[Official] Anime/Manga Thread

:laugh: As soon as I knew that he's going to release the hollow ishigo, I knew he wouldn't be able to handle him. That was really funny moment at the end where he started attacking.

not mentioning the hollow said something along the line "what **** are you ?" to muramsa

:p

I just watched the first four episodes of Bleach and all I can say is that the terrible voice acting (both English and Japanese) and the uninspired animation makes it one of the most average looking anime series I have ever seen.

This can be considered one of the many instances where the manga trumps the anime without any doubt. In fact, if you turned the manga into a flipbook, it would have better animation than the anime series.

Dropped - 5/10

:blink: I thought the animation in Bleach was pretty good. They have their episodes that look crap, but all the good fights are done nicely.

I don't know about you but I saw bleach on youtube back in the day and didn't think much about animation at the time. But first problem is that you saw a dub episode and they usally are not good at all.

Some say Bleach anim? and Manga would be better off being a fashion series...

It's nothing compared to Code Geass, Yu Yu Hakusho or even Dragonball's animation. The lack of detail and sometimes asymmetrical character drawings depict a fantastic manga with average animation. I can easily list 10 anime series that were released in the same year that looked better than Bleach.

All I can conclude is that the quality was sacrificed in order to keep the anime on track with the manga releases so they can make as much money as they possibly can. It's sad to see how mainstream commerical success can turn such a well drawn manga into such an average quality shounen anime series. Anime is supposed to take visuals, voice acting and sound to a higher level than manga ever can and Bleach doesn't show that at all.

No, I never watch dubs first (except a few Miyazaki films). I always watch subbed and even then the voice acting was terrible. The opening song screamed "mainstream shounen series" and lacked any impact for such a big franchise. I just checked the English dub out of curiosity.

So I am new to Anima and Manga, well basically.

I am downloading the 3 Ghost in the Shell films. I was wondering what else I should look at, anything that is a must?

Thanks. (And if this was asked, well I ain't reading through this whole thread lol)

Cowboy Bebop, Mushi-shi, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Full Metal Panic!, Samurai Champloo, Nodame Cantabile, Black Lagoon, Ergo Proxy...

For more information, I suggest visiting fellow Neowin members' MyAnimeList pages (MAL).

Wow, you really went through 200+ episodes even though you give it a 6? If you're willing to commit that much to an anime series, then I suggest watching Gintama. It's probably the best mix of anime genres ever.

I totally forgot about "Sora no Manimani"! It's one of the few animes which I was looking forward to as I've got a weakness for astronomy. Gonna watch the first episode later today :D

It does have it's ups and downs. The later arcs are quite good but I guess that's not going to matter to you now :p

Dude, hurry up and watch it! :D

Radish?

They really shortened the Sasuke / Deidara fight, but the good stuff is right around the corner.

I don't think that it was shortened at all. I'm actually glad that they didn't draw it out by having 15 minutes of dialog and then 1 minute of fighting like they usually do. Hopefully the manga is far enough ahead that we get to the really good stuff soon without more filler.

    • JetBrains is working to cut false positives in RustRover 2026.2 by David Uzondu Recently, JetBrains released the fifth EAP build of its dedicated IDE, RustRover 2026.2, bringing improvements like a Run gutter icon for criterion_main! macro benchmarking and a feature that alerts you when there are unused traits in your current scope. Now, the company is out with a blog post addressing one of the "most common" complaints from users: false positives. In RustRover, a false positive occurs when the editor incorrectly highlights something as an error even though the project compiles and runs successfully. This mismatch flags a gap between the IDE's internal intelligence and the actual compiler. When the editor flashes red warnings over perfectly valid code, developers lose trust in the tool, which stalls momentum. Traditionally, RustRover runs cargo check to detect compiler errors and warnings, but it also relies on its own code analysis engine to power real-time features. To provide quick feedback, this engine parses your source code into a syntax tree while inferring types and resolving names as you type. Because this engine must work on broken, half-written code and react instantly, its logic sometimes diverges from the compiler's, producing false positives that do not exist in the compiler's eyes. JetBrains said that it has a "dedicated task force" focused specifically on identifying and fixing false positives by analyzing user reports and examining large-scale open-source projects. To speed up this process, the team built an internal system modeled after Crater, the famous Rust project that compiles and runs tests for every single crate published on crates.io. This automated pipeline compares the diagnostics from RustRover's analysis with actual compiler output to catch discrepancies before they reach users, ensuring smoother workflows. RustRover, for those who're unaware, is a dedicated IDE designed specifically for Rust developers. It's been around for a couple of years now, providing features like built-in debugging via LLDB, seamless cargo integration, advanced macro expansion, and HTML support. JetBrains distributes the app under two licensing models: a paid commercial subscription and a free option for non-commercial use.
    • Last year I bought the 2TB variant for $114 on Amazon. That's crazy that the 1TB is now 67% more expensive for half the storage, even with the newer T9 already on the market. And that's considered a good deal.
    • You can disable all non needed features from Brave. There is also Brave Origin which removes them entirely and it is free for Linux.
    • I wish I could use Brave but the tab suspension feature is horrible. It doesn't suspend them like Edge does. Even after 2h open with 70+ tabs (same as Edge), it has 2GB more consumption than Edge for no reason.
