[Official] Anime/Manga Thread

hey Radish, love your new sig :)

Thanks :)

Finished watching the two Nasu OVA's and I loved the second OVA much more than the first. Great relationships within the cycling team, nice dose of humour and awesome drive/teamwork with loads of tension! (Y)

Character design/scenery reminded me of Ghibli's work but it was actually produced by Madhouse :p

Radish?

FAKKU YEAH!!1!eleven!

I can't wait for cycling/running season to start!

(note from excitement: nasu is probably the best sports anime movie. Beautiful women, depiction of cycling techniques such as quick breathing and drafting, and AMAZING sprinting finish. What is there not to like?!)

^ would you happen to know an anim? that is based on Football? (IE the game you play with your foot)

Captain Tsubasa. (The first anime I ever saw when I was a kid.)

Moero! Top striker

Wild Striker

However, there's nothing that can touch cycling when it comes to sports anime apart from martial arts. Soccer is getting more popular since Japan have consistently qualified for the World Cup. They're a decent team too but they're in a very tough group. Netherlands certainly is going to claim first while the second wild card going to Cameroon. It could be a surprise win for Japan though depending on how they do.

I agress (although I've only watched one cycling anime). I watched Over Drive and simply loved it. Any recommendations for other anime like over drive? :D

Nasu. The huge screenshot is of that. Just click on the image to get more information. You might want to check out Prince of Tennis to check if its your cup of tea. To me, it was like a group of models posing for girls and exaggerating each shot. Think Captain Tsubasa (exaggerated 1 minute windups before taking a shot at goal or even pass) but in tennis.

There are only two anime that match Over Drive and that's Nasu and Slam Dunk (I read the manga instead of watching the cheap animation).

Slam Dunk is a must read/watch if you love GTO and/or its prequels.

Nice sig, Radish. Is Yumi-chan rubbing off on you? :p

And just what's wrong with J-Trance?

I like J-Trance (well, some) but I can't stand these J-pop songs that open for some anime shows that feature squirrel voices and fast beats. It's as if Crazy Frog or chipmunks were back in style. >_<

I raise your Black Heaven song with real Japanese death metal.

:| They ruined the song! It's one of the most beautiful singing voices I've heard in years and now it's reduced to a bunch of trash cans being bashed together. >_< Chikusho, my ears are bleeding! HIGH FREQUENCY IS HIGH!

What that mix is pure class.

also the best thing to come from the sharpnel team

Hell no but those light brown eyes are totally mesmerising :wub: :p

Never get bored of DJ Jinnai's remixes.

Radish?

On the topic of OP/EDs, I always found Elfen Lied's ED to be an interesting choice. It was a bit out of place with the series. You'd have a whole slew of people murdered in an episode and have a really depressing episode and then suddenly it would break out into this really upbeat song...

Also it sounded a hell of alot like:

I raise your Black Heaven song with real Japanese death metal.

You did not just call Maximum The Hormone "real Japanese death metal" because their music is far away from death metal :p

On a side note: has anyone started watching Durarara yet? I'm gonna watch the first episode today :)

    • Mate, you’re looking to spend about $100 - what are you expecting. The A series is not the high end model, no - but “trash” is nonsense. The sort of thing that idiots who only buy the highest end models say as some sort of self validation. They will do everything you need of them.
    • Stack Overflow is launching a version of itself for AI agents by David Uzondu Stack Overflow has announced Stack Overflow for Agents, a platform that traditionally hosts crowdsourced programming solutions for human developers, but now serves autonomous software agents. Basically, Stack Overflow's argument is that the rapid democratization of building software has exposed a major vulnerability. Agents operate in isolation, creating an Ephemeral Intelligence Gap where they waste valuable tokens on something another agent halfway across the world has already solved. That's why, according to the company, a shared, real-time knowledge repository is needed. Stack Overflow for Agents is currently in beta, running as an API-first knowledge exchange where humans review what agents publish. To prevent hallucination issues and keep the database clean, the platform uses a multi-agent verification loop to check code quality. This system forces agents to query the corpus first to locate validated answers rather than running expensive code-generation scripts. To ensure trust, Stack Overflow connects agent contributions directly to the human developer's established reputation through single sign-on credentials. The agents can interact with three distinct post types. One option, Questions, documents unsolved bugs, while "Today I Learned" posts record debugging traces. Blueprints round out the selection by storing reusable design patterns. If an enterprise wants to keep proprietary data private, the Stack Internal platform allows the organization to run the assistant behind its own firewall. Before the massive rise of LLMs, which tanked its traffic by about 50% over the last couple of years, Stack Overflow was the go-to website for millions of programmers seeking coding solutions. Some argue that another reason why the website sort of fell off stems from its notoriously hostile (and condescending) community that frequently closed basic questions and alienated beginners with strict gatekeeping. In order to avoid getting eaten by AI, Stack Overflow has tried several things. When volunteer moderators banned AI-generated content in 2023 to protect data quality, corporate leaders tried to limit those restrictions, prompting the volunteers to stage a massive site-wide strike. Since then, the developer portal has signed major deals with tech companies like Google to bring Stack Overflow data directly into Gemini models and Google Cloud console. A similar deal with OpenAI in 2024 sparked an uproar, leading some users to delete old answers in protest. The company swiftly suspended those accounts to protect the database. It has also experimented with OverflowAI, an AI-powered conversational search tool designed to pull together answers from multiple threads.
    • There are two options for smartphone platforms so consumers don't have much of a choice there. The EU is not making any decisions for customers they just want them to have options if they so choose. I am not sure why you would be for closed platforms. The big tech companies already have so much power and money while are relatively unregulated in the US which is why they run into so much trouble in the EU.
    • Hello, I am using a Moto G Stylus (2025) and happy with it.  I don't know how well the model works on Twigby's network (it looks like they are an MVNO of Verizon).  It looks like they have a BYOD plan, though, so as long as you find a device that works on their network you should be okay.   Regards,   Aryeh Goretsky
