[Official] Anime/Manga Thread


Recommended Posts

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.

go with ToHeart first.

Tried Honey and Clover?

It's funny how this thread is still mainly about Bleach :/

^Yep, that's pretty much true. And some jumped in whenever we did. Oh well, as long as the others enjoy this thread.

I love that y'all post about other animes/manga. It has given me a lot of good ones to watch/read which I had not known before, or had a different opinion about, but still gave a shot because of one of y'alls reviews.

Sadly, my home computer monitor broke, so I am without anime this week..... May just hook everything up to my big screen tv, but such a hassle, and I wont have sound.... anyone have a crunchy pass or something I could use on my ps3 until I get a new monitor? :p

I kinda lost the feeling of wanting to post here about random anime that I watch, but not spoken about by others in this thread. Mainly due to the regulars being absent which won't change as far as I know. Plus I don't really review anymore for the time being as I'm too busy with my internship. I even had to close my blog due to not having the time to update it.

Same with my reason for only watching or keeping up with a few anime/manga at the moment. Life just taking up so much, it is hard to keep up with everything.

I started the Highschool of the Dead, made it to ep 6, and just stopped. I liked it, but just couldn't keep up with it. Right now, my main are Bleach, Naruto, and Gantz.

Never been into the whole Gundam scene unfortunately. And I can't stand a anime like Prince of Tennis or something that pits them in real life situations. I want more fantasy in mine :p

On a side note... I finally watched the live action Speed Racer movie that came out some years ago..... I loved it. It looked great, the acting was pretty good, and the feel of everything just felt right. Even with how computerized it looked, they did everything so well, that you accepted what you saw, and never thought, naaaaaaa not believable. I'm sort of sad I hadn't noticed this movie earlier. Was very entertaining.

^He did indeed :p I knew you belonged in that list though :rofl:

@shakey: I'm only watching 1 episode during the weekdays so that's 1 episode a day and during the weekends I try to catch up with some new shows. Like for instance: Fractale

The shows that I watch during weekdays are older series that I had piling up on my external drive :p

Yeah for sure, I've seen lots of good anime shows due to good recommendations in this thread :)

Can't wait for Bleach tonight! I hope it's not filler lol

I've been watching Fairy Tail, I'm on about ep 25, it's not really meant as a serious show I don't think haha

It gets better. I read the manga too and the current arc in the manga is pretty interesting. The next arc in the anime is quite intriguing imo

Interesting Read http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/02/why-anime-fans-pirate-the-shows-they-love.ars

I have to agree. The time it takes for some episodes to come across is just insane. Then they try and sell a series, but they break it down into episodes, where you are paying roughly 25$ bucks for 3 to 4 episodes, and a whole series of a show with over 100 episodes will cost you dearly. And when the professionals do it, they butcher it all to hell. There really is no going back from a great fansub once you have experienced it. Why don't they hire these guys? lol

That's if you can buy them at all. Trying to find certain anime from UK retailers is near impossible! Also, I just re-watched Death Note and checked out the English audio once or twice....it was painful to hear!

exactly. Some you can't find. The ones you can will be way too expensive or just horribly done. Also, if it is aired for free, streamed for free, what problem do they have with people watching it for free?

    • 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
