In Topic: Earthquake strikes Tokyo

I just hope everyone in Japan is well and safe. That's the most important thing, they're safety and lives. I'm really concerned about all the images I'm seeing of the earthquake. It breaks my heart to see so many people suffering. I know that Japan will overcome this tragedy.

I'm relieved to hear Kishimoto is alive and well. Does anyone know or has anyone heard if the following manga artists are safe and well: Yuu Watase, Hiromu Arakawa, Rumiko takahashi? I can't find any info on them. My prayers go out to Japan. I have college friends who live there. I hope everyone is safe and sound.

Why doesn't VIZ media release the newest Naruto manga chapters online in English for free just like they do with Rumiko Takahashi 's Rin-ne series? I've been reading the series online for free since the first chapter was published on Rumic World. Viz publishes a new chapter every week. It's currently the only manga Viz is releasing simultaneously with Japan. The latest chapters are available to read for free on their website every Wednesday and then after a few weeks they are removed. Then, the older chapters are published in a bound volume and sold to the public. I think this is the best way they can resolve the whole licensing problem.

The publishers want their manga to be read online. Manga being free to the public is hurting the manga/anime industry sales so the companies are fighting back by releasing the newest chapters of their manga online for free on their websites. Before the newest volumes get published/released to public, the latest manga chapters are removed from the site so if readers want to reread the chapters, they have to buy the book.

If Viz tried this method, Naruto would get published in English and Japan at the same time and the manga would be available to the public legally. The companies wouldn't lose profit cause they would be translating the newest chapters and not the scanlating websites. Then, after a month or so, the newest chapters would be removed and replaced with summaries of the chapter. Afterwards, Viz would give readers the chance to purchase the latest volumes from their site. So we would still be able to read the latest Naruto chapter but eventually we would have to purchase the manga if we wanted to read the chapter again.

The first few chapters of Rin-ne are available to read online for free as previews. If you want continue reading the rest of the older chapters, you have to purchase the manga.

Take a look at the site to see what I mean: http://www.shonensun...rinne/?trwredir

YES!!! FMAB movie confirmed!!!

I think the story might be somewhat fanfiction-like with new enemies, new plot, new characters etc... if not, then that means it's probably somewhat a spin-off like the OVA's


I personally think the story is going to focus on Ling Yao. I hope the movie picks up a few years after the series ended. I would write the story like this:

In Resembool, Edward's a Dad and has settled down with Winry. He has given up his adventurous life-style. Alphonse has mastered alkahestry and is now teaching people in Amestris. Meanwhile, Emperor Ling Yao is having problems back at home. He needs an heir and the clans are beginning to fight again over 'Succession' . Ling fears a civil war. The person poisoning the clans with evil ideas is an Amestris Alchemist. He wants Xing to go to war with Amestris so he decides to cause conflict in the country. The story can focus on Ed having to travel to Xing to help keep the peace and finding out there might be a way for him to regain his alchemy skills but at a high cost. This way we can learn more about Xing and Xingese people.

I would love to see Winry and Ed travel together as a married couple. tongue.gif Ed would need Winry's help to travel through the hot desert with his auto mail.

BTW, I don't know if this is true or just a rumor, but wikipedia says a LIVE ACTION FMA film is in the works. Disney is producing and it is to be released in 2013. Jerry Bruckheimer is supposedly going to direct the film. What do you guys think about this?

In Topic: Naruto 494 Spoilers and Predictions

13 May 2010 - 04:05 AM

Full spoiler script --Click here to view--
SOURCE: MH
VERIFICATION: Confirmed
CREDITS: HisshouBuraiken

Script:
Page 1:
Motoi: None of our Jinchuuriki were ever able to gain full control of the Eight-Tails.
Back then, the Beast would go wild constantly, reducing the village to rubble.
Text: The history of the Eight-Tails, a dark period for the Hidden Cloud!

Motoi: Each time, the Third Raikage and an elite cadre of fighters would beat the Eight-Tails back.
Title: Killer Bee and Motoi

Page 2: N/A

Page 3:
Motoi: Somehow they would stop the Beast's rampage and lock it within the traditional sealing pot...

