Nice to see that all of us gothic dwellers seem to have a soft side. (*Hugs his Hello-Kitty pillow*) The guy behind Ahh! Megami-sama also did the incredible artwork for the *Tales* video game series, which are some of the best old fantasy rpgs. Now, I guess you knew that already...
If you've trouble gettign through some of the books, you may be happy to hear that HASBRO/WotC and CPM already obtained the rights for the translation of Mr Mizuno's works. *Although I believe WotC did so mainly to PREVENT Sworld World to be produced in USA and to rival BESM* The thrid novel in the Ring Cycle (I know it is a silly name, but it is the official one) is undergoing translation into english now, though it has been available as a e-book for a few years. Don;t bother looking for the e-book now though, it;s been taken off due to the english language copyright now being ownedDesdichado wrote:Mr Suzuki's works, which, if I am not mistaken, include *Ring*, have already been translated in some European languages...
I am hiding all of my cute things, including my limited edition Rinoa pencil topper from FF8, Aaa! Megami-sama garage kits and signed prints, Bishojo Senshi Sailor Moon art books, EVA keychains, etc...Nice to see that all of us gothic dwellers seem to have a soft side.

Hello Kitty! scares me more than anything else on the planet, especially after I read about the murder in Hong-Kong where a Hello-Kitty! doll was used to hide the skull of the victim, and people laughed saying "Hello-Kitty! wouldn't mind!"Desdichado wrote:

I never saw any Arslan after the third part, I did like what I saw though. Blue Gender, Blue Seed, 3x3 Eyes, and others are also among my favourites.Desdichado wrote:Besides RoLW, I absolutely liked *Arslan*, *Berserk*, and *Vampire Hunter D* (quite trashy, but one of my all-time fav Helloween videos), just anything *medieval and full of fantasy*.
Apart from that, Rurouni Kenshin is the finest comic series EVER to me (I really cried when I saw the last episode...
There are 6 UY movies, but the 6th is to mark the 10th anniversary of the anime. Movie 5 is the proper ending. it ends with Ataru and Lum playing tag again, this time for the memories of those in the town, if Ataru doesn't grab Lum's horns in 10 days they will all forget her and she will leave the earth. All Ataru has to do to allow Lum to let him touch her horns is to tell her that he loves her, of course he gets out of it by keeping her old horns that fell off when she reached adulthood and screaming out that he would never forget her. It is Lum who then goes to him and lifts his hands up to her horns, shutting down the Memory Erasing machine that has been flying about. Also, one scene has a nice MECHA send upYou saw the last *UY* movie? - How does it end? -I mean, I saw the series some years ago, but never got my hands on the movies...*And it doesn't seem I ever will* - so, the end remained a mystery to me until now...
Giant MECHA baseball anyone? lol. Movie 6 involves a love potion and has Ataru falling in love with another alien princess, Lum must then find a cure.I used to use importers or just import myself from abroad, often doing the latter was alot cheaper. Except for model kits, those were cheaper to let a company import. I still pride myself on a 1/8 scale resin Belldandy kit that I spent a total of 50 hours work on. The paint work on it is perfect.I used to hang around in a comic store every day when I was younger... Trading cards, etc... So I had already been spoiled with tons of fantasy novels, comic books, and rpgs before I was even 12...
In GB, the release policy was always far better as in Germany. (The same with D&D, lol).Wiccy of the Fraternity wrote: I never saw any Arslan after the third part, I did like what I saw though. Blue Gender, Blue Seed, 3x3 Eyes, and others are also among my favourites.

MY FINGERS A TOO FAT FOR THIS KIND OF WORK!
For me *importing* means that, when I am back in Spain visiting my family, I go and check the comic stores there... *Which can be quite great! Last year I found ANAM* Yep, with Ataru declaring to Lum (while they are fleeing for their lives from the rest of the cast) that he would admit that he loved her on his death bed, but both of them seem pretty happy about that.Desdichado wrote:So, they get together in the end?!
Never visited Japan, I would just order from Japanese companies. Who in their right minds would fly to Japan just to get cheap manga and merchandise? lolAh, resin...
*Still crying about the super-expensive Deedlit kit I completely messed up.* So, you visited Japan? *LARGE envy*
