Ahh, sorry I'm SO slow with the replies. ;_; I'm back to grad school and it's been crazy for the last few weeks...

Oh, I heard there's a very famous taiyaki shop in Azabu Juuban? I would love to visit it the next time I go to Tokyo. ^^

Haha, not the Jessica x Kanon combo? One of my favourite Umineko characters is a spoiler character from Episode 3, maybe you've seen pictures of her already? I really like the whole cast, even the stakes (from Ep2) and the parents (Natsuhi~) .

Yeah, I have seen it. I also heard about Lelouch being the one on the carriage as well, i've also read that maybe he's in The World of C, or that he's really dead. There's alot of opinions out there. I thought it was good, but yeah, there are still some questions that remain without answer. I would of liked to known about them and about some other characters.

I don't know exactly which anime I will watch but there are some interesting ones like Mouryou no Hako, Chaos;head, Casshern Sin (i've seen the original but this one has a new plot and darker feeling), second season of Gundam. I'll give the Kurogane no Linebarrel anime a try also. How about you, any specific anime you looking forward to?

Yeah, knowing that Boa is a Shichibukai was a good development. I also read that maybe she was Lola's mom but like you said, they don't really appear to be alike. Boa seems to kind of a mean person and her sisters look strange and also powerful. It will be nice to find out her power and what else she and her crew can do and also what Luffy will do. ^^

Yeah, it seems alot of people have died but not many important ones. It seems Lelouch has won against Schniezel but there is still fighting going on. Next time it's the final episode, I hope it's very good and that we know what becomes of all the characters.

Sanji would be very happy to be on that island, or maybe Brook as well. ^^; It will be interesting seeing Boa Hancock and also her sisters and what she can do. I wonder if we will only focus on Luffy, until he meets up with the other Strawhats for right now.

Yeah, Shiniezel might be more crazy than even Charles. What a strange family. ^^; I also wonder of the Knights of Round, but more important is that Knightmare that it looks C.C. will use. She might be his secret weapon I think. I guess Nina will be more of an important person than I though, like you said.

I think Luffy is in a bad situation but I think he will be able to escape. I also see why I read, that Margaret could be new Strawhat but right now I don't really think that she will be. I also want sea maiden Island already, I hope it happens this year.

It was a nice surprise to see Nunnally going against Lelouch and Suzaku, now I just want to see what Schniezel's plan really is. ^^; I was also disappointed in the quick defeat of Monica and Drotea, I thought they would be better since they're Knights of Round but it looks like the Albion was too strong. Bismark's Geass was cool, but sadly he was also taken out by Suzaku and the Albion, but it was still a good fight. ^^

I hope that the Strawhats are okay and find each other soon, I wonder what Kuma was saying to Rayleigh. I think Kuma is very mysterious and has other motives. Next chapter will be very interesting.

I didn't know, Thanks for telling me. Let's just hope that it stays for a long time. ^_^

Nunnally survive but appear against Lulu, however it's a Schneiser's plot. It's fatality that he put up a fight against his family. This episode have much battle scene, which is very good. On the other hand, when Monica and Drotea were defeated in a blink of an eye, I was discouraged and wanted to watch their special machine. Well, the fight between Bismark and Suzaku is so hot that I settle for less.

Kuma vanished all strawhat members and said to Rayleigh of something. His action is full of meaning. I wonder if we can see the Luffy's face in next episode and where they go. Consistently One Piece interest us for the event of next.

Hey, it probably seems Hunter x Hunter back in on the October 6th. Sorry, If you have known it.^^;

Yes Your Majesty! It was great to see Lelouch as emperor and Suzaku as his knight and the look on everyone's face. I'm sad the Marianne also turned out to be with Charles on his plan, even if they cared about their children. What you said is very true, it does kind of seem like the Human instrumentality project a little. Now it seems like Schniezel will be against Lelouch.

I'm happy that you will read Hellsing when it ends, it is a very good manga with nice characters but i'm also sad that it's ending. ^^;

I also think Luffy is growing up more. I'm worried about where Zoro was sent and the rest of the crew too. Especially why Kuma showed up. Rayleigh seems very strong and I liked when he stopped Kizaru from turning to light, I hope that everyone gets away safely.

Manga Kissa's sound enjoyable, i would like to go to one. They do sound similar to Internet cafe. Maybe there are more in other countries, maybe even in U.S. and I don't know of it. ^_^

I hope Marianne atleast helps Lelouch somehow, or else things will be even worse for Lelouch. Yeah, C.C. got her memories back pretty easily, I thought it would take more. I'm still wondering what the Sword of Akasha does , we will probably find out soon.

You have very good eyes for detail, yeah the picture is Father Anderson from Hellsing.

It would make sense if Rayleigh's ability has to do something with his job. I think the Strawhats have bad luck to find those enemies, but also Luffy was the one who caused it. I read the newest chapter already and there is something big that happens, I think you will be just as surprised as me. ^^;

I caught up with the manga a little while ago, it feels like it's coming to it's climax already. I think if this anime is based on the manga then it will also be very good. I've heard a little about manga kissa's before but I don't know much about them. They sound like a cool and fun place , do you go there often?

Both Bismarck and Marianne Geass are very interesting, Bismarck seems to be very powerful even without Knightmare, because Suzaku's "Live On" Geass started almost instantly when he faced him ^^; Marianne's seems strange but I think your guesses are right, also she did seem to lack emotion for Lulu. Maybe she is with Charles. Your picture of Orange is great.

I'm glad Rayleigh showed up just in time to save Zoro, it seems he can challenge Kizaru. I think Rayleigh may have a devil fruit and maybe it's his power of haki that let's him fight also. Sentoumaru is strong, he managed to deflect Luffy easily, i also think he might have some strange power as well thanks to Vegapunk. ^^

Have you heard of the new Fullmetal Alchemist anime? It was announced on the new volume released. ^_^

Summer is indeed a great season, but it's not very long in the UK. I love Japanese festivals and hope I can go to more in the future. Last year I went to Kishiwada Danjiri Matsuri (岸和田だんじり祭) which was awesome! This summer has been pretty uneventful in comparison.

I'm enjoying the Umineko manga as well, the story skips over some of the game material, but that's to be expected. Who are your favourite characters so far?

Ah, yes I'm looking forward to Mouryou no Hako too! I just started a new thread for it here. I uploaded a few images from Newtype, would you be able to translate them for the thread? ^^ I hope Kurogane no Linebarreles will turn out well, because I'm worried about the Gundam SEED character designs (one face!) I'm also looking forward to Tytania, Michiko to Hatchin, Kuroshitsuji and Kannagi (and maybe Toradora!)
