So what exactly does the faggot flower cult do? Pull the strings from behind the scenes like marionette puppeteers?

They're collecting the Bijuu, which are tailed beasts in Japanese mythology that have great powers.

Like Naruto and Gaara?

(I may get the AVIs of the new season to watch from my friend who downloads em in the semester break.)

Sort of. they're called Jinchuuriki - which basically means a human with a Bijuu sealed inside them - so the Akatsuki are capturing the Bijuu that are still roaming the land free as well as the Jinchuuriki in order to extract the Bijuus from them.

Guess what I'm thinking.

"Damn, that sounds really profound and exciting! I'm gonna sell all my Hideaki Anno DVDs to get me those Naruto DVD boxsets right now!"

I reckon that's about right?

Gotta catch that Pikachu! Gotta gather all 7 dragonballs!

I'll be bored as fuck in the holidays. .... I think I'll pass on new Naruto (since the old series was crap) and just play an unopened game that I have lying around. I'm excited bout Bioshock, time to crack open that Deus Ex box.

Probably a wise decision, Part 2 is a little more mature and considerably darker in tone, but I don't think enough about it has changed to convert those who hated the first part.

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 01 Jun 2007, 19:15

But if I had started watching the new series, I probably wouldn't have been able to stop. Near decent shounen shows still suck but they're also like crack.

Shingster · Post by **Shingster** » 03 Jun 2007, 16:38

I'm like that with Jdorama, even if the show is mind numbingly, eye bleedingly stupid and contrived, I can still sit through a series no probs. It's the only reason I got through 2 seasons of Hotman.

Bad news DN viewers:-
Every known group thats subbing DN just got a Cease and Desist letter warning that action will be taken against them should they continue subbing and distributing after June 22nd. That means we will most likely not get to see the final two episodes.

Go to Kuro-Hana and grab 32-35 while you can!
http://kuro-hanasubs.com/

EDIT: Kuro-hana plan to release the rest. 37 will be an IRC only release.

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 14 Jun 2007, 08:51

I guess I was right in my decision to stop watching for the time being untill i would get the series complete.

No way I'm buying a series I havent been able to watch through fansubs, though.
I'll just hope everything WILL somehow get released.

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 14 Jun 2007, 18:27

Kuro-Hana has dropped DN.

"We don't want to risk it, five+ of the staff members are in the US."

Episode 1 of Devil May Cry has been speed-subbed. Sub quality is naturally low.

DEATH NOTE 36 SUBBED.

Latter requires signing into their tracker. Otherwise you may get an IP ban.

If you grabbed the raw:- http://www.datorrents.com/download.asp? ... ub.torrent
Rename the *.ass file to the same filename as the provided raw and it should playback automatically with MPC.

EDIT:
Better sub by another group is out.

Welcome to the NHK is sweet show. Matt and Lourdes, you should definitely give it a spin.

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 22 Jun 2007, 03:47

Ugh, never mind about NHK. After episode 4 it's seemed to have fallen into a massive melodramatic hole.

Gonzo.

Just watched the first ep of Death Note. Not bad... has restored my faith in Anime series.

HungFist · Post by **HungFist** » 25 Jun 2007, 19:48

I asked my friend to give me more anime to watch and he game me Kino's Jorney. I watched the first two episodes today, looks pretty good.

Planetes I returned to him after the first two discs. It wasn't awful to me (who's seen hardly any anime) but just way too noisy. If I had seen more anime I suspect I would've like it even less. But like I said, it was almost okay (to me)... but with 20 unwatched dvds sitting in the shelf I have better things to do than put all my free time on that show.

Cowboy Bebop I liked. The first episode was misery for one reason or another, the second was alright, and from third on I quite liked the show. He only had the first two remix volumes (R1) but if he buys more I'll be borrowing more

Now and Then, Here and There I think I already reviewed in the other thread. Pure awesomeness. Same with Hoshi no koe. I didn't watch Places Promised in Our Early Days because I ordered the R1 double pack almost immediately after seeing Hoshi. Now it's one of those 20 unwatcted dvd in my shelf...

EDIT: Ai Maeda as Kino's voice; is that Aki's big sis? Or someone else?

EDIT 2: I think this is the first time in my life I post into a anime topic

Akitarou Daichi, the man makes good shows. Mind you, everything else he's done is considerably lighter in tone than Now & Then.

Yup, her older sister; she also (badly) sings the end theme, The Beautiful World. You probably know Ai best as playing Kitano's daughter in Battle Royale 2 (Oh christ, that movie was awful.).

She's got a nice voice at least.

But Aki, her I'm gonna ask for a date the next time I'm in Japan (read: gonna get my ass kicked by her bodyguard, if I ever manage to get close to her

)

Anyway, good job that the series has been released completely.
