Just picked up Akira on Blu-ray for ?10. Never seen it before... have i wasted my money?

Oh god no, enjoy it fully.

[Neo003]

or rinnegan? because he wants to master all jutsu like orichimaru, and rinnegan is perfect for it.

But first they'll reveal who the heck tobi is. I still don't think sasuke is any match for tobi.

BTW really hearty episode of Naruto shippuden.

Ya, they animated it well. I enjoyed it a lot. Was very sincere.

[Duffydemon]

I didnt watched last two episodes, after reading all manga i kinda lost interest in anime, but i'll still watch it because you cant feel the action in manga.

B/W one piece is making me excited again, they finally are in new world and luffy already messed with one of four yonkos, Big mama.

[rustix]

As shakey said this week's episode of Naruto was very sincere and nicely done. As for this week's chapter... EPIC! I can't wait to see it animated. With regard to Sasuke vs Naruto, there is one other advantage Sasuke has (or at least had before Naruto started getting along with Kurama) which hasn't been mentioned in the current discussion so far; Sasuke was able to use his sharingan to look into Naruto and suppress the kyuubi when they met at Orochimaru's lair after the time jump. I'm curious to see whether he'll still be able to do so now that Naruto and is getting along with Kurama.

@simrat

I'm looking forward to the adventures of the strawhat crew in the new world :D

[shakey]

Totally forgot about that as well rustix.... Sasuke is getting powerful, and he may be able to just get inside Naruto as well... Damn, I want to see this fight already :p

[Duffydemon]

Now kurama and naruto are fighting together, it will also help naruto from sasuke's genjutsu, like hachibi helped Bee in battle with sasuke.

[rustix]

Things are most certainly heating up esp since we've been kept in the dark about Sasuke's new abilities. BTW i can't remember but did Naruto ever make use of the power that Itachi put in him?

[Duffydemon]

Yea, during fight with itachi in shinobi War, if i remember correctly.

[rustix]

ahh yes i think I faintly remember it being mentioned. too bad that ace is played then...

[Duffydemon]

Like i said it was to save him from sasuke genjutsu, now naruto and kurama are friends, so it wont work, because you need someone to touch you to get out of genjutsu..

[Neo003]

Is anyone still reading Deadman Wonderland.

[rustix]

I've been considering starting to read it. I watched the anime and it seemed pretty interesting

[Neo003]

"Eureka Seven: Astral Ocean" Manga is out (trans).

[Neo003]

Hold on, I'm totally wrong about this. It actually is the girl of the story named Naru Arata and the girl behind her is actually her sister. I thought the boy was living with his sister, father and grandmother. But in the picture, the boy (Ao Fukai) is actually in the "Nirvash". I already thought it was wrong to make a boy version of Eureka :pinch: Besides, I'm sure they wont give a boy pink eyes, haha :p

Sorry for the mix up.

I'm really hoping that this new series will have a great soundtrack mug like the previous series had. That was one great soundtrack.

You were close enough; the boy "Ao" is Eureka?s son. Renton's whereabouts are unknown but it says that eureka died a while back (it would be sad if she actually died, hoping she's alive)

[Jamushroom Veteran]

^How is that possible? And where did you get the information?

As far as I interpreted the end of Eureka Seven is that they weren't even on Earth any more.

Edit: I take it you read "Eureka Seven: Astral Ocean"? :p I'm going to put that off as I don't want the anime to be spoiled, haha.

Looks to me like eureka and Renton got busy and out came a baby boy, to hide him from someone or something happen to Renton and eureka came to this little island with Ao.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

I'm finding it odd though. At the end of Eureka Seven they left earth as far as I know :s I do hope that they'll explain it. I'm glad that they have a link to Eureka and Renton. Would've been odd if the both of them had nothing to do with this story. Really looking forward to the anime!

at the end of eureka seven (the tv show not the movie) they did not leave earth as they were not on earth to begin with they were on the scub coral (aka Land of Kanan) which encased the earth. when the Coralians went into a different dimension to stop the 'limit of questions' from happening they took half of humanity and half of the scub coral with them, thus revealing the encased earth.

the movie takes place in the alternate dimension that the Coralians went to. that is why at one point holland and the others see the other 'earth' (which they called neverland) with the trapar ring and the carved moon

woo! just finished reading Eureka Seven: Astral Ocean chapter 1! can't wait for the next one

[Neo003]

Yeah where the 61 pages went by I didn't even realise it. I think it's too much to hope they'll release all chapter 60+ pages but It too much to ask. :(

The movie is a retelling of the original story so I don't see that as part of the actual series. I did know these things but I believed that Renton and Eureka weren't on earth with the others anymore at the end of the series either. I'll be rewatching the series before watching the new one, that's for sure. It's been 2 years since I've seen it and the movie for a 3rd time 2 weeks ago. So things the stories are a bit mixed up in my head atm :p

it is a retelling but it takes place in an alternate universe, that is why holland sees the TV serries earth when he went through the 'zone'. some people think of it as just a retelling and some people think that it is the place/universe that the Coralians went to at the end of the TV series and thats why the alternate earth appears as it does at the end of the tv series

i plan to rewatch the show as a marathon this weekend before reading anymore of the manga

[Jamushroom Veteran]

I saw those similarities as well. Pretty neatly done if you ask me.

[SidVicious]

Bleach is ending:

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-02-01/tite-kubo-bleach-manga-to-enter-final-arc

[shakey]

Yup, this is going to be the last arc. But it is supposed to be pretty long... I've heard about as long as the first arc from Ichigo to defeating Aizen. So while it is the last, it wont be over for a good 2 years at least. I'm hoping they address Ichigo's families past with this new one.
