♠ This is what happens when you buy cheap imported anime from Melbourne - Disc 3 decides it just won't play on the DVD player. I was quite upset. Especially as it was Disc 3 of Darker Than Black which, despite the fact it keeps me in a perpetual state of confusion, is completely awesome. Seirously. Watch it. WATCH IT. Cool characters, lots of great ( Read more... )

I still don't think I've read exactly everything of ASN. Mostly skimmed vol9 I think~~ I really should though seeing as how much I ended up adoring it.

SenBasa XDD.. Haha. You're right, it totally doesn't make sense, but makes up for that in hot guys who run around fighting with swords.

Huh, that's the second rec I've heard for Bus Gamer in the last week. It's really that good?

It's pretty damn good. I mean, I love Saiyuki, so I'm obviously a Minekura fan as is, but it's a very good series...well, it's not really a series yet. It's a good mix of action and more psychological drama, and I like the basic concept ('gamers' playing real life games for the entertainment of the wealthy which have surprisingly tangible consequences).

The characters are interesting, and the fight scenes are in my opinion very well drawn. It also has some hilarious moments. So yes, it's great. Not my favourite series ever, but still certainly worth a read. And a reread.

SenBasa...I have given up on the plot. I don't care. As long as the boys with swords are there, I will keep reading. :p

ASN = ♥ I will be eternally grateful to you for reccing it to me aaaaaages ago. I love Sou. *pets him*

Oooooh *likes psychological drama to an unhealthy level*

You wouldn't happen to know where I could download it would you? Like... a complete volume download place?

It's why I'm a big fan of reccing manga around, you find the best stuff that way.

Tehe, so do I. It's not so much psychological drama oriented, as much as there are a lot of undertones/implications about characters, and the relationship between the three main characters is very interesting. Strong, interesting characters get me every time.

Eeeeeh, I really don't know, sorry. I'll have a hunt tomorrow if I get a chance. I bought it in volume form, you see, so I haven't really had cause to find it online, and from past experience Minekura-sensei's works can be a bit hard to find (lord knows why).

Got any recs for me at the moment? I feel like something...different. Possibly with generous dollops of actions. Or something random and quirky like ASN.

All three episodes are available here subbed on aarinfantasy:

http://aarinfantasy.com/forum/f212/t61387-bus-gamer.html

You have to join Aarinfantasy, but it's freeeeeee and you can find just about anything here if you can figure out how their forum works. (Considering it just took me ten minutes to find them....no seriously, it's not that bad.)

You can find anything like I say, and all their official downloads of Yaoi/general anime/manga are virus free. You do need to check for their official sticky post for those though - I lost my bookmark for it. There's some fucking hot stuff on there, let me tell you.

Sensitive Pornagraph. Watch it. Pretty much X-rated Yaoi. Woot!
