I had never heard of it before until today.

[Pyro81]

Really? Wonder where i picked it up then...

1 episode of Bamboo Blade left.

The last 4 episodes of Shugo Chara I've gotten have some type of corruption. At a certain point in the video it wa stall and I will lose my subs. Yet the audi will continue to play fine Not good. Its up to eps 22 now IIRC and I'm missing pieces now. Ugh.

[Pyro81]

I just downloaded Shugo Chara but i won't be watching them for a little while. I'll try to remember about the corrupted files when i do. Who subbed the ones you d/l?

[Pyro81]

Okay, explain this to me...

I just finished watching Kaze no Stigma, good show, by the way...
Now, Kazuma and Ayano are cousins in this story. Here's where i'm confused. In this show they seem to have some sort of love interest (not to mention Ayano's father keeps trying to get them to hook up...). And i've seen this type of situation before in Japanese Anime where somebody loves their cousin (though i can't remember which one...). So what i'm trying to figure out is if dating ones cousin is viewed as okay in Japan? Being the ignorant American that i am this strikes me as "WTF?!"

Edit:Elfen Lied was the other anime series i was trying to think of.

[LostRacer]

HUH? Wait. In Elfen Lied I don't remember any in family antics
If you like some strange stuff. Watch "Gravitation"..I couldn't make it past the 3rd episode..

[Pyro81]

In the very first episode when the girl was meeting up with the boy she introduces herself as being his cousin. I don't remember for sure but i thought later on she started to fall for him. I'd have to rewatch the series to find out. And the only reason why i remember this is because i've had to rewatch that first episode before to find out if she really did say she was his cousin because i was confused later on when she started to fall for him.

Gravitation...got it...i'll give a watch to see if i can make sense of anything...but i doubt it...

I've been seeing previews on the sci-fi channel for an anime movie called Karas, which is part of an anime series. It looked good from what i saw. Any opinions on it?

[LostRacer]

I saw brief cuts when it first started coming out(Karas). But didn't hear much after words.

I'm watching elfen lied when I get home..

Yea ive wondered about the cousins thing several times...not sure if its acceptable...like they were distant cousins or whatnot...or if they just mis-translate a word for cousin. BTW Shakugan no Shana is complete now too.
