New Poll - Looking Your Age
(32 posts, 1868 views) Posted: 312d 2h, 31m ago by Tenshinchigi in News
I'm on the fence, it's ok if it's just a few characters, sometimes people just don't look their age, but if all the high schoolers look like they're in preschool then yeah, it's a problem. I myself look a lot younger then I actually am ...

New Poll - Life Role
(45 posts, 2014 views) Posted: 367d 22h, 4m ago by Tenshinchigi in News
I'd want to be a minor character, I mean, have you ever seen a main character this isn't busy? How can I spend all day reading manga and watching TV if I'm being hunted down by demons, saving the world, being harassed by a harem of wom ...

(26 posts, 2455 views) Posted: 696d 16h, 13m ago by Tenshinchigi in Chatter Box
I don't go out of my way to compare, but sometimes the official translation uses really crappy phrases, Like "Turn into a freak" vs "Turn into a monster" ...

New Poll - Original vs. Adaptation
(22 posts, 344 views) Posted: 759d 14h, 45m ago by Tenshinchigi in News
I agree completely. It should be loyal like Dragon Ball (but without the fillers) or completely different like the Escaflone series.
Black Cat is a good example of doing it wrong. ...

You just haven't been looking in the right places You should check out imprints instead of the Parent company, or an independent company. I suggest looking up comics done by Dark Horse or Vertigo for story based comic books. Slave Labor Graphics h ...

New Poll - Local Comics
(24 posts, 314 views) Posted: 843d 18h, 38m ago by Tenshinchigi in News
I agree with you for the most part, but I think the problem has less to do with the lack of and ending and more to do with a never ending climax. There are some long running comics I read that aren't as bad as Spier-man or the X-Men and that's mostly ...

Site Poll - Chat Box 113 - Paying for Online Manga
(45 posts, 3172 views) Posted: 955d 19h, 38m ago by Tenshinchigi in Chatter Box
While I'd rather have a physical copy, that's just not happening cost wise. I've got hundreds of series I read, and buying physical copies of all of those series would not only bankrupt me, but I'd have absolutely nowhere to put them. I have ...

ever notice how funny things taste when your nose is stuffy? That's because taste is dependent on smell. So actually a bunch of people chose to lose 2 senses not just one. But hey, no one's expected to think that far ahead. ...

Site Poll - Chat Box 75 - Anime Adaptations
(22 posts, 2023 views) Posted: 1312d 12h, 19m ago by Tenshinchigi in Chatter Box
I think a series can be treated 2 different ways. The story can be followed religiously or it can be completely different. Anything else ruins it. Like the Black Cat anime. It was to close to the manga to avoid comparisons, but not close enough that people who read ...

20 Years in Prison for Buying Manga

Are you sure? I know that originally Drawn Kiddy porn was illegal, and then some judge declared it unconstitutional, but the President of the USA added that law again just recently, can a supreme judge really over turn it that easily?
As for the obscenity charge, is ...

20 Years in Prison for Buying Manga
(138 posts, 3392 views) Posted: 1621d 9h, 26m ago by Tenshinchigi in News
Yeah, well the point of the law is to prevent pedo's from escalating.
If they look like kids pedo's are gonna jack off to them, it doesn't matter what age they are in context. I mean sure I might be legal at 21, but I look around 12, meaning that any ...

From what I understand the series that got him thrown into jail were Shotacon series, ie. Kiddy porn, which is illegal not only in America, but virtually every contrey in the world.
And yes, that includes drawn pictures too. It was only recently added to Americas laws, a ...

I have to admit the same has happened to me, but not really with a particular series.
I'm addicted to reading. I could die of anticipation just waiting for another chapter of anything to come out. I've read every series I've ever read multiple times, ...

Despite being in the majority of the last poll I do spend lots of money on manga. I have over $2000 worth in my room at this moment. It's filling my bookcases and lining the walls. I also have somewhere around 80GB of manga saved to my HD. I might be a b ...
