[quote name='Dagger']TRSI is great, but they only carry figures that have been picked up for a domestic release. For a wider variety, sites like [url=http://www.toyslogic.com/][u]ToysLogic[/u][/url], [url=http://www.tmpanime.com/index.php?main_page=index][u]Twin Moons[/u][/url] and [url=http://www.hlj.com/][u]HLJ[/u][/url] are better. Have you seen (NOT VERY SFW) [url=http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/82402][u]this one[/u][/url]? There's also a [url=http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/82403][u]nekomimi[/u][/url] version, ahaha... But I think my favorite sword-carrying Shana is the recent [url=http://www.amiami.com/shop/ProductInfo/product_id/77698][u]Max Factory model[/u][/url]. Love that hair. ~Dagger~[/QUOTE] [COLOR="DarkOrange"]I'd buy the NSFW one in an instant were it not so... NSFW XD Seriously, lets see the look on my mom's face when I put thaat hing up, lol. Awesome as the hair on that other one is, I don't like the way her shirt is flaring up. Just looks weird to me. [/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkOrange"]To be more specific-you saw the one episode OVA Baki the Grappler. It has since become a 2-season anime that airs frequently on the FUNimaion network. It's pretty cool - full of raw manliness. [/COLOR]

[quote name='Dagger']Which figure are you thinking of getting? (There are some really nice ones out there.) I'd be tempted myself if I were a bigger fan of the show. ~Dagger~[/QUOTE] [COLOR="DarkOrange"]I wasn't even that big a fan myself, but I just love Shana for some indeterminable reason (plus of 3 figure sites I went to, hers was the best figure I could find, lol. If you ave any site reccommendations, BTW, tell me plz) I won't be getting it from this site, but here's the one: [url]http://www.rightstuf.com/1-800-338-6827/catalogmgr/mj-YaA7PY0vLYHbaVx/browse/item/76082/4/649/252[/url][/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkOrange"]1. Make it Wit' 'Chu - Queens of the stone age 2. Soldier of Fortune - Opeth (cover) 3. Wake Up - Coheed and Cambria 4. Day 11: Love - Ayreon (best ever) 5. CHEER! ~Deep Red Feeling~ - REC 6. Prison Sex - Tool 7. Double Team - Tenacious D 8. My Girlfriend's Girlfriend - Type O Negative 9. The Mirror - Pearls and Brass 10. Destroyer - Static X 11. Kielbasa - Tenacious D 12. Stinkfist - Tool 13. Part of Me - Tool 14. H. - Tool 15. Pushit - Tool Songs that make you feel empowered (there better be some freakin Dio in there)[/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkOrange"]Des, interesting that you didn't like the first 2 eps, since they were, like, my favorite part lol. I was getting way into it - i think I remember it that way cuz Yuuiji becomes less interesting as the show progresses, but Shana remains consistantly awesome (I'm so getting a figure of her this week!) Also, regarding the melon bread (as well as her easily destracted-ness) I kept thinking to add them but didn't think anyone'd notice, heh.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkOrange"]Revolver, your parents probably have bad credit. Also, I , too, am uder 17, so I guess I'm developing as well. Goodbye, Face, I have a cousin who's a huge [B]Boris[/B] fan... I haven't heard enough and they reinvent themselves too much for me to decide. After hearing some of that annoying *** drone **** I was turned off of them, though I would mind hearing more of their better stuff. [/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkOrange"]ZOMG, just listened to [B]Fate of Norns[/B] myself... I have no idea why I don't own this album! I've thought about getting it for a long time, and I had a friend who said he'd split the price and let me keep the disk. I really might have to hurry up and get into these guys. Didn't they just release something, too? I saw some big flaming this last time I was at FYE.[/COLOR]

