    Monster

    Monster has to be one of my favourite anime of all time, likewise with the manga. It's an adult drama with some supernatural elements that never strays from the realistic, building a cast of fantastic personalities. The plot is dynamic; even those few episodes not building up the main plot are...

    Can someone help me???

    Indeed, it hasn't been licensed, but the (argubly) superior manga has been licensed, and is at Volume 10. Most likely Bleach's license is held or will be held by Viz, and will be revealed at some point in the future.

    ~The avatar thread~

    I've sticked this thread; if the desktop thread is stickied, this one deserves to be, and it's useful for anyone who likes the look of someone's avatar but is not sure which anime it is from. ^_^ My new avatar is the oddly named Winner (better than other translations of it, believe me ;p)...

    The Five Star Stories

    I've been interested in this manga for a while now, but I don't believe there is an english translation. :(

    What you guys doing right now.

    Writing pointless revision notes, applying msn and wondering which is the easiest, cleanest and swiftest way to commit suicide.

    Tiffany Grant Interview Article, a slight correction of

    One could easily assume that as a celebrity, albeit a minor one, Ms. Grant opted for the oft-taken route of retaining her own family's surname, for ease of recognition and to establish her own personality outside that of her husband.

    Big new anime projects on the horizon

    All three of these projects sound interesting; even be it just buy the staff involved or the title. I doubt Kon will ever misfire, and anything with those who worked on Last Exile, Fafner and, most of all, Gankutsuou, would have to try pretty hard to flounder.

    Elfan Lied

    It has violent moments, but I think they are done in a way that makes them more comical than mentally crushing, although that doesn't have to be a bad thing. Basically, it's a 13-episode series, which can be bought in four volumes on Region 1 at the moment. The series' star is Lucy/Nyu, a...

    Funimation confront fansubbing

    Again, I must agree with Badger on this point. I'm firmly of the belief that fansubs only aid the anime industry; if I had not seen the afformentioned Fullmetal Alchemist subbed, I would probably have dismissed it before even watching it rather than adoring it. This raises an interesting...

    Dubbing

    I hold no active dislike of dubbed anime, but the choice for me is always subbed, through preference.

    Which genres suit manga best?

    I often find myself enjoying manga that is more character-based, and full of dialogue and monologue, rather than that which relies heavily on action, simply because many such scenes in manga seem to me to be unclear and difficult to connect with due to the very nature of the medium. Then again...

    08th MS Team: A recommendation by a Mecha Fanboy

    Well, I can't see too much resemblance beyond the name, but it does make me interested in finding links between Gundam designs and real life military constructions.

    Wolf's Rain (on Rapture) discussion

    Although I haven't been following Rapture's airing, I'm glad that so many are taking this series to heart; it's an excellent drama with universal appeal, along with a main cast of nine or so characters who are crucially developed and joys to watch in my slightly biased opinion.

    08th MS Team: A recommendation by a Mecha Fanboy

    I'll just echo the general consensous, and say that I agree that 08th MS Team is one of the best Gundam series, and as per usual with a good Gundam OVA manages to add a new spin to the franchise. It's also easily available to buy, which is good news for anyone who wants to check them out; I...

    Chrono Crusade?

    I enjoy both the anime and the manga, but I have to second Daedalus' opinion; the manga delves further into the plot than the anime, and lacks the "Gonzoization" that the anime has undergone.

    Mai-Otome

    The last two episodes have reallly added some more plot development to the series; all that is needed now is actual progression. Miyu's appearance was fantastic, and the more serious tone assumed now is fabulous; episode 8 had some quite sinister, if predicted, features.

    Paradise Kiss anime!

    Thanks; all in all I felt it was a good episode, and I can't wait for more. Spee: Isabella agrees with you. Observe below:

    New anime from Mamoru Oshii

    Certainly a project to look out for; even if it falls below the high quality marks, the premise is unique enough to make it interesting.

    AMV.org hit with legal problems

    Oh, please don't leave, I fully agree to your motion and will back it up with all the force I have. Which isn't that much really, oh well.
