I think watermarking isn't meant to stop the spreading of the manga. As far as I know, watermarking has been done on scanlations since early scanlators like MangaProject, only it was small and only their website and credit staff listed. It has only gotten more bigger, mor...

I think Milleniummaster18 meant was this, "I'm sure no leecher would mind it" comment. That comment can also be written this way... "Who cares if you retire?"

I've chosen "Don't think they're any good" because more often than not, don't find myself liking them. I can only count the ones I like in 1 hand! Korean manga are often about violent ones (girl/boy or both). I never really seem to get into Chinese comics and there is on...

New Poll - Spoilers

I LOVE spoilers. It lessen the experience for some series, but I don't really care. As long as I know what's going on, I can wait out to read it when the Japanese publishers release it or when scanlators release it.

OOOOH. Oh well, I'm still starting on Kanata Kara so I might put it off a bit more. Thanks for the replies though. If it's more of sci fi -ish than romance and drama, I dont think I can enjoy it as much as most do.

I'd second Shion no Ou.
And recommending Girl Fight
Crimson Hero would be good but it has love triangle at the beginning.
Kiss and Never Cry - I'm not sure if there's a triangle but it's about figure skating and something happen (it's not shown or proven, but I think she mig...

Quote from Sachins
For example, during the opening movie in FFXI, a friend told me that they'd copied from Star Wars. I admit, it does look like it but I think the style is more from the FF series than from SW and that SW is just influenced by FF.

I just thought about this thing regarding the cards. For the longest time, I was thinking that Ryou was the one behind the incidents where a member of Team Summer B would almost die

I'm not in favor of this shop but I know some parents, especially ones who are not into anime, wouldn't care if it was a fake or not, as long as it's cheap and it'll make their kid happy. They wouldn't take the time to check if it's bootleg or not....

would you date a taller woman/shorter man?
(95 posts, 9827 views) Posted: over 12 years ago by Sachins in Chatter Box
Hmmm.. I don't know. I dated a guy who is a few inches shorter than me.but he didn't leave me much of a good impression so, right now, I prefer guys taller than me. However, I've never been attracted to gangly ones.

I admit, I'm looking forward to see the movie and see how much it'll differ from each other. Now, I am curious and wanting to read it since AliceinAmestris & Skinny Kazoo, and others say that it's interesting. But I think I'll wait for the movie first before reading. =)

Have anyone read or heard about the "Hunger Games" trilogy? It's a book by Suzanne Collins. I haven't read the trilogy, but based on the summary, it sounds a lot like Battle Royale. I'm not saying that it's a copycat. But I get tired of hearing friends when they see an an...

I would start any series as long as I think it might be interesting based on the summary that I've read for it. If it is but the art is bad, I'll still give it a try for at least a volume or two. I've never drop a series for it's bad art if the story is really good. One g...
