Great. We tell the n00bs it's bad to double post, so then they spazz out every time someone's computer messes up and sends the post twice. We just can't win, can we? Seriously. If it's the same post twice in a row, and there's not even a minute between the two posts, is it THAT hard to figure out that it was an accident and just let it go?
And no, I'm afraid I didn't take any PLAN test... my school seriously can't decide on one standardized test. It was the "Terra Novas" Freshman year, then last year we had the "NJ Pass" (which I swear they must have made up themselves) and then we've got the "HSPA" (which everyone calls the 'hespa'... it's weird)...
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate." Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

I have no idea what this PLAN test is, but I see from your post, Gar, that you were just wandering away anyway.
We have standardized tests! The HSAs. Which everyone has to pass, hip hip hooray. Not that they're hard or anything....

I've been watching Death Note, and let me tell you, it's one of the best animes i have ever seen. I'm on episode 15, and the plot is just fantastic. Thank you [adult swim]! It's too bad they only have up to episode 14 on youtube though....

It was lonely... you promised you'd write to me, but you never did... the months passed by, and I still thought of you every day, but you never called. I never got any letters from you.
So eventually, I started to lose faith... I thought you had been killed in that terrible, terrible war. Or maybe that you had forgotten about me. It's been so long, you probably found another girl over there... I never stopped loving you, but I didn't think you cared about me anymore, so welcoming you back just would have been too painful for me... I'm sorry. I'm glad you've come back home *sniff*

DN is amazing! Well, up to episode 26, in my opinion after that is just some weird epilogue of the other part of the series. But yeah, I really hope they didn't kill Ryuk's voice in the dubbed version. L sounded really good actually...

The dubbed version aired on Saturday, and I think it's still up on the Adult Swim website... Ryuk's voice was most certainly not killed. Brian Drummond is the only VA in the dub that I'm even somewhat familiar with, and he's the best. I say this mostly because he was Tiger in Monster Rancher, but also partly because he was responsible for the famous "OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAND!"
...Yes, I'm completely serious.
Heh, I'll agree that it just wasn't the same after episode 26, but... I did kinda like a certain two characters that didn't appear until after that episode. Even if they were wanna-bes, they weren't so bad. Though their seiyuu couldn't compare to that other character's. Speaking of seiyuu, Shido! Shido is the BEST and he didn't show up until after 26! His Voice Actor was Kazuki Yao - Franky, Jango, AND Bon Clay in One Piece. They better get someone like Scott McNeil to play him in the dub - it's the only way he could be done justice.

Hi! I really need to watch Death Note sometime soon. See, I read the first chapter of the manga when it was first being released and it didn't catch my interest. I basically figured, there isn't much they can do with this, the main character is just too powerful (nearly insta kill anyone who opposes him). Plus I didn't like his personality much. However, after hearing a bit more from a friend of mine, I decided I'd read the entire first graphic novel sometime and give it another chance. But I never got around to it and now that there's an anime out I think I'll just watch that instead. Maybe after I finish R.O.D.
NOOOOOO!!!! Youtube took away my one piece! now I can only watch exerpts of the episodes, and thats not the same! *weeps*
I can't beleave I'm saying this, but I hate FUNimation. So very much. Their the ones who did the copyright claim!
"Dobby never meant to kill, only to...maim. Or seriously injure."
Heso! Yeah, FUNi doesn't like it when people watch stuff that they have the liscence to unless they do it, well, legally. I mean, the other dubbing companies are the same way, except they're more clueless. FUNimation has this tendency to actually LISTEN to the fans. Which is actually why Sanji's cigarette is cmpletely gone. CN said they couldn't keep it, so it was either they leave the lollipop or remove it completely. The fans said, "OH GOD I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANOTHER LOLLIPOP AS LONG AS I LIVE" so now it's gone.
You should still be able to find most of it on Veoh. Who, by the way, no longer require you to download episodes. They stopped doing that because the Naruto fans were cussing off at them for it.

Heso! Well, it makes sense - a lot of fans of DN stopped watching after episode 25. Or was it 26? Probably 25 if that's as far as it goes on veoh. If you've seen that far, you'd know what I'm talking about...
