Pri * Pri!

i never thought that I would be the one making this post but i did so there nya!

anyway Princess Princess is a great anime that i have suprisingly fallen for. i rarely get uber worked up about an anime/manga but this ne is awesome.

yea so im bored and now i feel gay for liking it but who cares!

Hooray, someone else likes Princess Princess! I was wondering about your icon.

I never saw the entire series but I buy the DVDs whenever I have extra money (that, you know, isn't being spent toward manga and other important items).

yea i know neko/kitsune/candace/hanna/a bunch of other people are curently engrosed in the manga, thier newest monthly swing.

While the manga is longer and probably elaborates more than the anime does, the anime is so freaking pretty that I have I have to watch it. I mean, just look at the hair colors! Pastels! Damn marketing, playing it up...

So, aside from that rant, have you finished the manga/anime Yoshi?

nope, im reading it in hard copy, one manga and bleach exile both don't have it

i just finished book two, waiting till i see candace again to get 3

do you watch the anime online? where do you go?

I'm kind of against watching licensed anime online, so I buy the discs. I used to get them cheap at FYE, but I hear that they're closing, so...

If you really want to get the anime, they have a cheap boxset. But, I'm extremely cheap, so I've never bought it. Maybe I should rent the discs from Netflix...

As for online scans of the manga, not to encourage illegal activity or anything, but have you checked Manga Fox? They tend to have series that Onemanga doesn't (while also being on the same update schedule for series they share with Onemanga).

i wish that i could buy them, but alas my wallet is more full of cobwebs than bills....

but that netflix idea is great, i wonder a subscription really costs, that 12.99 Bull S**t must be for like the first month with a 5 year plan or something....

BTW manga fox doesn't have it either

Hmmm, I mooch a Netflix account off my mom, and my brother has one too (though since he doesn't use it, I've taken over) so we get three DVDs and that equals to $16.99. I imagine a single account would be much cheaper. If you choose to get one, however, it is very convenient.

I guess no one is interested in scanning the Princess Princess manga. I run into problems like this, like the fact that no one is scanning the Alichino manga past vol. 3 even though it's been discontinued here. There's like six volumes in Japan, too.

Bah, online manga sites aren't all they're cracked up to be.

yeah, i was really excited about watching that too, being as Neko is so into it i figured i'd love to read it as well.

but alas, Rightstuf let me down for legit purchase and animecrazy hasn't pirated it, so i'm kinda SOL.

i'm a bit down now, guess its all down to google...

If you are so inclined I can loan out the first two discs to you. I mean, I don't really watch them anymore (or at the moment).

Finals are over, see my brain float free to heaven.

onemanga has princess princess....im pretty sure it does anyway. cant imagine it doesnt.

as for watching it you can go to ovguide.com
crunchyroll.com
boxtorrents.com <---downloads
um...
you can find some of the anime on youtube.

there are only like 17 [or something like that] episodes and 5 books. the ending made me tear up a little -sniffle-
tohru! i still love you and you'll always be a princess in my mind!!!
by the way i didnt hint on anything. no spoilers in that last statement. sai and i just enjoy tohru x yuujiro. of course akira-kun is welcome to join us whenever he wants <3

umm..... sakamoto-sama no likeee yaoi.... tho all of the guys are like in love with him....

ha, akira is to nice to ever say no! >=D

Two words: Book Five. Or, maybe a number and a word. Book 5. Hmm....

i found it on Google videos.

yeah, i can see what all the fervor is over, it is actually a pretty good series so far [i'm only up to episode 3 currently] i can identify with the 3 main characters quite easily, which to me means its well written. they all seem quite human.

though i must say they kinda make um, interesting looking women. to me they all look like Queens, which admittedly they are described as, in that they may be pretty boys but they do have masculine faces, so they all look like 30 year old women when they are dressed as princesses.

and man is Arisada creepy, he really has a "i will rape you in your sleep and murder you, but not in that order" look to him, i'd run for the hills if that guy told me to dress in drag. Sakamoto seems like he's probably paired with him a lot by fans, i mean just seeing them in a scene together i can't imagine any other outcome than Sakamoto getting it. Mikoto also seems like an easy target, i can imagine either Toru or Yuujiro taking him. Mikoto just kinda scream "uke."

oh listen to me, i just watched 3 episodes and already i'm ranting on about it! -^_^-

enh, wouldn't expect anything else from myself.

you basically hit the nail on the head, jdeko.
arisada is a sadistic, tamaki kyoya crack baby bitch. but hes actually hotter in the manga....he looks more like tamaki in the manga. and he was randomly wearing glasses at one point so thats why we started calling him tamaki and kyoyas crack baby. i hate his voice in the anime XP

sakamoto (aka akira) is the nice guy everyone loves....to molest. (its more obvious in book 5)

mikoto is the uke of uke's. hell he's even uke to sakamoto.
out of the princesses sai and i agree yuujiro is the most seme like, doesnt mean he and tohru cant take turns <3

the manga is also better because thay actually look like guys. in the anime they magically grow boobs (if you look closely you'll see it!!!) when they're in drag.
but for some reason in the manga tohru's hair likes to change colors. its suppose to be black or blue, but it chages to green alot and even grey at one point o.O

ah, i missed Sakamoto's first name, Akira huh? well that makes things easier for me being as i also started watching Strike Witches and there is a character named Sakamoto in there too, so this way my brain doesn't have to work so hard on new character names and faces.

i think Toru is more seme than yuujiro, toru is very calm and balanced at most times at heart, even if he wierds out on the surface, i think yuujiro is a fake seme like me, he puts up resistance so that when someone can pass his guard they've built up momentum.

i think yuujiro would rape toru, but i think toru would be the boy in consensual sex.

though thats just my theory being a third through the series, yuujiro might get seme-er later.

hair colors in manga are wierd, i swear rinslet from black cat has had several hair colors and everyone has black hair in the yu yu hakusho manga.

manga is a bad place for colors.

