Yeah, I interpreted it as a memory wipe. My guess is the first time he wiped his memory so he could continue the game, if he had kept on going with the knowledge he had (the betrayels, etc) he wouldn't have been effective and end up like the other Selecao

Though, as now all of his money will be used to make him King, wouldn't giving Saki the phone just make her a target of the Supporter if Mr. Outside deems Takizawa's effort as unworthy of "saving" Japan?

Man, November really is too long away. :\

question is if he is a real king or if the memory wipe makes him think he's a king. Saki shouldn't have to worry about any reprisal from Mr. Outside or the Supporter because she didn't do anything wrong. I doubt Mr. Outside would disapprove either. Only thing Saki has to worry about is #1 and #10 I think.

Good point. I forgot that the Supporter is the only one in the group who (presumably) knows the identities of the others. For some bizarre reason, I thought he was technically one of the twelve and therefore doesn't know about everyone else until Mr. Outside tells him to kill an errant Selecao. Still, giving Saki the phone would just seem to invite a load of unnecessary problems, including making her a target. All for the sake of the plot, I suppose. ^^

On another note, I've watched K-On all the way through except for the last episode special. Man, this thing is so damned "moe", ha!

For those of you who watch One piece but get tired of the fillers (like I do) episodes 392 and onward are freaking awesome... I would watch from the 390 to get the back story... but daaaaaaamn. They just introduced like 10 more high bounty pirate, a mistery person that is supposed to be strong as hell and they are killing Ace. (don't know much about that yet) So the story is settup to greatness!

Know what the best part of the new FMA anime is? The anticipation and knowing that Roy will turn into a badass motherfucking death-rape machine at some point and obliterate certain people like the little bitches they are. That will be glorious when animated.

The last episode was fuckin epic, even though i read the manga and know whats beyond the filler, that shit was pure $$$. Best part is the person behind it all loves the series and still has no desire to stop it so i hope it hits ep 600 before it finishes, still so much shit unanswered which makes it even more awesome.

I didn't read the manga much so not familiar with all that will happen, but since I half assed watched the original since it was english dubbed im looking forward to this much more. I watched a movie where it looked like Al was human again, so question is does he ever go back to being human? I know it was a movie so it possibly does not follow story line, but pretty curious non the less. Toss up a spoiler tag and respond if possible, shit feel free to spoil alot il still watch the show regardless.

In the manga? Not so far... it's still got a good ways to go till it concludes.

[Soldaris]

Yeah thats pretty much what I was curious about.

[Kaige]

Worst part about new FMA though:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

watching Hughes die again. Man that shit eats me up so much I get pissy about it lol. They really build up an awesome character just to yank him out from under you.

On the other hand, the "wtf factor" of FMA really gets you into it. I remember watching the first series and remembering the 2nd episode coming up this time around with Nina and saying to myself "oh fuck, this part".

Eden Spoilers

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Was thinking about it, but how did Takizawa know to have the NEETs arrive when they did?

[Sean]

Hrm, I think from this point on in FMA it should be entirely different material from the first series.

[PerritoBites]

Wow... that last one piece episode was so good! I think this is my favorite storyline so far. So many awesome powers were revealed in the last episode, while still leaving it open for A LOT more storyline to be added. I hope one piece doesn't end anytime soon (I don't read the manga), even if I have to endure watching all those crappy filler about contests and other things :P Luffy needs new powers though... he is resorting to going Gear second and third every batlle and its only cool when he does it all dramatic like the last fight

[The Dauntless One]

Eden of the East is definitely really fucking good. The ending is probably the best I've seen in a long time. I'm looking forward to the 2 movies.

I am honestly glad that I thought the series sucked at first so I didn't watch it (only watched the first episode)... Made it so much better when I got bored one night and then downloaded and watched the whole series in one sitting.

I believe the history on the no. IV phone showed the details and locations of the 2nd missile attack. So pre-memory wipe Takizawa knew about it when he sent away the NEETs. Or, he just got lucky.
