Anyone read mahoromatic?  I just got vol 7 and man is it getting good.  Turning out way better then the shitty ending they gave the anime. Remind me to hunt down the anime makers responsible for that.

[Pitkin]

Ooh, so the Mahoromatic volume 7 is out now? I've had the six first books for months now, but the seventh hadn't appeared in the leading manga bookstore in the capital city the last time I checked in. Nice, something to look forward to reading. ^_^

[CaptBrenden]

bwahaha, all I can say is its the most emotional volume yet, and minawachan kicks ASS.  do not cross her..

[Q4(V)]

wht's mahoromatic abt any way i never hear of it.

[CaptBrenden]

OH!!  Anyone ever watch Blood: The last Vampire?  It was a very short ova a while back, pretty good.  It was one of the first flicks I remember where I was happy with how the CGI blended with the standard animation. The plot was interesting but full of holes... and the voice acting (least in the dubbed version I saw) was kinda poor and sluggish.  

Come to think of it, the famous AMV for Mitternucht used clips from it, and vampire hunter d.  

Anyhow, I just found a recent tv series done based off that original OVA. Ive only watched 2 episodes but I already like what I see. I saggest you guys look it up if you do the fan sub thing.

I think everyone needs to see Genshiken, it reminds me a lot of Otaku no Video in many respects, it's basically about an otaku club at some college and the stuff that goes on in the club and it's very amusing as well as something that some of us can relate to in a lot of ways. Anyways go d/l it, buy it whatever just go see it. I've been into this stuff so long I'm not even going to try to list all the stuff I've seen, all I know is that if I would have just saved all the money I've spent on anime/anime paraphenalia I could probably have put a down payment on a house by now.

Quote from : Q4(V)

wht's mahoromatic abt any way i never hear of it.

Sorry, I missed the question the first time... ^^;

Mahoromatic tells a story of a retired combat android Mahoro, who's in the shape of about 17-year-old girl. She moves in to live with this younger kid Suguru Misato-san. The series/manga is pretty ecchi, but(/and) dang funny all the time. Mahoro's really cool. ^_^

Oh well, I couldn't come up with a longer description. :|

[Gunsmith Cat]

Mahoromatic:
Plot Summary: Vesper is a secret agency fighting an army of alien invaders by using super-powerful battle androids. Mahoro is Vesper's most powerful battle android and has won many battles, but she has little operating time left and soon will cease to function. However, if she lays down her arms and conserves her remaining power, the time she has left can be prolonged to just over a year. Mahoro is given an opportunity to live the remaining time she has as a normal human. She chooses to live as a maid for Suguru, a phenomenally messy high school student who lives by himself after his family passed away.

Genshiken is very awesome. Ohno is my idol! *^^*

I started watched Suzumiya Haruhi no yuutsu (The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi) the other day, and so far I am loving it! Haruhi is absolutely weird.. she's super nuts o.o But I'll have to watch more to figure out whats going on exactly XD;

Also, Black Jack 21 rules me, by far. Everyone should see Black Jack 21. Yes. Don't even question! I'll post a better review of BJ21 sometime..

hummm... actually I did catch that.. I thought I corrected my post. This vexes me, Im terribly vexed.

Actually, Mahoromatic is one of my all time faves.  Tho, one time I was told that I like depressing animes, and it seems about right.  Mahoromatic for example, as funny as it is, it also tears me up inside, its a dammned tragedy.  Having lost my dad to cancer.. that sort of.. ticking down the days thing was very painfull.  In essance, mahoromatic is one of those cancer making the best of the time left storys with an anime twist.  

HOWEVER, the anime strait up dicked it up.  It was wonderfull right up till the end, when they compleated the series before the manga.. and once again a wonderful series gets a dicked up ending that makes no sence (ala evangelion style tho not as bad)

If you liked the series read the damned books.  Youll fall in love with the characters all over again.. and see how so much more there is to that series.  There were parts in that book that sent shivers down my spine and made me tear up.  The ending of the series wasnt compleatly off the mark.. but its dilivery and details were all fudged ruining its impact.  

For example (ill try to explain some differences without spoilers)  Minawa in the show was just a... sidekick if you will. she played no real impact on the overall story.  however, in the books.. the "scrapping" of her fello cyborgs, 369, management.  it all comes togeather... and the show didnt do that

anyhow.. i relaly cant say more about it without spoiling it. just go get it and read it right now. I mean RIGHT NOW.

also if you like those happy yet sad tragedy storys, check out one of my other all time favs, Gunslinger Girl (humm I think Ill have to write a review on that one later.)
