

[Zanteszuken970]

you guys going to watch them cause i am he makes some of the bst anime movies

[Alkarzar]

Anyone seen Howls moving castle , I went to the cinema to watch it since very few Animes make it so I just had to go.

Great film even if it wasn't a Miazaki

[Thaliel]

definately one of the zelda mangas...Oracle of ages maybe?

[Princess Gheyfu]

Definatly Oracle of Seasons.

[Someguy1]

close, but it's four swords. since the art style of four swords is so similiar to oracle of seasons and ages, i guess i'll give you guys points for it anyway.

[LifeToTake]

Bleach Bankai
www.bleachbankai.net
Has downloads for bleach and other misc animes.

[Someguy1]

Anyone seen Howls moving castle , I went to the cinema to watch it since very few Animes make it so I just had to go.

Great film even if it wasn't a Miazaki

i think howls moving castle is a Miyazaki film. if you go to wikipedia and search for Hayao Miyazaki, it says he's the director and screenwriter for the film. here's the link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayao_Miyazaki


^if you say so... i think AMC or was it TMC network did a whole month of miazaki also, there commercial referred to miazaki work as "classic anime/movie". are they really that old? they sure do look like a modern anime.

hmm...since a lot of his films were released in the 70's, 80's, and 90's, i guess they could be considered classics......

[Someguy1]

since there is a worst games topic, why not a worst anime or manga topic?

even though we're all big fans of anime/manga, we all probably have one anime/manga that we just dislike.

i guess mine would be Zatchbell. that puppet guy is just annoying.

[SolBeowulf19]

I don't have a worst anime, but I do have a worst Manga. The Vision of Escaflowne. It's a good anime, but a really, really, really, bad manga. It will make you want to gouge out your eyes on page 3.

[Someguy1]

I don't have a worst anime, but I do have a worst Manga. The Vision of Escaflowne. It's a good anime, but a really, really, really, bad manga. It will make you want to gouge out your eyes on page 3.

why? whats on pg 3? i'm gonna go download it!!

[SolBeowulf19]

No, I mean the second you get to page three is when you'll want to gouge out your eyes. It's boring, horrible, and nothing at all like the anime.

[M_Ghey]

For me, the worst anime is Reign. I dunno, I just hate the visual style, how the caharacters look, and the fact that the main character wears a thong into battle. (and he is a a guy)

[HallowDude]

Rahxephon is definatley the worst :LOL:
their story and planning isnt stable and the anime is extreamly diff from the anime
+its uniteresting :face82:

[ChansteR]

I heard of this, isnt this being play on toonami or cartoon network or something like that, a month of Miyazaki's works, hmmmmm this is gonna be interesting.

[Ryuukishi]

Lone Wolf and Cub is a REALLY old series. Most of the tv shows and movies are in black and white! I think the manga came out first though. Another good samurai TV show is Zatoichi, the legend of the blind masseuse (spelling?). It's neat cause Zatoichi's walking stick is actually a sword. I've only seen a couple shows, again it's old but they are making new movies as well.

[Rokusaburo]

Just Watch 7 Samurai

[Zanteszuken970]

yeah i know that

[Chobi]

to bad cartioon network shows cartoon for like 5 year olds in my country...

[Draffut]

I would be interested in catching Spirted away and Mononoke. Anyone nkow the days/times this stuff will be airing?

[Ryuukishi]

Miyazaki's films are like movie masterpieces made by Steven Spielberg: timeless and awe inspiring. I remember watching my first Miyazaki film, Nausicaa, and just loving the characters and the story.

If they are showing at least some of the movies in Japanese with subtitles then I might be interested. Then again, the Disney subs are absolutely horrible and unacceptable because they are just the english dialogue text with closed caption sound descriptions.

[Ryuukishi]

Ooooooh ya! That is another killer, literally, movie from back in the day. Seven samurai is the masterwork of Akira Kurosawa in all of its black and white samurai fighting glory. If you watch the duel scene it looks exactly like the samurai fight scenes we've been describing in this thread. Its a long movie though, 207 minutes, but so worth the time.

[Ryuukishi]

Personally i believe it's all about character's and storyline, however i have heard some disturbing rumours about Anime's and Manga's from Japan containing subliminal mind messaging. Freaky.
I don't think that its subliminal messaging as in brainwashing people but I do think that anime has unique qualities that make people want to watch. All of the reasons mentioned in this thread are the very qualities that make people want to watch more anime. It's the same reasons people watch TV shows or movies but anime is different from these because it is animated. There's a certain freedom that comes with being able to draw a character rather than trying to get someone to act a character.
Anime is also a fairly new thing to most people outside of Japan so the exotic factor helps to some extent.

[Z_Blitz]

Hmmm... Thread revival here...

You can get it over bittorrent from this site...
http://www.point-blank.cc:6969/index...arch=black_cat
OR
Download it from www.blackhaloinc.com


So... After watching Black Cat 18 I have to say this anime is getting damn good. A few weeks ago I used to download the anime and watch it because I got used to it, but now things are getting interesting enough to make me wait with anticipation for the next episode. Train, Sven, and Eve have joined a group of sweepers lead by a Chrono Number to get rid of the Apostles of Stars. In the meantime the Chronos are attacking simultaneously using the sweeper alliance as a decoy.

The fights we've seen so far are Eve Vs Leon (the wind kid), and that card master chrono number Vs the fat gravity dude (Yeah I can't remember their names :/ ).

Next episode we should be seeing Sven and Preta Ghoul fighting (yes he's back!), along with a cat fight between Echnida and Chrono Number 1 ^^ :rollseyes:

[Draffut]

Umm.... this is Cartoon Network. NOTHING is shown in japanese. and for good reason (more viewers)

[Rokusaburo]

Its the only movie that I can recomend to someone in that limbo state of liking or not liking samurai. Watch it then tell me what you think of the samurai.

Last Samurai was also a glorious masterpiece

[Kyouka Suigetsu]

The only movie I want to see out of that line up is Nausicaa. All the other ones I've seen and own. ; )

[unwaken]

i have cartoon network!! but i didn't get the book so i don't know when the movies are airing! aurgh!!

i caught howl's moving castle and spirited away. both really good movies. I especially like spirited away. very nice! :D

[Ryuukishi]

Yups, Last Samurai was a wonderful movie about the final great battles of the samurai. Such great imagery and style if only they didn't put Tom Cruise in there. He just didn't fit in that role for some reason. I need to watch it again and find out what was irking me about him in that movie.

[Ryuukishi]

Umm.... this is Cartoon Network. NOTHING is shown in japanese. and for good reason (more viewers)

Hmm, I knew there was a reason why I don't miss having CN on my cable lineup.

[K.Ogawa]

just finished watching el hazard, but can't remember the guy's name for the life of me, but the teacher who wears the adidas sweats and has superpowers when he doesn't drink or smoke... i thought he was pretty cool

[K.Ogawa]

i'll +1 on rahxephon

and i've have to say saikano because of the wreck it turned me into after i watched it, i didn't feel like doing anything two days after that (though it still is pretty good... i guess its a love/hate thing)

[K.Ogawa]

i'll second that.

when i saw the ad for it and the preview i was like "oh, here we go again, another movie of white supremacy. they want to take everything from us!" ( the Japanese)

but i watched it and it totally changed my opinion. it's a beautiful masterpiece that i would say accurately portrays what bushido and what being a samurai is all about. people tend to think we're crazy and suicidal (because of seppaku and the kamikaze), but it's more along the lines of very rigid and blind faith and loyalty, which i think is wrong, but respectable. the motivation for seppaku was not just because of dishonor, but more along the lines of "if victory was not achieved, loss=death", and to them, it was simple as that and they didn't question it.

whoo... digressed a lot yet again

[K.Ogawa]

All of the reasons mentioned in this thread are the very qualities that make people want to watch more anime.

well said...

