MrProphet

Could be... It makes sense, although I'd like to read the translation first. Lots of information is passed between Inue and Mits. Seems like stuff starts brewing.

MrProphet

What I am wondering is... why is Madoka there. Does that mean it's a flashback of before she came to school and Mitsuomi started ralying the troops (Bob, Isuzu, Tagami)?

On the other hand, Inue says something like: "Madoka?! Nande koko ni...", which is like: "Madoka, why are you here..."

MrProphet

HOLY CRAP!!!

That was a cool chapter.

All I'm gonna say is, Inue picked a wrong person to piss off. BIG MISTAKE! 8

MrProphet

So, I guess it'll be one episode for the Maya/Aya fight and the second episode for Nagi's training and perhaps a bit of Ishiyumi.

Let's hope.

OR, they may butcher the storyline even more and somehow mangle it all together.

MrProphet

Aya with a naginata, dressed like a ninja whore? And on the Yamato-like battleship to boot. Yeah, right.

MrProphet

I don't think so, since this girl is holding a naginata and a short katana (not even close to Reiki), and her face looks different.

It might be her for some weird reason, but I think this is a Wani girl.

MrProphet

Ah, it's so good to get a chapter each month. I was a bit peeved with this Fall's schedule.

Anyway, here's the preview!

Looks like we finally get to see that last member of F. As you must know, Wani family specializes in naval tactics.

MrProphet

It's kinda weird that they are going with the Maya/Aya fight on the rooftop, since they've already kissed and made up in the anime version.

Unless they are totally ditching the anime's ending, which sounds even more moronic.

Oh, I guess we'll wait and see.

Thanks, Natsume.

MrProphet

Can you, by any chance, scan this promotional material and let us see it? If it's not too much a trouble.

BTW, what journal is it? NewType, Animage?

MrProphet

Just "Trigun"

MrProphet

They already did.

The first 3 volumes of Trigun were published by Shonen Captain, while Trigun Maximum were published in Young King Ours and these two are separate properties, owned by two different publishers.

Dark Horse is releasing both.

MrProphet

Because it's not Trigun vol. 4, it's Trigun Maximum vol. 1.

MrProphet

That's right. But I was just extrapolating an example of a major american comic book company doing manga. Nothing is certain, definitely.

MrProphet

I have a feeling that Oh!Great wasn't planning all of this from the very beginning, so a lot of the stuff like the families and dragon gates were invented as he went along. So even if some of this stuff is not mentioned in earlier manga, it doesn't mean that he won't attach anything new to establish...

MrProphet

As long as the sex and violence are in, I can forgive an occasional lame attempt at sounding "urban" or "hip". I just can imagine Dark Horse wannabe-cool translators saying: "Wow, how about we insert another "Yo, dudes" in there. Wouldn't that be great?" Also, I just had a thought about Dark Horse. ...

MrProphet

For those of you interested in buying TJTG (like me), the good people over at [E_G] have provided a couple of scans. Thanks, E_G. 8) http://img107.exs.cx/img107/868/012mx.th.jpg http://img107.exs.cx/img107/4473/029ew.th.jpg http://img116.exs.cx/img116/9303/035cw.th.jpg http://img116.exs.cx/img116/45...

MrProphet

Really?

I thought that the fact that Shin's power and madness greatly flared up in the months before his death was the direct result of Mitsuomi coming to Toudou and the fact that Mitsuomi's power and ability increased as well.

MrProphet

12 founding families are the generals of the Takayanagi, with the 6 Red exercising occult powers and 6 White exercising martial arts. I thought it was logical that Takayanagi clan shared both of those directions equally, as in they are both matrial artists, but can use mystic powers of the Dragon Ga...

MrProphet

That's a pretty thorough analysis, can't say I disagree with anything in particular. As for the "resonance", I don't see how that wouldn't be accomplished by feeding Nagi new powers. More likely, the resonance will be created when the heads of Nagi, Natsume and Kago clans get together at the Tournam...

MrProphet

Reread Chap 75 and look at page 15, he's not destroying Fu with the Dragon Palm, Madoka even mentions she knows another person like him (Nagi) they even say it outright on page 22. Pure conjecture. You are just speculating that he has Dragon Fist because he has Dragon Palm, which is a noted Hotaru ...

MrProphet

Tetsuhito has the Dragon Fist like Nagi, he used 2 powers the palm and another one, meaning he used the fist to take someone else's dragon. Kurei mentions this after the fight with Fu. Tetsuhito has Dragon Palm (as per Maya), he doesn't have Dragon Fist. Technically, there is no such thing as 'havi...

MrProphet

I am pretty sure there is a weakness in Inue's mastery of her power we just don't know yet. First of all, all dragon powers come at a price for their users. Second of all, even if a power user is at full potential, he is still vulnerable. For examle, lets take Shin. His power is amazing: he can pote...

MrProphet

That's a very good observation. However, does Kabuto have a dragon? Or Madoka, for that matter... Inue has Dragon Roar, Tetsuhito has Dragon Palm and Mataza has Dragon Claw. Tessen has his water dragon, but it's not a major ability. Madoka and Katsumi never seem to have exibited any Red Feather qual...

MrProphet

Huh? What? Ishiyumi pretty much kicked the crap out of Nagi, even while being understrenght. I don't recall any other fights he was in. Tawara too beat Shin in their fight, all the while bleeding almost to death after Reiki attack, And not to mention him disposing of undead Fu without even looking a...

MrProphet

He hasn't gotten weaker, he just lost his water dragon.

