I think so too. She looks more........ sinister :devil:

Dude, Naoi is a guy :pinch: The way he put his hat on gave the impression of his forthcoming dark intentions :rofl:

[Matrix XII]

By the looks of it, Ichigo goes into Vizard mode in Bleach #269 (Y)

[SidVicious]

Indeed, the plot has now changed with Naoi coming into the picture at the end (who has darker intentions IMO).

Hinata's body turning was epic :laugh:

And Naoi looks like Naoto from Persona 4. :p

Ooops my bad :blush: I just noticed the uniform :pinch:

Btw at which point do they show him wearing a hat? I don't remember seeing that :blink: To me his face looked sinister (for some reason) :shiftyninja:

Na, It shouldn't be till episode 271. There is still all the yammy battling with ishida and then the captains, then ichigo goes vizard in the middle of that. Close, but I don't think it is next episode, though I really do hope you are correct. Been waiting so long to see it.

There are some released clips of Naruto Sage Mode vs Pain. Looks pretty clean.

A friend of mine made the exact same comment, and I can kind of see it too.

Great Yammy battling Ishida... :|

Why doesn't Bleach just do a full episode of a battle between Ichigo and Ulquiorra... it's been like a year hasn't it? :p

Naruto sage mode looks pretty cool. I don't know what happens in the manga (don't tell me) but I hope he kicks pain's ass!

It will throw you for loops and leave you sick at the end :p but then it will nurse you back with more awesomeness lol

The bleach fight is actually pretty good between yammi and Ishida, but quickly turns into something crazy. If you haven't read the manga, you will be in for a surprise.

[Matrix XII]

Well that's good news hahah

One Piece anime is awesome right now too if anyone is watching it (Y)

^ I don't think I would able to be THAT enthusiastic about each and every fight in an anime episode or manga chapter. I'm going to laugh when I finally come across these FMA: Brotherhood episodes and then remember how there were tens of forum pages dedicated to describing each and every action of the characters. :laugh:

Not every fight is great, but there are some epic ones. Lately though, Naruto and Bleach are in total epic mode with fights being between the main chars and extremely powerful main villains.

Air Gear has one of the worst manga plot twists I have ever witnessed since Naruto and School Rumble. ARGH! 27 volumes wasted...

3/10 (Terrible. Stop reading the manga after the 15th volume)

LOL. It's really hard to screw up as bad as the School Rumble manga did. I'm a huge fan of it, but the ending was terrible. Won't be reading Air Gear...

Even though I did not like School Rumble that much (it's not my cup of tea), there were many moments that I laughed and liked some of the strong female leads... Then that twist happened... OH GAWD, THE TWIST! I never knew that making the main female lead suffer bipolar disorder less than two volumes away from the ending is even logical. Even little children would think that they are reading something completely messed up.

I would recommend the Air Gear anime series or the first 15 volumes of the manga series to anyone who wants ecchi sports comedy. Apart from that, It warrants the "STAY AWAY OR YOU WILL LOSE IQ POINTS" warning.

I'm kind of jealous that you can be that amazed by the fights. I think I'm desensitized to the grandeur of such fights. There are only a handful of anime and manga series that literally made my jaw drop at how amazing the fight scenes are. Gantz and Berserk are two of them but they're definitely not in the same demographics since they feature way too much blood and gore for me to recommend it to anyone "underage".

Ah, gantz and beserk are just amazing and in their own league. I wish the anime of Gantz was 1/4th the greatness of the manga. But ya, I still get excited for almost anything coming out lately in bleach or naruto. I'm loving it lol.

Don't worry about those Shounen otakus. They love their beat 'em ups. (Just kidding, you guys! I only greatly dislike harem.)

/pats your back

I'm looking forward to watching FMA: B. However, if it's all the same Shounen stuff, then I'm ready to tear the possibly overrated series a new one! >: D

They are way too many manga series out there that are probably better than Gantz. 20th Century Boys, Monster and Battle Royale, just to name a few. If you think that's gorey and perverse, that's nothing compared to most of the Seinen manga out there.

Noooooooooooooooo...

Nothing's worse than reading a manga you are absolutely immersed in then hit the latest translated chapters and only have thirty chapters to go. Anticipation is unbearable!!!

/goes off to find the raw versions of the last three volumes

[Azusa]

i was on the internet this week and i found this

also in other news

Falling for 2D Girls ?Worse Than Cheating with Real Women?

?If he is going to fall for someone else, at least make it an idol. You just can?t compete against a 2D character.?

at least they acknowledge that undeniable fact.

Sankaku Complex is the equivalent of tabloids for anime. Gravure models and ecchi pictures plaster their whole site. It's too bad when they have one of the best layouts for an anime site. It even puts Anime News Network to shame.

it's probably the best source for raw anim? info on the net well for the part of the fan base that cares.

Durarara!! episode 16 was pretty great. Was a turn of events to see that Sonohara actually has the real Saikan. The next episode will surely be interesting :)

[HilariousNinja]

Finished Ouran High School Host Club. Hoping there's a second season made eventually. Very, very funny stuff.

The last episode just made that lasting impression of the show that much sweeter.

Watching Rurouni Kenshin now :)

[rustix]

:D

When he storms the cafeteria with his people after the ending credits ;)

I don't know how but I actually missed that bit :blink: I only watched the preview (or atleast what qualifies for a preview imo:p)

And you are right about how Naoi putting on the cap gives a sense of dark intent but..... it somehow is kinda cool :)

One Piece anime is awesome right now too if anyone is watching it (Y)

Yep it is :) I started reading the manga cuz I couldn't stand the suspense. However since I started reading the manga from the very beginning I still have a long way to go :pinch:

[rustix]

Here's an expression you don't see quite often on Major General Armstrong :p :laugh:

Sorry the quality isn't too good :whistle:
