[General Discussion] General Questions

So looks like the Japanese name is 光路郎 or Koujirou.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The 7 volumes in length leads me to suspect it's Japanese name is Koujirou which is a really fucking generic name for a manga and doesn't turn up in many search results.

Unfortunately there are no pictures to verify. A pity. But 7 volumes! You never know.

Additional Spam:
Oh excellent, Pyocola! Just as I post you pretty much confirm my suspicion. =DDD

There's nowhere I can't reach.

YES!! Thanks, guys! That is exactly the manga I am on about. I do remember someone mentioning to me that it wasn't very long as far as manga volumes go, but 7 volumes? Dang, that's short...

"Koujiro", heh? Must go look around for this, though I guess if you guys can't find one, there probably isn't an English version around anywhere.....

One of the first mangas I came across, and though I couldn't read it, I could kind'a get what was going on just through the pictures alone. It seems to be a comedy manga, yet has a few heart-warming stories in there too.

Thanks again, Qwarky, Pyocola and Acer!!




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

Well from the links I gave you, you can buy it all in Chinese or Japanese. Choose your poison. It's unfortunate that it's not in English though since this search and your description have gotten me interested.

I'm glad we could be of some help though. =)

Good day fellow Animespoters,

Have you experienced any problems with skipping or very huge pixels that flood the picture in any of your New Retail anime DVDs so far? The DVD in question is the Geneon Release of Fushigi Yugi DVD # 3, which half of episode 16 is unplayable, and ALL of episode 17 is skippage from hell, even the player freezes – all three DVD players in my house. :3

I think this is the very first time I’ve ever experienced huge problems with a DVD, but I’ve contacted the vendor, Rightstuf, and they are willing to exchange this DVD for the same title, so that’s cool. I’m sure that over the millions of anime DVDs produced, perhaps a very small fraction of them will have some errors – which is a fact of production, or the disc is just not properly finished in the factory, or whatever the case maybe, so I’m not freaked out – yet!

Now, switching the topic over to anime opening themes and ending themes, how does the creation of the OP theme come about? Does the production team or producer, or whomever it may be, contact a currently hip artists to do the OP/ED theme specifically for that anime series, or, does the production team already choose an existing song that is already released on the market and contact the artist/agent/recording studio – or basically who ever has the rights to the distribution of the song to be used for the themes?

Thanks for your responses.

How ya doing, buddy?

I think it depends on the anime. If it is something popular (say detective conan) then they would use a oiginal song from a popular artists other then that I am not sure.


ps: I don't think this next question needs it own thead so I'll ask here.

Just recently the subbing group i used to go to download detective conan died. I used to always got and watch the newest subbed eps (a conan) so can somebody sagest another subbing group that is working on this series?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Well the one place that I know that they are still doing Conan sloowly goes by the tag of [DCTP]

Their website is located http://www.kaizoufansubs.net/
#472 is their latest release which is today

Quality is very good, and the translation is fairly accurate. Give this one a shot eh

Go to Tokyotosho.com and search for "Detective Conan" and you should get results of various subbers! Hope this helps~

FELIPE NO

I once heard this quote in an anime or maybe a movie:

"It is not the amount of times we see each other that's important, but how many times we think about each other." (While saying permanent goodbye to a friend)

Now, I forgot where this quote was from. Could it be that it's from Full Metal Alchemist the movie? Any ideas?

EDIT: Oh, don't mind me: It's from Kingdom Hearts 2 (Hayner)

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I'm getting back into anime after a 4.5 year "break."

I've already got a massive of list of series' downloading, but I want movies and OVAs as well. What are some good anime movies and OVAs?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Millennium Actress is a must from the movie side, as is the wonderful Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo

I'm not that knowledged on recent OVAs, but Aim for the Top 2! Diebuster is great, just be sure to watch the first Aim for the Top! first, also known as Gunbuster.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Gunbuster is amazing and Diebuster is also wonderful. I highly recommend them.

