I'd say Boston was more under an immense bout of FAIL, rather than an attack. Seriously, LiteBrites? Since when has that friendly childhood toy become a weapon? Also, you failed to mention that these things had been up for WEEKS, and nobody did anything, and that Boston was the only city to obviously care. Their lamest excuse was that "It had batteries, and wires." WIRES for God's sake! I sure as hell hope no Bostonian opens up their computer or they might think it's a bomb, in fact, I hope none of them open up ANY electrical device, since they will see WIRES. I agree, huge overreaction, but funny. I wish that there was a law that allowed the euthanization of stupid people.

This is starting to remind me of the beginning of Arabasta, way back just before arriving to Whiskey peak, [spoiler]Brook escaped off of the ship to the island in a similar manner that the then unknown Mr. 5 and Miss Wednesday escaped.[/spoiler] Something tells me we're in for a sort of combination saga of Baroque Works saga and World Government saga, using elements from both, but the same enjoyable surprising storyline Oda manages to come up with every time.

All I can say about chapter 422 is that [spoiler]Brook is freakin' amazing, as well as Franky's Soldier Dock System he installed on the Thousand Sunny.[/spoiler]

[quote name='Tatsubei Yagyu][COLOR=Navy][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Well, I for one am really excited about the anime right now. I've been waiting for the CP9 battles to be animated for a loooooong while now. The beginning of Zoro and Kaku's fight was so awesome, and when he revealed his Devil Fruit power for the first time and [spoiler]Jyabura was cracking up because he was a freaking giraffe, I couldn't help but die laughing as well.[/spoiler][/color'][/font][/quote] Hah, did you watch the recent specials? They were made of so much win, [spoiler]AND PANDAMAN. OH THAT'S RIGHT. FUKKEN PANDAMAN... (Well, more of a wanna-be pandaman... but still...)[/spoiler] [quote name='Tatsubei Yagyu][COLOR=Navy][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Side-note: For the seemingly 4 of us that are caught up with the manga I *finally* made the thread for it. See you there, Space Pirate.

[QUOTE=2007DigitalBoy][COLOR=DarkOrange]So, your new to anime, eh? Immediately go for the classic above all classics[B] Neon Genesis Evangelion[/B]. Best fights, best story, some freaking crazy parts and an ending that may just change your perception of the world. [/COLOR][/QUOTE] OH WOW. I can't believe I left that one out of my earlier reply. Seconding this.

I don't post often because I rarely find a topic worth posting in. It's not that they're stupid topics or anything, it's just that I don't find myself interested in them.

[quote name='Aceburner]Yeah, life is very good for the Mugiwara Pirates. Anyone else wondering where we can [spoiler]pick up a copy of that DF catalog Blackbeard was talking about?[/spoiler'] Anyway, I hope someone picks it up in the states again and puts it on Adult Swim or something. It would be too bad if Kahn's interference prevented it from having a chance.[/quote] I don't think Adult Swim is the best place for One Piece. I think with minimal edits it could do quite well on Toonami. [spoiler]As for the DF catalog, that was only mentioned in the most recent chapter, I think it will be a while before Oda decides to reveal where it can be found.[/spoiler]

One Piece - If you're open enough, or can look past the non-standardized art style, or even like that style of art, the story is great, and in itself worthy of an honorable mention, however do NOT watch the 4kids dub of this series, since it had over 40 episodes cut from around 140 total episodes, yeah, that's over a third of the series. Plot holes, bad editing, NO original Japanese music, basically the worst dub to air on TV, probably ever, even worse than the original Dragonball Z dubs, and those were BAD. Bleach - One for the fan of fighting series, however the anime has gotten heavily into filler and is honestly not that exciting at this point. A good one to pick up on if you're watching dubs. Death Note - Currently in America only the English language manga is being released by VIZ LLC. However the Anime is currently airing in Japan, and since the manga has ended, there is no possibility for filler, unless that's how the director chooses to direct things, which hasn't been the case thus far. Currently the anime has released 12 episodes in Japan.

Personally, I like both (on most occasions, for where I only like sub, see: One Piece). However, I usually listen to what I'm used to, or to hear the other version.

[QUOTE=2007DigitalBoy][COLOR=DarkOrange]2006, while a great year for music, gave us nothing in the realm of movies. While we did get the best TV show ever (METALOCALYPSE!!!) there wasn't really much going on with TV. 2007 looks to be much nicer, though. Here's some of the things to look forward to.... - Spiderman 3 - Transformers the movie - TMNT - Possibly the Hobbit and much more I assume. So, what're you looking forward to? Personally I'm on the edge of my seat for [B]Transformers[/B]. The previews have shown us so little, but it still looks totally sick!!![/COLOR][/QUOTE] You must have missed this one: [img]http://www.horror-movies.ca/gallery/_files/photogallery/snakes_on_a_plane.jpg[/img] Crank, Borat, Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny, etc. are some other good ones. Seriously. From what I've seen, 2007 is going to have SOOO many more crappy movies than 2006. For 2007 so far, I'm only looking forward to Transformers and Epic Movie so far.

