[Official] Anime/Manga Thread


Recommended Posts

My feelings towards One Piece have been swinging the whole time.

On episode 130 now, but i was getting bored on the alabasta arc.

I wasnt that excited about it for some reason, and it seemed really dragged out.

But now that its over one piece is back to being hilarious.

Ranma 1/2 Gets Live-Action Special with Yui Aragaki

A live-action television adaptation of Rumiko Takahashi's Ranma ½ martial arts comedy manga will air this December as a two-hour special on Japan's NTV network. Yui Aragaki (Digimon: Data Squad, Koizora) will play Akane Tend?, and Kento Kaku (Paradise Kiss, Gokusen) and Natsuna (Gantz) will play the dual male/female sides of the title character Ranma Saotome.

Viz published the manga in North America, and it also released the television anime series adaptation and the various anime spinoffs.

^ One Piece just keeps better. It tends to drag a bit but the ending of an arc is always more than satisfying smile.gif

Agreed! After watching basically every episode of Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece, I'd have to say One Piece is my fav.

It used to be Bleach but I don't really like where they've gone with it lately.

I'm on episode 171 of One Piece now.

Skyopia arc.

Niice!! Sounds like you're watching them pretty quickly.

I remember when I started One Piece I was so happy there was like 450 episodes to watch. How quickly that dwindled down to zero lol

I usually watch 4 a day.

I can't believe how much these arcs get dragged out... I thought it was going to end 10 episodes ago.

every episode past it i was thinking "one more to go".

It's odd how the Gundam in Mobile Suit Gundam AGE is called Saviour Gundam. Anyone who watched Gundam SEED Destiny will remember that Athrun was gifted a Gundam named ZGMF-X23S Saviour by Durandal. So to me it's somewhat odd how they've named this Gundam the same as it hasn't happened before with Gundams.

Has anyone seen the new reboot of Hunter x Hunter? I never saw the original anime, but I was a huge fan of the manga way back. They say it's too rushed compared to the original, but to me it's everything I could have ever wanted in an anime for that legendary series. Wagnaria!! this season I also found exceptionally funny so far. Has a style of awkward humour that I just love.

I just started Tiger & Bunny from last season. It sounds sort of cheesy to be honest, but I am a huge fan at only episode 3!

Excuse me now. I'll go back to ignoring this thread.

Code Geass is the closest to a mech anime I've watched.

Whats a good mech anime?

Eureka Seven along with Neon Genesis Evangelion both are a must watch if you want to dive into mecha anime. Rahxephon is pretty great too.

I'd also say Gundam but there are many series to choose from when it comes to it. IF you want to watch Gundam and aren't a fan of classic anime, you could start with "Gundam 00" or even "Gundam Unicorn". The latter of the 2 is still being aired with 1 episode at the start and end of the year. If you do like classic anime and want to dive into Gundam, than you should watch "Gundam 08th MS Team", "Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory" and "Gundam Wing".

watched em both.

Eureka Seven was really good, NGE I watched when I was first getting into anime and I didnt like it, probably just looking for something else at the time.

Macross nothing better.

which one? there are a few, and i've heard that most of them suck. :p

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
