[Official] Anime/Manga Thread


Recommended Posts

I found out something interesting tonight that no matter how many times you watch one of the Detective Conan movies they still give you that feeling of thrill and suspense even though you know who dun it. Now just need April 17th to roll round for the 14th movie Magic Kaito to come out and the new season is off to a great start.

Also picking a Hotel for the MCM expo in may is hard damn it.

LOL! Such an awesome easteregg in Durarara episode 11. Isaac and Miria from Bacanno made an appearance as Dollars members :D

Pretty neat how the "Dollars" was set up. It's still getting more interesting with each episode if you ask me :)

Wow, just finished After Story now. Amazing anime. The range of emotions After Story took me through, wow just wow. The impact the whole story has on you is just incomparable to anything I've ever seen.

On a side note: I'll probably move onto GTO now. Any one wanna recommend/criticize it?

CLANNAD + CLANNAD ~After Story~ = masterpiece :D

Really? How many episodes are left? :unsure:

Well, the anime is about 5 to 6 chapters behind the manga. The manga is almost done, as the characters are in a final battle against the original homunculis. Was a great manga chapter, showing off Hohenhiems true power. Never saw any of this coming, but its going to be awesome in animation.

Unless they start a new story line, this series will be over very soon. I would love for it to just end, so that they do not spoil such a great concept and series.

Definitely recommend it! I'm sure MaskedForever would too :p

According to ANN there are 63 episodes. I read the manga and unless they start a new story arc then it would sound about right.

Yeah I hope they don't spoil it with some filler arc (like they do with bleach and naruto) :huh:

GTO is pretty good, I can see why so many people love it, but I like watching shows that follow a single storyline more.

I'm watching it, just slower than most.

What do you think so far?

Already finished it.

Really good show, definitely worth watching.

Lots of action/fight scenes, good music.

General question about FMA:

Is the mangaka finally going to conclude with a relationship between Edward and Winry or is it going to be another lame shounen tease story, which is a very popular narrative in shounen anime like Naruto?

I don't recommend watching GTO if you enjoyed Clannad. One is a love drama and another is a coming of age story of high school students with an amazing role model.

CLANNAD + CLANNAD ~After Story~ = masterpiece :D

I disagree completely. Clannad is a soap opera and it does not push any boundaries of what the anime world can offer. It simply is a popular anime series that gained acclaim because of its drama.

@HilariousNinja: Have you watched Honey and Clover yet?

Yes, this is a great recommendation for HilariousNinja. I would also like to add Kanon, Ef ~ A Tale of Memories and Kimi ga Nozomu Eien. The user you would most likely share similar opinions would be SidVicious and Capric0rn. Check out their MAL profile.

Definitely recommend it! I'm sure MaskedForever would too :p

/refrains from criticizing how too many people like drama in anime like Gundam Seed and Clannad.

I decided to go to Code Geass instead of GTO. Don't know why.

Good idea. It focuses on drama and exaggerated emotions rather with some mecha battles throw in, unlike GTO. You might also enjoy Death Note and Gundam SEED too.

I'm not a big fan of mecha's to be perfectly be honest but I've watched Death Note and heard about the similarities with Geass so I thought I may give it a go.

I haven't found an anime that I loved as much as Death Note, but Code Geass is the closest ive found.

