Btw, is Initial D - anime good? i read the manga n i really love em.. is the anime better? Plus, I really love Dragon Ball Z.. Highly recommend them!

As Mixx said, its up to the person's taste. For me, I liked the anime better because you can see the cars driving and drifting and the voice acting is good. I recognize the guy's voice who does Takahashi Keisuke and I like how he voice acts each character he has done. If you seen Fruits Basket, he did the voice for Kyo Sohma (sorry if i spelled this wrong). The art for the manga....I didn't like how they draw the female characters...but the cars are amazingly well drawn. This is my opinion :mrgreen:

ugh, normally I don't mind a few filler episodes, but Naruto is going absolutely no where :crazy2:

there's nothing to watch (nothing new that is), I'm glad I still have around 60eps of One Piece to go..

^ damn right, idk when theyre gonna fast forward until 3 years later.. a 15 year old Naruto is back.. they should stop with the fillers.. cant wait for Yakitate! JP but theyre taking forever to sub it.

oh yeh One Piece 161 & 242 is out now, and the 6th Movie has been fansubbed too :mrgreen: .. one thing i hate about the movie, is the art.. its kinda different to Oda's production. :headscratch: reminds me of (crappy) Speed Grapher... but the movie's pretty good as always. :victory:

Yeah, anime-empire tends to save up 2 episodes and release them together in the same week. I'd much rather have 1 ep/week but hey, who am I? :hehe:

wow there's 6 OP movies? I haven't seen any of them, are the others worth getting/watching?

this sucks, new speed grapher came out but i'm already at my bandwidth limit (again)

i'll just squeeze in another 300mb again :sweat:

yes all the movies are good, imo.. i think the 5th movie is my favorite, its about zoro and more action on him. :mrgreen:

There seems to be a camrip out of the FMA movie, at a whopping 1.4gb too. I'd stay away from it... (how the heck do they manage to do dvd sized rip of it...)

its out now? yeh i'd rather wait for the dvd-rip instead, or with a better raw version.

I'm getting the OP movies 1-5 atm, can't find 6 though since it's not by K-F. any suggestions?

currently watching OP 136, I don't think I ever watched so many episodes of one show this fast - you can be proud of me ;) it took me a whole month to rewatch all of GTO and that's only 50-ish episodes.

Im taking a short holiday so Ive had time to watch Hajime No Ippo from episode 39 to 49 in two days.
There have been some tough matches :hehe: :hehe:
terryb` I think youre convincing me that I need to try One Piece again.

I'd highly recommend Honey & Clover..
its supposedly a shoujo anime
its really romantic and profound .. yet it has a good amount of laughs
better then some of the love jdramas =D .
I like watching it a lot lol. kinda like insight to teenage lif


Well if your looking for something Hip and kinda action packed.. Samurai Champloo & Speed Grapher [gotta love the camera] make good choices.

If your looking for everything jumbled together.. try Get Backers/Kyou Kara Maou.. funny..friendship romance kinda thing.. nice fight scenes

yes yes one piece! hahaha but dont watch the dub, you're gonna lose your faith lol :hehe:

i heard people talking about chopper and vivi's voice in dubbed version, maybe i should start watching from foxbox than in CN =T .. i wanna see what theyre fussin about :headscratch:

Thanx for the recommendations Senator.
Im going to check out Honey And Clover.

Made it to episode 58 of Hajime No Ippo but vacation is over.
Saw 20 ep and the big match with the Champion Date Eiji to tie things off. Ripping!! :hadoken: :hadoken:

@Mixxdreamer:
I almost never do dubs. The voices speaking English can freak me out. :shocked:

I think chopper's voice suits him well, I love it how he starts yelling at people when he gets a compliment :angeldevil:

I know what you mean Eve. Some of the dubbing are amazingly horrible :usuck:

I didn't mind the dubbing for Fruits Basket, but one of the character's voice that was dubbed I think didn't sound good while the rest was pretty good. The monkey character....Ritsuko i think it was. Yea....the english dubbing on him was blah blah :bleh:

Most of the anime on Cartoon Network has horrible dubbing I think too :grumble:

the english dub u mean? lheheh i like it too, hes a softy :mrgreen:

but i think they did a good job dubbing Naruto, i thought its gonna be as cheesy or something, but with Luffy's voice he sounded like an 8 year old, and instead of seeing luffy, my mind is stuck with Gohan kid version from DBZ :sweat:

Nah, I never watched dubs of these shows, but the orginal chopper is cute. it's just great when he goes STFU! go away bastard, leave me alone :hehe:

btw, Naruto 153 was another lousy episode, I remember someone said here that the animation improved? that could be true but 152-153 look shit to me, like an entire new crew has been hired.

lol i just watched the recent naruto, i was happy cuz lee was there but the story was so boring.

speaking of ONE PIECE (again) did you notice chopper's voice was lil sanji too? here are some interesting facts: (if anyone cares)

luffy's age: 17
nami: 18
zoro: 19
sanji: 19
usopp: 17
chopper: 15
robin: 20+

and if anyones keeping track of the english manga, Vol.8 just came out. :mrgreen:

oh yeh, i found this picture from this site

[image]
must be nice to be there. :rolleyes: ::daydreams::

lol, official One Piece store? I can picture you hooked on those machines in the front everyday :hot:

I think Robin is like in the late 20's, since she got the dead warrant at the age of 8? and now 20 years later she should be around 28: she looked HOT in that cowboy outfit, sadly not so hot after (and her um, cleopatra nose :hehe:
I love how Sanji goes crazy over every woman he see: Nami swaaan :inlove: :say_iloveu:

Didn't know that the others are so young though.