[quote name='Revolver'][COLOR="Olive"]And how do you think feel when people call my music bad. I take it serious too. But obvioulsy you can't be picky about generic mainstream music. [/COLOR][/QUOTE] [COLOR="DarkOrange"]If you go into a a thread marked PRETENTIOUS you should expect to get roughed around. You do know the definition of the word, don't you? If you'd just listen to some better music we wouldn't have this problem :p Also, Jake, have you heard the [B]Dethklok[/B] song "The Lost Vikings" yet? It's so [B]Amon Amarth[/B]-esque that when I get it stuck in my head I sometimes think it's them XD[/COLOR]

[quote name='Revolver'][COLOR="Olive"]I'd really love to punch your face goodbye.... I will say this one last time... I WAS JOKING![/COLOR][/QUOTE] [COLOR="DarkOrange"]I hope you learnt a lesson here - pretentious people don't **** around. Anywho, has anyone here ever heard of [B]THE ALFEE[/B]? They're a Japanese prog-rock band with that 80s prog-rock sound (since they're old as hell) I found out about them through [url=http://youtube.com/watch?v=dmFGDhJDwhE]this anime opening[/url], and they sound pretty ****** great. [/COLOR]

[quote name='Revolver'][COLOR="Olive"]It wasn't that good at the beginning either. The video was pretty neat though.[/COLOR][/QUOTE] [COLOR="DarkOrange"]Like I said, it's not a very great song. Dude, you have not even heard the tip of the TMV iceburg. [/COLOR]

[quote name='Revolver'][COLOR="Olive"]Here's the answer...you can. You can be picky withanything really. Cause good music is mostly broughtby personal opinion. You can be pciky about generic music. Even though sme artists I listen to aren't, even though people say they are. It's all preferences. How can you be picky with generic music... said the man who liked Mastadon. :P [spoiler] It's just a joke.Mastadon's pretty good.[/spoiler][/color][/QUOTE] [COLOR="DarkOrange"]EXCEPT [B]MASTODON[/B] IS NOT GENERIC!!!!!!!!!! Breaking Benjamin is generic. Coheed, within it's genre, is prolly generic. There aren't any bands who sound like Mastodon.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkOrange"]My little brother just got a PSP for his birthday. It's not as bad as I thought it would be - he seems to enjoy it enough. [/COLOR]

[quote name='Revolver'][COLOR="Olive"]Yeah, I completely agree with Jake. Only a few actuall tolerable Metalcore bands out there. I do agree with BTBAM, even though I've only heard them in commercials. well, I'm listening to Delerium Trigger, whch is one of Co&Ca's best songs. I've been tinkering with WMP9, and have been fixing the info on my bands. It's made music more enjoyable. The Mars Volta ison now. It's from De-Loused in the Comatorium, and it's pretty good. It's Televators. But it's not as good as DB siad they were. But then again, I can't judge by one song. EDIT: Well I stand corrected, it got better towards the end. I guess they are good. Don't know if I'd make a habit of listening to them though.[/COLOR][/QUOTE] [COLOR="DarkOrange"]Televators is their one ballad, and possibly my least favorite song on De-loused. [/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkOrange"]I would have bought the E for sure were it not that I already have the character limit in my name.[/COLOR]

[quote name='Sandy']Even though there weren't any points dealt in the previous parts, all the characters were still acting crazy in them. ;P It's just the nature of this game: total isolation and deadly traps makes people go insane. X) Good going, guys! Three of you have 5 Death Points, and one has 4 Life Points. BK and DB, you really need to step up to the plate if you want to open your scoreboard. Oh, and don't you ever relate political correctness to this game. There's absolutely nothing PC about this, and that's the way it should be. ;D[/QUOTE] [COLOR="DarkOrange"]Ugh... you might want to just roast my character or something, I'm not sure if I can even mangage to participate in this thing. I haven't even been able to keep up with my own rp, and the very little time I do have to spend on rps, I'd like to spend on my own. I'm sorry for the trouble; if I'd known it'd be this way I wouldn't have signed up in the first place. As it stands, this rp moves much too fast for me (I haven't read but like 3 posts - i didn't even read them before I made my own) and I don't particularly feel interested in catching up. Sorry guys, I'll catch it on the next run. [/COLOR]

