@kt tran: what did you think of the fourth vol. of Ikki Tousen?, just figured out that the 4th vol, is the last, i have the entire series finished. I thought the action was good and the story was ok, hakafu is a hottie. The artwork was superb and the fan service was great. Cool, another complete series i have now in my anime collection.

Haven't watched it yet, but i read vol. 5 of Battle Vixens....so im really hoping the fight between hakafu and Crazily strong girl is going to be a good fight <---where i left off from Vol. 3 of Ikki

haven't read/bought the manga, just skimmed it thru at Barnes&Noble, do you have vol. 4 anime? haven't watched it eh? just finished it, you'll like it. Thought the green pigtailed chick in the anime was hot, but Hakafu was the best. Overall i like it. I gotta check out the manga now, how many vol's though? $10 ea, could run 80 or more depending on the # of vol's. The manga is naughtier though, hehehe

[K.T.Tran]

Last time i checked, the manga was at vol.6

Reading it probably kileld it a bit for me....but yes, lots naughtier

yeah, it might've given some away on the plot, but sometimes the manga is different than the anime, for some reason. besides the given, the naughtyniess, i do actually like the anime art work. The plot was good, and i am curious to know how closely the anime follows the manga, which one came out first? Do you own any of the manga?

Im pretty sure the manga came out first, like my cuz said "anime is based of the manga" and no i don't own any of the manga, unless im completely hooked into the series, like with GTO. For GTO i actually got the anime first or did I....my memory is fading...LoL, but after the 10th dvd of GTO i was really upset with the ending...but now that im on vol.23 for the manga, i noticed that the anime skipped a whole lot sinced it finished b4 the manga did over here.

dang, the ending sucked eh for GTO? w/o giving anything on the plot away, did you like the GTO overall? I thought it was so funny, one of my favorites. The manga is raunchy, but good stuff. Gotta check out Battle Vixens sometime. There is so much anime coming out this month and next month, Mabuharo supposively is out now, and Burst Angel is coming out soon too.

O ya, the ending was but the Overall GTO series being manga, anime, Dorama, and GTO the movie Best i've manga read, best watched dorama based of a comic book and the movie was awesum, and it had Rena Tanaka in it

I blame Cuzn David for giving me the first manga book of GTO for me to read. Got hooked half way in2 reading it

dang, gotta watch the drama now, know that rena is in it, and she is niceee. yeah flipped thru some of the gto manga, different a little than the anime, probably better than it since it has much more than the anime.

[K.T.Tran]

ya, the manga is different than the anime in some areas, like some of the episode from the anime doesn't even occur in the manga and if it did, it occured in the wrong location

Bit disappointed the dorama didn't have my female favorite character from GTO in it....<---wondering if mentioning it is a spoiler for those now considering to watch it

no, you didn't spoil it for me, but now i really want to see GTO drama, rena is in it, and probably some other actresses i might recognize. Just trying to build my anime/j-drama collection, but think that so far my favorite has gotta be "Pretty Girls", for obvious reasons...

[K.T.Tran]

Rena is in the GTO movie......didn't recognize any actresses from the dorama, but grew to like some of dem.

Any1 know where i can find Ranma 1/2 to download?? i know its a very old series, but been wanting to watch this for sum time

you must have DSL.

[K.T.Tran]

@kt,
if you don't mind me askin' how much you paying for DSL per mo.? thinking of getting it sometime in the future. how often does it drop out for you?? that's a bummer dude...

[K.T.Tran]

I signed up within that special time period where they offer DSL for $19.99 for the first year. The lady said after 1 yr its like $40 something, but u can renew your plan.....imma have to ask again what that means. I heard u can keep it where u pay only like $26 bucks or so, needa ask my uncle how that is. DSL is nice no problems so far, cept for when i leave my comp at idle over night jus to get my downloads done, its super slow for awhile. OOHH if u due get DSL, get some virus protection. I got spyware and adware from my friend, he said it should do the trick if u use both of them

[felinewong]

no prob no prob

yeah, DSL is fast! and the price is getting better. I should switch, dial up sucks and still costing me the same as you anyhow. ties up the phone line when someone else needs the line...
leaving your cp over night, does the spyware/virus protect, help against ongoing hackers and virus, i would think the cp is more suseptible to more virus attacks when online constantly...don't know much else on cp's, i suppose anyone could get a cp virus/spyware no matter what, the virus protection/firewall can only do so much...

[Betsy Hayashi]

I'm watchin' Samurai Champloo and, oh man, what an anime !!!!! I'm really lovin' it: the animation, the stories, the characters, the soundtrack... All is really great !!!!!!
I'm watchin' Kyou Kara Maou too. It's good too.

I have all the anime you mentioned as fansubs on VCDs. Ive been collecting a long time.
I adored Mao Tuskai Ni Taisetsu(somedays Dreamers) it was a piece with more depth to the story than usual.
After finishing up with a Korean drama calle Oh! Pil-Seung which was pretty good I needed a drama break.
So I just watched ep 122 of Naruto, it just keeps getting better!!
