One Piece. *_*

Holy crap! You guys are killing me here, I didn't even know you guys were making this! I'm downloading it right now and will be back later to comment.

I thought it was all some sick hoax at first since it hit the news here in the U.S. before it was in Japan. But, oh god, he really did die, and now I feel like crying all over again. It's now mentioned on his website. This is so horrible. He was my favorite director, and I greatly respected him. He was one of the few animation directors that seemed to really hit people with his work. They were all thrilling and psychological, and just fun to watch. I've enjoyed all of his work, and I was looking forward to so so much more. I wonder now what will happen to the latest movie he was working on Yume-Miru Kikai (The Machine that Dreams). I'll miss him very much.

That. is. hilarious. Wow, if they put that together in a trade paperback, I'd buy it. I used to be a huge fan when I was kid. They were my first comics.

Coverrrrr.

So, a number of months back it was announced that Supernatural (yes, the CW series) is going to be adapted into a 22 episode anime series. It's being produced by studio Madhouse. (The same guys who have brought you Death Note, Paprika, Vampire Hunter D, Paranoia Agent, Batman: Gotham Knights, and a ton of other really awesome works.) The teaser trailer has finally been released! And you can view that http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SoTKfHsais. I'm not really a fan of the series. (I could never really get past the acting.) But the concept always seemed super interesting to me, and hey, the scripts/stories are probably really good from what I've heard! I think it could work really well as an anime, and that little teaser looks pretty darn cool. So, I'm looking forward to it. More info: Official Site

Ha, I caught that. I was like, "Wait, what? How do these common thugs know that?" Although the "pretty boy" comment before that made me grin.

I liked it. The ending was so sad (not like I wasn't expecting it to be but,) my eyes got all watery. Oh! And the Jonah Hex short was pretty badass. Very western, good music.

Happy 27th Birthday! (*is boring*)

Hm, I suppose that makes sense.

Do you guys... use the chat room very much?

I'm sure everyone's seen the by now, but have you seen the ?

Haha, I agree. I'm loving this new incarnation. (You may have mentioned it before but) In the first episode Freddy steals a body. That's hilarious.

Ooh, an amv thread. Since I just revealed what an utter One Piece geek I am, here's an awesome One Piece AMV. Promise not to spam you guys with too many amvs at once. Two a week a most. Here's my favorite: One Piece - Coldplay - Clocks

One Piece is my most favorite anime/manga ever. It is also the most sucessful manga series in the world. (Except apparently in the U.S.) Recently Eichiro Oda (the creator) was voted number four in a list of the "Most Revolutionary Manga Creators" by marketing research firm Oricon. Quick synopsis: "My treasure? If you want it, you can have it! I left it all in that one place." The "Pirate King", Gol D. Roger's, last words about his great treasure "One Piece" sets off The Golden Age of Pirating. Twenty-two years later a teen by the name of Monkey D. Luffy sets off to become the Pirate King, and along the way meets tons of facinating characters while picking up crew mates. This series has great action, fantastic adventures, hilarious humor, and lots and lots of tears. Seriously, you will end up crying at one point or other. Three things: 1. I would really appreciate it if people signed this petition to get One Piece back on U.S. television. (Thanks to 4Kids, One Piece got a completely wretched/horrible/awful/my-f*cking-gawd-I-can't-even-describe-the-utterly-butchered-crap Dub.) But now that FUNimation is redubbing the whole series, I'd really like to see it get a new start! You can also view this neat campaign site. 2. You can watch episodes 1-138 (so far) dubbed or subbed here at the official site. They've also been doing simulcast since episode 391. What that means is that after an episode's aired in japan an HOUR later they post up the subbed version of that very same episode. (Which is Saturday 10:00pm EST btw.) 3. Although I do support Funimation, (I'm very glad they're bringing the series over to North America) I do suggest you watch the show subbed. I had a friend of mine watch the show too and they confirmed that the English speaking Luffy (the main character)'s voice is obnoxious (so it wasn't just a bias.) And that he sounded much better, and much more fun in Japanese. -------------------------- Now that that's said... anyone watch STRONG WORLD yet?! (10th movie) It looks so wicked awesome, but I've been avoiding spoilers/images because I'm waiting to watch it properly on DVD. D: Aaaugh, but that's not until August 27! And I frequent/edit the One Piece Wiki so it's majorly difficult. Regardless... DUDE, IT LOOKS SO AWESOME.

EEk, Under the Red Hood comes out tomorrow!~ Excited!

Hahaha, that's fantastic! And Adorable. Awwww. <3

Happy B-Day, friend!

Wow! Congrats! Didn't see this coming at all. Haha.

Ugh, Dick. I have nothing against him, I mean, I love... RICHARD (HA! Almost got me.) But I'm kinda tired of him as Robin and really wanted to see Tim.

Haha, right. edited.

Hm... mayhaps we'll find out more at SDCC. Thought I'd also share this: supergirl's pal posted this on the Toonzone forums back in April 5th. Considering how they were right about the Spectre, Jonah Hex, Green Arrow, and Superman/Shazam, I'd say this is legit. In that case, I would really really like to see that Catwoman and Gotham By Gaslight short. Source.
