I thought Suzuka manga had a little Too much Fanservice, but I read Vol.2 recently and it got really interesting especially in the end of vol.2. I Think you should try reading it again.

I just saw Linda Linda Linda at Fanime, and I absolutely adored it. I've had the soundtrack on repeat since I saw it, and it was just...such a great, heartfelt, wonderful movie. I may just have to buy the movie at Anime Expo.
Interestingly enough, the concert in episode 12 of Haruhi is based off the concert at the end of Linda Linda Linda. |

Suzuka is probably one of the best romance/drama properties that exists in a very well-defined genre. What I mean is, Suzuka isn't going to offer anything new, but it excels in telling a good story using traits of the genre. Likeable characters, fantastic dub, and absurdly excellent pacing are huge ++'s for the anime.
But I'm reminded of a favorite quote of mine.... "There's no such thing as too much Fanservice"

I feel absoultely pathetic after looking at that collection, I would only hope that the owner of it has on massive insurance policy on all of it. I know that this has been asked before but has anyone seen a collection that is larger than the one shown here?

A few things I'd like to note about this wonderful edition of the shelf life.
Beware in LA/Long Beach the cops seem to love to give tickets for any reason, they don't have anything to do and giving people chicken crap tickets is how they fill their days.
Production I.G. really has done a great job with creating their own story and adding their own little elements while seamlessly blending it in with the historical accounts. It's quite an accomplishment, and I wasn't sure if I.G. could actually do it considering the all the different characters that eventually do become a part of this story.
It's certainly the best release this year even with Bandai Visual releasing all those other titles. I just hope more folks are checking out this title seeing as how Best Buy had the first volume for $10 a while back. Great article as always, the shelf obsessed portion was quite impressive to say the least. |

Hmmm... I'd want an actual disc count before I'd swear to it, but I think I have him beat. I see empty spaces on his shelves, and boxes displayed with the wide side out. It's a LOT of DVDs, but I'm not sure it's bigger then mine. And unless there's more manga hidden somewhere I can't see in those pictures, I've definitely got him beat there. I really need to clean up enough to make my collection properly photogenic... |

The Diagrams were awesome, thanks for that. lol.
I have yet to pick up any more of Chevalier- its not the shows fault just money woes. Oh ok good- those all aren't dvd pics. Be careful with those stacked boxest- they look a bit unstable. Why did tenchi cost $800? Just...someone tell me why. Did Tenchi himself come with it? Looking at this makes me realize how cool it would be to thin-pak some of my dvds. if I can ever find a shelf with three blocks across like your i'd surely do that. Surely this person buys their dvds when they're on some type of sale and not outright.
You can do that? <---is a 20 year old kid who doesn't really know about insurance or anything. Her parents take care of it. 
I know for me I buy 10 or 20 volumes of manga at a time when I can find the $5 manga guy at Comic Con- so manga is the only place I could probably beat him. But alas- like you my shelves are...not so neat. Last edited by britannicamoore on Mon Jun 18, 2007 3:33 pm; edited 1 time in total |

;___; Apparently. They're making me go to court for it. Really, any violation in which you can get pulled over by a guy on a bike-- is ultimately going to be ridiculous. |

Good lord...and I thought my collection was big. This is one hell of a back hand to my ego.

I really don't have anything to add. But I would like to say it was a really good read, and Shelf Life is awesome. Always look forward to it.
Oh and sorry for the bike cops  We have those in our city too, longside golf cart cops. So I can relate to your pain. It is an easy situation to make fun of, but truth is they can hide in places where you least expect them.

I actually liked Suzuka's tagline of “Love is not a spectator sport.” It's pretty true in that too many people just wait for love to happen without realizing they have to put some effort into it themselves. Plus it fits well with the theme of the series. ^^

At least he didn't handcuff you and put you in the basket and haul you off to jail.
Well are you saying that Disney is lying? According to them I am going to fall in love with a beautiful princess without leaving the house. In fact women are actually going to come to my house and beg me to marry them. |

Um, you're a little confused, there, Bamboo. It's Anaheim which is the ghetto, especially when you consider the room where they had the dance last year. 
Also, Linda Linda Linda is ok, but not really that great, unless you want to see some boring and (occasionally) unlikely teen subplots. |

Are you a little lost GATSU? Anaheim with Disneyland, the Angels, and the Stanley Cup Champion Ducks is much better place then the long beach bum center. |
