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.

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

    • So what is it, "Some exciting upgrades happened under the hood, and one of those upgrades is now available to all Windows 11 users." or "Also, you may need to enable it manually, as new features are rolling out gradually. Here is how to do it:" We keep hearing these are rolling out but they never seem to show up, we have force them on with ViVetool. Getting a bit tired of it.
    • Seems very lazy, so basically drain more battery power on laptops/tablets if this is turned on.
    • Edifier's popular R1280Ts bookshelf speaker can be a nice upgrade for your PC desktop audio by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered a very nice discount on Sony's high-resolution SS-CS5M2 speakers, which are currently on sale for just $178. It packs the rather rare super tweeter that offers an additional level of clarity and "airy"-ness which a tweeter cannot provide. It's a passive speaker though which means it will require external amplification, which will cost extra. Let's say though that you have a budget of under $150 but still want a decent-sounding speaker that's active. The Edifier 1280Ts can help in this regard, as the unit is currently at a decent price of $130 (purchase link under the specs table down below). While you will not get deep sub-bass from the 1280Ts, you should get clearer vocals and highs like cymbals than a cheaper satellite-based 2.1 system. Obviously the soundstage and imaging will also improve due to the better reproduction of highs. As mentioned above, the Edifier R1280Ts is active and so does not need a separate amplifier, as it's a powered system with its own amplification. A great thing about this model is that you can add a separate active subwoofer to it too using the "sub out" option, which essentially acts like an LFE. This way, you can add in the missing deep bass. The technical specifications of the Edifier R1280Ts are given in the table below: Specification Value Total Output Power 42W RMS (21W + 21W) Driver Units 4-inch mid-range/bass driver + 0.5-inch silk diaphragm treble driver Frequency Response 52Hz – 20kHz Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) ≥85dBA Input Sensitivity Line In1: R/L: 500±50mV Line In2: R/L: 700±50mV Inputs Dual RCA inputs Outputs Sub Out port for external subwoofer Get it at the link below: Edifier R1280Ts Powered Bookshelf Speakers - 2.0 Stereo Active Near Field Monitors with Subwoofer Line Out: $129.99 (Sold by Edifier Online Store, Shipped by Amazon US) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Appreciate the focus on UI performance, but this is going the wrong way. Instead of optimizing performance, coding to lower latency, etc. this is just throwing horsepower. This is lazy.
