Prince of Tennis

[Jay3205]

Ichigo would win because Naruto has to get pummelled severely before he can use many tails. Since Ichigo uses a sword, Naruto would not get "pummelled"... he would get deeply cut up. Death would occur before Naruto gets angry enough to be a big threat.

The author of Naruto has stated that no Naruto character is faster than a bullet. Bankai Ichigo is much faster than that. Ichigo's getsuga tenshou is far stronger than Naruto's "ultimate attack". Bankai Ichigo could end the fight by stabbing Naruto before he says "kage bunshin" cause he's far too fast.

[DatLatina!]

O.yea i rememeber now yagami light is a jerk 2 her i fell bad 4 her.hes alike shut up Misa and do as ur told

[Dreams]

Light rox, I like his way of thinking. If I had a notebook, I would do the same :biggrinlo

[M_Ghey]

light is an ass with how he treats misa
Misa's fault for being too stupid. Light has a lot more important things to tend to than being nice to Misa. She would be useless without Light, btw. L or Near would have had her executed a long time ago if Light wasn't teliing her what to do.

[Jedi Taicho]

I'd recommend Trinity Blood. It's a short series but it's really good. It's got a pretty good plotline and few fillers and I think it's a good Anime

[dragoneyes001]

Death note was a great story till they decided to make it a two person rivalry it went down hill fast afterwards. the first 20 eps were intriguing yet the damage had already been done by eps25 the anime simply sucks.

theres really no comparing bleach to death note bleach has not managed to screw up the story so bad that it became seriously stupid.

its a real shame too because death note started off so well and had a ton of potential but to make a L-M-N-O-P-...etc.. factory to cover up serious plot failures makes this series a waste of time.

[Kenta]

I just watched ep 6. So they were using those slaves as diversions, but how did they get them to hold spears to pretend to be balsa in that short amount of time? at first, i thought it was the shaman's doing.

[Kenta]

Seirei no Moribito ending is good, but just a bit too soft. I had to turn on the volume to hear it.

[II Xion II]

I'd recommend 12 Kingdoms (Juuni Kokki). It was awesome beyond belief if you can start to comprehend its complexity and survive the first few episodes.

Just check out my avatar and then tell me you do not want to see it.

[wr80]

YuYu Hakusho >.> just watch it

I just watched ep 6. So they were using those slaves as diversions, but how did they get them to hold spears to pretend to be balsa in that short amount of time? at first, i thought it was the shaman's doing.

The only people who have actually seen Balsa are the hunters, and there were only 4 of them. The rest of the persuers were only given a description as foreign woman who wields a spear, so any "foreign woman" could be made out as Balsa. The slave woman holding what seemed like a spear might not be holding a spear at all.

Dude wtf how is that in oblivion? I can see you doing the face but the rest....?

[StoneTitan]

Guess i need to see more candidates ^^'

Both of those are ok, seen anime character i like better though, just don't remember any atm from 2007

[L]

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, maybe?

[Miyagi Rikku]

But even without Misa. Light could not have used Rem for his plots. \o\

:D

[Tobi]

Only me voting for Mikami? You sux.

[Miyagi Rikku]

LOL Mikami is kinda new to the eyes of the anime watcher but if they read the
manga I bet they would be a fan. :D

[DatLatina!]

so but light shouldnt b like im going 2 kill her.im like wtf

[FullMetal Rebel]

well in reality abel would win since his hair is actually bound by those white things,something long haired fighters used in ancient asia.(look at lubu in this case.if you don't know who that is look him up in wikipedia)seph can't fight with hair all the way down to his ass.

[FullMetal Rebel]

seymour has guado blood and anima,vincent has fanboys,guns,and some alter egos.do any of you honestly think vincent can take anima and Seymours final form alone?I don't think so,not without a party atleast.

[FullMetal Rebel]

Beowulf.invincible jump canceling with starfall/killerbee.and very easy to do at that

[Silhouette]

I know who Lu Bu is. And what the hell are you talking about? Are you even serious? I'm not even going to tell you to read the rules... Albel winning because his hair is shorter? Wtf is wrong with you? Why even bother reviving this thread if you're going to post nonsense? -_-"

[Momentum]

Twelve Kingdoms O.o? Its a bit slow at the start but as you progress it gets better :D

[Rukongai]

drama fantasys???? does drama also mean romance?

well try Mai Hime/Mai Otome if you haven't
there's also the currently running Kaze No Stigma
Shakugan No Shana
Angel Tails
Mahou Sensei Negima
Zero No Tsukaima (i think thats how you spell it)

i hope you like one of those

[zabuzza]

id try darker than black theres only 7 episodes out so far but its pretty good

[Felijan]

Death note was a great story till they decided to make it a two person rivalry it went down hill fast afterwards. the first 20 eps were intriguing yet the damage had already been done by eps25 the anime simply sucks.

I can't try to defend the Death Note anime, having only read the manga (I'm guessing there aren't any differences), but there's nothing wrong with Death Note's story. Even though it can sometimes be a little much to keep track of, the tact and strategy in Death Note is a lot more than I can credit to Bleach (As much as I love it, it's story is nowhere near as developed in it's over 27 volumes as Death Note was in it's entirety of 13, not to mention all of the huge screwups made in the anime).

[DatLatina!]

yea after L died it suks now i mean their screwin it up like how the hell will they find Kira if hes the new L and then they got Near and Mellow then im like screw dn now

[skyoon]

Raito means Light in Japanese

:Haha

its just the romanization of "light", his corret name would be light.

[Milan]

I call him Light.

