DigiCharat? Eh, I don't know anything about this anime.

I have seen the japanese version of Suikoden III but it is in japanese!!! I can't find the translated version. But isn't it similar to the game story? I'm not too sure.

I just bought the entire set of Full Moon wo sagashite and it costs me approx. US$64
Well, I guess it is cheaper than what you can get in US.

65? u would pay that for 15 eps! ^^ (or 12)

Yeah, the manga is Suikoden III - and according to the reviews the first volume is about the stories of each character prior to the game. Like it has the battle that made Chris famoust, how Hugo met that gryffin, and so on. The book is translated in English now. (by tokyopop)

Di Gi Charat is funny and wako, each episode is 5min long ^^

I heard there might be a 2nd season of Fruits Basket. It could be a rumour though.

I better look around for the cheaper version of Suikoden III (best if it is translated to chinese, need to brush up my chinese...haven't been learning that since my high school) TokyoPop is far too expensive...US$9.90...I can buy lot more manga with that...perhaps 3 volumes :P

They taking too long to release 1 volume..3 months???????????
They release really fast in Chinese language though.... Too bad I can't read chinese. :-?

Ohhhh I do hope they will have a 2nd season of Fruits Basket... It's sooo good. :)

Good thing, it is in chinese and definitely cheaper than TokyoPop.

Mint, yes there are different type of chinese. The traditional chinese is being used in Taiwan/HK and I'm not too sure if China uses that as well. The simplified version is the newer one since the traditional chinese contains too much strokes and is relatively harder to write. (You are bound to miss a few strokes that leads you to another word).
And as far as I know, Singapore uses simplified chinese.
So if I read the OotP in traditional chinese, I'll faint (well, simplified chinese too)

The orginal opening song of Fruits Basket is also nice. Too bad the singer died this year.

You know, japanese seiyuu (voiceactor) can sound young even though he/she is over 30.

Okazaki Ritsuko, the singer and songwriter of the Fruits Basket anime opening and ending theme songs was 44 at the time of death. She died this May due to septic shock.

If you want to know about Fruits Basket, you can check out this site.
http://www.geocities.com/ai_no_hyde/Fruits_Basket.html

Let me see....
Vandread - though it has mecha & outer-space theme, it is pretty funny when you see 150 females and 3 males that has been separated from the different gender for 150 years, come together to overcome a shocking fate. A Gonzo production, so its visual effect is pretty good.
