Spiral...what does everyone think?

Postby pandywandy » Mon Jan 31, 2005 11:07 am

I've been kinda interested in checking out Spiral. But I have a thing with certain anime, so it can't have all that sexual content and cursing and magic/occult/witchcraft, etc.
I've been kinda hesitant since seeing all that "closeness" between the two main characters, or it just may be fans like to make up yaoi-ish assumptions. x.x
Can anyone (or everyone! XD) give their opinions, and even a description of it? I appreciate it tons!

P.S. - I'm 245'd...are YOU?! NARUTO CHAPTER 246, BRING IT!!11! XDXD

I'm interested in checking this one out but haven't yet. So I too would appreciate any reviews those who have seen it can offer.

I've seen the first volume of Spiral, and I really like it. I don't know how deep it gets into things, though, so you'll probably wanna wait for a few more opinions. :brow:


The choice has been made. There's no looking back. I won't let up, back up, give up, or shut up. My focus clear. My path is straight. My God, reliable. I'm a disciple of Christ.

Gods plan is like the sun. its too big and bright to look at directly, and sometimes the rain clouds cover it, but sometimes the plan dapples through the clouds and we can see beautiful glimpses of what he has in store for us.

There has been a couple review requests for this series. If I remember correctly, MyrrhLynn has seen it.

I saw the whole series a while ago, from what I remember there was no fanservice or anything objenctoinelle. Though I warn you if you choose to watch this series their will be one of the biggest cliffhangers ever.....there's no ending and the questions that are raised during the anime are never answered.
happy go luck monkey!

Oh, that stinks.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Heh, heh. I have a friend who is addicted to the show. I'm going to start soon. That should be interesting.
