Anime Video Downloads – Free or Paid?

On October 8, 2009, in manga downloads, by admin

Anime video downloads for Japanese cartoons like naruto, Evangelion, Sailor Moon, Doraemon are much sought after by manga and cartoon fans. While these are normally screened in Japan over TV, the teens and even young adults around the world are getting fascinated with these anime series. Since they are not able to watch them via TV broadcasts, they are buying up anime VCDs and DVDs. With anime video downloads made available nowadays either for free or for a fee, here is a quick discussion on both free and paid options.

Free Services to Download Anime Videos

Fans have been downloading free videos for a while now at P2P networks. It is not totally problem free of course. Users have complained about the videos being incomplete with scenes cut and viruses, spyware and adware are often downloaded together with the video files. The performance of their PCs goes down as a result.

On top of P2P networks, you can also find anime videos at fan sites. They are not exactly free as we would soon realize. Similar to peer-to-peer, your videos may have missing or skipped episodes. Tell me which fan likes to watch an incomplete cartoon series where all the major scenes like showdowns are taken away. Fansub sites are also prone to the same problems at P2P when downloading anime videos.

Anime Video Downloads Membership Services

Registered members can now download not only anime videos but movies also at membership services. We are talking about dozens of DVD quality videos you can have access to. Transfer them to a DVD or CD and you can play it on both your PC and TV. Typically, such services do not cost more than $39.99 and it is a one off deal to download unlimited anime movies and videos. There are no bandwidth restrictions at all.

Like what we mentioned earlier, you can download anime videos and movies in full complete series and seasons. Even movies adapted from manga and anime like Death Note are available to members. No wonder it has gotten cartoon enthusiasts all over the world getting excited.

You can start to watch Death Note, or catch Bleach in a moment’s time when you download the full length DVD quality anime video downloads at my video blog.

Manga??????

On October 7, 2009, in manga, by admin

Which manga is the best?
inuyasha
Death Note
FullMetal Achlemist
Bleach
Answer, please!

The only manga out of those I’ve actually read a bit of is Death Note (I only bought the first 3 volumes), I’ve seen the anime and it rockz, but I bet the manga is even better =)
The plot is really unique and the characters are really cool, it’s a manga you just have to read till the end, oh and the manga, anime and live-action films all have alternative endings >.<

I’m talking about the scenes where it slips into a black and white style that looks like drawn pages of a manga comic book. Are they actual pages from a published manga, or just invented for the series? Thanks!

According to my sources flcl Manga came after the anime series. The manga and chibi scenes in the series were done as a form of satire; an idiom prevalent through out this great series.

I have not personally seen the manga but most fans agree they do not do the series Justice

Cheers :-)

Japanese animation(manga)?

On July 14, 2009, in japanese animation, by admin

Is there any website to see japanese animation(manga)in English?Thanks.

Umm…Actually Japanese animation isn’t manga, it’s anime….Manga is comic books….So, are you looking for manga or anime?

Well, if it’s anime, I just use youtube. I’m too lazy to find anything else..But I do sometimes use keiichianimeforever.com, it’s cool too.

Also does Lucy return at the end of the anime? I was wondering because the anime makes it seem so with the outline of her body standing at the door?

The anime ended before the manga did. It is Lucy at the door when the anime ends but the manga keeps going because in the next five years more and more people like Lucy will be born. The manga continues the story from that point for a little furthur.

Anime Or Manga?

On June 14, 2009, in anime, by admin

Please don’t let yourself be irritated from the quotation marks. It’s the german version. :P Too lazy to search and change them.

Okay, here’s my problem:

Whenever I find an anime I’m interested in to watch, I end up not watching them most of the time. This has one particular reason: Whether the respective anime only is a manga adaption or not. Because if that is the case, I can never decide what I should do. Should I read the manga? Or should I watch the anime?
I’d rather go with the anime. Just because it looks better, and I like japanese. :P
But knowing that an original manga exists previous to the anime, I always get the feeling I’m missing something out if I were to watch the anime instead of the manga. That is, since in most cases, the anime misses lots of things or changes the plot completely. I cannot watch an anime knowing that the plot is different. Unfortunately even, the plot goes in a worse direction and many people say that the manga is to be preferred. (Or maybe the plot is better sometimes?)
This makes me go with the manga then. However, I either already know a lot of the plot and just jumping into the un-animated version of the series seems utterly wrong to me.
Or, and that’s the the biggest problem, the style of the original manga is so different from the anime that I cannot adjust to the new one.
Which makes me to stop the manga and anime completely.
I’m really demanding on that point sadly. If the manga looks „bad“, no way I’ll read it. This made me almost stop reading Bitter Virgin. If I had done that, I could never forgive me I guess.
If the manga looks good though, I stick with it most of the time, since I know that many animes have fillers or, as I mentioned hundreds of times already, a different story. That’s to be applied for series like naruto or One Piece in my case.

