=Higruashi - Love how it goes from some slice-of-life average oktaku anime and then just dives straight into hell XD Also love it because it's got a very mysterious, yet confusing story line due to the story arcs.
"Why do you lie to me Keiichi?...why?" (I)_(I) Freaking love Higurashi.
-------------------------------------------
You should try reading the sound novels that the anime was based of, an online company called Mangagamer sells them with an english translation for about $25 each.
It really expands on the storyline and gives you alot more to think about. You'll also get the answer to that 'WTF' moment that happens right at the very end of the second series....
And even better, Yen Press have licensed 2 of the manga only chapters of higurashi :) . I really wish someone would translate the other games as well, then we would have everything......

And as for Moonphase, i have one thing to say to that: The manga is only semi-legal in most countries :P . I would assume thats the reason they stopped releasing it over here.

---------------------------------------------------
Just out of curiosity, to everyone who has seen Death Note.
Did you support Light or L?
-------------------------------------------
In the beggining, L, then after the series turning point ill not say due to spoiler reasons, Light.

Earlier in the thread I read someone say (quote)
"It depends on whos doing the dub/sub places like Funimation have a reputation to for ruining shows with censor ship and terrible translations"
Have you seen FUNi's dub of Axis Powers Hetalia yet? Nothing whatsoever on that has been censored. Sure, it translates differently from the original Japanese version, but the FUNi dub is +more+ offensive than the original, both as far as language and jokes :P However that's one of the great things about Hetalia. A history-based anime that isn't afraid to take a comedic approach to some more sensitive subjects.
In most cases I prefer watching my anime raw, so in Japanese without subtitles, but I love Hetalia's dub.
The over the top accents just make it :P

Haven't even seen Axis Powers Hetalia yet. Nor have I really watched so many FUNi dubs but I've heard about alot of things like with Yu-Gi-Oh I think they did something like managing to mix up peoples Monsters and had Joey saying "No not my ___" or something like that. O_o
Edit: I think that might of been 4kids actually or 4kids in association with Funi as wiki says..

There was a point at which Funi did get into hot water over censorship though. IF memory serves, its back when they where streaming episodes of 'Dance in the vampire bund' (the hell is a bund anyways) and they censored one scene or other.
There was a big nerd rage reaction because they took the initiative to censor a scene that was deemed innapropriate for american audiences, in the end they relented and said that they where going to make the DVD verions uncensored.
But yeah, its 4kids that has the rep for bad dubbery and overall mauling of a show. Still dosent hold a candle to nevala's attempt at cardcaptor sakura though, in which the sub outsold the dub....

I wonder if she does that. Hah :P
Most likely not, I am pretty sure Jagex is pretty focused on their work and I am pretty sure it is pretty fun. ^_^
More on topic, I just finished watching Naruto Shippuden a little while ago and I was found Pain's story pretty interesting. The only part that I felt sorry for was when the (SPOILER) dog died. I knew it was coming, but it still surprised me nonetheless.
Only two more days until another epic Bleach episode comes out! :D
And on another note, that is when I start school. XD
