That said, poor guy in the 1s ep who had to break his fingers for his remunerations. The remunerations bit reminds me of the sci-fi Ender Series where a genetically enhanced genius-caste were controlled by the planet's rulers by artificially causing them to have OCD remunerations. I think the a girl had to count the threads on a tatami-floor.

Same guy who did narutaru? Consider me interested. Shall check this series out. Thanks for the heads up.

I totally skipped this last season but completed marathoning it today. This was one of the better anime this year IMHO, apart from Gurren Lagann of course. The show takes a 2 episode per arc format, sort of like Cowboy Bebop but with 2 episodes for an arc instead of 1. The setting, a not so distant future where some individuals have been discovered to have super-powers. The existence of these individuals known as Contractors are kept from public. Anyone who has come into contact with one will have his/her memories altered. Contractors are used as nations for covert killing missions due to their unique abilities as well as a convenient globally agreed intelligence blackout on their existence. Each arc follows the missions of Hei, a member of a syndicate in the business of espionage and assasinations and his missions. As the story continues, the characters are thrown into a twisted tale of bleak hope, where nobody is your friend, and around every corner, there is only death. Very awesome series and highly recommended. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darker_Than_Black

It might be blasphemous for me to say that this gundam series is the most awesome to date. If it were up to me, I wished they just made another name for this anime with different looking mecha to distinguish itself from Gundam.

Its funny to mention that GIJOE is anything but G.I. They get all the latest military hardware and the best men.

I hate you.

I like how the trailer shows the town's population and it steadily decreases as it shows ppl getting killed.

Well..i can tell myself that Briareos doesn't have his big ass gun so i won't be getting it. But those seburos look just as good.

For some reason I was looking at set 3 and not 2. >_< Demonbane has always been a butt fugly mecha for me. And i abhor mecha with big kneecap things.

There may be no correct translation but there is definately a correct context. You don't translate something like "I'm gonna drink some coffee" into "I'm gonna go pour this coffee on my head"

Shiki Delta may be appearing in Unicorn....and there's gonna be a Gundam Fix figure on it. http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/gundam_efsf/art...d=512&new=1

thx for that bsu_legato.

Where exactly is the magazine clip for the smartgun stored? It doesn't seem like there is a removable ammo box anywhere.

w00ts! I'm definately getting the Black Serena. Finally! There were no model kits released for it when Prince of Darkness came out.

Abit lacking in detail and panel lines, but otherwise quite cool. For those who are gonna jump in on Dragonar, there might be Dragonar unit 2 and 3 coming out later.

And being man enough to change your name into part of a female anatomy.

On the 1s page its confirmed as a toy, hence no coloring or assembly required. And reijin should be same scaled ie: small.

I think he meant now that he appeared without a mask, the only reason why he'd want a mask is to mask a disfiguring injury, like Phantom of The Opera.

Probably cuz its just a chunk of PVC and not a plastic toy nor die-cast. Definately less complicated than those PVC girls that they make. I have a feeling the 2 modes for the Sonic Diver are actually 2 different figures cuz the wings don't look like they're articulate to do the transformation.

Played Stranglehold and halfway through. Definately a rental only game. Combat is fast and furious and bullet time is pretty much the same as max payne except you get the "Tequila Bomb" counter to do super moves with. Despite the "cool things" you can do in the game, you can never do it as cool and flawless as they showed it to you in the previews. Later levels become too intense for you to worry about style over practicality. You have to stay behind cover and MOVE alot. Be on your toes. Screw style....try to survive. 3/10 for me.

Just thought some people would be interested. GL trading figures. http://www.hobbystock.jp/item/view/HBY-ITF-00000231

So are we waiting for something from Graham or will it be P&C as usual?

Hmmm....i think Karas was meant to be a action flick all the way full of fight scenes and explosions. I wouldn't mind if they never explained the Yurines at all , and had vague explanations instead (like eps 1 and 2) the series would hold enough weight to carry on as some epic eye candy. But even so I think the ideas of Yurine and Youkai are all from Japanese folklore, so you don't really need much explanation (if you're Japanese). Yurine sounds suspiciously like an earth spirit of Japanese lore who protects a defined area of land. Some people pray for its protection against natural disasters and even for bountiful harvests. I guess its possible that when the lands get developed into cities, the spirits are still around. Or another more cliche way of seeing it is Yurine are the collected conciousness of humans dwelling in a city.

Doh....that's what I meant. Sorry. Must be morning daze. Edited.
