I know it wasnt blonde thats why I said "I thought Id see..." lol anywho yea Ill have to check out a few episodes and compare and contrast XP. Kinda reminds me how I saw the Nana movie at Otakon. Havent read the manga just yet. I remember when that came out and thought it looked neat. Then I discovered the movie after listening to Mika Nakashima awhile. From what I saw so far of the film, I thought it was "ok" but I would like to see the whole thing though.


EliteSasuke Aug 20, 2008 - 03:06 AM

@ Ryutaro: Hagu isnt blonde, her paintings are WAAAAAY better in the show, and ugh...you would have to watch the series (both seasons) to understand how bad the movie truly was.


RyutaroPuraTuri Aug 20, 2008 - 01:58 AM

I was really happy when Shawn won! Shes my underdog!! I agreed with what that one commentator said "Its like Christmas morning for her now." Something like that lol. Did anyone see last night's gymnastics? Man that was soooo heaeted O_O Wow!

About that live action Honey and Clover(Zero dont get too mad)I check it out on youtube and clicked on the ending part by mistake. I thought Id see a blonde Hagu. I didnt really like the paintings she did though...just ok(I hope that isnt a spoiler.. >_O).


EliteSasuke Aug 20, 2008 - 01:45 AM

Yeah, but Nastia is really attractive.


Shoko loves Gackto~ Aug 20, 2008 - 01:37 AM

Now, women's gymnastics is over. Finished! Sadness... But Shawn Johnson won gold!


EliteSasuke Aug 19, 2008 - 10:48 PM

Why? Honey and Clover the anime was awesome!


MaKeNsHi ZeRo Aug 19, 2008 - 10:35 PM

The movie will make you frustrated.

I get angry anytime anyone mentions the words "Honey" and "Clover".


EliteSasuke Aug 19, 2008 - 04:59 PM

I didnt know there was a live action series....

Not that it matters, the anime beats the series 40,000,000 times over anyway LOL!


Shoko loves Gackto~ Aug 19, 2008 - 04:53 PM

yeah, I didn't watch the movie but the cover looked boring. I didn't know any of the actors.

As for the live action series, first episode was slow. But like I said, I'm still gonna finish it. Eventually...


EliteSasuke Aug 19, 2008 - 04:49 PM

@ Zero: The live action was a disgrace to the show.

@ Gackto: Honey and Clover movie?


Shoko loves Gackto~ Aug 19, 2008 - 04:24 PM

You know, the live action drama series was kinda boring too after 1 episode. Still gotta watch it though. -_- Ikuta Toma is in it along with other people.

The movie looked boring just by the cover and no good actors


MaKeNsHi ZeRo Aug 19, 2008 - 02:17 PM

Most frustrating movie for me:

Honey and Clover Live Action Film.


Keemo~です Aug 19, 2008 - 01:45 PM

Psh, I used to think that School Days was just a bit disturbing, now its nothing more then a general visual novel with a touch of blood. Don't get me wrong I liked it.

If you wanna see something F'ed up read anything by Shintaro Kago. Haha.


EliteSasuke Aug 19, 2008 - 12:49 PM

I liked that side of Eureka 7, sort of like...

Rahxephon for a younger generation. And everyone knows, I loved Rahxephon and Evangelion, so any series that is trying to be like them is good in my book, as long as it keeps me entertained.


MaKeNsHi ZeRo Aug 19, 2008 - 12:06 PM

When I say F-ed up, I mean comparing how things were in the beginning of the series to the end of the series.

Eureka Seven went from Tony Hawk's Underground Skating to Cataclysmic End-of-the-world Sci-Fi Channel Exclusive Movie.

Not saying it was bad, just saying that things got so screwed up from the starting point.


EliteSasuke Aug 19, 2008 - 04:35 AM

Who said Eureka 7 was screwed up? I was just saying it had cliff hanger endings. I really enjoyed Eureka 7.

If you want screwed up, try School Days TV, I effing hate that series. Yes Paris, I said it lol.


mudkip+mailorder Aug 19, 2008 - 04:05 AM

F'ed up? I read about 4 volumes of Eureka 7 and didn't find anything too scarring.. is the manga significantly different from the anime? I enjoyed what I read, it just didn't strike me as something crazy and screwed up.

