OK. Being submitted to Gatchaman gallery now. Feel free to close this thread.

Yeah, realized that right after I clicked submit. Sorry I didn't know how to undo it. I've uploaded the correct one now.

Edit: And the group shot that I was fined for was from a week ago not the recent one. (Unless I uploaded the wrong one that time too!)

It was a group shot and when I first submitted it I was fined. I will resubmit but can I get my subtracted papers back?

Played the first game, Jump Super Stars. Great little game so far. I play it every now and then. I'm trying to work my way through story mode at the moment. So much Japanese text though. For the most part I find the language barrier OK but for the koma/card system it's just too complicated. Definitely will need to read through a guide at gamefaqs.com for setting up Komas some day.

Haven't gotten round to playing multiplayer or the sequel yet. Can't wait to try them out. Have to get my friends to play the game first and understand how it works so that we can play fairly.

I know what you mean about Nintendo always bringing out new versions of their portable systems over the years but seriously don't bother waiting for a new version to come out. I don't see it happening anytime soon and it may never happen especially with seeing as the last time they tried doing that with the Game Boy Micro it wasn't successful.

Just get one now or else you could be waiting a long time for a new model to be released.

I don't really agree with this. I mean with the releases of the DS Lite and the Wii videogames in general have evolved further in the past couple of years than in the last decade. Kudos to Nintendo for trying something new to try and entice gamers and non-gamers alike. I really wasn't getting much satisfaction from playing videogames with the past genration of consoles. It just felt like the same old thing with prettier graphics. I never had that feeling of freshness that came when I first played games like Mario 64. With this new way of playing I'm finally starting to get back into gaming. I even see families playing on Wii's together. Sometimes I think Nintendo are geniouses.

Well expect more because they've announced that there will be a 4,5 and 6. Another trilogy basically but no word yet whether or not Raimi, Maguire and Dunst will be returning.

I think I'll add my opinion of the film to this thread. The film was alright but not great. I still got some enjoyment out of it but in no way did it come close to Spider-Man 2's greatness and although the action sequences were better than 1's, the film failed in more ways.

Slight spoilers . . . . . . . .

Too many storylines to juggle. Venom was really underdeveloped and why the hell did he sound like Eddie Brock while in Venom form? That dance number in the jazz bar should have been kept as an extra or something for the DVD because it was super-cheesy. When he was walking down the street pointing his fingers at all the women was like something out of Grease. And Harry and MJ doing the twist while he was cooking?!? What were they thinking?

Overall though, I still found some enjoyment out of the movie but after the first two Spider-Man movies, especially Spider-Man 2, I guess my expectations were just too high.

I HATE bad anime endings. I think everyone does. The amount of animes that end prematurely because the manga is still ongoing.

I saw Berserk recently and the ending, quite frankly, sucked balls! It feels like they chose the worst possible place to end it that they could. Such a great show as well. Some shows end well even though the manga is still ongoing such as Hajime no Ippo and Slam Dunk. But most animes seem to end badly overall.

Guilty Gear all the way. For me it rejuvenated the 2D fighter. I was starting to find them too repetitive. You can only play SF so many times!

I'll be honest. I haven't even seen Gundam Seed yet.

I hope and pray it's Naruto and Hinata that end up together. She's so sweet and I never liked Sakura anyway. Knowing the way a lot of these animes work though none of these pairings may end up happening.

I've been playing them since the first games on the NES. It's what got me into RPGs. The Ocarina of Time for N64 is still IMHO the best game ever made.

I'll be damned if I know why people always choose Playstation as so far in the console wars they've had the inferior machine power-wise (PS was more powerful than Saturn but less than N64 and PS2 was less powerful than both Xbox and Gamecube.)

If I had to guess I'd say in Japan, one of the main turning-points would have to be when Square brought out Final Fantasy on the original Playstation which up until that point had always appeared on Nintendo consoles. Dragon Quest also appeared on the PS and those are the two best selling RPG franchises in Japan.

In the West I have no idea how it got so popular. The quality of Sony's consoles is questionable as well as they regularly breakdown or have problems.

I'm surprised that people could even consider America could make better anime than Japan. The only Americanime I like is Avatar: The Last Airbender. It's the only americanime which I feel has been successful as it belnds the style of Japanese animation with American story-telling with lots of eastern influences and themes. Perhaps this is what makes it feel off in some way from anime. It would would be good if it had more violence in it as well.

It was a great show. I saw it a while after seeing Samurai 7 and although Samurai 7 did get a bit boring after a while, Samurai Champloo was entertaining all the way through. It reminded me a lot of Cowboy Bebop which is understandable considering who worked on both series.

That's good to hear. I had my doubts about this movie turning out well. It sounds like this movie actually has a decent budget as well. I need to get through the anime first though before I get started on this.

I heard the musical was pretty good as well.

I thought the first Naruto movie looked good in trailers but I was really disappointed when I finally saw it. It was better than the crappy Jump Festas though! Man those things sucked so badly. I can't believe my friend actually enjoyed them! I think the problem was it just felt like an extended episode like it was drawn out. It just rehashed things we had already seen and since when has Kakashi been able to knock people out by looking at them with his Sharingan eye?

The second movie was better but I still thought that it felt like average filler. We didn't see enough of Gaara and it was just another generic plot. On the plus side I was glad they used some original music in this movie, unlike the last one which just seemed to take music tracks straight out of the TV show. I haven't read up or seen anything on the third movie but after the last two entries I'm not really holding my breath, expecting anything good. But you never know.

I hope the Bleach movie doesn't turn out disappointing like the Naruto movies. Just have to wait and see.

I really loved it when I saw it for the first time. Really crappy and confusing ending though. These days I think there's a lot of better animes aout there though. I haven't seen any of the movies yet.

I haven't played pokemon since pokemon yellow. I'll get back to it someday though.

The art style puts me off so I've never given it a chance.

I only watch the Kaizoku-Fansubs version. Probably my favorite fansub group. Truly a labor of love for them.

Dude , i love Guilty Gear X .... i *******also love playing any 2D fighting game

But i have to say that i would kick all of your asses with JAM !

Maybe but didn't that game do really badly sales-wise and in arcades? I tried it out and it played prett crappy too. Saying that I didn't really give it that much play-time but I just didn't enjoy it.

Seen it. Possibly the best anime ever.

A fantastic story with well developed characters, great humor and action. I honestly don't think it's possible to big this series up too much. I'm sure this series will appeal more to boys than girls however. Another thing is that the art style may put some people off but stick with it and you'll be sucked in by the story.

I don't think the animation is very good generally but it steps up a notch during the fight sequences. Check out the manga as well for the continuing story. There's lots more that never made it into anime form.
