Your Recent Manga Purchases

[Sgt Phantomizer]

Forget about buying them, unless you're ok with bootlegs or can afford a couple hundred bucks...i wanted to buy them, but was smacked by someone else on the matter when i asked the stupid question of "this one is brand new, is it a bootleg?". The english dub should be easier to find though, but still probably a bit expensive.

If you're interested in watching the english dub and have trouble finding it online or something, i have all episodes on my computer and i bet we can figure out how to get them to you, upload somewhere or something

Well... alright then, so much for buying them. :3

I imagine that that would be a very large chunk of memory though... O_o Also, your wink fills me with worry.

Well, first off, this is a safe site, right? No crappy ads trying to install stuff on your computer, no need to download nothing, no hidden malware?

Of course! That's just the main site that holds the torrent tracker. I mean, you can use a torrent aggregator to find their subs, but this way is easier in listing them all. I've downloaded torrents for YEARS without an issue, and from them as well, no problem! I haven't had any computer issues either in years, thanks to Firefox, Noscript, and AVG.

[Dusty Starr]

So now wait, do I have to download the episodes, or do I watch them on site? I have not checked the site just yet, because I am a little paranoid about these sorta things. X3

Still, I imagine my browsing will be nicer once I also get Firefox, adblockerplus, noscript, web of trust, and possibly other add ons. :3

You just need to download a Torrent client like uTorrent. Install. Click link (hoping there is a number of seeder on the list). Then, you can watch the download progress on the torrent client (which will start automatically when you click and download the torrent). You can also adjust the options in Torrent, like if you don't want as many people uploading from you, etc.

...I don't know what a torrent or a torrent client is. ^_^;;

I'm not sure why a smiley would worry you, but let me elaborate a little.

The episodes i have comprise the entire 4 seasons of the Sailor Moon dub which i downloaded last year. As i mentioned, if you want to, i'm willing to try and see about getting them to you somehow, upload them someplace or something for example. As for the size, yes...it is a sizable chunk, probably some 30+ GBs.

It's up to you, if you don't feel comfortable with it, that's perfectly fine. You can do your own research on buying it too, i was just sharing my own experience when i had that great and brilliant idea of buying the anime and then all hopes were dashed :P

Ummm.....yeah, i was in that very same boat that you are on right now just a mere year ago or so. Let me see if i can help, sorry if i end up confusing you more...i tend to do that a lot when i try to explain something

A torrent is not much different then a file uploaded on a hosting website somewhere. The difference with a torrent is that you have Leechers and Seeders, the former are people downloading the file and the latter are people hosting it. Generally speaking, more seeders = faster downloads, no seeders = tough luck, no downloading anytime soon...same can happen if there are too many leechers and not many seeders. To download a torrent, you need a torrent client, like the one Terro mentioned. With that installed on your PC and ready, you can either search for a torrent for what you want to download, or click on the download torrent link from somewhere that lists a torrent for what you want (like a website for example).

You have to be careful what you download though, as you run the risk of getting a virus or some other nasties on your PC. It's a good idea to check the rating of the torrent, if one is available before downloading and then scanning for any virsuses, trojans, etc whatever you download with your virus scanner of choice.

Sorry, it is just me I am sure, but when it comes to winking smileys, I usually associate them with a bit of naughtiness. I think it comes from some online roleplaying I used to do way back in the day. So, sorry for bringing it up, I suppose. X3

And thank you for the offer. :3 I will think on it. I still have some things that I need to take care of on the new computer, but I will keep your offer in mind, and for now, I think that I will start test reading Sailor Moon V if I can. If I do decide to take you up, I remembered that the new comp has a 1TB hard drive, so, it should be fine. :3

Also, thank you again for explaining that to me Phanny. X3 I think that I get it, though I am not a hundred percent certain if I do, or, certain if I trust this sort of thing. Now, I know that most people have fine experiences with this sort of thing, but every time I have been involved with something like it (more form my brother), it leads to nasty infections. I also do not want to open the door of him thinking it is okay to return to his pirating movie habits (which did serious damamge to the old computer, and that was with a security system).

But anyways, thank you both for all the info. :3 It was definitely helpful.

Oh! One last question, for old time's sake: The manga is not censored in any way like the english show, right? :3

Bought all the released English volumes of Dorohedoro.

It's from Q Hayashida, who did the manga that the Dreamcast game Maken X was based on, and more recently contributed to Shadows of the Damned's monster designs. The story is forgettable, convoluted fare revolving around the protagonist's amnesia, that's mostly an excuse for ultraviolent silliness. But the art and character designs are truly stunning, like the guy with a mask shaped like a realistic heart. The world is clearly inspired by cyberpunk stuff like Akira and Battle Angel Alita, but there isn't actually anything "cyber" about it, as the characters rely far more on magic than technology. Magepunk? Just like Maken X, it would all be a great template for a video game.

Also, the main character is a lizardman with a human face in his throat, and I have to give it some props for that.
