:laugh::rofl:

Or even better, a few years from now, they will restart Bleach as "Bleach: Brotherhood" and follow the manga instead of zigzagging everywhere.

lol, ya. But on fairness, the only reason it has to jump away from the manga is due to it catching up. If they did wait, they could have made a stream lined version, but in its current form, they would have to wait months between releases if they wanted to only stick to the manga. Though, if you leave out the filler, Bleach is an exact copy of the manga.

Also, for the rest of bleach, there really isn't any more of orihime crying or whatever. It's mostly captains fighting arrancar and Aizen, with ichigo coming back alone to battle them. His friends and all that are actually still in hueco mundo, and have not interfered with the story in a good while. The manga has really helped renew my interest with the last couple of chapters.

On the other hand, FMA:B looks like we might be catching up to the end and having to take a wait before we get more episodes. They are probably about 3 episodes away from catching up to the manga, and the manga only releases 1 chapter a month. Though the manga is soon to end as well, I think the anime will catch up before it does.

I also gave the Sedoku?? no night raid a try, and it was great. The animation, era it took in, characters powers and interaction was all great. Was this the first and only episode released yet? Is this story taking place after another anime or off of something? As I am a little lost on the characters and how they came to be.

^Would you recommend to someone who hasn't seen any sports anime before? :p

If you enjoy watching football, without a doubt (Y) Otherwise, it's not for you.

There could possibly be a break with 12 episodes left to air till the series finishes.

Time to watch some K-ON!! and Senkou no Night Raid :p

@yurithedragonhalf, watched the last episode of Bund yet?

Then it's a no-go for me, which I kinda expected :p

You'll enjoy Senkou no Night Raid though. I've watched it yesterday and I quite enjoyed it. For some odd reason the ending made me think about GiTS.

Is Senkou no Night Raid a new anime or a pre-existing or sequel to another anime? Are there more episodes out than just 1? I did enjoy the 1st a lot.

New anime and it's a series of 13 episodes.

I believe it's an anime without a prequel or anything. I think that they're going to explain the characters along the way though.

Also, there's currently only 1 episode out because it's a brand new anime :p

Great start to Giant Killing, captured the competitive essence of football (as well as the managerial problems within clubs) and the character development was decent (Y) The Celtic OP was nice and I liked how the FA Cup was featured as Tatsumi's back-story before he came back to Japan, I'm going to enjoy watching this for sure :)

yeah just started on the show too and anyone for pic'n'mix?

as did i and im also wondering if they'll do the whole "let's teach people how it's all done in England" thing.

Possibly with the back-story an all, just have to see how it pans out.

Going to the all-nighter at the end of the month?

Finished off Code Geass:R2. Loved the ending. The second season really did live up to expectations, I enjoyed the first but R2 took things to another level.

Also, watched the first episode of Honey and Clover. I'm already in love with it.

After watching "Alcatraz Connection", Fujiko from Lupin III has become my favourite "femme fatale" character (Y) :D

Heresy. Motoko (Ghost in the Shell) > all

ever been to one outside the US? (i assume you're from the US)

No, I have not. I do not see the appeal of meeting people who share the same entertainment interests.

Curious question: What percentage of the attendees are otakus?

The ending of Code Geass R2 actually caught me by surprise.

I have yet to watch a mecha anime that is anywhere near as good. I still have Eureka Seven to watch, some say that's better though...

lolno. Code Geass is not mecha. It's teenage drama. If you like that, then check out Tengen Toppen Gurren Lagaan and Gundam Seed. Real Mecha is the old Gundam series, such as 08th MS Team and Zeta Gundam. Code Geass and Eureka Seven are apples and oranges. Eureka Seven has traditional Ghibli tones rather than the flaming drama that CG presents.

    • Helium Browser 0.13.1.1

      By cork1958 · Posted

      FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • U.S. delegation throws away all burner phones and gifts from China before takeoff

      By AsherGZ · Posted

      See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.
    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By QuantumBigfoot · Posted

      He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
