Yeah, I never read the manga either. I don't read manga in general despite my interest in American comic books. I think it's because so many of them are made in anime and I just prefer watching an anime to reading a manga. It brings out the visual beauty of the artist better than a manga can and in my experience, a lot of anime stay very true to manga storylines anyway like Rurouni Kenshin(well it was faithful up to the Kyoto arc)and Inuyasha. I love animation and Japan does it so well that I find anime more to my liking than the mangas many of them are based on

I've never actually watched the anime, but I love the manga. It's quite possibly my favorite manga out there.

The problem with the Gunsmith Cats anime I heard is that it's extremely short compared to the manga, and it's also pretty damn expensive last I checked. Granted, last I checked was when ADV died and everything they published went up in value sharply.

Yeah, man. Happened last year I believe, because I remember it happened just before I went to AWA. There were a lot of former employees at AWA selling a ton of ADV merch for REALLY F'ING CHEAP, but I was too stupid to realize it would all go up in value. All I ended up picking up was The Slayers OVA Collection for $10.

A good friend of mine got much luckier, picking up Kino's Journey... which, when I checked prices online afterward, starting going for $100+.

You know, if all you're interested in is a license, why not try your hand at making a Beats of Rage mod?

You do quite a bit of punching in the first NES GI Joe game if I remember correctly. I guess it is a run n gun though...it has been a long time since I played it.

Because that would require a lot of sprite editing and such. And motivation. Motivation is the thing I'm lacking most right now.

I've gotta WIP Darkstalkers OpenBOR mod, and it's just kinda been sitting there, collecting virtual dust. I've got a pretty huge problem with motivation, unfortunately.
