Nabari No Ou

[Twirble]

Was there anyone out there as impressed with the first episode as I was? It struck me that it wasn't even subbed in English but I still found it much more enjoyable than anything else coming out this season. (except maybe Vampire Knight)

Here is Wikipedia's summary (people keep asking what it is about and their summary is better than mine)-

Set in the modern age, the story is about Rokujo Miharu, who just wanted to live a normal life and inherit a restaurant. At the moment, his biggest problem was the constant pestering from Kouichi Aizawa and Thobari Kumohira, who started a Nindō (忍道, Nindō? lit. "Way of the Ninja") Club. Miharu wanted nothing to do with "ninjas" and turns them down every time. But soon, he is attacked by an actual group of ninjas and is protected by Kouichi and Kumohira. There, Miharu learns of the hidden ninja world Nabari, the roles of his classmate and teacher in that world, and of the hijutsu Shinrabanshō (森羅万象, Shinrabanshō? lit. "all things in nature") within him. The hijutsu, containing all the world's knowledge, is sorely coveted after in Nabari. And because of that, Miharu cannot return to his normal life. He must become the "Ruler of Nabari" to survive.

Has it not been subbed yet? It looks good though, so I might end up giving the first episode a try.

[Twirble]

I can't believe it hasn't been subbed when I enjoy it this much. But then, I can't believe "Ghost Hound" doesn't have more of an audience either.

[Roda]

I think the sub is finally out. I'll give it a watch later.

EDIT: The first episode was great. I think I'll definitely keep up with this one

[Twirble]

The raw of the second episode is out, but it is pretty low-key one and won't be interesting without a sub.

(I am looking forward to episode 3)

[Roda]

Episode 2 was entertaining. The English teacher's fear of traveling is hilarious

[Twirble]

Haha, I loved that. The translation of what Miharu said on the train is different than the Manga though.

[Roda]

Episode 3 was ace. Yoite certainly is a scary fellow.

[Twirble]

I love Yoite...I broke down an read the Manga. (Up to 7, the rest I can only look at because it isn't translated.)

Manga Spoilers 1-8

Yoite and his friends supposedly kidnap Miharu, but it isn't translated so I am not exactly sure what happens. It looks like Yoite tries to kill Miharu but he just can't. They appear to become extreemly close later and Miharu seems to be trying to mother him, making him a scarf and trying over and over again to comfort him. (I don't know for sure that is just what it looks like). It's strange because sometimes Yoite and Miharu seem like enemies, others like they are just hanging out.

I'm going to try and resist the temptation of the manga

Episode 4 was a nice setup for the upcoming race for the other scrolls.

[Twirble]

One of the scanlators placed a call on Nabari Comm and now the scanlations are coming out like crazy.

Episode 5 is out...I love the fight with the two men in the end.

(really excited about episode 6 though)

[Roda]

Oh yeah, the fight between Thobari-sensei and the Fuma leader was funny.

If the manga gets really far ahead, I think I may be tempted into reading it.

I like this more than Naruto. Seems to me that their system is much more well thought out than Kishi's. I think Yuurisan did a sub of ep4...Veoh downloaded it from them.
