[Official] Anime/Manga Thread


Recommended Posts

Watched the 1st/2nd episodes of Initial D 5th Stage in one hit and oh my god it was worth the wait after all these years, more eurobeat/M.O.V.E. is always good! :happy:

Only thing I'm annoyed with is that the series is not getting a regular broadcast every week, instead it's two episodes a month! Which means it will take a year to air (24 episodes), quite silly for a popular anime of the racing genre :hmmm:

New Initial D? What? It's been years since the last episode of stage 4 without any sort of information on when stage 5 would start and it comes out of the blue? I've looked for info on it from time to time and never found any evidence that it was even being worked on. Great news.

So Zangetsu cannot be repaired (only reforged), are we going to see a new zanpakuto from Ichigo (possible drawing from his Quincy side), or just a remodel of Zangetsu?

Very eager to see what will happen to it.

This chapter brought so many WTF moments... Who was Urahara hiding back there? Grimjaw? The ****ing filler enemies from the last arc are all back it seems.... and seem like they are working for the good guys now.... I'm all sorts of confused.

When i first saw Urahara hiding someone, my first thought was Ishida.Tite Kubo did hint that we'd see Grimjaw in the final arc.

How awesome did Ganjuu look though?

Was this ganjuu? http://www.manga-acc.../chapter/518/19

I thought it was that main bad guy in the last filler arc of the fullbringers.

And what talk is this of "disappointing our uncle"? Is she and Ichigo somehow related? http://www.manga-access.com/manga/B/Bleach/chapter/518/18

And who is their uncle? I must have forgotten that if they had mentioned it.

They haven't mentioned that yet, I am thinking they would be disappointing their uncle by helping the shinigami or something. I just didn't see how one could come to the conclusion that they were related to Ichigo simply because helping him would disappoint their uncle.

I was reading through it really quick, didn't realize she was talking to her brother, and instead, thought she was talking to Ichigo lol.

I was all confused when I looked at the last page. I was thinking to myself, "That sword looks rather familiar......" Then I was thinking, Fullbring Arc...... But there is no way right??? This Arc is shaping up to be something special.... I cannot wait for Zangetsu to be reforged, and for Ichigo to start training.

Oh, and shakey, I am changing the Avatar, I promise.

And who is their uncle? I must have forgotten that if they had mentioned it.

It's been hinted on the bleach forums and from look of what K?kaku said that Isshin Kurosaki (Is part of the shiba clan) is their uncle and he would

be disappointed/sadden if Ichigo went to the spirit palace. it's just a theory from all the hints.

It's like they read this thread and put it on paper :laugh:

I hope they don't make him all emotional through this. I hope he'll still be his single minded self but with added bankai.

I think it will be a great thing. Unohana already was badass. Everyone respected her, and now I understand why Yamamoto did not want her fighting..... So, Kenpachi is going to become a beast!!!! Epicness, and Ichigo... geez

Yeah, everyone feared her too....when she gets serious people even like Kenpachi and most other captains back off......we can see why now (or at least have a proper explanation). I find it very interesting though that Yamamoto stopped training Kenpachi because he feared what would happen if Kenpachi reached his potential then defected. Considering he didn't take this precaution with anyone else, including Aizen, it speaks volumes for Kenpachi's potential.

As for Ichigo, he basically gave the finger to Kirinji (the hot springs guy) by causing his hand more damage than Ichigo took from his punch.

Last chapter was just amazing. So many things answered and revealed.

Ichigo being waaay more powerful than even the Zero guard predicted, almost breaking that 1 guys hand.

We got to see who the first Kenpachi was, which who I did sort of suspect, was very glad to finally get closure. I would like to know just how much she was trained, and am very eager to see how much they will train Kenpachi.... because if 1 day was enough for Captain Comander to call it quits........ I'm very excited.

Also, with Unohana being the healing Captain but also the first true Kenpachi.... I can only imagine the destruction she can bring, all the while, keeping herself perfectly alive.

Yes, the next chapter should be interesting.

Very much looking forward to the day when they start making the Bleach anime again.