[quote name='Rachmaninoff']Hmm... Well even with school, I have time to post. But then this is my final semester for getting my masters and all of the really time consuming work has already been done in previous semesters. I don't really have homework or rather enough to matter. [[SIZE="1"]I don't count practicing since that's a given whether I'm in school or not[/SIZE]] But honestly, I give out more homework than I actually get. lol [/QUOTE] [COLOR="DarkOrange"]My current grade in AP English 11 is a 28% and I have to bring it up to passing in a matter of about 2 weeks. And I am NOT allowed to drop the class. I hope that's enough of an excuse for everyone. [/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkOrange"][B]Title[/B]: Shakugan no Shana [B]Genre[/B]: Supernatural, Shounen Action [B]For Fans of[/B]: Zero no Tsukaima, Shin Megami Tensei [B]Length[/B]: 24 episodes (season 2 coming soon) [B]Availability[/B]: 6 DVDs by Genoen (meaning buy them with much speed!) [B]The Pros[/B]: - Pure style. Dark tones remniscent of the Shin Megami Tensei games. - Great characters who all play their roles wonderfully - Interesting mythology [B]The Cons[/B]: - Rather poor writing/directing all around - The 'we're in a hurry, so let's stand still for 10 minutes' syndrom - The 'groups of enemies just surround you and don't actually attack, while single enemies hold off on finishing the fight until it's too late' syndrome [B]Story[/B]: [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakugan_no_Shana]HERE[/url] [IMG]http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b269/MetalSonic700/shana01.jpg[/IMG] I really enjoyed Shana for several things - the awesome style and great characters, and since both of those facets remained consistant throughout, I managed to have a lot of fun with this series, and I look forward to the next season. Admittedly, the show had a number of problems. Despite the great style, the animation isn't anything wonderful and the fight scenes are not particularly exciting. The worst thing in my opinion, though, was the writing. Mind you, it wasn't all bad in that department, but I think it degraded as the show pushed on. For instance, as 'life force' slowly went from the power of being alive to the enemy's power level (luckily this didn't become to horrible, though it did go OVER 9000!!!!) Also, people say some really confusing things. I mean, just hen you think you've figured out the situation, suddenly you're not sure wat the hell the plan was on eithe side. Stll, though, if you look at the fighting and plotting all as background to th character development then it isn't so bad. While Shana doesn't have the most original plot of all time, I think it has some really interesting characters. A lot of people compare Shana to Louise of ZnT, Nagi of Hayate no Gotoku, and some other character from Nanoha (partly because they all have the same voice actor, and partly because al of them have tsundere quality) however none of them are really al that alike, and Shana is by far the most believable and great of them. Her and Yuuji make a great duo and they're just plain fun to watch together, especially in their happy moments. Margery Dawn is fun too, though Marcotious is the real star of the duo. The smart-mouthed book has the best voice ever and he is hilarious. Ah, my beautiful MARGERY DAWN! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Also, there's her minions who were both awesome. I think they played really well off of each-other. Most of the enemies were memorable as well and interesting. The twins were my fvorite, of course, with their constant making out and all-around craziness - they're hard not to love. I also wish we could have seen more of the Undertaker since he was a fun character, and I have the sneaking suspition that rainbow-skeleton-man Shiro will be back too. But that could just be me getting my hopes up. [/COLOR]

[quote name='Ikillion'][COLOR="Black"][FONT="Trebuchet MS"][SIZE="1"]Oh man, you even came up with a chart for the game as well? I'm very impressed, you really did put a large amount of time into this didn't you? Great job on such a fun game. Can't wait to see what you come up with next.[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE] [COLOR="DarkOrange"]I, too, can't wait. Even if most of the answers in this game were less than satisfying, it was still fun to play along. Has it really been 18 weeks?![/COLOR]

[quote name='SunfallE'][COLOR="RoyalBlue"][FONT="Lucida Sans Unicode"]*is wondering when this ASAP is going to be* :p [/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE] [COLOR="DarkOrange"]It's gunna be a long-ass time because this weekend was my lil bro's b-day and I've got a sh*t-f*ck*ng-*ss load of sh*t to do for school that's making my tear my own brain out of my ears. [/COLOR]

