You won’t find a manga with Catholic themes. Hellsing is full of blasphemy. You may want to try Trinity Blood as it’s reasonably neutral towards the Christian faith. You could also try Ghost Hunt. It has a Buddhist priest, a Shinto priest and a Catholic priest in it. They do treat the Catholic guy respectfully and his prayers often stop the ghosts. They don’t treat the Shinto Shrine maiden very nicely though.
) Maybe I should now focus on Katekyo, Ao no Exorcist, and maybe even get back to D.Gray-man… 
The Ao no Exorcist anime was pretty good. There was zero fan service or anti-Catholicism in it, so I don’t expect that the manga has any either. It started off pretty good too, poking fun at anime tropes, but then sort of went on to embrace them
If you are in the U.S. I believe you should be able to watch the entire series here:I just picked this up on GamersGate since I wanted a DRM-free version. I almost paid 90 bucks for an import version years ago, I’m glad this is out now in English.
Can’t play it yet cause I’m on the road for the next month, and I only have a MacBook.SOMEONE doesn’t have aspirations in EA or Shonen magazine me is thinking
. Both have a bad habit of milking series dry (and the anime is even worse. 100 episode filler arc of Naruto no thanks). I mean they are running out of enemies here for Bleach (seriously I am expecting Aizen to pop back up at some point).The heroine of the Hundred Years War between France and England. Joan, who was driven insane after being burned at the stake, now desires nothing more than to see the world burn. As an Ends- with her Christian crosses now upside down - she has manifested the ability to manipulate fire. Surprisingly, she seems to be self-conscious of her (lacking) femininity, though this could be another result of her insanity. In Chapter 24, Joan is defeated by Toyohisa in battle; however, she is able to flee the scene alive due to Toyohisa's personal vow to never kill a woman.Me too. Renji (I think) even said at one point during the last arc that he’s been training to fight Aizen.
! But I fully intend to continue buying Naruto. I’ve got the entire Dragon Ball series and I’ve got the Saiyan Saga of the Dragon Ball Z series (manga). The only reason I don’t read DBZ on the 'net is because they’ve flipped them pages in their scans which I despise .The anime Battle Programmer Shirase actually thanks fansubbers in its last episode.I stay up to date on Naruto and Bleach by following the weekly scanlation releases. When I first started reading manga, I started with Bleach. I bought the first four volumes (I’m away that they were quite small). I then discovered the scanlations and started reading them on the internet.
I’m not on volume 25 of Bleach in my collection. Reading them online has not stopped me from purchasing the released volumes, though not as fast as I would like to do so (and even then, there’s only 36 our of 50 volumes released in the Anglosphere). I’ve got access to scanlations, and read them, and it hasn’t stopped me spending around 200$ on Bleach alone.
I’m only on volume 8 of Naruto in my collection even though I’ve read the entire series on scanlation. That’s because it’s hard trying to divide up your cash on all the wonderful series out there
So if you’re going to continue supporting the manga writers, I don’t really see a problem with reading online. Or at the very least, read on sites that only publish weekly scans and delete them after a while, so that you’re staying up to date with the chapters that will take ages to be published where you are.
For anime… a lot of series have been made available on the internet for free by FUNimation, etc. The entire Dragon Ball Z collection for example. However their official website doesn’t let my region view it (UK). Which is ridiculous to me. Can one really say I’m wrong for watching the exact same product on a different site even when FUNimation themselves have made it public… just not for people in the UK? So it’d be okay if I lived in the states but it’s immoral, I’m going to hell and depriving the workers of a living if I watch it with a UK internet connection? I don’t think so!
So stick with products not licensed in your region or that have already been made public. Or again, if you fully intend to purchase the product at a later date.
That’s where the English language fails.In case anyone wonders, the “you” in my post above is not aimed at anyone specifically, it’s just you as “one” or any given person or an onlooker.
Well, I wasn’t trying to condemn anyone with my comment (I mean, I used to do watch fansubs a lot).
True. And without fansubs you’d buy NONE of that for you wouldn’t even know this anime thing exists. However you’d be spending more of that cash on Hollywood blockbusters. Oh alternative entertainments from other regions are things Hollywood and Music industries would love to stop too. Doing ACTA/SOPA will allow them to do that too. You’re buying those J-POP songs when you could be buying Britney Spears. Can’t have that.
SOPA and ACTA (as well as Protect IP) are some of the things I was getting at with my comments on copyright, just neglected to mention them.
Well I certainly like the discussion you just opened up. It’s a shame I can’t contribute anything more than what has been said. The thing about piracy is that it’s one of those few issues where I’m not on the side of the business world (despite my current job putting me smack dab into it). You can say I’m with Tenovir on this one in that I really don’t like how corporations these days are exhibiting a copyright hog attitude.
Big time.
Well, in buying that $5 to make yet probably costing $80+ figure you will contribute about $75 to the anime copyright holder. This is one way piracy is contributing to the profits of copyright holders.
