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

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:

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

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.

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.

^ 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.

Yeah I never got in on that, I feel left out :cry:

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.

i was on the internet this week and i found this

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.

:D

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:

    • 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.
