I won't have any suggestions for that as I don't watch One Piece :p

You see, I was one of those believers, until a friend forced it on me. I am definitely loving it now. The series is not stupid (as you may think it is) at all. Fights are incredible, and for the first time ever, I was hooked up to watch the series up until 3:00 a.m. (something that I don't usually do).

But your eyes are going to hurt on the first episodes.

And remember this, I didn't believe it at first when my friend told me, but, the drawing improves a lot throughout the series.

One Piece looks like loads of fun, I admit that. But I'm not a fan of anime series that go on forever. Bleach has also been recommended to me numerous times but I just couldn't bring myself to watch it. Dragon Ball Z was the first and last anime that went on forever that I watched :p

O man

the lack of bleach anime start to kill me :(

Agree, I like the Manga still releasing new ones, but lack of the anime is a very sad thing.

Been looking for a new one since, if anyone wants to suggest anything my fav animes so far have been Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Bleach, Code Geass, Full Metal Alchemist (the first one), Naruto in that order. not really interested in One Piece/Death Note/some other popular anime I can't remember the name of, but beyond that I'm interested in suggestions.

Basically anything with lots of action, preferably non-realistic (hate shows like pretty much all the Gundams, the mech-based combat is not my thing, but shows like Bleach and FMA are more my style of what type of combat I enjoy) and somewhat newer (I can't get into some of the non-realistic animes focused around demons, can't remember what they are called though). Any suggestions?

That being said I might check out the detective conan mentioned by Azusa, sounds like it might be interesting based on some of the comments but it doesn't sound like it's going to sate my bloodlust for action animes.

@rajputwarrior: You should also give Paprika a try, which is a great psychological anime. The original book of it was used as an inspiration for Inception as well. Should give you an idea of what Paprika is about: Dreams. Though very different than Inception of course.

Just finished watching Paprika. I somewhat liked it :p. I think I'll need to rewatch it to get it right. I think I was thinking too much of Inception. Really like the Ending, though.

Three words for resuming my experience with the movie:

super mind-fuq

:p.

Haha, well I did say that the original book was only an inspiration for Inception :p But yeah, it's one of those anime you'll have to rewatch to get it.

I liked this movie. A bit on the wild side but its great flick to watch. I might have to find my DVD and watch it again tonight.

Two Words Blue Gender!!!!

I just finished the blue gender about a week ago. You liked it? I found it drawn out and boring. The mech designs not so great and the blue ****ty design too.

Yeah, I tried watching it, and maybe it's because I only watched the first episode, but it seemed to focus too much on mech combat. The thing I liked about Code Geass, is while it did have mech combat, there was plenty of action outside of the mechs. Seemed really boring to me just going through the first episode of Blue Gender.

that is just the first 2-3 eps. After that there are no mechs again until the end. I finished the series but was not enjoying it.

Well it is one of the more adult Anim? like The Legend Of The Galactic Heroes and as for the design of the mechs The Armored Shrike is a piece of Military hardware it's not meant to be pretty it's not the big kiddy toy like Gundam and i liked that about them mainly cause they reminded me of something from WarHammer 40.000.

Perhaps Samurai Champloo could be something you'd like? Blade Of The Immortal and maybe even Cowboy Bebop and Trigun. The first 2 are anime with sword fighting (of course you could've figured that out by reading the titles, haha). The 2nd one is more about gunfights and intrigue. The last one is also more about gun fights.

Finished the first season of Darker than Black. Probably get through the second season over the weekend.

Anyone know any good anime themed podcasts? I used to listen to the Anime News Networks podcast, but usually there was only like 10 minutes of good banter between the hosts at the beginning followed by a boring hour-long interview with some minor player in the anime business and then emails that seemed to always resulted in them complaining about how piracy has hurt the industry.

I'm looking for some Anime.

I don't much care for TV shows (ala cartoon network), so Full Metal Alchemist wasn't

my bag, baby. Adult is fine.

Go!

P.S.

Kindly quote this when making suggestions so I can find your suggestions quicker. Thanks.

What genres do you like?

Darker than Black is kind of an action/mystery thing. Very episodic (not much continuity between episodes).

I talk about FLCL, Studio Ghibli films, and Next is Now and Then Here and There in this blog post.

I talk about Neon Genesis Evangelion, Toaru Majutsu no Index, and Ergo Proxy in this post.

So it seems I had completely forgotten to watch the 4th episode of Gundam Unicorm. This didn't strike me even while looking around for episode 5! On the plus side this means I have two episodes to watch back to back :D

^If you like Vexille's art style then you'll surely like Appleseed and Appleseed Ex Machina.

I should check out Appleseed too. Should I watch the OVA first or the Movie first? Or does the order not matter?

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
