Seriously? Maybe I\'ll give my manga collection a quick count, but I highly doubt it\'s anywhere near that. I\'m a gamer first and foremost remember, if I don\'t have money for games I don\'t have money for manga

*counts*

Ooooh Turns out I have 77 or 78! (not sure as I\'ve lent out some manga and I can\'t seem to find my DBZ)

Not bad! Way more than I thought o.0;

D.N.Angel (11)
DragonBall (16)
DragonBall Z (2-4, not sure )
Love Hina (14)
Kingdom Hearts (6)
Naruto (1)
FullMetal Alchemist (1)
Shaman King (3-4)
Pita-Ten (9)
Death Note (6)
.hack//twilight (3)

And some other random manga including Air Gear, Sgt Keroro, Blazin\' Barrels and some others that I\'m not sure why I have

Some thoughts on Death Note rules:

The first isn't a real plot hole as it could just be a mistake of communication, sure, as we've seen, the rules of the Death Note don't have to be real.

The second is just something I found interesting.

Hold on I'm gonna have a more thorough look

DragonBall (16)
Love Hina (14)
D.N.Angel (11)
Death Note (6)
.hack//twilight (3)
Pita-ten (9)
Kingdom Hearts (4)
Shaman King (3)
FullMetal Alchemist (1)
Naruto (1)
Sgt Frog (1)
Air Gear (1)
Blazin' Barrels (1)
Chronicles of the Cursed Sword (1)
Tokyo Babylon (1)
King of Hell (1)

Aside from those I'm missing up to 8 volumes of DBZ (I don't remember having that much, but online volume synopsis says otherwise) and 2 volumes of Kingdom Hearts. Where the hell did they go! D:

Some thoughts on Death Note rules:

Show Spoiler

The Death Note will be rendered useless if the victim\'s name is misspelled four times
From page \"IX\" of the \"How to use\" found on the page before chapter 14 in Vol. 2

Assuming this is true by all means then the biker from the start shouldn\'t have died. Light wrote his name 6 times, so that\'s five misspellings. He may have gotten the name right before the fourth attempt but he still wrote more and it shouldn\'t have worked.

Whether the cause of the individual\'s death is either a suicide or accident, if the death leads to the death of more than the intended the person will simply die of a heart attack. This is to ensure that other lives are not influenced
Found on page \"X\" of the \"How to use\" before chapter 15

This rule is intriguingly absent from the film. Had this been implemented then Naomi Misora couldn\'t have shot Light\'s girlfriend and would\'ve simply died from a heart attack.

The first isn\'t a real plot hole as it could just be a mistake of communication, sure, as we\'ve seen, the rules of the Death Note don\'t have to be real.

The second is just something I found interesting.

I think the first one is because it has to be misspelled 4 times before the correct name is written, and as you say, Light probably got the right name before that. Once the name is written, nothing can stop the death, so misspelling the name after that wouldn\'t matter.
Was definitely a risky thing to do though. He could easily have rendered the Death Note useless by testing it out then.

The second one is simple. The films aren\'t canon. But you\'re right, that shouldn\'t have happened. But then, it was bloody weird that Light had a proper girlfriend in the first place...

Keven are you going to get Death Note the novel too?

I just noticed something. Viz has been providing subs of Naruto Shippuden on the official Naruto website for quite some time now...

WHY DIDN'T I KNOW THIS?!

That's the reason why Dattebayo stopped subbing Naruto. Also it's not available to people in the UK.

BUMP: Next Full metal alchemist episode is out guys!

( Edited 12.04.2009 20:46 by Echoes221 )

Uh, you guys know that the official Viz subs and Horrible subs are the same thing, right? Horrible subs just rip Viz\'s official releases from crunchyroll. ^_^;

I don\'t really like Horrible/Viz subs, they reverse names and omit honourifics among other annoying things...but unfortunately there isn\'t really anyone else for Naruto or Hitman Reborn.

Well since everyone else seems to be displaying their manga, i guess i'll show my mountainous collection

So with the advent of FMA 2, did anyone watch Gundam 00? I thought it was quite good overall as a series (definitely better then Gundam Seed Destiny) thought it was a bit tacky at the end.

I finally started the Tsukihime Anime.

Its pretty close to the actual plot, with only the usual literary ramblings, prolonged descriptions, and some minor events removed. Sadly, the dub(which had some fairly famous voice actors) torrent was barren of seeds and leeches so I had to stick with subs...

I\'m pretty satisfied so far!

EDIT: D\'OH! I should\'ve known that if they made the episodes mkv\'s with the english subtitles then of course they have the English dub included!

NOTE: The anime doesn\'t quite match up to the orignal artwork, imo. Still like it though!

EDIT: This thread hasn\'t seen any action for about a week, so i\'ll post a question. Can the discussion also include visual novels?

Wikipedia: Death Note has been optioned for a live-action Hollywood remake. A 2007 article in The Star (Malaysia) states that more than ten film companies in the United States expressed interest in creating a remake.[6] Vertigo Entertainment is currently set to develop an American Death Note remake. Zac Efron is rumored to play Light Yagami as he has shown intrest in the role and said he was in a upcoming anime/manga adaption , However he may of been speaking about the rumored Full Metal Panic movie which he also rumored to star in.

Granted that this is still a merely rumour, I don't think it will happen. The dreaded Battle Royale remake still hasn't surfaced. And the whole Zac Efron thing is just speculation, as he is now one of the most famous faces in Hollywood for adolescent girls. Although if he was Light, I would get sick. No matter how much he looks like Light from the manga, he's a sickening actor. Death Note Musical - Ryuk's a cuddly bear...

Eeeeeeewww. Please dear god don't let it happen...

Yeah!

I haven't read/watched anime/manga for a little while now actually.

Damn, I thought my "Death Note Musical" quip was original...

I was watching the extras of L: Change the WorLd, and I must say, for an actor who plays his character perfectly, Kenichi Matsuyama has no charisma whatsoever! He's so blank. Even when saying funny stuff his expression doesn't change. Even his co-actress says he's like a robot off set, he's L in real life too.

I started watching Naruto, great over the top music!

Yep, we here in Dubland just finished the Bount attack Soul Society Arc. This new season seems like a much nicer change from the last one.