[XV Barixn]

well in reality abel would win since his hair is actually bound by those white things,something long haired fighters used in ancient asia.(look at lubu in this case.if you don't know who that is look him up in wikipedia)seph can't fight with hair all the way down to his ass.

In reality the characters don't even EXIST.

I don't think Albel would be able to defeat Sephiroth, his attacks don't have the power to beat him.

On a side-note, I think Fayt would rape Sephiroth :o

[Caesar]

Yes it is.. the zombie that they are going to turn Luffy into is huge!!!!and i bet it is going to be very strong... but what i dont like is now there are going to be kinda boring chapters.... since there is not going to be good battles.

[XV Barixn]

Now before we get started, I'll point out some things.

Don't know Doomsday?! Search him up before posting!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomsday_%28comics%29

Don't know the Hulk?! Search him up before posting!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hulk_%28comics%29

-Doomsday
Mindless Doomsday or Sentient Doomsday?
Mindless Doomsday of course, the Doomsday with intelligence is a total pussy.

Preferably, the time when Doomsday died to Superman (and killed him) and later killing the Radiant.

-The Hulk
Which "Hulk" are we talking about?
The Savage Hulk without the Bruce Banner persona.
-----

Now, like mentioned earlier, Doomsday defeated Superman, so you'll probably already know what kind of strength Doomday possesses.

The Hulk, whose base strength is already quite strong, gets stronger as he gets more pissed off, meaning infinite strength, so he and Doomsday will probably have an immense battle of just smashing eachother while the Hulk will get further pissed off and get stronger, which will result in Doomsday possibly dying.

BUT! He comes back and Doomsday has the ability to evolve against what killed him in his prior life... so would that mean he'll be able to rape the Hulk as he did to the Radiant and various other superheroes/villains?

Because he defeated Superman, he was already quite strong, but Doomsday also died in the process, making him become even more stronger against Superman.

So, if Hulk kills Doomsday, Doomsday will become "stronger" than the Hulk right?

But as we all know... the Hulk's strength changes, depending on how pissed off he is. So does that mean while being pummeled by Doomsday, he'll get stronger to the point he can fight/defeat Doomsday again?

This is almost a pointless battle, but a fun one nonetheless.

[Yanniv]

In Romanji, it is spelled as "Light."

It is, however, pronounced as Raito.

[Fujiwara Ayumi]

i'll call him raito. It's traditional. But well, Light is also pretty.

[Kenta]

actually is that frozen monster a giant? i can't really tell from his decayed corpse but judging from its size, it is. unless they decide to start bringing in beasts into the series.

[Caesar]

Looks like it... I just hope this arc ends quickly..

[sirhchris]

heya, can someonw please tell me where I can download the serie "Love Hina" from episode 1 ? :)

thanks from sirhc ^^

(wow, don't know how I managed to post this in the one piece forum!:S , well, just move it if possible then..^^)

[Kenta]

Two more candidates:

Rita from Welber no Monogatari
Nadie from El Cazador de la Bruja

[dragoneyes001]

heres a link to torrents the entire series 1-25 is still active with 10 seeders and some peers but its a big file. 5.5 gig

http://www.animeyume.org/series.php?id=466&show=torrents

[sirhchris]

oh crap, thats a big file in deed, but, I'll try download anyways! ;D

EDIT: Thanks alot! ;D

EDIT 2: damn, 3 KB/s and 5,6 gig too go :'(

[dragoneyes001]

ya don't expect it to take less than a day+ to download

[Silhouette]

Yes, this battle is pointless.

Hulk Smash.
Doomsday dies.
Doomsday revives.
Hulk gets pwned.
Hulk gets pissed.
Hulk smash.
Doomsday dies.
Doomsday revives.
Hulk gets pwned.
Hulk gets pissed.
Hulk smash.
Doomsday dies.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

These two ridiculous, pointless characters whipped out by the ridiculously power-obsessed minds of comic creators will never stay down, and thus the battle will go on for all eternity.

UNLESS. There could be a gap. It all depends on if Doomsday becomes significantly stronger than the Hulk for a few moments... just long enough to bash his skull in and mash his brain. That would kill the Hulk, wouldn't it? Not having a brain? If not, then F the Hulk, F his creators, and stop using him in this section...

[T_Ichigo]

Pointless, I guess Zansatsu got it there.

[.Rik-uh-shey]

doomsday would destroy the Hulk. i mean he freaking killed superman.

[Jay3205]

Seeing as Doomsday can't die, this kinda makes it one sided. He will eventually evolve the equivalent of an "insta-win-against-Hulk" gene and win.

[Kizna Towryk]

I read about that! I can't wait to see how Funi does.

[Kizna Towryk]

I'm most likely going to be getting some imported boxsets at an anime con I'm going to in July, so... meh...

[Dragor84]

i want to ask if somebody knows the titel and / or interprete of the song, which is played at the end of urotsukidoji (i mean that piano song)

[Nood]

Totally no idea but I can give youa link that might help: gendou.com
Free reg, and anime unlimited OST works.

[jack_zenith]

Ishida Final Form vs. the current manga Sasuke. Who do you think will win?

[XV Barixn]

Is there a time limit for Ishida's final form? Because if there is, Sasuke will win.

With the sharingan on, he'll never be touched, and once the time in final form is over, Ishida's dead.

No time limit? Hmm, seems like a draw, because Ishida will use his flash walk the get away from Sasuke whenever necessary, and Sasuke will have his sharingan on and won't be hit by Ishida's attacks.

[Chrono Detector]

L of course. Death Note isn't the same without him.

[Black_Rain]

Yagami Light The best for me but i like them all ^__^ and iam sad because L died *__*

[Hans-sama]

We know that your skills get transferred to the new body the same time your soul does. Looking at Luffy, do you think devil fruit powers can get transferred this way?

[Seff vi Britannia]

Even with the sharingan, Ishida normal form is way too fast for sasuke. Final form is overkill. Naruto and Bleach are worlds apart in terms of power. To our knowledge, Sasuke's strongest attack is the chidori, whereas final form Ishida ripped a bankai in half.

[Dragor84]

thx for the link :)
but unfortunally the song im looking for isnt on that page :(

[Jay3205]

Ishida is far too fast for Sasuke. Sharingan isn't going to help if his opponent doesn't use chakra and doesn't use physical attacks and posseses no moves that can be copied. Sasuke will never get close enough to do damage, so Ishida wins this easily.

[Black_Rain]

Yagami light Voice is *___* and L Voice [No Comment] loooolz

The japanese Version is the best ^__^

[Black_Rain]

looolz .... if Yagami Light know this he will kill himself by Death note lool

[StoneTitan]

Seen better, but for an anime of 2007 i'd say "Juliet" from Romeo x Juliet would be my pick for now.

[jack_zenith]

Does Sasuke have the Mangekyou yet? Cause if he does, then it's gonna be a tough match for Ishida.

[DatLatina!]

yup L's good but rip L

[Donut]

L Ftmfw!

[Undying]

Old debate... OLD. Ishida wins. Sharingan can't predict arrow movements (Sharingan reads the muscles and Ishida's arrows are not made of muscle). Mangekyo won't help Sasuke much because Ishida won't ever get close enough to make eye contact. Sasuke doesn't have Msharingan, for that matter. In Ishida's final form mode, it's even more overkill. Sasuke will try to use his Jutsus while Ishida blasts him apart with a single arrow.

[ninjabot]

Also, we forget that once Doomsday dies one way, he becomes immune to it. He's already been killed by brute force before by Superman, so Hulk couldn't kill him via physical strength to begin with. Maybe through gamma radiation poisioning lol.

Brain damage beating the Hulk? I dunno...Sabretooth has healing factor, and one of Wolverines claws punctured his brain and maid him a retard for over a year...then again Hulks healing factor is like 100 times stronger.

[Silhouette]

Yeah, but is the regeneration triggered by thought(or instinct, which is also somewhat thought based), or does it simply happen automatically. Because if its by thought/instinct, then the mind wouldn't be around to tell the body to heal.

And Sabretooth was already retarded. He must be using the brain puncture thing as an excuse. >: /

[Jay3205]

Well, Hulk can die and eventually get tired. Doomsday can't (seemingly) permanently die, so he'll win eventually.

[db]

Is it an ED sequence like most animes or an insert song played at the end of the OVA? I cant find info for such an ED.

[wr80]

YuYu Hakusho, Love Hina, Vandread, Inuyasha. For Romance Love Hina is the best, Action YuYu is the best, for both Vandread/Inuyasha are pretty equal. All the animes are at least 30 episodes long ( I think love hina is 26-27 and hina again is 3)

[Twinky]

any one have linnks, i know its all the way to 32 already but i only got to 21, and youtube deleted them which sux balls :lol

[TheUnlimited]

That's a good question....

I'm wondering if Luffy's shadow is gonna be obedient, though.

[Shezmu]

http://www.veoh.com/

like youtube but better (imo) and they never delete it =)

[Fujiwara Ayumi]

L is the best. I mean, he's more intelligent than Raito. so i would really prefer L.

[salkcin89]

It's hard to say but I don't think that devil fruit power can be transfered

[Kenta]

I guess because Heroic Age isn't that popular, I've overlooked it. But, Deianeira is pretty hot.

wont hold my breath till I see it.

its pretty much impossible to be as bad 4kids but it can still be messed up.

[Maverickhfsb]

Isnt one piece on the kids part of AS or something? Yea, 4kids messes everything up.

[Miyagi Rikku]

^ roflcopter XD

well I guess Seymour wins <3 XD

[jack_zenith]

Which do you prefer? Personally, I enjoy the Japanese Anime, because the action is so much better than in the American Comics. But I believe that the characters and character development in American Comics are far better than any I've ever seen in a Japanese one before.

[EndlessSky]

I like the japanese better, I just don't like the silly costumes and styles of american comics, prefer the japanese style and characters.

There are Japanese anime/manga with extremely good story and character development some of the best ive seen but you got to know what to look for and read/watch because there is alot medicore stuff out there.

[chipp zanuff]

The only thing that like in the anime is the drawing and the characters but I like the storyline in the comics, it's better than the animes's stories which important to me so much, but French cartoons are so great in story line.

[Nood]

American...sigh...

[Terra]

I'm gonna go with the majority here and say L.

[Gettles]

Watchmen is better than just about any manga ever written.

[sirhchris]

japan manga ! <33

[Kenta]

http://www.bsmanga.com/2007/05/26/one-piece-457/

That damned perverted lion is at it again, will he ever stop?

[dairymilk]

try yamato nadeshiko. the manga is good too! its about four hansome boys trying to turn a girl into a lady. Verry funny.

[dairymilk]

these are two very different styles of drawings and i don't think you can properly compare the two in the same class. i like them both equally but i have to say that i'm more addicted to anime than i am to american cartoons. don't get me wrong x-men, spyderman and TMNT pawns, storyline and character development are on par with anime. Its just with anime i see it as a moving artwork.

[salkcin89]

I like japanese anime more

[Night Prowler]

Light is my favourite, I always support the bad guys in films (well unless its like a WW2 film :p) and this guy is an awsome bad guy.

And Light is more intelligent than L, he out smarted him with the plan about losing the Notebook and then Retriving it again.

