Recently found out Ao no Exorcist has like 10 bazillion volumes so I'm dropping this one before I get too invested, I don't need another Naruto or Bleach.

Yeah, that's JC (Jump comics) for ya.
A lot of their animated titles are long running series of which most are still ongoing which means you'll get a shitload of filler episodes like with indeed Naruto and Bleach.
Or the other option which is just as bad, alternate endings like the first Fullmetal Alchemist series and Hellsing. :tsk:

Guess I should be thankful they stopped fansubbing FMA halfway through but I think that series has actually finished (besides movies and OAVs), it was getting pretty stupid towards the end anyways. Naruto and Bleach should have ended 200 episodes ago, Naruto is 90% filler, flashbacks and pointless back story where Bleach just adds entire filler arks right in the middle of plot arks. Bleach should have ended after they beat Aizen >.> Guess I've only seen the good version of Hellsing though I can't remember if I saw the whole thing :lol:

The first series deviated from the manga, so they remade it.
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood made up for it by following the manga precisely as far as I know.
Guess I've only seen the good version of Hellsing though I can't remember if I saw the whole thing :lol:
Hellsing Ultimate is the one you want to see, that one follows the manga from start to end, although it isn't finished yet.
(The anime that is, the manga is done. Episode 8 (of 10 I think just like the number of manga volumes) is still in the making)
(Now I also remember where a big part of my resentment of Gonzo came from! Hellsing TV was done by them. *Deliberately coughs up a hairball*)

Wow they're sure taking their time with the anime, pretty sure some Hellsing Ultimate DVDs have been around for quite a while now :oops:

Also funny thing about FMA, the guy who voiced the brother (forget his name) couldn't continue with it because he's like 18 now and started it when he was 13 so his voice is too different :P

The Japanese have a good solution for voice acting young boys, female voice actresses.
Most of the young boys you see in anime are played by female VA's Alphonse Elric is a good example of that, but so is Naruto.

Same is true for the American dubs mostly, Naruto is voiced by a female as well. Whatshisface was just an exception I guess, I know he had a role in Ouran High School Host Club when he was around 17 and in the commentary they were joking how he longer is competition for some of the other VAs :P

Holy crap there's a sex scene in Ore-tachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai :shock: Of course it's censored (2/3 screen is white'd out) but it's obvious what's going on, I didn't think they could do that stuff on TV :oops:

"Oh noes, I got cut by a poisoned blade!"
"Never fear, we all know the best way to remove poison is ejaculation!" ... :?

I don't care if it is a dream sequence, that's just stupid :oops:

So Ore-Tachi Ni Tsubasa wa Nai recently finished, I have a feeling that no one else bothered watching it but with the last episode the plot finally makes a whole lot of sense.

WARNING SPOILERS

There's three main characters; Takashi Hanada, a high-school student who seems to have a somewhat weak constituion. Shuusuke Chitose, works as a book reviewer and recently started working at a bar. Hayato Narita, seems to be a handy-man of sorts as well as being quite outwardly rude and awkward but obviously has a good heart.

At the end of the first episode Takashi admits to being an alien (albeit to himself) and later around episode 5 it becomes apparent that these three share the same body with Takashi having it during the day, Shuusuke during the late afternoon and Hayato during the evening. To us, the viewers, the all have their own separate appearance but in the story there's no physical change when one person takes over the body so they're all perceived the same. There's also two more people hiding inside that body, one of which (Karura Itami) is also the narrator and surfaces once when things get very violent and takes over for about a day. The other is only briefly mentioned until the end (Youji Hanada). It's also apparent that everyone but Takashi knows about everyone else, it seems that whenever Takashi has trouble due to his weak constitution he escapes to his fantasy world that he believes he's a part of, hence he thinks he's an alien. This fantasy world is exactly that, it's a world he made up from playing an old SNES game.

Blar blar blar they all have own "events" so-to-speak and we finally come to the last couple of episodes. Takashi has an episode and escapes to his fantasy world right in front of his girlfriend (Asuka Watarai), Shuusuke has to pick up the pieces but Asuka's not buying it and immediately asks who he is and where her boyfriend is. Shuusuke explains at least some of it to her and tells her not to tell Takashi, however later she does confront him about and Takashi has another episode. Last episode Takashi is finally aware that his fantasy world doesn't exist and has a chat with Shuusuke and Hayato.

So here's the big plot "twist" and some of this is my interpretation since they never really specify exactly what's going on but it makes more sense than "aliens" :P None of these people actually exist other than the one that's barely been mentioned, Youji Hanada. When he was young he went through a very traumatic event with his mother going nuts on him and his sister (Kobato) and since then he locked himself away in "the abyss", which I guess is basically his psyche. He created another personality, Takashi, but he was mentally flawed and thus Shuusuke and Hayato had to be created for more "stability". Karura was probably a product of his anger manifested. So there you have it, Youji has Dissociative Identity Dissorder, he comes to terms with the past and finally surfaces to take control of his life again. Now he looks just like Takashi but has a different voice (to represent his original character I suppose), he has to wrap up all the loose ends that his other personalities had and that's the end.

Very interesting plot for what was originally an H-game. Though I found out that Kaboto is one of the girls you could pursue in the game, she's his sister, that's kinda nuts... :?
