Well, finally saw the last episode. They answered a few things but still left out a lot to keep you to crave for more. There are something shown on the last few minutes to look forward at the second season. And I felt it was strange that they didn't show the titular Gundam in the series, and now it makes sense after the last episode. O Gundam being the first Gundam and OO Gundam being the first of the second generation. Ooh~ Guess we'll have to wait till August to find out what happens.

How about some of Yuko Hamano:

More Race Queen photos:

Here's some more nicely done cosplays:

I have to agree there. The best part of the Jinchuu arc are the fights of the supporting casts. That showed how Yahiko managed to get strong to fight alongside Kenshin. The second OVA was sickening, but the first OVA was sad. I guess they just tried to milk more money from the popularity of Kenshin from the first OVA that they released. Probably the reason for the same art style. Though not a death of a character, it's saddening how this series died.

Well, I have seen those you have mentioned except for Samurai 7. And I really can't say that I was saddened about their death, (well except Lockon since he's one of my favorites), because it's either I can see it coming or I couldn't care less about that character. For me, what was really saddening was Fushigi Yuugi. Here they have all the build up of the 7 guardians and you get to see them drop like flies one by one near the end of the series. I mean, they create a story and you have already grown to them. And they're gonna kill them off just like that. Another one would be in G Gundam. 2 death's there that really saddened me. One is the death of the lead characters brother Kyouji. And the second one is the death of Master Asia. And also may not be related to Anime, but I was really saddened by the death of Captain America. His death was even covered by almost every major news network in the world.

Wow, that's really a good way to discourage this thread. But I shall persevere. I will post more pics of beautiful women that are real. How about some Chisato Morishita: Chisato-chan~~

Well, I don't know about Lockon doing a Mwu, but I have an inclination that Tiera would be doing a Char. But I get the feeling that the last episode will be more on Setsuna. (Duh! as if it isn't already a give away:lol:)

There were already hints that the history of Geiseric is the origin of Skullknight, only his transition into becoming the Skullknight and his Rivalry with one of the Godhand has yet to be explained. We can also note the similarity of the relationships between Skullknight and the old Witch with Guts and the young Witch (sorry, their names are at the tip of my tongue). I do wonder what would Griffith do next when he obtains his kingdom. As is seems with the current pace of the manga, that's not really far away. I'm also curio, us as to if Griffith still has the power of the Godhand since he was reborn. So far we have only seen unexplained miracles happening to Griffith. (like arrows not hitting him, etc.) Perhaps this is part and parcel of that power?

I don't think Griffith would have any "fighting form" since he was reborn as a human in Gut's unborn child. So technically, Griffith is a result of Guts X Caska X Griffith. *shudder* And his army is not only his weapons, remember he was also a member of Godhand. As with Guts, there are hints that his future are somewhat similar to what has happened to Skullknight, and probably this time Guts has to struggle the same fight as the Skullknight only not making the mistake that he once did, if he ever did.

Lockon, Lockon...... Lockon, Lockon...... Lockon, Lockon..... Man, that just sucks. And here I was hoping that won't happen. Guess this is one of those last minute changes they were talking about. But wait, they didn't actually show it right? So there is still a chance.....

I find it odd that the Trial system not working on the GN-X. If that is not the case, why is Tiera so furious when he revealed the existence of Nadaleh to the opposing forces? Perhaps the Trial system is some sort of an enhance Minovsky Particle emitter that renders GN drives (or even other mobile suits) useless, something which is similar to an EMP, but without the after effects. It seems that the first season will be coming to an end. I've read spoilers out there and things are pretty exciting. People are dying left and right, and will leave us hanging for more. I'm convinced that it's no rumor since it was posted way back in mid february and it's prediction for the episode that just came out a week ago were spot on. I hope Code Geas 2 comes out immediately after Gundam 00 ends.

I think that it would be related to the GN drives. As it seems that the GN drives are directly linked to Veda. But I'm wondering if the GN drives of the United Nations are linked to Veda as well.

Well, it is evident that Togashi's "sickness" started when he was doing Yuyu. The art sometimes looks like childrens scribbles. But you have to hand it to him, People gets hooked to the stories he tell. I just can't understand why a guy like him who is married to the author of Sailormoon and is currently the highest paid (correct me if I'm mistaken) mangaka, can't put out a consistent Manga on schedule. Well, forgive me as I know this is not a thread for Togashi but his works on Yuyu. Anyway, I liked the fights of Hiei during the tournament. Especially how he resorted to using a "weak" technique of Kuwabara's. (Forgot the name of the guy he fought)

This is probably the only series of Tagashi I've seen from start to finish. This is actually the series that introduced me to Hunter X Hunter. Although I don't know what the arcs are called, but I liked the fight up to the point where Urameshi is fighting Sensui, then after that, I'm kinda disappointed. And of all monsters..... Enki????

I don't think that every one of them has the same ability like this one, that would defeat the purpose of their uniqueness. So far, we only managed to see the semi special abilities of Dynames and Virtue, their full potential might be somehow linked to that. Also, I think this pinkish mode is more similar to the after image of F91. Imagine how much G-force the pilot has to endure in that mode. I'd like to imagine Exia doing that afterimage while docked into the GN Arms.

Episode 22. Woohoo!! Nice upgrades.

It could be possible that Balcus has never bothered to design a Zoanoid in a feminine form. If you notice, all zoanoids are in the shape of male, or could be that Balcus is a male chauvinist.

Will take me longer to translate the following pages as patience is not one of my virtues. Goodluck with the typsetting. Page 130 Guyver Chronicle Bioboost Armor glossary Because [bioboost Guyver] has been running longer than 10 years, these are enourmous information being presented.

VDF-061 Page 128 Enourmous Bio spaceship "Ark" A giant bio spaceship that was processed in the dead sea. It's total lenght reaches 50 kilometers. Inside it, is a preparation of habitable environment for living organisms, it should be capable of prolonged interstellar flight, the crew (Zoanoids) serves as the center capable of forming an independent ecosystem onboard. The living organism composed in the hull, was the cell of the "relic" ship that was scattered by the explosion in mount minakami, and reinforced. Again, the 12 located energy amps scattered in the ships hull is the gravity control system, this enables the "Ark" for propulsion. These energy amps, is the same as those found originally in the body of Gigantic which is related to the "Relic", and that the "Ark" and Gigantic can be related as siblings. Again, these 12 energy amps corresponds to the 12 Zoacrystals, and requires the 12 members for the full functionality. Page 129 Shuttle Pod A 12 holy commanders exclusive space shuttle serves as a sattelite railway between the Ark and Earth. Capacity is 4 people. Although it won't live long after it separates from the Ark, it's longevity can be extended by Amniotic fluids. For Atmospheric escape it is pulled by the effect of the Ark.

I hope not. Teira must be feeling very bad now. Especially after their "bond". So how exactly is Tiera linked to Veda? Edit: Also checked MAHQ. The GN Arms are Meteor like attachments. Oooh, wonder what else it can do.

Hmm.... Tom Clancy makes me sleepy. Too many details. I mostly read books by Anne Rice, and other classics like Charles Dickens (which my favorite is Great Expectations) and Jules Verne. I've recently read the "Dark Matters" Trilogy by Philip Pullman and I have to say that it is way better than the movie version The Golden Compass. Also read a few Stephen King Novels. I really liked his "The Stand" book.

Oh sorry (edits above post), I'm not up to date with the anime. So they are currently showing renji fighting right now?

(un)fortunatelyHopefully, Ichigo's ass gets kicked.
