[Official] Anime/Manga Thread


Recommended Posts

I started One Piece last night, watched 6 or so, I can see myself getting into it :p

It's good, but after watching 300+ straight episodes of it you realize there is a lot of "fluff" in the show to drag it out more and more. Now, I haven't read the manga so I don't know if there is filler story arcs in it like there is for Naruto and Bleach, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

It's why there is so much unneeded boring parts and as was mentioned earlier nearly a 5 minute recap at the start of every single episode. By the time you count out the 2-3 minutes for the opening and ending credits and the recap you're left with not very much show to watch..and that's not to mention the other recaps that they actually have during the show as well. Thinking back to something that happened 2 minutes ago..

Yeah there will probably be a lot of dragging it out, but I don't mind that, as I've said earlier I watched all the Naruto filler, so I think I should be okay for One Piece :p

I can see there are going to be some big battles coming up which is what I want. I've been watching story driven anime lately, I need some good fighting lol

Alright everybody, Bleach comes out tonight, ready for some epic battles? hehe

I wonder who's fight they are going to focus on tonight, my money would be Kenpachi's. I have a feeling a certain eyepatch is coming off at some point during the battle, it would be cool if we could see a technique that Kenpachi hasn't used before. Then again, he's basically brute strength :p

On another note, I'm on ep 13 of One Piece already, I'm starting to find out why there are 389 eps, they are totally sidetracked from their main quest already lol.. It's a show that's basically one long adventure, unless I'm mistaken. I was looking for an anime to watch like that, I bet it wont take me too long to catch up to current.

Tonight will finish off the first fight we saw most of last episode, then we will get hopefully the full fight of the 2 science guys. If not, it will end at a part im sure will just **** me off. Tonights fight is the one ive been looking forward to seeing in animation for quite some time. The Superhuman poison :)

Kenpachi will use kendo because of the injuries he has in battle. If you haven't read the manga already.

Radish?

I haven't read any of the manga actually, I really only watch anime.

Perhaps one day I'll get into it, I heard 'Berserk' has a good manga, a couple of my friends had read it.

Mayuri's fight will be interesting, I wonder what he has up his sleeve..

Man, the first 7 minutes of episode 198 was a recap of the last episode! :pinch:

Half the episode itself was about Byakuya's fight, the last half was Mayuri's fight - which was bloody awesome with Szayel's slow death about to start with some comedy thrown in by Mayuri himself as well as his Bankai :laugh:

Radish?

Ok, after watching it, that episode was done very nicely. The recap was a little long, but wasnt bad. The other captains fight was just as it was in the manga, with barely any deviation. I can only see this getting better and better. The music was also top notch. And that line Kuchiki said, " When did I say I was going to kill you as a shinigami? I must kill you because you pointed a sword at my pride.", just great.

Radish, that sig is sweeet. Whats a good program that can capture video screens? because I know of some great scenes on kenpachis fight that will make for some good avatars/sigs.

recaps are good when they are far into a story and there has been a break, but I think right now we all get whats going on. I'm scared of how much recap there could be when they finally start getting into the main captains battles outside. If in the manga it seems like its lasting forever, the recaps will be full episodes lol.

I hate that, they have barely 30 min and in the 30 min 10 are almost recap of the last episode not to mention the intro and the ending.

Also look's like bleach anime is getting close to manga, I heard somewhere that they're making different episodes starting January. Is it true.

There could be possible filler coming up, as the manga really hasnt moved as far as I think they hoped during the last filler. I just hope what ever they do, its something good.

Man, I enjoyed that episode, but that recap was starting to upset me.

You barely have enough time to show new stuff let alone recaps from like 10 eps ago. I like how Mayuri was just playing with everyone lol

Oh well, back to watching One Piece :p

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
