I just found out that Jin-Roh: Wolf Brigade is part of an epic called Kerberos (Cerberus) Saga.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerberos_saga#Releases

In 1999, the manga series was completed (Acts 5~8) and re-released as two compilation volumes. Few months later was released Jin-Roh (人狼, Jinrou) the anime adaptation of the first manga. It remains the franchise's most popular work outside Japan until today.

^ Surprised that you didn't know that, being a fan of Oshii's work an all. StrayDog: Kerberos Panzer Cops is a decent film if you haven't watched it (Y)

Very happy that Black Lagoon's 3rd season OVA is focused on kick-ass Roberta :happy:

Anyone have an answer to my question about which path FMA manga/anime is taking regarding Edward and Winry?

Less Roberta. More Rok, please. The only reason I watched the anime series was because of Rok and his interaction with characters who are the complete opposite of him. Nothing beats the Balalaika arc.

I never really checked into Jin-Roh's background but always had a feeling that it was just a fraction of a huge story that I did not know.

@Masked Forever: Don't forget that Radish™ probably also shares a similar opinion about it :p

I'm the minority when it comes to the drama genre and slice of life in this thread. I can count the number of anime series from those genres that I actually enjoyed on one hand.

OMG I can't wait for that to come out!

Black Lagoon is one of the best action shows out there :)

Revy ftw!!!

Holy ****. Bleach manga was EPIC!

This was sort of what I was expecting the whole time. I knew Aizen was going to start to reveals Ichigo's hidden family secret and that his Dad would show up in time, but still.... so ****en great of an chapter!

Finally Naruto Shippuuden has started on an I've been greatly looking forward to! :laugh:

And the manga has reached an intriguing point as well :woot:

Dude I'm so glad that filler is over. Maybe naruto will finally get to chuunin lol

I heard that they are going back to filler rather soon but I hope that is false :p

Also did you agree with sasuke and how he came to that conclusion?

Like I've said before.

I'm a huge fan of Gundam Wing, Full metal alchemist, and .hack//

I've decided to throw in my queue the following: Gundam 00, Death Note, and Paprika. I also need to start watching FMA Brotherhood.

Cheers to any more recommendations! I prefer English dubs.

:( Gintama is ending. I blame Bleach. Lame shounen anime with so much filler that they can create four new seasons with it. Gintama > Bleach and Naruto. It is the best shounen anime series in the past two years.

The final episode was aired on March 25th. "Yorinuki Gintama (rerun of selected episode)" will start from April 5th.

Source: Screenshot of the final episode, Screenshot2

Here's an interesting blog I came across: http://www.fabricerequin.com. It's very professionally made with some great photos by an 18 year old.

I take it you don't read the manga? :p

It would really suck if they did show a filler arc anytime soon :( Btw which conclusion are you referring to?

Just watched episode 16 of the first season of Code Geass (it's the one where Nunaly is taken). Probably the best episode of the series I've seen so far. Does anyone else find Lelouch's character just really annoying, something about him just makes me really dislike him.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      After watching the Apple event earlier this week it is quite the contrast. Apple is going back and tweaking the code to make things more efficient in may areas of MacOS. Windows is boosting your electric build to hide their issues.

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
