and spinnaz you know of a good rip for Kino's Journey with seeds

Spinnaz only watches hentai. lol

HAHAHAHAHA XDDDD HAHAAHA Very good DCup...XD BTW Spinnaz here you have my personal opinion about jigoku shoujo;well as you see is on my top of the list.I think its a very good anime because it focuses in the social problemas nowdays...and besides that ,it has an other story,her story,Enma Ai's story...a sad story and bla bla bla... there is the second part of the anime,Hell Girl Second Cage,and yes this one its nice too =) I recomend it ^^ its like more less Elfen Lied...if you liked Elfen Lied you have to like Enma Ai...It's not the same story...but sad storys for both of them and vengace =)

i finely found the 3rd gits movie ^_^. it is on a xdcc bot so ill have to get it after i get thru the rest of my queued. if anyone wonts it you can get it on the [ACX]Yukari bot on irc://irc.rizon.net/animecorpx

Japanese Animation

People usually think that anime is the animated version of japanese comic (manga). While in most cases this is true, however, not all anime is based on manga. For example, some anime are based on video games like Sakura Taisen and Tales of Eternia.

In anime, faces are very streamlined, but are used to convey the wide range of human emotions. The designs are so simplified that the smallest curve can change the entire character's expression. Characters often have multiple styles of faces, such as the normal face, the serious face, and the ultra cartoony or super deformed face, all used for the same characters at various times depending on what the situation calls for.

Most important are the big glossy eyes, said to be part of the legacy of Disney, who had a big influence on pioneering Japanese animators, but are also used because of the high level of emotion that having large eyes affords.

Hair is another widely recognized feature of anime characters. Not only do characters often have outrageously huge hair styles, but anime hair comes in all various colors not naturally found on people. Used primarily to help distinguish character from character, the colors often times suggest something about personality traits. Hair is usually given the 3 shade treatment of highlight, regular color, and shadow and tends to be drawn very angularly.

Body proportions emulated in anime come from proportions of the human body. The height of the head is considered as the base unit of proportion. Head heights can vary as long as the remainder of the body remain proportional. Most anime characters are about seven to eight heads tall, and extreme heights are set around nine heads tall.[18]

Variations to proportion can be modded. Chibi or super deformed characters feature a non-proportionally small body compared to the head. Sometimes specific body parts, like legs, are shortened or elongated for added emphasis. Mostly chibi are two to four heads tall. Some anime works like Crayon Shin-chan completely disregard these proportions. It is enough such that it resembles a Western cartoon. For exaggeration, certain body features are increased in proportion.

The following is a list of the major genres and designations that are specific to anime and manga.[28]

* Action/Adventure primarily focuses on battles, war, and physical competition. Martial arts, weapon fighting, or other action oriented material are usually featured. Examples: Naruto or One Piece.
* Drama primarily has a high degree of character development and emotional themes. Many center around relationship complications. Examples: Fushigi Yūgi or InuYasha.
* Game Based primarily revolves around some sort of card or board game. Examples: Yu-Gi-Oh! or Hikaru No Go.
* Horror use darker and/or supernatural themes. Examples: Vampire Hunter D series or Chrono Crusade.
* Science fiction consists of futuristic elements, particularly featuring future science and technology. They can be drawn from current scientific studies and inventions or created to meet the needs of the world. Examples: Ghost in the Shell or Wings of Honneamise
* Progressive or "Art films" are extremely stylized. Examples: Sayonara Zetsubō Sensei or Byōsoku 5 Centimetre.