Yeah, especially with Arina Tenemura. I thought Maora and the Postman were the same person, so why do their eye and hair colors change so much?

And you've watched Strike Witches? Is it any good? I'm considering viewing it, but moe series are a little hit-and-miss for me...

haha people like making sasori's hair change colors. its been like almost every color.
i was joking around with kitsune "they should just make his hair rainbow and get it over with. you know they want to!"

eh, i guess tohru/yuujiro seme is debatable. i do think you should finish watching or reading the series though JDeko ;3

i look at tohru and yuujiro's relationship. how they interact with each other and such. yuujiro kinda does seem like that emo character who acts tough but really isnt, but he kind of isnt like that.
hm...im not making much sense here.
yuujiro is more outgoing than tohru. how about that? hes more bold.
...
eh screw it, it doesnt matter. these are my opinions and im sticking to them -3- my to-chan agrees with me that im seme so im good.

and as long as everyone agree's mikoto is uke of uke's i have nothing to complain about ^_^

yeah Neko, its really between you and your uke who gets to be who. i'm so tempted to go into a self deprecating "*sob* you're so lucky to have found your perfect match!*sob*" rant, but i think that was enough. -^_^-

yeah, i noticed that too with Maora cuz i kinda wanted to cosplay as him but since his hair and eyes shift colors so often i'm tempted not to.

yeah, i'm watching an ep of princess princess a day so i'll be done in a week or so. i still think that Toru [i've never seen it Tohru, i've only seen his name spelled Toru or Tooru, mostly with two o's] is the more mature of the two, so would win out in a relationship, but yeah Yuujiro is more the classic seme, i can imagine him being the physical aggressor.

Akira's eyes are kinda scary, to me his eyes look like the one's normally used when a character goes insane and usually then starts murdering people. his eyes are usually wider than his iris's and combined with his usually surprised face gives me the vibe of "you're not really *insert name here*, are you? *insert name here* would never say that! YOU'RE AN IMPOSTOR! A FAKE! and fakes NEED TO DIIIIIIIIIIE!!!!!!" the character designs remind me of Gundam SEED so he reminds me of Muruta Azrael.

yeah, strike witches is a pretty good series, all the characters are well developed and charming and the action scenes are great! really the fighting is like GunBuster meets UC Gundam!

its fun to watch those two series [strike witches and pri pri] at the same time. going from girls in school swimsuits shooting aliens with WWII era guns then watching bishies dress as girls, and especially the ending song animation which is fanservice-liscious with all its near-naked boy jail-bait. yeah, dichotomy is fun!

Holy s*** you know what Gentleman's Alliance is! And I thought I was the only one *sobs*! Okay, enough of that.

Thank you for the review of Strike Witches, I now have a new series to watch! I love the ending of Princess Princess (and not just for the fanservice! The song is catchy too!)

I imagine Yuujiro as a seme too, I think it's just the way he acts. Actually, they made a joke about that in the last volume.

yeah, Yuujiro is way more the seme.

the ending is really beautiful and i like the close up shots of their mouths singing. but is also one of the fanservice-y things i've ever seen, i feel a little wrong while i'm watching it. then i just remind myself that i'm also watching Strike Witches so that kinda evens it out in the end.

i really like Gentlemen's Alliance, its very well written and cute. Maora has always been my favorite character in there, so his hair changing colors kinda irks me. i think it'd be fun to dress up as him cross-dressing but the whole hair thing throws me off. [though it'd probably chicken out or just give up on the costume anyway]

i need to look Strike Witches up on the interwebs, i was watching it with my bro but we stopped two weeks ago after episode 4, so i think its up to me to watch it on my own!

i'll probably start up next week after i finish princess princess. it shall be my new anime i watch!

I'm so happy you like Gentleman's Alliance, it needs more attention then it gets. Seriously though, what's up with Maora's hair? (Though he's my favorite character too).

Well, I'm a girl, so I like the Princess Princess ending. The DearS ending makes me feel wrong watching it (wait, doesn't the whole anime?) The Princess anime looks so high quality...

How many episodes of Strike Witches are there, anyway? I heard it was really popular in Japan, too.

i think Strike Witches has 12 episodes, just like Princess Princess.

the ending to Princess Princess makes me think of DNAngel now that i think of it, a more homo-erotic DNAngel.

i feel wierd because i can't believe i like this series, i keep trying to fool myself into thinking it was ever intended for straight males in the slightest, then the ending reminds me, nope its not!

i love it though, its very pretty and seeing all that under-aged boyness is funny, i'm not creeped out or distrurbed, just caught off gaurd by what i'm actually watching. i suprise myself.

you two would say gentlemens allience is good? ill try to pick up the first book. i always look at it but i never read it.

the ending to princess princess in the manga was pretty dramatic too. i havent seen the anime ending yet...i need to.
i was so sad though when i was reading the 5th book, i started crying!
but one thing i dont like...
WHY IS YUUJIRO BEING ESCORTED BY THAT TAMAKI CRACK BABY ARISADA?!
ewwwwwieww!

sorry, not a big arisada fan ;p
lucky tooru gets akira-kun. though i do feel more sorry for mikoto. he got that one guy who likes to molest akira...
