[Official] Anime/Manga Thread


Recommended Posts

Hi guys! I'm new to the anime thread and I was wondering what Neowin could recommend I watch next as I am completely out of ideas.

I just took a break from TF2 and WoW for a week and managed to squeeze Hellsing, all three seasons of Zero no Tsukaima, and DearS all into my schedule. Recently I've also seen Chobits and Mahou Sensei Negima. Glad to say I enjoyed every one of them.

Hellsing I enjoyed the most I must say. It was really...unique, in a good way. Infact it has to be one of the best animes I've seen in a long time. I don't really expect anything to match it.

Other series' I've seen are Trigun, Dragonball, DBZ, most of Naruto, Ghost in the Shell, Inuyasha, Full Metal Alchemist, and Bobobo-bo bo-bobo.

I normally prefer subbed versions as the voices are often done more professionally, plus it helps me learn Japanese. Normally my only exception would be if the dub was done by FUNimation.

Hellsing or Hellsing Ultimate? If you haven't watched one or the other I suggest watching both. They're incredibly awesome.

^Correct. I'm thinking about re-watching the Hellsing series again.

@Recon415: All dubs are as bad in my ears :p Anime with Japanese audio and English subs are a must for anime. Click the "MyAnimeList" link in my signature. I'm sure there are a few series in my list that you might like :)

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is going to be kicked off today, so is Shangri-La and Dragonball Kai. Is there any other new anime that's going to be kicked off today?

Yeah I've watched them both. Hellsing Ultimate was by far superior however and I really wish they'd get a move-on on the 6th.

Yes some dubs are bad but Hellsing ONLY works in English.

You mean English subs right? Because the Japanese voices are pretty good imo.

I've got the Appleseed: Ex Machine DVD which doesn't even have Japanese voices! :| So I thought I was being forced to see it with English dubs. Luckely, a friend of mine bought the correct version so I could still watch it with Japanese voices and English subs. I'm still going to buy the correct version though, I just can't stand watching anime with English dubs.

Not for Hellsing hell they got atleast two British people for the Hellsing Dub.

I just finished watching the new FMA and I'm not quite sure what to think of it. I recognize characters and stuff from the original but again..kind of seems to start out half way through a story that already started elsewhere.

Yeah, the first episode was original and not from the manga so it's a little out of place. Hopefully they stick to the manga from now on.

Also the new OP is awsum.

I just got time to watch shangri-la & queens blade. I think I'm going to like shangri-la only one question though, Where the hell she's going to put that boomerang I wonder (which is driving me crazy :iiam: :shifty:

Also queens blade was mmm how should I put it. :bounce: :uberhump:

Episode one of Queen's Blade was awesome absolutely beautiful fights and what not.

Ah, so it wasn't because of the prominent female anatomy on show which exploded, shot acid occasionally and what not :rofl:

Radish?

    • Exactly what I was thinking. All of a sudden in span of a month multiple CEO's from scam altman to this clown has had sudden change of heart does not seem organic change lol
    • Microsoft releases Visual Studio Code 1.124 with smarter autonomous AI agents by Paul Hill Microsoft has just released Visual Studio Code 1.124 with a focus on faster agent workflows and improved agent autonomy. Microsoft outlined the following features as the key items in this update: Autopilot: Autopilot, enabled by default, is now smarter to determine when a task is truly done. Background sessions: Quickly send a request in the background and keep composing the next session. Session navigation: Search, jump, and step through agent sessions with the keyboard. Browser history: Revisit and search pages you've already opened in the integrated browser. With VS Code 1.124, Microsoft has enabled Autopilot by default. For those that don’t know, Autopilot is a chat permission level that you can pick to give agents permission to take initiative and act autonomously, without needing explicit user approval for each action. Also related to Autopilot, Microsoft introduced Advanced Autopilot, which changes how Autopilot decides when to keep iterating and when to finish. This helps you get more complete results without manually monitoring loops. This feature works using a small utility model that reads a transcript of the chat and decides when the task is done. Another new feature in 1.124 is the Agents window, which lets you easily explore, iterate on, and review agent sessions across projects and machines. Previously, starting a new agent session meant waiting for it to load before you could compose the next one. With this update, sessions can be requested in the background. This VS Code update also brings session navigation updates to switch between them more quickly. The update also lets you reload or reopen the Agents window so that it no longer loses your layout, so you will land back where you left off. If you use the integrated browser in VS Code, you will notice that it now retains the history of visited pages. Suggestions will now show when typing in the URL bar and can be managed by using Ctrl+H within a browser tab. The browser now also lets you customize the toolbar more; just right-click on the toolbar area to the right of the URL input. Finally, the browser has faster agentic text entry. Another improvement is experimental enterprise-managed Copilot plugin policies that allow admins to centrally control which chat plugins and plugin marketplaces are available to developers. If you have VS Code installed, 1.124 should install automatically, or you'll get a prompt. If you don't have it installed, get it here.
    • Ray-Tracing is the Radeon RX 9070 XT's biggest weakness. The Radeon RX 9070 XT might not be able to match in the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti in ray-tracing, but it can beat the GeForce RTX 5070, which is around the same price.
    • I am also on latest experimental with possible insider flags on and aiming in settings for 26h1.. Also see just this wasted space. I do love "movable" small taskbar though but would love more if it had date next to it now just time.
    • Does not make it more readable for me though. The majority of your screenshot is just pitch black.
