[Official] Anime/Manga Thread

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

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.

Code Geass :p

Already seen it and loved it (it's in my list of Anime I've seen in the post you quoted :p).

Thanks, will look into 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.

Watched "Toaru Hik?shi e no Tsuioku" yesterday (500th anime :fun: ), simple plot yet very enjoyable to watch - 8/10 (Y)

[Jamushroom Veteran]

^It's finally out? Good to hear! And congrats on your 500th anime!

[rustix]

Gundam UC episode 5 is out. Hope it's subbed fast :shifty:

Wow! That's some milestone. Congrats! :beer:

[Jamushroom Veteran]

^Indeed, they have to hurry! :p

[McCordRm]

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.

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.

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.

The art style of Vexile is pretty badass.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

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

[rustix]

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?
