Whoa!Aoyama Motoko!!!!
my 2nd best character that i like in love hina!!!waH!!!
and yes,i agree with you.for those people who haven't heard of love hina,don't watch the anime.read the manga instead!it's soo much better.but if u can't find it,then the anime's fine... =D

wow.your modelling and painting is impressive.i like how u did the 'wet shirt' effect!
i too do some modelling and painting,but unfortunately not anime resin.i do these small little miniatures of 1.5 inch high.gotta basecoat them and paint their faces and all...!!!
i'm still 'improving'....
=D

you got any nice aoyama motoko pics?
=D



oh yea,now for the On-Topic part...
i suggest u guys watch Cowboy Bebop!!!it has lots of drama in it and it's currently the best i've seen.if you guys like drama then this is the anime to watch.no lovey-dovey scenes in it.just plain action drama!
frankly when i watch this,i don't feel like i'm watching an anime,but just like a drama!it's that good!
shinichiro watanabe did one hell of a good job presenting this!

rite down the craze is on Naruto .... i strongly recommend it to anyone who is crazy abt anime .... one of the best i have seen although the graphics still lose out to Gundam series ... FTP to share with your guys ...

ftp://progenic:marthapang@progenic:21644/

The url doesn't work? Is it something I'm doing wrong or is everyone else having a problem with it.

thanx anyways, holocaust. it's still not working... :(

It may not be working because of the port number that the FTP service is using, port 21644. I have this problem because I'm behind a firewall, and that port obviously isn't open. :(

For Naruto, it's readily available on BT - its not yet licensed so u can get all the torrent on animesuki.com. I prefer the ANBU version. :D
There's so many animes being released; I'm having trouble selecting which ones to keep track of... ;)

My anime religion is Tennis no Oujisama :love_eyes:
I watch the complete set 1~96 at least once a week.. hehe..

I'm also loving Full Metal Alchemist at the moment.. the OP is just so excellent.
I love the story and the two brothers.. they just tug at my heart..
What they lived through is so tragic yet their bond and love is so strong..
sometimes I just wanna reach out and hug them :sweat:

hehe.. yea yea.. i'm an anime freak.. :P

Um, I don't know how big their anime selection is, but try deepdiscountdvd.com... If you're in the States, they offer free shipping... It's where I buy the majority of my DVDs... :)

£287 + shipping

If bought from a uk importer i would be paying 2x as much

Right stuff is very overated. Most of their discounts rely on studio sales
Dvdpacific.com have a pernament 42% off retail on all ADV discs and 30-35% on bandai/viz/pioneer(geneon) etc
:sweat:

Air mail shipping to uk is cheap as well and NO CUSTOMS!
WOOHOOO :D

How come no customs? That amount of price should have exceeded the minimum limit where you're able to pass the custom. I'd pay myself to silly if I ordered goods exceeding £ 300!

Started out with anime, that's how I was introduced to drama. Now I'm definitely more of a drama fan, but I still watch probably watch about as much anime as drama. I have a little over 100 complete anime series because I started collecting it earlier than my puny approx 20 drama series, check my list if interested in trading and send me a pm, so many incomplete series I'm always tryin to complete ^^

Romance:

Off the subject a bit, but if you're a fan of pixie-cute Uchiyama Rina, there's a number of pics of her from the Musashi site: http://www.nhk.or.jp/taiga/topic/topic_f31.html

Because they stamp the box as worth $20 :)
If it goes missing then they replace :)
and also the whole order wont be sent at once - partly be cause a lot of it isnt out yet, and shipping will be staggered as they get discs in

i like those old skool anime like:

akira,daddy long legs,mospeada,robotech
mask,kickers,macross,gi joe,

new:
blood the last vampire,

there is many but forget...

A package loaded with anime goods worth $ 20?!? :google: The custom officer must be an idiot or something, a loophole :mrgreen:
Don't they demand to have the package opened?
This trick wouldn't have worked here, they'd demand a receipt from the goods. A fake receipt does its job, but must cautious not estimate the price of the goods too low. Pay less duty :naughty:

im not complaining :)
The custom stamp says software not anime/dvds :D

If i used ups it would say dvds and id be paying a small fortune in customs( about £70 for this lot :crazy: )
