I think there are harsher stories than Buso Renkin, for a Shonen Jump piece it might be less happy than others.

There is a comment in one of the Manga's from the writer.

"Tokkiko likes to rip out peoples guts as much as Kazuki likes to bleed."

Anyawy,

Picked up a good lot of Anime from the London Expo at a good price

Including:

Buso Renkin vol 1&2 (because I want to hear it)
Black Lagoon Barrage 1: vol 1&2
Mushishi vol 2-3.

seen that one and totally depressing at the end of that arc. i have seen more depressing anime granted but for some reason buso renkin saddned me. which is unlike me as an anime's go it is really notihng special.

Well, the name comes from Angelic Layer... but yeah, when that Angel was revealed to have the name Blanche, I had the same reaction

I finally got round to watching some of Monster. 4 episodes in and it feels like the show Death Note should have been, just with a creepy human monster instead of fairytale apple-addicts.

Another successful conversion! Huzzah!

I have to bring up Gundam 00 episode 4, after the Mysterious Masked Man (yes, we do know who he is really) the fans dubbed Bushido Bob revealed his name to be... Mistah Bushido!

People wanted to know just what the heck I was laughing at...

Say, windknight, why don't you start a thread for Gundamoo? I'd contribute to it and it would help cure the problem of this thread being the only one on the Anime board that ever gets bumped. If you don't feel like it, I'll write one instead.

In fact, I challenge everyone reading this thread to pick ONE anime they're watching at the moment and start a thread about it. Let's get some action up in this something-that-rhymes-with-bitch!

Where did you get them from?

Is it only available on-line? I've never seen it in shops (or even conventions :( )

Comment removed completely. Er, except for this :oops:

Can I borrow them from your Japanese translator friend? No-one seems to sell them (though I'm nearly finished on the Manga's so I'm not that fussed, just curious how it plays out and what the voice acting's like).
