So I take it you heard that 4Kids are releasing the Uncut Japanese episodes on YouTube for free? The first episode is already out.

Really? Can't say I heard about that. Ideal opportunity to familiarize myself with a little Japanese though.
Gotta link?

Bad news; it doesn\'t seem to be available in Britain.

I started my first manga collection Just ordered Death Note volumes 1 and 2. 1, 2 and 3 were eight euro each but only a 6 quid for all them after that. Not bad (I think)!

Not many YuGiOh enthusiasts here I know, but this is quite interesting; (turns out 4kids aren't quite as evil as I thought )

In 2005 4Kids Entertainment, with the help of FUNimation Productions decided to go back and redub Yu-Gi-Oh, this time Uncut with original Japanese Score. The First Volume "The Shadow Games" was released containing 3 Full Uncut english episodes, also containing the Original Japanese Audio track on each DVD disc. Later on FUNimation released Yu-Gi-Oh Uncut, Volume 2 - The Insector Combo which contained 3 More Uncut Episodes and Original Japanese Audio track. 4Kids Continued with the Same Design for Volumes 3 "Stolen: Blue Eye's White Dragon" Uncut English Version with Original Japanese Score and Japanese Audio Track.. 4Kids Were gonna make a volume 4 "Black Falme: Red Eye's Black Dragon" But discontinued it before FUNimation Released it. There were only ever 9 episodes dubbed UNCUT... 3 episodes per 3 DVDs.

Not sure how many fans knew about this, but there's a guy on Youtube with all Nine Episodes. Just watched the first one, and the reduced (and properly translated and scripted) amount of speech, fixed scenes and more fitting Music make it far superior to the original. Damn shame they only did the Nine episodes, I'd have loved to see all 224 like this.
(Vid of first one below; crappy sound aside it's quite good)

I really like Yu-Gi-Oh. It is my third favourite anime. I am going to collect all of the Video games. I do hate 4Kids for not having the uncut series, or if funimation take over then maybe we will see it in all of its glory.

I just stumbled across this:

Death Note spoiler

Bleach and Naruto is up about a day early (was realeased about 1PM today infact :O )

Nice find Saunders, I haven\'t seen DN in a while, i forgot how madly they portrayed Light, i\'m gonna have to get the manga!

Where do you guys buy your manga? Any online stores you\'d recommend? I ordered some Death Note off Easons. The shipping cost was cheaper than bus fair in and out of the city centre

Saunders that\'s from the 3 hour special episode, there\'s quite a few new scenes in it. It even shows some scenes that happen after the Death Note series.
I can\'t find the second special episode anywhere, it\'s almost impossible to find a subbed version.

@ L ah okay I wouldn\'t mind seeing that special was it ever released on any of the DVDs sold here or in Japan?

@ Angus I get the majority of my manga on Amazon it\'s cheaper and its all arrives pretty quickly.

Bleach was awesome!, Though i'm wandering why ichigo's hollow looks different from before unless its a level two?
Naruto was good, one of those informing and touching moments! Next couple of chapters are gonna be awesome

Why are all 5 of the manga's I'm reading now awesome? Awesome fights in Bleach, One piece, Naruto, Shaman king and claymore!

@ Mage

Show Spoiler

Yh, I thought it would end pretty soon but it seems there is another enemy behind akatsuki! Can't wait, this fight is going to be epic. I wander if he will be made hokage soon, maybe after protecting the village from Tobi and sasuke.

Show Spoiler

You'd hope they make him Hokage after protecting the entire village from an enemy even tsunade or jaraiya couldn't beat, but you never know, he isn't even a chunin yet

Check my awesome new Sig guys ^^

Show Spoiler

Yh, but you never know, he is the number one maverick ninja! I think he will learn space/time jutsu though like his father 'yellow flash' of konoha. I've yet to think that Kakashi is dead yet though, either that or there will be a long conversation with his father 'white fang' of konoha before he dies. I just can't accept it yet

Now it's time for you lily fucks to watch some FLCL.

FLCL hurts my brain.

So, I just found out that this:

Welcome to the NHK volume 1 is out of print and stock pretty much everywhere. I have wanted it for about half a year now. It\'s listed on Amazon (user store) at £106! It\'s selling in the US at over $130. I really hope I can find a copy somewhere. Volumes 2-8 are fine and can be bought loads of places.

On a slightly more positive note I am going to start watching Honey and Clover, Ah my Goddess and Genshiken very soon and rewatching NHK.

I've just watched the first 3 episodes of Death Note. Its very good I must say. Its just getting into it now and I can't for the bus scene, it was my favourite part of the film.

Does anyone know what the difference is between the death note manga that have the numbers on the bottom and the ones that have the number much bigger and incorporated into the cover art? Most shops seem to have the second style for volumes 5 and 6. I've seen 5 in the first form but never 6. What's up with that?

I think it's just their print, they are exactly the same just UK and US covers. Could be wrong though.

I don't know if this can be related, since spongebob isn't anime, but I thought this was pretty good.

Stulaw, that was completley awesome!

Thanks Echoes

Part 2 . These were recommended for me by youtube.

Yeah those are hilarious so funny seen them many times before though.
