[Official] Anime/Manga Thread

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

I would hardly call it a masterpiece it was good but not in the vault of awesomeness good.

^It's a matter of opinion ;)

I'll be watching "Tokyo Magnitude 8.0" and "Sora no Manimani" later today :D

Does anyone know when Naruto Shippuuden Movie 3 getting sub.

Probably around April next year. That's usually the time when the naruto movies get subbed. A long wait... i know :(

[RadishTM Veteran]

If you like superb voice acting/animation then check out a little OVA called Sora no Iro, Mizu no Iro.

Animation yes, voice acting not so much.

Radish?

[RadishTM Veteran]

My review of Appleseed Ex Machina:

I just watched this 1080p and the facial expressions and overall animation quality are THE best when it comes to 100% CGI animation. Unlike Appleseed, Ex Machina's quality is consistent.The plot is the normal action flick fanfare and being directed by John Woo ensures plenty of fantastic fights. However, I do have to dock off 2 points for dramatized voice acting and occasional cheesy cliches.

8/10; an exceptional example of how far CGI has come.

Bleach wasn't a bit less exciting this week. Wonder whats up with Hyourinmaru's amnesia

Is it still on the new filler?

btw what ep does the new filler start on? The last ep of Bleach I've seen was when Aizen and his crew were fighting against the shinigami on Earth.

I'm kinda interested in the filler because I've heard so many people say it's good :p

I can't wait to get the 1080p version of it when it hits the scene. Watching Spice and Wolf Season 1 in HD was amazing! I hope the story came to a good close. It was only one of the few anime series that had a consistently mature feel to it.

New Naruto Shippuden came out. The Jiraiya Gaiden.

[rustix]

Shippuden is going to get real interesting from next week on :D

This weeks chapter of Naruto felt really short

sadly i think only 3 or 4 people ITT took notice of this post.

Hi,

- I found this week's Naruto fantastic. I don't remember reading this in the manga, well I remember the content was scattered in various chapters but this complete "Jiraia Gaiden" idea is great ! Or am I wrong and just totally forgot about that ? :s

Nope. I just found that post hilarious because it's considered an enhancement to add an anime character or voice actor to sell a product. What's even funnier is that it makes the Windows 7 box look like a terrible cartoon package rather than a professional operating system.

Oh, Japan...

so you've never heard of the OS-tans then?

[Dance.]

ooh new bleach manga was good :D!

[shakey]

Bleach manga was great, Aizen is finally getting tired of waiting it seems.

Naruto looks promising, with a huge battle about to start again.

The Naruto anime was just top notch. They really did Jariya's tale very well.
