Just makin' a thread for when the episode airs. I haven't re-watched the original ep in a while soo... no synopsis or edit predictions from me this time. Sorry all.
Edit: Ah, o.k, I just watched the original Japanese episode. The series is in it's ending arc right now so you'll notice things are proceeding at a fast clip. Manta, personality wise, is mind numblingly cute in this episode.
SPOILERS! Note style!***
*Ryu's hair! It looks good down actually. It's fun how his hair changes this episode depending on his mood.
*Ren is stressed! How can you tell? he's drinking FOUR bottles of milk instead of his ussual 3 *laughs* ! Trying to drink his pains away I guess.
* This observance has more to do with the PATCH RP than anything else. It's mentioned in this episode that the Great Spirits have "fallen silent". In other words, official battles have seem to stopped. Because of this, Shamans seem to have a lot of free time...
* Internet Manta! Sort of. For some reason I find the reactions of everyone to be pretty hilarious when Manta's computer stops working. Anna rings a bell proclaiming the computer dead. And everyone starts praying for the deceased *laughs*.
* The X-laws are pretty nice to Lyserg this episode... Meene in particular.
* Manta's attempt to cheer up Ryu is great. Manta starts trying trying to imitate Ryu ^^;. When it doesn't work and Manta gets depressed it is a wonderful moment of cuteness. Manta's presence gives everyone else strength ^^ . .... and then he gets kindnapped.... Which leads us to...
*BONDAGE MANTA! Which eventually leads us to a reaperance of....
* SHAMAN Manta!
*towards the end of the episode, I kind of think the Yoh group got caught a bit too easily ^^; . Ah well, we have to wrap this series up soon right? ***
EDIT2: The "next episode preview" for this episode is great. It's serious for pretty much the whole thing. So much so, that Manta comments on it.
"We've been getting serious previews lately..."
That line always makes me chuckle.

Ah, so nive to see Shaman King back!
Well, this was a pretty good ep.
Though the bell was cut, everyone did still mourn the dead lappy.
MANTA IS SO ADORABLE!! I just thought I'd say that.
What I don't understand is that we get a huge closeup of Marco's gun but Lyserg still has that funnel.
Boy, Manta needs to work on increasing his furyoku. XD
I thought Hao was going to be more pissed off than that. He was really, well, up until he got to Jeanne.
Shamash has a tail! And, yes, the did get caught way to easily. Think, guys!
Well, Shaman King has returned.

Pretty good episode, just, a few coments I guess... I really liked all of the voices today. (except Yoh's scream in the preview) The biggest surprise was the Big X-law's voice. It was pretty cool sounding, creepy, and X-law-ish, very nice. All the normal voices were fine aswell, Rio actually had some nice, creative (if silly) lines. Tokagero was also really consistant. *applauds everyone* Jeanne was also pretty consistant, nice and creepy, and, a good voice in my opinion. After watching One Piece, the difference in quality was astounding. I mean, acting, script, even sound quality. Also, they kept in a gunshot sound with Lyserg's gun. My last comment will be this. There were SO many Gundam moments here. Well, about 3 or 4 XD - Lyserg attacking Rio: Lyserg: Shining Finger!!!!! >_> - All the giant mechs and giant Amidamaru looked kinda weird aswell... - And then of course, Bason-Gundam even did the face mask mechanical thing. Brilliant! XD. Things seem to be heating up! >_> (pun) ( Oh by the way, I didnt mention that, I loved Zeke in thie episode. I would say Hao, but, I don't think Zeke has the humour or lovely voice that Hao does. I mean that "Gotchya!" when SoF grabbed Jeanne was awesome! And I just love his tone when talking to Opacho. XD *gets killed by Hao purists*)

For some reason, the BGM REALLY annoyed me in this episode.
And the funnel returned! X3 I couldn't resist laughing whenever it appeared on the screen.
I also couldn't resist singing the 'Schnappi" song when Hao appeared at the end. o.o

Ah yes, let us mourn the loss of Manta's computer. *moment of silence* I didn't really notice the Gundam moments, though. Sad, I remember the "shining finger".
And it's always funny watching Ren drinking milk. Don't ask why. XD

Okay... lot to say here.... - Gomen nasai, Lovely-sama, but it was a lot more than 4. After showing four, there were 8 bottles on the table, and we can assume that he actually stopped at nine...
- And I quote "Dearly beloved, the laptop is dead. I actually stood up and screamed "AGH! HE SAID DEAD!!!"
- Funnel Gun!!! It's so horrible...
- "Morty, a 'wiggling worm'" Uh, Lyserg???
- This was one of those episodes where Faust's torso was briefly "Un-blue."
- The Babylon thingy is SO a transmutation circle...
- Marco's glasses are shiny!!! XD
- Lyserg, to Morty; "I'll catch him!!!" Like Lyserg cared. He just didn't want the plan ruined.
- Morty's Italian accent did NOT sound Italian. More like a very bad fake Indian.
- "Rise, Mash!" Jeanne, tha's Faust's line.
- In the birdcage of doom: "Be scared somewhere else!" Yeah Len, like he had a choice..."
- They kept Manta's "Cute girl in a bikini" line...
4Kids fourth of July special... -Love how a majority of Japanese characters were celebrating American Independance day... -Luffy singing "And the ramparts we watched... I'm still laughing... What a beautiful voice... XD Next episode of Shaman King: [glow=red,2,300]"A WHOLE LOT OF SCREAMING!!!"[/glow] Aw, man! I don't wanna miss that!

OMGOMGOMGOMGWTFFREAKINGBBQWAFFLE!!!!!!! *o* NYA~
As i said in my LJ, mankin returned with a bang! ^^
This episode, was just freaking pwnage. Ha, it was actually good to see the dub again, to be able to make fun of it. X3 Psh, Zeke.
XD When you first saw the funnel, i pointed and shouted ": D Funnel!"
LYSERG!! X3 So cute~!
Whee, my head is so spinny and excited right now that's pretty much all i have to say. I might have more later @_@
...Oh yeah, XD Jeanne is on fire!
>>; That makes me laugh for some reason. I'm a Jeanne fan too.
...Marco can fly :3

And I quote "Dearly beloved, the laptop is dead. I actually stood up and screamed "AGH! HE SAID DEAD!!!" I noticed that too and i thought it was really funny. Now i think it's only ok to say an item is dead, not a person. people in 4kids-land can't die, they can only be destroyed.

Oh I forgot to say... 4kids is changing American history:
"John Hancock's signature is big so that the King didn't have to use his glasses!" "Wasn't that nice of him!"
What the...??!!
Unless years of American history teachers have lied to my face, John Hancock did that to make fun of the King, basically smirking and saying that the King wouldn't have to get off his fat butt and put on glasses.
You go, 4Kids...
Oh, yes, and as an added thought;
"Send in your baby pictures!!!"
Al Kahn, you pedophile... those poor children...

What I don't get is why the hell Lyserg has to have some funnel-blunderbuss-airhorn thing and Marco still gets to use an actual handgun. Or, at least a gun that has the color of a gun and looks like a gun. I'm suprised they didn't change the look of Marco's weapon. On another note, with all the anime characters singing patriotic tunes, I'm somehow convinced that not only is 4kids trying to hide the fact that most of the shows are from Japan, but it seems to me in a way that theyre trying to trying to get away with plagarisim without it exactly being plagairism.... Just a weird and random thought...
