Dagger Posted August 25, 2004 Author Share Posted August 25, 2004 I have good news for you, iggypopD. It was recently been confirmed that [b]Bleach[/b] is in fact currently being made into an anime. The series should start airing in Japan sometime this fall, and I'm sure it will be quite popular. :) ~Dagger~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, if you could, let me know the location! I'm on Vol. 2, and I must say, it's been one great manga experience! The main character, Ichigo Kurosaki, thinks the way I think and has the same attitude on life that I do. Plus, his "theme song" is by Bad Religion, a great band I listen to. I think either the VO of Kiba (sorry, I don't know the name) from "Wolf's Rain" would be a good choice fo Ichigo. He is the VO for Vash,too, I think. And the girl who VO's Lavie from Last Exile would be a good choice for Orhime. Ahh...I can't believe it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I haven't read the Bleach manga, I'm really looking forward to the show; it just sounds like my sort of thing. Kiba's English voice actor is Johnny Yong Bosch, who also played Vash in Trigun and Claus in Last Exile. Kari Wahlgren (Robin in Witch Hunter Robin, Cher in Wolf's Rain, Haruko in FLCL) is Lavie. ~Dagger~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly reccomend you read "Bleach", it's just really cool. Anyway, not to get off the topic,a title named "Shutter Box" by Tokyopop would be cool animated. I read a sample of it, and I liked it alot. This girl Megan dreams of this university where dead souls live, but she is still alive while there. Then, one day, she looks in the shutter box of her camera and find something disturbing. She then begins to question her own self and the reality around her. I'm not sure if this is girl's manga, but regardless, it sounds really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagger Posted September 22, 2004 Author Share Posted September 22, 2004 I can easily imagine [b]Stigma[/b] (a beautiful one-volume manga by the creator of Saiyuki) being made into a two or three episode OVA. It's obvious that a lot of time and love was lavished upon Stigma; the artwork--a more refined, polished version of the manga-ka's readily identifiable style--is stunningly gorgeous and in full, vibrant color to boot. The dialogue is dreamy, lyrical and packed with potent symbolism. Despite its short length, Stigma is among the best shounen-ai manga I've ever read. This story defies categorization. The shounen-ai content is extremely minimal and tastefully done, and I would characterize the relationship between the two lead characters as a very deep and intense kind of love--nonsexual, but definitely not wholly platonic. Though I'm extremely leery of big age differences and anything else which might lead to hints of shotacon, I didn't experience any qualms when reading Stigma (one of the main characters appears to be in his early twenties or late teens, while the other is probably younger than fifteen). Only a really versatile anime studio would be able to successfully duplicate Kazuya Minekura's striking artwork. However, Stigma is a unique one-shot from a popular manga-ka, and I can't begin to describe how great it could be if animated well. ~Dagger~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
