[quote name='Indi'][COLOR="Indigo"][FONT="Arial"]Turn him in. [/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"]Agreed, this man obviously hasn't reformed at all from his time spent in prison and is now putting four children in danger through his illegal trade. If worst comes to worst, and I'm hesitent to bring this up you and your fiancee could consider applying for custody of the children by proving her sister is an unfit mother. Evidently she's shown little concern for them and given the amount of care you and your fiancee give to them exceeds hers and would probably be a far, far better environment for them to grow up in. That may be the best way in the end you can care for them. Hopefully after she's cleaned up the kids can be returned but right now you might need to think of the best interests of the children.[/SIZE]

[quote name='Solo Tremaine'][COLOR=#503F86]Oh, I see. For a scary, scary moment I thought you were shipping the two >.>;[/COLOR][/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"]*Coughs and looks away* If it keeps you happy and sane I wasn't.[/SIZE]

[SIZE="1"]This thread has been idle a while guys, are you waiting for Sephiroth to post the votes or has the game just...well died ? [B][Edit][/b] Or third question, is the game actually over ?[/SIZE]

[quote name='Solo Tremaine'][COLOR=#503f86]You like say what now? o______o;[/COLOR][/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"]Meh it's all down to how awesomely manipulative Kabuto is written in them, or the mutual loathing that goes on. They're not happy fics but they're often quite good reads.[/SIZE] [quote name='Solo Tremaine'][COLOR=#503f86]In other news, I'd actually forgotten about Kabuto. I wouldn't particularly mind if Shizune died either. I think if Tsunade and Shizune both go then that's all but paved the way for the elder guy to take over, and for Naruto to come back and teach everyone what it means to be Hokage when Sasuke finally gets his sorry arse back to try and destroy everything, or something like that.[/COLOR][/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"] Well Pein looks as if he's going to withdraw now rather than continue to assault Konoha given he's found what he came there looking for. More likely Root and Danzo will choose this time to attempt their coup against the Hokage and may or may not succeed (it's hard to guess here). Possibly Tsunade might die against Danzo during the coup if Danzo is revealed in fact to be another of Madara's multitude of identites. As for Naruto and Sasuke facing off, I reckon Naruto will intercept Sasuke either by chance or by choice in the Valley of the End for their rematch.[/SIZE]

[quote name='Ikillion'][FONT="Trebuchet MS"][SIZE="1"] Although I highly doubt that Setsuna will reveal this to him that she is a part of A-LAWS until he either kills her if at all, but the shock once he realizes what it is he's done will be all but delicious.[/SIZE][/FONT][/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"]Well apparently based on the same spoilers that revealed [spoiler]Saji would be the O-Raiser's pilot, it was also revealed he would indeed find out she is in the A-Laws and plans to "save her" from them. Lord knows how in a [I]Gundam[/I] he's going to accomplish that given how she freaks when she sees them.[/spoiler] Oooh delicious.[/SIZE]

[SIZE="1"]Well interestingly Gonzo have pushed forward the release date for the second season of Druaga to January coming. They've already released the teaser trailer and I'm really pleased we're getting the next instalment of the series six months earlier than expected. [url=http://www.druaga-anime.com/gallery_mov.html][b]Trailer link[/b][/url]. Thoughts ?[/SIZE]

[quote name='Magus']I'm actually still trying to catch this from the beginning. Fighting-wise, I think it's really good, but I don't know anything that was going on. In any case, I am happy to hear that there's going to be a 2nd season. I'm still hoping the series will be a little longer. (13 episodes atleast, 24-26 at most.)[/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"]Yeah I ended up buying the first season on DVD just to know what the heck was the overall story going on in the background. As for how many episodes will make up the second season I doubt it's going to be any more than the first one given it costs Gonzo about a million dollars per episode to produce. I guess Sam L is taking a fairly big paid-cut compared to what he could make, but then he really does love the series.[/SIZE]

[quote name='ChibiHorsewoman'][color=#9933ff]And by retarded I mean from the french meaning half formed.[/color][/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"]Actually Chibi in French "retard" translates to refer to "being late" or "lateness" depending on the context. Nice that my six years of high school French can still come in useful. [/SIZE]

