I've seen the Abridged Series' latest episodes, and I swear LittleKuriboh gets funnier with every update. I've ended up liking the Abridged Series more than the actual series. XD
Also, from what I can tell, not much was changed from the manga in Season 0. And I haven't seen the duelist lingo video yet--got a link to it?
And now that you mention it, yes, there is a manga series about an otaku, strangely enough. It's called Genshiken, I believe, and every main character is some variety of frightening otaku.

It was the original YuGiOh anime by Toei Animation, based on the very first YGO manga series, from before the characters' lives revolved around children's card games. 4Kids never dubbed it because they wanted to get right to the marketable trading card action.

FGS, gentlemen I turn my back for one second and you're all over each other like rabbits! (ehehehehee)
As for the Cat Returns manga, I got it off Amazon for a very cheap price >D
And as for Love Hina, regardless of what ANYONE thinks, I'm still gonna read it >:3 and I have up to v8.
Why can't America hurry up and bring out Fruits Basket? We have like 5 volumes left and yet France has finished before us even T^T

Don't you mean you wish the UK would bring out the last Fruits Basket volumes?
I really want volume 18, but I've never seen it in any of the manga stores I've been in, despite the fact it should already be out now. I think Forbidden Planet just ordered the one copy, which someone else bought before I had a chance to look.

Ditto, I got it off amazon X3 But apparently v 19 is out now, but amazon say it's going to be out December, despite v 20 being out in July.
I've found it on another site, but my mum won't buy it for me ¬_¬
And Rob, I mean America, because places like Forbidden Planet, Amazon and others import from America. In UK we're up to 13-14 only.

Other manga I have include FMA volume 2, Death Note volumes 1 through 4, Tokyo Mew Mew volumes 1 through 4 and 7, One Piece volume 3, Scrapped Princess volume 1 {which I actually found incredibly boring}, and a massive stack of Shonen Jump magazines {which contains YuGiOh, Shaman King, Naruto, One Piece, DBZ, Hikaru no Go, Claymore, YuYu Hakusho, and samples of a few others}.

I got Doll v2 the other day, it's quite funkeh. ^^ a bit dark in some places, but certainly intriguing, and the costumes are just lovely.

On the subject of my least favourite manga, one manga I can't stand simply due to how it looks is Wallflower. Seriously, the guys in that series look like metrosexual J-rocker goldfish. It creeps me out. As for anime I dislike, I can't stand Evangelion, most 4Kids dubs {for painfully obvious reasons}, or I My Me Strawberry Eggs. And the only one I hate more than Love Hina is Hanaukyo Maids--let's just say Love Hina has the character depth, directional expertise, and fascinating story of FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST when compared to Hanaukyo Maids, and that this show's fanservice makes Love Hina look as clean as Animal Crossing by comparison.

Well, I have been collecting and reading several volumes of "Negima!" recently, since it is the next series Ken Akamatsu worked on after Love Hina...

It's a shojo manga about a girl who is really popular at school (smart, pretty, friendly etc) when in reality it's all a big pretense XD Then a new boy comes and threatens her popularity, he finds out she's faking it all and stuff happens. They are the main romantic couple XD

Looks like most of the anime peole have is in english or is ready to be distributed. Trust me to be a fan of maybe the most awkward Anime ever. I have been waiting for Sgt Frog to be translated since last year and ADV STILL don't have it translated yet and theres no release date. I'm surviving on episodes from youtube but it'll have to do while I wait if anyone has a release date I would like to know.

Sgt Frog? BSD, perhaps you can enlighten us on the storyline!
And there's no shame in watching anime of Youtube, I've watched the first two series of Sailor Moon on there! XD

Speaking of which, I recently watched the Japanese version of Sailor Moon, and it was amazing. Especially the voices, they're 20 times better in the original. {Seriously, whose idea was it to make Luna talk like a 50-year-old British woman in the dub? -_- }

That doesn't mean they had to give her that voice. She's actually supposed to be quite young and have a high, youthful voice. Regardless of Luna's role in the story, casting an elderly woman as a young cat is a very weird thing to do.
