    Who here plays games on their mobile?

    My SE k750i can actually do some of the cool ones - I had a bit of fun with them when I first got it, but back then the prevailing game quality was poor. Its improving a lot though. There are thankfully more RPGs coming out, which are the best type IMO. And currently Sudoku on my phone is...

    Why US imports are superior to UK domestic dvds!

    Imports don't play in my friends R2-only DVD players.

    Your views on a few titles please

    Apparently the best show of the winter season last year. Naruto with girls. Its animated very well, but it didn't totally appeal to me. Fansubbing is very slow too. I liked the manga, but its pretty clear that this show is not touching any of the main story, and is focusing on some of hte...

    RIP The Crocodile Hunter

    It was a bit rough too - the news was all over the place, and they are not even sure if his wife/family was contacted yet. From what I can tell - he was trying to branch out with the aquatic documentary. All the antics that he is famous for, getting close and uncomfortable with irate animals...

    Manga's You Wish Were Finshed / Fully Translated

    Eh? It only got licensed what a year and a half/2 years ago? They are doing a release every 2 months, whats so bad about that? Personally I would have no fear of Naruto manga going to seed. Well I heard the Elfen Lied manga is inferior to the anime. I wouldn't hold your breath. Oh yeah...

    Berserk

    It also barely covers the story. Berserk, while a great anime, and a great manga, is famous for leaving off at what amounts to a cliffhanger. The events as described in the anime are really the prelude to the whole story (Okay, in the manga it takes about 10-12 volumes to arrive at this stage...

    Help Finding a Manga Please

    Yotsub&! is probably cheaper on play.com. Recommended Manga with no anime counterpart Anne Freaks Blade of the Immortal historical, samurai Cannon God Exaxxion sci-fi, action, mecha, war Eden sci-fi, apocalyptic Immortal Rain (mostly out, and possibly7 cheaper on play) sci-fi, shoujo...

    WTFDM Takes a Look at KARAS: The Prophecy (Manga Ent)

    How to explain ... moe is anime slang, and a term familiar really to the otaku mindset, its not a term that is familiar to japanese people at large. Basically moe describes an appealing feminine quality of girls between childhood and adulthood, combining qualities of youthful innocence and...

    Bandai threaten fansubbers over Solid State Society

    I agree to an extent. There is actually good research done on the impact of the internet, mp3 & file sharing on the music. And I mean good research here, not just Find facts or statistics that back up our company position. I am of course alluding to a recent study by the Canadian Recording...

    WTFDM Takes a Look at KARAS: The Prophecy (Manga Ent)

    One major criticism of it, is that the plot is way too much in the keep-you-guessing mode. This is an artifact of it being released initially as 3 OVAs rather than a cinematic feature. Keep in mind that there is actually a very large primary cast including, many of whom have 'alternate forms' -...

    WTFDM Takes a Look at KARAS: The Prophecy (Manga Ent)

    Some background info: KARAS is Tatsunoko Pro's 40th anniversary project. It incorporates a lot of cool ideas, like for once the use of 3DCG to support an anime style, rather than the usual way of making it depict mechanical or realistic structures. KARAS as a hero, is like the hero you...

    Bandai threaten fansubbers over Solid State Society

    Well it is a bit pro-fansub. I have been trying to do some research on this lately - when I defend fansubs I want to be secure in my facts. However there are a lot of fansubbers that are in it only for intarweb fame. The amount of project duplication really pisses me off, theres a lot of...

    Bandai threaten fansubbers over Solid State Society

    If you are going to be stupidly pedantic about this I will stop replying. Fans talk about shows. Never rule out word of mouth. You cannot isolate the runaway success of Naruto or other popular anime from its popularity on the fansub circuit. There are literally hundreds of thousands of positive...

    Manga Max magazine to return to UK shelves?

    Has anyone got a copy yet (or is it not out?). Well Neo has huge growth, but a common complaint about it is that it is too dilute wrt anime & manga.

    WTFDM's Ultimate Thoughts On Naruto... so far

    Naruto is definately very stretched. Even with using up 25% of each episode on recap, extending out back-story episodes, and skimping on animation everywhere except where it counts, they still felt it necessary to pad the series out with what is looking like nearly 2 full years of absolute...

    Giant Robo

    If you like it, check out MazinKaizer too. Great retro-styled anime, somewhat in the same mold too.

    Forgotten About Animes

    Good for you to declare your piracy openly. Its against the rules for this board. Japanese MSG 0079 is finally coming out this Xmas. http://global.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.aspx/code-j/section-videos/pid-1004194001/ Its been out on VCD for a while too.

    Bandai threaten fansubbers over Solid State Society

    Um yes, somebody has already mentioned the ebay auctions of DVD Rs filled with fansubs, but there are also plenty of direct download sites which for a subscription let you DL popular anime episodes like Bleach, Naruto, Blood+ for a monthly fee. Kinda like what you get with torrents (except you...

    recommend a good gory anime

    *giggle* I remember some usenet thread where they made up some potential porno parody names for anime titles. Off the top of my head: -Fist of the Porn Star -Bunbuster -Bubblebutt Crisis -Burn Up! XXXcess -La Puta (some of the more offensive ones snipped) Must search for that to see...