Those battles cost many good men their lives...
But even with the risks, we NEEDED the Eight-Tails to avoid being overpowered by the other villages.
So we continued experimenting, trying to find a Jinchuuriki.

One of those many victims...

Page 4:
Motoi: Was my father.

Yamato: So Bee-san killed your father...
and you-

Motoi: No, no.

Bee-san was my friend.
We were only five years old when my father died.

Page 5:
Motoi: The Jinchuuriki who killed my father
died when the Eight-Tails was pulled out of his body and resealed.

Page 6:
Motoi: He was the PREVIOUS Jinchuuriki.

Bee-san was chosen as the next Jinchuuriki almost immediately.

Page 7:
Yamato: Then why
did you try to kill him?

Motoi: I believed that no one could ever control the Eight-Tails,
that trying to would only kill more and more people.

My hatred for the Eight-Tails grew out of control.
Despite being a child, I convinced myself I had to avenge my father.

And Bee-san just kept smiling.

I grew to hate him and his constant, ignorant smile.
The object of my revenge began to change from the Eight-Tails itself to Bee-san.

Page 8:
I thought if I could kill him, the Beast would die too.

Page 9:
Motoi: I tried, and failed, to stab him in the back.
And when I failed, I ran away scared out of my mind.

I hid my face, but I'm convinced Bee-san knew it was me.
After that...I couldn't bring myself to talk to him again.

Yamato: Then what changed your opinion? Why do you repsect him so much now?

Motoi: My hatred didn't simply disappear...
I continued to watch him, keeping him under close surveillance.

But...I wasn't the only one.

The other villagers had no sympathy for Bee-san...they detested him.
It didn't matter that the govenment chose HIM to be a Jinchuuriki, and that it did so to PROTECT the village...

Page 10:
Motoi: They shunned him.
He lived a very difficult life,
and his suffering was far worse than mine.

Yamato: Why are you...
Motoi: Maybe I'm just saying this to Naruto
because he's a Jinchuuriki...instead of telling Bee-san himself.

Someday I really DO need to tell him...
I must make amends.

Naruto: *******...he's just using me...

Yamato: Where're you going, Naruto?
Naruto: I need to be alone for a while.

Page 11:
People: Hey, that's him!
Stay away from us!
Go away!

I knew you could do it!
You're our hero, Naruto!
Thank you!

Gaara: My own father tried to have me assassinated.
Even today, he wishes he could be rid of me.
So why do I exist?

People: Gaara-sama's the Kazekage, don't start talking big, you lowlife!
He's strong and elite, but cool and taciturn...

Page 12:
Naruto: Now they all have faith in Octo-dude...
The village trusted Gaara to protect them so much they made him Kazekage...

Naruto: And I've got Iruka-sensei and everyone else from my class!
Plus...

D-Naruto: After YEARS of ostracizing us...

I'm your TRUE self.
The part you hide deep inside your heart.

Naruto: I've never consciously felt like that...
but some part of me, deep inside...

Page 13:
Naruto: I'm still not sure if they really trust me...

Motoi: WAAA!

Yamato: Oww...
Motoi: ****!

Naruto: Mr. Motoi!

Yamato: Naruto, formation C!

What's wrong with you!

Page 14:
Naruto: Stop it, Octo-dude!
Mr. Motoi depends on you, too! He trusts you!

Yamato: THAT'S THE SQUID!
Naruto: Wha?!

Page 15:
Naruto: I thought he was mad I just told the truth to Octo-dude...
Yamato: He got worried and went to look for YOU when that squid attacked him!

Motoi: Agh!

Yamato: We'll talk later, let's go Naruto!
Naruto: Right!

Yamato: Wood Element, Smothering Bramble Technique! (Mokuton - Mokushibari no jutsu)

Naruto: Hang on Mr. Motoi, I'm coming to help!

Page 16:
Bee: Big 8-T is back in the sea! Here to get rid of this punkass squid!

Naruto: Octo-dude!

Motoi: Bee!

Motoi: Why did you save me...?

Page 17:
Motoi: Bee-san...you knew, didn't you...
You knew I was the one who tried to kill you!
And you still-

Bee: Say what? You did?

Motoi: Bee...you...

Text: The depth of Killer Bee's compassion forces Naruto to smile too!
