[Official] Anime/Manga Thread

Read Gantz then, you will like it. It has nudity and sexual stuff in between the alien killing lol.

I think he means Doujinshi

[deletedxyz]

Found this... what do you make of it?

Isn't that the anime "Berserk"? The characters look almost identical... The dark skinned girl looks like Casca and the warrior is Guts. Guts is also well known for slicing tens of enemies in half with one swing of his GIGANTIC sword.

I put my bets on "Berserk". If it is, it looks horrible since it looks too clean and happy to be a continuation of the epic Berserk manga/anime.

New Bleach and Naruto manga out.

Great ending for the fight in bleach, felt a little short though.

and in naruto, sasuke goes super saijin in the end LOL.

It is Berserk done this time by Studio 4?c so it can't be that bad...

also you think there's anything missing from my anim? list?

[Berserk87]

whys everyone keep saying my name!?

:p

[Ci7]

It looked like Muramasa was able to tell that Ichigo has a VL inside him. I wonder if he is going to try and rip that part of of him as well......

that was Zangatsu who told Muramasa that the hollow is another soul residing in ishigo

but i think that is bizarre since the hollow said that he and Zangatsu are one/same

i guess maybe Muramasa can only call out Zanpaktou , so the hollow part got left out ?

[Berserk87]

i thought fullmetal episode 21 was out tonight?

[DrunkenBeard]

Great Naruto chapter this week. Expecting an epic fight next week, unless Kishi's just showing off Sasuke's super mega powers ... again.

Don't write it off totally until we see some sort of animation released from Studio 4?C. That said, it could also be cut-scenes for a game based off the original manga.

Need to read Bleach, and Kemono no Soja Erin has been sad since Jone passed away:((

Radish?

Interesting that they're putting Puck in there so maybe they're going for the full manga effect instead of the really cut down, but really awesome, version from the first anime.

New Bleach and Naruto manga out.

What do you figure that was behind Sasuke before he slaughtered all those samurai? It looked like Naruto in Kyuubi mode, but I'm not sure why it would have been in that frame.

[shakey]

That is what I was wondering and thought as well. It sure did look like naruto in fox form. Maybe it was showing how lost he was in his hatred.... and how sinister and evil he has become due to it... hard to say, but can't wait to see it drawn out in anime :p

[BoredBozirini]

I'm wondering what the heck is it that Madara wants to talk about. Kakashi, Yamato and Naruto agains Madara would be a pretty awesome fight (if they end up fighting, but I doubt it).

And Raichu vs. Sasuke, the fight everyone was waiting for.

[BoDEAN]

Sasuke no way man, no way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Compare and contrast with my list. We only share 62 anime series. I watched 200. I think you're missing 20 or so worthwhile ones. As I state on my profile, 8+ is a must watch while 7 is a story with some loopholes but decent.

so what would the 20 or so be?

[Berserk87]

im going to start watching Neon Genesis Evangelion.

A bunch of people on here seem to like it, and i need more things to watch then fma, and bleach.

:p I forgot you only recently joined MAL. There's a neat feature that allows you to check the anime that is unique to a user's profile. If you go to my page while logged into your account, you can click on "Anime unique to arimakenshin". You can then sort the anime by the rating I gave it.

You should check out Eureka Seven then. Neon Genesis Evangelion is a genre defining anime series. If you enjoy NGE, then look into RahXephon (one of my favorite all time) and Akira.

I was kinda hoping for recommendations.

I can't give anything more than just saying that you should watch anything on my list that's rated 7 and above. If you're interested for more specific anime, then drop a comment on my MAL profile.

Nice episode of Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, Mirai is opening up a bit more now and wonder what will happen to Yuuki as he collapsed :/

Radish?

I personally can't stand Neon Genesis Evangelion. It's convoluted and the main character is a whiny ass (in my opinion) and I can't stand him. There are much better animes to check out I think. I'd suggest some if you're interested.

[deletedxyz]

I started reading Bleach manga series just to see what the hype and fuss is all about. It's not original but it's certainly an entertaining read. The one thing I'm finding annoying is the random Mexican influences in the battles (Vol. 28+?). Very awkward transitions to say the least. It certainly is nowhere near a 9+/10 manga but it definitely is enjoyable to anyone who enjoys alot of action with a tinge of drama/romance.

Neon Genesis Evangelion might not be the best anime series ever created but it is definitely in the top 10 most influential and genre defining. The fusion of mecha, psychological horror, fatally flawed characters brought together with a style not seen in anime makes it unique.

^Ever checked out Soukyuu no Fafner? I've seen the first 2 episodes and so far only those 2. To me those looked like a direct copy of NGE and RahXephon mixed together, which is the reason why I only watched 2 episodes.

Granted. But it's just not something I can get into, when the main character is so annoying I can only watch an episode in bits of 2-3 minutes at a time. I also don't think it should be suggested to someone who is just getting into anime as one of their first to watch, for the very reasons you listed. I only know one other person that shares that opinion with me though. *shrug* Imo none of the OVA's or movies improve it in any way either.

im on Neon genesis episode 8 now, and i cant blame anyone for not liking it.

it dosnt seem attention grabbing or anything, but 8 episodes in and theres a bit of interest growing. seems there spending a long time character building first.