[quote name='Revolver'][COLOR="Olive"]Yup. I intend to buy Good Apollo Vol 2: No world for Tommorow as well. I'm going to get the Good Apollo book for English 8 too. I like the beggining to Everything Evil [Accoustic]. The Army of Darkness quote was quite awesome. "This is my BOOMSTICK!" Welcome Home is another Co&Ca song that falls under the A-ma-zing catagory. For soem reason, the Windows Media Player put SSTB under Alternative rock. It's prog...>_>[/COLOR][/QUOTE] [COLOR="DarkOrange"]The quote was in the acoustic Junesong Provision, ya twit. Anywho, while Welcome Home is great, The Final Cut from the same album beats the hell outta it. Unfortuanetally, those are the only songs I'm all too fond of from the album. Besides, epic and awesome as Welcome Home is, it is nothing but epic frivolousness it's just 'let's see how much climax we can fit into one song' which guess isn't really such a bad thing anyway. I have rather low expectations for the next album since IMO each is progressively worse, and The Running Free sounds like most of Good Apollo does. I still need to get a new Good Apollo GN sincce the stupid ****ing animal pissed on my other one >_>[/COLOR]

[quote name='Revolver'][COLOR="Olive"]I bought Second Stage Turbine Bdade today. Delerium Trgger is the best on the album. Along with Time Consumer. But I'm listening to the best band ever. Breaking Benajmin. And one of my favs by them, Firefly.[/COLOR][/QUOTE] [COLOR="DarkOrange"]Delirium Trigger is, without question, the greatest Coheed song. SSTB is also their best album by a long shot. Time Consumer, Everything Evil, Delirium Trigger, Neverender, and if you have the special edition, Elf Tower New Mexico are the best tracks. Delium Trigger, though, blows everything else out of the water in a very similar way that This Apparatus Must be Unearthed does for the Mars Volta. Also, Prem, now that you own all 3 Coheed albums, half my chapter titles should make sense by now XD[/COLOR]

[quote name='Revolver'][COLOR="Olive"]I've told you countless times dude, my internet doesn't play videos. Even if it's not a vid, this piece of **** ISP wouldn't be able to download it, let alone the site. Maybe yahoo Music has it, if so, I'll check it out at the school library. I'll give anything a try. If If I'm ever in the loacal library I'll check back to this thread. I wonder if Firefox is any better?[/COLOR][/QUOTE] [COLOR="DarkOrange"]Um, yes, Firefox is better. And it's not a vid, and you CAN listen to it, I guarantee you. [/COLOR]

[quote name='Revolver'][COLOR="Olive"]No, don't plan on either. I'm not a big prog guy, even though Co&Ca is, they are an exeption. Sorry if i seem like a prick Db, if I ever met you in a parking lot, I'd listen to your music. Becasue it is still good music. But hey, A7X has a new song out, and it is great, way better than other songs by the. Almost Easy is the name. Better than the remake of Walk, which I thought sucked. I don't care about my music taste anymore, it'll still be better than most of my friends music collection. No offense to them. [/COLOR][/QUOTE] [COLOR="DarkOrange"][B]The Mars Volta[/B] is NOT prog. They are not even classifiable by genre by any stretch of the imagination. Also, I hope you followed that link or I'll *****-slap you through a wall. [/COLOR]

[quote name='Revolver'][COLOR="Olive"]No Mars Volta. I'll try dredg but that's it. Dredg perfomred on Jimmy Kimmel actually. DB I'll never have good taste like you, so I don't think Mars is for me, ya know? A good song now would be Pretender by Foo Fighteres. Normally I hate this band, but this song is really good. Far to Midland isn't Prog dude. T_T Tool is the shizz BTW.[/COLOR][/QUOTE] [COLOR="DarkOrange"]The hell? Have you ever even listened to The Mars Volta? As a matter of fact, what the hell are you talking about?[/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkOrange"]Unfortuanetally, I have 0 time to help out. I'm terribly sorry.[/COLOR]
