Keep it civil guys - everyone has different tastes, learn to deal with it.

Radish?

[CentralDogma]

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.

Saikano left a bad taste in my mouth. The characters were fundamentally flawed and made sure to play out every cliche in the book of dystopian cliches.

Awww easy on the Naruto slagging :p

I like any type of anime myself, as long as it's decent lol

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.

In other news, Bleach should be coming out tomorrow. More of TBTP :D

And on the manga side of things we get to see Ichigo's response to the black cero!

[Lingwo]

I can't wait to see what state Ichigo is in after the black cero.

[Dance.]

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!

[deletedxyz]

^ :D Another GiTS fan!

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.

[shakey]

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

[+shift. MVC]

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.

[Lezard]

Either that or Hollow Ichigo will take over, I do not watch anime, I only read bleach... the bount and rukia coming early killed it for me

[+shift. MVC]

The anime is actually pretty good right now; TBTP :)

[Azusa]

This next episode of Bleach may give rise to the hottest Shota Doujins ever.

[Matrix XII]

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 ;)

[RadishTM Veteran]

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?

[Matrix XII]

Sweet, now I can't wait even more :p

I think Bleach has been really solid the past few months, do you guys agree?

Other than those 2 soccer episodes of course haha, those were brutal.

This episode needed more Hiyori....

[Lezard]

So it's TBTP, sweet. Anything out of place in anime so far? Or is it being loyal to manga?
