If the tournament is going to be filled with a lot of red feathers, then the fights are definitely going to be wild. Just imagine all of them resonating in one place. The more "white feathered" characters, such as Maya, Bob and Masataka are not bad either--though I predict there's going to be a slig...

Chello wrote:Do all of these red feather powers tap into some mysterious force or something?

Don't the powers of the red feathers resonate with each other? I think this is mentioned in somewhere in the fight between Nagi and Tsumuji. Even Aya mentions this.

kujoe

Just the past arc of TT? What about the current arc? Its interesting that you brought that up because not too long ago i was talking to a few people that liked Ten Ten and they said the back story arc is the best part in the manga. And in any manga, a person isn't suppose to like the backstory bett...

I actually like your notes on the pages. That way, all I have to do is look at your footnotes for extra info--no need to go back and forth. But if there's something you really want to comment about, and it's too long for footnoting, then maybe including a txt file will suffice. But don't include too...

I actually think he was a good match for Madoka. If she didn't have that many weapons to begin with, that fight might have ended differently. Then again, maybe not. I kinda presumed it would be so one-sided in Madoka's favor. I'm glad I was wrong.

kujoe

In fact, I have a feeling that Nagi was kidnapped with a purpose of fighting Mitsuomi, since Nagi is a son of two Red sorcerers. I finally realized the implications behind Souichirou's "superior blood." I used to think that the manga was just referring to the Nagi line, but it seems his Kago herita...

kujoe

Is he taking Nagi away to train him for the upcoming Tournament? The timing is obviously right, but it would be a neat twist if Oh Great! decided not to include the main character in the big event. I actually wouldn't be surprised if Nagi goes to his side and is made to fight against the Jyuukenbu ...

kujoe

I thought about that too. I think his assistants have something to do with it. Moreover the slight, different nuances in style are also carried over to Air Gear. Maybe his style evolved over the years? That's quite normal for anyone who likes to draw. Even as one grows older, the style undergoes som...

kujoe

It was a rape-as-part-of-torture. As for it being "fanservice," there were certainly other ways to show a character being tortured. Oh Great likes drawing naked women, so if there is a scene in which you could come up with a reason for a naked woman to be present, Oh Great is likely to provide it. ...

That was a year ago. I moved out to an apartment, cleaned off all the university software I had to install at the dorm, etc. Still crashes my computer. My roommate last year had the exact same problem. He told me he tried to format his harddrive and even that DID NOT fix it. Your computer may not e...

raped in a van?? the only one that got raped is chiaki and that was in a landromate(sp?). maybe u were talking about something else... That girl in volume 10. I believe she was taking care of that little boy that can create illusions. There was a bunch of guys in the van doing crazy things to her a...

kujoe

Judging from his recent experience with Tsumuji (F)'s adult thugs, Nagi's power is only effective which fighting against another red feather. Every other fight that he has "won" was more a matter of him refusing to stay down and his one good technique (the forged needle). Only ? Probably, but I'm s...

MrProphet wrote:Is it customary for students to start high school at 15?

According to the Japanese educational system, yes. Not always of course, but just like burrowowl pointed out, 15 years old is usually the mininum.

elementary: 6 years
jr. high school: 3 years
high school: 3 years
university: normally 4 years

kujoe

Yeah, I know. After all, it's just the start of a new school year. But I was just wondering...how many times has Bunshichi repeated the senior year? 3 times right? I was just assuming that Maya's 17 years old based also on that. Or am I wrong?

kujoe

[quote="nerozan"]Don

kujoe

The anime refers to Maya as 17. Well, maybe it's not always a good idea to refer to the anime all the time--but that's something to think about nevertheless.

No..wait. I just checked it. Maya also refers to herself as 17 years old in the manga. (see TTvol1, p24) You can probably start from there.

kujoe

I think it's better off subbed too. Can you imagine the characters screaming the names of their moves in English? I hope that won't be excessive, but I'm also concerned about the quality of the translation in general.

kujoe

^Couldn't have said it better myself. And big boobs don't necessarily equal fanservice. It's just the author's preference. Maya's VA is Hisakawa Aya, who is pretty experienced doing both cute voices (Skuld in Ah! My Goddess) and mature characters also (Warrior Empress Nakajima Yoko in Juuni Kokki, a...

kujoe

That last pic of Shin is great. :) Clean, sharp and damn smooth. The Isuzu sketch is also good. I think that one in particular has a LOT of potential if you focus on it. Keep up the good work! And about the fishnet thing--I tried that once too, and the difficulty for me was in following the contours...

kujoe

That's sort of ambiguous lately, but I'm sure Geneon USA has a stake in it. They probably assisted in terms of financing and resources--I don't know--but definitely they're getting something out of it. Now, that doesn't exactly mean a license, but it also means that there's some negotiating going on...

kujoe

I know one place, but the screenshots are pretty small. And last time I checked, there wasn't a shot of Bunshichi. Why not just capture one yourself? If you've got problems, try "print screen."

kujoe

I think he was just teasing when he used the word, "cute." Besides, despite the hair color or funny voice--that's still Bunshichi. Just look at those porn magazines!

Btw, I like Mitsuomi's voice. It really matches him.

kujoe

You're right. Her first appearance takes place before that other scene when Masataka's father asks him if he has a girlfriend early in the morning. My mistake.

kujoe

Hey, thanks.

