After doing a Google search for the aforementioned titles, the
second hit I got had as its title "Hi, anyone know the source of this?
- GUROchan Requests". So yeah, I'm also considering avoiding Camp
Heaven and Camp Mission, even though I didn't click the link so maybe
it's all just a joke at my expense. --- "The world is a sphere. That means that the east is connected to the west, and the north is connected to the south." ~Enrique, Skies of Arcadia |

From what I've read from people describing it: "And while CH had fairly kinky content that was disturbing because of the underlying brainwashing/domination aspect, Camp Mission descends into **** like torture and a sickening level of mutation (think deformed chimeras and human plumbing)..." (To which someone replied:) "Camp Heaven was disturbing because of the brainwashing aspect? What about the hermaphroditsm, beastiality, scat, and pedophilia?

I watched the first episode of Kamen no Maid Guy and it was

first episode makes me want to watch the second one. --- Nice boat, Kotonoha. |

The Overman King Gainer opening is amazing. Unfortunately, the show isn't quite as good.

Well, all I've really had time for lately is TV dubs. So here's what I watch weekly. - Yu-Gi-Oh! GX That's about all I can watch on my TV, what with having no cable. But I also find other ways to see... - Blue Dragon - Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl: Battle Dimension - Bakugan Battle Brawlers - Naruto - Bleach - Death Note - Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion - Digimon Data Squad Awaiting return of... Dinosaur King One Piece MÄR: Märchen Awakens Romance (may not return, technically not a TV dub lol) Also I watch Dragon Ball weekly on Toonami Jetstream. If I get any extra time during the week I try to catch up with where Bakugan is in Canada. Also, sometimes while I'm eating a meal, I'll watch an anime with whoever I'm eating with, if anyone. Recently, we finished All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku and Planetes. Currently watching Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig.

And the last two are even better. Seriously, this should be

though, because while it doesn't appear that way at first, Gunbuster 2
is closely related to Gunbuster. --- "The world is a sphere. That means that the east is connected to the west, and the north is connected to the south." ~Enrique, Skies of Arcadia |

Judging by the last episode, the rumours of Tower of Druaga being
13 episodes long were true. The story really needs something longer,
though. They made the tower into this massive undertaking, a challenge
nobody had ever successfully managed, and 10 episodes later a random
group of moderately skilled adventurers are nearly at the top. There
wasn't even that much in the way of monsters stopping them in the last
episode or two. It has gotten pretty good, though, so I'm looking forward to seeing where this is going. --- 'All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated and well supported in logic and argument than others.' - Douglas Adams |

I just remembered another reason why I never buy anime, besides the
ridiculous prices. The company that releases basically every anime here
should never be allowed near DVDs. They literally have no QA at all,
and have admitted this. They regularly release DVDs with various video,
sound and format errors, often serious enough to make something
unwatchable. Apparently, they even doubled up an episode once, when
there were meant to be two different ones. Apparently, not only can
they not afford to hire someone to test the DVDs, they also can't
afford a DVD player and 10 minutes to make sure the DVDs actually work.
This kind of laziness is probably worthy of a class action lawsuit. I say this now because I finally did buy something, the first collection of Fullmetal Alchemist (which, frustratingly, ends at episode 24 and not the logical conclusion of 25, where the first half really ends). The problem with this one is minor compared to some of the other things they've done: selecting an episode other than the first one starts at Al's equivalent exchange speech, usually skipping the first scene. As well as happening on the first disc, I'm now finding that it also affects a couple of episodes on the second one, and I'm concerned about how much longer it went on for. Fortunately, I can at least avoid missing anything, but it bothers me to know that parts of the plot probably makes no sense to people who don't realise that they're missing scenes. I hope this eventually stops, but it's hard to have faith when they couldn't be bothered fixing it for the box set release. Presumably, they're just ignoring known problems entirely and re-releasing the same DVDs with the same errors. Anyway, I forgot how emotional FMA could be at times. Al in general is just depressing - if anything, beyond the first few episodes, they don't capitalise on his complete inability to live any semblance of a life as much as they could have. I mean, he's just missing three out of five senses, and he's only 10-14 years old. I like the humour as well, but I seem to recall that becoming less common later on, and I wish there had been more of it in the first place. And more Hughes. --- 'All opinions are not equal.