i think you know already, but anime was main entertainment in japan because it's expensive to pay actors and sets, etc. so they just drew stuff because of the economy and stuff after the war. so it blossomed into this. for us, it's normal for adults to watch anime... i think it'll take a little more while for people in the western world to accept anime as a normal form of entertainment (ask any adult that they won't think that watching animation is really mature... then again, a lot of adults are immature. i'm see it in the army everyday. adults are kids that are just bigger, pretty much, ha)

[Chobi]

of the animes i have seen SHUFFLE! is the worst =]

[K.Ogawa]

yeah i heard that was pretty bad

[K.Ogawa]

i am also watching black cat as well along with bleach... i just finished ep12 and am onto ep13 and its pretty good, quite hard to find it for direct download though... i found it at some site about a week ago but it closed down recently... cant believe its already licensed

[cetamora]

um there r a lot. But Sanouske is pure awesomeness. Didn't like the rest of the serie though >_>

[Ichigo_the_demon_slayer]

kakashi and sasuke from naruto and then i would like to add urahara from bleach because he is just awesome. =)

[Glayce]

Byakuya-Bleach
He has still cool and emotionless style outside but inside he is just almost as normal as anyone else.

Cagalli-Gundam Seed
Her down-to-earth personality appeals to me.

Hinata-Naruto
She might be a timid little girl outside but inside, she's really strong in spirit and faith. Although her father sends her away, she doesn't seem to hold any grudges.

[Rokusaburo]

I also liked how they incorporated the Ninja in Last samurai. So it had a touch of everything really.

[Enkou Kitsune]

I must admit, all the people on that list are really powerful/cool/whatever, but I do believe Aizen Taichou could mop the floor with them all. All he'd have to do is summon Shikai and they'd never know what hit them....literally!

He's possible the most effective anime villian I've ever seen...he was the absolute last one I expected, and, now that I kinda know what he is capable of, he scares the heck out of me...

[cetamora]

but the quality on the bleach fillers r muuuuuuuuch better than the naruto wich r probably the worst I've seen.

[Chrono Detector]

Geez, if the Naruto fillers are so bad why do the storywriters even bother with it? Either find something new or take a rest until the manga catches up.

[Ryuukishi]

Geez, if the Naruto fillers are so bad why do the storywriters even bother with it? Either find something new or take a rest until the manga catches up.
I totally agree cause that's what they did with Tsubasa Chronicles right? They aren't going to air any new eps untill end of April sometime. But then again TC caught up with it's manga in record time: only 26 eps.

Anyway, I still love Naruto and as a true Naruto fan I will overlook the fillers when they pick up on the butt whooping part of the storyline.:biggrinki

[cetamora]

Same here.. but I don say I like em ><//

I think it is much better to wait than to spoil it all.

[gigaforce]

eps 18 subbed already, available to dl at http://www.mystical-soul.net/Black_Cat/

.. and i heard a rumor that the raw of eps 19 available somewhere..

[Cheryl]

I don't like the fillers! That's why I've stopped downloading the latest episodes. >.< They're so...uninteresting.

[Insight]

don't think anyones said this but Onizuka from GTO has to be one of my favorite charecters of all time as he was so funny wish he was my teacher. plus he seems pretty hard as he was the head of a whole gang but not i suppose strong for anime.

[choking]

from the list id have to say.... LOVE & PEACE... vash the stampede XD

[Munky]

Himura Kenshin! Hitten Misturyugi ryu! I really like Kenshin mon! One of the best samurai anime ever *slash*

[ChansteR]

well it doesnt matter, if you dont understand japanese, then there is no point in dling it unless you like to guess what they are saying :/

Next episode is going to be good, Sven is gonna pwn that acid molestor dude, and chrono #1 and Echnida fight, not so sure bout that, if #1 win, she will get pwned by Creed and then the real fight between Train and Creed will start

[General Cox]

animesuki just recently took it off their list, after a fansubber got sent a cease and dissist notice :s I was getting it from oyasumi, and they have subbed upto 18, but 19 is late (by just a day though) so id unno if they are still subbing it, no announcement on their website though.

and according to the website its looking like its going to turn out to be a 23 epsiode anime, with it finnihsing in early April...

