[Official] Anime/Manga Thread

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

Indeed :D Was very noticable in the previous episode. The conversation between him and Greed was nicely done imo :)

That conversation was awesome. Greed finally showed weakness and Lin took over. The next episode will hopefully be intense. My friend watched the last episode with me, only have ever read the manga, and was amazed at how accurate it was. Almost every other scene he was like, " Dude, it was drawn like this. This is so amazing. They haven't changed a bit!"

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 ;)

Thanks again, much appreciated :D

What show are you talking about with that conversation?..

I downgraded Eve no Jikan to 8/10 after looking back at it. It's nothing special. The only redeeming factor about that anime series is its inclusion of Isaac Asimov's three robotic laws. Everything else is taken from True Tears and mixed with some silly drama.

^Those laws are also used in Meguriau Sekai which is made by the same director who made Eve no Jikan :)

@Radish?: WIN!

@shakey: BONES would be happy to hear that, haha :p

I wonder when a new, intelligent franchise comes out... There's nothing but pop culture, recursive parodies and fantasies. More world politics and action that are relevant to current times like Full Metal Panic! (Second Raid), Black Lagoon and others.

Have you watched Dennou Coil?

i don't see anything like that happening any time soon Japan seems to be making what ever sells best in Japan right now i don't think they even think of the export market much anymore.

Just for a post's sake, Code Geass and Death Note are not intelligent anime series. They focus too much on drama and terrible, predictable plot twists that remove the amazing potential they both had.

I'm struggling to go past the first episodes. It's incredibly hollow since the first few episodes is the chase of a silly virus characterized by fluffy bunny syndrome. I think I will be dropping it if I can't get past another few episodes soon when I have the interest.

'Tis a pity.

It does take a a while to open up but it's worth it IMO.

And I'll leave this here :blink: :rofl:

i admit sunrise could have done better in R2 but as a fellow field commander i have the utmost respect for Lulu being able to take a small rebel movement and turn it into a full blown army.

'Tis a pity.

I for one am enjoying the new season but it could do with another show like Hayate The Combat Butler or a new season of it.

And I'll leave this here :blink: :rofl:

That thing better not be there when i go or else i shall turn it into light.

Lulu does not turn anything into anything. She... I mean he only exists as another Light, from Death Note. He is the glorification of teenage naiveity that is gobbled up by the 13-18 demographic. No one should respect any political or strategic action by any of the characters. It's popular in every anime series gears towards the "older teens". Sunrise merely turned Gundam into something of a spinoff. There's nothing special, unique or outstanding. The anime series is the epitome of looks without substance. It's such a pity that you see such high production values go into teenage drivel.

The beginning of Dennou Coil is a bit slow and I had a hard time with it too, but if you keep watching it the show picks up steam and I really liked it actually.

Code geass is less the gundam spin off and more Warhammer 40,000 century 1 the anim? with the birth of the God emperor.(basically it's what would happen if you tried to apply plot to warhammer40K)

but what you get with death note is nothing more than something to get the fangirls all wet and excited.

and just to pick at gundam. Gundam is just physicsles schi-fi at it's best legs and useless in space also most of the factions you see imn gundam anim? are usually Nazis or the UN and terrorists.

A heartfelt episode of Kimi no Todoke with Chizu-chan's feelings coming to a halt :cry:

Going back into the past with her childhood was hilarious though, "Tohru! Mushi!" :laugh: :happy:

    • Sorry but that makes no sense. What does using the same laptop have to do with anything? 
    • Playground drops 30 minutes of Fable gameplay, shows off life sim and morality system by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Playground Games gave fantasy RPG fans a new look at its Fable reboot last Sunday at the Xbox Games Showcase. While that was a short cinematic trailer revealing the main villain of the storyline, played by Hayley Atwell, today, the development team released an entire gameplay demo to show off the game in action. There is some combat and action near the end of it, but most of the demo is focused on the game's NPC simulation, relationships, choices players can make, and the complex reputation system. The studio is touting over 1,000 hand-crafted NPCs who have jobs, homes, routines they follow in their villages and outskirts, and a memory of what is going on in the world and what actions the player has done. All of these are voiced by real people too. The demo begins with a short interaction with a butcher who wants to kill a talking pig named Colin. The protagonist chooses to save Colin by paying the butcher a bunch of gold for his troubles, giving the hero a rise in reputation for being shrewd, merciful, and virtuous. There were also options to simply let Colin get killed or even fight the butcher for the pig instead of paying him. How NPCs judge the player depends on how they interact with the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doV0yq4kAP0 Later, the demo shows off how purchasing and managing businesses work, where players can hire employees, change their wages, tweak the price of the shop items, and reap profits if they do well. Different NPCs react differently to each type of reputation the player is touting. One shop owner jacks up prices by 80% just because the player is rich and owns businesses. The demo even shows the player deciding to attack random villagers and causing a ruckus in the streets, turning the hero into a criminal. This is where the magic combat systems are shown off, where the player can teleport, turn enemies into chickens, sword-fight, and more. "This is how you’ll build an extraordinary life in Fable. It’s all about shades of grey – it’s not us or the game telling you what is good and what is bad," says Dan Greer, Lead Game Designer. "With the Living Population, it’s the NPCs themselves judging your actions." Fable is releasing across PC and Xbox Series X|S on February 23, 2027. Premium Edition owners will be able to play starting on February 18 instead. Xbox Game Pass subscribers will also be able to jump in at launch for no extra cost.

    • My current phone, on left, is starting to go to sleep, and not turning on, even though I press the power button 100 times. Like CPR.   I tried factory resetting it, and nothing changed. So it's the hardware failing. I currently am using Twigby as my service provider. Cheapest I can get around here. But all their phones are carp.. https://www.twigby.com/shop/twigby-phones A friend warned me about the Moto G, as his neice has one, and isn't that good at $130. Also the Samsung A15 is laughable at best. Everything else is expensive af. I want android, (hate iOS) any version, that works with Twigby, under $100, please. Refurbished/Used is OK with me, as long as it isn't beat up.   If you know the IMEI number, you can see if it works with Twigby: https://www.twigby.com/page/byod
