I'll likewise dip into the barrel of the obvious and declare Ikki's shallowness, which perhaps breaks new records for being neuron-destroyingly foolish and absurdly over the top. Yet it does have some fantastic personalities that can broadly be defined as the starring "ditzy" one whose school...

I love this avatar too; and I'm glad you've come back to the forums. ^_^

Oh my gosh, Hybridchild and Mangaminx, that is such a great image. Well done!

I've been watching it when I have time, and the first few episodes don't really endear themselves to me. It's all a tad generic, attempting to be some sort of shounen jump show with a Bebop-style twist. The animation is variable as only Gonzo can be, ranging from noir-ish wonder to the more...

Oh, I see - it's just that the first series really seemed to be its own self-contained story, right to the fabulous final episode that seemed to mark the end of an era. Although I get the feeling a certain doll is going to come back this season...

Oh, I see, I always assumed that the older cover artwork was the original US edition! I certainly prefer the new covers, they have more of a sense of style than the older editions, although some of the older ones don't look so bad. I also love the new Fushigi Yuugi covers, but i've yet to read...

I enjoy the slight minimalistic look of Bleach and Fruits Basket, as you mention, especially the volumes shown below. I also love the style of Azumanga Daoih, Paradise Kiss (both US and UK covers), the Japanese Honey and Clover covers, Death Note and many others. But the covers that really...

A long way off, but i'll be sure to buy it! Does the manga just cover the events of the first series, or is the current series also derrived from it?

Hmm, perhaps that despite appearing on the outset as some sort of shounen jump action show, it's actually a more intelligent affair, that creates gripping characters, puts them in devastating situations and observes the result. It's a series about emotional conflict and turmoil that still...

This episode had a lot in it; I think my blog's reviews was a tad too long, but oh well. I'm glad the plot seems to be about to pick up; in this episode, the highlight for me was the relationships between Nao and Shiho, Nina and Arika, and Ernstein and Nina. Besides that though, the whole...

I loved the series, and the movie, and I watch subs, so this should be a perfect choice to import for me.

As stated above, it's always paramount to remember that while Miyazaki is responsable for many great films, he's not Ghibli, just a huge part of it. My personal favourite Ghibli film, for example, Grave of the Fireflies, isn't a Miyazaki film. It's certain that Miyazaki's work has its own...

I think the lyrics, especially for Kapranos, McCarthey and co., are pretty articulate, and the song has so completely grown on me; I love the lines "I like your friends, they're so arty," and "your famous friends, well I blew them before you," because they seem to be reflections of events in...

I must admit, while I agree it's a good song, I don't see what so many people do in the Paradise Kiss opening. I still prefer Do You Want To, and even some of the bgm.

No! I've never done that. Ever! Now, anyone want human souls for an Ichigo vote? I've got four strong, healty souls ready to post. I won't charge delivery, either.

A belated greetings, I'll skip the general "welcome" and say it's nice to meet you, and look foward to future encounters. ^_^

I've upgraded to a slightly larger, and rather tastier, Orphe from Meine Liebe.

There is something called msn, dear Videl, and it makes things far more convenient. I also regret not being around to spread my distate to you, but I suppose i've argued you to death already, several times. :P I've voted Yomiko, she seemed like an outsider from the start, and everyone round...

I haven't been reading these interviews much, but it is clear that only the very best become VAs. I must say I don't watch dubs much, though, and while I know the name and some roles, Crispin Freeman's work doesn't really factor into my psyche.
