I am personally really enjoying M.A.R.and I found out I'll be able to enjoy it for a while. It has over 100 episodes. But now to what I was wanting to talk about, last weeks M.A.R. I found out that Babbo's first version has spoiler[two transformations]and I never knew that. If I had started watching M.A.R. before Naruto I think I would like M.A.R. better.I thought that this post could become a general post about M.A.R. because I'm getting tired of being the only one about starting a post about M.A.R. Personally I don't have to much to say but now that there's a post the show People won't need to worry about creating a post of their own.

I think it's great to have M.A.R. the way that they set it up with how when they first showed it because seeings how they skipped episodes when they first showed it you understood what was going on. I admit at first it was annoying but now their doing it in order where I now understand why they set it up the way that they did. And now I can't wait to see the episode where Ginta spoiler[creates Babbo version three (Gargoyle)] I swear M.A.R. gets more interesting each episode. So that's why I kind of think it would be somewhat cool if they would do with M.A.R. like how they do with Naruto where you get to see the episode from last week. I was wondering if you guys agree with what I just wrote.

Spike Spencer obviously makes it the best show currently airing on Cartoon Network. Okay, the story and such is good too; though I wish it had less episodes, 50 maximum.

That episode is about 2-3 weeks away I think. And the last ep they showed, with the tournament is like 6-8 weeks away I think. It's a pretty fun show overall, although I stopped watching it after a certain point (but I did read the manga to the finsh so I know how it works out). I really love Anzai-san's work, although I think Flame of Recca was a bit better.

Since like I said I don't want to keep recreating threads about M.A.R. I am writing on this thread again.

I just realized this today but when I went to Best Buy I found out there was the first volume of M.A.R. out for only 14.99$ which I thought was pretty cheap since it was a brand new anime. Anyways does anyone know if their going to keep the fanastic four show on because last week when it premiered M.A.R. and Prince of Tennis wasn't on. My sattelite schedule is sometimes wrong where it doesn't say the correct shows that will be on. According to the sattelite there will not be M.A.R. or Prince of Tennis again which would make it what a month without those shows. All I was wondering is if they'll be on or not. I've already went through 6 different schedules and they weren't up to date so just tell me if M.A.R. or Prince of Tennis will be.
Thanks

Alright I don't care if anyone thinks I'm over reacting now because if you include this weekend that will make a month and a 1/2 without any M.A.R. so I have waited for a long time now and I want to see M.A.R. Also to be honest this fantastic 4 show sucks. This weekend it also seems that from the toonami shedule http://www.toonzone.net/schedule/index.php?networkDate=1180670400&browseNetworkID=13 doesn't show Yugioh GX coming on either because of the Transformers Marothon. I hope they don't end up not showing Yugioh GX like M.A.R. and Prince of Tennis. Now I don't care Yugioh GX or Prince of Tennis as much as Naruto or M.A.R. but M.A.R. is a different story. M.A.R. is one of my most favorite shows now so not being able to see it is P!$$!NG me off. So if anyone can tell me when M.A.R. is coming back that will make me fell better.
THANKS in advance

I just started watching MAR it's pretty good thus far.

I have only seen the first couple episodes.

Isn't the voice actor for Ginta the same as the dub voice for Shinji in Evangelion?

JirouKun I'll check that in a second but I found out just now babbo has spoiler[8 transformations.

Version 1-A: Hammer ÄRM; 1-B: Dagger ÄRM
Ginta's fist and Babbo merge together to create a metal ball (hammer) or a dagger. In this mode Babbo can telepathically communicate with Ginta. This version is mainly used for close range fighting.

Version 2: Bubble Launcher
Babbo turns into a gun with which Ginta can fire exploding bubbles that look like Babbo. Ginta uses this for long range fighting or as cover.

Version 3: Gargoyle
Gargoyle takes a lot of magical power to use. Babbo turns into a giant Gargoyle creature that levitates above the ground on a giant crystal. Because this version is a guardian ÄRM Ginta can't move when he uses it, but it also is very dangerous; if he is reckless with it, Ginta's spirit energy will be crushed.It was first sighted in the underground lake defeating a chess piece, and blasting a way out for Ginta.

Version 4: Holy Guardian Alice
Babbo turns into an angelic female Guardian ÄRM that uses healing magic, which is effective for counter-attack and protection against Darkness ÄRMs. Babbo is embarrassed after the transformation.
Ginta also used it in the battle with Kannochi.


Version 5: Cushion Jelly
Babbo turns into a giant pudding that covers Ginta entirely and absorbs all physically destructive attacks used by the enemy. The one drawback is that this move will render Ginta motionless.

Version 6: Puss in Boots
Babbo turns into a giant Puss in Boots, gaining immense speed and the ability to use other ÄRMs.

Version 7: Union
A spell that reunites the separated.

Version 8: Gate Keeper Clown
Babbo transforms into an exact replica of the Gate Keeper Clown allowing a certain number of people, determined by the dice roll of the Gate Keeper, to go into the real world from MÄR-Heaven.Ginta and his dad meets up with Koyuki and went back home. ]


If you want to check out other things just go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MÄR
Also if you want to know what happens way later in the show check out the very end of spoiler[Version 8: Gate Keeper Clown]

Your right the voice of Shinji and Ginta is Spike Spencer
