I attacked the book store the othere day, looking for my Trigun 8, Suikoden III 9, Fullmetal Alchemist 6 and Novel 2 and was disapointed when they only had Trigun and FMA 6...but on a bright note, i did go accross the street to gamestop and find(i know its not anime but) A Bug's Life for 6.99 and the box for the 2nd StarWars Trillogy(ep 4-6) for 29.99 both where used, but buy used i mean, some one bout them at Walmart, made a copy of them, and then sold them to gamestop, so basily both are brand new

Has anyone read the manga? Is it better or longer than the TV series, I am only on the 3rd disk of the series, but so far I love it.

Manga == not near as good, but worth a read if you can pick all 8 volumes up cheap, and when i say cheap, i got it for about 45 for all 8, that is a good price, it wasnt great, but it was worth a read.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

There are 2, the 8 Vol one is the only one avalable in the US in english, you can pick up the 2 vol one which is MUCH better at Box, i accually found and ULed it there, but the 2 vol one is more of the shoujo verson of the story, the 8 vol is like the Shounen story. The anime is kinda like if you combin the best aspects of both mangas into one story. The 8 vol manga came in 91, and the 2 vol came with the anime,

I made a small (pricey) raid to my friendly Bestbuy/B&N 259 locations the other day, but i picked up some good shit!
First off all, i got the Escaflowne Box set and the starter for Eureka 7 at Best buy (29.99+39.99+tax(9%)) ~$80 T_T...that finaly got me a legit copy of Esca, and the Box, T-shirt, Manga, DVD, and OST for E7.
Then i went over to B&N and Picked up my finaly copy of Scrapped Princess manga...which kinda depressed me, because it wasn not near as good as the series and had points that they brought up earlyer and could have played more off of, but didnt...but not a waist of time...Anime>Manga in the case...but not bad. (Sorry walking ad for BONES here(loved everything they have put out that i haveseen to date ^^;

o.o;; double posts???...there at one point was a post between here...other wise i wouldnt have posted :x

Well, today i found that the gamestop near me(houston tx, 1960@249) is selling new anime fore 5-10 a dvd(and box starters are like 12-15) but they where having a special by 3 for 10 of the $5 dvds, so i couldnt resiste...
And i got The last dvd for WHR finaly filling that box up! Sin special edition dvd, and Millinnium Actress because i didnt have enough money to buy any more than 1 set, but they had all of Scryed and Rune Soldier and i think they had all of a few others, and at that price i dont care about the box,
I also picked up the Best of FMA soundtrack the new .hack//infection Novel that follows the game i think, and the FMA profiles book. I have on order at Waldon Samurai Champloo V2 and Evangelion: Angelic Days V1.
on another note none anime but still awsome. i picked up The first 3 dvds of Avatar: The Last Air Bender (walmart $28!) and the first 2 seaons of Futurama for $20 each at walmart as well. Thne at another gamestop i found Malcom in the Middle first season on dvd, and picked that up.
Also i will be picking you Dark Angle from The gamestop i went by today for $45 for both seasons......i have way too much money to be blowing on this stuff. thats why in ill be capping it very very shortly! i think ;p

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Thankfully, I know I can trust Geneon to work with one of the better VA companies, like Ocean.

Sorry to tell you, if you didnt already know you just ordered a bootleg dvdset anything that has chinese subs or is 'free' or '0' regoin is 95% of the time going to be bootleg. and i can assure you right there, what you are getting is not Geneons release.

Japan is NTSC, its Europe that is PAL ^^ R2 for some reason is split like that...so you could get the R2 if your dvd player played it...

$25 Star Ocean EX Dub/Jap - The story wasn't what I expected but I am a huge SO2 fan so it deserved a purchase.


I was thinking of getting Fate/Stay Night vol1 with the box. vol2 came out yesterday. Does anyone know what the dub is like? Im sure they pulled it off well. After all, it's always Geneon that has a batch of talented voice actors like David Lucas and Crispin Freeman.

Yeah, but Geneon has recently been outsourcing dubbings to Asia.
Yeah, i know it makes a lot of since, an American company buys it and sends it back to Asia, to be dubbed in English. This is just from what i have heard from people that work in the dubbing industry.
They are doing this because they dont seem the profit margins enough because people arent buying enough anime, so instead of raisint the price to make to where even less people would buy it, they drop the quality, so they a better chance of hitting a profit.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Ive Been a busy poor guy recently!
WELL! Ive picked up just A FEW DVDs.
I've picked up:
Chevalier Vol 1 Prerelease, in January. If you haven't seen this show, GO watch it! its wonderful!
Phantom Memory Kurau Vol 1 Prerelease, in March. This show its awesome, there are some really cool fight scenes. The first episode reminded me a lot of Ghost in the Shell, its by BONES(meaning its a must see).
Ergo Proxy vol 2. THIS SHOW, WOW, its getting better and better!
Manga list:
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, yeah i know, i picked it up just to have it.
Fullmetal Alchemist up to Vol 12. Gata love this manga, its much better than the anime.
Also picked up Vol 4 of Evangelion : Angelic Days. This manga is deffently interesting, if your an uber fanboy of the series you might not like it or you might love it. It might just be your looking for more eva STUFF(guilty here). I enjoy it.
