I am very grateful for this second and last season... and I do not want to complain.
But there´s something about the quick pacing that doesn´t let me taste Emma bite by bite... It´s like chewing a whole banquet out of hunger...
But I am grateful I truly am... -_-'

100 Name: Zanza : 2007-06-07 10:34 ID:ivNSZzUx [Del]

But most of the complain about the first season was that it was too slow. I mean, there's slow... right? Then there's too slow. :P I guess a hastened pace is what this series needed, considering all the drama the second season has (much more than the first one).

I haven't read the manga past volume 3, so I suppose I may be a little biased in that regard.

101 Name: zenaida : 2007-06-07 10:57 ID:R/JePcBZ [Del]

Zanza, i have to agree that the first season was... too slow. Really slow. (But i liked the pace. It was like sipping at quality wine.) But in comparison, the second season is... too fast. As in, it's a step beyond fast if you get what i mean. Think about it. 2 volumes in 12 episodes. And mind you, the 1st 2 volumes are a lot less eventful than the rest of the series. And now... 5 volumes in 12 episodes? Mathematically, it's more than twice as fast. And a lot more stuff happens in comparison. So it's actually A LOT faster. Oh, and book 7 is a lot thicker than the other volumes. This second season feels like drinking water after sprinting a long distance.
But nevertheless, i appreciate having the second season of Emma being made. Seeing Emma in colour and animation is a joy. (I had imagined Emma's dress at William's engagement party to be pink and yellow, but it turned out to be green... haha) That reminds me - when's episode 7 going to come out? (eagerly awaiting the next episode!!)

Zanza, go read the rest of the manga if you can. It's... kind of different from the anime. I find it more elegant, chaste and beautiful. The motion is slower and a lot more can be learnt through the body languages and facial expressions of the characters in the drawings.

102 Name: megumi : 2007-06-07 13:49 ID:+ijvluNj [Del]

But they seem to have changed some events in the 2nd season`s anime, right? To make some of the events flow quickly, and others to fill in the gap (like episode 6).

I dont know much about the comparison between the story sequence 1st seasons manga and anime though.

103 Name: Rexy : 2007-06-07 17:51 ID:mSVeb4m1 [Del]

I don't care that it'll be over by early July. I don't care, I don't care, I don't care. I'm just glad enough that Emma was popular and loved enough to be made into an anime. HEART <3333

104 Name: Zanza : 2007-06-07 20:17 ID:lbSvXa0a [Del]

Oh definitely, no doubt. When I finished watching the first season of Emma I was left with a hole in my freggin' soul. I needed more Emma. Heh. :)

>>101
I'm very eager to read the rest of the manga. I would read it all right now if I could, but CMX's release is a volume every 3 or 4 months. :( My copy of volume 4 ships next week from Rightstuf, hopefully! :)

Last volume of Emma? (12)

1 Name: bbmuteman : 2008-03-29 00:38 ID:JJqDGpeM [Del]

Does anyone know if or when the last volume of the bangaihen series is coming out? I'm talking about the graphic novel.

3 Name: bbmuteman : 2008-04-07 04:14 ID:JJqDGpeM [Del]

Maybe I should have been more clear. I've bought the previous 9 from Kinokuniya, and I want to know if anyone's heard any news on a tenth one.

4 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2008-04-07 10:02 ID:Heaven [Del]

All I know is Mori said she's off to England when it's out.

5 Name: bbmuteman : 2008-04-07 20:45 ID:JJqDGpeM [Del]

Oh, that's great. Does that mean she's going to be doing research for Shirley?

6 Name: !WAHa.06x36 : 2008-04-08 13:09 ID:Heaven [Del]

Latest issue of Beam says it'll be out on the 25th.

Is CMX going to release volumes 8 to 10 as well?

12 Name: bbmuteman : 2008-05-11 01:18 ID:JJqDGpeM [Del]

Actually, they said they will. Only, they're not releasing 8 until 2009. It's on the CMX question/answer section in their newsletter.

Maid in Akihabara (79)

1 Name: whispers : 2006-03-14 02:31 ID:TQEjyQOE [Del]

Move over, Densha Otoko. There's a new goddess in town!

"Maid in Akihabara" is a live-action comedy/drama starring Mako-sama, the voice actress for Yurie-sama in Kamichu. She plays Saki, a girl in dire straits that needs to find a new job, fast! As luck would have it, she finds one... in a maid cafe in Akihabara that caters to anime-crazed otaku.

