So i think I've kinda given up on guild wars now. I'm at a stage where I'm deciding whether to delete from my comp for space or to leave it. Basically it was great fun for a while but a year and a half on it's gotten to be pretty much the same thing for me. It seems that for me there is no real depth to it anymore. I'm not sure if I'll start again when nightfall is released but at the moment I highly doubt it.

For those who might be reading scans it has been announced thar chapter 132 to be released on the 5th of September will be the final chapter in the series. I've love reading every bit of this manga and am gonna miss not waiting for more.

AS you said Ikillion they didn't show/explain a lot of things regarding Chad and Ishida but is the way with a number of manga they'll probably come up as flashbacks during major fight sequences regarding those two characters.

my guilty pleasures would be [B]Loveless[/B]. I'm not into that boy love thing in fact, I try to avoid seeing anything with boy love in it as I can accept it but feel I don't need it shoved in my face. But this anime interested me. It had me very curious even with the blatent use of boy love. SO I guess my guilty pleasure would be the fact that I enjoyed watching this and am still waiting to hear if there is a second series. [B]Fruits Basket[/B] - somewhat referred to as a girly anime/manga. I liked the anime up until the last couple of eps where I think they ruined it. However I love the manga and continue to read it when ever I can get my hands onto scanlations. The manga is still not finished and I want to see the end. There has also been the announcement of a possible second series. [B]Midori Days[/B] - Very much a love story. I'm pretty guilty of enjoying love stories, but this would have to be one of my favourite romantic comedies with [B]Fruits Basket[/B]. I could even get past the fan service (being a guy I'm not against that at all) and watch the thing in its entirety. There are probably more reasons but that's all I can think of now.

So with the event I've been testing out the Dervish and paragon classes. The Dervish I found really simple to play with the premade PvP character and could actually hold my own, easily adapting to situations. The Paragon on the other hand I found a bit harder. Seems they're almost meant to be played like a ranged warrior. I mean their skills are essentially somewhat similar but they throw a spear rather than rely on close combat. On another note played my necro today and got to ring of fire. Only 3 missions to finally finish prophecies once.

Just watched ep 90 and the preview for ep 91. I actually saw the Bounto's ultimate goal [spoiler]being to destroy Soul Society a while ago. And as Kariya said he's never hid that goal maybe being why it seemed so obvious to me.[/spoiler] looks like in ep 91 [spoiler]Ichigo reobtains Bankai, hopefully leading into the Arrancar arc, and Ishida also gains his powers back. As I said before hopefully Ishida's powers are only limited so it stays true to the manga in the end.[/spoiler]

[quote name='Delta][COLOR=#656446] Um, um, um... [spoiler]Oh yeah, that! I didn't notice them shuriken timers when they were going against that eight-armed Arrancar (that was his bankai, right?). [/spoiler'][/color][/quote] Yes that was [spoiler]Hitsugaya's Bankai when he was versing the 8 armed Arrancar. The thing is though that he's shuriken timers were never focused on before his first fight with an Arrancar, and maybe Kubo doesn't really want them to be an overly big thing during certain fights.[/spoiler] The Big question right now is what does [spoiler]Aizen want with Inoue. I mean I've been reading speculation that Aizen might make her a hollow and a number of other things like using her powers to make other Arrancar before the item's determined active time. One thing is certain though is that Kubo said he planned on giving Inoue a bigger roll and it does look that way.[/spoiler] Has anyone also noticed we haven't heard from Ishida in a while?

[quote name='BKstyles]Yeah, i can definitly see him saving the crew but the [spoiler']powers he gains can't last forever if they wish to follow the manga. He'll probably wipe out a doll and send the bounto running. Or maybe if they decide to end the fillers here, not that i'm complaining about them but they just cannot go on as long as the naruto ones.[/spoiler][/quote] Nemu said that she was [spoiler]lending Ishida her power, which suggests that he won't have his back permanantely. I'm hoping they don't give them to him permanently as I love the way the manga's going and I want the anime to follow the same direction. Also Ichigo has to reachieve Bankai sometime during the next few eps to make sure they are following the manga.[/spoiler] Hopefully the fillers end when they bring in the new starting.

So on the 28th-30th of July Guild Wars is having a PvP event where we're able to test out the two new classes that are going to be availble in the second Expansion [I]Nightfall[/I]. I don't know much except what was posted on the GW site. [Quote]July 18, 2006 (BELLEVUE, WA) ?

[/Quote] ANyway I'm still stuck in Arborstone. Got into a group today and was third invited, but when they needed to drop someone to get a nuker or extra healer they just dropped me. SO I went through with henchies and got to the last boss before getting owned. I also dropped my character out of QKT since the Otakuboards guild seems dead.

Damn Desi, thought you dropped us for planetside for a while there. ANyway my Necromancer is still 3-4 missions away from completing the prophecies campaign and just can't be bothered going back and finishing it on him. ANyway my Assasin/mesmer is up to mission 6...I think. The one where you have to enter a temple get an item with the ashes of some hero and then escape the collapsing temple. At the moment I seem to going at a pace of a mission or 2 a month in factions campaign as I'm still spending too much time playing WoW. I almost finished said mission but while on vent was called by my WoW guild to run an end game instance.

