[Official] Anime/Manga Thread

A cute ending for Kimi ni Todoke...and Pin was just Pin again. :p

Ooooh, can't wait to watch it :happy:

Watched Kowarekake no Orgel last night, an dōjin OVA with a story similar to Chobits! Animation/artwork was definitely above par for a self-published OVA; nicely detailed, fluid and vibrant (the backdrops are just awesome). However, the character development/human emotion within is what makes this shine and recently, a side-story has been announced; which I'm looking forward to now :D

And finished Sora no Woto just now. I was expecting the "moe" characters to be overpowering after watching the first few episodes but as I went through, it turned out to be a really nice series about friendship, music and war, with a hint of mecha. The soundtrack by Michiru Oshima was superb (Y) :yes:

Did anyone watched "Eden of the East the Movie I King of Eden", I just got it but haven't had any chance of watching it yet.

Had it for a few days now, just haven't got round to watching it. Might do it tonight.

RapeLay is not that bad, there are some worse things on TV.

The funny thing is Japan has one of the lowest rates of rape in the world (1.9 per 100,000). The CNN report paints the pornographic game as if it might cause people to go out and do such horrible acts in real life. The woman's rights group needs to learn about the Streisand effect.

Nothing is more anti intellectual than a group tries to control what other people regulate the morality of artwork.

It's just hit me that they'll have to ban Evangelion and Code Geass in the UK after the 6th and many many more if upskirts and deemed illegal.

Depends if they will re-evaluate existing anime under the new law, Evangelion 2.0 will be screened in May at London.

I found an amazing anime streaming site. It streams in 480p and 720p. Enjoy: http://www.animedreaming.com/

Why don't you just keep your stuff and Truecrypt an external hard drive? It's such a waste to delete hundreds of hours worth of stuff you painstakingly searched for.

Well, well. Look who was one of the writers behind Ghost in the Shell 2nd GiG: http://myanimelist.n.../Okamura_Tensai

He also was one of the writers for Cowboy Bebop, the creator of the Darker than Black manga, Samurai Champloo and one episode of Ouran High School Host Club. He also one of the key animators of the Ghost in the Shell and was behind some of the episodes of an interesting romantic comedy that had quite a successful run from 1988 to 1992 called Yawara! I can't find any completed subs or translated manga. v_v

I just realized that the most popular Japanese animation manga and anime in the West side of the world are greatly influenced by a select group of people, such as Kenji Kamiyama (Ghost in the Shell, Higashi no Eden, Serei no Moribito).

    • Seriously 1.8gig....so what. Any computer, if you are going to do serious work on, in 2026 should have a mimimum of 16gig and I would say 32-64gig is the way to go.
    • So again, you'd consider "I'm happy with my LG TV" to be a valid response to an article about PlayStation? I get the "I don't like any of their products" but how does that in any way invoke Linux? It just feels very random.
    • State of Decay 2, Blasphemous 2, and more join Xbox Free Play Days by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The latest Free Play Days offer has just kicked off, giving Xbox players the chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. The offerings this time aren't as massive as last weekend, but there are still major releases for Xbox players to jump into. This includes Undead Labs' post-apocalyptic title State of Decay 2, as well as two Team17-published titles. Two of the games being offered this time are available to all Xbox players without needing any kind of Game Pass subscription. In the fully free-to-play section, you can jump into State of Decay 2. The title is both an action survival title and a community builder, letting players choose a map, set up their base, and try to keep the growing zombie threat at bay. Cooperative play is available too. Don't forget that the studio is preparing a third entry for 2027. Next, Blasphemous 2 drops in for Metroidvania and Soulslike fans, where The Penitent One returns for another adventure. The title has tough combat with multiple weapon options, deadly traps to avoid, and platforming sequences requiring a lot of patience and timing. Keep in mind though that the offer does have a 5-hour time limit attached to it. Lastly, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can now try out the WWII-set first-person shooter Hell Let Loose. The multiplayer game offers 50 vs 50 combat in massive maps, with infantry, tank, and artillery options available for players. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: Hell Let Loose (Xbox Series X|S, PC) State of Decay 2: Juggernaut Edition (Xbox Series X|S, PC) Blasphemous 2 (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. The Free Play Days collection will show up in this area. This week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 11, at 11:59 pm PT.
