Re: Find the Berserk connections (Symbolism thread)

i was just reminiscing about simon's quest for the nes with a friend earlier today, and it struck me that the night/day mechanic in that game is pretty much identical to the first three years of gutts' branded life. right?

Re: ::Naruto::

Re: ::Naruto::

yeah, i have to say this chapter was actually sick for a change. i like how tsunade is totally confident that naruto will dispatch these jokers. this is the first time he's actually fought since he busted out his wind shuriken rasengan, if you forget about that garbage with madara in the woods, and ...

Re: ::Naruto::

is it just me or is sasuke's genjutsu too weak? of course the eight-tails guy said he can break any genjutsu, but it still seemed like it wasn't any different, or better, than itachi's. sasuke is a weiner, but i don't get how he can fight like a bad ass against deidara and itachi but just slop up sp...

Re: Find the Berserk connections (Symbolism thread)

found this http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com entry for covenant, hebrew berit . not trying to say the syrian beherit isn't legitimate. but probably they're from the same root, or one serves as the other's root. An agreement between two contracting parties, originally sealed with blood; a bond, or a ...

Re: ::Bleach::

Re: ::Naruto::

after reading 405 today i have to say i'm back on board with this manga. recently, i haven't been very happy with madara's constant exposition, and i began to wonder what is the author thinking... until granny tsunade cried. for me, this is the kind of moment that sets naruto apart. i mean, i don't ...

Re: Find the Berserk connections (Symbolism thread)

excuse if i'm backtracking a little. but i liked the religious discussions from page seven. it seems like miura's depiction of religion is that it's just a contsruct of man's subconscious, but that magic is real. i mean, he makes religions look like a joke at best and a horrible lie at least, but gl...