Thematic

* Bishōjo is Japanese for "beautiful girl". A blanket term that features pretty girl characters. Sometimes conflated with Moè. Examples: Magic Knight Rayearth or Negima.
* Bishōnen is Japanese for "beautiful boy". A blanket term that can be used to describe any anime that features "pretty" and elegant boys and men. Examples: Fushigi Yūgi or most CLAMP shows.
* Sentai is literally a "fighting team" in Japanese. It refers to any show that involves a superhero team. Examples: Cyborg 009 or Voltron.
* Robot/Mecha features super robots. Examples: Mobile Suit Gundam or Mazinger Z.
* Post-Apocalyptic simply deals with a post-apocalyptic world. Examples: Fist of the North Star or Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.
* Mahō shōjo is a subgenre of shōjo known for "Magical Girl" stories. Examples: Sailor Moon or Cardcaptor Sakura.
* Mahō shōnen is a male equivalent of Mahō Shōjo. Examples: D.N.Angel or Fullmetal Alchemist
* Moé features characters with perky, cute, weak, or naïve behaviors. In some way, they are not overly independent.[29] Examples: A Little Snow Fairy Sugar.
* Expertise specializes with a specific topic in depth. Topics range from sports, the arts, and cooking. Examples: Eyeshield 21 with football, or Yakitate! Japan with bread-making.
* Lolicon ("Lolita Complex") is the sexualization of under-aged female characters, the name coming from the titular character of Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita. Example: Kodomo no Jikan
* Shotacon ("Shōtarō Complex") is the sexualization of under-aged male characters, the name coming from the lead child actor from Tetsujin-nijūhachi-gō. Example: Papa to Kiss in the Dark
* Harem is a genre which focuses on a male character surrounded by the romance of multiple female characters. Typically, the male cohabits with at least one female.[30] It is usually marketed as a Shōnen or Seinen.[31] Examples: Ranma ½ or Love Hina.
* Reverse Harem reverses the gender balance in harem, where a female character is romantically involved with many male characters. It is more often than not a Shōjo or Josei Anime. Examples: Ouran High School Host Club or Fruits Basket.
* Magical Girlfriend is more accurately termed Exotic Girlfriend. This genre focuses on the romantic relationship (and cohabitation) between a man and at least one woman of extraordinary origins such as alien (Tenchi Muyo!, Urusei Yatsura), supernatural (Oh My Goddess!), or technological (Chobits). Often considered a subgenre of Harem.[32][33]
* Ecchi is Japanese for "indecent sexuality", derived from the Japanese pronunciation of the letter "H", (the origin of the term is not well known, even in Japan. See main article for more information.) Sexual humor and fan service are prevalent. Examples: Oruchuban Ebichu or He Is My Master.
* Hentai is Japanese for "abnormal" or "perverted". This term is synonymous to pornography or erotica, as hentai content specifically consists of such. Examples: La Blue Girl or Bible Black.
* Shōjo-ai or Yuri is Japanese for "girl-love". These focus on love and romance between female characters. It is often being replaced by the term "Girls Love" (GL). Yuri is like Shōjo-ai, but sometimes involves older characters or explicit sexual activity. Examples: Revolutionary Girl Utena or Kannazuki no Miko.
* Shōnen-ai is Japanese for 'boy-love'. These focus on love and romance between male characters. The term "Shōnen-ai" is being phased out in Japan due to its other meaning of pederasty, and is being replaced by the term "Boys Love" (BL). Examples: Loveless or Gravitation
* Yaoi is like "Shōnen-ai" but often involving older characters and explicit sexual activity. Examples: Sensitive Pornograph

Someone asked for a kino's journy torrent. TBH, all seeds are dead and it took me ~3 weeks to download just those 12 episodes. Gimme a pm or something and I can give you the torrent that I'm seeding.

@ Dcup's comment about the hentai: I've seen things I wish I hadn't.

Here you go, Kino's journey, megaupload links. If you dont have premium account, it'll take you 13 days to download 13 episodes, faster than Spinnaz's 3 weeks.

Episode 01 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5V72F234
Episode 02 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JE67V00H
Episode 03 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SH4RU63K
Episode 04 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OOADUNF6
Episode 05 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=F6J6DIWP
Episode 06 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KRWYK9BZ
Episode 07 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PDQSJPN6
Episode 08 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WFQEGY8O
Episode 09 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=I9GGVED9
Episode 10 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MYUVZ1XR
Episode 11 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Y48ASZCG
Episode 12 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GKKJFOTD
Episode 13 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=O74T0FTP

Also i like these sites that give me direct download: chosenanime.net , say-anime.com , vietxanime.com (usually links from third pt for regular users. I download those hentais in here for Spinnaz he he he).

well after spending 3 hours with a shitty irc xdcc bot i got a dual audio copy of Kino no tabi (Kino`s Journey). i hope its as good as i hear. and dcup i cant stand dling from thos file host sites. i only like to dl thru xdcc bots(when they work right you can get a 26 ep anime in under 2 hours(800kBs)) and torrents(you start it and leave it alone). stuff like megaupload u have to wait like a day between dl's

Spoiler:

that is how bad that bot was

Trigun
FLCL !!! (best imo, too bad they ended it)
Cowboy Bebop
Lupon III
