I haven't seen the 11 raws anywhere yet. When 12 comes out next week I'm buying both 11 and 12 (and also all of the short story novels that I don't already own...). I'll try to scan it, but I'm not going to make any promises, simply because it's time consuming and I refuse to rip my books apart to make it easier and prettier...

However! The main reason I'm buying 12 is because I don't know if it's going to cover side stories/DVMC or OMGNEWCONTENT since there's no way it's NOT finishing up NoT like halfway through based on what I've seen of 11 from the Chinese scans. If there's new stuff I'll definitely scan that! Since I'm going to give it roughly a week to ship, give me about 2 weeks from today to make any mention on whether or not there's new content. ^^

I wouldn't say so much as a "B-title" work for FMP. I can't necessarily classify any anime/novel as "B-title" really. Different things intrigue different people. I don't necessarily think that it is so much cliche if Kurz survives, as it would be redundant. If he were to do this, hell, why doesn't everyone just live? (except Leonard. he must die!)

[Leviathan ARX-8]

why all this hate toward the poor leonard??? what did he do? (right he separate kaname/sousuke) LOL

i really don't care if he dies or not only if he accepts he loses and he can't do anything and leave kaname/sousuke alone

If he lives,..

Then FMP fandom is over. The man is a PYSCO. He saw his mommie screw another man! -gasp!-
(I suspect it was Kalinin....-points- you pervert bastard!)
and for that he wants to turn in to Dr. Brown use Chidori as a flux-capacitor
and make another universe..(seriously? Nutcase!)


Pyschoo! Don't believe me?

He hired a lunatic porn-obsessed dentist to pilot an armslave (seriously?)

He hired two Chun-Li wannabes with no hips and tits (seriously?)

AND they stold his shit, and blew up hongkong....
....and all he did was shruge (seriously?)

Chidori freaking SHOT HIM, i dont care how much you love the girl, if a girl shoots you, she fucking hates your guts man. what he do? He slaps and kisses her.

WTF?!? He's a Norman Bates + Flabio (I can't believe its not butter...) with alot of destructive toys.



Wheres the Meat-processing plant? GRIND HIM!
Theres a Lambdah-Driver move called "BEEFCAKES"...
go..
Press the button...

GO! DO EETTTT!!


I seriously, would love to see Leonard versus Lelouch (evil engineer vs evil tactican).
And then Sousuke blow up the winner (..by accident with his bontakun)..

See episode: Part-time Steady.

What does Kaname say when Sousuke kisses Mizuki? "You don't steal a girl's lips, isn't that some kind of rape!?"

See episode: Her Problem.

What does Leonard do? FORCES A KISS ON HER.

Kaname's feelings on the matter have been established. It's only natural to hate a man who's done such a thing. Not to mention the smug behavior, the way he thinks of human lives as toys, the manipulative mind games, the way he thinks of anyone that isn't a Whispered as practically their servants and how they should be GRATEFUL to be able to SERVE them oh the poor mentally under-developed fools...

He's a sociopath, the rules don't apply to him, only to everyone else. (Making Kaname scared of Sousuke because Sousuke's killed more people? Never mind that a kill count is a kill count!)

Simply put, the man needs to die a horribly gruesome death. Reform is not an option. Leonard accept that he loses and leave Sousuke and Kaname alone? Are we talking about the same character? He's a guy that thinks he truly loves Kaname and yet he treats her in such a manner, he thinks that she could love him back... even after being treated in such a manner! Somehow he misses her soul-dead behavior because he's just oh-so-awesome and she'll totally fall for him. Or maybe she has and that's why she's upset, perhaps she thinks of herself as some kind of harlot for having fallen in love with two men!? But now she has realized her folly in having cared for a barbarian, perhaps she is trying to atone?!

...Those are my takes on the kinds of thoughts he must be having. He's completely full of himself, delusional, tricks himself into believing that the world bows down to him, he uses his manipulative nature on even his own self. Ordinarily I'd feel bad for such a person, but it seems as though he's aware of this and more than content to live life thinking everything serves him.

[dasvik]

Actually Chidori, you got it somewhat wrong... if we're talking about the novels, there the assassins are men, brothers, not women... in the anime they are women to make it more... interesting/kinky...

Yeah. They really don't appear as much in the novel as in the anime as well. They added a few more scenes of them in the anime, like the shower scene. I'm glad they were changed to girls because two guys touching each other in the shower..... /fail for marketing.

They were brought out much better in the anime too. I thought they were kind of lame when I read the novel, pretty flat assassin characters, but they were given more personality and action in the animation.

At least it isnt the Lolita girls in the Manga...

I cant take a lolita with a gun seriously....

An entire cast of the toughest military in the world.Mithiril
.........chasing dangerous lolitas?

What a piece of sh*t.

am glad the director changed that!
Wonder what else will they change for the better!

wait weren't you saying that you did not like the change from male assassins to the two girls? Or did I misread?

Yes. I just realized. I'm scared, don't stab me.

No no,..the manga's version of lolita girls. Not the TSR anime, those girls kicked ass..o.o..

let me clarify


Novels : the assassins were originally twin dull boys
Manga: the assassins then became lolita girls
Anime: the girls are modified to become kickass deadly chinese bitches.

[Alchemist007]

yeah, that's what I call clarification lol.

well... it wouldn't quite FAIL per se, but it'd probably bring in the kind of fan base that FMP isn't really accustomed to.

and it might scare away some of the long-standing fans as well...


...
oh god... there BETTER never be yaoi in mah FMP!
Lucky Star notwithstanding...

Yoai? The last time they try doing that with Tsubaki and Sousuke (side story)
it ended up in hysterics and a very disappointed Chidori.

Besides,....

The last time a gay-dude was seen in FMP trying to even TOUCH Sousuke, had a gun put to the back of his head. ( Haircut Scene LOL)

If your a guy, try saying "I love you!!" in the mist of battle with Sousuke and see what happens.


Go, I dare you.

Sousuke sent someone to the bottom of the sea the last time that happen. (Garon).


nod*


FMP Military + yoai = Don't mix and someone will die.

[Kimitachi]

That escene was very funny but he was not worried by the fact that the barber was gay, he felt vulnerable to a sharp scissors and a towel. Anyway, I can't imagine Sousuke being chatted by a guy, the poor guy might end like the barber .

[LeoXiao]

Yep, Sousuke is a complete homophobe.
