treatment

especially in the Movies and Other Anime sections.

It's really stupid and quite board-fugly to have more than two or three sticky-threads in a section.

I highly suggest you guys move some of those sticky-threads to the FAQ-forum and just make one sticky-label reminding people to check the FAQ-forum. Or eliminate some of the low-traffic sections and make one single-forum dedicated to these sticky-threads.

you know, guys (and girls, if any), regardless of what we all think of what happened or not with Guld's arc, one thing is pretty evident in this thread:

We all so much love the Macross Plus story. So much so that varying smart-level interpretations of the intelligent drama-aspect of the show completely engulfs all of us in a rather intelligent and civilized manner of discussion.

Kudos to you all and to Macross Plus for being such a powerful and premiere Macross title. Keep up the smartness.

You know, I really don't think it was even rape, but rather jealous rage/assault that was committed or gonna be committed by Guld during the flashbacks.

I mean how can Guld proceed to rape her when Isamu was present in that room and scene? I doubt that Isamu was socked cold by Guld and Isamu would've killed Guld then and there if rape were to have happened. And how can Myung forgive and forget or even be at the same place with Guld after a rape? That's alot of traumatic stuff that cannot be forgotten nor forgiven.

Oh, well.

I still think Isamu dying in M+ would have been the most monumentally stupid act of story-writing.

Ok. I absolutely adore the japanese-dubbing on Mahoromatic and I've basically finished Maho-2 already some months ago.

Nevertheless, since this is a Region-1 release and it's been a long time since I listened to the english-dubs of Mahoro....

This is the first time I'm watching Season-2 in it's english-dubs and it's kinda meh-to-ok quality, although it's an all-star bandai/pioneer voice-actors cast, imho. Oh, uhh, they also kinda screwed up the pronounciation of the "Minawa" name, i.e. Mee-nawah instead of Mi-na-wah.

I need to brush up on the english-va names, but I did recognized a few english-vocals and presented here in their familiar anime-titles characters:

-- Rem/Shinobu as Mahoro

-- Keitaro Urashima as Suguru

-- Spike Speigel as Ryuga sensei

-- Faye Valentine as Saori sensei

-- Minoru Kokubunji as the boy-android Feldrance.

I haven't figure out who the english-vocals on Minawa, yet, tho it's at the tip of my tongue right now.

Oh, uhh, yeah. Did I mention Season-2 is very heavy on fan-service compared to Season-1? And it's not just Mahoro's?

hehehe

welp! Got home and found Maho-2 r1-package waiting for me. Damn usps for delaying it since I know they had it in since last week, but didnt deliver for some odd reason.

Anyway, here's what the package-contains:

It doesn't contain those gnarly-kewl character mini-standups stuff like the season-1 r1-packages were including.

Well, just an fyi to mahoro fanboyz. :)

well, i just bought the WS-version for +ACQ-15 at the local wal-mart about an hour ago.

:)

The sad thing is I still haven't found the FLCL boxset edition.

Sadly, no flcl-boxset unless you buy it from online, i guess. Even suncrap don't have the boxset on retail.

FLCL disc-3 (non-boxset) is out on Software Etc, Electronic Boutique, and GameStop stores for $24. You might ask the clerks of these stores if they have any boxed-version left.

well, i just bought the WS-version for +ACQ-15 at the local wal-mart about an hour ago.

ohhhhh, the sequel.

nope. haven't seen it, yet.

sam goody and suncoast ( i think they're sister-companies or something) both have sucktacular pricing. Selling it for $30 is highway-robbery considering the poor job Manga did on the release, i.e. poor vhs-quality video-transfer and exclusion of the excellent english-dubs of the OVA.

You should've gotten it from Bestbuy (ironic since I think bestbuy owns those two stores above), CircuitCity, Gamestop, Electronic Boutique, and Software Etc because they all sell it for $20 or less.

--treatment--

Yes.

Disc-2 was kinda meh on their serious/action-episodes, but was totally rockin' on the comedy-episodes. Haven't received Disc-3, yet.

The english-dubs was meh, even after two discs. Gotta listen to it in Japanese-dubs.

I just completed Dai-Guard last week and am prolly gonna write my review this weekend.

The english-dubs gets better in the later discs and this is one show that ADV was totally successful in being converting to American-centric humor and situations.

The ending was kinda meh, tho.

--treatment--

It's been kinda tight for quality-releases this year, tho I'm fairly impressed with ADV so far.

This year's been pretty good for ADV title-releases. Not only that, but the quality of the ADV english-dubbing had dramatically improved on most of the titles! A few of their better dubbed releases this year:

-- CatGirl NukuNuku

-- DaiGuard complete

-- Excel complete

-- Rahxephon

-- Mazinkaiser

-- Sakura Wars (ova and tv)

-- Colorful

-- Full Metal Panic (borderline-dubs, but great new show)

-- Voices of a Distant Star

-- Steel Angel Kurumi 2

If only they'd hurry up and release Azumanga Daioh and Nadesico-movie this year.

I also like Pioneer for Chobits and Mahoromatic dvd's and OST's. The boxsets for El Hazard and re-release of Tenchi OVA single-discs were good, too.

Bandai's best title so far this year (imho) is Please Teacher and Love Hina Again's release is scheduled next week.

props to Funimation for completing Fruits Basket release and TokyoPop for GTO. Tho TokyoPop's pulled a stupid with Initial D.

Much thanks to SynchPoint for finally completing FLCL. Now if only they can speed up on their other good title "I'm Gonna be an Angel".

Much thanks to VIZ for finally releasing Maison Ikkoku on r1 dvd!

Invision has quite a bunch of very neat features. Just check your board-settings options.

Since an otherwise good thread (the collections-thread in Toys) was recently closed, I like to understand if the new board-settings such as:

Do you wish to view images in posts, such as smilies and posted images? YES/NO

is broken already or is really not that effective of a board-feature at all. Especially for 56k dial-up members.

Just wondering about this.

--treatment--

It's pretty good for a 30-minute short.

but it's really short.

hopefully the artist does more. it has alot of potential.

the one and only...

treatment

there can be only one....

hmm. i'm a poor bastard compared to you guys.

my current yammie-inventory:

1/60 = 8 (two strikes, two supers, two cf's, and one max-1a & hikaru-1a.

1/48 = 1 (one hikaru-1a)

plans for the next year or two or three:

1/60 = rest of the line

1/48 = rest of the line

1/72 = rest of the line

detailed, sorta. click for bigger images.