[Jinchuu]

I thought it was going to be 24 episodes long, oh and 19 is out.

Ok, after watching 19, only think that I can think is that it was gay. Why? Reason 1; Creed's sword looked so friggin complicated and lame.
and 2; why the hell does everyone has to adopt the ways of Vash the Stampede? I won't kill you instead live and suffer. Yeah sweet, a'righ, sure I will? That would be my answer. Next time I post I'll make a list of anime that has the same concept. With this non-killing, bounty hunter parody.

[Kooy]

pokemon it's not even much relevent to an acutally manga series its more like a black and white color book. My friend wanted to make fun of it so he brought it into a school and started reading it while in class to piss off our art teacher because he hates pokemon XD

[Quiet Demon]

Hitsuga no Uta. The anime just plain pisses me off, the guy is total figgin wuss and an ass to his admirer.

[JefferyXie]

not 1 in particular

[chin]

the fillers were BORING... it's kinda same after a while...

[chakra25]

Witch Hunter Robin ... what waste of money and time on this anime! The story line is slow and boooooooring. The action sequence is not really even action. Is this thing even anime???

[Shinji]

For me, the worst anime is Reign. I dunno, I just hate the visual style, how the caharacters look, and the fact that the main character wears a thong into battle. (and he is a a guy)
That's actually mine too. I suggest nobody here ever watch it!

[StyleS]

Dragon Ball... The first series.

I just watched it after watching all dubs of DBZ. and I have to say that Dragon Ball is more childish than DBZ

[Draffut]

Rahxephon is definatley the worst :LOL:
their story and planning isnt stable and the anime is extreamly diff from the anime
+its uniteresting :face82:

I was following you until there. I was thinkig nof watching this, but i guess i wont anymore =)

[Draffut]

Hmm, I knew there was a reason why I don't miss having CN on my cable lineup.

Hey, it's more money for CN. Which means more anime in time. I am fine with that. I am fine with most series Dubbed or Subbed. =)

Except Slayers.... I swear everytime i hear Amelia talk i want to kill the nearest living thing.

[SolBeowulf19]

Raxephon was alright to me, however, it was kind of hard to really follow the storyline. I mean, giant robots piloted by people singing. I did only watch a little bit of it, however, but it just seemed.....weird to me.

[Chrono Detector]

pokemon,hands down.

Exactly. Pure shit, not even worth my time. Though I admit I use to be a fan of that retarded crap. :eek:

And I don't like:

Howl's Moving Castle: Sorry it didn't interest me at all, it was weird.
FLCL: Boring.... and I didn't find it funny at all.

Dragonball Z was alright, just didn't like the long storylines, which was annoying.

And I didn't like Azumanga Daioh for some reason, didn't interest me, though I did have some laughs, not not much.

[RukiaYuza]

Hello! :)
I don't have any that I would call bad. I try to only go to stories that attract me.
I have to say that I like Rahxephon. It is a rather complex story but I find the use of music and mech to be an interesting mixture.
Witch Hunter Robin is a story that take some time to build but it is neat to me too.
Zatch Bell is a little strange and may not be to many people's liking but I find it to be fun.
I would say to keep an open mind on Rahxephon and Witch Hunter Robin.

[germanboy3383]

Bleach is the poop....lol its not...
i was quite disappointed by cowboy beebop...lol...seriously didnt like it that much...rated top 3 on animenewsnetwork.com..but i thought to myslef...does this beat bleach? or trigun...no never...mebbe i need to rewatch it...?

[sto67]

naruto blows. dont get me wrong i have watched all episodes up til now and have read the manga since just before the timeskip so you cant say i dont know what i am on about.

character development is nonexistant
plot has been "rescue sasuke" for god knows how long
naruto is a one trick pony who only uses kage bunshin and rasengan.
due to lack of character development everybody grinds on your nerves.

and omg naruto is annoying.

