Yep, definitely to the point, you ever watch Pet Shop of Horrors? I liked that one too - very distinct and mysterious

I think you can register up til June 15 for $50. After June 15 it's $55. Here's what the website said...

# Badges will be mailed out to your mailing address.
# Mailed out badges are perforated with barcodes for quick check-in scans.
# To be admitted to Anime Expo events, you must have your badge AND authentic badge holder (which you pick up only at the convention).
# The day before the convention is strictly for pre-registration badge holder pick up. You may arrive for pre-registration on any other day as well. Those who register online until June 30th can show up on this day.
# When we say we close at a certain time, we will not be accepting more people. But we will process whoever is still in line as long as it takes.

My brother told me about last year and the endlessly long lines. Sounds like madness. He's so glad that you can register on the internet now.

as long as people don't have to wait in those long lines like last year and the year before, because it was very inconvenient. So, now they have badges mailed out for online registration, and people can walk in once they get their badges? sounds like a dream...lol, cool. I might register, i have sometime to think about it, looks like they raised the prices too...inflation.

Watching Paradise Kiss..... Again.........

What a terrific anime. :dancing: :dancing:

thanks for suggesting it.....triky :bonk:

i left you a message earlier (above) about also checking out NANA episode 1
subbed by Live-Evil...it's in the same vein as Paradise Kiss.

so i just finished H&C, and im glad there's going to be a season 2. I hope it's just as good. :woot:

Just watched 2 eps of Ouran High School Host....my cousin made a big deal out of it. After watching these 2 eps, it seems good, but nothing very spectacular like Yakitate Japan :sweat:

finished Trinty Blood... wasn't as good as I'd hoped, but after watching the first few eps, it was quite obvious that it was a Gonzo work. There's a mis-mash of all the other popular series they've done.

-"flying battleships, lost technology" from Last Exile
-religious portions from Chrno Crusade

These parts are revealed later, so i'll blot it out.

Spoiler — click to reveal

-"subdued powers for redemption" from Hellsing/Chrono Crusade
-"standard armageddon cause by mysterious fringe group" scenario from numerous anime series.
-betrayal by close ally's
-double crosses,
-female no listening and causing a death,
-most of the popular anime cliche's are there.

last exile was rather interesting but sorta fell apart towards the end

as for trinity blood, i stopped 3-4 eps into that one :sweat: was wondering when i'd continue - guess it'll be a while b4 i continue, lol