    • Just pull a 4Chan and ignore the UK gov, or better troll them. It's not like they can enforce the fine across border.
    • It has NEVER been shown that all these overreaching creepy methods of surveillance have ever saved a child or prevented a terrorist attack. Not a single one. It's the kind of people like you who just wave it away as "paranoid conspiracy" that makes big tech and governments this creepy mass data hoarding entities. Not only that, 3/4 of these surveillance ideas undermine the very foundations of safe online communication because they always want to have a backdoor in everything "just in case" they might need it to... checks the notes "save the children". If you put a backdoor into encryption chain there is no encryption chain anymore. You know what encryption keeps safe? Your medical records, your online shopping and credit card during payment, your photos in the cloud, your emails, your passwords, everything. There is ZERO guarantee only the good guys will use it. And if you think police suddenly can't apprehend child abusers because of encryption, Epstein was running his entire sex trafficking ring using GMail which is not even encrypted end to end. Or to make matters even worse, USA has a **** and a good buddy of Epstein as a president. Absolutely NOTHING has been done to address it. Maxwell just got a better "hotel" room as a reward. This clearly shows how they absolutely don't really care about the children but they care about the absolute control over all of us. And you're defending them here. Good grief. On top of constant attempts to insert backdoors into encryption chain, the entire age verification nonsense is again entirely over reaching, creepy, invades everyone's privacy with premise of yet again "protecting the children" instead of demanding device makers to provide simple and powerful tools for PARENTS to control how their children use devices and what they do on them. THIS would be the way, not the stupid age verification for everyone. Imagine if government would be dictating companies how their phones work and not the company's IT department. The parents should be the IT department to their children. And for everyone excusing "they are not knowledgeable enough" buuuuuulsheat. We live in a digital age, if you have children now, you absolutely are well versed in digital everything at least to basic extent. If you're not, how do you even function in these times then? Reality is that parents are just lazy and don't want to deal with this. They want government to raise their kids because they are too busy scrolling stupid Instagram and Tiktok or some bs.
    • You could make the argument that K should not be included, but FC, the fried chicken, is not the framework, it's the product. It's the Paint in Paint.NET. A closer analogy is if KFC included the name of the deep fryer they used. HennyPennyFC.
    • Flying as the central point eh... As a massive Spyro fan who has replayed the Reignited Trilogy three times and the originals 4 times... I have some doubts, but maybe...
    • Apple is expanding Private Cloud Compute beyond its own data centers by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, as part of the improved Apple Intelligence capabilities, Apple today announced that it is expanding Private Cloud Compute (PCC), its privacy-focused cloud infrastructure for Apple Intelligence, beyond its own data centers for the first time. Private Cloud Compute was designed to handle Apple Intelligence requests that are too complex to run fully on-device. The PCC system does not store user data and does not allow Apple or anyone else to access user requests. Last year, Apple also expanded its Security Bounty program with rewards of up to $1 million for researchers who could find serious vulnerabilities in PCC. Until now, Apple's PCC data centers were using Apple's own silicon. As part of the expansion, Apple is working with Google and NVIDIA to run new Apple Intelligence workloads on Google Cloud systems powered by NVIDIA GPUs. Apple will be using this new infrastructure to execute more demanding AI tasks while maintaining the same privacy and security guarantees of PCC. The new implementation uses NVIDIA Confidential Computing with NVIDIA GPUs, Intel CPUs with TDX, and Google’s Titan chip. Apple says it has worked with Google to build additional protections beyond a traditional confidential computing deployment. Despite the expansion to third-party data centers, Apple claims that its core PCC requirements remain unchanged, including stateless computation, no privileged runtime access, non-targetability, and verifiable transparency. The company highlighted that it will continue to control the PCC software stack, and Apple devices will only trust PCC software that has been cryptographically approved by Apple. To take security to the next level, Apple mentioned that it is maintaining an append-only ledger of Google Cloud hardware that is part of the PCC fleet. The company claims this will help reduce the risk of supply chain attacks. In addition to AI infrastructure, Apple also worked with Google to use technologies behind the Gemini family of models to build the next generation of Apple Foundation Models to power Apple Intelligence features across on-device and cloud workloads. As expected, for more demanding AI tasks like agentic tool use and complex reasoning, Apple will rely on the expanded PCC infrastructure running on Google Cloud. The expansion of PCC on Google Cloud will gradually ramp toward the full set of protections during the summer preview period. As before, Apple will also publish binaries for public inspection, provide research tooling, and give researchers access to live PCC nodes in research mode through the Apple Security Bounty Program.
