[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

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.
    • People in the '50s and '60s had the same attitude, and we're still here over a half century later.
    • So after some fiddling I was able to get it to run at a pretty stable 30FPS. I'm slightly surprised about how much fiddling I had to do to get there though given what I thought was reasonable hardware: Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 7700S I think I could do it better if I use Linux rather than Windows, Windows RAM usage is stupid without stripping the system down. But once I got it working in a reasonable state, it was so awesome! I felt like a new Bond! If anyone has any advice to get things going a bit smoother FPS-wise, I'd appreciate it.