Anyway why isn't Ryuk not in the poll?

[reaverofsouls05]

i dont think he really outsmarted him Light knew more about the notebook than L did so he had a huge advantage over him so there really was no way he could lose

[Night Prowler]

True, I now think they were even in intelligence. Although L uses things like the way he sits to make him think quicker where as Light doesn't.

[EndlessSky]

Like I said, there are manga out there with very great storylines, you just got to know which ones to read, much better story than comics and even some classic novels/movies.

[lordsmish]

Did you cry at the end of the movie.
for the last 20 mins of the film my eyes just started flooding for me it was a more emotional end for L then the anime or manga.The bit with lights family at the end just made it worse.
I dont cry at many things and it came as a suprise to me.

(hmm my failure to spell amazes me)

[L]

I was actually just disappointed at the movies and their endings and forgot about them.

[Icestorm]

first of all it would be manga not anime if your going to compare.. and then I would have to say manga.. *shrugs* I enjoy the drawing style more.

[jack_zenith]

Like I said, there are manga out there with very great storylines, you just got to know which ones to read, much better story than comics and even some classic novels/movies.


Which ones?

[Icestorm]

Death Note, Code Geass... suppose its what your into..

[Angel_shikigami]

Japanese anime/manga FTW

American only has crappy kids stuff that basicly the same thing happens every time. Manga is more like a story anyway and is more for teens and adults.

[Kesumi]

Try watching D.Gray-Man

=O

If you like Fate/stay night id recommend Shakugan no Shana and Mai HiME

here's ep 7. http://www.anime-kraze.org/torrent/%5BA-Kraze%5D_Seirei_no_Moribito_-_07_%5BAE3B82F8%5D.mkv.torrent

a slow episode, this series is really full of ups and downs.

[jack_zenith]

Well, the same goes for comics. There are some very deep American comics, you just have to find it. Btw Angel, you've probably never read the Kiling Joke. Thats a lot darker than most of the Japanese mangas I've ever read.

[Bak3d on H1gh]

Was a good character development episode, couple of good laughs to.
This anime is definatly the best one of this season

[Evanesque]

By American comics, do you mean cartoons? Because Anime is a live action media while comics are nothing but paper-based action.

If you want to compare the right question would be either - American Comics or Japanese Manga.

Or this section-wise: American Cartoons or Japanese Anime.

Anyways to the topic, I prefer Japanese Anime and Manga because they're more interesting and are based on reality, morals and the like

[Neku]

I don't think a sitting position makes someone think quicker... i think thats just a preference.

But i just think L was cool, in the way that he allways outsmarted him, untill Rem used her Notebook to finish the job.

[Night Prowler]

He said "If I don't sit like that then 40% of my thinking ability goes down" in one of the eps. Its when he came out to Light after the exam, when there gonna go play tennis if I remember correctly.

[diamondedge]

I never understood what is it so good on L that he is SO popular. YAGAMI RAITO ALL THE WAY!

[Night Prowler]

Yea im with you on that one Diamondedge.

[Neku]

He said "If I don't sit like that then 40% of my thinking ability goes down" in one of the eps. Its when he came out to Light after the exam, when there gonna go play tennis if I remember correctly.
Exactly, its a preference which helps him, it doesnt give him more brain power or anything, it just allows him to think straighter.

[hitsugaya07]

I would chose Japanese Anime... Japanese anime appeals to me more than American comics does...
the only American cartoons that is in action that appeals to me is X-Men Evolution (is that right?)... the one with Nightcrawler and the other kids...

[SunnyPie♥]

I didn't like the eraser thing -_-;;.

[Sharpie_x]

It was a creative story to go with the original Death Note. I really like it :) Except if Light had the eraser everything would have a total twist.

[yespossible]

Whao, I just started to watch the movie found at http://www.crunchyroll.com/showmedia?id=32649 it was off the chart!, *Crys* miss all that time not watching the anmation : (. *Streaming Death Note, anime style*

[Luna_Sombra]

We'll all watch it, only because it'll be killing us to hear the other voices :P. In my opinion, people only say the English dubs suck because they are so used to listening to the originals. Don't kill me for saying this, but I didn't really like the original voices, I truly don't know why though...

[SunnyPie♥]

Woah! Thank you for the link~!

=D Yay~

[Gettles]

I would chose Japanese Anime... Japanese anime appeals to me more than American comics does...

Yeah that was evolution, wasn't bad, but I think the DCAU (Batman, Superman, Batman Beyond, Justice League, Justice League Unlimited) was as a whole better.

[Emperor Knives]

L's really popular because he's unique. He has more charisma than Light (the way I see it). And if it wasn't for Rem, Light and Misa would be dead by now. L was up against a Shinigami. Light had a huge advantage. As for Ryuk, like I said in one of my previous posts I forgot to add him when I was making this poll.

[DatLatina!]

yea u r true

[Torikki-Koneko]

I always known it to be Light but thats because I got the manga. It was my friends that told me about Raito. So I use either one.

[Torikki-Koneko]

I would say my favorite would be Ryuk. He just cool and eats apples all day. Watching Raito/ Light make plans and kill people.

[shaberry]

Just wondering if anyone on this forum is attending Anime Expo in Long Beach...and if you are...are you cosplaying?

[II Xion II]

Blood+ is absolutely amazing, and I would recommend you watch it all the way to episode 50 in a matter of days. I have never seen an anime take such risks and tear apart my every hope and dream as Blood+ did. It starts out a little slow, but the middle and near-end of the series are unbelievably good and constantly tug at your heart-strings. You have to only watch it subbed as well. The characters one can grow to love and the plot is always changing and the characters always evolving. The symbolism is widespread and some are very hard to pickup, but when they are picked up, they foreshadow the very dark and daring plot ahead. If you watch Blood+ be prepared for one hell of a punch in the gut, as this anime is very dark and hope is hard to find in the labyrinth of its story. For its length is exceptionally well-done and it is currently my favorite series ever, and I have watched a lot of anime over the years.

