And to think I'm only on episode 11 of Jigoku Shoujo...

Argh I'm only missing episodes 12-16...the rest're already done...Argh TORRENTS....ARGH

Anyways as for Ouran, the episode I enjoyed preferrably would be the one where they visited Haruhi's House, and probably the last few episodes, especially can kickings and friends.....it's most interestingly weird how someone can be taught into that kind of face.

EDIT= Hooray for Enma Ai! There's a second season coming soon! Weee!

I finally completed Dling Jigoku Shoujo, and watched it till eps 15.

And I had to say something about this funny bit...especially Grin, if you're seeing this, reply and say something, so that it'd at least get the others a wee bit interested.

I've enjoyed the mental tortures placed upon both the victim and the people that were revenged upon. But eps 15 finally shown one which got sent to hell without any terror in her heart, nor regret...

"If you keep yourself contained like that, you'll have no where to escape to."

Is this a possible feat to attain? to have nowhere to escape to due to seclusion...it's almost as interesting as life itself Blue_PDT_01_01

If one is able to gain such acknowledgement unto him/herself, one might just be able to do anything he/she wants without fears...hey wait, that sounds like North Korea 3 weeks ago!

"If you keep yourself contained like that, you'll have no where to escape to." or as Shinsen translated it, "When you shut yourself in, you'll lose the way out." He was referring to the Aunt's insanity. She didn't go to hell without terror or regret, she was already there and wasn't even aware that she was being taken there. She had finally snapped and had withdrawn into her own private hell and could no longer pretend to be a normal, sane person. Notice that there was no torment for her on this boat ride other than what was already going on in her own mind. This episode was obviously a bit of a rip off of Hitchcock's Psycho.

The episodes that really get me are the ones where the object of the vengance is someone who has done nothing wrong, particularly episode 23. These are the ones where the one seeking vengance is the evil one who is allowed to commit this injustice.

This show throws in plot twists to keep it from getting bogged down. It starts out with just Emma and her fellows contracting with a new client each episode. When that starts to get old they throw in the reporter who begins investigating them. Then, in order to give him the info he needs to be able to follow these otherworldly beings, they give him a psychic daughter to give him leads. It continues like this, eventually telling you Emma's story and adding more twists. Even though these twists are sometimes clumsily and transparently done, they keep the show interesting and well worth watching.

You've convinced me to put it on my list.

Hopefully I will be less behind when the new unlimited internet plan arrives.

Don't worry, I'm thinking of doing postal delivery services for you guys, it's so much simpler, though I don't think it's too safe...especially with Postal Thieves nowadays....still, wanna give it a try? Of course nothing personal will be placed here.

That sounds interesting, jjjynx. What did you have in mind? Sounds like a charity for the bandwidth impaired.

Did you see that they have started a second season of Jigoku Shoujo?

Yes I did. I already cheered for Enma Ai, haven't I?

And I'm fine with giving away free discs anyways, I stock in monthly, and since CDs ain't that heavy, I doubt postal charges would be expensive either. A few Dollars wouldn't hurt anyways, and you're all my friends, it's not like I'm doing this for outsiders who enjoys leeching and flaming so very often.

As for your post on our dear insane Aunt a few post up...imagine this, wouldn't it be wonderful if we could just turn terror and sadness into insanity, since it didn't seem to disrupt daily self sufficiency, so it wouldn't really matter at all as long as you live, since all it pretty much did for her was create another hobby, talking to skeletons.

Or perhaps, does insanity includes turning everything into laughing matter, even dispair?

Good idea, I'll do it too. The problem is catching these guys logged in so you can pm snail-mail addresses. I'd be very uncomfortable posting them in the open.

We may also run into problems with hardware incompatabilities with regional bullshirt and whatnot. I've even heard that there are burners that will only read official disks and stuff that it has burned.

Ave? I thought it's the same no matter all you go, after all, they're all compact discs?

Hungry Mongoose · Posted: Wed Oct 25, 2006 10:48 am Post subject:

I've never encountered regional restrictions on CDs, especially not copied ones. Unless you have some kind of crappy copyright protection software on your computer, I don't see something like that happening.

Though it does seem an awful lot of trouble sending physical copies. CDs might not be heavy, but how many are you thinking of sending?

The only issue I can see is if the customs services have a problem with it, but I've been sent CDs from overseas several times before and haven't had any problems.

jjjynx · Posted: Wed Oct 25, 2006 4:24 pm Post subject:

looking at size it'd probably just cost 2-8 dollars for 1 series of 26 episodes, for around, let's see...9-15 discs? It's just the part that ostal thieves out there requires registered mail, that's the part that gets tricky, though I don't think it'd be of any problems, since it's just CDs...or are there?

You see, we are not pirates...we're just legally copying illegal things.
