I live in the good ol highest income tax rated state in the country ^^.................OREGON!!!!!!!!! I'm almost finished watching Zeta Gundam, up too episode 43, so I'm willing to check out Double Zeta and other UC timeline shows just so I can fill in the gaps. Thanks for the info, I'll be checking out the sites later today and maybe making an order next week.

Well two questions, 1) Are the HK bootlegs of the ZZ Gundam boxset any good? 2) Is there a place where I can get them cheap besides Ebay?

I still got quite a few of the old 80's Transformer's issues, they weren't great in my own opinion, rather, uuuhhh well it's just hard to describe from what I feel...no words can I suppose. I have every issue 1-12 and the 2 part GI Joe special with Megatron's refit into a tank, of G2, and I thought at times, while it was real good (was in 4th grade at the time too) and stood out, it gave though the Transformers a much more darker, and villianious concept compared to everything else. Alot of the loved characters from the show die in the comic, I think the first death was Mirage when he got blasted right through the neck with a big cannon, no wait it was Fortress Maximus in issue 2, than it was Mirage in issue 4. While the stories were okay, I had trouble with the art, it was rather blocky and dark colored, plus I didn't get use to the necks, instead of having the typical plating to cover the servo's and wires, they just exposed all the wires and mechanical what nots as the neck itself....it was sorta odd and in many of my mechanical art back than had wires 0_o for necks. I've briefly read issues here and there at the comic shop near by for Transformers, but it's so far into it, I can't go back to read issue 1 unless I look around , but I do rather enjoy the artwork.

It's got amazing high resolution when it's over the PC, but playing it just on the playstation and it just seems a bit uuhhh....well yeah, scratchy looking

Hey also, I'm looking for a good site that's got lots of pictures for Gundam SEED, I'm trying to update a dvd cover I first made back in April, and making future versions as well, atleast like close to 8 or so, gotta have a front and back, and a few screen caps to go for each volume. http://www.oywq3.com/seed/ this place has some good ones, but alot of them would require photoshop editing which isn't something I really wanna do. Any help?

I can't view the movies at all, is there some way to download the whole thing without all this buffering with no picture and jumping from 85% complete too 55% and back up to 80% and such, I let it download for a half an hour, I got all the sound but there was no video feed at all...really annoying, wanted to see how the graphics look myself.

Hah, I'm STILL having a similar deal as you guys, only it's with my folks. For years since I've watched anime, dad is always coming in at points when the characters are thinking and he just goes "See, they talk and yet their mouths don't move!" ".....Baka..." "Wha did you say?" "Baka..." "0_o.....what does that mean?" "Baka is b4k4 dad" Anyways, 2 years ago, when 8th MS Team was airing on Cartoon Network, he HAD to sit down and watch it cause he was too uuuuuhhhh incompasitated to do anything else (yep....he's a real roy fokker hint hint) and he watched an episode with me. The first thing he pointed out, "Hey, those bad guys are wearing German World War two uniforms!" I just kind of looked at him going "Yep, they're kind of like the future version of Natzi's dad. They believe in dictatorship over everything, conquering the globe and space, and creating the new superior race called "Newtypes", but yeah, they do look like Germans." "0_o, well yeah, but uh.....why are they using giant robots to fight instead of guns and stuff?" "......uh.....I....don't.....know...." 0_o He still watches a bit of anime with me now and than, but that's about it....he still doesn't like it, but he can tolerate some as long as it's fast paced or reminds him of World War II which he adores in it's history... AS FOR GIRLFRIENDS!!!!....I had one who downloaded DYRL and loved it to death, and was gonna start watching Zero but we broke up cause of differences......

Here's a question, anyone know how the Gundam SEED game is coming out? It's been a while since I heard anything about it.

oav 1 sorta blew, I didn't like the animation style back then, 2 was okay but a bit to angsty, and the motion picture had some rather ill drawn animation for fighting around the beginning and end. As for a series? Nope, I don't believe there ever nor will there ever be an anime series...Terry and gang pretty much hang around King Of Fighters games and Terry's story was somewhat in another playstation game called "Fatal Fury: Wild Ambitions" which was The Fatal Fury crew in CGI animation. There's also a manga series and Terry actually falls in love again dispite his last two dying on him.

