[Official] Anime/Manga Thread


Recommended Posts

Yes, this week for anime/manga has been a great treat for those of us.

The bleach anime was just as epic as ever, fleshing out what the manga failed to do. Just brilliant, and I can not wait for the finale!

Naruto anime is back on track, and even after such a long break, it was a great return and start to an insane chain of events.

Naruto manga was just epic, and next week will reveal some secrets I'm sure :)

Bleach manga just teased us for the whole damn chapter, but the last picture frame seemed interesting.

@Capricorn

Seems like there's gonna be more action in the third episode of Gundam UC :)

EDIT: Just watched the new episode of Bleach. It was awesome. One of my favourite scenes was when Ichigo literally shut Aizen up midspeech :pinch:

Indeed, and the plot is about to get bigger as well. Can't wait to see the rest of the story in anime form :D

glad he did it! Aizen kept bluffing/trush talking "i pwn anyone any day bla bla bla" ......... ishigo was like "shut the hell up!!!" :laugh:

Truly Epic. I also love how conceded Aizen is, so where he believes it is his power destroying the world around him. Then Ichigo is like, oh, you didn't notice? That was all me.

I still use CR, don't know about supporting anime industry (after what viz is doing here). I'll seeto the end of my sub if I want to continue or not.

BTW Bleach was excellant, not compared to the last one ofcource. Does anyone know if they'll continue after aisen arc.

I don't think they can. It will be interesting to see what filler they do though because Ichigo will have no powers. Perhaps an arc following another character or one set in soul society.

I say they can't because they are only a few chapters into the current arc.

The current arc that is taking place after the Aizen Saga is a short arc, that will set up the next main arc. Ichigo will most likely get his old powers back or some form of a new one, and then we will get some sort of villain from Ichigo's family past I believe. I think they will delve deeper into the past, and show us why Ichigo is who he is, besides from the hygouku(?) part lol

Right, i did hear the current arc will be short. Still I dunno how short.

so he gets his fullbring, hopefully this chapter and then what, a quick scuffle with someone and he'll get his powers back?

I hope that is true but i still see a filler happening in the anime. Maybe just a shorter one and not one in bounto(sp?) length or Naruto style and give some past stories for a few weeks.

Sorta....

I feel this short arc will give us a good glimpse as to why Ichigo's Dad was in hiding, along with the secret of their power. I believe that his Dad most likely used the Final Getsuga like Ichigo, and up until the Arancarrs showed up, he was without power. Of course, this is all my speculation, but it sort of makes sense. His dad does say how it has been a long time and how it feels good after so long.... so hard to say if he is just talking about fighting, or his powers in general... I really hope we don't see too much of this Full Bring stuff, but more of just a way to bring upon his powers and some history revealing.

After much googling, I have decided to swallow my shame and consult the almighty otakus of Neowin!

I just finished Toradora. Coupled with an album from Ryuichi Sakamoto I got my hands on around the same time, it was an extremely emotional experience. I'd love a series that comes close to being that good to follow it up with, idc about a good/bad ending.

If anyone could help me, I would much appreciate it.

If you haven't seen them yet, Clannad and then Clannad: After Story.

    • 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.
    • "...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?
    • and somehow windows is the only one with issue every patch tuesday is a mess, android macosx have all that and it never had issues locking people out of their own data.
    • It's the ol': I told my kids I was older than Google and they thought I was joking. For me I was born the same year as the internet
