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...

I feel your pain Nicholai. Ever since I brought my computer with me to my college dorm, it constantly crashes if I try to run bittorrent. It's never been the same. Damn college can be evil. That was a year ago. I moved out to an apartment, cleaned off all the university software I had to install at ...

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...

Having done some very minor translations of written stuff, I totally disagree with Sword. I know English, Vietnamese and a little Spanish. Translating between different languages, even if it's the same text, might come out different when two different people do it. This is especially true for "idiom...

I think we've all noticed the similarities of translation. Fugu is an excellent translator, but I'm also going to give A-S quite a bit of credit for their work. Have you seen the fansubs by ^_^ ? I really didn't like their translations for Episode 3. Now those seemed to be a rip-off of Fugu. Both Fu...

I also hate Nagi quite a bit. Not so much for the poor developement, or the attitude. Mostly because his character archetype has been done to death ! Please stop beating this dead horse. Dear lord, the main character of every single shounen/fighting/sports/whatever anime is exactly this sort of pers...

Mitsuomi and Maya will have their moment back together. But he's gonna die soon afterwards anyway, either by Nagi or by pushing himself too hard. I don't see why everyone is pushing for him and Maya as a couple .

Deep down I'm a sucker for lost causes too though...

But I hate it when ADV wants 30 dollars for 2 episodes in a 26 episode series. Yes, I've had strong feelings against ADV since buying Evangelion VHS at that crazy pricing many years ago. I'm from north Texas, right next to Dallas. I don't know of any big anime stores around here where I can get imp...

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... I would guess they're changing up the story a bit. By the looks of it, Isuzu is sending Sagara and Ryuzaki as enfo...

No, I haven't. And I think the only anime I've ever seen that Hoshi voiced was Takuto/Ryu on Argento Soma. Either way, I think it's great the way it is.

Oh, actually I saw all of Scryed too. And other ones too, but I don't distinctly remember him on Angelic Layer, Getbackers or Tokyo Underground.

But did anyone think that at first that Seki should have been Nagi and Hoshi as Masataka? Masataka is perfect. Ah, I'm a huge Full Metal Panic fan and Masataka even looks like Sousuke too ^_^. I wouldn't have it any other way. I've never heard Seki Tomokazu play a jerk before, but I think Nagi's se...

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 ...

Well, if you really want to get technical... 100% of any and all fansubs are ILLEGAL. Japanese companies hold copyrights, which are international according to some World Trade Agreement (I'm no expert but I'm sure I read this somewhere) Whether those companies are going to press charges and enforce ...

I really don't wanna have to download those huge raws and try to remember the dialogue from the manga.

Funny, that's exactly what I plan to be doing for the first few eps

Many thanks to Fugu and Mephisto03 for making that possible, btw. You guys rock!

Lots of things change in the transition from manga to anime. Why are they changed? Who knows. And as for favorites, my vote goes to Masataka. Maya and Shin are next on the list. 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...

I keep hearing rumors that TenTen is going to get subbed by everyone and their mother but haven't heard of any groups actually say they'll pick up the series. None at all... But I don't keep up with all the fansubbers, just a few. Somewhat related is the topic of speed vs. quality. I say it's all pe...

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. And I think most fansubbers pretty much stick to "it's not licensed until 100% officially announced." I remember a couple of years a...

Thanks guys. Very interesting stuff, for me anyhow. I feel enlightened by your post Fulsion-sensei.

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 ...

Haha, I think Masataka + Maya would be sort of nice. But yeah, that's pretty much 0% chance to happen. I really would like to see how they met though. I'm sure all of you notice these two seem to be really good friends.. and I find this odd/unexplained. Examples: Maya seems to have high expectations...

Yeah, it does really seem like the refer to the same thing. Thanks for confirming it. Sorry for all the complicated questions, but I have one more for you Fugu (or anyone else). I really don't understand the difference between "chakra" and "ki"... if there's any difference at all. This is what I do ...

Another related note: Gates in Naruto vs. Gates in Tenjo Tenge Anyone know who came up with the idea first? Did both take the idea from a ancient martial arts concept or something? Both have similarities and differences. Similar in that they increase user's strength and fighting ability. Both harm t...

Also, Rock surprised KAKASHI with the opening of the gates, so much so that he had to use his Sharingan, so he's definitely talented... Well, I'm too lazy to rewatch bits of the anime... but I have good memory 8) Rock's Omoto Renge and Ura Renge are "forbidden techniques". Plus these techniques are...

I like Sasuke too, but he seems a bit overpowered to me. Sharingan is comparable to "cheating to get stronger" like I mentioned earlier. Plus the fact that he got as fast as Rock in ONE MONTH, where I think Rock said it took him YEARS of training. So very unfair... I wouldn't say Rock is a "fighting...

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...

Yeah, I think it's pretty obvious that Souichiro and Aya will be the strongest in the end... only because they started out the weakest and happen to be born with powers. Sure, they try to make it look like they work hard... but I still see it as practically cheating. Just like the cheapness by which...

Blah, looks like I hunted down the answer to my own question. And it's in Volume 3, Ch. 19 - pg. 191.

Doesn't seem like a significant bit of info but I hope it plays into the story somewhere down the line. Seems like it should anyhow...

Hi everyone, I'm new to TT, just picked up this series a few weeks ago and read it all pretty fast. Good stuff, heh. Anyhow, I was just talking to my friend about TT and there's something I really want to know (and can't seem to find it). I could swear that at some point they mention that the Natsum...