„Great Teacher Onizuka“ emphasized my problem. It’s already some time ago that I watched it. I started watching the anime, and really enjoyed it the first time. Then however, I felt that the whole series was getting a little boring. Incidentally, I read somewhere that GTO originally was a manga and that the anime’s plot not only turns out to be different from the manga but that it is also worse if you believe the common opinion. Now that made me stop watching the anime. But the manga wasn’t after my liking at all. It kinda misses the charm of the anime. >_<
Going back watching the anime isn’t anymore, since I’ve heard that it should be turning out rather badly in comparison to its predecessor.

Now you may say: „I don’t get it, just read the manga as a whole and then watch the anime as a whole, dimwit!“
But sorry, I can’t do that. I simply can’t. After having read the manga, or watched the anime I know the whole plot already. It’s just no fun to read something which’s outcome you already have seen previously. :(
Aside from that, I don’t have the time to do everything twice. I cannot start reading the anime, seeing that I don’t really like it, and then take a look at the anime, no time for that, no sir.

Take Fullmetal Alchemist as a recent example: Should I watch it? Should I read it? I already informed myself on wikipedia and if I’m right, the anime also turns out to be different from its original story. Now should I go with the manga, or still watch the anime? As I said, I’m sure I would stick with the anime from its „appearance“, as I already looked a bit into the manga but if the plot is different …

I hope after reading this outlining my situation, you get an idea of the problem. It is really hard for me to always decide with what I should be going, really.
It might have been a little complicated read, it’s hard to gather the thoughts but the basic issue I have is this: Do I watch or read a series I’m interested in?

So what do you do? How do you decide? You just watch the anime and don’t care about the manga for a single second? (This being an anime forum mainly, I guess that’s the way it is for most of you)
Or vice versa? Or you read and watch both? Or you do a little research to find out which one’s better? The problem there is though, that’s its really hard to find that out without getting spoilered. That’s why I don’t actually like to inform myself about the series I plan on watching, to begin with.

And what’s your opinion about it? Do you generally prefer the anime version or the manga version of a series you like?

Help me find a new anime to watch

On May 26, 2009, in anime, by admin

I like a lot of different kinds of anime, but I’m really a fan of more serious stuff. It doesn’t have to be super serious and don’t cross it out just because it has some silly moments.

Stuff I liked manga and anime wise was: Monster, Vagabond, Gantz, Oldboy, Initial D, Neon Genesis Evangelion, HunterXHunter, Liar Game, Veritas, Bakuman, Slam Dunk, Ichigo 100%, and a bunch of others. This was just to give you the idea of what I like.

I’m really looking for something more on the seinen side, but if it’s a pretty good shounen, I’ll check that out, too.

The most recent anime I’ve watched is Eden of the East, and it seems pretty good so far.

11. If you know the answer to number 4 or know the show who does the main character like and what does the main character do in the last episode.

12.What happend to Kakashi's left eye and how did he get the sharingan

Open Answer

how much do u like/hate yaoi?

1. Inuyasha The Movie – Affections Touching Across Time, Inuyasha The Movie 2 – The Castle Beyond the Looking Glass, Inuyasha The Movie 3 – Swords of an Honorable Ruler Inuyasha The Movie 4 – Fire on the Mystic Island.

2. Mokona, he's white. Or did you mean his kudan? His kudan is a special level kudan and is like a wolf with fire, don't think it's got a name though.

3. Eclipse is Raenef's instructor and a powerful demon (with a bit of a temper ^^) There are seven volumes.

4. A manga and an OVA anime.

5. They're an alien species who looks like humans. Takeya Ikuhara, Ren, Neneko Izumi, Mitsuka Yoshimine, Miu.

6. Fortunately not ^^!

7. Naruto.

8. Loveless is Ritsuka Aoyagi. Beloved is Seimei Aoyagi, Ritsuka's dead brother, and Soubi Agatsuma, Seimei's fighter.

Loveless fighter is Soubi, but he shouldn't be because the fighter is supposed to have the same "real name" (Soubi should have the name Loveless in order to be Ritsukas fighter) But somehow that kinda works anyways.

Loveless is a manga and anime series (yaoi)

9. She is a persocom (robot). She appeared in Chobits and slightly in Tsubasa.

10. She's an android and 19 years old.

11. He likes sweet things (and hates sour or spicy food). In the last episode he calls on Canti-sama to defeat a monster, and demand that Mamimi recognize it was he who saved them all those times in the Canti-robot – not his brother.

12. Kakashi tries to save his teammate Obito but gets his left eye slashed in the process. Obito use his sharingan and kill the attacker. Then later Obito throws Kakashi out of the way of a falling rock, and his entire right side is crushed. Knowing his life is over, he tells Rin to remove his eye and offers Kakashi his sharingan eye.

Oh I'm a huge yaoi fan, totally addicted ^^! I'm also crazy about slashfics, especially Harry/Draco and K/Hiro (from Gravitation ofcourse ^^)

thanx for the quiz, it was fun :P !