There is only one anime that has ever captured my attention like Blood+, and that is Full Metal Alchemist. Which is better, well that is a hard choice. But since I saw Blood+ recently and was more affected by it, I would have to say Blood+. Although I wouldn't have said that a year ago.

[Night Prowler]

Negative X negative = Positive?
I think nnot

Mathmatically negative x negative = positive

Anyway im a maybe, i think its right to get rid of harsh criminals (i.e. rapists and murdereds) from society but killing them is too much.

Although you can't really argue with results.

[Miss M]

Zero no Tsukaima... :3
it pwns... ^.^

Popotan = drama... :3
I cried... ;_;

[Cassie]

I wish I were going, the Japanese Haruhi cast will be performing. That should be a huge hit.

[ghey b]

hmm when is it..?

im moving to L.A. early July.

thats close riiiight ?

[M_Ghey]

this is my way of thinking: the harshest punishment for the harshest crime. Harshest crime is murder, harshest punishment is death.
I don't personally think that crimes less severe than direct/indirect murder should be punisheable by death.

[shaberry]

stupidman007: oh really? they are? I didn't know that... ^_^;;; I'll have to check up on that then.

J.B. Killa: oh dood...it's from June 29-July 2...hopefully you can make it ^.^

[Fujiwara Ayumi]

well i know he's doing his best just to stop criminals to get bigger in population by killing them using the death note, but well i think it's not that right to just kill the criminals especially when they don't really deserve to die. I mean, some criminals do what they do just to have a living or maybe other things that can do good for them, but killing them is not the answer they can always change their ways. And i remember in the movie, when Misa was Kira, she just kill the people who gets in her way even though that person is not a criminal all in all. I mean, i think it's just for revenge and well i really dunno now. maybe that's all i can say. so i'm not really sure if i support Kira at all.

[Miyagi Rikku]

hmm. I will be trying and if I can I m ight be cosplaying as SOMEONE.

[jack_zenith]

Anybody?

[M_Ghey]

The dub is very good, but i'll still take the japanese voice acting over english any day.

[SunnyPie♥]

*silence*

XDD

[Emperor Knives]

Nobody seems to like Near. He's the only guy who doesn't have a vote yet.

[shaberry]

Miyagi: someone...lol...nice...well...post who you're going as if you know before expo comes around...that way I can wave at you and say hi if I see you ^.^

[Miyagi Rikku]

oh my pics are in the PyP thread :P and yeah.... im not sure yet but I am confident
that I can pull it off >;D

[shaberry]

PyP thread? *blinks* what and where is that? o.O

[Miyagi Rikku]

Post your pics thread :D

[Asuka]

Heck yea, maybe we should post a pics so if we see one another we can wave frantically! *waves frantically now.*

[Arei]

I liked that L got the best of Kira at the end, that was the way it should've been :3 Though I hated that L wrote his name down... that was awful >.<

[Miyagi Rikku]

omg yes thats a briliant plan XD and we would be taking pics together and post it here!

:D hurrayz

[Asuka]

YAY! Plans to meet with other CBers is cool!

[Miyagi Rikku]

that would be awesome at least this motivates me to come now @__@

[Goddessfreya]

Im not so sure that him being that devilish is a good sign

[Goddessfreya]

Yeah in japanese they use R for L...so it's the same actually

[Goddessfreya]

L! and I missed him so much!

[Goddessfreya]

does crucnhyroll update the epi??? i watched it in curnchy roll up to 32 but still no 33

[FullMetal Rebel]

I'll never watch it if the voice acting is as bad as it is in Bleach.Totaly butchered renji's voice having him sounding like a horseback redneck and Mayuri sounding like an assclown.Dubs don't always suck if the voice acting is good like in fullmetal or Eureka.the ones in Bleach don't even take their fucking job serious.haven't heard Tousen yet hopefully he don't sound like a dumbass gangsta

[Kalashnikov]

Oh that is sooo wrong....

The voice doesnt fit Light AT ALL!!

[db]

I already missed... what 3-4? years worth of AX. I cannot miss it again this year!

[Undying]

Unfrotunately, nobody beats Kappei Yamaguchi (L) at dubbing. The man is God (he is also Inuyasha (Inuyasha) and Usopp (One Piece), if you don't know) when it comes to being a seiyuu.

So no matter what they do with L, they can't be any better. And if L's voice sux, the entire series sux...

[Tobi]

Thats L's scrambled voice, not his regular voice.

You hear L's normal voice near the end when Light and L say "I am justice" "Kill me, if you can" or something.

[Tobi]

does crucnhyroll update the epi??? i watched it in curnchy roll up to 32 but still no 33

33 hasn't been released yet, thats why.

[Goddessfreya]

Seeing near makes me remember my favorite L...so L too me...Mello is a bit emotional and very very cranky...I do like his humour and common sense...I voted Near.

[II Xion II]

Near FTW. Near plays with his hair and doesn't even care about all the fear associated with Kir..........a.

Plus, he's not as cranky as Mello or as emo as him. How does some kid straight out of a "special" orphanage get into a position of power with the Yakuza anyway?

[FullMetal Rebel]

I'm gonna laugh when i hear Near if it gets that far

[Arei]

33 will be released today, raws and stuff will HOPEFULLY be up tonight sometime (tired of waiting till the early AM, but today is my last exam day then im freeee)

[jack_zenith]

No one? I thought that that the voice of edward in the dub was far superior to the one in the japanese one.

