I loved the manga. But I have to admit that I've never finished the anime.


I've never read any manga myself. purely anime. I also love Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Ghost in the Shell, Ergo Proxy was also quite good. I've seen so many. anyone a fan of these?

I love Shinichirō Watanabe's work.
Cowboy Bebop is imho one of the best animes ever.

Epic manga, never finished the anime and a weird live action movie (well...set of three). The guy who played L was HOT!!! <3_<3

Death Note was a really good manga to read. Did anyone read the alternate ending? I think the real ending they choose was more apt....more....poignant and unique. Also, Misa was freaky! I felt a little bad for her by the end....but not much as she killed bulter-san :'(

EDIT!!

I thought some people might find these handy. They show the stroke order too (looking at the screen was hurting me eyes too much tonight).

Annyong!

I'm going up on Friday. I need to shimmy over to SEAS on Saturday in order to get me changed to single honours japanese before the welcome meeting.

Can't seem to find any flatmates though :/

When is everyone else moving in?

As for Death Note, I think it was going strongly until that death. I really liked the battle between Light and L. Wasn't the same without it.
I like Ohba and Obata's latest manga too.

Truly the best part was the battle of wits between L and Light Yagami. The logic and deductions were truly awe inspiring. Like how L figured out that Kira was a local citizen by only broadcasting in that area whilst telling everyone it was a worldwide broadcast. That episode was what got me hooked haha. After the death it was still good but it wasn't the same

I agree. I would intermittently watch Cowboy Bebop when I was a kid. Even then I had appreciation for the music, characters and style. Shinichiro Watanabe also did an amazing job with Samurai Champloo.
I'm a bit of an imposter here because I'm doing Politics, but I think I'm going to be picking chinese economic development and japans economy and management, in my spring semester. I get to pick 20 credits worth from any dept, and they are 10 each. I presume that's how it works. It's all quite confusing!

I hope there's no problems with this. It's a shame because there's so many modules I was interested in, in this dept, but they were in the autumn term and I can't take them. :frown:

I've been stalking this thread becasue of module info, and I'm jealous of it! We don't have a nice friendly thread for Politics. Not fair! :P

*Wecomes impossible! in* Hiiiii :biggrin:

I am also taking Japan's Economy and management but I'm stuck on what to take regarding the Chinese modules as Chinese culture and society intrigued me but I've read good things about the Economic development module. See you in class future class mate :biggrin:

Edit:

Also, this thread gets derailed quite a lot XD. It's really interesting to read though.

Thanks :biggrin:

I totally missed chinese culture and society, because it was near the bottom with the second year stuff. Just had a read and that does sound good! I wanted to do East Asia environment and society, but couldn't, so seeing that module looks good. So now I have three that I'd be interested in taking, but I can only pick two. This will require some thought :colondollar:

Gah! I know what you mean. There were so many gems hiding in the modules lists that I had problems too. The 2nd ones look even better *_* hehe, it's like a treat for those who pass the first year.

SIDE QUESTION-

Can any 2nd, 3rd or 4th years tell me which is better pleased -

Chinese Culture and Society: http://www-online.shef.ac.uk:3001/pls/live/web_cal.cal_unit_detail?unit_code=EAS133&ctype=SPR+SEM&start_date=08-FEB-10&mand=Optional

or

Chinese Economic Development: http://www-online.shef.ac.uk:3001/pls/live/web_cal.cal_unit_detail?unit_code=EAS168&ctype=SPR+SEM&start_date=08-FEB-10&mand=Optional

I'm doing Japanese Economy and Management as well and I thought the 2nd one would make a really interesting caparison. What are the lecturers like though? Read further in that Chinese Economic Development is a great module to take but nothing about Chinese Culture and Society.

I'll be keeping at eye on this question too ^_^

Do you happen to know what we do regarding spring semester modules? Do we only have to choose them later on in the year when it's closer, or do we do all of that now?

EDIT: Nevermind, I found out the answer to that question :awesome: but now...do we register for them online? Ah, all this registration is confusing haha.

Modules that are NOT part of your department have to be applied for during Intro week :smile:, and modules that are part of your department are applied for online. Our deadline for applying was on the 11th, but I don't know about the other departments. It's sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo confusing at first though @_@
