[Official] Anime/Manga Thread


Recommended Posts

The second half was quite flawed with glaring plot holes that completely ruin the whole setup by the first half and made me remember how much I dislike Holland. He is the Misato (Neon Genesis Evangelion) of Eureka Seven.

The only redeemable factors of the movie was seeing Eureka and Renton together, the amazing animation and the amazing soundtrack. One of the best romance sub plots for an action anime and one of the best soundtracks for an anime series ever.

Agreed, really disliked Holland in this movie as well. Though I love the soundtrack, SUPERCAR FTW (Y)

Berserk87 - Mal

I'm off tomorrow so I'm trying to find a good movie to watch tonight.

The biggest requirement is that its a standalone movie, as in I don't have to watch anything before it to really enjoy the movie.

Another Ghibli film or Lupin III special, particularly Episode 0 'First Contact'.

Currently watching the first two episodes of Yukikaze. Simply stunning CGI. Think Appleseed meets Sky Crawlers. Amazing. (forget the characters and weird story)

'The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya' is on my plan to watch list, and I've heard a LOT about it, but I need to watch 2 or 3 seasons of the series first...which isn't going to happen in one day.

Here's a general movie guide:

If you're willing to watch a movie that requires the brain to be turned on, watch Ghost in the Shell 2.0 and Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence back to back in HD.

If you're looking for a psychedelic mind trip, then watch Tekkon Kinkreet.

If you just blood, watch Ninja Scroll and Vampire D: Bloodlust.

If you want fairy tales, watch Howl's Moving Castle.

If you want female assassins, then any of the Kara no Kyoukai movies.

If you want CGI, then watch Appleseed and its sequel.

If you want a cop suspense thriller/sci-fi, then watch Patlabor 1 & 2 and Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade.

If you want a light hearted, feel good romance, then Ocean Waves.

If you want dystopian sci-fi that revolutionized how anime is animated and produced, then watch Akira.

If you like watching sports anime and want to feel the thrill, then watch Nasu: Summer of Audalusia.

If you just want normal characters with interesting settings, then watch Millennium Actress and Tokyo Godfathers.

If you want a Ghibli movie, then check out my guide.

My recommendation: Ghost in the Shell Ghost in the Shell Ghost in the Shell Ghost in the Shell Ghost in the Shell... Did I mention Ghost in the Shell?

Bonus:

Liked Cowboy Bebop? Loved it? Want moar?!?

Watch Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door.

I dislike Holland in general. He ruins the whole flow of the anime series and presumes roles that don't fit his personality. He needs to be put in his place for being such a man child. It made the anime series get under my skin in the same way in Neon Genesis Evangelion when Misato did something outrageous in the last few episodes.

I second your Lupin recommendations.

Also there isn't a decent 'viewable' sub on the internet it seems. And yeh it seems like people can't seem to get enough of it.

I watched one of the ghost in the shell movies a while ago, but I don't remember which one it was, and I was a little thrown off because I didn't know any of the characters or backstorys.

The first one is a stand alone movie that was released in 1995 before any TV series adaptation.

@Masked Forever: Why did you recommend him Ghost In The Shell 2.0? You should have recommended him the original Ghost In The Shell :p

You'll be surprised at how many people refuse to watch the 1995 version simply because it's too "old".

I didn't mind him in the series as he had somewhat of a purpose but in the movie, he's such a whiny emo bitch :laugh:

Just about to watch Bleach 270... anyone seen it yet?

Learn to read :p

That's their loss if you ask me :p

To me, Holland was a great character in the series. The way he would constantly push Renton to do what he's supposed to do. He was like this kind of father figure to Renton which he seemed to need throughout the series. In the film he was somewhat of a douch trying to get what he wanted. Nonetheless, I liked his character in both stories.

Here another review sans a numerical rating:

Now and Then, Here and There

78395135.jpg

Status: Finished

The plot: ?Now and Then, Here and There follows a young boy named Shuzo "Shu" Matsutani who, in an attempt to save an unknown girl, is transported to another world which is possibly the Earth in the far future. The world is desolate and militarized, and water is a scarce commodity.?

This one is extremely depressing anime(I don?t know how I end up watching these :( ). Now, that?s not a bad thing; it tries to be depressing, and it succeeds at it. If you have any emotion in you, this will get to you.

From what I recall, the art was very nice in this one. But I watched it over a year ago, so don?t take my word on that.

This anime has a very simple premise wrapped in a sci-fi coating: the horrors of war. There?s some sci-fi aspects to it and, if you?re a sci-fi buff, you might get you fill from that.

I highly recommend this one, but I?d have something happy/comical to watch after it.

@Masked Forever: I've started watching season 1 last week. I'm really enjoying the series so far :D

Also, does anyone know which anime are show at the bottom right and the one above that in this image:

FileModernanime.jpg

@Capric0rn

Darker than Black first season was alright. Second was just fan service.

Second last on the right column is Monster, an amazing cop thriller mystery anime.

Thanks, I already thought it looked familiar. It's in my "Plan to watch list" and has been for quite some time now :p

    • The most consequential argument in technology right now is not about which model is smartest or which chip is fastest. It is about whether the entire enterprise is a generational revolution or the largest financial bubble ever inflated — and the unsettling answer, increasingly, is that it may be both at once.,,,, https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318138/20260610/ai-revolution-ai-bubble-trillion-dollar-question-splitting-wall-street-silicon-valley.htm This is a very good read.  For what it is worth, I agree with the answer to the question.

    • LibreWolf 151.0.4-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path.

RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API.

    • Stopped using Windows as my main workflow. Migrated completed to Linux. Been happier than a clam without a single issue nor windows annoyance. Leaving Windows has shown me the light at the end of the tunnel, or rather I went through the tunnel and I'm already at the light.
    • AirPods Pro 3 are now available for only $179 by Taras Buria Apple's third-gen AirPods Pro 3 introduced a few important upgrades over the previous generation while retaining the old $249 price. Still, that is quite a lot of money for a pair of earbuds, but the good news is that right now, you can save quite a lot of money on them, thanks to a new all-time low price. AirPods Pro 3 retain their classic look and form factor, with changes focused on the inside. These earbuds now come with five sets of foam-silicone tips, which sit much more securely in your ear, making the earbuds a perfect choice for physical activities and workouts. Additionally, new tips provide better passive noise cancellation. Speaking of noise cancellation, ANC is now much better at blocking outside noise, with Apple claiming the AirPods Pro mute up to two times more sound than the AirPods Pro 2. The AirPods Pro 3 also have heart rate sensors for activity tracking during workouts. They also support Live Translation and Hearing Aid mode. As for battery life, you get up to 8 hours on a single charge, with the case adding 20 more. The case supports wireless (Qi or Apple Watch charger) and wired charging over USB Type-C (cable not included).

    • Everything I have read is that the BBC is still Pro Doctor Who but wants a solid plan before they let anyone else try to do it. Which is fair.
