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?

      The only reason I want to know where you from is because if you are not from the U.K, then why should you care what we in the U.K do or don't do? Racist I am not, I am fed up with the amount coming over here and feel they can come over here and think we need to support them. Do you know how much it costs this country to support these people coming over here? Even when we give them a place to live it is not good enough. We had a barge that was being used to house immigrants, oh but that was not good enough. A mate said to me at the time, when he was homeless, he would have been happy to live on the barge, instead of ending up sleeping on a bench on the beach. I am not scared to say what my family heritage is, unlike you who is scared to say where they are from or where they live. Father side U.S, mother side Wales, still have family living in the U.S. A mate who sadly died a few years ago, had a load of people from different races recording in his studio, I got on with all of them. Skin colour don't bother me, where they are from don't bother me. Religion don't bother me as long as they don't push it onto me and it is not crazy stuff. I am not religious. But if you are not living in the U.K, then why should you care if we are in the E.U or not? This the problem, too many people poking their noses into where it don't belong. But you believe what you believe, if you think I am racist, then be it, I really do not care. Just grow a pair

    • Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft released the newest preview update (C-release) under KB5095093. Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. For those who may not know, dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery process in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, which are also called Safe OS updates. The dynamic updates also affect the Setup file binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11. The company writes: "KB5095186: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, version 26H1: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.28000.2335. KB5102558: Setup Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to Windows setup binaries or any files that setup uses for feature updates in Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows 11, version 25H2. KB5095615: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.26100.8737." Microsoft notes that both the Recovery and Setup updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel.
