Yep, I've got it set up. I'm using Bitlord btw, is this the best program to use?

[Tobal]

no idea, i just Torrentstorm. Its old but dependable

[Taka]

If you're using a router, enable UPnP and then install it within Windows (Control Panel > Add Remove Software > Add/Remove Windows Components > Networking). Takes care of the need to be particular with which ports to open and which not to, just lets whichever Bit Torrent client you're using to do it for you. I'm personally using Bit Tornado; tried Azureus which seems to be the daddy at the moment but I wasn't happy with it so went back to Tornado.

GSD - 35

Wow that shinn is such a sodding fool.

->Open Spoiler<-

i didn't realise it before but that flashback from Rey clearly shows he's working his revenge for his mentor's death in GS through Shinn, who's still acting like Cock of the walk, i cheered when Athrun punched him, and we finally see Destiny(looking like Freedom mark2) and Legend(Funnel Mech, mask guy used in the final eps of GS), and going from the preview i don't think athrun will be using any of them... which means Shinn gets Destiny and Rey gets Legend(mentor's Mech an all), but i could be wrong, arthun could steal one of them.... either way its got me looking forward to the next episode.

IGhost in the Shell - SAC 2nd gig - left off where the 1st series ended, with more the same goodness from the story to the animation/music, 2 eps out so far. Can't say i like the new opening though, the 1st series OP was better.

I didn't like the first series opening, the fact that this one is apparantly worse does not bode well!

Anyone been catching Tsubasa Chronicles? I got the (live-evil) first two episodes, must say it doesn't seem bad at all so far, but I've heard it slows down a bit, and becomes slightly boring?

[Tobal]

I liked both opening?s, it good and enjoyable change having the song sung in Russian, instead of Japanese/Engrish.

As for Tsubasa I stopped watching it, didn?t like the design that much. I think what really put me off was the badguys, I haven?t seen a bunch of generic looking piles of puke in ages and that goes for the pokemon summon?s to.

Finally finished watch Shura no Toki, downloaded the last batch of episode after ? year of zero sub releases, they finish the last 7eps and release them together. Still top, top fighting/animation and the story line that messes with Japanese history is really interesting specially when it moves on to the Shinigami(I think that?s what there called) the famous government samurai dog?s, sadly my knowledge of this is limited to what happened in that anime with small ginger kid that used them a few years back(name?), so I could at least point out there famous commanders and general history.

Speed Grapher - I use Shinsen Subs who are ace IMO. Very good subs with hardly any mistakes so far IMO.

Basilisk - I use IY4ever fansubs & Katana Fansubs version(joint project or something), but they stopped subbing at ep7 because Basilisk got licensed. Currently I think a group called Okoi^Sugoi are subbing it. I just watched their ep8 and it was decent enough, though not as good as IY4ever&Katana's versions. So I'd say eps 1-7 of IY4ever/Katana if you can find them and basically try and get the Okoi^Sugoi version of ep 8 which is the most recent ep that's been subbed I think.

Trinity Blood - I use Anime-Empire & Conclave's version. Again they're ace IMO, easy to understand and very few mistakes if any.

Does anybody know when in relation to the series I should watch the One Piece movies and specials? Kaizoku's suggested time-line is based on their release in Japan but the first movie features crew members I've yet to meet in the series.

[Tobal]

I can?t remember who?s in each of the movies for 1-2 so if you say, I?ll but the pieces together for you, all i remember right now is movie 3 happens after the Crocodile arc, and movie 4 happens before they get to jaya and the start of the Sky Piea arc.

Also watched Naruto 137-138, just wtf is up with Sakura, that face she makes when she?s alone with the ninja girl is extremely creepy, and the girls enjoyment of it suggested she doing a little more than treating a wound.

Sorry for straying off topic a little, but the first anime I've watched in a long time is Samurai Champloo - and only because a friend recommended (and gave) it to me and I have to say that I really enjoyed it. So I was wondering are there any others out there that are similar to it? I mean in terms of that it was quite light-hearted and funny, I'm not looking for anything too serious you see. But I havn't seen Cowbob Bebop, is that along similar lines?

Anyway I'm just interested in what you guys think would be a good watch?

Thanks.

[Taka]

You won't go wrong with Cowboy Bebop; in fact, both series even shared the same director, Shinichiro Watanabe.

[shuzo]

Ok thanks, I think I'll definitely try and get my hands on it
