[Official] Anime/Manga Thread

Got all nostalgic yesterday with the new Bleach ED from episode 330, was surreal seeing scenes from the last decade. Can't believe it's been that long already; I remember I started watching the series around episode 20 :)

And currently watching "30-sai no Hoken Taiiku". A hilarious (those facial expressions are comedy gold), adult plot surprisingly without much fanservice :laugh: (Y)

Same here, especially with Naruto...

Well, I haven't been up to much anime/manga reading except for the same ole same old.

Bleach anime arch is good. Still a lot of mystery around what is happening, but the fights haven't become stale or neither has the plot. Liking this filler a whole lot actually.

The manga of Bleach is just getting crazy, and I'm unsure how this is supposed to be playing out. A lot has been left unanswered, and even more oddness than before is happening. Right now, I think I'm staying with it, if only to see where it is going..... sigh

Naruto... this is just getting better and better, for both anime and manga. Anime is sticking to the story, and is at the part where all out war is about to break loose. There have been some epic fights already animated out that have made me very pleased, and many more to come. The manga of Naruto is just epic as could be, loving this war.

Gantz... hrrmm... what to say.... I'm dumb struck with where they are at right now. The alien force that had captured them declared peace... but then war again... then some other aliens come in and **** up gantz.... and the humans are sent to some other alien ship or planet.... hopefully it all comes together in the next few chapters.

The current filler arc in Bleach is probably the best filler I've watched so far, certainly can't go wrong with Kenpachi vs. Reigai Kenpachi <3 Maybe Kujo will become Ichigo's sidekick for the remaining filler episodes to defeat Inaba, while Rukia takes a backseat with the Gotei 13?

Griffith looks too feminine IMO.

I need some new anime to watch. I'm finding going through my old collection and re-watching some.

I want something new though...

I like a bit of action and drama. Saikano is one my favourite animes. While not so much action. The story was brilliant.

I've watched/watching most of the popular ones (Naruto, Bleach, GITS/SAC, Eva, Death Note, etc)

I noticed someone mentioned Tsubasa further up. Is that show still going has it finished? I stopped watching after Season 1 and it seemed to take ages to come back on, so i never continued. If the series has finished, i might grab that.

RADISH, ANSWERS NOW! :p I must know, is this a new Beserk... One that is to follow the manga? What have my eyes just witnessed? Have you just made me the happiest girl in the world? :p ANSWERS, I DEMAND ANSWERS! DO YOU WANNA **** BESERKER!?

Moribito

I used to love Bleach, but then all this Aizen is invincible thing came on and I got irritated. But I should give it a second chance. Currently I'm more into Blue Exorcist.

Haha, it's one of three films to retell the "Golden Age" arc (and possibly more later) from the manga.

i shall look up this "golden age" arc... I haven't kept up with Beserk in so long, but it is by far, one of my favorites. Even the anime, which strayed so far away from the manga, is a masterpiece.

Ah, thats right, golden age is just what they refer to as the beginning.... I wonder though how this will exactly pan out. Will they stick with the manga, or is it just going to be a remake of the anime... and will it go further past where the last anime left off? Still very excited for this.

It will stick to the manga, separate from the original TV anime. Essentially, the plan is to adapt the entire manga into film; boggles the mind as to how long that will take (a few decades going by length of the manga? :|) but I'm certainly not gonna argue with more Berserk :D

Damn man, you have made my day with that statement.... More Berserk.... *goes into coma of happiness* :drool:

The CGI bothered me if anything, hope they polish that up.

Hey guys. I was wondering if any of you could help me out here.

I recently went to the Ghibli museum and got this ticket. I was wondering where it's from?! I can't seem to recognise it at all :(

(Apologies if it's the wrong way round!)

It's from "the cat returns" it's pretty new but it's a sort of spin off of "whisper of the heart".

Just watched the latest ep of Detective Conan and damn it's nice seeing a show that can run for 623 episodes and put a little plot in what could be called filler.

Also Lupin III S2 where did the budget go?

The worst quality drop I have ever seen was Gunslinger Girl S1 -> S2

[Berserk87]

berserk movies = epic, can't wait for that.

griffith does look very feminine, but everything else looks good.

on a side note, I need a new series to pick up...

I havn't been able to find anything thats held my interest recently other than re-watching deathnote with my room mates.

Link to MAL if anyone has any good suggestions.

I'll probably be watching tokyo godfathers tonight, but i still need a series to pick up.

just watched "Blood: The Last Vampire".

I really liked the animation and sound effects, the story was pretty good, but it was a short movie, so not much in terms of plot i guess.

There is other Blood related media.

For example, Blood+ was an ok ONE TIME watch.

Hey guys any recommendations from this season's batch of anime? I'm watching Gintama and Nurarihyon 2 for now (along with a few from the spring batch)

[RadishTM Veteran]

Watched Ghibli's "Arrietty" earlier this evening with family. Loved the characters, gorgeous animation and the lovely soundtrack but felt the fantasy plot needed just a bit more depth to make it into a complete masterpiece; still 9/10 tho.

Going through another Lupin III special tonight; "The Pursuit of Harimao's Treasure". Fun so far with James Bond and Nazi's making an appearance against Lupin III (oh and Goemon-chan as a "part-timer" :laugh:) (Y)

I really enjoyed the live action movie of Goemon. I thought they did a good job with everything.
