you see that's where a lot of people go wrong with Eva they over think everything when in reality it's just another mecha anim?.

Evangelion is as much a mech anime as Moby-Dick is a book about fishing. It had mechas in it, yes, but it was certainly not a series about them. Just look at the last 2 episodes if you have any doubt.

Just looking at it as a mech alone, it's absolutely awful. 17 battles in the entire series, most without any real action. Most of the sci-fi mysteries and questions were left unanswered in favor of a finale that revolved exclusively around the psychological state of the main characters. As a result, the plot is left unfinished in regard to the mech/sci-fi side of Evangelion.

That?s not to say that it?s a bad story (psych student?s probably go wild over it). Personally, it left a bad taste in my mouth.

After hearing so much about Clannad and Clannad After Story, I started watching it. I have to say I like Clannad but the second season Clannad After Story was really good and bad. Last couple of episodes reminds me of My Girl manga.

The whole story is beautiful in its own way, it's one of my top ten anime of all times.

I would imagine he would die and then Inoue says "Ichigo..." in a low voice and all of a sudden he bursts back to life :/. Crossing my fingers for something new atleast!

or another shingami that we haven't heard of for a while will stand in front of him and block it. I hope they do something different too.

I would like to see how ichigo turns this battle around. I wouldnt be suprised if he ends up dieing, and maybe Ino just goes beserk and totally rejects Ulq into nothing lol. That would be something pretty cool. But there is no way Ichigo is winning this fight.

I have waited for CLANNAD (and, of course, After Story) since the little preview at the end of Kanon 2006.

It's worth the wait. :)

Now, this is awesome:

"According to the official website, Azuma Kiyohiko's manga "Azumanga Daioh" will be re-published as a revised edition to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the manga. A newly written episode will be inserted in the edition."

I think Ichigo will get badly beaten that Ishida, will probably step in while Inoue heals him... Then Ichigo starts another stupid talk with his hollow, upon after which Hollow ichigo fuses with Zangetsu or something like that.

fuse????

have you forgot what hollow ishi said "i am Zangetsu!!"

i think it was episode 123 or something lemme check it out

I think it's an accepted fact taht Zangetsu will NOT show up in the battle with released Ulquiorra

Seeing as how so far in this battle, the capabilities of Ichigo as a Vizard are put into GREAT emphasis.

Has anyone seen it yet? I'm saving it for tonight I can't wait :D

I'm really liking this flashback arc, Hirako is becoming one of my favourite new characters. I always wondered how he could have kicked the crap out of Grimmjow, I'm starting to understand that ;)

Good episode of Bleach, cool seeing a regular-looking Mayuri (minus the ears) setting up a deal with Kisuke and a young Gin - Not to mention Kisuke's hand-to-hand combat (Y) :D

Hiyori was annoying in this episode ....

Radish?

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
    • I Can't Wrap My Head Around This Number - Google to buy computing from SpaceX at $920 million per month

      By Nick H. · Posted

      What I can't seem to understand is that Google are paying SpaceX? Surely it would be the other way round, with SpaceX needing Google's datacenters etc.? Oh well, this level of money and power is way outside of my comprehension at the best of times.
