Oh nooo, that's terrible news :(

This filler arc wasn't too bad though.. I'm just tired of seeing the same techniques over and over again.

This thread: http://forums.bleachexile.com/showthread.php?t=52421

Gives an estimation to how long the fillers are going to last. Looks like there are 10 more episodes of filler starting from now :)

New Bleach came out and was actually a decent ending for the filler arc...... but there is another one. Seems like something up with the studio ( at least thats what it said at the end ) so they are doing another filler arc. Hopefully it wont last too long and we can get back to the real action.

NO MORE FILLER!!!!!!!!!!!! Someone make it stop :cry:

@Berserk87 - If you've yet to see Kimi no Todoke, I recommend seeing the latest episode (16) as its a recap of the series so far :)

I got the time, if i start watching it it'll take me 2 or 3 days to get caught up.

Just finished watching Code Geass (which is available on Anime News network Legally for free) the first season anyway. I thought it was a very good Anime however it felt a lot like Deathnote and also felt somewhat like Utawarerumono in the way it progressed. Dark secret in the background however they take forever to get there lol.

deathnote and code geass are two of my favorites, I havn't found anything that compares to them.

:blink::laugh:

I envy you. I now have because a very picky person who trolls on anything that comes off as cliched or pure fan service (aka little girls in swimsuits with no brains tripping over their teachers' crotch). Check out Gundam 00 and SEED if you liked Code Geass. I couldn't stand the teenage drama.

/will post less frequently due to school

//currently reading the 600th chapter of Hajime no Ippo (one of the best shounen (and sports) manga out there)

^i challenge you to watch Hidamari Sketch and not like it.

lolno. Voice actors forced to make "cutsey" voices annoy the $%@% out of me. Why would I want to watch anime about middle school students whose brains were replaced with melon bread? (then again I don't watch anime for escapism)

Your poster signifies everything that I think is wrong with the past four anime seasons.

or some of us stopped taking things to seriously and got rid of our rose tinted glasses.

I'm a serious guy who loves serious anime with great story telling (Ghost in the Shell, Jin-Roh) or parodies that don't mock my intelligence (Sayanora Zetsubou Sensei, Gintama, etc.). However, I do realize that I'm not the main demographic for 99% of the anime that have been released in the past 5 years. There are many series that I greatly disliked such as K-ON, Aria, Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou even though they are VERY highly rated.]

I also found out that my posters do actually say "Made in Taiwan", Yuri. How do you find out if they are genuine or not? /curious

By the way, Radish, Nasu was actually produced by people from the Ghibli team so you were correct in your observations.

real ones tend to have more copyright symbols on them that or a little bit of info like show name/air date/author/artist's name (like you find with megami) but if you want posters it's best to look on ebay and find the sets that go for $10 for like 10 or so and the people who print them to order.

Hajime no Ippo is one of the most detailed manga series I've ever come across. Every fight comes to life even though it's ink and paper (in a digital format). I doubt fight scenes in Bleach and Naruto compares to the ones in Ippo. Berserk and Basilisk are the only ones that come to mind with this life in a bloody fight.

I appreciate the heads up. My posters seem to be printed off a license a company bought for mass production instead of coming directly from the animation company. That would explain why they're cheap. I'll most probably get a wall scroll of GiTS, Cowboy Bebop.

A little question for you Radish did you ever get the chance to Read Tank girl?

Can't say that I have, why?

Cool, didn't expect that.

With the release of the live-action Wangan Midnight film recently, I don't think a new series is on the cards. Would really like it to happen and see it carry on from Akio/Tatsuya's race but a sequel to the film seems more likely because of it's appeal to the masses.

Initial D however desperately needs a new stage, I personally think OB Planning are waiting for the manga to finish before they start production or possibly release OVA's while the manga comes to an end. The animation is going to be on a whole new level if it's released.

