[Official] Anime/Manga Thread


Recommended Posts

ಠ_ಠ This is one reason why otaku culture scares me.

What?

The Live action Wangan Midnight Movie too awesome for words but the sound track could use some work.

also i may put my watching of Legend of Galactic Heros on hold seeing as the blu-rays are coming out now.

Latest FMA:B and Durarara!! where great! The plot from Durarara!! is getting really interesting. Looking forward to this week's episode called "Strongest Man Alive" with as it seemed Shizuo Heiwajima and Izaya Orihara as the main characters. That's going to be an awesome episode for sure :D

The next FMA: B is also going to be pretty interesting with Greed fighting against Bradley :o

well im seeing rips of the first 10 eps atm all in 1280x960 and 5.1ch

That would be 1080p source downscaled to 720p.

@Capric0rn - Next FMA: B episode is definitely going to be kick-ass with that fight incoming :D

well better rips will come along in time just some people want to see it as HD as they can then again most of them will be watching it on their 22 to 24" monitors on which true 1080p is just wasted.

Of course but there are some 23/24" LCD's out there with true 1080p, just correcting your definition of native Blu-ray resolution ;)

no i was stating that 1080p movies/TV is wasted on 22/24" monitors

How so?

And THORA should now get their hands on Legend of the Galactic Heroes, they would do an excellent release.

I've got a 1080p LCD monitor which is HD ready. I've watched the 1080p version of "Neon Genesis Evangelion - 1.11 You Are (Not) Alone" on it and it looked awesome :)

@Radish?: The past few episodes of FMA:B where very revealing. Now that Greed is showing his "true-self", there's no doubt that their fight is going to be awesome :D Let's just hope that Greed isn't going to be killed by Bradley because that would mean the end of Lin Yao as well.

^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.

Man, I've added so many shows to my list lately, thanks for all the suggestions (Y)

I have a hard time finding out where to watch shows these days, is there a great site that I can subscribe to? I've seen Cruchyroll and it looked like a good site but I don't know whether it's the best one.

ps.. 200 pages w00t :p

You're more then welcome and I'm sure we'll have more recommendations. Like for instance: Freedom, Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 and Rideback :)

Also, regarding your question: check your PM ;)

Lin has strong determination in his favour, don't think he'll be dying any time soon (Y)

because it just looks better on a bigger screen say 47" like mine :D

Well duh :p

I LOL'ed at the end as the car was definitely not a Z. Not a fan of the soundtrack myself.

    • Instagram now lets you manually reorder posts on your profile grid by David Uzondu Instagram is finally rolling out the ability to customize your feed layout as you see fit by letting you reorder posts on your profile grid. This feature comes several months after the app introduced a tool that lets users rearrange photos and videos within a carousel post after it has already been published. To do that, people tap the three-dot menu in the top right corner of the post, select the edit option, and reorganize their slides. Now that Instagram has expanded the feature to your profile grid, you can organize your main page without deleting old uploads. To use the new system, you simply tap any picture on your grid and select the option to reorder. This action opens up a separate screen where you can freely drag your grid items around until you get your preferred aesthetic, and then you just hit the back button to save your changes. Instagram's Threads account posted that the system would reach accounts starting this week, so you might need to wait for the automatic update to hit your phone. https://www.threads.com/@instagram/post/DZVV_fyjjSW In other Instagram news, last week, people figured out that if you ask Meta's AI support assistant to hand over any Instagram account, the bot will actually hand it over (even if the victim's account had 2FA enabled). The security exploit involved the assistant accepting prompts from users and generating password reset links for unauthorized email addresses. Meta said that the issue has now been fixed, but this came after the issue affected several high-profile accounts, including @obamawhitehouse. Last month, the company finally rolled out paid subscription tiers for WhatsApp and other Meta social platforms after months of testing. WhatsApp Plus costs $2.99 a month and gives you custom themes, while Instagram Plus and Facebook Plus cost $3.99 a month for extra profile customization and story rewatch counters. Meta's also working on Meta One, a unified subscription service that contains options for heavy users of its servers who want more reach or advanced features. For instance, Meta One Essential ($14.99/mo) comes with a verified badge and impersonation protection. If you pay for Meta One Premium ($19.99/mo), you get deeper AI reasoning tools, whereas the Meta One Advanced ($49.99/mo) tier increases your search placement (on Facebook and Instagram) and visibility.
    • Hello mysterious lamborghiniv10, I was in Australia and... now I'm in the Netherlands. 
    • EU says Meta must restore rival chatbots' access to WhatsApp by Hamid Ganji The European Commission has ordered Meta to restore third-party AI chatbots’ access to WhatsApp after the tech giant decided to block them from operating on the popular messaging platform. After Meta banned rival AI chatbots from operating on WhatsApp, the European Commission launched an antitrust investigation to determine whether the company had abused its market dominance. As a result of Meta’s decision, third-party AI chatbots, including Microsoft’s Copilot and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, were prevented from operating on WhatsApp. At the time, Meta said it wanted to reserve the WhatsApp Business API for other types of businesses and did not allow rival chatbots to use it. This effectively prevented the WhatsApp ecosystem from being used to distribute rival chatbot services. However, the European Commission has now announced an interim measures decision requiring Meta to restore access to WhatsApp for rival general-purpose AI assistants on the same terms and conditions as before October 15, 2025. The Commission has also asked Meta to maintain that access until the antitrust investigation is concluded. The Commission argues that Meta has used its dominant market position to prevent rival AI chatbots from accessing the WhatsApp Business API. While Meta allowed rival services to return to WhatsApp by paying a fee, the European Commission still considers that arrangement to be a de facto access ban. According to EU antitrust chief Teresa Ribera, the fees introduced by Meta are so high that using WhatsApp is no longer economically sustainable for competitors. “It seems that Meta expects to leverage the vast reach and likely dominance of WhatsApp to benefit its own AI assistant and to foreclose rivals,” Ribera said. “We cannot let large digital incumbents leverage their dominance of the past to dictate who in Europe gets to compete and who gets to innovate in AI.”
    • A few years ago walmart had the 512 models on clearance for $35. I bought 3 of them. I should have purchased more.
    • I'm fine with a little reasonable promotion of Edge, but the degree which they do it right now I consider extremely unreasonable.
