Would you like some shabo? It’s shabo. Shabo must be a toy of some sort. The character who sells is Chroniko and she plans to not use her body anymore. Selling it to help her family and someday have enough money to leave the planet. She’s lucky that someone that wants it is wealthy, perhaps going to use it for himself, to be younger, or for their daughter. Pick one that’s the most disturbing and that should be the right answer. Kaiba is being a bit one sided, though. What about all the people who get nicer bodies and pleasent memories of talented people?

Chroniko’s family hasn’t been doing so well, leading to here having to be sold. The person doing the operation at the last minute makes it so she can’t do anything about the situation and releases her memories out to be never used again. The body is then transported, stolen, and only to be taken over by the hippo. During his time in her body he overhears the aunt’s very private words, but after stepping inside her memories (when sleeping) it’s shown the pleasent to more current awful time the aunt was having keeping everything together.

Hippo is Warp? Warp is Kaiba?

The second episode further shows how sad life can be when you’re not privileged. You’re on a large luxury ship that travels to every planet. A certain area of the ship exploded, causing the memories of hundreds of thousands of people to leak out into space. You’d think that would be the most protected area of the ship. Neiro, the female lead plays a big role starting in this episode. She’s from an organization against all the memory manipulation. It’s surely doesn’t have support from the government. Kaiba is also a bit perverted, a slight nudity scene, sexual undertones, and a perverted guard. Go watch.

My first real Photoshop attempt is coloring of manga. A bit of a simple style, but hopefully later on textures and such can be added. For now there’s these. They’re from the manga Tegami Bachi (Letter Bee). A shounen fantasy series with characters who’s duty is to deliver mail to people in a world of eternal dusk.

The user blogs will also sport new featutes soon like custom content blocks, social bookmarking features, media tags, and new ways to have a custom look. The main site will have a matching theme to the rest of the site, but it’s still being worked on.

If you think buying manga is expensive, try getting into games or movies. Those must have staples from the past, limited releases, and the new titles aren’t cheap. If you really want to be a fan and not just a reader, buy it. At least some of it. Royalties do exist in manga, so buying licesned manga in your country does support the mangaka and small studio that created the manga. Japan isn’t perfect and most comic companies are in big cities. Big cities means high rent and cost of living with Japan’s economy as it is. Not that downloading is wrong, since it some countries don’t have much in a way of a manga industry unless you find a site that delivers where you live. You’re a fan, of course you want to experience stuff you like. But wouldn’t it show that you’re a fan if you actually have a series?

There are discounted online stores and buying what little manga in your area does bring more manga to be picked up by publishers. You can even learn the language. Just look at a lot of shounen and shoujo, the hiragana is right next to the kanji. Worth taking classes if it means manga that you can buy for less. Not like you’re going to get tired of the whole weaboo, anime, and manga world.

Stop asking y cnt i dl dis?

It must be hard to be Death the Kid with his need for proper balence, everything being symmetrical, and perfection. Can’t appreciate that he has two females as weapons. That’s the well know idea around most humor with him. Too bad the humor isn’t funny, but it comes with being an adaptation of the manga. Must also be difficult to animate hands holding pistols that are upside down. There isn’t much happening in this series since it’s still in intro mode, but do take a minute to pause right at the part when the school’s big shot Shinigami comments on Death the Kids cute hair. Think about why he said that. If you read the manga, you know the answer perhaps? Episode 3 of Soul Eater has Death the Kid along with Patty and Liz trying to gather enough souls in one mission. Do get to see a weapon using a weapon as a necromancer witch tries to resurect a pharaoh.

Not so related question. Syd Barrett is a Soul Eater character, meaning someone is a Pink Floyd music fan?