Definitely want to see the Impreza strutting it's 4WD with Bunta at the wheel. Takumi can move over, he's had his fun with four stages.

just wondering

Well they might bring a new wangan series out cause there's plenty to work with

as for the Subaru Vs AE-86 i'd like to see it but add a NOS kit to the AE-86.

just wondering

You got me curious :p

but add a NOS kit to the AE-86.

I can see this happening to stay in-line with the younger generation, just hope they don't forget about the precise skill behind acceleration/braking/shifting. Think it's overkill, though I guess it gives the AE-86 a reason to be rebuilt.

    • EU says Meta must restore rival chatbots' access to WhatsApp by Hamid Ganji The European Commission has ordered Meta to restore third-party AI chatbots’ access to WhatsApp after the tech giant decided to block them from operating on the popular messaging platform. After Meta banned rival AI chatbots from operating on WhatsApp, the European Commission launched an antitrust investigation to determine whether the company had abused its market dominance. As a result of Meta’s decision, third-party AI chatbots, including Microsoft’s Copilot and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, were prevented from operating on WhatsApp. At the time, Meta said it wanted to reserve the WhatsApp Business API for other types of businesses and did not allow rival chatbots to use it. This effectively prevented the WhatsApp ecosystem from being used to distribute rival chatbot services. However, the European Commission has now announced an interim measures decision requiring Meta to restore access to WhatsApp for rival general-purpose AI assistants on the same terms and conditions as before October 15, 2025. The Commission has also asked Meta to maintain that access until the antitrust investigation is concluded. The Commission argues that Meta has used its dominant market position to prevent rival AI chatbots from accessing the WhatsApp Business API. While Meta allowed rival services to return to WhatsApp by paying a fee, the European Commission still considers that arrangement to be a de facto access ban. According to EU antitrust chief Teresa Ribera, the fees introduced by Meta are so high that using WhatsApp is no longer economically sustainable for competitors. “It seems that Meta expects to leverage the vast reach and likely dominance of WhatsApp to benefit its own AI assistant and to foreclose rivals,” Ribera said. “We cannot let large digital incumbents leverage their dominance of the past to dictate who in Europe gets to compete and who gets to innovate in AI.”
    • A few years ago walmart had the 512 models on clearance for $35. I bought 3 of them. I should have purchased more.
    • I'm fine with a little reasonable promotion of Edge, but the degree which they do it right now I consider extremely unreasonable. 
    • Microsoft AI boss no longer believes that AI will replace human workers by David Uzondu Mustafa Suleyman, the head of Microsoft AI, recently took back his statements concerning white-collar jobs that he gave to the Financial Times in an interview made back in February, where he claimed that AI would replace office workers within 12 to 18 months. On Monday's episode of The Verge's Decoder, Suleyman recast the technology as more like a helpmate than a tool designed to take over your job. He explained that smaller office duties will "increasingly become digitized, automated" as people generate more digital materials. During the discussion, Suleyman emphasized a "very important distinction" between "tasks" and "jobs" to clarify his previous claims. He argued that his earlier comments only referred to individual actions that people perform at their desks. Suleyman used to work for DeepMind, the research lab he co-founded in 2010 alongside Demis Hassabis and Shane Legg, before he left in 2022 to establish Inflection AI and build an empathetic digital assistant. Microsoft hired him in March 2024 to lead its newly formed "Microsoft AI" division, placing him in charge of consumer products like Copilot, Bing, and Edge. His February comments also detailed plans for Microsoft to achieve self-sufficiency with a $140 billion infrastructure budget to train frontier models, predicting that creating a customized AI will soon feel like creating a podcast or a new blog: The 41-year-old is not the only AI executive who's softened his "AI will replace you" stance. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, last month used X to push back against employment panic by arguing that his startup builds tools to assist humans rather than build replacements. He had previously garnered backlash by suggesting that many modern office roles that AI might replace did not qualify as "real work" in the first place, at least when you compare desk jobs to physical, historical labor like farming.
