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)

I picked "Nekogami Yaoyorozu" for the lulz and "Usagi Drop" for srs slice-of-life.

Mine? Lupin III (IIRC it was from the "Green vs Red" special).

Wow nearly 900 posts from this thread just noticed makes me wonder what Masked forever is doing now but for me at least this is getting a bit stale so going to take a leaf out of a friend's book and move on...

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.

I heard that show was getting really popular, I have it on my HDD but I'm waiting until one season is done at least. Seems a bit like D.Gray-man to me..

Hi, I'm not much of an anime fan, only anime from 90's that I knew of (until recently) are Sailor Moon an Pokemon (if I recall correctly, both of those I watched more than eagerly), but recently I've become a believer! Can I hear a hallelujah? ;)

My first contact with "modern" anime took place few months ago, can you guess what was it? Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt! My reaction after watching first ep: "WTF?!? AWESOME! MOAR!" Since then I've watched H.O.T.D, Bakemonogatari, Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai, and finally my latest obsession Railgun and Index (currently watching S2 of index). Currently waiting in line are Beelzebub and Kara no Kyoukai.

So after that short story of my life let me get straight to the point:

I'm looking for some reliable and frequently updated source of anime news and reviews.

Another believer!

If you want updated news I always check Anime News Network. They have a top 50 list (goes up to 500 I think) so you can get an accurate account of what people think are good shows.

If you like shounen anime some good shows are:

Hunter X Hunter

One Piece

Bleach

Naruto

D.Gray-Man

Rurouni Kenshin

Code Geass

There's lots more but those are some of the best imo, anyways welcome to the club! :p

[MrPilipo]

Thanks for the link, looks like a really good news source.

As for you recommendations, I've seen few episodes on Naruto, it wasn't bad, but I can't say I enjoyed it much. Will for sure check out the rest.

For me it's not about type of anime but about the world/story presented in it.

For now it seems like I mostly enjoy stories that involve mix of science and supernatural (a bit of magic added to that wont hurt) that take place in worlds "so similar, yet so different" to ours + some comedy, which is always warmly welcomed by me.

For now I have to go through "withdrawal syndrome" after watching every episode of Railgun and Index (both of those are currently my No. 1).

BTW, someone knows when shows picked up for 2011/12 will get announced?

I'm hoping for more PSG and (of course) Index or Railgun

[Matrix XII]

Based on what you described I think you'd like Bleach or D.Gray-man but everyone's different :p

[MrPilipo]

That's one of the things that brought me into anime in the first place: theres something for everyone in it.

Taking Bets on Ichigo being the Soul King somehow.

Taking Bets on Ichigo being the Soul King somehow.

There has been tons of rumors and discussion about the secret family of the soul society and who Ichigo's family belongs to.

Don't know where or if this filler arc is going to address it, but this arc is pretty good at the moment, in both Anime and Manga, though both are different stories.

I'm more excited from Naruto though. This epic ninja war is just insane and I want to see it animated out already.

Hahahah you're probably right :rofl:

[rustix]

Finally the jutsu that was implanted into Naruto by Itachi was uncovered. Too bad it was such a short appearance though. Next week's chapter ought to be interesting

[Ci7]

Hahahah you're probably right :rofl:

as said by inaba ;)

[Azusa]

Ok 900th and last post in this thread just to say REDLINE is here!!!

[LittleNeutrino Veteran]

Try Yu Yu Hakusho and give it at least 5-10 episodes. It's a shounen anime done right. Death Note and the newly released Blue Exorcist (ao no exorcist) are also worth a watch. However death note may make you feel like an idiot when compared to Light or L :p

[Scirwode]

Damn, BLEACH manga is heating up, makes me really excited to see what's going to happen in the next few chapters :D !

[Lingwo]

Well i think the arc is ending as this arc was only meant to be short. Hopefully still got a few decent battles though.

I think something is going on in Soul Society and they need Ichigo, that is why they've all put their reiatsu into that sword

[Matrix XII]

I may have to watch this Bleach arc now that it's over, I hate waiting on episodes to begin with let alone fillers.. now I can watch them quickly :p

[Berserk87]

if the bleach arc is done, does that mean the next episodes will be back to the main story line?

I recently started watching cromartie high and one piece.

Not to sure about one piece since im getting into way late, but ill give it a chance.
