Review Requests//Database updates
Can I add to the requests RG Veda? I know Tokyopop's still hasn't come out with all the volumes, but maybe someone's at least read scanlations?

This isn't a highly qualified opinion, just the first one in case no one else answers your question. Nonetheless, my answer for the moment is: yes. What I have seen of the plot is fairly shallow. Even if it becomes truly amazing, the plot is exploited for fanservice so extensively that the argument could easily be made.

Is the reviews still going?
I still would like to do a Negima review. It's up to book 8 in English and I have read the scanlations on it so I know what the content is like in the series.
I would also like to write a review for Kare Kano - even though I have not completed the series yet haha. If no one writes a review by the time I complete the series, I would not mind writing a review up. I am on book 7 now and I believe there are 20 so I am not even close - but by the end of Jan I should be up to 15.

I'd also like to do some reviews, if I may ^__^ I've noticed that no one has done or claimed Pita Ten or Lagoon Engine. I'm pretty sure Lagoon Engine won't be continued... (Though I wish Sugisaki would write another! I hate how she ends mangas sometimes!) But I've read all of Pita Ten and the 3 volumes that are out of Lagoon Engine and I can borrow them all from a friend to write the reviews. May I?

I'm afraid I'm going to have to decline this until you finish the series in English. The reason is that we'd rather have a review totally based on the version people will buy years from now when there are no scans available anymore. We're trying to go for long-term completeness over short-term volume, if that makes sense.

I can put you down as the potential reviewer, and the official release only rule applies to everyone else, too, so there's no chance of me taking up someone else's review over your promised one at this point.

Pita Ten is a definate go, but can you explain the status of Lagoon Engine for me? I don't know the details so I don't know how to judge its status.

Yeah, I understand. I just wanted to throw that out there just in case ^_^

Ok. If no one writes a review for Kare Kano by the time I finish it, I will be more then happy to write one.

Yay! ^_^
Lagoon Engine is an interesting one... it only has three volumes out, and ends rather abruptly. Many people think that this is the last one and that the mangaka won't make any more. It's not unusal for Sugisaki to end mangas in the middle of a story though... she did the same for Candidate for Goddess, ending it without really resolving anything XD In the back of the last volume it usually has a summery of the next but it just has a question mark. But I haven't heard anything about another one being made, even in Japanese, so I think the series is finished. But I can wait on that if you'd like.

Yea I am doing a Pilot Candidate review, but it has ended for years and so thats why I was doing it, unless Ash changes her mind.
Sugisaki definitley has a way of ending series like that. I hear she is sick alot so that may be the reason. I did hear that there is more to Pilot Candidate, but that was in 2002 or 03...

I'd like to add another request for Berserk. It's extremely graphic, though due to its nature it probably will not end for many, many years, so I can't see anything that could possibly be done in the future that would alter a review.
If you'd like, I'll write one up.

Since I'm helping Ashley-chan with the manga review section of the site now, allow me to say that we'd be very happy to have a Juvenile Orion review.
Just remember to be detailed, thorough, and objective-- and have fun. Review away, my friend.Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

That may be longer in coming. Considering that it is on the Do Not Discuss list, if we follow the precedent set for anime, only a moderator can review it. I've read about 30% of the series, but there's no gaurantee I'll finish it any time soon. I suppose I could write a review if you want one, or just give you basic content details informally.

If your review is posted, you'll see a thread for it appear in this forum. As far as I know members have never been informed if we decide not to use a review, but you can always ask about its status if you are curious.

A couple of these have been submitted, so you might get some of your wishes granted. But, Prince of Tennis isn't finished, is it?
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;

Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

It is still in the pending area and it doesn't look as though anyone has touched it (there are a few spelling errors and no HTML tags yet). However, I don't know what its status is, or if anyone has even looked at it yet. There is also the possibility that the series is not finished.
Quite a number of those titles aren't, actually. If you're actually concerned about the content of a specific ongoing series, just ask here (though please ask about fewer) and it is likely someone will be able to answer you.

The policies haven't always been exactly as they were. As of the time I wrote those reviews, we had made a tentative decision that some popular series would be noted in the database. Since then our policy has changed, though we saw no reason to remove those reviews. In any case, it is a slightly different matter because I can (and do) edit my reviews as content changes in the series, whereas normal members doing this would quickly become too much work.

I would be willing to do reviews of "Girl got Game" and "Mouryou Kiden" both are complete and I have all volumes. I should be able to get them done in a couple of weeks, since spring break starts in a week.

Personally, I'd like to see a review of Loveless if anyone gets a chance...I'm skeptical as Tokyopop themselves said it had a "bit of shounen-ai", which makes me wonder if they mean a bit as in a bit that's obvious, or a bit as in a bit that's there if you want it to be.

Oh I'm pretty sure it's REALLY shounen-ai... especially just the looks of even the anime DVD cover. I even asked my friend who's into that stuff if it was and she answered with a "definately".
I don't know about that Tokyopop... a "bit" maybe is what they say, knowing they already have a line of Y manga :/

Yeah, but doesn't the "Y" mean "Young Readers"? not yaoi?
