[quote name='MaRk-0wN3Z-YoU']The story on this game is much longer then the first one and there are new game types for 1 player also. the charicters you start off with are Hinata, Sasuke, Rock Lee, Kiba, Garra, Sakura, Ino, Kakashi and Naruto I think i missed one. Ya I dont know the USA release date but I know it is a great game! I know all the secret charictors if you want to know them.[/quote] Nah it's okay. I'd rather be suprised. Now I am happy. More playable girls! :animesmil

I really like Kyo x Tohru and Yuki x Yohru from Furuba. Both couplings are unique in their own special way. I also like Syaoran x Sakura from CCS. They are so cute together! :animesmil Edit: I also like all the InuYasha canon couples.

Yeah, I know! Not to mention the fact that licensors like 4kids and (MOST especially) Nelvana take [I]great[/I]anime with [I]wonderful[/I] characters and edit and chop up the anime so much and make the dubs so kiddish that parents and others will definitely think that anime can only be for kids.

When I watched Haibane Renmei, FMA, Full Moon wo Sagashite, and Fruits Basket (when it went into Hatori's past) I cried. Full Moon was the one I cried in the most.

Lucky duck! No cons near where I love (and even when they DO have anime cons, they never have any good guests as far as I know...) I know Clash of Ninja 2 is coming out soon. I loved the first one (my friend has it), but there weren't enough characters! The story mode in Clash of Ninja 2 is longer than the first one, right? It should at [I]least[/I] finish the Chuunin Exam arc...Clash of Ninja 1's story mode was way too short...Btw, what new characters do you start out with automatically? Btw, in the first one, I can kick my friends' butt with Kakashi or Haku. Sasuke doesn't work with me for some reason...

Dareka No Negai Ga Kanau Koro (When Someone's Wish Comes True) , by Utada Hikaru. lyrics are at [url]http://www.animelyrics.com/[/url] This song is so pretty!

I simply must recommend Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu (The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi) and Noein. Good summaries can be found at [url]http://www.animeacademy.com/index.php[/url] (I suck at summaries) Spiral: Suiri no Kizuna is a great mystery anime. I highly recommend it. :animesmil If you like Cardcaptor Sakura, you'll love Tsubasa Chronicle. (but I can't think of any fans of CLAMPS's work who hasn't heard of this anime) xxxHOLiC is also quite good too. Same goes for the movie, xxxHOLiC: Manatsu no Yoru no Yume (did I spell that right?). xxxHOLiC anime is about Kumihiro Watanuki who can see ghosts and spirits. They are also attracted to his blood, so they keep attacking him. He stumbles upon the Dimension Witch's (AKA The Space Time Witch, and Yuko Ichihara) shop. Her shop specializes in granting wishes, so she agrees to grant Watanuki's wish of not being able to see the spirits (they will also stop attacking him)....after he agrees to work for her, cooking , cleaning and doing other random tasks for her. The movie is about when Yuko gets a letter inviting her to an auction at a mysterious mansion (of course she brings Watanuki with her, along with his "rival" Doumeki) It crosses over with the Tsubasa Chronicle movie at the end. Themes for both the movie and the series by Suga Shikao, (ending for the series is called "Reason" by Focogenico and they are excellent!

Haibane Renmei, because it is really interesting, and things in the series can be interpreted in a number of different ways. Also xxxHOLiC, because Yuko-san actually teaches life lessons, like: -everyone has a different idea about what is good or bad -words can hurt or set free yourself and other people around you -you should try your best in everything you do -don't drink too much alchohol, or you'll get bad hangovers :animesmil lol Yuko-san does this a lot Fruits Basket made me think too, because it confronts lots of different issues (even more so with the manga)

To me, what makes an anime an anime is the unique style, characterization and the care that goes into the music and animation style that sets it apart as a different genre from North American cartoons (although some anime have sucky animation, characterization and/or music) Anime should also [I]feel[/I] Japanese. Amerimanga is NOT manga. I don't care if it's done in the same style, if it's not from Japan, it isn't manga (hence why we use the word "manga" instead of "comics") It's the same as Chinese and Korean comics. Tokyopop sells Korean and Chinese comics and tries to pass them off as manga, but they are not manga. Same with Teen Titans, and other shows from America that use the same style. It's the same with some anime that was heavily edited for North American television. I don't really consider the edit as anime anymore. I just consider as badly americanized garbage.

[QUOTE=Fasteriskhead]Heck, I'll give it a shot. I'll just convert these to katakana (I don't think kanji would be possible, although bk may know more than me): チャールリ ジェイド ジャアク エッラ セバスシオン I invite those more knowledgeable than I to do it better (I'm especially unconvinced by "sebastion" - do you think that would work better with a シ or a チ?)[/QUOTE] I can read and write in hiragana and katakana (although I'm not Japanese. Sorry) I think "chi" (second character) would work better. But that's just my opinion. I've been teaching myself Japanese so I might be wrong.

I would love to see a sequel for: [B]Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu[/B] I know there are novels and a manga based on it but I want more of the anime! [B]Kare Kano[/B] The anime was way too open ended. [B]Fruits Basket[/B] Many great characters and plot twists from the manga were never mentioned on the anime. I guess they ended the anime like that because Natsuki Takaya injured her drawing hand and had to have surgery, and couldn't work on the manga, so Studio DEEN had to think up their own ending. [B]Full Moon wo Sagashite[/B] What happens to Takuto and Mitsuki in the end??
