Huh?...I thought that was just his shikai?

I'm pretty sure that is his bankai. His shikai just does the wind attack and brings out both swords. His bankai requires him to play games with the enemy, but it is a clean bankai. The more his move could hurt him, the more powerful his attack will be. That's why at the end, he removed his white robe, wearing all black, and said "black".

Rewatched "Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig - Individual Eleven" today but this time at 1080p. It felt like I was watching it for the first time. I had also totally forgotten about the bible references at the end because it's been too long since I had watched it. Was very smartly done by Production I.G. the way they used those references. Several apples around Motoko and Kuze who were about to start new life on the net with the refugees (Adam and Eve). And later Motoko seeing Kuze had taken a bit of his apple (The forbidden fruit/apple). Batou who tried to free Motoko out of all of the debris with a cross (Jesus).

According to the wiki his bankai form is yet to be revealed though :blink:

Now finished Toradora! and Mushishi.

Mushishi was stunning, Ginko is ridiculously cool. The artwork and soundtrack completely just engrossed me, and I finished the whole series in a matter of days.

Toradora! was very,very funny. That was one big plus point for the series. Looking it over it seemed different to other romance animes which was also quite refreshing.

Guess real life has taken priority for him.

Moving along .... Need to catch up with some anime, J-dramas and StarCraft II have been taking up most of my time lately :p

Bleach is the only exception to this ;)

I'm pretty sure that was just his shikai too because I dont remember it being mentioned as bankai in the manga

I have to catch up with the anime when I get the time

I could be wrong, but I thought these fights are what show us their bankais. Hard to say, but wiki says it is still unknown as well... bleach needs to clear this up for me or us :p

Is neon genesis evangelion good?

Yep. Though I recommend watching the new film remakes as opposed to the original series for a newcomer to NGE, easier to understand and Shinji won't annoy the **** out of you :p

Is neon genesis evangelion good?

Both the series and the rebuilds are good IMO. But just what RadishTM said; If you're a newbie to NGE then you should definitely start with the rebuilds.

    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
    • You didn't like Mafia The Definite Edition? As a fan of the first when it came out, I liked that remake.