[KenpachiBankai]

do u like this anime? i had a dvd.. damn aya and maya r sexy :P maybe someone knows where to download eps (no torrent) wanna watch it again :P


ROCK :doindadom

[Marke]

LOVE IT!, therefore i made this FC....
http://forums.bleachportal.net/showthread.php?t=9727

[chakra25]

This is a more of a love-hate anime for me...

The artwork and "fan-service" is awesome in this anime. But the story is a bit disappointing... I guess the main reason is that the anime got cancelled, so it stops in the middle.

[Kabane]

are they ever going to continue OVAs?...i mean its already been dubbed.

[germanboy3383]

i am glad to hear that...i never watched naruto but i heard some terrible things about it...werent they talking about food for a few eps?
:D

[unwaken]

what!?

the OVAs got dubbed?

hmmm... somehow i don't really have high hopes for them.

[Shinji]

It's a good anime but I don't think I would recommend it to somebody, it's not that good.

[I fail at life]

Not that good,though

http://realitylapse.com/info/tenjoutenge/splash.php

Realitylapse has all episodes on direct download so that allone is a reason to watch it.

[I fail at life]

Has anybody else seen it? I've just started watching and I'm really liking it.

Anybody know if there are any torrents or direct download sites?

[Ichigo1234]

Mine would be Pokemon

[germanboy3383]

omfg...u r also rukia...lol...

[Draffut]

Yep, my #1 favorite series to date. it's awsome.

But i wont give out torrents. Atleast not for a series i have so much love for. =)

[Shinji]

I haven't seen it but everybody says it so damn good. What's it about? Any fighting?

[Chobi]

yeah its a bit of fighting... its a damn good anime but i think the ending is not the best ^^

[Byakuya7]

Yes, it's an amazing anime. Although, the live action is much better.

[Draffut]

Yes, it's an amazing anime. Although, the live action is much better.

I saw the first 2 episodes of the live action. It was pretty good, but i wouldn't put it to much higher then the anime. But i was suprised ot hear that when the final season of the series was first aired, it was the most watched episode in Japan's history.

As for the series, fighting is very minimal. Their are a couple scene's of people gettign beat up, but no ninja/samurai super power stuff.

[Rokusaburo]

GTO is not fighting, It's comedy.It' about Eikichi Onizuka, 22 years old and very single. Highschool dropout, ex-motorcycle gang leader, hornball, 2nd degree black belt in karate turned into a teacher.

He wants to become the greatest Teacher in Japan, even if the whole world is against him. He wants to help his students with their everyday problems and teach them a leasson in life.

Every episode teaches you a valuable lesson which can be applied in the real world. It is by far the best anime I have ever seen.

[imuza]

GTO anime is awesome - watched the live action too but still a good watch

[Chrono Detector]

Watched the first episode and i liked it. Too bad I can't watch anymore. I need more money to buy the whole box set.

[Rokusaburo]

D/L it, No sense spending money on it

[Draffut]

You only download that which you are unable to buy (like Bleach or Naruto), or are unsure of. Dont go DL a perfectly great series like this.

Comming from a guy who says it's his favorite series. pfft.

And Onizuka originally becomes a teacher to hook up with High School girls, along with become the greatest teacher. threw a turn of events, he cant acomplish the first one.

[Random Havoc]

I want to thank EVERYONE who meantioned "Seven Samurai" in this thread. I loved that movie, I just finished watching it! It's like an anime in almost every single way... but it's RL characters!!!... And it's in Black and white!!!... And I freaking loved it!!!

[iLeo]

ahah both the anime and live action is awesome, well i didn't wanna dl so i just boughts the box sets xD.. the ending for the anime isn't that good. But its all laughs, great for people who likes comedy animes.

