The same can be said about shounen, any genre/demographic really.

This total stranger can't possibly be this busty. I'm not sure what I watched, but it was fun. Something about Pet hunters and gravity belts and ambiguous evil government, I'm not really sure. I'm still trying to understand what the plot was about, but who cares, it looked cool! Oh and the action scenes were good too.
A token black guy? In my anime?

There should have been more.
Actually, considering the sheer amount of manga there is, that's not really true. Unless you mean proportionately.

Yes. Sturgeon's Law, etc.

You know, I get the impression that the market is the same size as in America. The difference is that buying one single 24-32 page comic here is the same as buying one of those giant magazine anthologies over there.
Next time you see Flawfuls, ask him about manga.
Man, and I thought when I was reading 5 at a time that was a lot!

Wait, did I accidentally post in the manga thread? Oops, silly me.
Don't worry, there's plenty of manga that are right up your alley.

Eureka 7 AO 10
This was a cool episode. Although Ao's reaction to what was happening was rather overstated, otherwise we got some good character interactions and development during the episode. I also found that the politics angle worked well within the show this week. The Pied Piper back story was interesting as well. There was some nice framing for the action sequences this week as well.

I liked the backgrounds, and it was animated.

I really enjoyed FMWS. Had great music, and that beach scene was memorable. I hear it wasn't as dark as the manga, but I thought it was fine the way it was. The ending was left open ended, but it was satisfying enough. Brought a tear to my eye even though I knew how it was going to end.

I'll just watch the anime.
Remember that the improved sequel, TLR Darkness, is getting an anime later this year.
beach scene? Did we watch the same show?

No wait, you read the manga thread. I hope this filth never sees the light of day.
Oh shit, I forgot I wasn't supposed to reveal the fact I read TLR outside the manga thread.

Oh there is an anime, I guess my assumptions were correct.
mentioning "beach scene" in an anime thread is implying fanservice!
thankfully thats not what it was
don't you mean Aunt Tits?
I think that one is too refined for Chet's tastes. ^^
Well, there's not really any fan service in FMWS so I figured you'd identify with that. I tend to fail at communicating with other people in that regard, since something that appears clear to me isn't to, well, everyone else
I guess I should have said the scene where Takuto sings like a bad ass on the beach

The list on wikipedia shows around 500 active manga magazines, though a lot of them are bi-monthly or quarterly.
That includes magazines that aren't primarily manga magazines but regularly contain manga. (e.g. the computer games magazine Comptique, where Lucky☆Star started.)

Waiting for quarterly manga is so annoying, even when they are just 10 or so chapters. :/
Yeah, I want my weekly 20 page aunt tits.
I liked that ep. Next ep is pretty good too. It's where [MLP:FIM EP 12 spoilers]
after seeing another pony earn hers, Applejack's sister Apple Bloom becomes concerned that she can't find her hidden talent and get her Cutie Mark before going to a party closed to "blank flanks." However, she encounters two other young ponies with the same problem.

Definitely one of the episodes where I wish Viz offered it in HD or 720p, 360 or whatever they use (240 or something?) just doesnt work well for the visual spectacle this episode had. So many good parts and an inspiration speech really made Haru a favorite of this season now.

Taku gets the award for best effort and dedication to friendship. Sacrificing himself for master and Haru. I pray that through someway he didnt lose brain burst or whatever. The anime wasn't really clear on that part, I think.
Black Lotus is way over powered as well as Scarlet Rain. You touch Black Lotus and your hands break, whateven?! lol. Yellow Radio was actually pretty competent there clashing with Black Lotus I enjoyed it

This is true. Damn I loved that series! Vizl icensed it and I started to collect it but they killed it after volume 7
Unforgiveable.
I knew you'd like it!
The ending is one of my favorites in anime. I feel like it ended absolutely perfectly. PERFECTLY.
Oh shit, I forgot I wasn't supposed to reveal the fact I read TLR outside the manga thread.
There's no shame in admitting it. I have TLR and motto TLR on DVD and I will definitely pick up TLR Darkness too. The show is naughty and fun and Lala is adorable. And so are the other aliens

I would have picked up the series by now, but the OVAs have yet to been licensed. Going from the first season directly into the second season without watching the OVAs can leave some people wondering why there are a few new characters suddenly out of nowhere. Then again, I guess I should purchase the available series in the hope that my purchase goes towards licensing the OVAs...

I ought to watch this sometime, just because I like Satoshi Urushihara, generic women and all.

I remember back when it came out, the show had a reputation for "the bath scene" which was a ten minute scene where the characters stripped down and had a bath while a couple perverts watched from a shark tank (imagine getting a nosebleed in a shark tank lol). Back then this was a big deal for us because , hey, bare breasts were practically taboo in cartoons. Plus it had action and cool characters and a bastard of a villain. Plastic Little is just plain fun.
All right, you've convinced me.

I was hoping to actually get to see the farewell party at the end. Instead after the credits I get to see a weird white alien whale jump out of the sea, or clouds, or sea clouds...

Knew about that bath scene before, and how gorgeous the animation was (plus the bodies). You've convinced me, son.

Everyone should watch Plastic Little.
Its one of the DVD's in my collection that I watch way too much. I don't know why I like it so much. that one and Armitage the III.

Nah, I'm good. If I wanted to watch a Urushihara production, I would just watch his hentai.
I liked Armitage. Saw that last year. I guess I'll hop on board the Plastic Little train and watch this as well at some point.