[Tobi]

Congratulations =D

I thought Death Note was aired on Wednesdays o.O

[jemz09]

I do! Since I got used to the english voices of Ed and the others XD

[Miyagi Rikku]

I kinda like english *oh noes the world must be crumbling* I kinda just do as well.
Its kinda ok. More of a so-so

[shaberry]

Post your pics thread :D

ohhhhh...there...kk

ohhh...so people are coming! yay! I'm excited! I heard that there's a bleach meet on saturday...I think...I forget right now...it was posted on one of AX's cosplay meet threads...but there was wayyyy too many posts that I got so confused by it all...but yeah...let's go see if we can go organize a CB meet ^-^ I'll be going as Matsumoto *hopes and prays that I do the costume justice* Man does that woman have some boobies! *looks down and gives a sad sigh*

[Miyagi Rikku]

AHH THIS IS PURE JUSTICE! Cb people coming so now I am really motivated to go
so I will try my best to be there... so what day should we all meet up? @_@

Well, also I hope I get my costume... wait I think its kinda impossible shoot. T_T

[Delaguardia]

I thought they did a good job on the english FMA. So ya I like the english one better.

[shaberry]

Hmmm..well supposedly...all the meets are on saturday...I think...this will be my first time actually cosplaying as an actual anime character ^_^;;; so I'm not quite familiar with the meets and all yet...so yeah...and it seems that friday would be too busy since it's the first day...soooo...iono *blink* however...I am good with any day =)

So lets make a list yes? I'd like to know who's going and how many of us will be there for expo. =) For sure I know that Sky from 3rd Division is going...he/she (sorry...I'm new...I don't know yet) is a staff member.

Miyagi: OMG...wow girl...you are just too cute! *gives you an elmyra huggle* yeahh...I know...it's all late...I just got the chance to sift through all the pics in the thread to find you ^_^;;;

[Miyagi Rikku]

Well.... If I manage to buy the clothes by tomorrow or so.. sh-- no.... it wont make it.... sigh... I guess Ill go as a plain person. XD ehjeeh and thanks <3 :D

[shaberry]

Oh reallie? Even if you buy your outfit...it won't make it in time for expo? Nooo wayyyy >.<;;; I just ordered mine on saturday...and I still have to order the wig today...lol...yeah... I know...I'm bad >.<;;; But I think cosplaymagic.com is really good with shipping...they have most of their outfits ready to ship...from what I read from their FAQ page...and it takes 4-7 business days to ship (I think)...so yeah...not to mention...the shipping is free for people in the US =) you might wanna go check out the site ^.^ You have like...a month...yeah...I know...its really cutting it for time...but hey...if you can get the outfit before the deadline...why not?! =)

[Miyagi Rikku]

well mine is like 5-15 business day trip so yeah and its like what 80+ dollars
in total its not that I cant afford it but... dang >.>

[shaberry]

lol...lucky...$80+ My outfit was $90...then for the wig...it's like $60+...then for the sword...it's like...$30+ *sigh* Cosplaying really drains your pockets. Which reminds me...I'm not quite sure what Matsumoto's necklace looks like...is it like that ball type chain? Or is it a smooth chain with the circle? My goodness did I procrastinate this year for cosplaying *sigh* ;_; OMG...and I just realized that there's still some more expenses for me...for the minor details..ahhhh... @_@;;;

[Miyagi Rikku]

oh forgot the wig too and the accessory T__T can you guess who I am going as?
AH SHOOT and I still have to buy the sandals individually T__T NOOOO *looks at wallet*

[shaberry]

Miyagi...I'm telling you...cosplaymagic.com...the whole entire outfit comes with everything that you'll need for your character..sans the wig and the sword...but yeah...just look it up. ^.^ My guess is you're either going as Soi Fon or Hinamori-chan. You look like the type to fit those characters ^-^

[Miyagi Rikku]

ohh thaanks *was looking at dumb ebay cause this guy has my costume* XD

ahhaaha well I was gonna go as Momo-chan but @__@ I might not XD cause I wouldneed the sword too T_T and ill have to be all like "Aizen Taichou" XD

edit: they they dont have my costume T___T

[shaberry]

oh realliee? awwww...*pouts* gosh...this is gonna sound so noobish...but my brain isn't working...so forgive me...but who's momo-chan? i'm guessing it's hinamori from what you said after...but I just wanna make sure. *sheepish blush*

[Miyagi Rikku]

hinamori chan is momo chan XD but they dont have my costume omg how can they not
have it DX

[shaberry]

omg Miyagi... *sweatdrops* -.-;;; They do have it hun...lol...I just think you're a bit flustered and rushed...to see it...lol...here you go

http://cosplaymagic.com/hinamorimomo1.html

However...it seems that they don't have the hairpiece...*sigh* But I think that that'll be easy to obtain ^-^

Mwa hahaha...if you get the costume...you'll have to be walking around expo either mumbling or screaming out "Aizen-taichou!!!"...LOL (actually with you doing it...it looks quite endearing ^.^)

[Miyagi Rikku]

no im not going as momochan T__T im not going as momo chan D:

[shaberry]

ohhhh...wait...*soooo confused* what? there's a difference? who's who? omg... @_@;;;

[Miyagi Rikku]

rofl here I shall reveal who...

nyahh secret costume!

[L]

FMA is one of animes out there that I prefer dub over the original.

[shaberry]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...wow...*eyes sparkle* PRETTIEE!!! but...noooooooooooooooo!!! it's kinda a spoiler for me...even though that outfit is shown in the latest opening...but stilllll!!!...lol...it's all good though...I asked for it...^-^ wow Miyagi...that would look sooo great on you!

