At first I was expecting it to be, but I really did love it. The fights were well done, it was funny as hell, and wasn't bad in comparison to the manga (Though the anime's ending was forced, which saddened me)
Out of all the anime I've seen, i gatta say it breaks down like this:
Love: Neon Genesis Evangelion Ghost in the Shell (All seasons) Paranoia Agent Akira Cromartie High School Tenjho Tenge Tenchi Muyo (All seasons) Digimon (Season 3) Ouran Highschool Host Club Tokko Kiddy Grade Armatige the 3rd ZOIDS: Chaotic Century (all seasons)
Like: Chobits Ah! My Goddess (all seasons) Digimon (Seasons 1 and 2) Dragon Ball (all seasons) Naruto (all seasons) Samurai Champloo Syuki Reload Kenshin/Samurai X Full Metal Alchemist FLCL Final Fantasy Unlimited Disgaea Gundam (Wing, G, and Seed) Love Hina Blood+ Sailor Moon (All seasons) Andriod Kikider Outlaw Star ZOIDS: Zero Century Yu-Gi-Oh (Season 0)
Don't Mind: Serial Experiments Lain Card Captor Sakura Devil May Cry Pokemon (First season) Wolfs Rain Witch Hunter Robin Melencholy of Haruhi Suzumeha Blue Gender Detective Conan Gravitation Bleach Inuyasha Baki the Grappler Cowboy Beebop
Hate: Fruits Basket Digi Carat Digimon (Seasons 4-5) Pokemon (most any after the first) Cyborg 009 S-cry-ed ZOIDS: Fuzors Yu-Gi-Oh Yu-Gi-Oh GX

WHOOOO! I just soloed and took down the Monodevil himself! ******** White Monoblos would always win VIA clocking me. Not this time. Took me 45 ******** minutes of pure adrenalin split second reflexes, and tons of items to take that ******** down. Now just Tigrex and the Green Plesioth and I'm done with my quests up to 4 stars. Then on to an area where I can get the last item I need to upgrade my Eager Cleaver. Problem with that is, Tigrex. If you haven't heard, he's the poster boy of MHF2. He rapes your soul. I got close to killing him by myself, but never could do it. Even on a team with archer back up. That was ridiculous. Now I need to grind and make money so I can upgrade my Ceanataur armor so I can have a good one with the Artisan skill and other good blade master skills..

Back on the subject of anime, I recommend you go grab a torrent of the GTO manga. It was hella ********' good.
And Rahxephon was kinda like Evangelion. The people who made it wanted to make an anime that neared to complexity of it, and they made Rahxephon. Which, was really good. No real manga for it. They had some animanga, but it was really lacking compared to the anime. They took the anime and compressed it into 3 volumes about average length.

Yea, i'll check that out. I also have to get around to watching Excell Saga and a few others.
On the manga front, I'll be sure to check that out as well. I think manga is the one thing that lacks the most diversity in my collection: though i am nearing 100 volumes, its mostly due to having big series (Chobits, Love Hina, Full metal alchemist, Tenjho Tenge as examples) but with some series, I just gatta have the manga.
Minus Naruto. I'll read it online, and granted, it's nicer then watching an episode that has DBZ or Inuyasha syndrome, where they have episodes filled with just smack talk and showing off their power (which is over 9,000 for most), or spend countless episodes just wandering aimlessly or with a very boring objective to them. But still, just the way the manga has to break up the action, does kill the fights, and is where the anime (when they do actually fight) tops it. Though, i gatta say, the last chapter I read shocked me
Jiraya dies!!!!
but I wont buy any of them past what i got now (numbers 1-3)
Well, Louis is nearly done with Asuka, then he has to color her. He is also working on a new poster for me. Posted for Cosmona and Loki, now awaiting a Twins post

Well that sux, during my month of absence, Auctoritania no longer exists on NationStates
So yesterday, I hung around town a bit with Izumi, Dustan, and Dustans girlfriend, and some funny s**t happened. So, our adventure started at my place (Like most tend to do). We left my place, armed with one of my knives, Dustans boken, Dustans BB Gun, and money. Our first objective was to get to BK, so as we made our way there we were yelling at passing cars, shooting street signs, and playing 'pass the boken' on the way there. Once there, they ordered some stuff (I wasnt hungry), and then we marched down to the game shop. Izumi was getting a bit paranoid over the time (He didn't want to be late getting home), so after a boring search of the game shop, he left for home. (I picked up Super Dragon Ball Z and a new controler) and so the three of us left decided to hang around the area for a bit.
I bought everyone some soda (Not that dustan needed any more caffine) and we started to walk back to my place. That's when I realized, I had left my s**t atop the vending machine. Dustan then bolted off to go check, while his girlfriend and I just walked back over (I need to remember her name X_X) And as we got there, not only were my things still there, but some other person had a blond moment, and left a frozen pizza and a bottle of pepsi on the machine. We grabbed it and took it with us.
And finally, as the adventure came to an end, I decided to piss off everyone I could that had little kids, and yelled at the top of my lungs various swears.
And now, to Super Dragon Ball Z. What is there to say about this game, besides if it wasnt for the fact I only paid $10 for it, I'd demand my money back? This game fails, hard, yet is still better in some ways then Tenkaichi. This game plays like Dark Stalkers meets an RPG. You can either play with a normal character, or you can make a custom one (Which you need in order to unlock stuff), and level him/her up in order to actually gain your moves to use. And what I actually find kind of nice about that, is the fact that the moves are done more Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter style, where you mainly due a sequence of directional buttons then another button. But the rest of the game play is kind of... lacking. Sure, there's a decent roster of characters from the get go, with plenty more to unlock, but when the longest combo I've ever seen (which I did) was only 4 hits, it saddens me. But hey, it's still better then Tenkaichi.
As for my controler, if the damn thing wasnt smaller then just one of my hands, it'd be perfect. It's got rumble, turbo, side grips, and a button combonation program system, where I can program a combonation of buttons to just one button. Haven't tried it out yet, namely due to I don't have a real use for it, but still, the option is kinda interesting.

Holy ******** dude, we must have just missed you, we were over there yesterday as well. If I'd have know, I would have brought my quarterstaff and stuck around for a fight
Well, just got finishes watching Blades of Glory, and damn, that movie was funnier than I thought it would be.

My ex kinda killed the movie for me, so i don't really get into it.
Speaking of killing (sorta, not really), I am all done this semester of classes! I go in next tuesday to figure out what classes I'll be taking for next semester (which starts at the end of the month)
Ryu, have you ever heard of The Birthday Massacre? They ******** rule, you should check them out if you have the time.
Can't wait to see Kyosuke's reaction to Nergal and Rosellus, both furries, or the fact that Guraha has been revoked as a teacher due to his age and placed into their classes as a student. Guraha is only 17 so that is the excuse as to making him a student. And if you are alright with it, seeing as Kaguya is the new Headmistress under the identity Olivia, I was thinking of having her appoint Tengu as the new coach.