[choking]

yes GTO is an excellent anime.. Onizuka is one kick ass teacher, i wish he would be a teacher in the university i go... ^ ^

[Hits]

I'm replaying my FFXII on my PC because I just love it. I heard it will be remade for the PS3! Can't wait! People say that ff7 was the best final fantasy game made followed by ff10 and ff8. I wonder if it is true. That's what polls are for!

[Rokusaburo]

Comming from a guy who says it's his favorite series. pfft.


You practically have no say in this :)

Reasons are reasons.

Why spend 200+ American when I can D/L it for free.

And yes, GTO, full is 200$ American were I used to live.

So hey, shh.... U have no say ^^

[Rokusaburo]

Lol, good for you ^^

7 samurai is really a masterpiece, Your welcome.

[sto67]

ff12 on PC?

ff7 was fantastic because it was the first one in 3d and of the good storyline, but in terms of gameplay and storyline i would have to say FF6 made it for me. the specifics are not as memorable to me but everytime i think of ff6 it leaves me with a warm fuzzy feeling. ff7 was good but it fell short in terms of story compared to ff6

it doesnt seem like you have played ff1-6 because of your polling option -_-

and those people who say ff8 had a good story are so very wrong. it was decent at best, but not great. i have played ff4-8 and i can honestly say that the stories of ff4 and 6 are better than 8.

[Neve]

I could never play 1-6 after playing 7,8 & 9 - the fact that they were 2D were too distracting for me to be able to get involved in them. I think FFVIII is the best cos of amazing storyline, the best ending, great characters and smooth gameplay. The system for FFVIII with junctions and GFs was also the best imo.

FFVII was also very good, just not as good as VIII. FFIX - I didn't like having the characters in set roles, that kinda messed up the 'Role Playing' bit for me - I like to be able to customise my characters.

[Draffut]

There are some good sites out there with full series for somewhat cheaper. Maybe around 50-60$ I am not sure if we are allowed to advertise on the forums, so i wont put up and exact sites.

[Random Havoc]

I said 10. Only because that's the only FF I played all the way. I want to say VII but it would be injustice since I didn't even finish CD 1. My friends spoiled everything for me... and then I saw advent children... I'm sure 7 is the best but I have to ive my vote for 10.

[Ethanol]

Final fantasy Tactics

One of the few FF games I have played and beaten at least 5 times over and over. I love the character profession customization in that game, not to mention the battle system was pretty cool.

[I fail at life]

This should be in the games section,that being said,FFVII ftw. It has Sephiroth.

[Tensa Zangetsu]

Ever since 10, square enix went away from role playing and tried different styles X-2 was mission based and XI was online based where there was no decent story. FF XII has been announced to go back to its roots like 1 - 10.
Im voting 7 because overall its the best story to me and theres so many little things you can do and i like how you can do so many things like final attack and 4 x slash which you cant do in any of the other games.
Btw has anybody played 3? i own 1,2,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10-2 but never seen 3 for sale ever i know it was on the snes ages ago but i dont think it was ever released later on. Some people say 3 is the same as 6...
One last thing sorry but this not go in games section as opposed to anime/manga?

EDIT: FFXII is not being made for PS3 its being made for PS2

[Ethanol]

FF3 is the same as FF6 I think.

[Tensa Zangetsu]

yea thats what i heard lol pretty random to release a game there must be quite a few differences i imagine just better done, 6 had pretty cool story with the epsers and all

[Ethanol]

*Kefka laugh*

Yeah...6 did have a great storyline.

[Chobi]

8 and 3 (6) is the best FF games. ^^

Squall FTW !

[Kuta~]

VII hands down in my opinion.
And this needs to take a long Stroll to the Correct Section.

[General Cox]

yeah, i must admit the sword got stupid, better if they had done that differently, but i must admit im intriged what they will do for the rest of the series now that creed is gone...

Anyone think charden and that little fire girl will come back into it?

