Yep there is a Stage 4. Just hoping they make a Stage 5.

I like Naruto but not a fan of the English dub, but thats just me though. I'm a fan of Hayao Miyazaki (Lupin III, Nausicaa, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, etc).

...Howl's Moving Castle...
Did people actually like that movie? I couldn't get into it...

I liked Samurai Champloo if anyone want to check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvqLhwYBENs

Death Note was ok until it started getting overcomplicated

Wangan Midnight is a bit, ummmm, well there is a magical car in it.

Keroro Gunsou was amusing for the first few episodes but then took its tongue out of its cheek :w00t:

Ebichu is fantastic, I can't recommend it highly enough

ive just finished watching Claymore and Historys strongest disciple.

Both were aired here in Tokyo and both were excellent series.

Claymore was unreal.

i can tell you where the mother lode of anime is by website if your interested. basically anything and everything that hasnt been licensed is available.

PM me for details.

?? youve lost me.

what post?

by the way, Laurence...your S14 would have to be the most sorry sad condition ive ever seen one in..

id love to have one just like it! :(:);)

I dont understand the above post lol...

But i watch a buttload of anime... infact i like anime before cars. have about 300gb, most of it being modern anime... made in the last 5-10 years... except for Flame of Recca, Teknoman and the entire Astroboy Series...

from memory im currently watching:

Bamboo Blade

Zombie Loan

Hell Girl (1st Season)

Bokurano

Genshiken (1st Season)

Kakkaishi

Kenichi

PeaceMaker Kurogane

Naruto (Ofcourse, i wonder if it can get slower?)

Bleach (thinking of dropping as its getting boring...)

Gundam 00

Shakugan no Shana

D.Gray-Man

Blue Dragon

and a favourite at the moment that really stands out,

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagaan (finished airing but waiting for HQsubs by Black-Order)

A guy at work has given me a few series:

Lovely Complex

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei

School Days

Sumomomo Momomo

Ergo Proxy (meh...)

One Piece (about 250+ eps...)

Shaman King

and 2 others but i cant remember the names...

And just recently watching an all time favourite anime FullMetal Alchemist... seriously great anime...

Also just finished Devil May Cry... not so good... abit of a let down to the games but meh whatever...

got alot more at home but i cant remember everything... the above's just what ive got at work... and ive never been to a "LAN party" where anime is supposedly exchanged...

I dont watched dubbed anime... dubs are the devil i think... pretty much all of its fansubbed except for the AstroBoy and TeknoMan collections...

Aaaaaaand i bet by now you all think i wear my pants up to my belly button with suspenders and bigass bifocles... lol...

Loved em both. Claymore was one of those anime that struck me from the typical stuff I've seen. Though I'd say I was kinda disappointed with the ending (at least the manga is still going, but very slowly :D ). Though I still want more from History's Strongest Disciple :) Hope theres still more to come from it

Some other anime series some of you might like/dislike is:

- Fruits Basket

- Love Hina

- Chobits

- Byousoku 5 Centimeter (don't get the 1 episode one thats 30 mins long, it's in 3 episodes)

- Berserk

- GunGrave

- AIR TV

- Ah! My Goddess

Wangan Midnight is a bit, ummmm, well there is a magical car in it.

Doesn't compare much to Initial D. I kinda liked it, but it at least made me appreciate 240z's a little more :P

I heard Claymore is abit generic? ive got it all but not sure if its any good to watch, someone told me it was pretty average... i havent even watched the 1st ep yet...

Fruits Basket is a classic, one of my favourites, they shouldve continued the anime...

Love Hina was great but i watched it aaaages ago... never watched the second season...

Thankyou Beer Baron, you have restored my faith in the human race.

Dubs aren't really the devil, they are either good or bad, unfortunately they are mostly bad.

Done well I think they are the best way to watch anime, unless you can understand Japanese well.

The thing that does impresses me though is the astounding quality of some fansubs out there!

Some people put an incredible amount of effort into it.

M3gtr please share this information with me!

Ok so everyone knows work computers suck, so i cant actually pm you or even post a thread without my internet shutting down, its an illigal operation apperantly??

So if you could possibly pm me (if that works) or email it to me thatd be heaps better

[email protected]

Cheers, mick

Currently woring my way through bleach. I think it's pretty bloody good. Though at 100 odd episodes long i think it will be hard to keep up the enthusiasm. I'm at about 50 atm.

I've watched the first 4 midnight Wangan and i'm not too impressed. Makes me want to get a 240z though as the car's are detailed well.

Full metal alchemist is worth a watch, though again it's a big series at about 50 eps + a movie. Atm i think bleach tops it but we'll see once i finish.....

Afro samurai is a definately worth watching.

Zombie loan i haven't gotten into yet, same with devil may cry.

Whats the vampire one called again. Hellsing? It just sort of stops at episode 13 or there abouts. Not the greatest.

One of my mates has just got his hands on Naruto so i'll probably get that soon as well.

I will have to have a look for claymore and historys greatest disciple and see what they are like.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
