As far as the manga's I'm sure they can bring those all to the states cause no matter how old a manga is it still sells (Dragon Ball) is an example. I hope everyone appreciates the time and effort I put into contacting Viz so everyone will be able to enjoy all of their series. Let's hope that they realize bringing these to the states will be good not only for us but for everyone else who's never heard of these series as well. Also, They said that they might bring the entire Ultimate Muscle anime straight to DVD since there's been a high demand for it. I don't know about you but to me that's a great thing, I do hope though that they do it like Death Note and Naruto by making it Dual Audio with Japanese and English with Subs.

Except this is Viz, they can turn anything amazing into a downright mess nowadays (if it's not popular, so to speak). Del Ray is more deserving of meh spending money. And don't give Milkypop your spending dollars unless it's for Aqua and Aria.
At first panel: A hint of Mari porn is the worst kind of porn there is.

Yes, I love Del Ray! The only thing I ever read released by Tokyo Pop was Cyborg 009, and that was only because I'm a die-hard fan and wanted to read it no matter what.Del Ray is more deserving of meh spending money.

I kinda have to agree here. Natsuko looked fine in her earlier Nisei appearances (especially during the Terryman vs. Kinnikuman fight), so why does she look so weird now? Same goes for Mari, though she doesn't look quite as bad.
Feels so disturbed by Natsuko that he can't look at the Kinniku Driver attack.

And everyone is crying about it.It looks like the Mari/Suguru/Binbinba drama is being brought to a close; slowly, mind you, but it is happening.

Characters only, we couldn't give two shizznits if Mari left again.
Nezumi-Otoko does. Turns out he was the one behind all of this.

Nezumi-Otoko: Bi-Bi-Bi!! My plan was to have Yudetamago screw up their work so badly that all the fans would burn everything Kinnikuman related that they own. Then I would've made a fortune selling the "rare" Kinnikuman goods that I had stockpiled....
...It seemed like a good idea at the time...
Idol: And, YES, I did in fact have to make this stupid joke!

Ah, good. I was hoping this was what we'd see from the chapter. It looks like the Mari/Suguru/Binbinba drama is being brought to a close; slowly, mind you, but it is happening.
Good. I'm so sick of it, seriously.

Words cannot express how much I love the both of you right now. Cyborg 009 deserves more love. Scratch that, nearly all of Ishinomori Shotaro's creations deserve more love.

Bibinba protests against Jikan-choujin, since she thinks they told a lie, because Suguru is not released from hour-clock curse even though Mari hugged her.
Then, Mari reveals that she did not hugged Suguru.
As many of you guess, Mari did not because Suguru refused to be hugged by Mari.
Suguru said that he has a fiancee Bibinma, and to be hugged by Mari would be disrespectful to not only Bibinba but also Mari, especially if he once loved her.
Suguru told Mari that he could win without being released the curse and that he would fight for Bibinba and Mari.
Suguru acted like a "hero", I think, however, his behavior is irrational, self-approving, and above all he hurt Mari and Bibinba.
So does Bibinba all of a sudden have a death wish?

The big question is, will he strive to one-up Super Phoenix?

Update (7/1/2012 [7th Jan]) - Years away can calm a mind down quite well. I don't think of myself as some maligned martyr of the site. Rather it's just that I was unfortunately caught by the mudslinging of a rather unpleasant (and unprofessional) translator, who didn't like people taking the spotlight away from him, particularly if they happened to actually be able to properly translate work, as opposed to him. Nevertheless, despite the fact that all my work was my own, I got constantly accused of plagiarism, thanks to this unpleasant individual constantly saying how I stole his work. (When rather, it was going to end up being the other way round.)
I'm a lot more forgiving about the whole ideal, with how I ended up getting treated on this forum, as a result of this incident, but at the same time, I am still not in any mind to come back and join in again, nor will I uplaod any more of my translation work on here. This includes any of my old work, or my newer and much more accurate work. Some may see this as being petty, spiteful or based off an old grudge, and you may be right. However, I thought I'd explain things a little.

And it's also betrayal to Bibinba's sincerity that he choses death, despite her great efforts to save him.
Suguru acted like a serious "hero", but he hurt those who love him.
And I think Yude should not focus on love stories in Kinnikuman stories.
I have to agree with Luna-san on this one. If Suguru had simply not said "I can do this while under the curse
", he could have earned some respect back, as he was providing closure on a major issue. Even if he had said "I would rather fight and die while under this curse, than hurt Bibinba by your cure". In fact, that probably could have earned him all his respect back.

Quoted for justice.And I think Yude should not focus on love stories in Kinnikuman stories.
Love stories aren't really THAT important, though I do find Mantaro's constant anime affections (READ: ANIME) towards anime Rinko to be hilarious (Episode 51 <3), but the whole entire Man/Rinko/Jade love triangle thingy was completely un-needed.
Just like Kojima's next game.

I thought he made movies! Long, redudant, boring as all hell movies!
Many, imagine Metal Gear Solid as a game franchise instead of a bunch of long-arsed films. That'd rock!

Well crap, now I have to troll Hideo along with Sonic Team, Yude, bad artwork and plot lines. At this rate, I'll then troll the awesomeness Super Mario Galaxy and Klonoa Wii. I'm well on my way to gaining enough experience points to raise to a level four troll!Hideo Kojima... making a GAME?!?