[SIZE="1"]Such an awesome expression on the cat's face. The Force is with this one. [CENTER] [IMG]http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/funny-pictures-telekinesis-cat-plays-with-his-food.jpg[/IMG][/SIZE][/CENTER]

[SIZE="1"]Would you like fries with that ? [CENTER][IMG]http://punditkitchen.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/political-pictures-here-liberty.jpg[/IMG][/SIZE][/CENTER]

[I][SIZE="1"]This post would contain an eloquent rant from Gavin on what a terrible disservice this is to people but he has mislaid his dictionary.[/i] Kidding aside this is nothing short of moronic to the point it reminds me of the Blackadder episode where Edmund must rewrite the first ever dictionary.[/SIZE]

[quote name='Magus']Oh snap.... I forgot about them that quick. With that said, are they gonna try to fight Yama, or is he gonna stand aside?[/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"] After seeing what happened to Allon I'm going to give them some credit and say they'll beat a hasty retreat, though knowing the old man he couldn't be bothered to deal with trash like that anyway. I imagine Hisagi and Kira will probably go and finish them off. In reference to that "what's going on with Halibel and Toshirou", I think we all know the little twerp is being played with and will eventually have his backside handed to him in the very near future. I actually want to see Gin's reaction to Matusmoto's injuries from Allon for some reason, just to see if he does still care. [[b]Edit with this week's spoilers[/b]] Well this week's chapter seems to wrap up a few more plots than we expected, Halibel's Fraccion after seeing their chimera formed of feminine gattai wiped out by Yama-jii in a few seconds decide it's a great course of action to attack him...yeah...great plan there... As expected Yama gives a mini-speech and burnates them with extreme prejudice. Halibel on seeing her Fraccion's get toasted decides to flash Toshirou...in order to reveal she's the 3rd Espada and admits that she's only been toying with him so far. Expect an ***-kicking to follow quite soon. Cut to Stark and Kyouraku who are still bantering to one another, Kyouraku's pervert senses obviously sensed the naked breasts and the topic of Stark's own position in the hierarchy comes up. Apparently he'd be happier if Stark were #2 to which Stark responds he will have to disappoint whipping of his left glove to reveal the 1 on his palm. Seems my predictions as to the top three were correct after all. Anyway most importantly next week we're apparently back to Hueco Mundo for the likely final showdown between Strawberry and Emocar. [/SIZE]

[SIZE="1"]Actually I wouldn't mind seeing Kabuto make a reappearance in the near future, as villains went he was certainly interesting and dare I say it original. His skills would certainly be of use to Konoha now in dealing with another necromancer and I've always had a weird liking for Kabuto/Sakura fics. O_o[/SIZE]

[quote name='Solo Tremaine'][COLOR=#503F86]And Kakashi's not confirmed dead yet, so shush >.>;[/COLOR][/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"]The operative word being "yet" my dear friend. Funnily enough Kakashi would probably finally actually have the power we all expected of him post timeskip if that were to happen.[/SIZE]

[SIZE="1"]OK having read this week's chapter just now I have to say I still don't like the idea of Konohamaru beating (if that is indeed what happened as it's not very clear one way or another) one of Pein's bodies in combat, especially as he pulled Naruto's patented Dummy Bunshin/Rasengan combo to do so. One of the things that I don't get though is why Konohamaru needs two clones to pull off the move, given Naruto's chakra moulding is abysmal it's never been stated Konohamaru has the same problem. Perhaps it's just he learned the same method. The rest of the chapter wasn't bad though, well except for the fact we only had theories confirmed rather than anything major revealed. I think now Kakashi and/or Jiraiya may be revived to replace the bodies Pein has lost so far, given his art of necromancy.[/SIZE]

[quote name='Magus']Haha, that's just too hard to picture. Kanonji in a shinigami outfit.... I don't know, while I've never pegged Isshin to be a shinigami, it does fit here. Like father like son was the concept here... (or so that's what I believe.) While I can't see Kanonji as a shinigami, I'd see him more being similar to Chad or Orihime. Very cool for him to be a shinigami.... Err... To each their own. [size=1]Like Omaeda, natural hate for him as well. Can't stand characters who're around just for comic relief.[/size] I think I'd rather see Ichigo as a quincy before seeing Kanonji as a shinigami.[/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"] Well when I say "Shinigami" I mean he gets the personality shift away from idiot to serious as Isshin did during his big reveal, man that man was cool in those scenes. Obviously if Kanonji were to be a Shinigami he'd have to be a cool customer with some kind of reason as to why he's now on Earth putting on the facade of a popular entertainer. You can just imagine him meeting up with Urahara and Isshin after that fight on the rooftop (because fillers don't count) and discussing Ichigo's development.[/SIZE]