Hmmm. I might as well try other bittorrent clients myself, but I usually download only one file at a time anyway, so the regular one just suits me at the moment.

kujoe

I know everyone is probably sick of me saying it... but... tenten 4 by a-s came out today. No clue how good the episode is since I haven't had the chance (nor bandwidth) to d/l the raw or the sub. anyone get it yet? comments? The quality of the art is lower in some segments in my opinion. It's pret...

kujoe

Well, I wasn't comparing them based on personality, since I haven't seen a single episode of Naruto. But from what I've been told, in relation to the way they fight, they're quite similar--as in, one guy posseses a power that has great potential, while the other is more polished and talented. And is...

kujoe

One of the problem with dubs is the pronunciation of Japanese names--unless of course the names are not Japanese. I can understand if the acting is somewhat bad, but a good dub that pronunces names badly can be worse sometimes. But the worst culprit of all is incompatible voices. That's why I usuall...

kujoe

Agree. TenTen has a lot of interesting characters and I prefer seeing the story revolve around a good number of them rather than the just the hero. And if some readers are still miffed that their favorite character doesn't get the main role or if they still harbor complaints regarding the main chara...

kujoe

I haven't watched it either but I can tell, just by looking at a few pics, that it's indeed comparable--especially with regard to Nagi and Masataka. Personally, my first impression was that both of them are like Sakuragi and Rukawa of Slam Dunk. You have the energetic, amateur player who's filled wi...

kujoe

I think you should better wait until the manga is finished, or when it gives more substantial info regarding the families before starting with that RPG. You never know when an unexpected plot twist is going to turn things upside down. Unless, of course, you're planning to make your own game based on...

Heh, maybe...

But I think the lowest spot is for Mitsuomi.

Only 3 minutes and he's already reached his limit!

kujoe

The most glaring example of the characters not looking quite so nice is during the end credits. The poor girl looks like she has a developmental disorder The first thing I noticed was how weird her face looks in the credits compared to the rest of her scenes in the anime. I think it has something t...

kujoe

Even though I'm not too fond of having many characters myself (think Yu Yu Hakusho or your favorite Naruto), I believe it's quite inevitable that certain things will be left unanswered or unattended--since a story is told from a limited number of perspectives--most of the time, only one. I also thin...

kujoe

Nice site. I was actually surprised at the effort they put in making it. It kind of reminds me of the old Japanese games I used to play on my Super Famicom--probably because of those animations and the background music.

kujoe

This manga is pretty good. Clean and sharp--a good example of simplicity done well. Thanks for releasing this one and keep up the good work.

kujoe

Hmmm. A ranking list like that will often change depending on the situation. For example, Aya or Shin can be ranked higher if their Dragon's Eye kicks in, or if a situation calls for Masataka's expertees, then certainly he'll be rated higher as well. You really can't tell in the long run--especially...

kujoe

You know, I'm suprised Oh! Great has managed to keep his gag with Sugano/Asshat going for so long. If you've noticed.. he NEVER fights, I mean he gets in fights.. but the story immediately changes to someone else or another scene, so we never know how well or even how he fights. Anyways, I was wond...

kujoe

I think that only proves how weak she is. If she is only depending on the Dragon's Eye then she is not a good fighter. She is probably the weakest of the group right now. I'm not suprised Fu beat her either but it didn't even look like she damaged him one bit. She needs to train more instead of bei...

kujoe

Wow.. Fu defeated Aya when she was using DragonEye You might also want to consider Aya's proficiency in the Dragon's Eye in the first place. Obviously, she's not yet that good. As it can be seen in the previous chapters, she's still developing a feel for it. It's not really surprising that Fu Chien...

Now that pic screams hotness.

But you guys forgot to mention the wide cuffs of her sleeves!

kujoe

It's most likely that Isuzu's ability in manipulating her form can play a big role in saving her life. She'll just probably be out of action for a while--which is too bad, because I find her appealing when she poses and fights. No more fights for her in the meantime at the very least. That short Isu...

kujoe

Did any of you read the manga, or translations of it, or are you just going on guesswork based on the pictures? Obviously, my comments regarding on this matter are based on guesswork. So yes, I would like to have this clarified as well. Seeing how Madoka looks comparably younger than Masataka in ap...

kujoe

I think Banorac was referring to the Tenjo Tenge manga that's licensed in France(?) and not the one that the Italian website uses.

kujoe

Yeah ok--I get your point. Forgive me if I was trying to criticize her stupidity.

kujoe

I think Masataka is 16, because I'm sure that Maya is 17 (or eighteen) and she's a senior. (3rd year high school, according to the Japanese education system.) Masataka then should most likely be 16 years old or in second year since he's referred to as "sempai" by Bob, who--along with Nagi--just got ...

kujoe

Hmmm ok. I guess I misunderstood Shin's comment to Mana, about the Takayanagi Clan having no use for "second-rate goods." Thanks.

kujoe

Yeah, I know what you mean. If she's older than the ages 13 or 14, then her character design is most likely loli-inspired. (But dang man--Aya is 15 years old?!) I'm not into loli myself. Anyway, I'm still interested to see how this turns out.

kujoe

I'm not comparing the two of them personality-wise, nor was I comparing them with regard to their outlook in life. I'm talking about their fighting capability. I guess my use of the word, "monster" was somewhat ambivalent, but I was using this in reference to Masataka's ability to kick ass when he s...

kujoe

Maybe not exactly going berserk, but possibly her power will take its toll on her eventually. And Shin is not exactly that weak--it's just that the guys he's fought with are two of the strongest characters so far--"3 minute" Mitsuomi and Bunshichi. It's like comparing a great fighter to an ubermensc...

Things are looking good. We get to see a little more of Souichirou's dad--and finally Bunshichi gets more page time! But wait--what are those swirling spirits around Souichirou's dad? Does that mean he's a red feather too, or something else entirely? I thought the exorcist blood was from Makiko's li...
