O_O Just where do you live?!

Ah, right. Ishinomori... Of course. It wouldn't be a KR anniversary without mentioning him.

It also depends on the writer (and its perception of females) as well. As TVTropes would put it: "Most writers are male". We do need more women writers. But also, ALL writers need to keep in mind to not give in to public perceptions and demands blindly , like "women today must be stro...

The funniest episode by far, as far as I can remember. But no Combo song? Hopefully, they'll throw in in the future; I can't imagine Toei deciding they've had enough songs, with all the merchandising OOO is going for already.

Kinda hard to justify buying a brand new system unless it's a real good sale with the PSP2 coming out [Nod] I've been eying a PSP also, but if NGP would be able to (hopefully) run every game on PSN available for PSP, I'd rather go with that. I don't know if that's gonna be the case though. Almost e...

Thanks for the info. I'll keep it in mind for when I can get a PSP.

Hmm~! I don't have a PSP yet, but I do have a wired PS3 with good connection. What other games do you guys plan on hosting? Though the only US-region PS3 multiplayers I have right now is ModNation Racers and Demon's Souls. I also like playing Climax Heroes OOO, but it's on the Wii, so no online.

"In a brightly lit room, at a good distance away from the PC?" :P Well, I usually go for torrents for weekly releases, when the download speed is good. Otherwise, I go for DDLs. Either way, I archive all the episodes I download. ...Well, except for Faiz; way too confusing for my taste. Tho...

For some reason, I really like the 13:45~14:40 part. It just feels so... "rich" in context. Eiji and Ankh trust each other completely despite what happened earlier, and Date handing over the Birth Buster to Gotō. Heck, even one shot shows the "teacher" Date towering over the &quo...

Thanks for the reply. That's what I think too. Considering the Tales series' history of Western localizations, it wouldn't hurt to get used to the Japanese versions, huh. If the US release will have desirable pre-order bonus, and if I have cash to spare, I won't mind giving it a shot though. But tha...

What Luna said. Plus some bootlegs just use TV broadcasts or even our subs with the TN stuff cut out. In terms of doing the right thing and for practical reasons as well, bootlegs aren't even on the table for consideration. They're really kind of a waste of money in every single way possible So tru...

Bootlegs are out of the question. Maybe there are those that copy exactly, but we're still trying to support the original even the little we can, meaning official DVDs. I see. There are middleman services for Japanese item importers, so I suppose the main problem boils down to the cost. Also, IMHO,...

About Sentai DVDs, it kind of depends. For older shows, they put 10 episodes on two DVDs and charge about 100 bucks for them. There's usually no bonuses either: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=DSTD-7201 But for a show like Goseiger, you get 4 episodes, some bonus footage, and maybe a f...

I've been wanting to try the two Tales games on the PS3. And two days ago, my wallet was full, so I just decided to waste it on both Tales of Vesperia and Tales of Graces F. And... yesterday, Tales of Graces F was announced for US release , though nothing more than that. Luckily for me, ToV ran out ...

Speaking for the series overall, I'm liking the final arc (much) more than any previous ones, starting with the recap clip episode. The separate villain team arcs did contribute to the final villain's final grand scheme, but those did very little on their own aside from waiting to be defeated and re...
