[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

    • Thanks, Sony and Nintendo, you effectively killed platform-agnostic gaming. Long gone are the days when you could wish to play a specific game on whatever platform you were. Now, you have to buy the hardware just to play that single game. What, you're only interested in THAT game and nothing more? Bad luck, suck it and buy our console.

    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
