[Official] Anime/Manga Thread


Recommended Posts

OOOOO the new anime is out???? going to download this right now and watch it during my lunch :)

Yep it is and you should definitely watch it! Oh and check your PM too ;)

I wonder if they'll do a double episode for the Naruto Vs Pain fight?

As the manga readers will know that the fight is pretty epic, almost rivals the Naruto Vs Sasuke battle in the original Naruto.

Sadly they won't. According to AnimeCalendar they don't have any double episodes lined up for the coming month :cry: It sure would've been awesome if they had though :yes:

OMFG! That episode of Naruto had to be one of the best rushes I've felt since the gara vs rock lee fight. Just amazing! I'm going to be in a total craze until i see the next one. Loved Naruto's entrance and the buildup to the Final Push.

Thanks for that link rustix. They seem to release theirs the same time as Horriblesubs as well, but always good to have other options when one is running late. Just like with Onemanga and BleachExile.

That's too sad. They wasted all their doubles for before the Pain fight lol. This fight really should be a double at least. Hell, this could be a movie and rule. Might just try holding off for a month and watching the whole fight back to back, but I doubt I'll have the will power to abstain from it that long lol.

I know I certain won't be able stay for that long.. I'm already too eager to watch the next episode :pinch:

No kidding. This was an epic part of the manga, and seeing it already animated this much lets me know it will be just as epic in animation. Sage Naruto looks so awesome, I wish he would stick with that outfit for the rest of the series. Show some mad respect for Jeriah.

Every episode of bleach :

:x

she made him insane xD

will... save will... save will... save will... save will... save

will... save will... save ...

what?! Dragon Ball would drag fight scenes on for 3 episodes until....o wait....its the same.

Rukia never should have gotten her powers back...worst shinigami ever.... "My plan was to draw you away from me the whole time blabablblablablblablabla.... a frozen tree bears no fruit" ..... worst.

Freeza fight is whole arch :p ~20+

Well it is a shounen animé so it's meant to generally appeal to 10 to 18 year olds not 20+.

I have to agree.

Generally there is only a few shows that both appeal to the teenager as well as the adult. Recently re-watched Ergo Proxy, it was Kingdom of Heaven Tier, not God Tier, and not Tier of the Tao.

Re-watched 1.11 today, (3rd or 4th time I think)

The bad,

1. For some reason Shinji's music player has not been updated

2. Product Advertisement, for a few scenes.

3. I think the bathing sounds (Misato) were a bit loud.

4. Lines sometimes are bit thick for 1080p. It wouldn't stand out as much if it was consistent.

The good,

1. It truly was made for High Definition. It looks amazing in 1080p. The detail level is unbelievable.

2. Everything else?

Now, unto 2.22...

Unless I feel overpowered by how much I hate/like NGE after a rewatch, I'm holding out on the entire Rebuild of Evangelion series until 4.0 comes out on Blu Ray, which would be around late 2011 or early 2012.

I have to agree.

Well, I still can appreciate One Piece ... Nevermind, I just realized that the only thing that made appreciate One Piece was that it was very close to Fullmetal Alchemist in terms of restricting the child heroes to their roles and ensure that the 20+ year old characters are the ones in charge. When I think about it, almost all of the anime series I rated a 10+ have an older figure being more powerful than the child hero. XD

I am guessing that would be 8 hours of ROE. Then the special features.

Hopefully there will be a 1080p remaster of the directors cut of the original, death^2 true, and EOE before 2012 - you know, to fill the time.

Anyway I watched ROE 2.22 and have to say this is where it diverges, first impressions follow,

1. As expected, ROE pushes animation to its maximum, insane detail, lots of background movement, well done scenery.

2. Again product placement.

3. It has new and old elements intertwined. There is totally old, old with new, and totally new.

4. Old elements are better, it feels because of no budget constrains there is a lot more visual explanation to some things you may recall from the old series. Although no S^2 engine I think.

5. The new character is not that well introduced as others, most likely this will change with 3.0 and 4.0

6. As I see it ROE is the original vision that is unbounded by technical or budged concerns.

Just watched "Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance" and it was epic! The ending made me wish I was able to watch "Evangelion: 3.0 Quickening" right after it. They certainly found a way to top the series off with the "Rebuild of Evangelion" (Y) :D

I'm gonna write a review about it later today which I'll be posting on my blog tomorrow :)

:cry:

Singer Eiko Shimamiya Reveals She Has Thyroid Cancer

Eiko Shimamiya, the main vocalist of the I've Sound group, revealed on her Twitter account on Tuesday that she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer on May 10. As a result, her official website announced that her "Eiko Shimamiya 2010 Live 'Perfect World'" concert, which was slated for June 20, was cancelled.

Shimamiya performed the theme songs for the first When They Cry - Higurashi television series and several other projects based on Ryukishi07/07th Expansion's popular When They Cry - Higurashi (Higurashi no Naku Koro ni) multimedia franchise, including the later anime projects and the live-action film version. She also can be heard on the soundtracks of Rensa Byoutou, Shakugan no Shana, and Slave Market.

OMFG! That episode of Naruto had to be one of the best rushes I've felt since the gara vs rock lee fight. Just amazing! I'm going to be in a total craze until i see the next one. Loved Naruto's entrance and the buildup to the Final Push.

Yeah man same for me! When Naruto was standing there in the gear like Jiraiya's I got goosebumps hehe

I also finished Eureka Seven and I liked it a lot, I had some trouble understanding how all the pieces fit in, but I'm reading about it a little bit and it's making more sense, but I thought it was a really well done show with good character development. 8.0/10

This weekend I rewatched Samurai X - Trust and Betrayal. Had a friend that never saw anything Kenshin related, so after showing him some AMV's, he was interested in how he got his X scar. Such a great story and animation. Though, I couldn't help but laugh every time they did a real world image overlaid on a cartoon drawing, like it was some new high tech way of animation.

New FMA:B was just amazing as always. Mustang lost his vision finally, but I loved how they showed the relation of what was lost to what was in their hearts and all.

New Bleach should be out today, haven't checked yet, but it is the day. Should be pretty slow on action and all for a couple of episodes, until they beat Yammi and move to the Battle Royal.

I don't see how Bleach could get much better than the last couple episodes. I was stoked! :D

Does Ichigo ever go into that hollow form again? I sure hope so loll

I hope it's not the same thing as Naruto not wanting to go all out with the Kyuubi..

^ Damn, gonna watch it now :( And last night's Bleach episode was pretty poor IMO :/

Studio 4°C are animating a new version of ThunderCats :woot: They have definitely got the skill to make this total win (Y)

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
