My friend. Thank you for the suggestion. I have tried watching episode 1 of Sword Art Online and I love it. I can relate to this anime as I myself am also an MMO player. Now for me to hunt down the light novel.

Why not take a shot at posting these. Who knows one certain people might be able to help you translate this.

Do pardon my comments as I now understand how passionate you are about this movie. But I still find some of the things that they did as pure stupidity. You actually used the perfect example as that is the exact situation that I was referring to. Come on, you're on an alien planet and you found a corpse, which you know was killed by something, or at least was being chased by something horrifying. You found something alive, and the first instinct you have is to touch it? Our animal instinct is naturally to be on guard of anything we are not familiar with. Sure curiosity may have played a part of it, but as they say, curiosity killed the cat. I guess you can attribute it to the token stupid guy. Talking about this movie actually still gives me the chills. *shudder*

For the "pink faced" guy at the end is a major character of sorts in the comics. I was not happy with how Captain America was portrayed. He looked like an idiot in most part of the movie. And that's coming from a Captain America fan. Although I do understand why the producers did that. It emphasizes his transition from the 40's to the modern era, trying to adjust. And he proves his worth in the final battle. And to be completely honest, I hated his suit in the Avengers. I prefer his world war II uniform over this anytime.

Well the thing is about this version of the Hulk, it is actually Mark Ruffalo's acting. They placed all this sensors in him and captured his movement as he plays the savage brute, unlike the previous movies where the movement of the hulking beast was purely CGI. I think I understand where you're coming from considering that you're not much of a comic book fan. Majority of the Hulk fanboys sees the Ang Lee movie as a total failure. I myself was not impressed how he "comicalized" the movie with all those comic book like panel in the movie. (which I find somewhat annoying) It was a nice idea to emphasize that it is a movie about a comic book character, but it's not what the fans wanted. Coming from someone like you saying that you enjoyed the Avengers movie, I would like to think that the producers and directors accomplished their task. The task being able to let non-followers to enjoy a movie that caters to fanboys.

Ahaha! That was funny. ahem. were you a fan of alien? although prometheus is a very different style, it seems to have it's roots in suspense horror of alien but moving away towards a more gentle and creepy sci-fi. I'm not sure about the story myself, but I don't really come for the story with this one, more for the universe and the richness and detail of the culture. the atmosphere, the premise, the design, etc. (20 hrs , wow that is a long flight! my flight from paris to narita was around 12-14 hrs...) Let's just say that Alien left a big impact on me that gave me issues whenever watching movies like these. I just can't help but feel some of the characters as just plain stupid, and was the reason for the whole fiasco that happened to them. And that is one bigass face hugger.

So I've heard. I don't know how I feel about this, but won't it feel like it's being rushed? I mean, announcing it just like that, have they already started with any of the planing and stuff? If ever the movie will not deal with the Skywalker clan, perhaps they will appear as support characters instead of being in the lead role. Maybe Luke will be doing a Gui-Gon Jin on episode 7 and pass on the mantle of lead character to another Jedi to be the master of his kids? I dunno. That's what I'm thinking if they won't be following any of the established stories in the comics.

Oh, I wasn't aware of that. This is the only place that I look for any info regarding Guyver, so do pardon me if I do not explore other sites.

I've only recently finished watching Gundam AGE. As I have mentioned in the shout box, it was a satisfactory Gundam series. I hope that they don't repeat the fiasco that was Seed Destiny. After Gundam 00, AGE seems to be a fine successor. You just gotta love the Gundam AGE-2 Normal. That's one sexy Gundam. I hope that the next Gundam series will still be a good one.

I'm done reading AVX, I must say, I quite liked it. Better than Fear Itself though I've only read the core series of AVX. It seems like Marvel keeps changing the status quo, and then only to bring it back where it was. Let's see if they will be keeping what they changed here. I'm currently following AVX consequences, and does this mean that our fearless mutant leader has turned into a villain on his own volition? Influences from Cosmic entities does not count, do they? As for DC, after the new 52, I completely stopped reading any DC comics. I read Justice League once in a while, only because Jim Lee was drawing it.

I saw this one while I was on a plane to the US. Longest flight I've ever been on (frigging 20 hours!!!!). Anyway, the visuals are astounding. But for the story itself? Meh! Didn't really give me much excitement when I was watching this. I guess these types of movies are not my tastes.

As they say, better late than never. I just saw this movie the other day, and I must say, I'm quite satisfied with how Peter Parker was portrayed. Although I was a little disappointed at how Peter "lost" his uncle ben. I felt that it wasn't powerful enough set him straight. Still, I was happy at how it was presented. So.... is Marvel still Pro-Gwen or Pro-Mary Jane? Haven't been ready much of the spidey comics lately and I'm afraid I'm no longer up to date with his status.

Wow, I can't believe I missed this. Nice costume. You actually beat me to doing one for myself. I was actually planning to creating a Gigantic costume, but time constraints prevented me from doing so. But still, it's nice to see someone actually done it. Although there has been others who've been doing Guyver Customes, I have to say that this one is one of the better costumes that I've seen.

I was actually waiting for the japanese scans for these. You know how many times I've iterated that I hate translating from chinese scans. But if you guys want to me I would, but be warned that this will be coming from second hand translations. If there is something wrong with the Chinese translations, I wouldn't know.

And to think she is still attending college at that!

Or alternately, they could just browse the wiki section in this site, which has the complete information, as well as the chapters themselves being housed in the same site. The wiki is a work in progress and everyone can freely modify the contents to update the information.

This is currently a popular song, a fad, that it's on the brink of annoying. But you have to admit, it's kinda catchy. Gangnam Style: You can't go wrong with 500 million views. And here's the sexy dance for the song:

I think that the only good time to make a reboot is if some asinine director messed up the previous movie and killed the franchise (yes, I'm talking about Joel Schumacker). For Robocop, I think it is a good time to remake the movie, since the last robocop movie wasn't really that good. Crap in fact. If only they followed the script of Frank Miller. You can't continue a bad sequel, so the only route is to make a reboot.

Wow, Chinese scans. This might be a good source for the scanlated version. I'm going to use the Japanese scans instead of closer translations.

Well, it doesn't say in this chapter. Since brother justin has hinted in passing off the translation, allow me to get back with the translations later. I don't have the raw with me at the moment.

Quite correct in your assessment that isolation is not good. This is also synonymous to the phrase "no man is an island". It's probably best to delegate some of the site responsibilities to other people. It would really be difficult for you if you handle every single aspect of the site by yourself. What makes a project successful is the collective thinking of all it's members as well as the collective effort to make one great result. Look at how we do the guyver manga then and now. Then we had people doing certain bits and pieces of the manga and it comes together great. But now, we have a first edition, an advocacy version or any duplicate version of the same thing simply because one version is not compatible with the previous version. It's this kind of process that frustrates everyone. I can imagine Amika being frustrated in translating the chinese scans when I translate the same chapter from the japanese scans.

I've just finished watching Hotaru no Hikari. It's about a dried up woman who is sharing her lodging with her boss. It's pretty funny. Here's the only decent trailer that I found:

Shou gave permission to Agito to take the remains of Hayami into Colorado, including that of Yohei's (Shizu's grandpa). Also, Shou is telling Agito that it was not his fault, Guyot knew about Odagiri mansion, so they will eventually come sooner or later. Good luck Ryuki.

NYAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! I've not heard of the word "tuppence" before, but a quick google search resulted me the following definition: Two pence or Pennies. Now what part of the body could that be? hehehehe. Okay, I'm shallow, so sue me.
