[Official] Anime/Manga Thread


Recommended Posts

I only managed to find episodes upto 4th March which is titled "Activate the Forbidden Jutsu" (episode number 150). My guess is arc might go on until around episode 155-160 :(

Oh no, that is bad news :(

Just finished watching History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi. Good series, don't ask why or how I ended up finding it. :laugh:

I have to say Nijima is one of the funniest characters in an anime I've ever seen.

Moving onto The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya now.

Awesome:

TvTropes all well known anime series and you get lost for hours.

Even though Ghost in the Shell: SAC features a fantastic cast, this is what made me feel like I was watching an intelligent series:

In a big way. Ghost in the Shell has been classified by some commentators as Neo-Cyberpunk or Post-Cyberpunk rather than classic 1980s Cyberpunk, in that the protagonists of GITS work for the government and hunt down terrorists instead of being urban guerillas and streetpunks fighting against governments and mega-corps. Most noticeably, while GITS shows a global community still suffering from the aftereffects of a third and fourth World War, the society in those nations that we get to see has not utterly collapsed and segregated into corporate wage-slaves living in gated communities ("arcologies") on the one hand and the rest of the population living in dismal slums outside the system. The Japan of GITS, while being something of a police state with government and intelligence service controlling the propaganda permeating the media, still has an urban middle class, nature resorts and traditional society. Even the poor and the refugees in their ghetto are not "invisible" and "falling through the cracks" (except in a social sense). Instead, cyberbrain interconnectedness is widespread and surveillance by public cameras, spy satellites and the Net is all-pervasive.

History's Strongest Disciple Kenpachi was a good series. I esp liked the fight at the end where he used all styles respective to each of his masters :pinch:

There is some damn detailed info in there. I'm gonna get lost for a while, thanks (Y)

TVTropes is great. I spent so much time on it last semester during one of my classes looking up tropes for series' I have watched and other random things.

This is still one of my favorite pages to visit just for the hilarious content linked on it.

Guess I've got something nice in store for me this evening: Pale Cocoon :D I've also gotten Yasuhiro Yoshiura's even earlier work called Mizu no Kotoba which I'll be watching after Pale Cocoon :)

be prepared to be depressed for the rest of your life knowing there will never be a computer as awesome as the one in Pale Cocoon

Turns out that both animes where really interesting. Definitely a recommendation if you like Yasuhiro Yoshiura's Eve no Jikan :D

@yurithedragonhalf: Haven't gotten depressed :p

That's for sure. Yasuhiro Yoshiura is really making great progress with his own, kinda unique stories. Can't wait to see what Eve no Jikan's 2nd season has in store for us :D

Whoa, Pale Cocoon looks good!

Anime News Network is such a useful website (Y)

Can't wait to see what Eve no Jikan's 2nd season has in store for us :D

I really do hope there will be a second season, the barrier between androids/humans getting broken down was touching (Y)

^That means you haven't watched CENCOROLL (jumped into my mind the minute I read your post). I'd recommend to watch that anime as well. Prepare to get blown away by a piece of work directed and animated by one and the same guy :)

@Radish?: It was indeed :) Yasuhiro Yoshiura has really won me over with that bit. I'm gonna be watching all current episodes non-stop soon :D Gonna be interesting to see the extra footage from the movie btw.

    • Seriously 1.8gig....so what. Any computer, if you are going to do serious work on, in 2026 should have a mimimum of 16gig and I would say 32-64gig is the way to go.
    • So again, you'd consider "I'm happy with my LG TV" to be a valid response to an article about PlayStation? I get the "I don't like any of their products" but how does that in any way invoke Linux? It just feels very random.
    • State of Decay 2, Blasphemous 2, and more join Xbox Free Play Days by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The latest Free Play Days offer has just kicked off, giving Xbox players the chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. The offerings this time aren't as massive as last weekend, but there are still major releases for Xbox players to jump into. This includes Undead Labs' post-apocalyptic title State of Decay 2, as well as two Team17-published titles. Two of the games being offered this time are available to all Xbox players without needing any kind of Game Pass subscription. In the fully free-to-play section, you can jump into State of Decay 2. The title is both an action survival title and a community builder, letting players choose a map, set up their base, and try to keep the growing zombie threat at bay. Cooperative play is available too. Don't forget that the studio is preparing a third entry for 2027. Next, Blasphemous 2 drops in for Metroidvania and Soulslike fans, where The Penitent One returns for another adventure. The title has tough combat with multiple weapon options, deadly traps to avoid, and platforming sequences requiring a lot of patience and timing. Keep in mind though that the offer does have a 5-hour time limit attached to it. Lastly, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can now try out the WWII-set first-person shooter Hell Let Loose. The multiplayer game offers 50 vs 50 combat in massive maps, with infantry, tank, and artillery options available for players. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: Hell Let Loose (Xbox Series X|S, PC) State of Decay 2: Juggernaut Edition (Xbox Series X|S, PC) Blasphemous 2 (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. The Free Play Days collection will show up in this area. This week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 11, at 11:59 pm PT.
