Shounen (boys ages 6-14) and Seinen (men aged 18-30+) aren't classifications of genre, they are specific demographics for which a product can be aimed at. Shounen is only considered a genre because of the clichés associated with it. Sorry, you know what I meant. Yes, I know what you meant and I would agree with you about Cowboy Bebop. Not so much on Berserk, on account of the handicap of not having read it. Not to say I won't read it in future, as I might.

PS: I forgot to add that not only was I not calling Berserk shounen (um, it's not even close), but also that it and, for instance, the Cowboy Bebop anime defy any proper genre classification -- well, apart from "masterpiece". Shounen (boys ages 6-14) and Seinen (men aged 18-30+) aren't classifications of genre, they are specific demographics for which a product can be aimed at. Shounen is only considered a genre because of the clichés associated with it.

^Speaking of that why would Death Note be in Shonen Jump instead of its big brother, Ultra Jump? Death Note is still aimed at a shounen audience, in spite of its themes.

The point is, something like 10 of the top 20 manga/anime series ever are probably shounen series (granted, I am too lazy to make such a list. Apart from Berserk is still #1), which is just a ridiculous ratio. Like if half of the greatest books ever were fantasy (they aren't) or something. Berserk ISN'T shounen, it's seinen.

I like D.Gray-man better than Bleach.

Well, all the Transformers in Beast Wars do have distinctly Canadian voices. They must be Canadian, so it's true that Canada started the Beast Wars.

So the HDD on my good computer failed a few days ago. We had only just confirmed it today because the thought of it actually being the motherboard at fault crossed our minds, but now it's all settled, we're getting a new one tomorrow.
I didn't bring this up with an MTS topic because I already had 2 perfectly good sources on these stuff at home, and they were willing to help. So I didn't feel the need to trouble any of you guys.

sonic.sega.jp/chara/blaze/index.htmlThey put a Blaze character page on Sonic Channel. I did a little translating, and it completely contradicts the retcons made in StH2k6. So either StH2k6 and Rivals are not canon, or there are 2 Blazes.

Ok, so here we have the VIDEOGAMES being ahead of the anime? That's kinda CREEPY. The fillers have been confirmed to end in Spring 2007 (anywhere between February and May) by Weekly Shonen Jump and Kishi himself. This game also is expected for a release around Spring 2007.

www.jeux-france.com/images0_4_18204.htmlThank you for putting timeskip Naruto characters in this new "Naruto: Narultimate Accel". And thank you for keeping timeskip Sakura's badass. I just hope the same happens for Naruto GNT Ex on the Wii.

Bandai isn't that much of a great developer either. I mean, they CAN at times be able to make a good and enjoyable game, but for every one of those there's about 500 more crappy games from them.

Not really. I'm just pissed off because mom's obsessively rubbing in the fact that I'm "never going to get a stupid fucking wii" in my face just for the sake of making me feel bad. If it bothers you that much, why won't you just prove her wrong and save up to get a Wii.

I'm glad to see a picture from a Japanese production based on an Australian piece of fiction.

People, people. You've forgotten about Yakitty Yak. UGH. It really embarasses me that Yakitty Yak was developed and produced in Australia. But then again, Nick Australia hasn't even aired episodes of Avatar past 13 and has recently stopped airing it all together. I've only been getting by downloading the episodes. So there's nothing to be proud of with that huge embarassment.

Sabator is a very bad man. I'd call him a tool, but that's a personal insult and he's not here to come back at me for it, thus voiding the purpose of such an insult: to get a reaction out of him.
