    ~The avatar thread~

    This one is rather a placeholder until I find a better picture of Toshiro. It took me a while to find the right one of Kabuto. Isn't he always disturbing when smiling? Although that was almost the panel he was in before we discovered that he was a bad boy. Does Toshiro Hitsugaya ever smile?

    ~The avatar thread~

    To mark my birthday I'm replacing my favourite Naruto bad boy (Kabuto) avatar in favour of one with my my favourite Bleach good boy (Toshiro Hitsugaya).

    unreleased anime in the uk what would u pick?

    Most of all Case Closed, Hunter x Hunter, and Gundam X, maybe Gravitation and Ruroni Kenshin as well. Also, in their entirely, as the releases were started but not finished, Yu Yu Hakusho and Card Captors Sakura.

    Japanese anime destroying American society

    Oh, I beg to differ. Think of all the impressionable parents, teacher and politicans etc, who might be reading articles like that. If I remember correctly after the Columbine tragedy the finger was pointed at everything as being responsible except for guns being easily available in the country.

    I wanna cosplay

    A few relatively simple ideas that came to my mind while reading this thread: Black cycle shorts + green vest + trainers: Heero Yuy from Gundam Wing. Possibly not the best choice for October cosplay. Short-sleeved white shirt, perhaps a size or two too large so you can get some obvious...

    Hunter x Hunter returns in October

    Rather appropriately I noticed this when I poised to order volume 16. This is good news although it will probably be at least a year until any new volumes are released in translation.

    YuYu Hakusho DVDs?

    I think volume 6 was scheduled but that went west Revealation replaced MVM as FUNimation's distributor and it seems continuing the Yu Yu Hakusho DVD releases didn't have the same priority as series like FMA or Fruit Baskets. I'm don't mind whether it is as indivual DVDs, , boxes sets or...

    What manga are you reading now?

    Read all the managas that were in my last parcel: GetBackers vol 19, Case Closed 18 and Yu Yu Hakusho volumes 5 and 7 (working my way backward and forwards from volume 6). Just finished the first chapter of Rurouni Kenshin but I might be putting manga aside this weekend.

    None in Kent either. Why am I not surprised?

    The Anime/Manga I Bought Today Was...

    Some manga arrived in the post today: GetBackers vol 19 and Case Closed 18, the latest volumes in English, along with Yu Yu Hakusho (am I the only who thinks that title sounds like a sneeze?) volumes 5 and 7

    Whats your homepage?

    For a long time I had "blank" as the home page going back to time when we first had the internet so I set the home page to something local so the browser wouldn't keep trying to connect (ie dial-up) to the isp whenever it was started. However, eventially the blandness of the the blank page...

    Tales from Earthsea to get Cinema release

    Dub or sub I doubt it will reach any of the local cinemas near me (Howl's Moving Castle was shown but not Ghost in the Shell: Innocence and Spirited Away had a single performance) unless I go to London.

    What manga are you reading now?

    Yu Yu Hakusho volume 6 (starting there in the hope of carrying on where the R2English DVD releases got stalled) and Hunter x Hunter volume 15. Both are by Yoshihiro Togashi, and this is is the first time I've been reading from two different by the same author.

    Licence wish list

    In that case my wish-list (shortened version) for UK licences, or UK broadcast, would be: Bleach, Case Closed, Hunter x Hunter, Gundam X, Gravitation, Hikaru no Go, Weiss Kreuz, and I'll leave it at that for now. Also, although it is probably (still) licenced but is in limbo, the...

    What film or story would you like to see as an anime?

    I'd forgotten that scene but it has been over ten years since I read the book. Crawley (I think he changed his name to Crowley) is one of Pratchett's best characters, along with Death and Rhincewind, and I can imagine him and Astrophales(I think that was the name of his angelic opposite number)...

    The Anime/Manga I Bought Today Was...

    The Hunter x Hunter volume 15 and Yu Yu Hakusho volume 6 mangas arrived today. Both series, I notice, are by the same author. ( With Yu Yu Hakusho it is the first I've not started with a manga from volume 1 but as there seems to be no sign of resumption YYH DVD releases I've skipped the first...

    What film or story would you like to see as an anime?

    Good Omens was co-written with Terry Pratchett and I think it is his best book. I think it would work as anime better than most of the Discworld stories. The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy is borderline. An anime adaptation of that could improve on the film (which was ok but nothing more...
