[Official] Anime/Manga Thread


Recommended Posts

There was 2 girls, which I believe belong to Ukitake. Then there is a woman with an eye patch, haven't seen her yet. And another guy in a sort of snakish-hooded robe that we have yet to see as well. The one with the eye patch may belong to Saido and the hooded one very well could be CC's. Can't wait to see more of this arch.

Also, no need for spoilers on the anime that aired already :p

ah the woman that look like a pirate of some sort

could it be capt. ohana Zanpaktou in human form ?? i imagine

Could be.....

i just read from the waki

Yamamoto is then shown as a prisoner of the zanpakuto, with Sogyo no Kotowari, Katen Kyoutsu, and Minazuki encasing him in a barrier.

but still no idea

edit: oh i just checked again it was Ohana ,Kyōraku ,and Ukitake Zanpakutos :blink:

just like what i guessed captain class Zanpakutos

not sure about which is which

I enjoyed the part between Ashoki and Yachiru more :p come to think of it. We've never seen her zanpuktou in shikai either. :blink:

It's hard to believe the Captain-Commander is held captive though :huh:

We've never really seen Yachiru do any fighting either though.

i just read from the waki

but still no idea

edit: oh i just checked again it was Ohana ,Kyōraku ,and Ukitake Zanpakutos :blink:

awesome. Hope we get to see them fight soon. Wonder if the captain was just playing coy this whole time just so he could find the CC.

Last episode of Cowboy Bebop = epic gun/sword fight.

I gave Cowboy Bebop a 10 because it is probably the only anime series that has classy comedy, intelligent characters battling with duality and various situations depicting their personalities. The story line (following Spike) isn't original; neither are the characters nor their actions. However, the space setting with a neo-capitalist society run amok by the Japanese type of yakuza in some parts accompanied by the jazzy blues and eclectic song mix sums up how this anime series' whole is much more than the sum of its parts.

Weekly WTH LOL OMG! scene...

Mobile Fighter G Gundam... A horse manages to pilot a Gundam... I never thought it could get this ridiculous. X_X

I just re-watched the first season of Initial D. I love cars, even though I'm not that knowledgeable about the technical part of cars. I gave this anime an eight out of ten when I first watched it. I have to dock two points because the novelty wore off and I noticed the cheesy background music (with some interesting trance thrown in for good measure), horrific animation of the characters and terribly clicheed shounen characters. (However, the main character does have an interesting relationship with a girl with a very questionable "part time job".) The only redeemable factor about this anime is that when it comes to cars, it provides an exciting, unique experience for any anime fan out there and "detailed" car battles. Out of the swamp of mechas, harems, "moe" animes and post-apocalyptic landscape that one can call "anime", Initial D manages to cover a hobby/sport well enough to give the adrenaline rush of watching an animated drift race.

Original score: 8/10

Revised score: 6/10

Note: This thread finally passed 100,000 views. BANZAI!

Muramasa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

This article is about the famous swordsmith. For the video game, see Muramasa: The Demon Blade. For the band, see Japanese ska.

Muramasa Sengo (千子 村正 Sengo Muramasa) was a famous swordsmith who founded the Muramasa school and lived during the Muromachi period (16th century) in Japan. Oscar Ratti and Adele Westbrook said that Muramasa "was a most skillful smith but a violent and ill-balanced mind verging on madness, that was supposed to have passed into his blades....They were popularly believed to hunger for blood and to impel their warrior to commit murder or suicide."[1]

The school of sword-making at Ise province was famous for the extraordinary sharpness of their blades. The earliest known work of the school is dated at 1501; the Muramasa school continued into the late 1500s.[2] It's believed that Sengo Muramasa was a student of Heianjo Nagayoshi, a prominent Kyoto swordsmith known for spears and engravings.

Muramasa's swords fell out of favor with the Japanese government when Tokugawa Ieyasu became shogun, establishing the Tokugawa Shogunate, in 1603. It is said that Ieyasu had lost many friends and relatives to Muramasa blades and had cut himself badly with one, so he forbade his samurai to wear blades made by Muramasa. This contributed even more to the Muramasa legend and led to many plays and dramas in Japanese literature featuring the blades. Due to the stigma attached to them, many Muramasa blades had their signature changed or removed. Since opponents of the Tokugawa Shoguns would often wish to acquire Muramasa blades, forgeries of Muramasa blades were also often made.

The swords of Muramasa are often contrasted with those of Masamune, another Japanese swordsmith.

