Well there goes worrying about if I can get Eureka Seven 2nd and Gundam OO 2nd collection between now and the end of the year.

well just finished shadow star narataru and must say i am dissappointed. the show shows a ALOT of promise but fails to deliver. though i think the fact the manga could of given this show a full 26 episodes as opposed to the 13 is the primary reason for the failure. i wonder why it got canned? can people only handle reading the messed up crap of episode 12 and 13 but viewing it is too tough even in japan???

so i cant speak for the manga....but the anime really isnt all that dark. it flirts with the idea and the last two episodes are certainly on the crazy scale but then it just ends. somewhat dissappointing really. wish this could of gotten a full 26 episodes as it finally starts getting quite interesting by disc 4 and well then the show drops everything creates a new story arc and goes in that direction.

its a shame i really wanted to love it as it has a good set up. the first 6 episodes are a great set up to what could be amazing evil psychotic fun tv to watch. but it never truly delivers.

dont get me wrong im not mad i watched or it got recommended i enjoyed what was there. just wished this could of gotten a full 26 episodes and not just 13 i think then i might i loved it.

That reminds me of how the Gantz anime ended or didn't, it sucks when a show that could have been really good doesn't get an ending for the anime. A few others that come to mind will propably not get an ending are Air Gear, Princess Jellyfish, and claymore.

I hope Air Gear gets another season. But like Fruits Basket, that will probably never happen. :x

Anyone else pissed that code geass season 1 came in a regular sized dvd case and season 2 came is a double sized anime legends box.

What if the original plan was to save space? And then they just forgot.

didnt the claymore anime have an ending? i seem to recall it having a fairly good ending(no idea compared to the manga never read it)

and yea i could deal with more fruits basket and yes im sure man points just got lost by saying that lol

but all those shows get actual endings of some sort....shadow star just ends with nothing resolved at all and quite frankly it ends with 100 more questions than you had at the beginning of episode 13. so to say shadow star gets an anime ending is laughable lol. it just ends dead smack at the end of quite a major plot event that gets resolved but leaves about 100 more questions to it.

its quite obvious a launching pad story line to get somewhere else....the real crime is also the english manga stopped being released at this point to so it ends there....so your only option learn japanese or look up those evil illegal fan manga translations lol. so piracy + 1 in this case eh???

This. I completely agree. I actually prefer the double sized boxes for some odd reason. I know they take up more room but it makes it feel like I have something more substantial. My Cowboy Bebop Remix came in the regular sized case so I took it back to the Best Buy store and swapped it for the double size one.

No the Claymore anime had a terrible ending. The manga is better (and it's still going) but even that's going downhill fast. Too many irrelevant characters popping up too fast and disappearing even faster. It's seriously hard to keep track of billions of anime women who are almost exactly the same looking except maybe a slight difference in hair style. Not to mention they only release one chapter a month.

A terrible ending is different than no ending. Claymore did have an ending, even if it may not have satisfied people. Deadman Wonderland, for example, didn't have an ending, since the manga is still ongoing.

You mention Princess Jellyfish. The Funimation guys mentioned at a con that they were hoping to spark some popularity to get more produced, but in this market I doubt something like that would happen.

Gundam 00 Season 2 collection now seems to be gone everywhere

Oh wow. Just checked the price and it made me

yea this. claymore had an ending shadow star just flat out does not have an ending except some crap that is pieced together in the last minute quite literally the last minute they cheese something of an ending together which is quite frankly no ending because again you get left with 100 new questions. and the only way to get the ending is to find a fan translation of the manga because it stopped being published after volume 7(or episode 13 of the anime).

i just watched alien nine....that too is another case of no ending except some cheese pieced together during the ending credits lol. and thanks to this many questions just go flat out unanswered and as the show ends it even raises more questions during that last little bit too so its very clear its not an ending.

i really wish people that animate mangas would commit to finishing the animation and not in the case of shadow star and alien nine stop half way through....alien nine is more offensive as it is 4 freakin mangas and that is it and stops half way through lol. yes i know its easier said than done and many things factor into a cancelled show but it still sucks.

as for another disturbing anime i just watched witch of the dark master....its quite good and manages to warp my brain in the whole 40 minutes of the movie which is impressive.

This is what I dont get. If orders are being taken till November 15th, how come Gundam 00 Season 2 is hard to find?

Hard to find? More like Completely gone!

Well I suppose thiers always hope that the animation studios might pick them up when the mangas end. I have hope that someday Princess Jellyfish will have the ending it rightfully deserves as well. Seeing as inuyasha got its ending after some years of being in limbo, the thought doesnt seem impossible.

well i dont know how popular princess jellyfish is(never heard of it) but inuyasha is quite popular. its easily in the top 5 most popular animes outside of japan....well ok in the 2-5 range cause well nothing is ever likely to dethrone the all mighty dbz

seems odd that season 2 dried up faster than season 1 of gundam 00 might cancel my gundam 00 season 1 order if i cant get season 2 hmmm
