When I have extra money left over, I buy cheese.
Fairy Tail

There's only two series I buy now: FMA, so I have the volumes and don't have to keep scrolling through the online pages, and Gensomaden Saiyuki: Reload, mostly because you can't find it online.

@Fire Fist:

saiyuki reload….isn't that the series that resembles the story goku is baised off of better than dragonball?
-
Well, sort of. It's a modern spin on the tale, and instead of Hakkai being a Pig, he's a Youkai (Demon) that was forcefully changed from a human; Sha Gojyo isn't a Water Sprite but a Half-Demon, Half-Human created when his father had an affair with a human woman (Which resulted in him being abused by his step-mother), and Son Goku really isn't a monkey, just a special type of demon created by the gods (Though he still has his Nyoi-Bo and certainly acts like a monkey).
It's a pretty good series, I'd recommend it.
-
I'll look into it, and judging by the title is there a series before saiyuki reload?
-
Yeah, I only buy the FMA and One Piece volumes… well, I'm going to start buying Fairy Tail now to though :P lol
Especially since I love the company that translates it~ They're like what Viz used to be
-
viz is decent there not that bad IMO.
The only problem with del rey I have is there name translations like: Mistogan, jaazeel, Laxus they make me cringe.
-
Well, in their defense the FT names can translate a number of ways… but I see what you're saying. I only bought volume 1 from them, and seeing japanese terms left in was a nice touch I thought.
-

The first series is just called Saiyuki. It's 9 volumes. Reload picks up after the huge revelation in Volume 9 about a certain character who until then was a minor one.
And I might get the fairy tail volumes… I need to reread the first few arcs, i kinda skipped ahead to the Garuna Island Arc.

viz is shit. del-rey is god-like.
read a quality/del-rey manga, ANY ONE, and you'll immediately
notice how crap Viz is by comparison.The only problem with del rey I have is there name translations like: Mistogan, jaazeel, Laxus they make me cringe.
weren't they GIVEN a huge list of terms and names that Mashima chose as the official romanizations?
those're the terms they're FORCED to use. del-rey is a company that seems to be a HUGE stickler for fidelity considering they include pages of linear notes explaining ANYTHING that gets changed and japanese in-jokes that were left in. also, unlike viz, the writing is actually…good. who cares if the naruto ninja's all have their damn names if the dialogue reads like shit? -
I like viz's translations. There none jump stuff is good from what I can recall.

That shit was cool, let it go guys.

If he pays for his online manga viewing. Only assuming that he reads manga than i'll stop with the crunchyroll sucks routine but if he's not paying some site to read manga than he's a hypocrite.
Crunchyroll is legit, now, in case you missed the notice. Not only that, but it's a darned-good deal. >10$ per month for access to all the anime on their site. I don't see why you'd mock someone for getting the most out of their dollar. We're quite fortunate to be getting a legal stream an hour after broadcast, right from the start of the show's run.
@Ao:

It may be clear that Mashima's grasp of the English language isn't quite subperb, but these are the official romanizations, chosen by the author. Again, we're pretty fortunate to have them. It's a bit of a shame the scanlators don't use them.
-
I remember when crunchyroll was a free anime site… good days...
-
-
I just watched episode 4 of Fairy Tail, it was hilarious. BTW, the last few mins, were those really in the manga…

This post is deleted!

! The raw's out.
! Natsu Vs Zero.. generic crubstom, highjacked by Gerard, EVIL Gerard.
! The Lachrima destroyers were Gray, Lucy, Erza, Ichiya (perfume guy) and… Happy... For some reason Erza forbide Gerard from trying to destroy the Lachrima.
! Curious about how Happy and Ichiya will destroy theirs, but I want for Lucy to use Scorpio!!! Please spoils of war.
! The last one, either the one who is still standing after the battle, or they time it precisely for a missfire of Zero. -
With all this Gerard shit going on around, i feel like Mistgun can pop up anytime :O

Once again… Mistgun is an illusion mage. He's Gerard as much as Aaroniero was Kaien.

