Only two episodes in, but I love this show to pieces already. The cast is varied and vibrant, and the hero is decidedly uncliche. I doubt i'm the only one who well in love with Saber before she was even introduced to the show. Despite being an adapation of an adult title, the humour has been...

I can remeber this time last year I was tremendously excited about many games; I would play them often, and ended up always buying far more games than I could actually finish. Yet, of late, I find myself less and less into gaming; I do not find them at all as enjoyable as I used to do. Issues of...

It's been a long few months, and now, finally, the end has come. *sigh of relief* The three-way final saw three characters who have worked hard and close to snatch the final three spots, and in the end it became one of the closest and most heated week yet. So, without further ado, the...

Mangaminx: So, after weeks of epic duels, thrilling victories and tragic losses we are finally at the grand finale, the battle to end all battles. Its been a long and bloody road, but I shall miss doing it every week *wipes a tear from her cheek* Chomolungma: Calm down dear, it's only the...

My excitement is rocketing, as various forum members will tell you, although I fear Neptune2venus/Cassandra is the most excited of all. ;) I can't wait for another batch of sublime duels with such endearing personalities as Cervantes, Nightmare, Raphael and Ivy, although apart from Setsuka...

So, Spike Speigal is going through to the three-way showdown, but who shall be his opponents? This week, slogging each other for the honour we have the vivicious line-up of the ever-victorious Osaka fighting a slightly less clueless Yomiko Readman. Good luck to both competitors. Remember to...

What can I say? In a season with Blood+, Jigoku Shoujo, Mai-Otome and soon Paradise Kiss subbed, the anime that I've most enjoyed (admittedly, only a single episode) was Noein. It's a truly fantastic opening to what seems like an intelligent series that can only be summed up as epic. Episode...

Ok, only one episode has aired, but I felt it was rather good. The animation exceeds Hime, and the characters so far have been interesting, especially Shizuzu. I think with the set-up provided, the show could excel in all that its precursor did, and then some. I hope the same level of quality...

It's the final week of the second round, once again Bleach's Ichigo takes centre stage as he combats FMP's Sousuke. Mangaminx's thread of delectation this week contains Escaflowne's Hitomi and Azumanga's Osaka, so haul yourself over there and get voting! If you don't leave a comment after your...

No, this isn't a thread about RPG Maker, although that's certainly a worthy topic. Basically, it's a gathering together of several hollow thread ideas into one. Firstly, do you prefer a classic rpg style world map, or a connecting world of locations? Secondly, do you prefer random...

Thanks to an anonymous forum member*, I've recently began to read Black Cat, and it is another truly fantastic manga. The undoubted stars are Train (aka Black Cat) and Sven, who have a partnership as Sweepers - basically bounty hunters. It seems to have slight mob undertones, which suit the...

In a slightly odd but necessery match, ROD's The Paper, Yomiko Readman, faces the card captor, Sakura. Please make sure to visit this week's other battle thread, where Guts and Char face off, and a comment on who you vote is always appreciated. Thanks. :)

For the second week of the second round, the extraordinary powerful Guts of Berserk and the iconic pilot Char of Gundam will battle for a place in the final six. The rule, as always, is to please comment on who you vote for. Mangaminx is eating out tonight, so in her absence we have Yomiko...

It's crunch time as Evangelion and Cowboy Bebop collide head to head for the first week of the second round, both of them vying for a position in the third round. The rules remain; please leave a comment after your vote (or even if you follow the path of abstainance) with the reason for...

It's the final week of the first round, and I think it's definatly a case of saving the most explosive of the male fights to last. Standing for entry to the second round today we have Kurosaki Ichigo, the strawberry-haired shinigami of Bleach (pictured below with Rukia) facing off for a place in...

For the third week, a pair of powerful male characters are lined up for your voting. On one side we have Alex Rowe of Last Exile, the infamous captain of the Slivana, while facing him is the vengeance-driven hero of Berserk, Guts. Happy voting, make sure to leave a comment on who you vote...

To continue the trend of top tens, polls and favourite threads, here's a more specialized but perhaps just as fun one. For me: 5) Gundam 0080 OVA; like 08th MS Team it's a different viewpoint on war. 4) Mobile Suit Gundam; it's the original, and introduces that character, you know the...

Five have fallen, but five wildcards still remain in the male section of the tournament. Due to the five-way tie, it's time for another battle to determine who will make it to the next round! The two highest voted characters will go through as wildcards. And, to top it all off, as extra time...

It's battle of the boy mecha pilots this week as Shinji of Evangelion and the mildly less annoying Ayato of RahXephon fight to go through to the next round. As always, please please please, comment upon the character you vote, so I can file all preferences away in my secret information file...