I found the first ep somewhat beizarre but possibly cause I didn't know what to expect. The characters designs were pretty cool, though I didn't like the costume transformation sequences as they were very reminiscent of Sailor moon, but then again that was the only part that annoyed me bout Sailor moon. The ice-cream break scene caught me off guard and from that point on I kinda just sat there stunned watching it. AFterwards though I couldn't stop laughing whatsoever. And who would have thought a guy would like sailor moon ro power puff girls for that matter. :animeswea

Damn scrolling through 8 pages of old topics just to find this. ANyway I've been watching Disgaea and there is a lot different to the game but a few things are the same. I've seen up to ep 10 but recently the show was licensed by Geneon so chances are it's going to be a while before I can see the last two eps. Doesn't even help that I'm in Aus so releases are later than in the US.

does any one know if it's been announced whether there will or will not be a second series, or is it still pure speculation? I mean the last ep definitely set it up for a second series. ANyway I have a friend who's collecting the manga as it's released here.

grats on the 15K armor desi. ANyway onto what I'm up to. Reached the temple mission (can't be bothered typing out the full name). ANyway looks like a mission I either need to get my 70ac armor for or go with a group. went once and looks like it will be quite difficult with henchies. I killed 2/8 before wiping on the third.

I recently got to the Nahpui mission. I keep attempting it with henchmen cause I'm lazy and can't be bothered looking for a group. ANyway I keep getting two of the avatars down, Kirin then turtle first time, Dragon then Phoenix second but I keep failing to get three down. I have to say Papa that I find death blossom to be the best duel strike attack out there. I mean if you crit and get two hits (yes I mostly split my points so I have a decent amount of points in everything) then it's upwards of 150dmg a mob and that's just with the daggers I'm using.

That first mission was a pain. I only finished it recently and only got a single sword rank. Originally I did it with henchmen and couldn't get past the second room of waves. Not because of death penalty but because the other group (usually all henchmen) would let Mhenlo die. I somehow got into a group and got through it but only with a single sword rank. It would be difficult to get Master rank as it's a timed mission for that aspect and it took my group 32mins. Story starts to get pretty cool from that point though.

ACtually I think I got a miniature from getting the Guild Wars: Factions collector's edition. I mean it's got to be no where near the first birthday of my main Salmac Neirat but early in playing Factions I got a message saying I could recieve a special bonus item. It was a green miniature and it looks like a chinese dragon of sorts. Oh and QKT is practically dead now. As far as I know I'm like the only one in there that still plays and I'm considering joining another guild now.

I loved the first season of Rozen maiden. I haven't yet seen Traumend yet. ANyway my favourite character would have to be Suiseiseki. She had to lead the way in what was my favourite episode of the first series.

I've only seen the first ep but loved it. I'd read about the surprise at the end of the first ep, forgot it and was damn surprised. Then I went and watched it again to work out how the guys worked it out. That's the main reason my avi and banner are the characters of the show.

They're awesome. Thanks for doing that Ezekiel. Edit: For some reason the 2nd banner keeps getting resized to 75x23 whenever I try to upload it to photobucket. any idea how to fix this? Edit 2: Actually just got it to work by right-clicking the picture and going to properties and using your link from there.

Hi, I was wondering if someone could make me a Ouran High School Host Club banner and 2 avatars (1 for otaku boards and 1 for MyO). I've been searching for pics but haven't been able to find any to put up. If possible can I get Haruhi on both the avatars and the rest of the club on the banner. Thanks for your time and effort (whoever ends up making this, if anyone).

I'm still playing the original as I don't have the money for factions. I'm also not on overly much at the moment due to RL stuff. But I'm on occasionally. Edit: Actually have the money for factions now and should be getting it within the week. Only just defeated Glint in prophecies though.

[QUOTE=Dagger]Is it just me, or did it seem that a different team of artists worked on episode 4? The differences weren't horribly jarring, but there were some discrepancies between how the characters (especially Shino & Haseo) looked and the original models. It was most noticeable around the eyes. [/QUOTE] I didn't notice but I never really pay attention to that. I mostly pay attention to the storyline but oh well. Maybe you're right. Anyway I'm waiting for the ep in which [spoiler]Shino's costume changes from white to black. Why you ask? This is because in the videogame and the manga titled .hack//GU which are set after Roots, Shino is always shown in a Black outfit rather than white.[/spoiler] [CENTER]----------------------------------[/CENTER] Been 12 days since my last post so I hope I can be forgiven for the double post. ANyway onto major points. Over the last 12 days I've seen episodes 5 and 6 and I must say wow. The symbol that appeared in the lost ground in episode 5 appeared again after that weird phenomena in ep 6. For those who don't know that symbol is the symbol revolving around [spoiler]Tri-edge, who is the Kite look a like with the unusual twin blades. Looking at the preview for ep 7 he will finally be making his appearance as the real villain.[/spoiler] As for the glitch or whatever you'd call it in the cave [spoiler]I'm confused to how Haseo was able to fixed it. Could it be something to do with the new legend of the twilight? Or is it something to do with him appearing to be an anomaly in the game as well?[/spoiler] [COLOR=Sienna][SIZE=1][INDENT]Twelve days or not you still need to use the edit button located in the lower right hand corner of your post to add on to the existing post. Please do not double post [B]Meggido[/B]. ~indifference[/INDENT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

I think the song your talking about is the one by ALI-Project. they also do the ending as well as the op to Rozen Maiden (another anime I've seen). ANyway I'd say that it was a good ep, and I actually saw episode 3 back when I wrote my opinions on ep 2. It's likely that this will lead into the core of the series now. ANyway just saw episode 4. This episode just seems to add more questions about some of the main characters especially Ovan. [spoiler]I could see Tabby eventually getting PK'ed. I mean she's so innocent even I would have been tempted to had I been someone playing the game. But I do suspect it might have been Ender from TaN.[/spoiler] They also seemed to set it up for the next episode, entitled distrust after [spoiler]Sakisaka finds out from Gord that Haseo was doing some prior research into the Twilight Brigade.[/spoiler] Can't wait for ep 5.

I have a friend who started a assassin. My first reaction was to laugh when he commented that he died way too easily. have you tried a ritualist yet Desi?
