[Official] Anime/Manga Thread

I think I'm going to ask you all to commit some form of metaphorical seppuku for spoiling FMA:B moments.

Or you should just start watching instead of waiting for it to finish ;) :p

:shiftyninja: Not my policy. Just imagine watching Ghost in the Shell episode by episode. I would probably go mad. My watching pattern leans towards the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. If I was especially impressed by an anime series like GiTS, Rurouni Kenshin and GTO, then I would rewatch it.

^I watched 2 episodes of GiTS a day. To keep it fun and interesting to watch. Why can't you watch anime series episode by episode? Watching many episodes in one run would make it boring and feel like you HAVE to watch it, instead of watching it for fun.

I meant watching an anime series that has not ended yet. Watching an episode a week does not make it fun for me. I can't imagine waiting a week for each episode of Eureka Seven, Rurouni Kenshin, Black Lagoon or any other anime series. Having all the episodes available and choosing the pace of how much you watch per day is the best way. It's hard to watch more than a few episodes of GiTS a day since there are so many references and details that would be missed if one looked away for a few seconds.

Guess it's time for dattebayo to move on ....

Crunchyroll's simulcast will be available to Premium Subscription members in high definition one hour after each episode's first airing on Japan's TV Tokyo station, and for free in standard definition one week later. The simulcast will be available in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. The streamed episodes will use English subtitles from Viz Media.

Lol DB will continue to do it they'll just have to kick it up a few gears that's all.

Umm, no.

If and when Crunchyroll obtains a streaming license for Bleach, DB will drop it. We've considered all the options, and there will be no point in continuing to work on it in its current form.

See, that's what we're going through with FMA:B. Not being able to wait, yet we still wait :p By getting 1 episode each week you can still decide the pace of watching. I just can't explain the fun in waiting for a new episode after a huge cliffhanger.

This is a sad day indeed. DB will now just fade away unless they somehow get to work with CrunchyRoll on this project. Oh Well, Hopefully Eclipse or some other group will pick up Bleach and release it in the nice HD format for us all :)

New Naruto Anime is out. About to watch, can't wait, Naruto Vs Pain :) SAGE MODE! Oh ya, speaking of, anyone read the manga of naruto? SPOILER ALERT, WONT LET ME COVER UP, SO I CROSSED IT OUT, DONT READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW!! LOL abcdefg We finally get to see him throw his rasengen :)hijklmnop

DB's always been a*****s anyway, but they were really good at doing subs and provided really good material when there were none availble. But I think it's there time to go, anyway I think naruto anime was really tone down from the manga version. Manga felt like it was an epic battle between naruto and pain, but somehow it just doesn't feel the same but it's good none the less.

Also shakey spoiler tags use'em when you need'em :laugh: , well it's not that big of a secret anyway :laugh:.

I tried, but after you already post, it doesn't give you the option to add spoiler tags lol.

Just finished the episode, was too short it seemed. They focus more on the village destruction than the fight. This is just a big teaser. Right as the fight gets good, credits. I think this fight just as epic as the manga, but we have only scratched the surface of it so far. But damn, so disappointed that this weeks episode seemed so short in the action area lol.

103 chapters later, my skepticism for the FMA manga/anime series is very high. I cannot imagine how the mangaka will be able to complete the epic and satisfy all loose ends unless there are sequels planned. There are too many missing characters and way too much focus on boring fights that make no sense.

Who on earth decided to put General Armstrong as the protagonist for 2 volumes?! Envy chooses suicide? That's one of the lamest cop outs for such a strong antagonist? What happened to the mature story telling? Why is the mangaka choosing lame Bleach/Naruto type fights to advance the plot instead of the amazing fluency the the previous arcs had? Why on earth is Ed's and Al's father Jesus?! Give me a break! A slave meeting some mystical, evil god like presence seeking salvation by having the power of 500,000 souls injected into him?! BS!

A surprise conclusion will be welcome.

The manga went from a 10/10 to a 9/10 to a low 8/10 because of the last arc. I am quite disappointed by the mangaka's choice to make FMA seem like some Dragon Ball knock off.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood director Yasuhiro Irie has confirmed on his Twitter account on Thursday that original manga creator Hiromu Arakawa has planned out the final manga installment, and that his staff is writing and storyboarding the material for the anime based on that ending. He added that he was shocked by the enormity of the final chapter and noted that there are only two months left.

There are other groups (a person anyways) subbing Bleach. I would post links but I don't know if that's okay or not. He's not as quick as DB, because as I said I think it's only one person doing it, but I think the quality is up to par. PM me if you're interested in checking it out.

And wow it's been a long time since I posted in this thread.

crunchyroll is stealing bleach?! wtf...

the only anime they have that I actually watch is bleach, and I only watch that for a time killing, turn off your brain, anime.

If they offered better anime titles I would consider subscribing, but im not going to pay $5 a month to just watch bleach on time.

IIRC cruchyroll started out by stealing fansubs.

Do you still enjoy watching anime? It seems that when weight out, there's more negative then positive points coming from you about anime.

Now I don't mean this to call you out on anything. I'm just merely interested for the answer to this question :)

    • 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
