Yup, great chapter. Kumokage is such a badass :D Watching 124 right now, I can't wait to see some Pain action :p

There is a thing that troubles me about Naruto : Danzo has chosen Fu and Torune as his bodyguards (don't recall hearing about them before), so they must be quite strong. Then why didn't they participate in the great battles against Aakatsuki (Kizame, Itachi, Deidara, Sasori, Hidan, Kakuzu) ? It's like the only ninjas in Konoha are those we met in the chuunin exam.

They are black ops, so they deal with secret missions and intelligence gathering. Also when the 3rd kazekage was attacked I believe the one trying to save him was these black ops.

If they're being controled by Danzo he wouldn't want them to help out. Because he wanted them attack Konoha so he could take over. Like with Sai, at first he was only there because Danzo wanted someone to watch over Naruto and convey messages to Orochimaru, who he was hoping would attack/destroy Konoha too.

I was just going thru the episodes list of some of the anime I watch, and found out 2 of them One Piece (12 years :o ) and Naruto (almost 10 years) thier manga has been around for more than a decade.

Does anyone else know of any manga or anime still ongoing for that long. I'm trying to find if there are any.

well Detective Conan has been going since 1996 and Berserk has been going since 1989....

something tells me i need a monitor with a higher resolution...

so i finished watching NGE and i have no effin clue what is going on past episode 24.

in episode 24.... shinji kills the guy, who apparently is an 'angel', then shinji crys about it a bunch, then i have no *(#@&$@$_@($ing clue what is going on after that.

something about how he imagined it all...or it was just a different world that he was picturing himself in or some BS...

im sitting here going "o good, shinji finally did something, two more episodes for the to explain what the **** has been going on"

THEN an hour of shinji being a giant tool and having more flash backs and garbage, and nothing gets explained.

I warned you, didn't I? This is what happens when an amazing producer doesn't know what a "conclusion" means. The ridiculous references to Christianity and emo squealing all makes one of the most influential anime series ever made into some kind of sick joke about suicide and rebirth of the world.

There's nothing "great" about NGE except that it restarted the anime genre. It went from a boring, Gundam, drama universe into "real" characters that do not follow the idealistic "boy becomes powerful and feels responsible for protecting the whole word" Gundam character to characters to the complete opposite. Shinji's incessant wailing, his rage... It all is part of one of the worst anime conclusions ever made.

Do you want to know how NGE ruined one of my all time favorite anime, Kare Kano? The producer decided to use the same format as NGE in the last 6 episodes of Kare Kano and completely ruined it before quitting after having a dispute with the mangaka for the pathetic flashbacks and completely awful attempt at trying to be artistic.

If you want to cleanse your mind and follow up with a better remake of NGE, then go with RahXephon. You will not be disappointed (it's one of my favorite) since it has a fantastic story.

Hadn't heard of the live action movies. Gotta link?

I can't disclose it or I'll be warned. PM me if you want to know about the site.

This is what I was trying to warn you about :laugh:

The show is just bad, I really don't get it's appeal it all. But as I said, not very many people share my opinion on NGE. The OVA's and movies don't make it any better, either. They're just more of the same convoluted...annoying characters and all. And messed up too. I'll explain further if you require. :huh:

After hearing some praise I just stated watching NGE and I was at 20, now you tell me the 24 sucks thx dude. :cry:

Anyway I will keep watching till the end, now that I am all caught up with OP, Naruto, Bleach, Canaan, QB, FMA2, Gintama (it's a short list isn't it :|)

    • Yeah, when I saw that, I wanted to find the nearest nose. You can't find a good nose these days when you need one.
    • Anthropic launches Claude Fable 5, a state-of-the-art AI model that beats OpenAI's GPT-5.5 by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in April, Anthropic announced Claude Mythos Preview, a frontier model with state-of-the-art coding capabilities. Due to the cybersecurity implications that would occur due to the availability of such a powerful model, Anthropic made it available to only a select set of companies around the world. The company's plan was to prepare appropriate guardrails before releasing such a powerful model to everyone. Now, after nearly two months, Anthropic announced Claude Fable 5, its most capable AI model yet for general users. The company also announced Claude Mythos 5, the same underlying model as Fable 5, but with safeguards lifted, making it more suitable for selected cybersecurity and biology use cases. Claude Fable 5 sits a tier above its Opus models and it beats most other generally available models across areas including software engineering, knowledge work, vision, scientific research, and long-running autonomous tasks. To prevent model misuse, when Claude Fable 5 detects certain requests related to cybersecurity, biology, chemistry, or model distillation, the request will be routed to the Claude Opus 4.8 model. Anthropic claims that these safeguards trigger in less than 5% of sessions on average. However, for large organizations working on critical software, Claude Mythos 5 can be availed through Project Glasswing. Later, Anthropic has plans to expand access through a broader trusted access program. As you can notice in the benchmarks above, Fable 5 and Mythos 5 are state-of-the-art on most key AI benchmarks and they are well ahead of OpenAI's frontier model, GPT-5.5. For example, Fable 5 is the new state-of-the-art model for vision tasks. Also, Mythos 5 has the strongest cybersecurity capabilities of any model in the world. Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 are priced at $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens, which is less than half the price of Claude Mythos Preview. Another big change is that Anthropic is making a change to the way they handle business customer data for both Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models. The company will now require 30-day retention for all traffic on both first- and third-party surfaces. Anthropic promises that it won't use the data to train Claude models, instead it will use it against complex and novel attacks. Claude Fable 5 is available today on the Claude API and consumption-based Enterprise plans. It is also included at no extra cost for Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise customers from today through June 22. After that, users on those plans will need usage credits to continue using Fable 5, unless Anthropic extends the included access window based on capacity. Developers can access Fable 5 through the Claude API using the claude-fable-5 model name.
    • Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion to bring snowy region, new updates also coming by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Capcom had a surprise waiting for Dragon's Dogma fans today in the Nintendo Direct presentation. The company revealed an expansion for the second installment with a name that should be familiar to series veterans. Coming later this year, Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen is promising a massive new region to explore, new monsters, fresh skills to learn, and more. The studio says players will be heading to the Northern region of the world, named Norgan, to find new secrets about an undying "Fallen Dragon." There will be forgotten relics that the protagonist can find to unlock fresh weapons and skills the expansion is introducing. Players will also be able to find mysterious equipment from a previous Arisen as a part of the expansion, all part of 12 Lost Rites Dungeon Challenges they must complete to gain access. In Neowin's own review, I found Dragon's Dogma 2 to be an impressive RPG when it launched back in 2024, giving the title an 8.5/10 for its class variants, companion system, and immersive exploration. "Once a prosperous region of the kingdom of Vermund, it was abandoned many years ago for reasons unknown," says Capcom about the new region. "Long has it been since any soul traveled its paths. Blanketed in heavy snow, these frigid lands are home to savage hordes and creatures of unbelievable power. Those who are capable of vanquishing such fearsome foes, or those who possess a keen eye for exploration, will find themselves rewarded with powerful relics." Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen expansion launches on October 9, 2026, with a $29.99 price tag. Ahead of the expansion release, Capcom is also planning to release two free updates to the base game. The first will land tomorrow, June 10, bringing more accessible fast travel with an Eternal Ferrystone and other quality-of-life adjustments. The second update will land sometime in August, aiming to improve frame rates, add more save slots, and bring even more community-requested adjustments. This expanded Dark Arisen edition is also launching on the Nintendo Switch 2 on the same day the content comes to PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.
