Oh, I guess there's another thing in my collection I didn't realize was rare to find. Incomplete as it is, I'm happy to have them. I kind of like Blue Water's dub of Full Moon o Sagashite, at least with Katie Rowan leading, though it has its weak spots. Wish I still had Fancy Lala in my collection too.
It probably was. The reason I think so is that there were changes to the English staff credits on Hulu (when it was there) in the mid-40's, and those were tasks that would be specific to an English dub (like "Recording Engineer"). |

Those two eras are so close that the only major change would have been the switch to digital occurring. Galaxy Angel, for example, still looks wholly 90s, so you still had a ton of straggler designs. |

I'd like to propose that this particular Pile of Shame not be called that, but try the alternative title of 'Pile of Disappointment' or 'Pile of Sadness' perhaps.
Just throwin' it out there. Nice little read up, glad to have informed myself on this title. Too bad it seems like it didn't have the guts to maybe hit kids with a less happy go lucky and ideal scenario within the story and ending, but hey, I guess you could say that's just... How shoujo/kids shows... handle it? |

Gah I did not even realize it was not streaming where have I been!!??
I liked the manga but the show was a little long so I procrastinated watching it. Darn. I know that this show was made when the manga was in the way early stages, but I wouldn't mind a shorter version that's maybe twenty-six episodes. Nonetheless, the manga is pretty good even though it does wallow in the melodrama. I personally do like Tanemura's art, and at only seven volumes it was not too much of a time and money commitment. The ending was bittersweet but I wanted it a little more bitter. Of course this is for kids so I don't think they could have gone much farther than they did. |

Is it really that difficult for people to realize that the title of the column means that Justin feels "shame" (or "ashamed, if you want) that he never saw the anime he's talking about previously in his life as an anime fan? The first time I ever saw the "Pile of Shame" name that was the first thing that came to mind: Justin is talking about stuff he never saw before, and he's ashamed to admit it. I really thought that people were over this (unwarranted) confusion, but I guess all it takes is people to have a smidgen of worry that a favorite title of theirs is going to be talked about in a potentially negative fashion solely because of the word "shame", huh? Anyway, back on topic, Full Moon is something I've heard a lot of positive talk about, and I've enjoyed the little I've read from Arina Tanemura (all of Jeanne & a few volumes of Gentleman's Alliance Cross), so maybe one day I'll check this out. Maybe if it ever got license rescued I'd give it a buy. |

I'm saying this without reading the article yet, but I didn't enjoy the anime version of FM at all. The dub was definitely bad and I only bought one volume because it was very inferior to the manga. I feel the same about the D.Gray Man anime too.

I think I like the Full Moon manga best of all Tanemura's works, and I love the music for the anime so much that I still often play it to this day. (I especially like the version of SMILE sung by Tanemura.) I liked the anime well enough that I imported the second half, and the OST CDs.
Wasn't Full Moon in the same time period as works like Socrates in Love and Be With You? Maybe there was something in the air. |

The eponymous "pile of shame" is the stack shows he has never gotten around to watching, but probably should have, not the shows themselves. The point of the column is to dig into that pile and tell us what he thinks, good, bad, or otherwise. |

So if one were only to read the manga OR watch the anime, which way should I go? Thanks. Considering the last two volumes of the anime are hard to get... dammit.

I really enjoyed this series back in 2002. I was saddened the manga was still going and had better back stories for the shinigami and other things.
Still remember some asshole on msn ruining the major plot point at episode 5.

I completely agree that this should be on the Pile of Shame. As a super fan of the original manga, I hated this anime. Both the budget and the lack of wait for the original manga (it was 7 volumes ! Wait till there were 5!!) were the nail in the coffin. The manga was a masterpiece... The anime? Not so much. It sugar-coats the original story so much I can't describe.

I agree. Justin never got around to watching this anime & finally watched it & removed the "shame" of having never-Oh, wait.
You're just misinterpreting the title of the column in the opposite way other people did, huh? |

@Graceful Nanami
Read the manga. It has the complete story. Even if you find the last two volumes of the anime that is only 28 of 52 episodes of the complete anime. If Viz or someone else ever releases all of the anime, it has a different ending. When Viz first started issuing the anime, I remember reading that they set it up for 52 episodes based on her having only a year to live at the beginning of the series. |
