Oh, and you could argue that Tawara's "training" was fight experience over the years. I still don't buy that story though. Everyone has fight experience. You could say: "in the eyes of a novice there are many options, in the eyes of the master, few." It's possible people develop their own fighting s...

I'm not sure what people are seeing as so supernatural about the Forged Needle... It's a really strong punch. Woo. I'm almost positive the Forged Needle is NOT a Red Feather-only technique. Regular martial artists can learn it too. This doesn't mean it's not incredible though, definitely not just "...

I pointed out this fact before, in a different thread. Natsume family was definitely higher born than Takayanagi in the past. This is a fact, totally concrete. Anyone looking for the evidence : refer to Volume 3, Chapter 19 and Page 191. It's all there in stone. They say Natsume was "born higher" an...

Chapter 64 was definitely great. I would go so far as to say the new discovery about Nagi's powers gives his character a whole new dimension... well, at the very least it makes him more interesting to me personally. Unlike many other fighting anime/manga series, I really like how Tenjo stresses the ...

I completely agree also. When I started out reading the manga, I honestly couldn't tell who the main character was supposed to be. Even though they say Nagi is supposed to become the strongest in the group, and that he's necessary to their "plans" or whatever, I'm glad no single character gets the t...

That might be true. But I personally think it's more interesting if not everyone "kicks ass" all the time. As someone commented earlier, he seems to be the brains behind the operation. Almost everytime you see Kurei, he has his laptop out analyzing something. Sure, that's not as flashy to look at pa...

Yeah Sagara is the masked wrestler. Shown on the left in your screencap, without mask. Now that I think about it... judging by the eps 2 preview and from what we know about the manga...

Well, it looks like pretty much everyone (including me) finds the anime a lot of goofy than the manga. As for Aya, her voice isn't music to my ears. But since no one else will defend her, I guess I will. While she's chasing Nagi, she really is sort of acting childish. The seiyuu's voice definitely c...

I just watched the raw eps and it's not bad IMO. They do make everything a bit goofier than the manga though. First eps covers the first 2 chapters of manga with a few extra scenes of Aya chasing Nagi around and stuff like that, nothing important. Voice acting was good for the guys... Nagi, Bob and ...

Tawara is alright but I don't seem to like him as much as most people here. Nagi's dead last, his character type is way ov...

A lot of people are saying it's licensed but why doesn't Geneon's official site say anything at all? Nothing in press releases section remotely mentions any new anime.

Masa and Isuzu... fight together? Sure. Become friends? Also likely. Develop feelings? I really doubt that. How likely is it for Aya to give up on Nagi? It's basically the same deal for Masa chasing Aya. Both were "love at first sight" type things and both are unrequited loves. If anything, Masa is ...

I like Sasuke too, but he seems a bit overpowered to me. Sharingan is comparable to "cheating to get stronger" like I mentioned earlier.

I'd have to agree it looks like the Past Arc won't be covered. Aside from no seiyuu for Shin, most anime series run 13 to 26 eps. Doing the while Past Arc would be a big commitment, taking up at least half the normal TV season. And that'd probably be a shortened version too. :D But overall I don't s...
