I just don't if to be happy or sad now.  Getting the remaining raws will be a pain.

Well, I was proven wrong.  Apparently, the Kashimashi torrents are still up on Doremi's scarywater tracker- only KnKF took the ones on their tracker down (I'm very surprised at this- I thought Scarywater stayed on top of this stuff pretty well).  The Keroro torrents are also still on Doremi's scarywater page.  (In case Scarywater does catch on and removes the torrents, Doremi also has another tracker.)
Ladholyman also said on the forums that the subbing will continue until he runs out of resources, which I'm assuming means until he finishes subbing the R3s that he has.

As far as i know this is not a yaoi anime 
Period.

And Ichigo Marshmallow wasn't hentai, but I'm sure you can find numerous fanfics out there that involve these severely underage girls involved in all sorts of activities (and I'll bet some of those will even be yuri).  The point I'm trying to make is that people have imaginations and will often put characters from shows they enjoy into situations that entertain them.  It's not hurting anyone, so it doesn't really matter. 

Honestly, I'm not even a yaoi fangirl.  I don't read fanfic.  I have watched some shounen-ai (technically yaoi, but no actual sex scenes) anime.  Some of it's crap, some of it's good.  To me, it all depends on the story it's telling.  The plot and development (both plot development and character development) within the anime are the most important things, and those can be either good or bad in yaoi, yuri, or ordinary shows.

I do think most of us here are huge fans of Yaoiboy though.

I also like Clamp, or at least, what I've seen of their stuff.

I'm not sure if Doremi will continue it.  I think they'll probably drop it, because I believe they use Scarywater tracker.  The only other project that Doremi's done that's gotten licensed is Kashimashi, and the torrents for that were hosted on Kaze no Koe's tracker (and have, in fact, been taken down since the license has been confirmed).  So my guess is that Doremi will drop, once ADV officially announces the license.

Well, I think most girls are only interested in yaoi when it's two hot guys.  Plus, I've always found it amusing when guys mock girls for being interested in yaoi while the guys themselves drool over yuri.  It's the same thing, just with opposite genders.

I was wondering if Monster might fit the bill.  That's one of those series that I downloaded but never watched.  I'll get around to it some day.  I have heard great things about it.
And yes, Madhouse was the production studio behind both Death Note and Monster.

Poor Tsubie.  I hope the same thing doesn't happen this year.

Since this is sort of the 'post whatever' thread, I decided that I should mention how pleased I am that ADV appears to have licensed Keroro Gunsou.  They haven't announced it yet, but it's almost definite.  (And if anyone hasn't seen it, make sure to check out ADV's site.  Preferably today, because I don't know how much longer they'll leave it like that.)

I don't want to make anyone feel bad here, and I'm not complaining, but that comma bothers me less than the semi-colon thrown in between "will be banned" and "from the forums".

It did it again...I have not the mental capacity at this hour to be witty multiple times.

Lol, I'm assuming this means that the system logged you out again before you could post?
If that's the case, do you keep the box checked that says something like "Stay logged in" or something to that effect?  If not, make sure it's checked.  (You will still be able to log in/out as normal.)

Aw, sorry to hear about the postponement of your awards ceremony, Tsubie.

Tsubie, no idea how long Ghost Hunt will be, but the wiki says that Yamato Nadeshiko will be 25 episodes.

Draconis, the first season was subbed by at least Ayu and Shinsen.  I know Ayu has a batch torrent out for it, Shinsen probably does as well.

And besides, the "S-group" is capable of producing some very good work.

Completely agree with you there.

*runs and hides*
Any others I should be for warned about?

I think what makes and breaks the show is the fact that each episode can introduce new characters and then leave them without saying goodbye.
while we can't build that relantionship and wonder what will happen to them next , I like the change of pace .
to me it means there is no set end ...Asupervisor here read the DN manga and while itsgets better and better and the plot always turns in all directions, you can't help but know it will eventually come to the end .
but because of popularity and 2 live actions I can prob bet safe that DN will win in the episode count category

For the first part, check your PMs. 

As for the part about DN, DN is expected to be 37 episodes, although I don't know how many live actions will be made.  I'm assuming Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori will be 26, as the original Jigoku Shoujo was.
The only thing about there being no set end is that things start to go stale after a while.  I was so relieved during the first season when they introduced the little girl and her father, because I knew that we had finally reached some sort of an over-arching plot.  The episodes before that were very predictable to me.  I hate predictability.

Past L-E Projects / Re: Death Note Poll 1: Light vs L

« on: November 14, 2006, 08:48:47 am »

Well, since you voted Light, I voted L, and Tsubasa, is most likely the only other person who voted so far... probably her? 

I actually thought she may not have voted yet, especially because I expected her to vote for L.

I go for Light as he entertains me again. Although I am definitely a Yamaguchi Kappei fangirl dating back from the beginning of Detective Conan anime series.

Wow, a complete surprise.  Weren't you talking about how much you loved L in the other thread?  I really expected you to vote L on this one.

Yay, Light isn't as hated as he seemed to be (judging from the other thread)!

See, bobby's reason for not picking Light is the exact reason I picked him.  He entertains me more than L does, at least at this point in the series. 

*keepergirl wants to know who voted for Ryuk

Wasn't this topic locked?

It's not in future projects because L-E will not do this project since the R2 will (/is supposed to) have English subs.  Hence, the "past projects" subforum and Gum's many posts stating as much.

Yep, I'm also watching Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori.  While it is a darker anime, I actually think Death Note is the overall darkest.  Way more death and insanity disguised as normalcy.  The only thing that bothers me about Jigoku Shoujo is that it's so episodic.  The first season took quite a while to get down to a multiple episode plot.  I'm hoping this season doesn't do the same.  With episodic shows, there's no way they can leave you at the edge of your seat until the next episode in the same ways shows like Death Note and Ghost Hunt do.  I still do very much like the series though. 

Overall, I prefer series like Ghost Hunt because of the creepiness factor.  The unknown is much scarier and creepier than the known.  With Jigoku Shoujo, you're almost always 'in the know.'  With Ghost Hunt, no one's 'in the know' except for the writers.

(Ha ha, I was going to warn you not to mentionn the S-group in front of Tsubie, but she apparently beat me to it. ^^)

« on: November 14, 2006, 08:00:56 am »

For me, I never watched anime on TV as a child.  I first heard of it when I joined a Harry Potter message board about 5 years ago.  A few of my friends on there kept talking about this Rurouni Kenshin show, so I finally decided to ask about it.  One of the girls was also watching InuYasha at the time, and she informed me that InuYasha was airing on Adult Swim in the US.  So, I tuned in to Adult Swim and got hooked on IY.  (I also downloaded the Kenshin OVAs, which I absolutely loved.  But IY was technically my first anime.)
