Ghost Hunt



I have to preface this with ALLYSEN YOU'LL LIKE THE ANIMATION!
(this guy even looks like Hauri!)

2 light novels: Akuryou Series (can't find!)

8 light novels: Ghost Hunt (can't find!)

10 manga which are based on the Akuryou Series
AND COUNTING....
25 anime episodes
Looks like you have to buy them together folks, I found a few single Files but they were in Japanese and I personally don't like subs. So you get the Season Packages, I do have a list of chapters if you want them though. There are 8 Files which I'm assuming are are stories that span serveral episodes.


Ghost Hunt: Season 1, Part 1


The Irresponsible Captain Tylor

Sounds Hilarious!

Legend of Himiko (Anime)




Theres only 1volume of Manga and it didn't come out in English though


Anime 12 Episodes




OR



Its also a video game, came out on the playstation, the anime is loosly based on it

Ergo Proxy




I've heard this is a mix of Ghost in the Shell and Witch Hunter Robin. Since I've only seen 5 episodes Witch Hunter Robin, and only heard stories about Ghost in the Shell I can't say much, but I'm very interested for one reason: The animation! Its supposed to ROCK 3D CG, sounds awesome..., and the voice actors aren't that bad either :0) I love me some voice actors (Chris your still my fav though)

23 ANIME EPISODES - there was originally 9 volumes in japan, but it was shortened to 6 in the USA


OR




A Manga spinoff called :Centzon Hitchers & Undertaker was serialized in Shogakukan's Monthly Sunday Gene-X, beginning in March 2006. It was later released in two graphic novel compilations, the first in August 2006 and the second on 19 February 2007. And of course I can't find them, well I only search for about 3 hours after that I'm done, its just not that important. I do have it on my check up list so I'm only giving up for today.

Trinity Blood




THERE ARE 3 DIFFERENT ADAPTATIONS: Mostly they all are the same story, however things such as names, situations, roles, and people, have either been removed, altered, rearranged, or changed in some way.

If you want order, the Novel would be the one for you, being that it is the Original brains behind the other two. The Novel came first (written By:Sunao Yoshida) then it was adapted into a Manga which later was followed by the Anime Series.

The artwork also differs from all three versions, as the character designs were each created by different artists.

I do have to add though that the Author Died, and his friend has continued it, or at least is in the process which could explain why I can't find the remaining novels and manags for sale anywhere


FIRSTLY

LIGHT NOVELS - Trinity Blood was first created as two six-volume series of Japanese light novels. The first series is subtitled Rage Against the Moons (RAM), while the second series is subtitled Reborn on the Mars (ROM). Tokyo Pop is releasing both novel series together on a four month release schedule that alternates between the two series.

1 Series
Trinity Blood - Rage Against the Moons Volume 1: From the Empire (Trinity Blood)
Trinity Blood - Rage Against the Moons Volume 2: Silent Noise
Trinity Blood - Rage Against the Moons Volume 3: Know Faith (Trinity Blood : Rage Against the Moons)
Trinity Blood - Rage Against the Moons Volume 4: Judgment Day (Trinity Blood: Rage Against the Moons)
Trinity Blood - Rage Agasint the Moons Volume 5: Bird Cage
Trinity Blood - Rage Agasint the Moons Volume 6: Apocalypse Now


2 Series
Trinity Blood - Reborn on the Mars Volume 1: The St of Sorrow
Trinity Blood - Reborn on the Mars Volume 2: The Iblis (Trinity Blood: Reborn on the Mars)
Trinity Blood - Reborn on the Mars Volume 3 (Trinity Blood Novels) (comes out May 12 2009)
Trinity Blood - Reborn on the Mars Volume 4: Mark of the Holy Woman
Trinity Blood - Reborn on the Mars Volume 5: Throne of Roses
Trinity Blood - Reborn on the Mars Volume 6: Crown of Thorns

Secondly

MANGA - There have been 10 Acts (Volumes) released in Northern America by Toykopop so far which would be 40 chapters. All my research kinda hints at more but I can't find out how much more

Trinity Blood Volume 9 (v. 9) (schedules release feb 10 2009)
Trinity Blood Volume 10 (this one also missed its release date of Feb 16th '08)

Thirdly

ANIME -Funimation released a 90 min movie to promote the serise called Trinity Blood: Genesis it encompases the first 4 episodes. I couldn't find it, but if you run acrossed it thats what it is.

