"BS" as in Bleach Society? then yes.. 
I switched over to them because of their translation- they use the actual words ( i think ) at least it sounds more..jap  :roll: 
But i hate their video it gets suck sometimes- except for this eps- perfect-- and the best eps yet......best.. i have to say.

I havn't gotten into Bleach - it just seems like another Shounen Jump clichÃ© to me.  Don't get me wrong, I love most of SJ's clichÃ©'s, but I think 1 at a time is enough :lol:.  Then again, I havn't watched Naruto since the filler's began, but that's only since I'm on limited bandwidth at home so I can't dl as much as I can on campus.
So I'm occupying myself with Elfen Lied and Last Exile right now (only just started both).
Recenlty finished Hagaren...the 27th approaches quickly!

And Amailer, if you havn't seen Kenshin (TV), do your self a favour and see at least the first 2 seasons.  You'll really like it, what with the slashing swords, and surmounting dialogue (damn Kenshin used to waffle on, and on, and on...)

It get really gay at times, but the cool parts are cool and make it all worth it. I've heard so many people talk about Ep 39, but stupid Lunar is taking their sweet time to release this ep because of the new ending theme.  :x ...B4stards. I'm in no position to watch the RAW, it would ruin it for me, but alas, Lunar is my favourite translators, so I'll stick with them.

Kenshin is old. I watched that at around the same time I was watching DragonBall GT. :P If you want an awsome series get "Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex" and "2nd GiG". Hellsing is good too. Kite is crazy. :shock:

Season1/2 used to be there. Wonder what happened to them. S3/4 is there though. And with plenty of seeders.
Update: Bah, I'm too impatient. I hope "Bleach Society" doesn't suck. :( I hate betraying Lunar, but they're really taking too long. Ep 40 is two days away and 39 isn't even done yet.  :roll:

Sorry Amailer.  Wrong Kenshin.  Those are the highly acclaimed, unsurpassed, masterful Kenshin OVA's.  Rurouni Kenshin:  Tsuioku Hen.

All other posts in this thread were in reference to Rurouni Kenshin, TV series - the one with 95 eps.  On Animenfo, it usually ranks around 16-18.

I don't follow the anime but I follow the manga, I think it progresses further? what happened in episode 39? Let me guess, the Ichigo vs Captain of the 13th team?

Now go watch Samurai Champloo!!!!!!!!

Or actually, watch Yakitate Japan, it's a manga/anime that's about the world of bread baking. (Yes, I said bread baking. No, it does not suck)

yes it is stupid... there's nothing twisted about such an ending... you cannot kill the main character in a series... it's stupid.. same goes with naruto... trying to put Naruto into a dangerous situation ruins the whole episode cuz the suspense is simply not the same... i mean we all know the anime does not end so early.

but now look at FMA... that was ingeniously done.. the author was not stupid to try and suggestl Al or Ed dead, anytime too early. instead he killed one of the most loved supporting characters. That was brilliant! (in comparison anyways) And very much successful!


PS: i believe ichigo will turn into that semi-hollow again.. hmm

I want to see a series advertise it's x-episodes long, and build it as such, but during the middle of the arc, the main character dies and the mission is a failure. That would be such a plot twist, would it not? :lol:

Then there'd be a new main character, or you'd realize that that wasn't even the main character, and the rest of the series would continue with that character.
Methinks you might want to look into Basilisk...from what I've heard, people who look like main characters drop left, right, and centre!
Naturally, such a series would be less character driven as plot driven.  Not usually the norm in animÃ©.

Dammit rizzix!  Maes!!![sob]

Thats like Stargate SG-1... Althougth the main character (not really the MAIN character, but one of the main characters) is now kicked out in Season 9 and a new character is come on who the whole season 9 is mainly focused on.. HOW BS.... -.-

Anyhow, I managed to dl the torrents (2 of them)
Rurouni Kenshin - 11-20 [B-A].torrent
Rurouni Kenshin - 91-95 [B-A].torrent

And I can't get the rest to get dled... but before I start these torrents... does anyone know if these subs from B-A are in english....? It happned to me 10x for other animes... I dled the anime with some french or german sub titles X!@#!@!@ so anoying.

If you do know- tell me where I can download good torrents so the anime dls quickly... hard to find this anime... it was made in what.. 1999?

Methinks those are the Baka-animÃ© encodes.  Generally pretty good, and yes in English.
If you're looking for the full series, as mentioned before, head on to Box Torrents.  Currently they've only got S3 and S4 up, since S1 and S2 are being re-added...

Mine are from a4e. They're alright, IMO, but dual audio so it's a bit bigger download (almost twice the size as regular subbed anime episodes). I picked it because it was there and had a decent amount of seeds.

It would make sense. Though they had clips showing Ed's auto-mail arm, and in scenes that would suggest more than just a flashback.

You mention "last summer's trailer"... is this a different trailer? I'd never heard of a FMA movie before.

Sorry, I get a little excited when I think about it.  Anyhow, it takes place right after the series ends.

As for Champloo, how many times have I told you to check out Box?  It's got the most seeders right now :D.  Anyhow, the DVDs are rolling out pretty nicely.
Funny thing, Champloo, it had no popularity at all in Japan - but when it comes to NA it rocks the boat.  Methinks that was purposeful.

Advent Children? I heard Squaresoft (or is it Square Enix?) is waiting until enough fan-boys and -girls stick an animated .gif of the Sephiroth vs Cloud scene in their sigs so that no matter what forum you go to any page you view will overload the intertron and cause a massive crash so that they'll have an excuse as to why it's taking so long.

EDIT: No, wait! What I meant to say was that on their way to publish it they got stuck in so many random encounters that they forgot what they were originally supposed to do, *zing*

FMA was awesome but I never gotten around to finish it (and my brother losing all the eps after 12 doesn't help either) 
Prince of Tennis is great but after 100 eps it just gets repetive (yet I can't stop watching it) 
Eyeshield 21 looks good so far, 
Bleach is amazing all the way, 
Naruto is getting boring currently, 
Rorouni Kenshin was good up to a certain point, 
Gokusen is funny as hell, 
Yakikate Japan is funny! (an anime about making bread XD)
Tsubasa Chronicles is touching,
Fruit basket is cute! 
Bible black is just hentai >.> .>