During episode 4, did anyone else totally lose it when the fortune teller told Gray "You'll get an unexpected visitor. Avoid girls and water"? XD

while i found that funny, i found it more funny just the fact that it seemed like he was gonna use some cool magic and yet was just a measly fortune teller.
-
damn I can't seem to download the raw from raw-paradise it takes me to mega upload and than says: the file you are currently trying to access is unnavailable
-
lol next eps is gona be funny but Erza don look that sexy tho :(
-
! :( My bad, happy wasn't taking over no 6, just reminding them that the 6 had to be done simultaniously..
-
ok I was finally able to DL the chapter raw
! what the hell? so zero knows makensapopo (sp?) guess that he was trained by piccolo and i'm guessing that gerard is evil? or is he just getting natsu out of the way in order to defeat zero himself, zero no longer looks menacing like he did a chapter ago
-
! Brain knew the exact same technique and used it against Jura; it's just that Zero is using it more often.
! Also, why do Zero's eyes keep changing colour? First, they're black with white pupils, and now, they're the opposite, and they keep changing every so often. -
! mashima is giving a "hint" to the animation team that zero's eyes will fade in an out going from black to white to black than back to white
-
Nice chapter, I admit that Fairy tail has been letdown after guild war against Phantom but this was pretty sweet chapter.
Gerard has his memorys back and is nasty again what is good, I really did not see point having goodie-Gerard around.
Zero is pretty intresting, I wonder what will happen next. I hope that tension stays up atleast few more chapters.
-
So um, any indication as to why Mr "I will destroy anything that has physical form!!" Didn't destroy the heroes physical form? I mean, I know it's a standard shonen cliche that the beat up heroes get up for another round, but it just seems strange that Zero directly adresses this problem, and says he'll solve it by destroying them completely….and then does the excact opposite.
I mean, then why havig him say that in the first place if he's just contradic it seconds later? -
That's a pretty dumb question, no heroes = no manga.
Also it's a kids story… rollseyes
-
Chapter's Out.
And I think Gerard is still good. I bet he'll try to make natsu as strong as he was when he was beaten by him in the last arc.
That's all that interests me inthis chapter.
-
That's a pretty dumb question, no heroes = no manga.
Also it's a kids story… rollseyes
I'm aware that this is a standard shonen rife with cliche, aimed at young people and all that.
It's just tremendously contradictory and stupid to have the villain go: "see those bodies there? I'm gonna disentegrate them. Because that's the kinda villain I am, my whole defining trait really". And in the next scene we see….that he didn't disentegrate them. We don't getan explanation such as "their durability was too high for me to destroy them!" or "I changed my mind!" or "They switched themselves with dummies/illusions/whatever and escaped harm while letting me think I did what I was just saying I was going to do!"It's like if Zero spent time stressing very specifically that he'd, I dunno, paint a great big crude drawing on all of the heroes faces. But when they turn up, they don't have anything at all.
-
So read the chapter and…...ummm......wha?
I'm looking forward to Erza's anime debut next week,i just hope they don't overdo the strict and scaryish part of her personality liked they were in the forshadowing. And the first real arc starts so hopefully the fight animations will match that, the fights up to now have been kinda too light hearted and stuff
-
Looks like the scanlation by this new group is pretty good. In all honesty, I was kinda getting sick and tired of IEatSoul's work. Although, they are better than INP. shudder
Thoughts:
! -Jubia in arabic harem garb = YUMMY!
-Zero
-Oh, and Jeral is a bad boy again.
-Other than that, not much else really grabbed my attention this chapter. Still a good chapter though, despite the Piccoloness of the situation. :P -
yeah, i lol'd at the special beam cannon.
-
! has anyone noticed the lack of Natsu's arm in the last few pages?
! Or is it just me?
! EDIT: My bad…its there...Damn -
157 said we'd be getting a bonus chapter along with 158 this week. So…where is it?
-
Special Namek Beam
Yep, it seems we all thought that.
After reading the last page… aw, fuck.
I bet he'll show up in the next arc too. I hope they kill him off for good this time.
-
So Gerard is the final villain again, how expected.
-
bouns chapter is up on Onemanga
-
wow the extra chap was so weird
-
Hey, at least it had Kana. DAMMIT I want a Kana arc. I just love card-magic users.
-
Was expecting something Halloweenish. It was still fun though.
EDIT: Also, doesn't this make Natsu and the group one year older now?
-
Episode 4
