Just finished watching Ghost in the Shell 2.0. Can't go wrong with GitS, but I didn't much like the 3d that was thrown in. And Puppet Master being a "woman" lessened the creepiness factor of her (in the original him) being in a female body.

I'll buy it eventually.

That Naga shouldn't appear in the next TV series?
Naga only appears in the OVA (Which chronologically take place before TV series) and the manga that takes place before the first encounter with Gourry, after that they part ways and she's not supposed to appear (Her cameo in Slayer premium doesn't count)

Hajime Kanzaka stated this several times (Then again, in the novels Lina separates from Amelia and Zelgadiss after volume 8, and joins with new party members, one which happens to be another piece of Mao Shabranigdo)

Well, she should appear... she's the best character.

Not really, Xelloss is the best character. A magnificent overpowered bastard that plays on both sides because he finds it amusing, yet has a deeper purpouse? Yes please.

I'd recommend "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni" (In English: When they cry/When the cicadas cry). It's a really good mindfucker if you ask me. It has a sequel by the name of "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai", and a third sequel will come in 2009.
People who don't like blood shouldn't watch it though, it's pretty brutal sometimes.

Higurashi is funny, bunch of loli's killing each other. But the story makes no sense at all.

The second season explains the connection between episodes. While watching the first one, I was confused too.

Yes it does, you just don't get it.

And I also like Naga! but I preffer the Amelia/Zelgadis combo (if the rumors about the new season happen I will really be in despair).

Oh and about Higurashi, new OVAs are coming next year.

yeah, the cause is something like this. most anime are based off manga, thus they start getting produced when the manga is at it's most popular that's usually before said manga ends. since the manga has not ended normally the anime guys make up an ending that's not related to what the original author wants, or just leave it open ended. This is not a problem with original anime or anime based on eroge-visual novels.

If that Anime got released in the UK, it would confuse the crap out off us, since it sounds, just like a yeast spread over here, called Marmite.

Nah, it's gayest than ever.

As it was mentioned in the animesuki forums, the two common typos for marimite are pretty fun, as marmite and maritime. Still, having never taken a class of japanese wathing something raw is weird, especially for teh very few words I manage to understand (but then again I never took formal english classes).
