OMG its finally here, the ichigo 100% OVA!!! im totally speechless....the graphic...sick...character design....sick....storyline....not too good, but still its awesome enough to make me skip bleach 26 to watch it first!!
The new Ichigo 100% series has started in Japan as well, but from the reviews of the first episode I've seen, it appears to be a bit lackluster... I also heard there are a few more of these OVAs scheduled for release over the summer... I've never read the manga, but it looks interesting.
QUOTE (Perdan @ Apr 9 2005, 02:30 AM) should you have read the manga before watching the ova?
i watched the first episode, it wasnt toooo bad.. good enough so that i'll watch the 2nd atleast...
the ova is a part of the story further down the road...u should read the manga BEFORE watching the anime or the ova....i means they are totally skipping all the events and trying to make this into a probably 13 episodes series...but the ED of the anime is just sad...those gals are too good for eurobeat....btw...manaka look too good in the anime...even better than the blond hair dude...

Are they not going to follow closely to the manga...? i'm reading it currently and man... the girls are nice!!!
I haven't watched the anime yet but are u serious??!! How can the guy look better than tsukasa.........btw.. whos the fourth gal in your pics?? i aint tt far yet...
I watched Episode 1 tonight, it's quite hilarious. Much like with School Rumble, I've never read the manga, so I have no ideal for it to live up to, but so far, it's really good. Nothing like Japanese middle-school antics.
This definitely chalks up alongside School Rumble and Mahoraba Heartful Days. No crazy superpowers, just awkward moments and utter hilarity.
I like the new avatar, MKK, I'm definitely watching Erementar Jerad as well.
Air Pirates are almost as cool as the space variety.
i love the manga but il definitely try the OAV regardless (anything for Aya and Tsukasa
). if its comedy is anything like Kare Kano then it wud be worth it
ichigo:
in mkk's screenshots, the four girls would be Aya, Tsukasa, Satsuki and Yui ^__^ im guessing uv not yet encountered Yui. in that case, good for you, uv still got 1 or 2 more vols to go through till her and like 5 or so more vols till u reach my state... totally hanging on my nails till the next scanlation releases ^___^0
hmm... the first few pictures are not from the ova... they're from episode 1...
of the 3 fansubs for the ova, I personally prefer Yanime's release. DP failed to sub the OP and ED, but the main content was ok. yesy was quit alright, and released earlier than yanime, but i think yanime's translation was the most accurate. So i'd pick Yanime. Plus, their release was a direct rip from the dvd. yesy and dp got their raws from leetraws i presume, so their encoding may not be as good, but yesy was definitely better than dp.
That was my quickie review... >.< Hope it was ok...
i saw the first episode of the series and it's more or less loyal to the manga. anyway, the ova, what's it like? i mean, when in the story did it take place?

yup its during the filming of their club's 2nd film, the one with Tsukasa and Manaka as lead. oh, and it squashed in that bit with Manaka and Aya stranded in a cabin during a rainstorm
actually they squashed in alot of things (several manga episodes) so it kinda felt rushed. I was just happy hearing Aya's and Tsukasa's anime voices ^__^
guys i just finish the LAST chapter of the manga...which is 167. after this chapter i think i just sit there for 4 hrs and did nothing, cuz its just so good
seriously guys should go read this manga, i know the beginning part is all gals and gals, but as soon it hits the 140 chapters mark, things are so dramatic its not funny. it really shows that in the 3 yrs of Manaka's school life, he always have the fun but things will have to end at some point.
i thought the anime sucked..the story was crazy lame.. justa lot of fan service (which was good), but i expect the manga is alot better.. i need to start downloadin that..
