OMG! OMG! I laughed so hard with these four! I just can't wait to see the next captions!!! It'll be hard to pick a winner, that's for sure...

Any anime or movie can't be as deep as a book (or an entire book series), obviously. I understand your feeling but I still feel it's too bad you can't appreciate the series for what it is in itself. I can assure you that it's really really good! ;) It's true that there is not that much humor in it ...

Thanks for the PM, Jeffbert. Here goes one I found long time ago and tried to put on "Picture the caption":



It's so funny that I decided to post it here!

The anime doesn't end with Oscar's death. We're going a few years after the revolution, and Alain, Rosalie and I believe Bernard remember Oscar together, and Rosalie tells how she remained close to Marie-Antoinette until she died, and how Marie-Antoinette wanted her to talk about Oscar. It's not ve...

New trivia: Rosalie actually existed, too!!! The real Rosalie was called Rosalie Lamorlière (and not "La Moriere"), and as shown in the manga (not in the anime, which ends with Oscar's death. The manga goes on for a full volume until Marie-Antoniette's execution) she was the queen's chambermaid duri...

There's another interesting note: Remeber Jean de La Motte, Rosalie's sister? She actually existed, however she didn't die, but fled to England and got to be a memeber of London's jet-set and a successful writer (with no actual talent, but...) and died two years before Marie-Antoniette from an accid...

[QUOTE=fafner;74543]I would guess that's because "Marie-Antoinette" can't be pronounced in Japanese. The sound "toi" ("t-wa") doesn't exist, in opposition to "to-n-i-e". Makes sense, thanks. :cool: I watched an episode with the opening and closing credits. I'm not sure I had ever made it until the ...

Has anyone else read volume 23?

No, but I'm looking forward to see it. Hopefully, it will appear on Februuary 2008 in my country.

Today I have discovered the funniest Astroboy sequence I've seen to date. Volume 19 of the manga has been published today in Spain, and on the "Return of Astro" story, I've seen the best succession of slapstick I've ever seen on an Astroboy manga or anime. It's a sequence full of black humour, as we...

This is... Er... Well... Hmmm... Ahhh... ZRSPN HM ANMCZFD!!! [As this is a family-friendly forum, I've put what I've seen in a secret code. Solve it for yourselves. It's quite easy]. Edit: Almost forgot: Uncle Ataru-kun a.k.a "Darling" reccomends NOT to look to this image if you don't want to get am...