[Jinchuu]

I tottaly forgot bout Charden, now you mention it, I believe he should show up. Otherwise it would be pretty stupid *lol*

[Chobi]

im still following this anime but i must say it became lame when Saya got killed -_-

[sto67]

FF3 US is FF6 JAP. FF3 JAP was on the NES.
i cant believe that some of you cant play a 2D FF game -_-, just because it is in 2D doesnt make it bad. i started playing the 2D FFs before i played FF7 and 8 and i think they built up FF to what they are today. the summon system and job class system was made in previous FFs and just altered to fit the newer games.
if squareenix made a 2D FF today and you guys dont play it, it would be very disappointing since FF was never meant to be a graphics intensive game, its focus was always on the storyline and gameplay.

I'm replaying my FFXII on my PC because I just love it. I heard it will be remade for the PS3! Can't wait! People say that ff7 was the best final fantasy game made followed by ff10 and ff8. I wonder if it is true. That's what polls are for!
really PS3? i know it going to be relased for PS2 but i relly liked 7 and 10

Final fantasy Tactics
One of the few FF games I have played and beaten at least 5 times over and over. I love the character profession customization in that game, not to mention the battle system was pretty cool.

Quoted for Truth. No other FF holds a candle to this game.

As for the actual numbered ones... definately 7. And anyone who says 8 doesn't deserve to have an opinion.

wats wrong with 8? i thought i as better than 10, 10 just pissed me off, Tidus and his slo-mo run:cussing:

[Draffut]

wats wrong with 8?

It was created.

[Ethanol]

It was created.

LOL

I have a friend whose first FF game was 8...still says its the best one he played because of that magic system. I hated that magic system.

I got live action and anime for $110.. but $200, yeah i would just dl if it was that much lol =/

i think FF8 have one of the coolest stories of the games but the graphic DO suck if u dont play it on the PC

do you mean that for real draffut?
thats pretty sad, telling people people who like ffVIII to shut up :sad:
Anywayz i love both FFVII and FFVIII both to me express a great storyline, but FFVII gives more things to do, so i pick seven.

Ya, i may have gone overboard. But i do have a deep seated hatred for this game. And there is nothing at all i liked about it. Heck it took me a year, and 5 different times playig nto beggining over just gather the willpower to brign myself threw the Fire Cavern and that first city were you run fro mthe robot.

On try 5 i got threw it, and played till about halfway threw the game, before i stopped for sake of my own sanity.

yes, FFVII is probably the best, it's just way too overrated, but I think it deserves to be.

[I fail at life]

Hehe,FF8 was just hell,every so often there's a boss that requires about 300 tries to beat.

I remember,me and a friend of mine always race to beat it first. Well,we both got stuck at the Edea battle in the Garden Wars. Then I got through and 2 days later,he beat it aswel. Then came 2 months of fighting Adel and so forth.

In conclusion,the game was a pain. Not to mention that if you just junction 99 ultima's to Strenght and then do Lionheart,you pretty much feck up everything around you.

hey hey.. -___-

i like 8. heck it. i actually voted for 8 after reading ur posts. lol :)

it was the first rpg/ps game that i ever played so its really sentimental to me. i know its not the best in terms of gameplay that they had but look on the bright side they had ffx-2 too. like come on... changing costume? >_< heheh

anyway based on my observations. i've realised that those that love ffviii love it to the core and those that hate ffviii hate it to the core. pretty extreme i would say. :) and just making a generalization here: majority of those that hate it to the core played ffvii before hence they feel that ffviii was really bad.

and raven returns: if you're having trouble defeating your bosses then its most probably cos you haven't been levelling up enough or you chose a wrong strategy to fight them with. :p

anyway anybody who has actually played more than 1 ff game would realise that each individual gameplay makes the game unique so its not fair that you compare ffviii.

lol. its 6 in the morning and my brain has stopped working. i shall come back later to discuss this again. heheh seeya all.

[Draffut]

Or that the Draw system was the molested red-headed step child of RPG's. and never deserved to see the light of day.

[unwaken]

well it IS unique as with all other ff games.

hahahaha i know its not the best. but i feel duty bound to defend ffviii. lol >_< blame it on the love i have for it. heheh
