[Official] Anime/Manga Thread

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

errrr to my knowledge there isn't a single bad Macross then again if you hang out in places with a high level of Gundam fans then i can understand how you may have "heard" that but really Macross is the only post 70's animé that's gotten close to the bar set by Uchuu senkan Yamato .

It was a friend of mine thats a casual anime watcher. he tends to like older dubbed stuff. :s

I've been pretty absent from this recently. Been holding off on catching up with bleach and naruto and gantz lately... but finally did it today.

Gantz is just getting crazy. I believe they are going to end it with a very shocking but not shocking - EVERYONE DIES! - type of ending...

Naruto is still just amazing with its current story and battle. A huge twist was just revealed in the latest manga. Really blew my mind, and I am very very eager to find where this is all heading.

Bleach was losing it for a bit, but now its finally speeding up. Getting to see some good fights showcasing how much stronger the captains and vice captains have become over the last 17 months. Really eager to see more of these fights unfold. Bleach Anime has finally ended with the filler arch, though it was really bad. But it has now started on the manga path, but it seems to be fleshing it out a whole lot more. I think we will be pleased with this. Also, seems like more blood in this new starting anime arc. Bleach first started off showing blood, but after a while, started doing mainly black blood or only wound blood. I hope they get back to the awesome showers we saw in the last one.. because I want a blood bath when Kenpachi cuts that big dude in half :p

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.

You could always try out the Rebuild of Evangelion. It's a remake in feature length film form without budget troubles and a depressed director.

Gantz is just getting crazy. I believe they are going to end it with a very shocking but not shocking - EVERYONE DIES! - type of ending...

I havnt read Gantz in many months now and im only 2 or 3 volumes behind... I've read that in a day.

Wow, it's been a long time since I visited this board. For some reason I haven't received any email notifications for this thread (again) since around mid-end September.

I'm really looking forward to the next chapter of Naruto. I hope they reveal a few more details regarding the twist last week in the next chapter. As for Naruto Shippuuden, I wish they'd finish with the fillers already! :angry:

One Piece has finally reached the post 2-year time jump in the anime and I'm looking forward to seeing the current manga being animated (although I know it's gonna be a while :rolleyes: )

I also started watching Fate/Zero. So far it looks interesting but I'm wondering whether I should watch the older ones first.... :/

Been a while since I popped into this thread ....

Updates .... I went to another anime all-nighter at the beginning of the month!

The films screened were - "Jin-Roh - The Wolf Brigade" (you can truly appreciate the hand-drawn animation on the big screen), "Tekken: Blood Vengeance" (the plot was complete fail but the the friggin' hilarious and camp English dub saved it :laugh:), the most enjoyable and vivid "Welcome to THE SPACE SHOW", the lulzy "TRIGUN: Badlands Rumble" and the kinda long "Eden of The East: Paradise Lost".

I've watched all the the films apart from "Tekken: Blood Vengeance" previously, so going to this was really for a friend who's never experienced an all-nighter and they enjoyed the whole night (apart from "Eden of The East: Paradise Lost", which will leave you confused if you haven't seen the previous films/series) :p

Earlier this week, I watched Makoto Shinkai's new film "Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo" at the BFI.

And wow! He's raised the bar high again for producing beautiful, animated visuals. I was in complete awe scene after scene of gorgeous backdrops :| :drool:

I thought the plot was pretty great alongside this tho, it won't appeal to everyone but I found it engaging. A immensely deep and fantasy/mythical-based film with many Ghibli elements scattered throughout; particularly from Laputa (Shinkai's favorite film), Nausicaa and Princess Mononoke as well as portraying the grief of losing someone close to you and how cruel the world can be, what said person means to you and the lengths you'll go to bring them back in your life .... from the afterlife.

It's even got some blood, guns and fighting ....

Yeah, so no doubt it's a complete departure from his earlier works with his usual formula but this new film goes to show he's got great talent and can think outside the box. I hope he continues this for his future works (Y)

Oh and a nice surprise (that I didn't expect) was that he was at the screening of the film. I personally thought he was in the US, promoting the film there.

It's the 2nd time I've seen him in person but unfortunately didn't get to meet him like I did with the screening of "5CM Per Second" a few years back.

He came on stage later after the film screened (with his translator) for an interview with the director of the cinema. Talking about how this film came about, him living in London, learning English (for a person who has lived here for just a year, his conversational English is damn good!), his creative processes with regards to producing "Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo" and how his cats betrayed him once he went back home to Japan :laugh:

So that's all from me, till next time! :D (Y)

Sadly the last manga i read was Biomega 3 Just haven't had the funds to get Manga lately, not to mention we no longer have a close book store (closet one is now more than an hours away) and I do not feel like ordering online.

Just watched Gundam Unicorn episode 4 and man what an awesome epsiode. Probably the best one so far! And I can't believe they had to end with such a cliffhanger. Here's waiting for the release of the next episode in May 2012.

Hey guy?s long time since I've been here (again), nice to see people kept this thread alive. Anyway just wanted to know if there are any new shows that are little funny and lot of action I still do watch Bleach, One Piece and Naruto (wtf is going on with this anime for the last few episodes really). I was just browsing thru some of the new one and mostly all of them are like joshikousei.

Yeah me too, good job for keeping this thread alive everyone :D

I've been absent from the discussion for a bit, but haven't stopped keeping up with my main shows. I haven't been watching the anime versions of bleach or naruto, as they are both in slow areas or filler. But the manga version of each is great. Bleach is starting to reveal some secrets of the past, so I am amped to learn more. Naruto is still in the huge ninja war, and the battle just gets more and more intense.

On a plus side, yesterday, I think I got my GF interested in naruto. Was showing her some FAS RO DAH funny vids people made, and came across a naruto one. She commented on how well the animation was. So I showed her the fight between naruto vs sasuke as kids in Naruto, as well as the fight between Naruto and Pain in Shippuuden. I explained to her the stories, how the characters had developed, and showed her some AMV's that had songs she liked, and explained how the meaning of the song actually expressed the feelings of the characters. So, we got to watching the first few episodes of Naruto last night :) Going to be a long journey, as there are roughly 220 episodes to just get up to Shippuuden, and then what, another 220 to catch up to now lol.

I just started watching naruto last week, currently on episode 108, where sasuke and naruto fight for first time. Waiting for one piece episode for 1 week is annoying. And One piece manga doesn't interests me at all, i like action in motion, reading manga only tells you about story. Friends recommended me to watch Cowboy bebop too, so kinda excited about it.

    • 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.
    • You didn't like Mafia The Definite Edition? As a fan of the first when it came out, I liked that remake.
