[Official] Anime/Manga Thread


Recommended Posts

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.

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?

deathnote, best anime ever.

Paprika was awesome.

Havnt watched any gundams.

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.

    • 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.

    • 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.
