:laugh::rofl:

Or even better, a few years from now, they will restart Bleach as "Bleach: Brotherhood" and follow the manga instead of zigzagging everywhere.

lol, ya. But on fairness, the only reason it has to jump away from the manga is due to it catching up. If they did wait, they could have made a stream lined version, but in its current form, they would have to wait months between releases if they wanted to only stick to the manga. Though, if you leave out the filler, Bleach is an exact copy of the manga.

Also, for the rest of bleach, there really isn't any more of orihime crying or whatever. It's mostly captains fighting arrancar and Aizen, with ichigo coming back alone to battle them. His friends and all that are actually still in hueco mundo, and have not interfered with the story in a good while. The manga has really helped renew my interest with the last couple of chapters.

On the other hand, FMA:B looks like we might be catching up to the end and having to take a wait before we get more episodes. They are probably about 3 episodes away from catching up to the manga, and the manga only releases 1 chapter a month. Though the manga is soon to end as well, I think the anime will catch up before it does.

I also gave the Sedoku?? no night raid a try, and it was great. The animation, era it took in, characters powers and interaction was all great. Was this the first and only episode released yet? Is this story taking place after another anime or off of something? As I am a little lost on the characters and how they came to be.

^Would you recommend to someone who hasn't seen any sports anime before? :p

If you enjoy watching football, without a doubt (Y) Otherwise, it's not for you.

There could possibly be a break with 12 episodes left to air till the series finishes.

Time to watch some K-ON!! and Senkou no Night Raid :p

@yurithedragonhalf, watched the last episode of Bund yet?

Then it's a no-go for me, which I kinda expected :p

You'll enjoy Senkou no Night Raid though. I've watched it yesterday and I quite enjoyed it. For some odd reason the ending made me think about GiTS.

Is Senkou no Night Raid a new anime or a pre-existing or sequel to another anime? Are there more episodes out than just 1? I did enjoy the 1st a lot.

I believe it's an anime without a prequel or anything. I think that they're going to explain the characters along the way though.

Also, there's currently only 1 episode out because it's a brand new anime :p

Great start to Giant Killing, captured the competitive essence of football (as well as the managerial problems within clubs) and the character development was decent (Y) The Celtic OP was nice and I liked how the FA Cup was featured as Tatsumi's back-story before he came back to Japan, I'm going to enjoy watching this for sure :)

yeah just started on the show too and anyone for pic'n'mix?

fffpeepsgiantkilling017.jpg

as did i and im also wondering if they'll do the whole "let's teach people how it's all done in England" thing.

Possibly with the back-story an all, just have to see how it pans out.

Going to the all-nighter at the end of the month?

Finished off Code Geass:R2. Loved the ending. The second season really did live up to expectations, I enjoyed the first but R2 took things to another level.

Also, watched the first episode of Honey and Clover. I'm already in love with it.

After watching "Alcatraz Connection", Fujiko from Lupin III has become my favourite "femme fatale" character (Y) :D

Heresy. Motoko (Ghost in the Shell) > all

ever been to one outside the US? (i assume you're from the US)

No, I have not. I do not see the appeal of meeting people who share the same entertainment interests.

Curious question: What percentage of the attendees are otakus?

The ending of Code Geass R2 actually caught me by surprise.

I have yet to watch a mecha anime that is anywhere near as good. I still have Eureka Seven to watch, some say that's better though...

lolno. Code Geass is not mecha. It's teenage drama. If you like that, then check out Tengen Toppen Gurren Lagaan and Gundam Seed. Real Mecha is the old Gundam series, such as 08th MS Team and Zeta Gundam. Code Geass and Eureka Seven are apples and oranges. Eureka Seven has traditional Ghibli tones rather than the flaming drama that CG presents.

    • Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      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.

    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance

      By freedonX · Posted

      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.
