I really couldn't resist. This figure of Okumura Rin is simply too beautiful, it's a 1/8 scale figure, and most of all, it has Kuro on it together with Rin!!! <3 <3 <3

Ooh, nice! Kuro<3

[eternal_rena]

Kuro!!! <3 <3 <3

Incidentally, this is not the first AnE merch I have. I have in my possession which I just got at the beginning of the month (which was released in Aug) a keychain plush of Kuro released by Banpresto :D

I didn't know you read/watch Ao no Exorcist :o

[hikari318]

Aww nice<3

Haha, watched the anime last year, got hooked. Though the second half was weird, so I decided to get the manga too since it's being localized here. As expected, I like the manga-only chapter much better than the anime-only part XD
Can't wait for vol.9 (November... ;_;)

I personally hated the anime and the direction it went in the end. I was going "What the hell" literally when it deviated from the manga right until the end of it and I started off AnE with the manga

[hikari318]

Hahaha, well, I was being mild in case you liked it, but yeah, the direction it took after the deviation was terrible. The art, music and voices were pretty good though. But the manga is soooo much better!

No, I don't get the jp volumes. Could order them online, but what's the point when it's coming out here in my mother tongue XD
Plus, the French translation is stellar. And they often add little extras. And the material quality of the volumes is great. I've fallen in love with this editor<3

lol fail scanlations. Some people don't care about quality... Well, supporting localizations is good! (not for the wallet tho lol but no choice)

[eternal_rena]

Haha, don't worry. The anime sucks, period. I was actually expecting better =/ At least the art and voices were a plus point (and Rin's VA is going to be Ogami's VA for the Code:Breaker anime O-o)

For myself, I still read scanlations, but only because I don't have a bazillion $$$ to spend on randomly buying manga, so they're always good for me to see what the story is about. And I buy the Jap vols of manga that I really, really, really like...to support the author haha.

[hikari318]

Haha yeah, I should probably do that more often lol. Sometimes I just buy manga because the cover looks nice. Not very smart of me... But I don't like reading on the computer, so... Usually now I discover new stuff through the anime, and if I like it enough (Kimi ni Todoke, Natsume Yuujinchou<3) or want to see the original because the anime went weird after the deviation (Kuroshitsuji, AoEx...), I get the manga. Whoever's editing it plays into it too. For example, I wanted to get the Gosick manga, but I loathe Soleil (bad translations and high prices, no thanks), so I can do without. Anything Kazé or Ki-oon is always welcome though<3 Yay for good editors~