[Miyagi Rikku]

but it might be next years costume...

Kalashnikov said id look cuter in Hinamori Momo outfit. T__T

[shaberry]

You'd look awesome in either one ^-^ Ahhh...we should have a photo shoot! =)

[Undying]

Very emotional - for me anyway. I liked the ending a lot, left with a serious desire for more. Sadly, I doubt there'd be more with the same level of awesomness as both main characters are simply, well, dead.

[Miyagi Rikku]

aahah thanks XD i hope i make it XD i hope work dont get in the way :D

[Asuka]

@Shaberry: Me a girl.

And no cosplaying for me this year, I'll do it next year. But I will be wearing this pretty red vest with the words Access Control or AX Staff printed on the back. I'm gonna find a picture of myself and post it.

@Miyagi: Dude that costume is awesome, I didn't even think to go as one of those guys.

[Miyagi Rikku]

XD ahaha XD shh shh its my major acclaimed secret costume XD well not really but yeah.

<3 I wanted to volunteer for the AX but work T__T

[Asuka]

It's so much better on staff. You don't have to wait in line to events, sure you have to watch them but my squad leader put us in groups of four and let the others 'patrole exibit hall', which better much means go have fun for a bit, and last year they let us go into exibit hall 10 mins before it opened. Which meant, no lines. Plus the hotel is free and they provide 3 meals a day. You don't get paid, but that's a lot of plus sides.

And all the people are really cool to work with.

Oh, yea, my pic. I'm the one in the red shirt.

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q27/sky_phantom/vinnenme.jpg

[Miyagi Rikku]

im not sure if i can handle the staff T_T im like a noob if ever they make me a staff XD

[Asuka]

They train you and I did it my first time last year, and that was my second time going to AX.

[Miyagi Rikku]

oh coolies yeah I read. @__@ well. I will try staffing if I can. Work is the main reason
that might not let me. T_T

[SunnyPie♥]

:eek13:

Death Note and Bleach are completely different!

[jack_zenith]

Cool, Im not alone here......

[Samanosuke]

Actually, they couldn't me more different :D

[II Xion II]

The dub is excellent, but I liked the sub better for one reason...Envy's VA was much better in the sub IMO. An awesome character like Envy cannot be given an old lady's voice, especially when Envy is a dude.

To be fair though, I started out with the dub and the watched the sub completely. So the dub lead me to find the sub I guess.

A great anime series. One of the top three IMO.

[Samanosuke]

Well the FMA dub is actually the first dub, where I was thinking "Hey, this is not so bad actually". It's still WAY inferior to the japanese version, and I think there'll never be a dub, I prefer to the original.

[Esca]

I prefer the dub.

[M_Ghey]

Well the FMA dub is actually the first dub, where I was thinking "Hey, this is not so bad actually". It's still WAY inferior to the japanese version, and I think there'll never be a dub, I prefer to the original.
Thanks you! I agree completely.

There are few animes with great dubs imo. Some good ones are: FMA, Berserk, Trigun, Hellsing. I haven't seen any other good ones. Btw, Hellsing is the only anime in which i prefer the dub, the voice actors are amazing.

[silverwolf801]

Look this is how it goes for me. I don't go looking for subbed anime I looked for dubbed but if the anime I am watching is subbed then I can't watch it dubbed becaus eit will just mess up the voices for me. And the same thing does for dubbed.

[jack_zenith]

I absolutely hated Pride's voice in the Jap one. It didn't match him. I thought the dub one was far superior.

[Alerane]

I do cause I saw a few english episodes first and it stuck. I definately like Ed's english voice.

[shaberry]

ohhhhhh...yay...sky...I'm going to look for youuuuuu! *grins* And thanks for letting me know you're a girl ^_^;;; I'm so happy that I don't have to confuse your gender anymore ^.^ But...Miyagi...you're going to expo though right? Even if you aren't cosplaying? *crosses fingers*

[Livius]

I like Near because he reminds me or me. I love puzzles and games and well im kinda like him mentally.

[Miyagi Rikku]

hmm I have been thinking about it and i might just be able to pull off going there
even without cosplaying. :D

[shaberry]

Yay! Well if you do go Miyagi...I'll be looking for you too!

[Miyagi Rikku]

XD hahah yeah, but yeah I might just pull the costume too. >__< Lets hope for the
best i really wanna cosplay.

[shaberry]

yes yes ^-^ *hopes with Miyagi* Oh man...dood...I just ordered all of the main stuff for my cosplay...my goodness...my pockets are totally empty ;_; But...it's ok...I'll be Matsumoto for 4 days...so it all pays off.

[Fujiwara Ayumi]

in my opinion, there is really a big difference between them, i mean, although they have the same kind of characters (talking about the shinigami) the story is far from bleach because there are a lot of killings and a little violence in the Death Note story and in bleach it is more laid back than Death Note, but well, they are good manga/anime series though. I love their stories.

[James Cizuz]

Your going to be crying a lot soon if you found ending to Crap Note movie sad.

[James Cizuz]

Well creators said something about basing Mikimi off the orginal pilot chapter kid.

[Fujiwara Ayumi]

well honestly, i really hate that L wrote his own name in the death note too. When L died, it made me cry a little too, it's really emotional and the fact that he's embracing the picture of the old man who's always with him, made me more sad about it. But, i liked how L died in the movie, it's as if he's just having a nice long sleep.

[Arei]

Your going to be crying a lot soon if you found ending to Crap Note movie sad.
I'm sure loads are gonna cry when the anime is through... xDD


Melllooooooooooooo TTOTT

[James Cizuz]

Mello? Hes a fag, who cares if he bites the bullet lol.

