[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.

    • Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, Apple today announced a revamped Siri AI experience for iOS and iPadOS users. However, this new Siri AI experience will not be available on iPhones and iPads in the European Union when iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 launch later this year. In a detailed press release, Apple blamed the Siri delay on the EU’s Digital Markets Act, highlighting that EU regulators did not accept its proposed solutions for bringing Siri AI to the region. Consequently, there is currently no timeline for Siri AI’s availability on iOS and iPadOS in the EU. Here is what EU users will be missing due to this delay: Siri AI, Apple’s next-generation assistant powered by Apple Intelligence A new dedicated Siri app for revisiting conversations Expanded Visual Intelligence features Integrated AI-assisted writing tools Siri mode in Camera on iOS Other system-level AI features Since the new Siri experience on watchOS 27 is dependent on an iOS 27 device, EU users will also miss out on Siri AI on watchOS 27. The most frustrating part is that even developers based in the EU will not be able to test or use the new Siri AI features for their apps on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and watchOS 27. In its press release, Apple mentioned that making Siri AI available in the EU would require the company to give other AI assistants (like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) broad access to private user data and the ability to control installed apps. Essentially, the EU wants competing AI systems to be able to read and send messages, make purchases, access files, and perform actions across apps. To address these concerns, Apple proposed an intermediary system called Trusted System Agent. This system would have allowed other virtual assistants to access the same features as Siri AI in a safer way. However, the European Commission rejected Apple's proposals, and it is currently unclear why. The good news is that Apple stated it will continue working with EU regulators to bring Siri AI to the region. For now, however, iPhone and iPad users in the EU will have to wait. If platform gatekeepers such as Apple and Google reserve deep operating system capabilities only for their own AI assistants, rival services such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and others will be at a major disadvantage. Modern AI assistants are no longer simple chatbots. They require access to core OS-level capabilities such as reading on-screen context, interacting with installed apps, sending messages, creating calendar events, managing files, and completing user-approved actions across the device. If only Siri on iOS or Gemini on Android can access these capabilities, competing AI services will struggle to offer the same level of convenience, even if their underlying models are better. This is exactly what the European Union's DMA is trying to address. Apple and Google should be allowed to protect user privacy and security, but they should not be permitted to use those concerns as a blanket excuse to block rival AI assistants from getting fair access to core platform features. A secure permission-based framework could allow users to choose their preferred AI assistant without giving any company unrestricted access to personal data.

    • When I was a teen, I actually believed that the government used to be always be the bad guy. However as an adult, someone who has actually seen the Law work (though not perfect). I now think everyone cries a river. In this specific case, the so called freedom has consequences to society. Anyone who has seen how child are indeed affected, and I don't mean only extreme things like getting drugs or hate crimen , but no one can deny society as a whole has gone down a rabbit hole due to exesive use of internet. Before anyone calls out that it's the parents responsibility. Yes that's true, but the reality your family/kids might be good people. There are 99% out there who are not and have been brain dead by many things on the internet.
