Just finished FMA:B, sweet ending that wrapped everything up nicely and seeing how all the remaining characters progressed in the future was a emotional yet nice touch (Y)

10/10 from start to finish and in my all-time top five anime without a doubt :happy:

I've never watched it. I was going to start the first series just before Brotherhood began to air but decided not to as I read Brotherhood was more faithful to the original manga. Maybe I'll watch the first series somewhere down the line for comparison.

I'd like to know aswell! :yes:

Do you know if there is any new news regarding the new season? I haven't heard anything in a while :(

The new season about Roberta has started to air in Japan and subs are out :)

You've also got a PM about the omake ;)

Is it a waste of time? Or is it something that actually warrants a watch? It has mediocre reviews and everyone has said something about the ending.

I thought it was a good concept, somewhat unique as well.

As long as you can pay attention, you will get the ending.

It is worth seeing.

Can't say more, haven't seen it in years.

Finished Baccano. Absolutely loved it. i couldn't spot a character I didn't like in a way (except Szilard :p) I think it was episode 12 which was where everything was brought together and was literally action packed. The ending to the core 13 episodes was brilliant with Miria and Isaac. Literally ROFL'd.

Not sure what to watch now. Might watch one of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagaan or Mushishi or Planetes.

Holy crapness! :cry:

Rurouni Kenshin Live Action Movie ?in Production"

Japanese actor Takeru Satoh, known best for a series of roles in drama, has been identified as the most likely actor to play the role of Himura Kenshin in a rumoured movie adaptation of hit Shonen Jump bakumatsu era samurai manga Rurouni Kenshin.

One unnamed source connected with the film reports that the Rurouni Kenshin film is going ahead, and that Satoh has the role.

Satoh has ?just the right look, and there aren?t many actors with the right image for Kenshin? he says. Satoh himself has already trained in cinematic swordplay for an earlier samurai role.

Another source supposedly validates this:

?Back when it had just ended serialisation there was talk of a movie adaptation, but back then manga being adapted to film wasn?t something you really saw much, unlike now.

Add to this the fact that CG technology wasn?t very good? CG tech has come a long way since then. As a result, the movie was suddenly decided upon recently.?

Oh man, this could be just totally bad ass or just totally ruin the chances this will ever come back lol. I would love for this to come across in the fashion a lot of older samurai movies have done, and I sure hope they don't make it cheesy.

Read my previous reply to you? :p But not have been obvious but it was a reply to your post :)

You should definitely watch as it's by the same director plus it has those cameos. You're gonna laugh ones you notice them :D

I LOL'd at the end of episode 13 as well. Isaac and Miria all of a sudden noticing they haven't aged throughout the years :rofl: The both of them are funny as hell :p

    • Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for by Aditya Tiwari It's been three years since Google introduced its AI-powered note-taking and research app, NotebookLM. Just when Apple is about to kick off WWDC 2026, the search giant has announced a platter of new NotebookLM features that add agentic capabilities in chat and more advanced reasoning. For starters, NotebookLM now draws its fuel from Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity to improve accuracy and reliability. One of the things people have been asking for a long time is more transparency into the thinking steps. NotebookLM now shows expanded thinking steps in chat, providing better visibility into the thinking process. Google compared the upgraded NotebookLM with prior versions and found that it "achieved an average win rate of over 65% — a 15% point margin above parity — across our top five core evaluation dimensions," including accuracy & quality, multilingual support, large document analysis, document creation, and advanced research. It showed substantial improvements in analyzing large documents, achieving a 69.9% win rate. The system also delivered "exceptional performance" in advanced web research and source discovery with a 78.2% win rate. The AI research tool now generates outputs in more formats. You can give instructions to guide the outputs and download the generated files from the studio panel. Here are the newly supported formats: PNG and SVG for data visualizations and charts PDFs, docx, markdown, and text files for documents PNG, JPG, and GIF for images JSON and CSV for structured data XLSX for Microsoft Excel PPTX for Microsoft PowerPoint You can make edits after the outputs are generated. The feature is available globally; therefore, you can provide directions in one language and create outputs in another. Google said that it's also making it easier to get started with a project in NotebookLM. Instead of having a list of sources beforehand, you can even start with loose ideas, and NotebookLM can help build the repository of sources through the chat. For instance, you can find primary sources in other languages to get new perspectives or explore related works of an author. All of these new features are rolling out globally for those who can loosen up their pockets. They are available to users with Google AI Ultra and all Workspace business customers with AI Ultra access. Google has plans to expand them to more users in the future.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By lonegull · Posted

      "...will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update...". Three names that all refer to Windows Update. Does the author even understand what he is writing about?