And having no dragon isn't exactly a weakness. You'd never think of calling someone like Maya or Bunshichi weak, right?

MrProphet

Heh, personally I hate it when "moves" are translated. Although I'll agree that some extras notes on them wouldn't have hurt. But since I don't mind myself, I didn't really seek to add them (beside those the translator put). Oh well ;) Note: that was only my fifth edit ever. Oro left for a month du...

MrProphet

Evil_Genius released their own version of chapter 79. Although their editing job is quite fine, and if I might say, a bit superior to Fugu's (KiShodar, we miss you!), their translation is quite subpar. They don't translate a lot of the special terms, leaving them as romaji, AND they provide almost n...

MrProphet

Not only a head wound, but several severed fingers as well...

MrProphet

Simultaneous Shizuru vs Aya vs Madoka and Nagi vs Masa.

Coooool...

MrProphet

But she did say, "eat in another way", so I agree that she implied sex. I don't know, maybe it was just wishful thinking on Inue's part, as if she was "giving" Shizuru to Nagi. But the rest was upto Souichirou and like Fugu, I don't think he is that kind of guy. As for Kagiroi, I think he is much ol...

MrProphet

I fear Oh!Great might pull off a Fu...

Not Frankie Fu, necesserely, but he seems to insert cripples into the story once in a while.

MrProphet

That's correct. In eastern cultures, both a woman can marry into a man's family, or vice versa, depending on social standing of the family. Thus, Souichiro is a Nagi, because he is raised by his mother and Souhaku is aparently an outcast. But feather powers can be inherited from both sides. Though i...

MrProphet

What about Tetsuhito? He seems to have a better hold of the "Dragon's Plam" than Hotaru, even though he's a white feather and he probably hasn't been practicing it as long as her. Since Maya (?) was surprised at this as well, I gather it's a plot twist and quite uncommon. Thus, Kagiroi's ability is...

MrProphet

I think this editing plain sucks... But... I still have my original manga, so whatever...

MrProphet

I think the minor Dragon abilities were only present with the subortdinate families of the Red Feathers. It was never expressly stated, but think logically! Only the red feathers have the "eight" Dragon Gate ability. The White Feathers can manipulate the first seven gates (like Ishiyumi's "water dra...

MrProphet

Ah... the second coming of Gundam Wing (i.e. kill/destroy thing). Bastards...

MrProphet

Yeah, Madhouse probably had their own genga studio do all the key animation, and then outsourced the douga to some korean company.

MrProphet

I don't know... That early shot of Kago was pretty random. I wouldn't call it establishing, or anything.

It looks very nice and very different, but I'm pretty used to the Kago he's been consistently drawing ever since.

MrProphet

I don't know about you guys, but I don't really see much difference. Here's Kago the way he is now: http://ahatsa02.nm.ru/Kago/kago02.jpg http://ahatsa02.nm.ru/Kago/kago01.jpg And this is how he was when we first met him a couple of volumes back: http://ahatsa02.nm.ru/Kago/kago03.jpg http://ahatsa02...

MrProphet

What...the? So was souichirou protecting his father from that girl? He wasn't. Inue compelled him with her powers. Who was that girl? We don't know. But she is probably a scion either of the remaining 3 clans, or of one of the subordinate families. Why is Ishiyumi skinny now when he was all buff be...

MrProphet

Um, no... it just came out. Come on!

Check http://forum.digitalpanic.net/ in a week or so.

MrProphet

Neither does it have the same financial and fandom backing as Tenchi Muyo!

If Madhouse outsourced all of TenTen animation to Korea, as it seems from the credits, I kinda doubt that they are putting big bucks into it.

MrProphet

Also, another thing... What's the currect status of the F? Ishiyumi seems to be loyal to Takayanagi family, so he is out of Kago's camp. Tsumuji I am not sure about. He was disposed of before the rift between Mitsuomi and Kago became aparent, so I guess he was loyal to both of them, but got taken ou...

MrProphet

I looked up the Ultra Jump special, and indeed, the last of the White Feather families is Wani. According to the special, they "take care of naval aspects, and are expert in other unique areas". Their former leader is the bald guy with a bat (remember that meeting between Nagi and other old-timers?)...

MrProphet

Hey... pretty much everyone is jailbait in TenTen. Including the main characters.

Would YOU mind a girl like Maya?

MrProphet

Usually they release one DVD per 4-6 months. Depends on how they are planning the quality.

Stuff like Tenchi Muyo or Macross Zero get released every 6 months.

Hentai OVA's are usually 3-4 months in between, but you can guess the quality.

MrProphet

To me it seemed like Tetsuhito sliced off her arm as well, since Kago's blade was clean. And he had this weird tattoo on his face and arm. Could it be his uncle or something? Ishiyumi totally owned Kabuto Junior. Man, that guy didn't even try to evade. But it's cool that he has finally abandoned his...

MrProphet

Some more TenTen cosplay. A really hot Maya and a bunch of I-don't-really-care-who-you-are people. :twisted: http://www.pcgames.com.cn/cartoon/photo/0411/pic/pcgames1106ttcos01.jpg http://www.pcgames.com.cn/cartoon/photo/0411/pic/pcgames1106ttcos02.jpg http://www.pcgames.com.cn/cartoon/photo/0411/pi...

MrProphet

Great news! Thanks, Maya. Any information on DVD's videolength?

I know, OVAs are usually one episode per DVD, but I wonder how long it will be and what they are planning to animate.

MrProphet

Nagi sucks...
