@Neo003: Thanks for posting the updated version of the Summer chart. I see a few series have been added to it since I last saw it. 2 interesting once as well among added series, like "Shi Ki" and "Black Lagoon: Roberta's Blood Trail". I must say that "Ookamisan to Shichinin no Nakamatachi" also sounds pretty interesting (Y)

I'll be adding those 2 series to this "Plan to watch" list: Amagami SS, Highschool of the Dead, Osaka Hamlet and Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin. I'm looking forwards to "Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin" the most to be honest. It's 1 of the series among others that have been made for the "Anime no Chikara" project by Aniplex. The plot really appeals to me plus the previous series from that project were pretty great so far as well :D

@Maksed Forever: The mangaka didn't take the save way; the mangaka wrote what he wanted to write. And I'm now actually done talking about this.

@RadishTM: I agree! It was also nice to see him smile after seeing his flashbacks. He was finally content with his past.

I got Evangelion 1.11 on Blu-Ray the other day. Pretty good so far. Seems to take the show in a more mainstream direction and i think i could actually recommend it to non anime viewers.

I've also acquired 2.22 and I've got the original show well the platinum editon tin on DVD and love the series and 2.22 seems to be quite different from the original show... it has been awhile since i've watched it but this seems to have a lot of stuff not from the anime.

You're right about it taking a more mainstream direction, Anno's intention with these remakes was to make this appeal to people who've never watched the original series before.

And from 2.0/2.22 onwards he would begin changes with new characters and the like, instead of following the original format. The fourth (and final) film will have a completely different ending compared to the original series as well.

Still really can't be bothered to finish off these filler episodes of Rurouni Kenshin.

Skip them and read volumes 18 onwards of the manga. The Revenge arc is one of the most important. The last OVA is nothing more than a Clannad offshoot of melodrama that shouldn't exist.

I'm rewatching FLCL and Trigun :)

I found FLCL a bit..... weird i guess. How's Trigun? Been considering watching it.

Lousy? More like one of the most mind destroying abstractions that leaves your jaw on the floor by how it managed to tear apart the silly "golden era of 80s mecha" established prior to NGE. XD

Check out RahXephon. It's my favorite anime series of all time. Imagine NGE but with a better execution, cast and story. It's one of the only anime series that I forget that breaks apart from the typical "boy tackles the world and becomes the world's best mecha pilot" stereotype. The male lead is not always the center of the story, which is one of the reasons I love the show.

Ahh I saw RahXephon on the recommendations page for NGE in MAL. Was wondering whether it followed a similar pattern to NGE but seeing you recommend it (after dissing NGE :p ) I'll add that to the Plan To Watch list.

Was thinking of watching Honey and Clover next. Any comments?

Btw any suggestion from the summer anime out (thanks for the updated chart Neo003; i only saw the v1 of it a few weeks back)? I've already got Sekirei ~Pure Engagement~ (I just enjoyed the first season :whistle:) but any other recommendations?

Oh and i'm wondering whether to pick up Bleach again? I'm hearing a lot of hype about seeing some new Bankais (like Kyouraku's)

EDIT: Also I'm looking forward to the above answers about anime-access too :cool:

How much is it, and what do they have?

You can check out what they have on their website in terms of series but I like it because it's direct download. I purchased 6 months for $38 and you get 15.6gb of included bandwidth then I bought an additional 20gb for $15 and that's just a one time payment it stays attached every month. The quality is good and they also have every new bleach, one piece, and naruto episodes for direct download right away which is nice. I'm pretty impressed so far I really don't mind paying for something like this as long as it's good quality.

You're telling me that you paid for some site that catalogs all the FREE fansubs and charges for bandwith like Megaupload and Rapidshare? You know that torrents exist, right? High quality torrents that are only limited by your internet service speed because they're so well seeded that you can torrent at your connection's max download speed...

You just got ripped off.

You can also download all the anime torrents from one place in 1080p (except licensed stuff which you can find through other means). It's not about the money. You're supporting a site that's profiting from the hard work of fansub groups who have not consented to this service and are providing high quality translations for free because the anime companies don't cater to the Western side that well.

Lol you guys are funny

Maybe I shouldn't have posted that :rofl: getting your panties in a knot

Far from it :laugh: You should have just put that money into the series in question when it gets licensed in your country, each to their own though ;)

Might watch a Lupin III special tonight, need something standalone to watch :D

    • Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off the official live stream of the WWDC 2026 annual developer event. The company began its latest wave of announcements with changes to the controversial Liquid Glass design language, which debuted last year across Apple's entire software ecosystem. A lot of people didn't like Liquid Glass when it first arrived on iPhone and other devices last year. The devices were plagued with transparency issues and whatnot. While Apple improved things over the year, it has now added a new Liquid Glass slider that lets you switch the transparency from clear to opaque. The sidebars now expand to the edge of the window. When you scroll the UI sideways, the refraction continues beneath the sidebar rather than being cut off at the boundary. Moreover, Apple has changed the way Liquid Glass is rendered across the system. There is a separation between different layers, which makes buttons in the toolbar stand out from the background. Apple said it "deeply appreciates" the feedback it received from users and has made adjustments to Liquid Glass.
    • Helium Browser 0.13.1.1

      By cork1958 · Posted

      FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • U.S. delegation throws away all burner phones and gifts from China before takeoff

      By AsherGZ · Posted

      See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.
    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By QuantumBigfoot · Posted

      He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
