Good Luck!

Having dutifully searched for threads concerning this anime, I only found old ones, so I hope that starting a new thread is acceptable.

Being new here, I hope that it is okay to post threads of this type.

I am asking for people's opinions of an anime series, in this case, Saber Marionette J, Saber Marionette Again, and Saber Marionette J-X. Not a specific rip, just how you like the plot, characters, and the anime in general. Not so focused on the technical aspects, as those are covered in the reviews on this site, but if you want to say something technical, that is welcome, too.

I would prefer not to know plot spoilers. What I'm interested in are more broad sketches, such as, is the first series the only one worth watching? Is the OVA that bad? Can one watch J and feel satisfied, or does one have to watch J-X? What are your favorite and least favorite aspects of the series? What are your favorite and least favorite characters? Do you feel that J-X has a satisfactory ending?

I have these on order, so before they arrive, (in fact, I still have time to cancel my order if enough people here say, AVOID!) I'd love to know what anyone thinks of this series.

Thanks in advance. :-)

First I want to say sorry for not posting this on wensday I just got back from vacation last night. I picked up this title on recommondation from some of you and haven't been dissapointed by the title. OK OK to this weeks task. This series is weird and insane in some ways everything from the goblins to the poor guy the kids keep calling Mr, to the funny fact both the kids talk in a southern acent in the dub. This is a very off the wall well made series. Surprisingly my favorite episode was #6 Fashback, in which Sashi's grandfather is telling the story of how the shopping complex was built and why the lynch pins were placed the way they were. I know this was a more serious episode then the rest of the series for the most part but as out of place it seem it really brings alot of the series into focus better. episode 6 really fleshed out the story for me made me like the series more. So what was you guys fav episode or opinion on this one?

Received more MAC titles in today! Check out the store section to see the new arrivals.

Also anyone interested in trading dvds, games, manga etc etc, check out the trade forum, and my trade thread ^_^

I was thinking of buying a laptop when I move to D.C. and i was wondering which one of these performs better for the buck and etc. Can anyone provide any insight or help ?

Hi, everyone, I am new here. :-)

I saw this site's review for FX's 9-disc boxed set for Tenchi Muyo:

http://www.import-anime.com/index.php?pa...em_id=2937

However, it doesn't mention Chinese subtitles. I recently purchased supposedly this same 9-disc FX version off eBay that has Chinese subtitles. Is this a real FX set?

Were Chinese subtitles recently added to increase FX's marketing base?

Second, on my Tenchi Universe, Episode 10, "No Need For An Arch Rival," there are no subtitles at the beginning of the episode until the title is shown. The scene is a bar room. I can listen in either English or Japanese, but there are no subtitles. After the title of the episode is shown, subtitles appear. Is this a defective disk, or are all of the FX sets like this? Does anyone else have this problem?

Thanks for any input anyone may have into this disk set.

WOW finally zeta is coming out and im almost done my Gundam Collection!!!
now that F-91 is coming out also this makes it even better news, but i was wondering after im done watching zeta Bandai will take YEARS to release ZZ and ive come to the conclusion if its not that great of a series why not Just Buy a Hk set of ZZ???
well most the ZZ sets are translated by monkeys and i would rather eat thorns than watch a terribly translated anime! but now ive noticed that MI has re Done the Gundam ZZ set with new subs and the 1 review on this site says its really good but ive only read 1 review and i cant go offa just 1!!! thus leaves me with this question those who have viewed the ReDone set how good are the translations??? are they up to par like the X or V gundam set's by MI???? if anyone has information on the set please let me know it would be of great assistance thanks alot!!!!

does anyone know if the PS2 version has the songs from the DDR Extreme arcade? specifically Captain Jack and the Betoven (SP?) songs

It wont let me log in to view the store.... it keeps saying "Your account has not been verified yet. Please verify your accout by clicking on the link in the email that was sent to the account you registered with." I've had not problems in the 6-8 months or so that I've been coming here until now. I'm not sure if I ever did get a confirmation email and there's not button to re-send it. What should I do?