Marginally anime-related: In episode 12 of Haruhi (in every ordering!), the school festival episode, Koizumi is putting on a play, one entitled "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead". I just saw the movie form of this play (written and directed by the original playwright), and it was amazing. It's very clever and loves wordplay, and its main theme is exploring the utility or futility of the actions of characters inside a play, set against the backdrop of Hamlet. Hamlet is not required reading/watching (I didn't have it in good memory while watching Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, and I still enjoyed it just fine), but after seeing the movie, I wish I did have more knowledge of Hamlet, to the point where I'm considering reading Hamlet soon and then rewatching the movie. It's also the kind of play that Koizumi would absolutely love; the part he does in Haruhi is within the first ten or so minutes in the play and features Guilgenstern's attempt to explain the event that had just occurred of a normal fair coin coming up heads over 80 times in a row. This is especially appropriate given Haruhi's setting, in which the title character causes story-like chains of events to occur in the real world constantly, events that would be considered absurdly unlikely in a normal setting. --- "The world is a sphere.

Oh my god I LOVE Nodame. *_____* It's one of my absolute favorite
dramas! And normally manga-fied things in dramas irritate me a bit, but
for some reason Nodame is like this perfect mixture of angst and crack
to me. XD GTO is indeed excellent! Right now I'm watching: Last Friends - Very *very* good drama. Pretty heavy themes and lots of angst but *extremely* well done (and, kind of hilariously, most of the cast of Nodame XD) Yukan Club - For the lulz.

Right now I'm watching Code Geass R2, because it's simply the best anime this season; Zettai Karen Children, because it's that classic 90's style without a classic 90's budget; Special A, even though it's quite bad, since double speed fixes a lot of its problems; Fireball, whenever a new episode happens to come out; Kamen no Maid Guy, which is the funniest show this season bar none, and The Tower of Druaga, since it's really quite a fun show. I'm running behind on a few shows this season, too, most notably Macross Frontier and Toshokan Sensou. I'm also moving slowly but surely through some older series that I've got on my computer: Big O, Gost int eh Shell Stand Alone Complex 2nd GiG, Sketchbook -full color'S-, Overman King Gainer, Speed Grapher, and my rewatching of Tsukuyomi Moon Phase. I watched Utena plus the movie a second time across this past year with my roommate, for whom the viewing was his first; it's really quite an entertaining show, and I enjoy a lot of the little touches and internal consistencies to it, as well as a lot of the purposeful inconsistencies. --- "The world is a sphere.

Been watching a few anime series, like Gantz, Rah Xephon, Last
Exile, Bastard, some of the Zone of the Enders anime,...usually watch
Subs when I can. Some friends, I guess, downloaded some series, like
all of Naruto (never seen it) and Death Note (never seen it) going to
see about borrowing some. Reading some of the Berserk manga...what happened after the series, has been killing me, just getting to the parts where Casca and Gatsu are hitting it off (about episode 15-20...when things get good). And I liked the additional info at the beginning, like Puck the fairy...who was absent in the series. And, I guess since this is my first post, and I have quite a few years to catch up on... I've seen all the cartoon network stuff, uncut and in with subs, like Cowboy Bebop, DBZ, YuYu Hakusho, FLCL, Wolfs Rain and Eureka Seven...to name a few. But since all that I've branched out to some other things. And I've seen the typical movies that people recommend, like Akira, Ninja Scroll, Princess Monoke, ect. Umm, I know I've seen more things, like movies, and series...Berserk is actually my first manga...but anyway, if I think of more, I'll post. --- Yes, but does it...blend!? |

The Gantz anime does the first three matches from the manga, and then
it invents a new fourth match, then it just kind of ends. The Gantz
manga keeps going for far longer -- it's actually still coming out. I've seen the entirety of the Gantz anime, and I really should read the manga soon.

Yeah, the comic is a lot more detailed in its violence/gore. From what I know most fans don't seem to mind the stuff that was animated that was canon, but when it diverges from the original and gives a wtf crap ending... yeah... It doesn't help that -- like Cauchys Inequality already mentioned -- that the comic keeps continuing much further down the line.
