Welcome to Gaia! ::

holy s**t i spelled it from memory and got it right XD)

on to the topic, HOLY s**t ITS MIND ******** FREAKY!!! O.O

manga wise im on Watanagashi (again, holy s**t i speeled it from memory and got it right >.< though Watanagashi is easier to remember then the full title of Higurashi) and im just starting to watch the anime online (i s**t you not, of the 4 tabs i have open as of this posting, they are, in order:
1st. Pandora Radio
2nd. Gaia/making this thread
3rd. Anime Toplist with list of sites hosting Higurashi anime online
4th. Episode 1 of Higurashi)

so i cant really say much about the series other than its freaking awesome >.< but anybody else heard of it?

Can't say I have.

But then I don't watch really watch anime for the same reason as Zizzy.

Although I will with some amount of shame say that I read
Naruto online.

But not because I think it's good.
In fact I read it for its mind numbing bad-acid-trip-WTF storyline.
Since seriously. Those plots/characters/powers just don't make any ******** sence.
Other then that the last manga I read was propobly
Yu Yu Hakusho a few years back.

But yes. Tabs. I've got:

I honestly don't remember why I opened up that last one.


@Zizzykitty.
I have too ask.
Brothels in Nevada, why?
xD

Ohhey
I like reading about fetishes too.
I think they're fascinating.



It was for some homework I was doing.
In my government class we're learning about lobbying
(Trying to sway a politicians opinion in your favor)
So we were to write a letter to a government official in our area, Senator or Congressman/woman.
I live in Nevada, the only state where prostitution of any kind is legal, so I wrote to one of our Senator's detailing why I think prostitution should be legalized in Las Vegas. xD
(The closest brothel to Las Vegas is about 60 miles away. In Clark County, which covers most of the bottom tip of Nevada, prostitution is illegal.)

I thought I closed all the prostitution related tabs after I finished the assignment but I guess I missed that one.

Eh.
Seemed pretty tame too me.

I think Devilman was more brutal.
with less annoying screaming females,
and more mutilation,ambutation and all around gore.

I need too watch that one again soon.
It was such fun c:

Blah.
Icelands not very much into cencoring things as far as I'm aware of.
We pretty much show it like we get it,
and that still looks pretty damn tame too me.
^^"
(not we get any animes here really, there arent that many channels and as far as I'm aware of the only animes to be shown on Icelandic channels were I dunno...pokémon and that show with the kid with the very-very wierd as all ******** hair with the card monsters.
I don't know what it was called but I gave up on watching it within 10 minutes)

Devilman is still more brutal, not extremely brutal, but it has some nice dismemberment and dissemboweling scenes 8D
But I have a pretty high tolarance level for gore and violance
so I dunno.
Maybe it is?
I'm not the best judge.

the anime your thinking about is called Yu-Gi-Oh! dont watch/read the american bullshit that is "Yu-Gay-Oh1" why?

simply because the first 7 volumes of the manga were (according to Wikipedia) not focused on card battles (hell, they didnt even start till the 8th volume, again, going by the wiki page here, ive only read the first volume of it (and i also own it XD)) but it was still pretty mature in its content and the Penalty Games Yugi's opponents play if they lose are pretty bad ex:

in the first volume, shortly after Yugi solves the Millennium Puzzle, he challenges the school bully to a game, the bully loses and the Shadow Game that he plays basically ******** his mind into thinking a pile of leaves is actually a big pile of money (the bully was a greedy b*****d) and so the next of school comes and all the kids are wondering why the hell the bully is in a pile of leaves thinking its money O.o as far as i know, its unknown if he recovers or not...

yeah, the first 7 vols are pretty dark oh, almost forgot my one of my favorites in vol. 2 biggrin

a news director is at Yugi's school (i cant remember why) but he pays one of his interns to find some kid to bully so he can record it (i think he was doing a thing on bullying in schools or something) Joey (his name in the English versions) comes in and saves Yugi. The director talks and knees Joey in the stomach.
Enter Atem, the Pharaoh inside the Millennium Puzzle (and the one who duels in once the Duelist Kingdom arc starts). Atem only comes out whenever Yugi or his friends are hurt/in danger. Atem challenges the director to a game of something similar to the High/Low game wherein players guess whether (in this case) a the number a die lands on will be higher or lower than a certain number.

The director cheats and throws it at Atem, aiming for his head. Atem puts the Puzzle, point forward, in front of the die, which lands in two pieces, revealing a 1 and a 6, PENALTY GAME TIME!

the director is forced to see everything mosaic.

DAMN YOU DORNKUS!!!! DX

another Shadow/Penalty game is when another is when Souzouji (no english name available) forces Yugi and one of his classmates to sell tickets for one of his notoriously ******** terrible karaoke solos.
Yugi ends up being asked by Hanasaki (the classmate who also had to sell the tickets) to buy one, but Yugi ends up taking all the tickets Hanasaki has, thinking that he'd be saving Hanasaki from being beaten up for not selling any tickets (nobody in their right mind would go to one of Souzouji's karaoke sessions) but, Souzouji (who was in the classroom right behind where Yugi and Hanasaki were talking) beats up Hanasaki for giving Yugi all his tickets.

Now its the day of the karaoke solo bs. Guess who came? Yup, only one there (aside from Souzouji) is Yugi. Turns out that Hanasaki was there too. Only he was in a corner behind a curtain, beaten and barely conscious.

Enter Yami Yugi/Atem (which ever you want).

The Shadow Game is pretty much a version of the quiet game, wherein the first to make a noise, loses. I say a version of it because two "Sound Pierrot"s (link to the page in question, for visual) that dance when their sensors detect a sound.

Souzouji thinks he's got the game made because the jack for the headphones Yugi was wearing are balanced on the edge of a glass, unbeknowest to him that he's still holding the microphone and his heart starts beating faster, which the microphone picks up and in turn, causes the toy near him to start dancing so he loses the Shadow Game and the Penalty Game basically makes it so the only thing he can hear is the sound of his own heart beat...

and instead of giving a tl;dr wal of text, the next i'll just explain what happened and give a link to around when the Shadow Game starts.

A death row prisoner escaped (Prisoner Numer 777, lol), went into a fast food joint, where Joey and Yugi were going to and where Anzu (Téa in the english version) works, ends up taking Anzu hostage, and orders Yugi to bring him some booze and here's the link

and here's result and Penalty Game all rolled up into one link biggrin

s**t, just realized that the first vol is actually the only one that is is really dark (that or the copy that i got is of them in one O.o)

but yeah, as you can see, the first 7 vols. (DAMN IT! NOW IM CONFUSED!! DX) are pretty friggin dark and the American version of Yu-Gi-Oh! completely skipped on them D: who cares if its dark, the children of America can see s**t thats over 9000 times worse than that on the friggin' Internet

so yeah, you can kinda see why i hate American censorship laws D:

i was in the middle of making that massive tl;dr wall of text when you posted which is why i raged a bit >.>



if censorship laws werent so ******** strict we wouldnt have crap like that (just my opinion and my sarcasm detector is working right now...)
