[Official] Anime/Manga Thread

So I started reading the manga of Gantz too (about time i got to it). Must say its simply brilliant. Had they continued the anime along the storyline of the manga I'm pretty sure it would've been very popular. Just started reading a phase although to me

the death of Takeshi was quite a bummer

:alien:

Just wait till you get further. Gantz is a mind trip.

Some of the anime that I watch right now like Ore no Imouto, Sora no Otoshimono and some that I don't like Milky Holmes, Panty & Stocking, Yosuga are most likely to be shut down starting July 2011 Due to the new regulation Japan has passed.

Personally I haven?t seen anything that provocative but some people might feel that way since the theme is little disturbing for some. But if they do cancel it I would miss a good laugh that I use to get every now and then especially Sora no Otoshimono.

I read about it at Kira Fansub. It's interesting that they are banning adult (and so called illegal) themed mangas and anime whereas the novel and movies of similar themes/genres are excepted from it. From Sankaku Complex

it should be noted Tokyo's governor Ishihara, a key proponent of the ban, has written a number of novels featuring scenes of graphic rape

Hypocrite!

No, it?s going to hurt manga publishers. In japan more money comes from ecchi manga?s then naruto, bleach etc., so if printing those became illegal they'll lose more than half of their revenue. Then they'll have to jack up the price of regular manga?s to compensate, also it will hurt Japan?s overall economy (much like what republican and democrats doing in America right now).

Just to be clear, the problem is with manga only RIGHT NOW. This legislation will affect anime in long run.

Thanks for the clarification Neo :)

Even though I don't read manga, it would be stupid to think this wont affect anime as well.

So why is it that they want to impose these regulations?

I would be concern if there are real female getting hurt by this, but as far as I know they're not (you can correct me if I'm wrong here). Not to mention the fact that there are real female artists whose sole bread and butter comes from creating manga?s (Ex:Mizuki Kawashita, Katsura Hoshino, Shizuru Hayashiya and not to mention HIROMU ARAKAWA).

Also Yellow Tanabe for Kekkaishi too.

It's nothing like the so called thought crime acts we see in the UK and Australia no no it's more simple than that it's just a pressure group getting what they don't like banned.

What they're saying is that some manga?s are exploiting children (I can't name them since this is a public forum). My thinking is that since lot of Japanese male are becoming more and more otaku now a days and prefers pillows instead of actual girl that japan is losing its population.

More and more Japanese female prefers westerner and want more money before they get married and let?s face it 80% of Japanese man lives in a 1 room flat. So to cut down these otaku numbers Japanese government is going for the root of the problem Manga?s.

How would saying the names of works of fiction lean to a banning?

Also as my Friend says it will just lead to alot more online distribution.

    • 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
