Topic: Anime & Manga (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

They're finally starting to reveal the origin of the arcobalenos in Reborn. Although, not much was revealed in the episode I saw and the alarms in the Milefiore headquarters had gone of before the explanation continued.

Just watched the first episodes of Gundam 00 and Fushigi Yugi.

Already hooked on Gundam 00 (I've already seen some of it though, so I knew i'd like it). Not to sure about Fushigi Yugi yet (It's similarities to InuYasha are apparent, but I just feel like it won't be as good. I could be wrong, but it looks like it's going to have less emphasis on action).

I'm surprised you liked 00's first episode...I thought it was the worst start to a Gundam series I've ever seen. It introduced no one properly and set up remarkably little. Even Victory Gundam, which put the first three episodes out of order, was better, IMO.

Well, I caught most of the first half of the series when it was shown on SyFy, so I'm already familiar with the characters. Maybe that's why the lack of introductions went unnoticed by me.

Also, it could just be for the fact that Fushigi Yugi (which I watched just before) didn't really do anything for me, so it just seemed better by immediate comparison

I know I'm kinda messing up your conversation here, but has anyone seen Angel Beats? Just finished the 13th and final episode, and let me say, I wasn't expecting much from the series. But it was pretty damn epic.
Don't let the first episode put you off though, if your gonna watch. It's kinda confusing.
I think the way it mixes action, comedy and drama into the series is cool too.

It's a great show that more people should see, but I do feel it falls short at times, most of which comes from being too short.

I've just watched two episode of Erin, and I'm intrigued. There seems to be some sort of set-up to a revelation/major character turnaround, but I'm not quite sure whether it will follow through with it. It seems to be aimed at children, which is where my concern is as to the show not going anywhere worthwhile. However, I am liking the slightly Western-esque influence of the art design.

Well, it certainly has some...enthusiastic user reviews, that's for sure. I don't think I've ever heard of it before. I might look into it someday depending on how it turns out.

I don't think he's given a speech yet. If he did I heard it, I just don't remember. If it's noteworthy enough to ask me if I've heard it yet I think I'd remember, so no. I haven't seen it. I'm going to watch episode 15 and on tonight.

It was in Episode 14: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXQYPvo1xLs

It makes no sense, yet it's so inspiring.

Oh that! XD Yeah, I remember that. I was so pumped during that scene. My fists were clenched and I was just sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for Simon to kick butt. Haha.

Well, it looks like I'm not going to get past episode 3 of Gundam 00

For the life of me, I can't find a good source for episode 4 on You Tube (they have a few in other languages, and the only english sub I seen, has only part 2). I have noticed Bandai has put the full episode up, but even though it says it's subbed, there's no subtitles to speak of -_-

Also, I have to use You Tube (360 app), because our computer is old and crappy, and my iPod hasn't worked for the past month (well, it seems completely fine except when I'm doing something online required, when I do so it knocks me back to the home menu after about 5 seconds).

Check if the subs are hiding under the Captions [CC] button at the bottom of the player - some videos use them rather than printing the subs directly onto the video

Why not watch it dubbed? Bandai has some of the best dubs in the business.

Alright guys, tonight is the night. Toonami is back! If you got time remember to tune into adult swim tonight around 9. And even if you don't have time leave the TV running on that channel for the ratings.

I haven't had a good, long marathon session in a long time, but I watched the rest of Toradora! (episodes 8-25) in a two day span and loved absolutely every second of it! Got watery-eyed a few times too, if you know what I mean. Definitely in my Top 10, for sure.

Strongly recommended for RomCom fans!

That's not how ratings work. You have to be a neilson viewer for what you watch to count.

Our family was a neilson family once a few years ago. You get this slip of paper in the mail, and everyone in the household writes down what they watched, when they did it, and how long they watched. The neilson group figures that if one person on their survey watched something, that means about 1000 across the country watched it (I'm not sure if that's their exact conversion, but in general that's how it works). No one is monitoring what you watch on T.V., because that would break your lawful right to privacy (that's why they have to do it this way).

huh. I had no clue. Goes to show how much I know about television. Thanks for correcting me.

I actually prefer dubs when I can find them, but I can't find a single dubbed video at all (maybe the 360's YouTube app is lacking videos for some reason?)

No problem! Also, sorry if I sounded rude in any way in my explination.