When I think of F'ed up, I think of Now and Then, Here and There. When a series isn't afraid to kill kids, that's F-ed up.


EliteSasuke Aug 19, 2008 - 02:36 AM

Yeah, Eureka 7 and FullMetal Alchemist both had the cliff ending torture going on lol.

The first season of Bleach did, as well.


MaKeNsHi ZeRo Aug 19, 2008 - 01:58 AM

Yeah... there's so many gosh darn cliffhangers in R2... and I'm not gonna lie, it gets all types of f-ed up.

But never as f-ed up as Eureka Seven... no way in hell anything can ever be that messed up.


Keemo~です Aug 19, 2008 - 01:58 AM

@ Katheryn: I read Bakuman too! like the second day that Sleepyfans released it, I really enjoyed this one, which is rare for me to like a manga on the first chapter.

Really the only similarity that I find it shares with Death Note is that the main character goes in to philosophical monologues about life and the future of himself. Though less (much less) dramatic~


Katheryn Aug 19, 2008 - 12:10 AM

Speaking of Death Note, I just read the first chapter for Bakuman, the new manga from the creators of Death Note. I like it a lot so far! It's not really anything like Death Note, except that the main character is bored with life.

http://www.onemanga.com/Bakuman/


EliteSasuke Aug 19, 2008 - 12:06 AM

Well R2, it tends to fade a little bit (The similarities between Death Note and Code Geass, I mean), but yeah, at least you see what I am getting at.


mudkip+mailorder Aug 18, 2008 - 10:59 PM

Watching the first season, I felt that the battle of moral values between Zero and Suzaku were similar to Light and L. Zero and Light both believe that you have to break a few rules in order to achieve something greater, while Suzaku and L believe you need to work within the bounds of law. Haven't seen any of R2 yet, so dunno if it's still like that.


EliteSasuke Aug 18, 2008 - 08:34 PM

But I still find the show amusing lol


EliteSasuke Aug 18, 2008 - 08:27 PM

You all realize that Code Geass is really A LOT like Death Note, right? In so many ways.

1) Light has Ryuk, Lelouch has CC
2) Powers, 'nough said
3) geniuses bent on domination
4) both play it out like chess
5) soooooo many loops in the story lines.

etc etc


mudkip+mailorder Aug 18, 2008 - 07:43 PM

yep! from what I understand, Suzaku is spiteful and awesome in this one.


Shoko loves Gackto~ Aug 18, 2008 - 07:12 PM

What's R2? The second season?


mudkip+mailorder Aug 18, 2008 - 06:57 PM

I haven't watched any of R2 yet... I'm waiting for it to be completed first, because I wanna marathon it without cliffhangers forcing me to wait another week ;_;


MaKeNsHi ZeRo Aug 18, 2008 - 06:13 PM

The most recent ep of Code Geass: R2 was friggin crazy.


mudkip+mailorder Aug 18, 2008 - 06:11 PM

F yeah code geass! it's pretty good.

and yeah, marathoning a series is the best way to do it. if not, you'll end up watching half, putting it off for half a year then coming back and saying: "so uhh... I forgot what's going on". sometimes it's the same for RPGs : p


MaKeNsHi ZeRo Aug 18, 2008 - 06:03 PM

Haha, that's the beauty of summer for me. Rather than having a small amount of free time every day, I have a big chunk of "busy" and another smaller chunk of "free time"

MARATHON BABY!


Shoko loves Gackto~ Aug 18, 2008 - 05:54 PM

aww man. does that mean i have to watch code geass?

I still got to finish the Paradise Kiss manga. Who else in their life tries hammer out one series a week? It's ridiculous.


MaKeNsHi ZeRo Aug 18, 2008 - 05:35 PM

Yep. Eleven = the new name given to the Japanese after being conquered by the Great Britannia!!!

ALL. HAIL. BRITTANIA~!


EliteSasuke Aug 18, 2008 - 04:55 PM

Power of 11 = Code Geass?


Shoko loves Gackto~ Aug 18, 2008 - 04:36 PM

Power of Eleven? What's that?


mudkip+mailorder Aug 18, 2008 - 04:04 PM

POWER TO THE ELEVENS @ BEIJING SUMMER OLYMPICS 2008

MaKeNsHi ZeRo Aug 18, 2008 - 11:38 AM

omg... Samantha! I know her! (Talking about new member)

I took a pic with her at Otakon! Great Success~!


