[Official] Anime/Manga Thread


Recommended Posts

Hey guys any recommendations from this season's batch of anime? I'm watching Gintama and Nurarihyon 2 for now (along with a few from the spring batch)

I picked "Nekogami Yaoyorozu" for the lulz and "Usagi Drop" for srs slice-of-life.

I used to love Bleach, but then all this Aizen is invincible thing came on and I got irritated. But I should give it a second chance. Currently I'm more into Blue Exorcist.

I heard that show was getting really popular, I have it on my HDD but I'm waiting until one season is done at least. Seems a bit like D.Gray-man to me..

Hi, I'm not much of an anime fan, only anime from 90's that I knew of (until recently) are Sailor Moon an Pokemon (if I recall correctly, both of those I watched more than eagerly), but recently I've become a believer! Can I hear a hallelujah? ;)

My first contact with "modern" anime took place few months ago, can you guess what was it? Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt! My reaction after watching first ep: "WTF?!? AWESOME! MOAR!" Since then I've watched H.O.T.D, Bakemonogatari, Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai, and finally my latest obsession Railgun and Index (currently watching S2 of index). Currently waiting in line are Beelzebub and Kara no Kyoukai.

So after that short story of my life let me get straight to the point:

I'm looking for some reliable and frequently updated source of anime news and reviews.

Another believer!

If you want updated news I always check Anime News Network. They have a top 50 list (goes up to 500 I think) so you can get an accurate account of what people think are good shows.

If you like shounen anime some good shows are:

Hunter X Hunter

One Piece

Bleach

Naruto

D.Gray-Man

Rurouni Kenshin

Code Geass

There's lots more but those are some of the best imo, anyways welcome to the club! :p

Thanks for the link, looks like a really good news source.

As for you recommendations, I've seen few episodes on Naruto, it wasn't bad, but I can't say I enjoyed it much. Will for sure check out the rest.

For me it's not about type of anime but about the world/story presented in it.

For now it seems like I mostly enjoy stories that involve mix of science and supernatural (a bit of magic added to that wont hurt) that take place in worlds "so similar, yet so different" to ours + some comedy, which is always warmly welcomed by me.

For now I have to go through "withdrawal syndrome" after watching every episode of Railgun and Index (both of those are currently my No. 1).

BTW, someone knows when shows picked up for 2011/12 will get announced?

I'm hoping for more PSG and (of course) Index or Railgun

Taking Bets on Ichigo being the Soul King somehow.

There has been tons of rumors and discussion about the secret family of the soul society and who Ichigo's family belongs to.

Don't know where or if this filler arc is going to address it, but this arc is pretty good at the moment, in both Anime and Manga, though both are different stories.

I'm more excited from Naruto though. This epic ninja war is just insane and I want to see it animated out already.

Try Yu Yu Hakusho and give it at least 5-10 episodes. It's a shounen anime done right. Death Note and the newly released Blue Exorcist (ao no exorcist) are also worth a watch. However death note may make you feel like an idiot when compared to Light or L :p

Damn, BLEACH manga is heating up, makes me really excited to see what's going to happen in the next few chapters :D !

Scirwode

if the bleach arc is done, does that mean the next episodes will be back to the main story line?

I recently started watching cromartie high and one piece.

Not to sure about one piece since im getting into way late, but ill give it a chance.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
