[Official] Anime/Manga Thread

Ok first late/allnighter in a while so i've been thinking about every 10 eps of InuYasha ill watch another series first one is Toaru Majutsu no Index so any suggestions as to what i should watch after episode 60?

Radish?

I thought so too. I deliberately rate the series lower than the movies but they do give character to the Section 9 screw due to the more in depth interactions between them.

that reminds me, I have to watch the GiTS movies. Have been putting that off due to the workload from uni :(

;) Work hard, play hard.

It's the only series that I rate the movies higher than the anime series (not that it keeps me from still keeping the anime series as one of my favorites.)

Saw "Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honn?amise" today. Was a good and fun movie to watch. Animation was good but nothing out of the ordinary. Music at some points didn't quite fit imo though I wasn't bothered by it. I'd give it a 7 out of 10:))

:oo You weren't impressed by how the space shuttle lifted off?! It was breathtaking when I watched it last year in 720p. Also take note that it was animated in 1987. However, I do agree with the awkward music track and overall vague story line mixed with philosophy.

Yes, I was impressed by it. But besides that and the scenery, it wasn't anything spectacular compared with other anime from the same decade. The story made up for it though because to me it was really interesting. I've got a big weakness for anything which have to do with space. And an anime set in a different timeline in which the first earthling goes into orbit for the very first time, is a win in my eyes :)

Those are the same sentiments I felt as I watched the movie. It's refreshing to see an anime movie based on real events. I just went through your MAL page and found out that you didn't watch Planetes. You HAVE to. It's my favorite manga series and the anime series manages to hold together (with a very unbelieavable ending plot) unlike the manga.

It's a MUST read. It's a must watch for any space fans like us.

I've watched 2 episodes and had accidentally removed the whole anime. I had the anime during the period where I always had to make room for new anime series. I also didn't have a DVD burner at that time which gave me no other choice besides removing anime that I had watched. I've been wanting to watch Planetes for a long time though I haven't come around obtaining it. I'm even able to buy the whole DVD set, which I'll be doing as I'm sure it's pretty much worth it. There's a goldmine of manga's near me which I'll be going to soon. I'm gonna see if they've got the "Planetes" manga, otherwise I'll read it online :)

"Freedom" is another anime about space which did leave a big impression on me. I'm sure I don't have to explain why though :p

No you don't but I'll say Katsuhiro Otomo is win anyway, brilliant anime :D

Even though the animation and concept was amazing, something didn't sit right with me. Maybe it's the naivety of the two main characters or maybe it's just I was underwhelmed after following up Planetes with Freedom.

By the way, Black Lagoon has one of the worst ending songs I've ever heard.

Why what's so wrong with it?

also i hope there'll be a second season of toaru majutsu no index.

It doesn't match wit the anime series AT ALL. It's so uninspired and boring.

Hearing English spoken with a Japanese accent is quite funny. Black Lagoon's characters are supposed to all be speaking English and when they interact in Japan, Rock has to translate so you get to hear the accented English. At least it isn't as painful as hearing it when I was watching Beck.

"Werll, Thang arll maitee" = "Well, thank All Mighty"

"I Rost debet" = "I lost the bet" :D

you sure you're not talking about the OP and not the ED?

too bad Stellvia of the universe only had 2 seasons i loved that show. there are a few games though.

IIRC it only had 1

The latest Bleach/One Piece and Naruto are out.

THe Bleech story is as slow as ever. We did not get anywhere in this issue either but Naruto and One Piece made a steady progress. Raikage and Killer-Bee vs Kisame and Luffy vs the 3 Admirals ;D

I don't know, at least Yammy finally did his release so I'm thinking that won't last too long now. And we finally get that Tousen has hollow abilities, so that should make the next chapter interesting.

*sets up depression mode anime/manga*

Push Man and other stories

Saikano (manga)

Clannad and its highly rated second season

Re-watching Neon Genesis Evangelion

while listening to: Hurt by NIN

Anyone have some slapstick comedy or light hearted anime that won't be a waste of time?

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
