The Anime/Manga Thread

Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.

Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?

One of us! One of us! One of us!

Already one of us? Make your presence known:

Currently on my to-watch/read list are Cowboy Bebop (yeah, I haven't seen it yet), Captain Harlock, Durarara, and Sora no Manimani. The last one doesn't seem like it would normally be my type, but it's about astronomy so I'm giving it a chance.

Worthy Posts: 136 Group: Banned Member #547 Joined: November 24, 2009 Gender: WIMMINZ True Name: Tractatus	Questionable spoiler of Angel Beats? Angel beats is about a group of characters in some sort of high school setting in the afterlife, presumably some kind of purgatory before passing on kinda thing. It revolves around a student group faction called the SSS(which is NOTHING like SOS), run under a bossy overly-demanding leader-figure named Yuri(who is NOTHING like Haruhi), and an amnesiac overly-capable mellow main character, and an entourage of.....other people. Together they fight against God through murdering and pillaging and burning and looting with a massive underground weapon factory backing them up. Or so that is what they think, lolgod. Oh yeah, there's also that hawt Angel chick, mmmmmmhmmmmmm. That aside, I'm currently watching Durarara FMAB Katanagatari Angel Beats Senkou no Night Raid.....................the first episode was painful on my capability to understand Chinese RAINBOW House of five leaves and Uraboku Edited by Tractatus, May 9 2010, 12:09 AM.
