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

[shakey]

: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.

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?

[Jamushroom Veteran]

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.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

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?

also not seen the last ep of Dance in the Vampire bund yet.

[RadishTM Veteran]

Mmmm, got a craving for their fizzy cherry cola gummy bottles they use to do back in the day (Y)

I also noticed Phones 4U :laugh:

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?

[Azusa]

[Azusa]

REDLINE??? hell yeah im there!

[RadishTM Veteran]

I had the same reaction as you when I first read about it, been waiting for a while to see this and at one point thought it would never be released :)

I enjoy reading manga and watching manga but I don't see the enjoyment of going to conventions. :p

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

[HilariousNinja]

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.

[RadishTM Veteran]

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

Heresy. Motoko (Ghost in the Shell) > all

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?

[SidVicious]

Camrip of 'Disappearance' is out and subbed.

the after con party nothing beats a good runken singsong.

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...

First episode of Arakawa Under the Bridge = Pure gold (Y)

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.
