^ I don't know. If only one of them got it, I'm not really impressed.

Of course we do have safety questions as well...

Calm down. It was just one bot.

I deleted him already.

^ The manga follows the original light novels and is really good. The anime starts off similar, but some of the character development doesn't really come through and the ending is completely different.

If you're going to pick one, I'd advise the manga. If you want to do both, I suppose it's better to watch the anime first, though it doesn't make that much of a difference (it's only 11 episodes anyway).

NeeNee hasn't been online for a month. I imagine her reaction upon seeing the burst of forum activity and the multiple pages in the spoiler moping thread will be like this:

Actually really, really pleased with how well the forum's been doing. It's still active, everyone's mostly on topic and I haven't noticed any fights (yet).

Even the spambots seem to have behaved. I should go away more often.

- So a monster is attacking and... are they just going home, or did Yukio just ditch everyone to go fight it by himself?
- Rin looks like he is noticing something. Such a rare sight to behold.
- That's a great idea, annoy the fuck out of the laserbeam shooting monster. Is this a new type of creature or have a whole bunch of exorcists not done their research?
- Lightning... what are you doing?
- Those two are sort of alike and yet total opposites. Yukio can't stand guys like that.
- Um, Lightning? You're looking kind of scary there.
- Um, Yukio? You're looking kind of scary there.
- Shima still can't decide if he wants to be comic relief or a serious threat.
- How does the Order still exist when everyone is so utterly incompetent at their job? Don't allow the criminal to hand over evidence to his allies during his arrest, geez.
- Yukio looks so startled at Lightning suddenly helping him. I wonder if Lightning was planning to give him the info or if it's just because he's the only person around who won't squeal.
- Poor Bon, always too late.
- They better give us some real revelations next chapter and not just 20 pages of Yukio freaking out over some unseen info.

^ The author of Dragon Ball intended to end it after they collected the balls for the first time.

Things don't always go as planned, is what I'm saying.

^ Nah, Yukio would do great. He knows exactly what he is supposed to say and he can do so believably.

It'd all be lies, but good luck figuring that out if you don't know him.

^ I agree. I never liked the ship to begin with, but now it got downright creepy. If she does fall for him like this, I'm gonna question her mental health.

Agreed that the female-on-male violence double standard is the worst.

Is there really a rule that says you can't hit girls though? Because as I see it, it depends more on which kind of hit is being used.

1) When someone slaps you in the face with the palm of their hand, they're making a statement. They are letting you know that you have severely offened/angered them. This is more often used by females (on male and female), but it can also be done by males, like Shiro hitting Rin in the face in the first chapter. It is meant to hurt but not to injure; it is not an invitation to start a fight. Do not hit back.

2) When someone punches you in the face with their fist, they're picking a fight. Go ahead and hit back if you want. The only exception here is if a woman (or a man, for that matter) is punching you in defence because you cornered/grabbed her or something. But if a girl socks you in the jaw out of the blue, I certainly wouldn't blame you for returning the favor.

I'm 6 (Youzou, I guess?). I often cross my arms like that.

Yukio looks like a vampire in his coffin.

Ah, yes. Because if there's one thing this series needed, it's more Gundams.

Damn Lightning is a savage and Yukio even more so. Can't wait until Rin hears about this, I bet he's getting real sick of the pulling guns on people crap, hope he breaks his gun

Eh. This is Yukio we're talking about. He uses two guns, and knowing him he probably has a drawer full of spares, too.

Try breaking his other arm. I want to see Rin feeding him.

If (one of) the main characters get killed, it'll only be at the very end of the manga.

Unless it's a redeeming heroic sacrifice. But I hope not. Yukio has already dug trough so much shit, he could at least have a happy future.

Shima should just have a kid and be done with it.

I'm assuming Yama jumps over as soon as there are descendants... Shima's father is alive, isn't he?

Oh but we already have baby Juzo/Mamushi and as I said I think having them conceive that child just at this particular time could not be a random thing at all.

... Do you think they're planning to kill Shima right after the child is born or something?

Because otherwise, having another nephew won't change much. Shima's sister already has kids of her own and that did nothing.
