Who's being a racist xenophobe now? lulz.

Uh, not me...? What I said had nothing to do with race.

Go fuck yourself. Really hard, with the business end of a hungry wolverine. Goddamn, you are the dumbest person I have ever spoken to on the Internet. And I can see you've contributed a lot here so far, with your...3 posts in a year! Dip, son!

I didn't prove your point. At all. But then, I can tell ...

I have heard of the things Twitchywrote mentioned, too. Though western-style people are cool (in the end, even WWII couldn't hold back the approach towards western lifestyle), the relationship with its asian neighbours is still difficult.

Why are you so offended? Are you one of the minority?
I have just stated my own opinion quite radically, that's all. I haven't offended anyone directly, or point fingers/put labels.

But leaving the forum because someone has an opinion, which conflicts with yours is at least not prudent. There are ...

I cannot see why a word like 発狂 is offensive. Besides, according to the character who is using a term, even offensive terms end up making sense.

Why can't I call a black guy a nigger and a homosexual the faggot? :evil:
Ridiculous question! The word nigger is offensive since it was created. The ...

The only thing I can guess is that Japan is a pretty mono-national country with nearly no assimilations, and, maybe, is free from racial problems. However, that's just a guess.

Japan is a country where foreign ppl is mostly openly called "gaijin", that is a term not much different from "dirty ...

News regarding the scanlation-piracy issue. Someone posted a link at another board:

A Million thanks for the hard work!
You guys are making the interminable wait for the U.S. releases bearable.

As for Alita's fate, remember that this is only her Third death since becoming a cat-girl, (crushed by Tunguska, impaled by Rakan) so she's got six lives remaining!

Crushed by Tunguska ...

BOOYA! You did great, folks! Now I am eager for the next one, I am. Great job!

Is there any chance someone could reupload these? I would like to have them again, and the file source says they're corrupt and not working now.

Whenever you could, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Sam, off-topic, but where did you get that re-colored image of Net Gally?

Oi, that's a tease! Is there a way to download those from Chinaweb?

Or me, been around for as long? Eh? Eh?

I was unable to find the image in Yukito's site. Please give me the exact address. I am desperate.

This is the only bit. The whole picture's not up yet.

What's with Sechs' hair? Looks blond and fluffy, almost like Lou's. If at least the text would be text, but its a picture. So we can't copy it to receive a crappy auto-translation.

Right? Now I'm more curious than ever!

Well, that fucking eats. I'm mad now.

I'm...well, I'm sad now.

Well! It would appear that the image is the assertion of Alita's consciousness in the Jovian wormhole reactor.

LOL at Zekka spiking Sechs like a volleyball.

ACH! Maybe the Jovians will do to her what GIB did, and make several clones of her based on her combat data!

The thing that's really setting this apart from Dragonball Z style heights of stupidly ominipotent power is how self-aware Alita is acting about it. Battle, her way of life, has pretty much been reduced to a series of foregone conclusions for her, and if on some level she was still using it the way ...

BEAUTIFUL. Absolutely wonderful.

What about the different ranks of the Panzer Kunst itself, as entailed by Caerula in Volume 6? Krieger, Hoher Krieger, Gezere, Anfanger, and so on? Pretty easy to implement, right?

Huh. I always wondered what Sechs ears looked like...