[quote name='Magus']If Kanoji was an ex-shinigami then what would that make Ururu and Jinta? I'm pretty certain they're leagues above Kanoji. [spoiler]mini-vaizards?[/spoiler][/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"]One fairly popular theory is that Urura and Jinta are [spoiler]gigai/mod-soul combinations like Nemu[/spoiler]. Given the relationship between Urahara and [spoiler]Mayuri[/spoiler] there is plausibility in it. That said just because Kanonji doesn't display power does not equate to the fact that he has no power, Isshin being the best example here. Heh besides it's just a crack theory, though it would be very cool if it came true.[/SIZE]

[SIZE="1"]Crys suggested this for me. I still laugh every time I hear it. [CENTER][YOUTUBE="Vash Loves Porn"]D6fjAxj3zek[/YOUTUBE][/SIZE][/CENTER]

[SIZE="1"]Reminds me of the Warhammer Online trailer. [CENTER][IMG]http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/funny-pictures-do-not-use-your-catapult-indoors.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] I know I dread when my younger cousins come and decide our cats look so fun to play with.

[SIZE="1"]I know I would. ^_^ [CENTER][IMG]http://roflrazzi.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/celebrity-pictures-monroe-admit-it.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER][/SIZE]

[SIZE="1"]I had to laugh at this because it's so true. [CENTER][IMG]http://punditkitchen.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/political-pictures-anarchy.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] May Bush-lols never end.

[quote name='Ikillion'][FONT="Trebuchet MS"][COLOR=#35160f][SIZE="1"] Also just for fun, [spoiler]Saji has been confirmed to be the pilot of the O Raiser[/spoiler][/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT][/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"]Called it . ^_^ [spoiler]And you just know he's going to end up fighting his girlfriend at some stage too because 00 likes to screw people over like that.[/spoiler][/SIZE]

[quote name='Shinmaru']If you liked [b]Code Geass[/b], then might I suggest [b]Mobile Suit Gundam 00[/b]? [b]Gundam 00[/b] has all of [b]Geass[/b]' strengths (good action, prettiness and a crazy story), and also has a great cast of characters (don't know about you, but I couldn't stand, like, 90 percent of [b]Geass[/b]' characters by the end of the first season).[/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"]Agreed, overall I prefer Code Geass as a series though the second season seemed to lose the overall plot about half-way through but Gundam 00 is certainly worth a look if you enjoyed Code Geass to a moderate degree. As Mike said there's plenty of action and drama with a good story and few enough of the characters will get on your nerves, that said I only disliked a few of CG's characters. [/SIZE]

[quote name='Solo Tremaine'][COLOR=#503F86]Well, at least there's a clear definition of ability levels here, as opposed to certain other mangas. Imagine if Don Kanonji had taken it out instead >.>; (Although admittedly, that could actually be quite awesome...)[/COLOR][/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"]I now repeat my assertion that Kanonji is secretly an ex-Shinigami captain in one of Urahara's gigai by purview of the fact everyone who Ichigo has ever seemed to encounter/train with (I count that as training) has been a Shinigami captain. Bwahahahaha.[/SIZE]

[quote name='Ace'][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Yeah, too bad Konohamaru sucks [I]more[/I] because of this. Seriously, he should have been either left as comic relief or Kishi should have taken steps to ensure that it was possible to take him seriously before now.[/FONT][/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"]I think that's the real kicker here if developed properly Konohamaru is effectively one more link in the great ninja chain extending down from the Shodaime but it seems Kishi isn't sure whether he wants him to provide comic relief or be serious hero material, quite like the way he portrays Naruto really. Either way thought he idea that he could beat an S-Rank ninja alone with one technique stinks of bad plot rather than hax.[/SIZE]