Oh! My Goddess or Ah! My Goddess



The Manga is a spin-off of Your Under Arrest written by Taiho Shichauzo, there are over 34 Volumes of Manga 28 of them are out in the US


Graphic Novels, These are lost Chapters Not sure where they go

Oh My Goddess!: Queen of Vengeance This encompases manga volumes 6&7 Chapters 40-44

The Oh My Goddess OVA

Episode 1
Episode 2
Episode 3
Episode 4
Episode 5

I can't find anything about these, I have a faint suspiction that they are encluded in season 1 (below) but I'm not sure, I'm still looking though


The Adventures of Mini-Goddess

48 Episodes, this one kinda sits by itself, it has the same characters yet shares next to no continuity with the previous series, it departs the most from the basic manga storyline though.

or


Ah! My Goddess the Movie, its based more from the Manga then any of the other series


Lastly.. Ah! My Goddess TV Series
This series follows more strictly to the Manga then most of the others, granted they take their artistic lisence here and there but thats ok right?

24 Episodes with 2 bonus OVAs released in japan only

First Season: Ah! My Goddess
OR

Second Season:Ah! My Goddess: Everyone Has Wings


The second season is being released in the US by ADV films the first DVD of season two came out 5/8/07 so i can only imagine the rest has come out being that was over a year ago, though I'm not sure


A TV special Ah! My Goddess production entitled Ah! My Goddess: Fighting Wings was broadcasted in Japan on December 8th, 2007. This special consisted of two half-hour episodes adapting the Angel Eater arc from the manga.

Rune Soilder (Anime, Mecha)



I JUST BOUGHT THIS ONE finally!! NOW I HAVE TO WATCH IT AND I CAN UPDATE IT!
Hurray for Rune Soldier and Total Randomness!! This is the third Anime ever that I wanted,"took ya long enough!" I agree, but I have to admit it was worth the wait. Now as weird as it sounds I can't find this show in anything other then its Complete Collection. Which is probably best its not very long and would get lost if seperated.. probably. In anycase this is definately one you'll at least want to watch if not add to your collection, which I totally recommend, it brings HOURS of mindless enjoyment.

Witch Hunter Robin (Anime: WITCHES!)



Just started to watch this one, and again I was given it via a burned disc. Which makes me happy and unhappy at the same time, you see my wonderful friend -who is actually the one who introduced me to the Anime world- doesn't know which ones I'll like and not like, and where this one is a much darker show then I usually watch, he didn't want to get the whole thing and not have me like it, same goes for Hellsing, I only got the first disc, which is fine with me. Now why I'm unhappy is because I LIKE them now I have to go get the rest :) which means I have to do a search and see what IS next. And like always will I'm doing my own research I thought I'd let you all know as well!!

Wish me Luck! Oh by the way there isn't a Manga (as of yet) for Witch Hunter Robin

26 episodes

Witch Hunter Robin - Arrival (Vol. 1) Episode 1-5
Witch Hunter Robin - Belief (Vol. 2)
Witch Hunter Robin - Inquisition (Vol. 3)
Witch Hunter Robin - Fugitive (Vol. 4)
Witch Hunter Robin - Determination (Vol. 5)
Witch Hunter Robin - Vengeance (Vol. 6)

Abenobashi Magical Shopping Arcade




This show was totally handed to me as a burned disc! It wasn't even the whole Series, it was only Eps 1-4 which I think was pretty rude. Namely because I LOVED IT and now I have to go searching for the REST of it! But once I did its completely worth the wait!! Totally histerical and fun. Again my favorite voice actors brought together Chris Paton, and Luci Christain, and a new favorite Jessica Boone.


There are 13 Episodes and theres like 3 discs





or



ENJOY!!
