Let's Talk Anime/Manga

[SleepyD]

A lot are things I saw on TV when I was in the Philippines, so I wasn't there to see the entire thing.  Others I saw on CN, and since I do lack basic cable, *moves antennae around* I can't watch the entire thing.  These are usually the reasons why I've only watched an ep or two of those.

This is why I dl fansubs mostly.  I lack any other access to anime.  I do buy anime whenever I am financially capable.  I plan on getting Lain next. ^^

[CaptBrenden]

My fairly decent pay and utter lack of bills funds my anime.  I can drop 400 on anime in one trip and it wont get me kicked out of my house or make me starve.  The barraks is free and so is the chow hall.  I download fan subs because some of the best stuff never makes it to the us, and Im often impatiant to see new eps of shows I like or new shows/manga from artists I like.  Tho, I always do buy them when they come to the us eventualy.  

Oh and another thing i got going for me is the haji store here in falljah.  The sell (Im so bad...) pirated anime shows for cheap. I mean dirt cheap.  They are all in japanese and the subs are dirt poor to the point you can barely understand them (unless you got a rudemtry understanding of japanes and can fill in the sub gaps yourself like me)

I got all of full metal alchimist for 40 bucks for example.  bleach 1-60 the same.  THe thing that suprizes me the most is the quality of the bootleg boxes... If not for the typos from a failing understanding of english (like when and entire series is capped off with "the compleat full season") I would think they were legit looking at them

[SleepyD]

haha, I'm going to the Philippines in a couple days, and I'm sure to find a lot of pirated stuff there. ^^

And yeah, they can look pretty realistic.

Of course, for series you really like, having the real thing makes you feel really good. haha

[CaptBrenden]

as I said, I replace the stuff eventualy anywas, Im just to desperate to see new stuff to wait.

[SleepyD]

I know that feeling very well. ^^

Mwahah-- *cough choke*

Never get that laugh right. -_-

Anyway, I've come back from Spain, and got so many cool anime/manga-related thingies from there that I cannot stop smiling. Found a manga comic called Cannon God Exaxxion (not worth much as it is, but the stage 1.3 cover features one of the female characters of the story, who looks almost EXACTLY like my favourite anime girl Fuu Hououji-san from Magic Knight Rayearth), 12 Love Hina postcards, four anime figurines (another Naru Narusegawa-san, a Shinobu Maehara-san, a Ring Ring-san and a Sophia Esteed-san with a magic wand), several issues of Neon Genesis Evangelion and Martian Successor Nadesico (have the NGE as books as far as it's been published, but no magazines), two posters (NGE and St Seiya), Sailor Moon artbook #1 and a Ranma Ã,½ scarf. Yes, I'm crazy about all the extra series-related stuff, and the comic stores in Madrid were very economical. ^____^

Furthermore, there's a HUGE discount sale in every local store in Finland as well, so yesterday I bought myself seven anime DVDs for a price of two.

Happy. ^_^

edit: Sorry for the bragging; just had to share my joy. ^^;

[CaptBrenden]

you know what, I hate you. -.-

WOW. I haven't seen that much anime. The only manga I have a penchant for are Net Characters. Years ago I loved Pokemon. Now my collection of cards is located on a bookshelf...somewhere.

Oh what they, since we're on a posting rampage anyway....  ^___^

This old pig has watched WAY too much Anime to post, or rather I'm too lazy to type all of it up.... -v-

I will say this, though....

For reasons that might seem obvious, I'm rather partial to 'Porco Rosso'.... -v-

C-Chan added the following  1 minute after last message :

BTW, if anyone's watched 'Haibane Renmei', then maybe my signature will make sense to you.  ^__^'

[NewYinzer]

Porco Rosso

Ah, Miyazaki-san. My favorite is Princess Mononoke. Anyone else have a favorite?

Compliment or insult?

its just more people (in the US) are like that, devote their lives to one anime/manga series and just obseess about it and they loss contact with the real world.

or they watch what ever is on the telly and think its "cool" (cheap, bad animation, and story, also writen for 5 year olds).

You can't help but pity hikikomori. Not me though. I have many other interests.