RyutaroPuraTuri Aug 18, 2008 - 04:09 AM

oh right...XP thanks


EliteSasuke Aug 18, 2008 - 04:06 AM

@ Ryutaro: Use the Feedback system. Gackto is just one of the admins.


RyutaroPuraTuri Aug 18, 2008 - 03:30 AM

I agree Guo was awesome!! She has major skills O_O!! Ill miss the gymnastics! For me Shawn was my underdog! I was rooting for her!

And also Gackto...Ive seen on other forums like on the Otakon forums where you can edit your posts. I hope this doesnt sound too silly of an idea, but would it be possible to add an "edit" feature for forum posting and maybe for comment posting? Just a thought. If not thats ok Im ok either way -_^


Shoko loves Gackto~ Aug 18, 2008 - 02:59 AM

Oh the women's springboard diving was so good today. Go China! Guo Jingjing is the bomb. And she took the gold.

And I think the Women's Gymnastics is completely over now. I think... Shawn and Nastia got silver and bronze.


RyutaroPuraTuri Aug 18, 2008 - 02:17 AM

I know its still new to theaters....but has anyone seen Mirrors yet? I thought it was CREEEEPY! I dont want to say too much at this point...I dont want to spoil anyhting lol. I did like the movie though!


EliteSasuke Aug 18, 2008 - 12:26 AM

right back at you...


Keemo~です Aug 18, 2008 - 12:19 AM

Hay, just posted in "TRUTH OR LIES," take your best guess. You just might be suprised by the answer.


Shoko loves Gackto~ Aug 17, 2008 - 03:32 PM

He said he had to stop accepting friends on Facebook. Cuz he has over 7600 requests.


Frenchie Aug 17, 2008 - 01:18 PM

Well, Phelps' profile pic makes him look like a dork. But when he's out there with his swim cap, he looks pretty amazing lol. What's more cute is that he looks like his mom ::aww::


MaKeNsHi ZeRo Aug 17, 2008 - 11:45 AM

Michael Phelps is hot. No homo.


Paris Aug 17, 2008 - 03:39 AM

@ gackto: He has nice hands. And he's strong. Yum. HE'S NOT DORKY


EliteSasuke Aug 17, 2008 - 03:26 AM

@ Gackto: No, I couldnt find it cheap enough on Ebay. I bought at EB. But I am hopefully going to win the Phoenix Wright auction tomorrow, I searched it under the ebay bar, but I watched the auction...does that still count?


Shoko loves Gackto~ Aug 17, 2008 - 03:22 AM

He IS amazing. Kinda looks dorky to me though. But that's a good thing. But I can see how women thinks he is hot. haha.

Did you buy it off ebay, Sasuke?

I guess I'll have to watch Women's Volleyball.

Enjoy this classic anime, Slayers!

05/07/08: We have $151 dollars in donations. Our target is $200.

Today's video is Slayers. This series was back in the day old school style. Its wit and humor was unmatched, and the action was superb. Slayers never took itself seriously often times making fun of everything, and the characters had real personalities. Thanks to the great story, this franchise had numerous movies, OVAs, and 3 seasons on television making it one of the most popular series in Japan. It also helped that Megumi Hayashibara (popular jpop star) sang the themes and played the voice of Lina Inverse. Enjoy this great classic.

Summer is here!

Today, or more like yesterday because this website is set on Eastern Standard Time, musician hide passed away. If you didn't know, he was the lead guitarist for X-Japan. And his song, Pink Spider, was awesome.

So at the request of Aria, a tribute to him on the Aftercon Musician List. And he is the feature artist for this week as well.

Oh, savor the lobster on the banner. It will be gone by Monday.

That was fun!

04/30/08: Thanks for coming everyone!

Thanks for the donations as well. We are at $150 out of the $200 we are looking for so we are almost there! We also have a surprise for you next week as well. Can't tell you... it's a surprise.

The hot tub was fun. The steaks were delicious and the lobster was entertaining (look at the lobster at the top). Again, thanks for bring food and hanging out. ^_^
