    The Anime/Manga I Bought Today Was...

    I think the postman must have forgotten half my post this morning, as about an hour later I had 2 more parcels ^_^ In one was volumes 1-3 of Haruka Naru Toki no Naka de manga books (Japanese of course, but I live in hopes it might get an English language release!). The other had volume 1 of...

    The Anime/Manga I Bought Today Was...

    Don't tell me you're the one who paid £82 for it :? I got a few nice things in the post today, but as usual, most of my UP1 order is out of stock :( I did get: Volume 1 of Earthian the manga (it's about an inch thick and has a beautiful front cover, like thick vellum!). Volume 1 of...

    Ask our reporter in Japan!

    I know of Cospa in Japan, but I also remember finding out that most of the cosplay items aren't allowed to be shipped outside of Japan for some reason (I found all this out 3-4 years ago, whilst trying to get a hold of something for myself). Cospa's website is: www.cospa.co.jp Hobby Link Japan...

    Kare Kano (His and Her Circumstances), and importing

    I've got volumes 1-17 of the manga (waiting for vol 18 next month, which is the final volume) and basically the anime follows the manga quite closely in terms of storyline, up to the point the manga-ka was ill. If you've seen the anime and enjoyed it, but want to know what really happens, then...

    CardCaptor Sakura

    I've seen all of Card Captor Sakura (1-70) and it is lovely, but the only similarity to Sailor Moon is the "monster of the week" scenario. She's 10 years old and doesn't transform. It's a very sweet anime, very sugary, so make sure you like that kind of thing first before investing that kind of...

    Paradise Kiss anime!

    My turn to do a screencap ^_^ This is a poster on Arashi's wall!! BTW episode 6 gets *hot* :twisted: My fears of the romance between George and Yukari are, thankfully, unfounded. Not quite as sexy as in the manga, but not far off ^_^

    Kare Kano (His and Her Circumstances), and importing

    The only dodgy factor about Kare Kano is the lack of any kind of ending! The anime was being made at the same time the manga was being written and when the manga-ka fell really ill and couldn't continue with the manga for some time, the anime company contrived a shite ending for the anime that...

    The Anime/Manga I Bought Today Was...

    I got lots today ^_^ my bargains from ebay! I got the entire 7 volumes of Robotech for £37, volumes 1-6 of Excel Saga for £22, the boxset of Bubblegum Crisis for £23.50, volume 1 of Rumiko Takahashi's Antholoy for £3.23, volume 1 of Tenjo Tenge for 99p (couldn't resist giving it a go for...

    MVM's massive boxset special offer

    I was seriously contemplating getting this for my son for Xmas (and removing Ninja Scroll of course!) and then I noticed they only accept card payments :(

    Paradise Kiss anime!

    George is the main reason I'm watching Parakiss (I can openly admit to being that shallow :lol: ). I like all of the characters in the anime (can't stand Arashi's accent though), but I think the best portrayal is of Alice ^_^ I will always want the passion in Parakiss, as the main part of the...

    Tenchi in Tokyo

    I really didn't like it at all. Apart from the pig ugly animation, the story was boring and I couldn't stand any of the characters; they all seemed to have had a personality transplant! I think taking Tenchi away from the girls and his home was a big mistake. It's the only Tenchi I won't watch...

    Rozen Maiden manga

    The first series is only a small part of the story from the manga, which is why I guess there's a second season!!

    Favourite manga cover artwork?

    @Chomolungma: your Paradise Kiss cover is of the 2nd edition, the first edition covers weren't so nice and I was almost tempted to buy it all over again, just for the new covers :lol: I love the covers of the new Fushigi Yuugi manga series; Genbu Kaiden. There is so much beautiful artwork...

    Paradise Kiss anime!

    Just a little update after watching episode 5 (raw). I have a major concern with how on earth the rest of the story is going to fit into the remaining 7 episodes and I have this horrible feeling that the affair between George and Yukari is going to be dumbed down to virtually nothing and...

    The Anime/Manga I Bought Today Was...

    I got volume 1 of Crossroad by Shioko Mizuki this morning. It's one of around 12 mangas I preordered with UP1 and the only one that has turned up yet! I'm a bit miffed, as I preordered a number of titles that are now "temporarily unavailable", but surely their original order should have been...

    Paradise Kiss anime!

    I think it fits perfectly with the real essence of Parakiss and I think to be honest it's a song about George! The one thing I love about the ed theme are the ending animation credits that go with it ^_^ It's the only fansub where I bother to watch the ed credits every time! The only...

    So whats your desktop?

    You should have kept the sexy yaoi one :wink: Mine's rather nice at the moment. It's a lovely image of the guys from Lucifer (Kaikan Phrase). Back left to right: Santa & Towa. Front left to right: Yuki, Sakuya & Atsuro.