[quote name='Anomaly][COLOR=DarkOrange][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Weird, I don't think I've seen a single Taurus yet =/ So I'll throw my sign into the mix, to switch it up a little xD[/font'][/color][/quote] YET, but now I guess there's two (that posted in this thread). [quote name='Anomaly][COLOR=DarkOrange][FONT=Trebuchet MS]1) What day is your birthday? April 28th[/font'][/color][/quote] Repeated for truth. [quote name='Anomaly][COLOR=DarkOrange][FONT=Trebuchet MS]2) What is your zodiac sign? Taurus! Everyone loves bulls, MIRITE?[/font'][/color][/quote] TRU DAT! [QUOTE=Anomaly][COLOR=DarkOrange][FONT=Trebuchet MS]3) How does your zodiac sign describe your personality? Taurus is the second sign of the Zodiac and associated with material pleasure. Individuals born under this sign are thought to have a practical, reliable, patient, affectionate, sensuous, ambitious, and determined character, but one which is also prone to laziness, jealousy, inflexibility, greediness, and stubbornness. In terms of anatomy, Taurus is said to rule the vocal chords, tonsils, palate, throat, neck, ears, and lower jaw. [/font][/color][/quote] Way too lazy to try and retype, and/or find all that info on my own. 4) Does the description of your zodiac actually describe you? [quote]but one which is also prone to laziness[/quote] 5) How does your zodiac sign PWN over the rest? Because, um... It does? Ha ha, I dunno.

[QUOTE=vegeta rocker]Yeah, some kid was acting out the execution. His sister helped him hang himself. I guess they either watched it with their parents and weren't talked to about the danger or watched it with their friends.[/QUOTE] The most likely possibility is that they're complete effing morons who deserve a Darwin Award, or at least an honorable mention.

Bad grammar aside, voice actors are not overused in America. Hell, Hiroaki Hirata (Japanese voice actor for Japanese anime) voiced a large majority of the voices in Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02, playing from major characters (the narrator, Yamato and Takeru's father, Young Gennai, to name a few), to more minor ones.

Well, normally new episodes are released raw on Wednesday, and are usually subbed by Friday. It seems there was no Episode 13 this week though, so you'll have to wait until maybe next week.

Okay, took me a few days to get off my lazy *** (even though I've been quite busy) and test that. I don't know if disconnecting the main non-essential devices is enough, but that didn't solve the problem, in fact, it didn't do anything, just made me have two less devices.

[QUOTE=Ikillion][COLOR=#0e1030][SIZE=1][FONT=Trebuchet MS] A better question could be, "What could the Breach of Contract [I]not[/I] be?" Taking into consideration what 4kids did to this series, I'm not suprised that they dropped it (being forced or otherwise).[/quote][/color][/size][/font] Well, it's not easy to breach the contract, because 4kids could technically do anything they wanted with the show, but they DID have a contract with Madman in Australia that they were supposed to release uncuts in Australia, but they didn't, and had NO intention of doing so.

Hmm, good question, how would I be able to tell if it was enough to power the devices?

[QUOTE=Petie][font=Verdana][color=blue]As I was reading your post, my first thought was rebuild but I hate to suggest something that drastic so soon. So instead, I'll ask a question: are the random undetected devices detected during start up and then not once the OS loads or are they not detected even during boot?[/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue][/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue]Also, which computer is this (if I remember correctly, you said you have a Mac and a PC somewhere)?[/color][/font][/QUOTE] Yeah, they fail to detect pretty much right away during the boot sequence, and are usually not detected once started up. Also, I've had drives just disappear when my computer has already booted, suggesting a connection failure. And this is in my PC, I have yet to see my Mac crash. And I am wondering, if this is a hardware problem, could it be with the motherboard?

