[Official] Anime/Manga Thread


Recommended Posts

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?

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.

<3

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!?

lil bit predictable the last two eps :/

so far so good , not much to add about current 'filler' arch

that why i am taking the backseat ;)

*nigh quite /again*

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:

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

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.

MAL

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.

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.

    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
    • Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates 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, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