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

Little question here, even when I am not sure if this forum would be the best place to ask, I hope someone knows.

I want to buy the entire Gankutsuou series (Count of Monte Cristo) on DVD but before going ahead and buy each one of the DVDs, I was wondering if there were like a box-set or collectors edition that contains the entire series in a single pack. That or if someone knew if there are at least plans to release such things in the close future.

I already know there are many website where people sell their own full-series packs, but I prefer to stay with an official one...

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

The Gankutsuou box set (released as an artbox + volume 1) is currently discontinued, so I think you might have a hard time finding it from normal vendors like amazon, rightstuf or deepdiscount DVD. If you really want the box, you can try looking on eBay -- otherwise, you're better off buying each of the discs separately.

Random people (on shady sites) selling the complete series usually hawk bootleg goods, but I suppose you knew that already. ;(

I was speaking idiomatically.

Really? well that's a shame.

Thanks! I guess I beter get started on finding each of the DVDs -_-'

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Hey, guys. Something that's been bothering me. I'm sure most of you have heard of Gutsoon! Entertainment and their manga division Raijin Comics. You've probably also heard that they went belly up a few years back and pretty much disappeared.

I was wondering, what happens to all the manga that they had licensed? They were publishing City Hunter, Fist of the North Star, and Fist of the Blue Sky among others...I'm guessing the reason why no one else is publishing the english language editions of these mangas is because the license still holds despite the company going out of business?

Is there no chance that someone else can get these mangas out to english readers? Can't the original (Japanese) publishers do anything to get them back?

Anyone know what's going on here?

FELIPE NO

What English fansub groups are still out there subbing Gurren Lagann? I know it's licensed now, but the thread in anime discussion is still going on strong and I'm stuck at episode 14 :/

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I'm in the same situation as Krazy. Although I haven't gotten up to episode 14 yet, it's only a matter of time :3

I read the post by Merv, but I have no clue what sites are good for raw files and where to get bss-anon sub files.

Most amazing jew boots

For Gurren Lagann subs, I just go to either the IRC channel #BSS at rizon, or I go to their google groups site here. You probably will have to have a gmail account or something, but shouldn't be hard to get that.

As for Raws, I just go to Tokyotosho.

I hope this helps...

edit: the google groups site seems to have .ass files for episodes 16 and up.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hi everyone!
I'm a little ashamed but.. I'll ask that question. I started watching a show, few months ago. (obviously, an anime). it was, if my memory's right, based on a game. The first episodes went like... some school guys and girls got trapped by some evil book and were sent into an other world... and the guy fights monsters with a sword that he takes out from his girlfriend's heart. But unfortunately... I forgot the title of that anime.. so if it rings a bell to anyone of you... PLEASE! I BEG YOU, tell me

P.S. Sorry for my poor english, but i tried!

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

If it looked anything like this, and that sounds very much like what i think it is

This is from "Shining Tears X Wind"

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

YES SIR!! THAT'S IT!!! Thanks a lot Aku!

You're pretty good by the way!
My description was a litlle.. blurry and ugly!

I was speaking idiomatically.

Sorry, totally noob Naruto question. Thought I'd ask here since the official thread has been closed......

I don't get this Hokage system.....Naruto's father was the Fourth Hokage and Tsunade is now the Fifth. So which was that old guy from before (who was in charge before Tsunade)? Shouldn't he have been Fifth and Tsunade Sixth? Or am I totally missing something here.....?




What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

The old guy was The Third. When Naruto's father became the Fourth, the Third was still alive. But when the Fourth died, the Third stepped back up.

Really? Well, I guess that kind'a makes sense....

Sorry, I was under the impression that there wouldn't be a new Hokage unless the current one died and had to be replaced. So it's not a lifetime post then? Oh I see, so it's something like an elected official, a president or a prime-minister? Got it.

Thanks!

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Yeah something like that, usually the strongest one! But not only strenght is needed. Wisdom, experience,etc.