It's about freaking time, I'm diffently gonna buy that on November, let's see what day iiiissss that......oh neat it's a saturday, I can probably get that at FRY's if I don't splurdge to much on my October paychecks.

By far the BEST optimus prime there ever will be, that's a buy in my books, and when it comes out, I just may buy two, one to pose, the other to keep in the box, or three, one in box, one to pose, the other in his vehcile mode ^^ I can't wait!

I made an order with them I think on Friday night or Saturday, so let's see if things go down well.

I REALLY need to start watching the series again : / I've seen 1-27 about 6 times now and just need to start watching again REALLY soon.

if some of you guys didn't know, DNA^2 was released to the US some months ago, like maybe 2 or 3 months back, but I believe only one was released, if more have been released I certaintly don't know where. STORY: A girl from the future named Karin Aoi is sent to a hundred years into the past before an incident caused over population on the globe forcing the human race to carry one child each family or face exicution due to this. Karin works as a DNA operator and time travels to help fix the errors in time, by manipulating a person's DNA to either make them better, or much much worse off then they originally were. Karin is now sent back to fix the over population problem caused by a young man code named "Megaplayboy" who impregnanted 100 women before he died, and each child was a male carrying the same DNA coding, which also impregnanted 100 women for each Megaplayboy, and so on and so on for 100 years. Karin finds her subject to only find out, that this young man has a certain problem with women, he pukes his poor guts out when in close sexual contact of any sorts with the oppisite sex. Karin manages to do her job "correct" by shooting Junta with a DCM bullet (DNA Controled Medicene) and is ready to return home with her superior told her, she grabed the wrong bullet. After analysing the data she concluded, she just created the Megaplayboy. Somehow Junta's DNA in now unstable, shifting in and out of his womanizing trance to gut wrenching, puking uncontrolably young self. But once he becomes the Megaplayboy nearly all women fall to his feet beginning for him, but one... This is actually a very nice series created by the same person who did Video Girl AI and many other titles. The story has romance, drama and lots of comedy to keep the viewer entertained. I discovered DNA^2 4 years ago while I was part of an anime club with my friends. We tapped all 15 episodes and saved them for a while before each one of us lost our copies due to some misfourtine we all would come across. But recently I stumbled upon the first 3 episodes on DVD and gave it a chance. While the japanese version is fantastic, quick witted, and very romantic at times, the English counterpart blew more then the dubbing job of Gundam or the early runs of DBZ. I mean THIS SUCKED. I could not stand the way they pronounced eachothers names, Tomoko's VA sounded like she was loud and valley girl like and that's not how the japanese version represented herself at all. Karin's VA sounded cute, but she didn't have enough emotion to her character. And Junta, my god, he's decent in his normal form, but his Megaplayboy version SUCKED, I mean my god I could pull off a better job than that and I'm just an ameature VA doing my own stuff for kicks....I mean damn this guy was horrible, I couldn't even take half the series in English before switching back to Japanese, I mean it just blew! US MANGA CORP needs to stop what they're doing and get a new cast, they just ugh....words really can't describe how horrible this was done. I say buy the dvd's for the pure enjoyment of just watching it in Japanese with English subs, or get the Fansubs, or Bootlegs, they'll be hella better then the US Manga corp version which carries ALOT of swearing from "Damn" to "Dumbass" to "Holy Crap!" and so on.

It just came to thought but could always get the bootleg dvd releases, I heard those are not bad at all...better then the AJ translations (large laughter hit now) <_< anyways, they cut at 44, and personally I'd like to see the whole series before it comes out in the US. But I'm up tooooooo 27 I think, so I'm half way where everyone else is at and that's been since May I think. By the way, what the hell is SEED2? Is it the side story with those Astray MS's?

oh god thats just wrong man...WRONG....though curiousity has struck me there.....

Sucks though, Bandai doesn't want anymore digi subs of the series released on the web since it's coming to the states in 2004. Anime Junkies had to diffently drop the series from further production and downloads. Only way you can get it is if you get yours from another source who subs it themselves, or around the web from who ever lets you download it, other then that, looks like now you'll have to wait till next year to finish it.
