It's OP10, Defuser. But I love that video, surprisingly. It's actually pretty simple, but the dissonance created between the hiding of her face with the hat and the ultra close up makes for an interesting viewing. Aside from the fact that she's crazy hot, and that guitarist's swag level rocks whole foundations.

I really don't know if you should do that, unfortunately.Wandering Son BD 10 - 11
It's great finally being able to watch the stuff they cut out of the TV run. It's a shame that the interview stuff with Yuki was cut out. I really miss this show*adds manga to read list*
Nah don't listen to firehawk12 - the manga is great.>:I really don't know if you should do that, unfortunately.
I can see where he is coming from with some of his points; however I'd imagine he'd enjoy the show a lot more, if he just took it as "for-the-ride" kind of thing, instead of over-analysing every single detail.

I will say, the frequent use of
rape
when Himari used to transform every week?
It's really not. I think Shimura has no idea what she's doing with Nitorin, so she keeps him as empty as possible. With Aoi Hana, she just got bored with the main couple and decided to just abandon them entirely (as opposed to say, just gracefully ending the manga and creating something new).
Sena doesn't mean Meat.
I think its due to coming into something so popular that your almost forced into seeing it in a contradictory pov. I have the same problem with Madoka. I know instead of enjoying it I'll try and find something wrong with it.

She literally calls her meat, after all.

The manga is better than the anime.

No way. After 10 and 11, the anime is better than the manga. As is the the case with Aoi Hana.
I think it's somewhat frustrating that Nitorin story kind of peaked in the first 5 or 7ish volumes, and they really haven't taken his character to many interesting places since then, that said I think the characters are consistently good enough, that I don't tend to fret as much by the lack of "transgender" themes and developments, when the main hook for me is the characters and their interactions.

The problem is that the other characters have stalled. I mean, the latest English translated chapter had to introduce a new character just to bring some form of development back to Nitorin. I don't even know what is going on with Mako or Takatsuki anymore.
I've been totally misundertanding that dynamic then. fuck.

This'll probably be the last one for me until probably 22 comes out. The pacing in this episode is really what it should have been from the start. There's a certain level of tension drama, tainted by comedic presentation. It's how it started early, and it's how this one is turning out, but they really dropped the ball sometime in the middle. Though still, competently done. I really liked
Oh, and those who said before are correct: Shouma is definitely the main character. His seating position in the class proves it so.

how they gave a clear visual cue to the Child Broiler in the flashback though, but I gotta say, that sure was a twist without context. They sure like to do those, make a bizarre and possibly groundbreaking twist before giving it any real context and change the entire mood and feeling.

Where will we get the swords and cars?

We take turns riding each other, of course.
I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask, but since I'd rather not make a thread:
I've never seen/read Akira. Do I watch the movie first or go with the comic instead? I see amazon have both for fairly decent prices. Although getting all the comic volumes will end up being sort of expensive.

Movie stands by itself as a classic. But the manga actually has a plot and makes sense.
Save yourself the time and just watch the movie.
Manga is good, just watch/read both.
I'll probably end up doing this eventually, but funds are tight and there are gifts to be bought. I just can't justify buying both the movie and the 6 volumes of the comic.
Just watch the movie first then.
See if your local library carries the volumes though, if they carry manga at all there's a good chance they carry Akira as well.
Ah, derp. I hadn't thought about the Library at all. Thanks!
Looks like the movie it is.
You don't even need to do that. Unless you're just interested in watching an anime with a super high budget I guess.
I'm just going to have to completely disagree with you there. The prevalent opinion is exactly the opposite. The movie is feels short and very disjointed.
The prevalent opinion is also wrong. More is not better.
What you call short I call concise. It hit all the points it needed to and no more.

I got myself a Cowboy Bebop complete set.
Its my first anime series ever.
Any other cool shows on DVD for a newbie like me?

I don't really want to argue this point. Because it has been a very long time since I've seen the movie. But I never felt the manga strayed into any necessary territory. It all unfolded pretty naturally.
if you like shows that arent too "anime" check out Planetes
maybe Ghost in the Shell SAC, and Gungrave and possibly Gankutsuo
there are a lot of good movies too
Check out Mushishi, Planetes and Kino's Journey.
Definitely check out:
Planetes
Gankutsuou
Samurai Champloo
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex & 2nd Gig.

Yes it's worth every penny. Great series and for some it hits just a tad bit too close to home.
So close yet so far away. Faturdays are the best days.
Burn it to the ground
I think the worst part for me is that I totally recognize where that song is from.
The ending made me feel funny.
where is it from
