: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.

New anime and it's a series of 13 episodes.

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?

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.

    • Popular Windows 11 file manager Files gets improved tags, layouts, and new OneDrive icon

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      If it ain't broke, don't fix it. One Commander Free also available in the Store has been my goto Files Manager for years. It does what I need at a more than reasonable speed. I do occasionally use Files Explorer just because it is there and does what I need without any problems when I use it.
    • Microsoft is bringing big performance improvements to OneDrive on Mac

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I think you missed his point. He wasn't saying that cloud storage isn't possible on GNU/Linux, clearly it is. He was pointing out that you are commenting about your dislike of Windows on an article about OneDrive (not Windows) for Mac (also not Windows). Its about as off topic as coming to an article about Sony improving something on the PlayStation and saying that you hate Sony TVs and prefer LG.
    • Nvidia's GeForce NOW summer sale drops prices for Ultimate and Premium memberships

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Nvidia's GeForce NOW summer sale drops prices for Ultimate and Premium memberships by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Nvidia has a fresh update for GeForce NOW subscribers today, bringing in more games to add to its ever-growing supported titles list. At the same time, the company announced the kick-off for its summer sale for the streaming subscription service, dropping the prices for both its premium packages for anyone looking to upgrade or join. The offer is for the 12-month membership options that the company offers. This drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. Next, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping prices by $70 from the original $199.99. "The Performance membership delivers smooth, high-quality cloud gaming across devices, with streaming up to 1080p at 60 frames per second (fps) and access to RTX-powered servers for supported games," says Nvidia, describing its tiers. "The Ultimate membership steps things up with RTX 4080‑ or 5080‑class performance in the cloud, supporting up to 4K and beyond on ultrawide displays, up to 120 fps, and advanced features like ray tracing, NVIDIA DLSS and NVIDIA Reflex for a more responsive, visually rich experience." With the sales out of the way, here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: NBA THE RUN (New release on Steam, available on June 9) Witchspire (New release on Steam, available on June 10) SpaceCraft (New release on Steam, available on June 11) Duet Night Abyss (Launcher) DOOM Eternal (Epic Games Store) The Elder Scrolls Online (Xbox, available on Game Pass) Farever (Steam) World of Tanks: HEAT (Wargaming) Nvidia plans to add support for a bunch of more games during the rest of June. Find the full announcement from last week over here. Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month.
    • Microsoft explains why PowerToys 0.100.0 is faster and slimmer, there are new features too

      It's actually shocking how logs filling disks has been a constant issue going back for decades, yet we see very little improvement over the years. Even in the server world, its actually shockingly common for a server to either go totally down, or have a critical alert raised due to logs filling disks.
    • YouTube has finally brought back its DMs feature, but only in these countries

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      YouTube has finally brought back its DMs feature, but only in these countries by David Uzondu Late last year, YouTube started testing a "new" way to share videos directly with friends, without having to leave the app. Now, the video giant has announced that is now rolling out a revamped direct messaging inbox, which lets you share videos, Shorts, and live streams and have conversations about them, directly on YouTube. The platform limits this feature to 18+ users who are signed in to a verified channel and use the latest mobile app version. Direct messaging on YouTube first became a thing back in 2017 inside the mobile app (later renamed to "Messages"), where users could chat one-on-one and share clips directly, but all that came to an end on September 18, 2019, when Google decided to shut it down after giving users a month to download a .zip file archive of their past chats. No one really knows why YouTube killed the feature, but users were encouraged to migrate to the public Comments section, on Community tab posts, and via YouTube Stories. The previous incarnation suffered from moderation challenges, prompting Google to implement stricter safety guidelines and age verifications for this new iteration. Here's a list of the countries where the re-launched feature is currently available, though note that Brand Accounts do not have access to it, at least for now: Countries American Samoa Austria Belgium Brazil Bulgaria Croatia Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark Estonia Finland France Germany Greece Guam Hungary Iceland Ireland Italy Latvia Liechtenstein Lithuania Luxembourg Malta Netherlands Northern Mariana Islands Norway Poland Portugal Puerto Rico Romania Singapore Slovakia Slovenia Spain Sweden Switzerland U.S. Virgin Islands United Kingdom United States Before you can use the feature, you first have to send an invite link to your contact. Invite links expire exactly seven days after you create them. If the person on the other end accepts the invite, you can exchange videos directly and text back and forth inside the app. To delete a message, just long-press on the message and tap unsend to remove it for both users. You can also delete entire conversations by long-pressing the thread and selecting delete, but the other person will continue to see the chat history on their end. To make sure everything remains safe, YouTube monitors these messages to ensure they follow Community Guidelines.