Okay, since I know Petie will read this, and that he's a computer guru, he might be able to help. I doubt it though, my computer is really f'ed up. Okay, time to get things started (this could be long). FIRST THING: My computer hates it when I play video games on it, even some older ones. Why do I say this? Because no matter how low of quality I have the game set to, or no matter how old it is, it WILL lag, to the point where I can't even play the game. But this is only the start of my woes. NEXT: The lagging of the games happens no matter what, and on and off again, when I start up my computer it sometimes doesn't read all of the things hooked up through my IDE ATA slots, sometimes it will only read 3 of the 4 things hooked up, and other times it might only read 2 of the 4, either way, 2 out of 4 is more rare than 3 out of 4, and the missing device is random. (I currently have 1 K-hypermedia DVD+RW drive hooked up, 1 Seagate 120GB HD, 2 Maxtor 60GB hard drives hooked up.) CONTINUING: Okay, up until recent, my computer has acted somewhat normally, only a lot of my most basic programs were eating up unnecessarily large amounts of memory and CPU, FireFox usually using the most, followed by Share, iTunes etc. CONTINUING: NOW we get to today, I get home from work, and turn on my computer as normal, I decide to watch some SNL from my HDTV Wonder capture card, so I turn it on (this has never been a problem before), and it works as normal, but a few minutes later, my computer freezes, and ends up crashing. I reboot my computer, but it takes a few tries to get all 4 devices, and when it loads back up, I have lost internet connectivity, but at least I could watch SNL. As Lex Luthor put it in Superman Returns: WRONG. A few minutes after starting it back up my computer crashed again, this time, it wouldn't restart it after a few tries, it took about 20 minutes to even get the boot screen to display, and after that, my computer froze upon startup, so I restart a few more times and I've ended up with where I am now, with a computer made of about 80% fail, 18% neutral, and about 2% win. I hope that what I've described is enough to help aide you to figure out what my problem might be. If you can't figure out what it is, I'm thinking of rebuilding my computer anyways, so... EDIT: THIS JUST IN!!! Literally about 5 minutes ago my computer suddenly just lost power, as in total wipeout of everything. Took approximately 4 tries to start back up, with the first few epicly failing at detecting my main hard drive (the one containing my OS.) Seriously, my computer is made of fail, very much fail. EDIT 2: UPDATE AGAIN. So yeah, figured out the problem of the sudden loss of power, it turns out that the fan meant for cooling my power box was stuck and didn't want to turn, so I gave it a little nudge, and it's turning fine now, otherwise I'd be stuck wondering why my computer is always losing power. I remembered that a similar thing happened when I forgot to plug in the fan to cool my CPU and it was doing the same thing, so I remedied that myself, but my computer is still made of >80% fail.

[quote name='Ikillion][color=#d2b43b][SIZE=1][FONT=Trebuchet MS]^God has[I] finally[/I] answered my prayers. Its about time that one piece got dropped by 4kids. I wonder though if anyone else will pick it up in its place.[/font][/size'][/color][/quote] Well, the thing is is that 4kids seemingly stopped dubbing at an odd place, right around the beginning of the Jaya arc, they had even aired the first episode of Jaya in the UK before the dub seemingly disappeared completely. So my theory is that 4kids' license was completely revoked, since Toei can do that in cases of breach of contract, or for whatever other reason they have in mind. [quote name='Ikillion][color=#d2b43b][SIZE=1][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Also, Do you have any dates to when they will be putting the episodes on DVD? Since it seems rather odd for them to be starting on the Water 7 Arc when it isnt even (completly) finished yet.[/FONT][/SIZE'][/COLOR][/quote] They'll be releasing the first Water 7 DVD on January 10. [url=http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B000KF0T1U]Source here.[/url] It also shows that the DVDs are indeed going to be released in WIDE SCREEN. And it's really not odd that Toei is starting to release the Water 7 DVDs now, since they only have 3 episodes to a disc, and these episodes aired well over two years ago.

[quote name='Ikillion][color=#d2b43b][SIZE=1][FONT=Trebuchet MS]And for those of you who have read ahead,[spoiler] Will Rem eventually give her life up for Misa in some way? I have a feeling that the foreshadowing in the whole Jealous incident that Rem will go as well. That is if Rem is a male and if she's not then...yeah[/spoiler][/FONT][/SIZE'][/COLOR][/quote] Okay, since Dagger kindly answered with a vague reply, I'll offer a more specific one, but [b]beware, people who do not want to be massively spoiled should not read ahead[/b]........ [spoiler]While it seems that shinigami don't have a gender, and can't reproduce, Rem can be seen as having much more feminine traits than most shinigami.[/spoiler] ZOMG MORE INTENSE SPOILERS AHEAD--------- [spoiler]Light takes advantage of this, because Rem develops a sort of motherly bond with Misa, and eventually gets it so that either Misa gets captured and possibly executed as the second Kira, or L dies.[/spoiler] SERIOUSLY, SPOILERS HERE, BIG ONES--------- [spoiler]So within a certain amount of time, Rem chooses to protect Misa and writes down as many of the names that are unknown, and in the way of Misa's protection in the time that it takes for her to weaken to the point of crumbling, which it seems was only L and Watari.[/spoiler]

BUMP Okay, been a while since anyone's posted in this thread, though it would be pointless to make a new one. Since this thread has been left alone for such a long time, I might as well start a discussion about the fact that it seems 4kids just stopped dubbing the show. Also, Toei is going to start putting the WS episodes on DVD starting at Water 7, or Season 8. I guess they wanted to keep continuity by keeping all of Season 7 in FS, since the HD episodes started about half way through.

[quote name='Ezekiel][SIZE=1']I haven't been able to find ep 12 anywhere, where have people been getting it from? D:[/SIZE][/quote] I just downloaded the HD raw from Share. I haven't watched it subbed yet.

Saw the movie the day it came out, just haven't been here since April. XD Great success.

Episode 12 was great, I loved Jealous' voice, perfect for his character, but then again, who's voice has NOT been perfect so far? After this series is finished, I will be comprising a compilation video recapping the most epic scenes, in chronological order in the series, it might end up being the full length of at least one episode at the rate of epic scenes in the anime so far.
