[Official] Anime/Manga Thread


Recommended Posts

Watched Yurumates today. Enjoyed the comedy, it reminded me of the randomness in Azumanga Daioh/Honey and Clover and the chibi-style animation was great (Y) :D

Also finished Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 today as well, kudos to BONES/Kinema Citrus (Y) The emotions of the characters were played out very well throughout, especially how Mirai evolved from being a spoilt brat that wanted something bad to occur to becoming Yuuki's loving sister, realising that family is important and what she had lost in the end :(

The last episode definitely pulled at the heartstrings :cry:

Radish?

Just finished Death note and really enjoyed it.

Now working my way through Ghost in the shell: Stand alone complex, got both series on DVD

Catching up on Naruto. Have watched the forst 20 episodes of Shippuden so far.

Watched the first 10 episodes of Bleach and will eventually get round to watching the rest.

Love FMA but not watched any of brother hood.

Any recommendations?

well im about 150 episodes way from being fully caught up with Detective Conan the thing i love most about this series is the the filler doesn't feel like filler.

Consider picking up Black Jack, especially the OVA (10 ~50 min episodes). It's one of the most enjoyable anime series I've come across in a while. Poor animation and voice acting though. :\

By the way, did anyone have the opportunity to watch the explicit comedy "Detroit Metal City"? I haven't laughed that much while watching anime in a long time. It's must watch for any explicit, dark humor comedy and/or metal heads.

Thanks for mentioning "Baccano!" since I totally forgot about that anime. I've had Samurai Champloo for some time now but never got around watching it. Yesterday, at the end of our class, the classmate next to me recommended it to me as well after recommending "One Piece". He was teasing me though since I told him that I wanted to watch Samurai Champloo at home with better quality, yet he watched 2 episodes on YouTube. Of course I HAD to watch since it was to hard not to watch :p So I'll be starting this series after I ended my "Bōnen no Xamdou" re-run.

I just started on one piece pretty interesting (Y) oh also spirited away watching that right now

I want to catch up on Detective Conan (I used to watch it in national tv back in 1998 and loved it) but ... 13 seasons ... 546 episodes ... it seems impossible :( I think i'll just concentrate on Samurai Champloo and Death Note for now and leave Detective Conan for next holidays.

PS : Does Samurai Champloo suck for the entire series ? :D The opening Hip Hop music is getting to my nerves. Big disappointment after seeing Cowboy Bebop (which IS a masterpiece)

@mail: I thought about starting it but 400 episodes are to much to watch. I've already got a big list of "planned to watch" series :p But who knows, I think my classmate wont stop recommending it until I actually watch it, my teacher included lol.

Spirited Away is a great movie. I watched it last year during Christmas. I don't know, I always like to watch movies from Studio Ghibli during Christmas. While where at it, I'd like to recommend you "Howl's Moving Castle". It's by the same studio and same writer (Hauru no Ugoku Shiro).

Seen Howl's Moving Castle after having read the book. I think that was my first ever anime, though I don't think I realised it was an anime back then. Still an amazing movie.

Samurai Champloo is a masterpiece when compared to the drivel that has been released in the past 5 years. The unique style, humor and fusion of hip hop makes it one of the wonders of anime to watch.

There are plenty of anime masterpieces that have come out in the past few years but it has been overshadowed by Naruto, Bleach and other marketable Pokemon type anime. :p

    • 2 was a fun game but felt a bit shallow, like not enough there. I hope this expansion fixes that.
    • I haven't paid for windows since windows 8. So I guess I would be happy to pay for a new version if it meant seeing fewer adverts (none) or product pushes. But that applies to _any_ service or OS.
    • Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers by Taras Buria Sony is currently offering a big discount on its SS-CS5M2 bookshelf speaker, saving you 35% on a set of high-quality audio equipment. The SS-CS5M2 is a passive 3-way bookshelf speaker with a 5.12-inch woofer, a 25 mm soft-dome tweeter, and a 19 mm super tweeter. This design allows different drivers to handle different parts of the sound spectrum for a clearer, more detailed audio when watching movies or listening to music. The compact cabinet size allows you to place these speakers on shelves, desks, or stands, making them a practical choice for apartments, bedrooms, and small living rooms. Despite its compact size, the SS-CS5M2 delivers up to 100 W of power. Note that since the speakers are passive, you will need an amplifier to drive them. However, if you do, you can use them for high-resolution music, thanks to a claimed frequency response of 53 Hz - 50 kHz. It is able to extend so far high in the spectrum as a result of those super tweeters. While they will work with most amplifiers and AV receivers, Sony says this pair is a perfect match for its AV receivers, such as STRDH190, 590, 790, or 1000.

    • So they somehow expect Apple to easily make it so that if I install say DeepSeek that DS can then handle all the tasks that Siri would be doing while integrated in the OS? That sounds like just rediculous.