There is a legend of a Masamune blade and a Muramasa blade being put into a river strewn with lotus leaves. The leaves swirled around the Masamune blade untouched, but the Muramasa blade cut them.

It has also been told that once drawn, a Muramasa blade has to draw blood before it can be returned to its scabbard, even to the point of forcing its wielder to wound himself or commit suicide.[3] Thus, it is thought of as a demonic cursed blade that creates bloodlust in those who wield it.

From Wiki.... Thought it might be interesting to anyone watching Bleach atm.

Why oh Why did i start watching Inuyasha?
cause you NEED to complete it :p .

Inuyasha's one of the original shows that got me hooked on anime. Yes... believe it. :p

I'm waiting to start Final Act to be honest. I really like the English actors from the first series so I might wait for the dubbed version. I'm just not impressed by the quality of the subs or video quality on any of the current releases. Feel free to call me crazy and recommend a good group though. ;)

    • We need a game update frequency setting. * Right now your recent games will be auto updated overnight, and your unrecent games won't be updated. The bifurcation of recent and unrecent is fine, but we should be able to control the update frequency for both, with any of the following options: 1. Don't auto update 2. Auto update weekly 3. Auto update overnight 3. Auto update immediately (push) i.e. When I'm playing a lot, I want my recently played games to have push updates, so if a dev releases an update at 4pm, it's already downloaded on my Xbox by the time I get home. The current overnight cadence leaves a lot of wasted time waiting for updates on slow connections. My infrequently played games in ok with deferring to overnight, or maybe weekly, but let the users control their frequency. Basing it on data and last played sounds smart but ignores the human reality that often when I'm busiest and have the least time for games is when it sucks the most to come home and find a huge update list waiting for you.
    • Genocide is intent to exterminate and both the Israeli government AND its people openly declare, even boast about their intent to exterminate Arabs. This society of sick psychopaths has even made songs about it. Zionist means believing Israel should exist as an religious ethno-state where only Jews have rights and everyone else is second class citizen. As for the blood libel thing, we already know zionists get off on killing children. We also know Israel is a safe heaven for all the pedophiles and rapists of the world. Honestly, after what we saw in the Epstein files, I wouldn't put anything past this depraved death cult. Of course all atrocities committed by tHe wOrLds mOsT mOrAl aRmY are always "unproven or taken out of context". Unfortunately for them, their soldiers are dumb enough to leave a trail of their war crimes all over social media. Then again, when you live in a society that's obsessed with death and destruction, posting videos of yourself in the act of ransacking homes and desecrating religious monuments earns you brownie points I guess. Israel is the only society in the world where people come out on the roads for the right to **** prisoners. Also claiming that the BBC said this and AP said that without so much as a link has gotten me curious. Are all zionists this dumb? I really hope you aren't getting paid for this because this is some low effort propaganda.
    • Microsoft is bringing big performance improvements to OneDrive on Mac by Taras Buria Microsoft has announced a major update for the OneDrive client on macOS. Today, the company released version 26.098, promising significantly faster sync, optimized CPU usage, a smaller memory footprint, and better energy efficiency. In a newly published blog post, Microsoft acknowledged that changes implemented in OneDrive for Mac in 2022 brought some unwanted side effects. Due to architectural changes and the need to keep the OneDrive sync engine unchanged, Microsoft created a hidden cache folder. With time, it would cause reliability and performance issues for customers. Now, Microsoft is ditching the old engine for native sync, delivering a faster, more reliable experience. As a result of this change, OneDrive for Mac now integrates more deeply into the operating system, offers about two times faster sync performance, and uses fewer system resources. While the hidden folder still exists, the app only uses it to store files that have not been uploaded yet, link file types, and macOS-related packages. In total, even when holding hundreds of files, the temporary folder does not take more than a couple of megabytes on the drive. Besides optimizations, the new sync engine enables external drive support, allowing you to keep your OneDrive folder on a removable drive (it should meet all the requirements). Microsoft is now rolling out the updated OneDrive client for Microsoft 365 Insiders. To check if your Mac has the new sync engine, go to the About tab and check the app version. If it ends with something like 26H, you are on the new engine. If not, you are on the old one. Microsoft says it will take a few weeks to complete the rollout to Insiders, but it won't say when to expect the update in the stable channel. Big performance updates for OneDrive on Mac came right after Microsoft confirmed it would soon kill document editing in Office 2019 for Mac due to expiring certificates. This change will force users to look for alternatives or switch to Microsoft 365.