Yurie's voice actress in a French maid outfit... what's not to like? But Saki undergoes culture shock as she adjusts to the moe otaku's world, making mistakes along the way, but also finding friends and discovering her SECRET MOE POWER.

"Maid in Akihabara," a six episode series, coming soon from IIchan Translation Group.

WORK HAS BEGUN.

70 Name: Non-e : 2006-08-11 09:50 ID:Fwgd44Ff [Del]

Finally managed to get around and downloaded 'Maid in Akihabara' and showed it to my housemate. Needless to say, he loved it to. Thanks again for subbing this wonderful series...

I just started d/l the episodes off of your site. KAWAII!!!!!
I think I spent 1/3 of the episode squealing over the cute outfits, 1/3 in jealousy that I couldn't look as cute in the same outfit, and 1/3 wondering where the otaku got those wonderful toys.

Bush hid the fact (2)

1 Name: Dryst : 2008-03-21 13:40 ID:C5w8Rmdr [Del]

Okay probably everyone knows that but in case you dont...

When you open notepad and you write "bush hid the facts" and you save it, you try to reopen it and it just brings some square characters. That's a funny fact but then...

...then I tried to Copy/Paste the characters in Word, and it showed this: 畢桳栠摩琠敨映捡獴

What the hell does that means?!?

I'd be glad to know it because it's funny and awkward.

2 Name: whispers : 2008-03-22 07:29 ID:KZQO8/uC [Del]

It means nothing, it's just garbage characters. There's a notepad bug in which certain combinations of characters are wrongly interpreted as Unicode.

In the interests of bipartisanship, also try "bill had ten sluts"

Molders' Estate (22)

13 Name: Tri-ring : 2007-06-07 20:32 ID:mD2tgVYy [Del]

I just got the greatest idea as a theme for this party.
The objective is as I have posted earlier, to promote the video and manga of Victorian Romance Emma as a world premier but this is so commercial driven for us to connect so I propose a theme to make this special event more appealing.

Although the manga ended with a happy ending I think it still misses one last grand ceremony. So to commemorate the ending of this story why don't all the fans join up to celebrate this one last event.

I coordially invite all to Mr.William Jounes and Ms.Emma's wedding ceremony to be held at the Molder's estate.

How is this? LOL

14 Name: kimmay : 2007-06-07 22:38 ID:9V8FjZAd [Del]

Thats such a great idea! haha We would have to look like alike contest for William and Emma the winners will recreate our dream wedding for them... hahaha And for the rest of us we will be attendents at the wedding :p

17 Name: Tri-ring : 2007-06-08 05:19 ID:mD2tgVYy [Del]

>>16

I don't know if I am NUTS but I know of a similar event that actually occured in Japan.
The manga based anime called "Ashita no Joe" a story about a professional boxer aiming for the world title.
He had a long time rival named Rikishi and they bout for the Japan title. The fight was brutal and at the end after a gruel match Rikishi pasted away on the ring.
This became an overnight sensation for all fans in Japan and a memorial service with ten counts and all, was held with more than 5000 people attending. This is still talked about as the greatest publicity event related to manga in Japan.

18 Name: Tri-ring : 2007-06-08 07:58 ID:mD2tgVYy [Del]

Oh, this event occured in the early '70s when there was no such thing as cosplay and yet all participant came in formal black attire with black arm band to pay their last respect to Rikishi.

It's been mentioned earlier, but I'd like to see the Whisper's notes for the last three episodes. It certainly doesn't breach any copyright, and it is unlikely (no matter how good the company) that a similar thing will be included in the boxsets.

Although I'm worried about their date of 2012 for the second act...is this just a placeholder date?

>>30 Let me see if I remember correctly, chapters 12 and 13 are about the cast of the opera "Il barbiere di Siviglia". Chapter 14 I belive, is a serie of 4-koma, about Tasha, Adele, Hans, Grace, Colin and Stevens. Chapter 15 or 16 is abouth Arthur at How... sorry, Eaton. Chapter 17 is about the Molders family and servants as well as Emma and Aurelia traveling to the Jounes' state for the wedding. Chapter 18 is the actual wedding ceremony. I'm missing one chapter but I can't remember it.

36 Name: Servidor : 2008-02-22 12:12 ID:aIpOxod5 [Del]

I now remember the chapter I was missing. It is about how Adele and Maria met while they were still at Germany. Alma appears at the end of the chapter, she was not still promoted to house maid.