- Everlue arc finishes up in the first half, and all is well. Still felt rushed.
- The, "Dear Kaby" scene felt a whole lot less magical, for some reason.
- The highlight of the episode was the new material on the second half. Nice little camping scene, and Gray was not unwelcome at all, though I'm surprised they held off on showing his ice magic.
- LOL at the Crystal Ball guy's prediction.
- Kageyama made a brief cameo. Quite frankly, I don't see why. Yeah, it's not like he was ever reluctant to kill his own guild-mates, but that just seems so… out of the way. How did he know these guys would blab about Lullaby?
- Erza next episode. I have to say, I really liked the brief shot of Erigor's character design. He looked older, and more grim.
Extra Chapter
- Kana. Yes.
- The art was really good for some reason. Way above average; in fact, the regular chapter seemed really pretty as well.
- Very cute, and very funny.
Overall, a nice little bonus.
Chapter 158
- Everyone is all good and jolly, they all pair up to take #'s 0-6. I really liked this idea last chapter, but the lack of enemies guarding five of the weak points makes me think this was just an excuse to split Natsu up from the rest of the group.
- If that's the case, neither Erza, Lucy, Gray nor anyone else had better show up at that crystal.
- I like Erza's faith in Natsu, but it honestly sounds like it would be a better plan to gang up on Zero, take him down, and then split up and hit the points afterward.
- Then again, the Cat Shelter morons won't evacuate when a magical cannon is pointed directly at them.
- Natsu's nose can pinpoint a person's location? I don't doubt he could track Zero from his current location, but figuring out where he was from afar, and matching it up with the map? Hmmm… I'll overlook this.
- Brain is still spiffy, and his attacks are distinctly DBZ-esque (SPECIAL BEAM CANOOOOON!)
- Gerard Gerard's Natsu's name and Gerards some Gerard.
- Nice choreography on the fight. Really enjoyed that.
- Gerard shows up at the end, and apparently remembers something, sparked by hearing Natsu's name. He shoots Natsu down, but don't get your hopes up just yet.
- If Gerard is bitter about losing to Natsu, it's either Gerard vs. Natsu rematch, or Zero and Gerard vs. Natsu. Natsu was already outmatched against Zero. Gerard would be over kill.
- I'll LOL like a little girl if Gerard toasts Zero, and becomes the final boss. Not only would it be a reused final enemy; It's Gerard, It's an arc where Gerard hasn't done anything antagonistic to denote being the final climactic villain, and that would make three "Final Boss" characters to job, just so Gerard could take over.
- More likely, Gerard is just rendering Natsu unable to interfere, as he feels guilty and needs to redeem himself by defeating Zero.
- Though in this case, he'd be screwing over the entire, "Stop Nirvana" plan by abandoning his post, and injuring Natsu enough so that he's unable to go destroy number six in his place. Lame plan, Gerard.
- If Gerard is bitter about losing to Natsu, it's either Gerard vs. Natsu rematch, or Zero and Gerard vs. Natsu. Natsu was already outmatched against Zero. Gerard would be over kill.
- In spite of it all, when Gerard showed up at the end, firing that shot, I said, "Oh shit. That guy is cool."
Pretty good chapter, let's see where this goes.
- Everlue arc finishes up in the first half, and all is well. Still felt rushed.
-
I would love to see Gerald and Zero vs. Natsu. It's one sided, Natsu would stand little chance against either of them alone, and no one (hopefully) is coming to back him up. Yay for impossible situations.
-
Gerard is good. BELIEVE IT.
-
This chapter was rather neat. The choreography as cosair king said was really good in this chapter. Gerard showing up to take out natsu makes me believe that either he's gonna try to take out zero himself or he's allied with zero. Now natsu could have enough power to take on both zero and gerard. How? you may ask well let's see nirvana is powered by lachryma (was that it?) and if i'm not correct that was the same stuff he ate last time in order to defeat gerard. So we may get SSJ2 natsu where we see him pull off a goku on both gerard and zero since mashima is such a dragonball fan..I wouldn't be surprised.
Once again mashima's ramblings are awesome. Poor bastard can't play his videogames lol
the extra chapter was cute.
EDIT: just watched episode 4 it was rather neat. The animation is definitely getting better and better my only peeve is that whenever natsu does an attack there not showing it. It's like: Attack than explosion. I want to see a fist to the face oh and that dear kaby part got me teary eyed funny though in the manga I got a more : OK that's sad but I'm not tearing up here.
-
Lol Gerard.
Corsair King was right about one thing, the art was fantastic.
-
Finally a "special" chapter with some Kana character development.
