Oh do I! I cracked up and printed that one out. (a rare occasion). Remember when he busted Largo out of jail?

Rentazilla. Gotta love it. I've said this before, but I was seriously considering buying his hoodie off of thinkgeek until I saw the price.

Awesome. Plus, it actually has a decent reason to exist, unlike some fan pages. It's all about the sightings section. How long did that take you?

On the topic, it says "title here" beside my name. What's that mean?

Postby **Ashley** » Sat Aug 30, 2003 7:35 pm

it took about 2 hours or so...well, plus I guess an extra hour to look through EVERY SINGLE MEGATOKYO page to find all the Junpei's. And the "title" is for you to make up your own l33t sounding thing, i.e.
Ashley// <title> webmistress and Junpei lover </title>

I put you down because I knew you'd like it. And it's kinda dedicated to you anyway. ^^

Postby **uc pseudonym** » Sat Aug 30, 2003 7:39 pm

Why, thank you. I think I could go with the title of <title> writer and N1NJ4 in training </title>.

Love the Junpei site, Ash! Does Fred know about it yet? Only one critique--as a Kimiko fan, I noticed the glaring absence of a Kimiko blurb under the "other characters" section. :sweat:

Postby **Ashley** » Sat Aug 30, 2003 9:03 pm

Thanks! I told Fred about it seconds after it's creation. Still awaiting response. And I left Kimiko off because I can't remember which one she is....anyone who wants to contribute blurbs is welcome to.
UC, will add you/your title.

There was a Junpei cosplayer at CN Anime . . .

I'll post some pics as soon as I can find em.

In the meantime, something interesting from the forums:

Good news. Dark Horse has picked up publication of MegaTokyo and volume 2 will be coming out the first of next year. Volume 1 will be re-released following that with some new additions to the work.

Sweet... I never thought before Megatokyo that I'd read an american made manga... And even sweeter: an actual pastor who's an anime fan... That's awesome...

I love MT! ^___^ Tho, ya gotta admit that there's some stuff they could of done with out...

Postby **Gypsy** » Tue Oct 21, 2003 9:38 am

Yeah, there's a guest panel in particular that I think was too off colored, but MT is relatively clean compared to many online manga. Sometimes I'm amazed at how many adjectives can be replaced with the f-bomb.

Postby **Technomancer** » Tue Oct 21, 2003 9:51 am

Poe's stuff (Errant Story, Exploitation Now!) can be a bit racy at times (if that's the panel that I'm thinking of). Gallagher made a note of some of the fan's reactions, but felt the strip was alright anyways. *shrug* I'll certainly admit that Poe is one of the better web comic artists out there though.

Postby **uc pseudonym** » Tue Oct 21, 2003 1:18 pm

I'm fine with Errant Story (but we'll see where this most recent development) and I just didn't care about Exploitation Now. But how did we get to this subject?

Postby **Technomancer** » Tue Oct 21, 2003 2:32 pm

I've never read much of EN, I only know that Poe did it.

PS. Go back a page

Postby **uc pseudonym** » Wed Oct 22, 2003 5:36 am

Oh, I did that before my last post. I did again just to make sure. All I see is talk about a Dark Horse volume of Megatokyo, then Gypsy making a comment about the "f-bomb." Is that what you were referring to?

Postby **Technomancer** » Wed Oct 22, 2003 9:03 am

I think Gypsy and I are thinking of the same panel, which was a guest strip by Michael Poe. I don't recall anyone using the f-word there, although when she mentioned it, I thought Gypsy was speaking about webcomics in general rather than the specific strip in question.

Postby **Gypsy** » Wed Oct 22, 2003 11:16 am

Right on both accounts, Techno. Poe's guest strip was the one I was thinking of, and I was talking about web comics in general when referring to the language factor.

Postby **MasterDias** » Wed Oct 22, 2003 12:41 pm

The manga is pretty entertaining. It's true that a few instances are somewhat risque.

Some of the situations are hilarious.
Largo insulating PCs with breakfast cereal and cooling them with beer.
:lol:

Postby **uc pseudonym** » Wed Oct 22, 2003 1:19 pm

I see. I wasn't condemning, just wondering where that came from. Hmm. When I first read Megatokyo, I skipped a lot of the filler things, but I doubt I would have considered something drawn by Michael Poe filler. Maybe I just don't remember it.

Postby **Gypsy** » Wed Oct 22, 2003 8:47 pm

It wasn't completely hide your face horrible, but it did stand out from the normal humor of MT. Off-colored enough so that it stood out in my memory.

Postby **Benu** » Sun Oct 26, 2003 9:08 pm

Yea that one was a little off colored. Even Fred said that it was kinda shocking to him when he read it. Anyway I finally found a print copy of book 1 at borders yesterday! I've been trying to find one and i finally have. It's pretty cool some would say it's a rip off because it's all online for free but I enjoy the little extras and commentary under each comic you really get to go deeper into the mind of prio. That could be a good thing or a bad thing. Anyway Book 2 is almost ready!!
