Man, absolutely ****ing epic that was (episode 202 of Bleach) :|, Kenpachi's sheer power was immense and he had time to throw some snide comments in :D

Contained backstory as well about how Kenpachi learned Kendo, that was a nice touch. Great background music as well (Y) (not a fan of the new ED song though).

Radish?

Amazon for new things and long long hours spent on ebay.

That's a really impressive collection. I see Initial D in there. They really need to make Stage 5 already.

Anyways, I've been trying to get a collection going but it's pretty meager right now. It's to much money, sadly.

*goes off to watch Bleach 202*

[Neo003]

Just on the side note there are way more anime fans then I first thought. :o

[RadishTM Veteran]

First episode of RideBack was really good, animation was flawless - top notch work by Madhouse.

I'm gonna like this series methinks.

Radish?

[Neo003]

You're right it was really good animation, storywise for me it's too soon to tell.

[shakey]

Bleach 202, niiiice. Kenpachi has his own Sephiroth music lol. That fight was just epic. Roll on with the rest of em :)

[Neo003]

From the ending look's like after the next episode or 2 maybe we'll see the "turn back the pendulum". I can't wait to see nano :blush:

BTW anyone think that ichigo or his father might be the king or his father might be one of the royal guard.

[Matrix XII]

Great ep last night, Kenpachi just rocks.

Even Nnoitra was getting confused how he kept fighting after getting hit so many times. I love that about Kenpachi!

[+shift. MVC]

KENPACHI!!!!!

From what I see from the episode names on Wikipedia, there might be a few episodes of filler and then it's the Turn Back The Pendulum arc.

[Matrix XII]

Oh no! I don't want any filllers :(

At least Bleach fillers are better than Naruto ones. I thought by the ending of last nights ep that Ichigo may go with Ulquiorra for a rematch soon. I hope it ends up better this time :p

[+shift. MVC]

Here are the next four episode names including the one from 202.

202 "Fierce Fighting Conclusion! Who's the Strongest?"

"Gekitō kecchaku! Saikyō wa dare da" (激闘決着！最強は誰だ) January 13, 2009

203 "Karakura Town Gathers! Aizen Versus Shinigami"

"Karakura-chō ni shūketsu! Aizen tai shinigami" (空座町に集結！藍染対死神) January 20, 2009

204 "Ichigo's Stomach-cutting Persuasion Strategy"

"Ichigo no seppuku settoku sakusen" (一護の切腹説得作戦☆) January 27, 2009

205 "Thump! The Football Tournament of Hollows"

"Doki! Horō darake no kemari taikai" (ドキ！虚だらけの蹴鞠大会) February 3, 2009

206 "The Past Chapter Begins! The Truth from 110 Years Ago"

"Kako hen kaishi! 110 nen mae no shinjitsu" (過去編開始！１１０年前の真実) February 10, 2009

Looks like 204 is going to be a filler, or that episode title is extremely misleading. :p

[Matrix XII]

Football tournament of hollows? eek that has to be filler :laugh:

At least there isn't a week off for a while.

[Advent]

Oh no! I don't want any filllers :(

At least Bleach fillers are better than Naruto ones. I thought by the ending of last nights ep that Ichigo may go with Ulquiorra for a rematch soon. I hope it ends up better this time :p

Wondering if he'll last more than 3 hits next time he fights. /Unlquiorra fan.

^Manga spoiling pplz, don't even say anything...Naruto was almost ruined thanks to them >.>

Rev.

[Elessar]

No, what's it about?

It's subbed right? Personally I dislike dubbed anime. I only watched subbed :p

I prefer dubbed simply because i want to enjoy the animation rather than reading and potentially missing out on things. I'll watch both. Kurokami is subbed, but it's also being released hours after the Japanese airing here in the states on ImaginAsian.

[Matrix XII]

I'm just so used to reading subs I don't miss out on the animation haha

Thanks for the recommendation (Y)

[Azusa]

Oh if anyone is interested i made a list of anime I have seen a while back first 100 or so aren't in any real order but here it is anyway.

anime_iv_seen.txt

[Weld_El_7aj]

there'll be any Naruto manga these week? or we have to wait till the next?

and Yuri, that list is impressive, i thought i watched many animes but comparing to you, i'm a novice hehe

[Neo003]

^ no naruto or bleach this week cause of holiday in japan. So it's next week now, but the good news is shippuden 92 is out :drool: .

[The Watcher]

Naruto manga will be out today or tommorow.

[Weld_El_7aj]

thanks watcher for the info, so I'll have to wait a little more,

and about Shippuden, i don't watch the anime, it's too long for me (as are One Peace & Bleach). but thanks anyway Neo.

and a little reflection, why are all the manga and anime in one only Thread, it's a bit weired IMHO but well, Mods know better.

[Neo003]

Actually it's better than nothing, I know like few months ago we didn't even had this thread. If someone posted something related to anime, it went unanswered for ages. And my bad for the info on jump, I forgot they usually come out on thursday or friday.

Also toradora 15 is out if anyone's interested.

[shakey]

Unlike Tv shows, Manga and Anime are really wide spread and unique, and to really make a bajillion threads for each one would be too time consuming to jump between. We just sort of figured this would be easier.

Ooo naruto 92 is out, need to get off of work to watch now :)

[Azusa]

Anyone else here got an account for Nico video?

[Matrix XII]

What a list Yuri! (Y)

I can't wait for Naruto 92, although it's probably going to be Naruto arguing with that frog the whole time =/

@Weld - Neo and Shakey are right, we've only had this thread since November and it's really taken off. I never saw an anime/manga thread on Neowin that lasted for more than a few days in almost 5 years here. This thread is great because it's one giant thread to ask/answer questions in and it gets bumped so often, then you don't have tons of small threads dying all the time.

I'll get my anime list soon, it's no where near yuri's tho :p

[+shift. MVC]

New BLEACH manga should be out tonight. Same with Naruto.

The Japanese holiday was last week, and chapter 340 was released about 3 days early. So we've been without the manga for a while now.

I think I'm having withdrawal symptoms.

Anyone else watch Gundam 00?
