I won't have any suggestions for that as I don't watch One Piece :p

You see, I was one of those believers, until a friend forced it on me. I am definitely loving it now. The series is not stupid (as you may think it is) at all. Fights are incredible, and for the first time ever, I was hooked up to watch the series up until 3:00 a.m. (something that I don't usually do).

But your eyes are going to hurt on the first episodes.

And remember this, I didn't believe it at first when my friend told me, but, the drawing improves a lot throughout the series.

One Piece looks like loads of fun, I admit that. But I'm not a fan of anime series that go on forever. Bleach has also been recommended to me numerous times but I just couldn't bring myself to watch it. Dragon Ball Z was the first and last anime that went on forever that I watched :p

O man

the lack of bleach anime start to kill me :(

Agree, I like the Manga still releasing new ones, but lack of the anime is a very sad thing.

Been looking for a new one since, if anyone wants to suggest anything my fav animes so far have been Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Bleach, Code Geass, Full Metal Alchemist (the first one), Naruto in that order. not really interested in One Piece/Death Note/some other popular anime I can't remember the name of, but beyond that I'm interested in suggestions.

Basically anything with lots of action, preferably non-realistic (hate shows like pretty much all the Gundams, the mech-based combat is not my thing, but shows like Bleach and FMA are more my style of what type of combat I enjoy) and somewhat newer (I can't get into some of the non-realistic animes focused around demons, can't remember what they are called though). Any suggestions?

That being said I might check out the detective conan mentioned by Azusa, sounds like it might be interesting based on some of the comments but it doesn't sound like it's going to sate my bloodlust for action animes.

@rajputwarrior: You should also give Paprika a try, which is a great psychological anime. The original book of it was used as an inspiration for Inception as well. Should give you an idea of what Paprika is about: Dreams. Though very different than Inception of course.

Just finished watching Paprika. I somewhat liked it :p. I think I'll need to rewatch it to get it right. I think I was thinking too much of Inception. Really like the Ending, though.

Three words for resuming my experience with the movie:

super mind-fuq

:p.

Haha, well I did say that the original book was only an inspiration for Inception :p But yeah, it's one of those anime you'll have to rewatch to get it.

I liked this movie. A bit on the wild side but its great flick to watch. I might have to find my DVD and watch it again tonight.

Two Words Blue Gender!!!!

I just finished the blue gender about a week ago. You liked it? I found it drawn out and boring. The mech designs not so great and the blue ****ty design too.

Yeah, I tried watching it, and maybe it's because I only watched the first episode, but it seemed to focus too much on mech combat. The thing I liked about Code Geass, is while it did have mech combat, there was plenty of action outside of the mechs. Seemed really boring to me just going through the first episode of Blue Gender.

that is just the first 2-3 eps. After that there are no mechs again until the end. I finished the series but was not enjoying it.

Well it is one of the more adult Anim? like The Legend Of The Galactic Heroes and as for the design of the mechs The Armored Shrike is a piece of Military hardware it's not meant to be pretty it's not the big kiddy toy like Gundam and i liked that about them mainly cause they reminded me of something from WarHammer 40.000.

Perhaps Samurai Champloo could be something you'd like? Blade Of The Immortal and maybe even Cowboy Bebop and Trigun. The first 2 are anime with sword fighting (of course you could've figured that out by reading the titles, haha). The 2nd one is more about gunfights and intrigue. The last one is also more about gun fights.

Finished the first season of Darker than Black. Probably get through the second season over the weekend.

Anyone know any good anime themed podcasts? I used to listen to the Anime News Networks podcast, but usually there was only like 10 minutes of good banter between the hosts at the beginning followed by a boring hour-long interview with some minor player in the anime business and then emails that seemed to always resulted in them complaining about how piracy has hurt the industry.

I'm looking for some Anime.

I don't much care for TV shows (ala cartoon network), so Full Metal Alchemist wasn't

my bag, baby. Adult is fine.

Go!

P.S.

Kindly quote this when making suggestions so I can find your suggestions quicker. Thanks.

What genres do you like?

Darker than Black is kind of an action/mystery thing. Very episodic (not much continuity between episodes).

I talk about FLCL, Studio Ghibli films, and Next is Now and Then Here and There in this blog post.

I talk about Neon Genesis Evangelion, Toaru Majutsu no Index, and Ergo Proxy in this post.

So it seems I had completely forgotten to watch the 4th episode of Gundam Unicorm. This didn't strike me even while looking around for episode 5! On the plus side this means I have two episodes to watch back to back :D

^If you like Vexille's art style then you'll surely like Appleseed and Appleseed Ex Machina.

I should check out Appleseed too. Should I watch the OVA first or the Movie first? Or does the order not matter?

      I am not a US citizen nor a Trump fan. Respect to both left and right. But I will, for the sake of fun, predict something for my own. There will come a day when the US and China will collide like titans ( over Taiwan or anything else ). Then, on that day, some people in this comment section will realize how good an idea it was to become independent in areas like that. ( Or atleast try )
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen by Usama Jawad Microsoft Edge may not be the most popular browser out there, but it does receive quite frequent updates that sometimes bring surprising new features and axe others that are not as popular. Now, Microsoft has detailed some of the new security enhancements that it has introduced in Edge for Business, typically used by commercial customers. Microsoft has emphasized that security features are baked into Edge for Business and offer native integration with security and governance tools like Defender and Purview. Browser sessions are governed by default on managed devices but can also be governed through dedicated work profiles on unmanaged devices. An important aspect in this area is controlling the use of shadow AI. We have talked about this before, but it essentially restricts employees from using unsanctioned AI apps through data loss prevention (DLP) policies, with Edge redirecting them to trusted AI services like Microsoft 365 Copilot. This feature, available as a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) license, ensures that confidential data never exits AI boundaries set by your organization in Purview. Additionally, Microsoft also has strong DLP policies for contractors. Contractors leveraging a Entra ID-joined work profile provisioned by their contracting company on a device managed by their actual employer can be restricted from downloading files locally. In such scenarios, the file is saved on the contracting firm's OneDrive rather than being downloaded locally. Another useful Edge security feature disallows copying and pasting from unmanaged locations and apps. Similarly, DLP policies can be configured at a granular level to restrict screenshots or downloading of files from certain locations. In the same vein, IT admins can block the installation of extensions, hosted apps, themes and scripts, and control if users can install extensions from external locations. They can also enable the installation of specific extensions and allow users to request access to certain extensions, so that they can be managed on a case-by-case basis. Finally, Edge for Business now has an on-device AI model that uses computer vision to see what's on your screen and block potentially malicious content immediately. This does not rely on site reputation, as it simply monitors what is being displayed on your screen, which means that it is effective against malicious content that takes over your screen and employs scareware tactics. Since this is an on-device AI model, it does use your system's resources, so it's enabled by default only on devices with at least 2GB of RAM and four CPU cores. You can find more details in the Microsoft Mechanics video here.
