I just recently was browsing the Shonen Sunday website (japanese) and I found a trailer to Kyokai no RINNE's anime!!! Subbed:[link] Original:[link]

That was extreamly fast for an anime annoucement! I'm not sure when it's coming out though, since there's like only 24 chapters out.




Finally the male protagonist's voice isn't of Kappei Yamaguchi!!!! (the male voice actor for InuYasha and Ranma!!! The voice actor of Rinne is Kōki Uchiyama which is the voice actor for Roxas from Kingdom Hearts.




And about the manga volumes that are going to come out soon, why is the first volume's cover different from the original Japan's volume cover?



Original covers 1 & 2: [link] (in the picture they're holding it) English:[link]
Hey, isn't it not the same? I seriously would prefer the english cover the same as Japan's cover....just my own preferences! Do you think that's official?? (please not be!)

Volumes 1 & 2 are releasing Oct. 16th, and the VIZ version is coming out Oct 20th (only the first volume)





InuYasha's new anime is really similar to the old one! But they're going really fast, since there's only 26 episodes.
I still have to watch Fairy Tail's first episode! (still downloading)
And also, Kobato's anime is just wonderful! I love the anime! The images are really pretty!
Still watching Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood! It's pretty dark!




After all these new releases of fall Anime, Naruto's still my favourite series.




Really busy with school! -_-;; No time!





Thanks for taking your time to read,

What was your first manga/anime you've EVER read/watched??? I would love to know your experiences!





Well, just thinking back, my first EVER anime/manga I was first into (and serious about) was InuYasha, believe it or not! [But hey, Sailor Moon doesn't count, right?? ]



I've just haven't payed attention to my first anime/manga series in ages! Since InuYasha already ended (manga)and plus there are sooooo many great new manga out there (that I love, and addicted to) But I'm pretty happy there's going to be a new anime coming out in Oct! (Can't wait to see all the action!)



As you all should pretty much know, Rumiko Takahashi-sensei lauched/started a new manga series a few months after InuYasha ended, Kyokai no Rinne. I just want to compare these two recent series Takahashi-sensei created. And if you know/read both of these series (up-to-date) that'll be great! I bet you'll understand!



First of all, when Kyokai no Rinne started, I was extreamly happy! The series is really hilarious and there's lots of great puns & etc.!! But just comparing Kyokai no Rinne to InuYasha, I couldn't really compare them, on which series is better, until now. (but it's still pretty difficult since Kyokai no Rinne only has 20 chapters so far and InuYasha's completed with 56 volumes)



Kyokai no Rinne is basically always in the modern era (well, sort of) and Sakura and Rinne try to help ghosts pass on.
There's been 2 times that Sakura was saved by Rinne, first when Sakura by accident almost went on the Wheel of Reincanation (which plays a big part of the series, the wheel, I mean) and the second time when Masato (the bat guy) attacks her (I doubt it was seriously, though, since I don't think that much that this series will turn into a serious series)

It's kinda obvious that Sakura will end up with Rinne. I mean, which heroine doesn't end up with the protagonist/hero in the Rumic World?



I'm not sure if this new series will be better than InuYasha! But for me, the series InuYasha will always be a classic! But I'm just finding some qualities in the series Kyokai no Rinne that's pretty similar to Ranma ½



I think I prefer the serious themed manga more, sometimes. (only sometimes)!!!! I really like action! But it's true that InuYasha has many qualities that Kyokai no Rinne doesn't have.


Talking about the protagonists of the two series, InuYasha & Rokudo Rinne. (Heh, well, this time I'm mostly talking about Rinne)



About Rokuko Rinne, I guess he's the type of person that looks/leans towards what's right and trys to help people in need. But judging by what I've read so far, I guess he's the type of person who gets jealous, and it's written all over his face, no matter how you see it. So I guess he doesn't like to reveal it personally to everyone, but other people around him can get the feeling that's he's awkward when he's in a jealous mood. That's a quality different from InuYasha! InuYasha, not only it's written all over his face, but he wants to discuss it like it's top priority! He's pretty edgy about it too. He's also extreamly DENSE he couldn't even tell that much the first time when he met with Kikyo (when Kagome saw) that Kagome was jealous/mad! Rinne is pretty sensitive too (read chapter 20! )!! But judging by Rinne, when Tsubasa asked Sakura out in front of the class, the next moment he argued with him. Also after class, he tried to avoid Sakura. (walking away in a hurry) He even denied Sakura, that wanted to help him with the ghost this time. When Sakura was walking home with Tsubasa, and agreed on going on a date with him, and said that she didn't have a "special" relationship with Rinne, Rinne literally fell off the roof! So as I said before, Rinne is really sensitive! That's a pretty different quality coming from a Rumiko Takahashi's charatcer designs!




