[Official] Anime/Manga Thread


Recommended Posts

Sure milking can be bad but FMA:B.. is it really that bad? As long as I love a story line or whatever, it doesn't matter to me how many times it's been made. It's hard to be original these days with everything anyways. The things you've summed up can be seen in almost every anime, manga, comic, cartoon, movie, soap, drama etc.

Meh, I just don't see what the big deal is.

They can wh_re themselves out on merchandise and whatnot with FMA:B.

That is as long as they keep the current pace of the series the same.

The progress of the story line doesn't seem too slow or too fast to me.

With many mainstream shows it seems obvious that they do not want to progress the story line, but I don't get that with FMA:B

That is messed up. Hentai isn't creepy but when people buy pillows and cushions with girls printed on them whether they are animated or real, it crosses the line to being a creepy otaku. >_>

Indeed, it's something I just can't comprehend :ermm:

Radish?

What's wrong with making something look prettier?

my little collection.

Nothing, it's your life choice. For me personally, a real female to cuddle like a pillow is excessively win and they hug you back! (Y) :happy:

On a different note, would anyone recommend Cromartie High School to those who have watched Great Teacher Onizuka? Somewhat similar, so it got me interested :)

What the.. this is totally going into the wrong direction now o.O

Anyways, I'll be starting Honey and Clover II in a bit. Could someone recommend me an anime similar to this?

The series is only around 13 minutes per each episode. If you understand Japanese culture and are quite well versed in Shounen manga and anime, then it's the perfect anime/manga for you. I couldn't understand much of it since there were many references to 90's anime. It's one of the more intelligent parodies based around high school culture.

I would recommend Lamune (very touchy feely - 6/10), True Tears (early high school drama with amazing yet bland animation - 7/10) and Kimikiss ~ Pure Rouge (6/10).

^ I only know those "harem" anime series because I was still a noob and watching whatever connected to the most popular anime such as Clannad, Kanon and Ef~A Tale of Melodies when I had no clue that there were distinct sub genres that pushed stereotypes to the limit and beyond.

What I recommend as a light romance mixed with heavy character interaction and war is Gunparade March. It's a rare piece of work. I still am scarred by one of the touching scenes. *shudders at the reminiscence*

Oddly enough she did not watch it because it was sports (she is not a fan of sports) she watched it because she saw an ad for it on Hulu :p

Currently I am taking her Through Ghost in the Shell (SAC and Second Gig)

Right up my alley (Y)

True Tears (early high school drama with amazing yet bland animation - 7/10) and Kimikiss ~ Pure Rouge (6/10).

Out of the two, I enjoyed True Tears more.

Radish?

could someone recommend a really good comedy for me to watch?

Action/Comedy/Drama - Full Metal Panic! (first season and Fumoffu!; third season gets rather dark)

Dark/parody - Sayanora Zetsubou Sensei

Slapstick/Shounen/Ecchi - Golden Boy

Shoujo - Ouran High School Host Club

Epic (number of episodes) - Gintama

WTH?! - Furi Kuri

Explicit - Detroit Metal City

Overall - Great Teacher Onizuka + Full Metal Panic!

Must watch immediately for all anime fans - Great Teacher Onizuka, Full Metal Panic! and Detroit Metal City

Detroit Metal City made me realize how much anime can differ from the googley eyed, semi naked women it usually offers. It's explicit, hilarious and made me lol too many times to count.

    • I don't find them "bitchy" or "whiny". I think the term you should use it, uhm, "passionate."
    • Ahh, I didn't know that. It makes sense. I was thinking I would be fine with 50 hours, but 100 is close enough that I wouldn't feel like I am paying for more than I am using. I might check it out sometime.
    • Google's next-gen Tensor AI chips might be produced by Samsung, report says by Hamid Ganji Image via Google Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is produced in collaboration with companies such as Broadcom and TSMC, but a recent report suggests that the search giant is in talks with Samsung to hand over part of the production to the Korean tech company. According to a report by The Information, citing people familiar with the matter, Google has begun talks with Samsung about using its chip manufacturing capacity for the next generation of Tensor AI chips. Google’s upcoming TPUs are reportedly codenamed “Icefish” and will be produced using Samsung's 2-nanometer process technology. Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to produce only a portion of the next-generation Tensor chips, with most of the production remaining at TSMC. The Information says the new Tensor chips are currently in the design stage and are scheduled to enter mass production in 2028. TSMC is generally considered one of the most reliable chip manufacturing partners and is trusted by tech giants such as Apple and Google. However, the growing demand for TSMC’s AI chips, combined with the company’s focus on meeting demand from AI data centers, has reportedly prompted Google to seek additional manufacturing partners for its next-generation TPUs. Besides Samsung and TSMC, Intel could also be assigned part of the production. The Information reported this week is that Google has begun talks with Intel to produce up to three million TPUs in 2028. However, this is not the first time Google has partnered with Samsung on chip production, as Samsung has previously manufactured Tensor chips for Pixel smartphones. Google’s Tensor Processing Unit is used in cloud data centers and competes with NVIDIA’s chips, which currently dominate the market. By relying on in-house chips, Google can not only reduce its dependence on third-party providers but also create new revenue opportunities. The company has already supplied its TPUs to the AI firm Anthropic.
    • Reminder that the Premium and Ultimate plans already come with a 100 hour per month limit, which you then have to pay more to increase in 15 hour blocks.
    • It does invite Linux because MS should have been improving their products all along these years instead chose to ignore the users now this year they’re making all of these improvements to their products where as Linux doesn’t have this kind of problems in fact it has gotten so good I can even play Windows games in Steam that I no longer ever needed Windows to carry on with my life, unlike you still use Windows and chose to try beat down down those who don't use Windows because they love their LG TV. (Surprisingly I actually own a 55” LED LG TV and it has been going strong for almost 14 years, longer than any Sony TV”)