[Miyagi Rikku]

T_T aww man I want my costume too just shh who it is XD only you and sky knows and
my dear beloved Ali.

[Asuka]

Don't worry, your secret is safe with me!

[Miyagi Rikku]

hurray T_T but yeah my dads bday is June 30th so I might go like...
Lets go to Cali for his bday and I go wander off :D well they can go to my
grandmama's house :D yeee

[Evanesque]

I just recently downloaded the movie and have watched the first hour (I don't know it took me ages to find the subbed version)

I think what Light is doing is dumb, I mean killing the FBI agents and taking a lot of time just to save himself isn't really justice now is it?

I felt bad for that FBI agent Raye =/

Light's killing more innocent people than helping them

Don't mind me, I'm just blabbing, I've only watched the first hour of the movie yesterday so I still don't know what's going to happen at the end X3

[Undying]

Your going to be crying a lot soon if you found ending to Crap Note movie sad.
L's already dead, so meh, no point in crying or whatever :). Yes, L's my favorite. One and only.

[Icestorm]

even though I dont like FMA to begin with.. I always go with the sub. The only occasion where I think the dub was excellent is.. GTO. Great dubbing. *shrugs* I always see the jap as the way its meant to be.. I find the dubs too foreign and never suit regardless.

[Lex]

Japanese hands down!

[Arei]

Mello? Hes a fag, who cares if he bites the bullet lol.

:sad YouAreTheFag,I<3Mello!!!!!ThoughItsAnExtremelyStupidMove,HeIsPrettySelflessThereAtTheEnd

[Arei]

NoItsAiredOnTuesdays,ButItsEarlyTuesdayForUsSoItIsntTillOurEvening/NightThatTheRawsAreUpAndOut

GahIWantThisFuckingStormToQuitSoICanGoGetANewKeyboard

XPP

[Donut]

LOL!

Death Note: The Last Name is probably the worst movie I've seen. It's really superlame. The actors blow, the story is all fucking jacked up, Misa is ugly (and not even blonde!) and L dies the gayest way, ever.

That movie is trash.

[MezzoDragon]

I wonder what will happen when The Fool of Akatsuki meets The Fool of Konoha. My bet is on Tobi running away the first chance he gets, and Naruto shouting, "Wait!" before giving chase. It will be the funniest and lamest battle in the entire Naruto series.

Of course, that is just a stupid prediction.

[Undying]

Tobi will win. He will accidentaly do the "small penis" quote in an attempt to join the Akatsuki again and Naruto will fall over crying over another dude uncovering his gheyness to him.

[Tobi]

Why is your keyboard broken??

[SunnyPie♥]

Did the spacebar broke?

XD

[Shezmu]

L ftw! he is by far my favourite Death Note character, and actually my favourite character of all time XD
He is just so unique, so weird. noone can replace him.
he is super intelligent and i've seen some hilarious scenes with him.
The rest of the DN characters don't have such a strong personality.

[Shezmu]

Actually i dislike em both..
but if i have to choose one i'll pick mello, cuz i hate him less then near, Near is just a wannabe L.

[Arei]

Trashier then Teletubbies?

[Arei]

Why is Near winning if hardly anyone likes him?

[Samanosuke]

Mello by far, Near kinda annoys me

[shaberry]

Sweet! Omg guys...I just ordered my outfit two days ago and I just got it today! OMG...talk about super fast shipping ^.^ Woo hoo! AND I got my swords today too...and I just ordered it two days ago also. Man...this is super awesome! *sigh* But going back to the original topic...I wish more people would reply to this thread >.<;;; It seems like not that many people from CB are planning to go to expo *pout* Ahhhh...but it'll be worth it if I get to see Miyagi in her totally kawaii cosplay outfit ^.^

I don't really know how long they stayed on the air but they date back to the late 70's I know. I was watching them.:toocool:
wow, dude, my first official post

[Arei]

There was a can of Sprite left on my desk ,my mom came in here this morning and my puppy got in (big puppy now o.o) and he decided to check my desk for food and he knocked over the can and it shorted out half of my keyboard, (which sucked, because an evil storm came in that lasted forever) but i finally was able to get out and buy a new one XP Too bad they dont make cheapo keyboards for Macs XP *paid $31*

[Miyagi Rikku]

oh i might not be able to go now. T__T my dad says he is not sure if he can take the
day off T__T but lets hope.

[L]

Everyone take pictures for the unfortunate ones like me to see =D

[Cassie]

Episode 8 is out, probably the best episode so far. Absolutely zero wasted time from the stupid star gazers talking unlike some of the previous episodes.

[Miyagi Rikku]

XD lol now I kinda want to push it more on going XD since legend wants pics XD

[shaberry]

Legend: Will do. =)

Miyagi: Awww...how unfortunate. You can't drive down yourself? *blink*

[Miyagi Rikku]

they wont let me. cause I am bad with directions. ._.;

[shaberry]

Awww...*pout* Hmmm...well I'm pretty sure we can figure something out. ^-^

[Miyagi Rikku]

yeah im thinking T__t and not to mention I spent that 80 dollars to buy me a guiatar hero 2 so no costume

[Emperor Knives]

Lol no...Teletubbies is the worst. And I actually thought Misa was pretty :D. The only thing I liked about the ending was that L was alive and that Light lost. But the way he beat Light by faking his death was kind of cheap.

[Emperor Knives]

I always watch the eps on CR. They upload the eps as soon as the sub is released. Thank God for Crunchyroll :D

[shaberry]

Ahhh...icee icee...what a predicament.
