Darkstone Anime Forums are currently in the process of going through and deleting some of the old topics that have died out. This is so we can free more bandwidth on the site and make it run a bit faster. We don't want you to feel alarmed if some of your old topics and post start disappearing. Just remember that it's for the site.

It has begun. The first episode has aired in Japan ... if you have not yet, check it out.

I will wait a couple of episodes though before I give it an official review.

so.

guess what, my peeps?

Fruits Basket #14 just moved up to #24 on the USA Today Top 150.

you know what that means?

This makes it the highest ranked manga ever, beating Naruto by five places and also by staying in the top 30 for two weeks.

Read it. Live it. Love it.

Peace Out.

but I couldn't resist!

Love Manga re-capped a report on the USA Today Top 150 Books for the week ending 08/06/06...

Look at #29, baby!

Fruits Basket #14...and that's where it debuted. It shares the joint highest with Naruto vol.9 for any manga title in the USA Todays Top 150, and it's also the highest a Furuba title has ever placed...

It's for a reason people. It's damn good. Read it. Love it. Live it.

...okay, maybe i'm a little fanatical about it, but hey....

And as Brigid says over at MangaBlog "It’s time to start speculating about what will happen if a volume hits the top ten, or even the number one spot."

...the #1 spot...can you imagine?

Sorry that I or Melli have not been on the forums as of late. Between Mini-Con and a family emergancy we have not been around lately. We are about a week away from being back 100% and then we will get to work on upgrading the site.

As soon as I am able to finish training the mods, the news will begin to flow as well as regular updates to the calendar of events.

Sorry that everything has been so slow in coming ... but today is a new day! Best wishes for all of our readers, browsers and posters. –James

PS ... thanks to everyone that has helped keep the store going while Melli and I have been gone ... Kudos

The next two meeting will start at 6:30pm on May 25th and June 1.
At Wizards Asylum Comics & Games.

The Mini Con Meeting is going to be changed up this week.