I'm still not sure which series, but if I had to decide right at this moment, I would say InuYasha is pretty much better than Rinne. They're both really different, judging buy Rin-ne, it's a comedy-ish action, and InuYasha is obviously fantasy, action, romance, etc. I'm still not sure about which main character I prefer, but I guess it would be InuYasha, since we've seen more good qualities out of him. (more “hero-like”, courageous, strong & confident)




So if I asked you “Do you prefer Kyokai no Rinne (judging by what you've seen so far) or InuYasha??” What would you answer?


Thanks for taking for time for reading all this!

Wow！ I can't believe it！ A PS3 is going to get delivered to me today! I was dumbstruck when I heard the news！

I know most people wouldn't find this as exciting as me，but you'll get why I'm this happy after I tell you that my in whole life, I've never had/owned ANY game system!!! I've never even TOUCHED a PS3 before! @_@ (believe it or not!)

I don't know anything about PS3, so I'm just writing a journal to ask about what games I should play, details about PS3, etc.


-----------------------------



I know Square Enix's games are on PS3, I'm pretty happy for that. I've always wanted to play some RPG games, like Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts. I wasn't interested in games much in the past, probably because my parents never wanted spend money for this....-_-;; And that I wasn't much of a "gamer" when I was young. My family was pretty against games... with small screens


After all my classmates had Xbox360 s, Nintendo DS s, Nintendo Wii s etc. I actually wasn't very jealous of them....but I wasn't ever interested in Nintendo DS, since the screen was small, I was never interested in small-screen game systems...-_-;; I tried player Xbox360(my friend's) it was really cool !



But suddenly, PS3 got pretty cheap and was on sale, BIG TIME so my _____ decided to buy one for everyone!!! XD I'm SO happy! How many times did I say that already??



The thing is, school is starting soon, and then I won't have time to learn how to actually "play" the games, and I wouldn't have time for anything! DX School is a pain.....@_@ I've never played any RPG games in my life! I really don't know how...



Most games I want to play are all Japanese.....Square Enix's releases, Neoromance's releases (La Corda D'oro games) *sign* La Corda d'Oro's game is never, ever going to be in English.....since there's already enough "romance" games out there. (dating sim-like)




I just want some suggestions of what games I should play first and about the prices!!

EDIT:Why are most Naruto games on Gamecube, Nintendo DS and Wii??? There's only ONE Naruto game that's for PS3!! T_T



Thank you for reading!

As I said, I re-did my systems completely, and deleted all my programs. (using another computer currently)


I thought of posting some questions after discussing art programs in general with *chibiasta

Just some questions about art programs:

1. After the trial version of SAI is expired, does it still work?? Does it????

I'm having some difficulties with SAI, on the top right corner, it says "Your trial version is expired" but some reason I can still use it.....I already "expired" the trial version a million years ago and entered the serial number a long, long time ago. Is there something wrong??



2. I have openCanvas, but is there a "History" panel like there is on Photoshop?? (without a history panel, it's harder for me) Is SAI better than openCanvas???

I recently heard that openCanvas is also japanese!!! I'm suprised!



3. Where could I download a good english version of Photoshop CS (ver.8.0)??

Yeah, 8 is probably better than 7.0, the older version. So, I'm planning on using that for minor editing. I DO have Photoshop CS4, and it's working great and all, but it crashes on you sometimes when your saving your work. So I thought using an older version would be a bit safer. Does this happen to you sometimes???


---------


I caught my virus by going on to many unsecure sites downloading programs/etc(with popups). So I'm just wondering what are some secure websites that you use for downloading things. (programs, anime episodes, etc.)




Thank you for your time!!
