New Poll - Looking Your Age
(32 posts, 6099 views) Posted: over 11 years 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, by more then 5 years (I managed to...

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 women, studying for tests, dumped in an...

Site Poll - Chat Box 140 - Scanlation vs. Official
(26 posts, 4643 views) Posted: over 12 years 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

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.

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 because they don't k...

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 3 book cases full of manga a...

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.

It happens all the time, like "What's that anime you're reading?"
you WATCH anime and READ manga, it's like the difference between Comics and Cartoons!

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 th...

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?

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 guy who hit's on me ...

I have to admit the same has happened to me, but not really with a particular series.

Are you looking specifically for space operas? If not I suggest Pumpkin Scissors. It's hard to explain but if i had to categorize it I'd call it WWII, Military, sci-fi/steam punk

I only use it to talk to close personal friends who have moved away, but I do have one. I never, ever give my Facebook to anyone but people I know in person. If you don't know my name then you can't fine me.