    • BATorrent 3.0.2 by Razvan Serea BATorrent is a lightweight, open-source BitTorrent client built with modern C++ and Qt 6, offering a clean, fast, and privacy-focused alternative to traditional torrent apps. It supports magnet links, .torrent files, resume data, sequential downloading, per-file priorities, and even imports from qBittorrent. Power users benefit from integrated RSS auto-download with regex filtering, duplicate detection, and automatic tracker lists from Stremio. Streaming is seamless thanks to auto-detected players like VLC and IINA. BATorrent includes robust VPN tools—interface binding, auto-detection for WireGuard-based services like Mullvad and NordLynx, kill switch, proxy support, and IP filtering. A full WebUI enables remote control, while integrations with Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby automate library updates. With themes, speed scheduling, system-tray alerts, and cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, and macOS, BATorrent delivers a polished, high-performance torrenting experience. BATorrent features: Core .torrent file and magnet link support Resume data — picks up where you left off after restart Import torrents from qBittorrent Create .torrent files from any file or folder Sequential download mode Per-file priority control (skip, low, normal, high) Seed ratio limits with auto-pause DHT, PEX, UPnP, NAT-PMP RSS Auto-Download Subscribe to RSS feeds — automatically download new torrents as they appear Regex filters — match only what you want (e.g. 1080p|720p, S01E\d+) Per-feed settings — custom save path, check interval (5–1440 min), enable/disable Auto-download — matched items are downloaded automatically in the background Supports magnet links, .torrent URLs, and tags Tray notifications when items are auto-downloaded Duplicate detection — never downloads the same item twice Stremio Stremio Addon System pre-installed — works out of the box Auto tracker list from ngosang/trackerslist Streaming Play while downloading — stream video files before the download is complete Supports mp4, mkv, avi, mov, wmv, flv, webm, m4v, ts Auto-detects installed players (VLC, IINA, system default) VPN & Privacy Interface binding — lock torrent traffic to a specific network interface (e.g. tun0) Auto VPN detection — identifies VPN interfaces (tun, tap, WireGuard, Mullvad, NordLynx, ProtonVPN) Kill switch — automatically pauses all torrents if the VPN interface drops Auto-resume — resumes only the torrents paused by the kill switch when VPN reconnects Proxy support — SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy with optional authentication IP filtering — load P2P blocklists to block unwanted IP ranges Protocol encryption (enabled / forced / disabled) WebUI Remote management — control torrents from any browser at http://localhost:8080 REST API with JSON responses Add torrents via magnet link or .torrent upload Pause, resume, remove torrents remotely View peers and files per torrent Dark theme matching the desktop app HTTP Basic Auth with SHA-256 password hashing Configurable port and remote access (localhost vs 0.0.0.0) Interface 3 themes: Dark, Light, Midnight (bat/vampire aesthetic) Real-time speed graph Detailed panel with tabs: General, Peers, Files, Trackers Filter bar: search by name, filter by state (Active, Downloading, Seeding, Paused, Finished) Drag & drop .torrent files and magnet links Drag & drop reorder in torrent list System tray with notifications (download complete, kill switch events, RSS auto-downloads) Splash screen with bat animation Bilingual: English and Portuguese (BR), auto-detected from system locale Bandwidth Scheduler Alternative speed limits — set different download/upload limits on a schedule Time range — configure active hours (e.g. 01:00 to 07:00), supports overnight ranges Per-day control — choose which days of the week the schedule applies Automatically switches between normal and alternative speeds Media Server Integration Plex — automatically trigger library scan when a download completes Jellyfin / Emby — same automatic library refresh via API Configure server URL and authentication token/key in Settings System Cross-platform: Windows, Linux, macOS Auto-shutdown — automatically shut down PC when all downloads complete (60s cancellable countdown) Auto-update system (AppImage on Linux, installer on Windows, DMG on macOS) CLI arguments: pass .torrent files or magnet: URIs directly Keyboard shortcuts: Space to toggle pause, Ctrl+A to select all, Ctrl+O to open BATorrent 3.0.2 changelog: Phone pairing & WebUI The browser WebUI was reskinned to match the desktop app — same dark palette, Inter font, flat surfaces, the real BATorrent logo (it was a random bat before), and a proper magnet icon. It now looks like the same product, not a separate dashboard. Pairing is one tap and zero typing: the generated WebUI password is now copyable, and the QR code carries the credentials — scanning it from your phone logs straight in (no typing the IP or password), then drops the credentials from the address bar. Search Two new providers: RuTor (CIS sources, no login, via a public TorAPI relay) and Torrents-CSV. Results are sorted by seeders (healthiest first), and each search now times out after 15 s so one dead provider can't hang the UI. Files & trackers Per-file priority is back: right-click a file in the detail panel to set Skip / Low / Normal / High. Rename an individual file inside a torrent (double-click or the file menu), separate from renaming the torrent. Remove a tracker from a torrent (the ✕ on a tracker row); adding was already there. Smart Paste on Ctrl+V — paste a magnet, a 40-char info-hash, or a .torrent URL straight from the clipboard and it's added immediately (text fields still paste text normally). Covers & titles Anime fansub naming ([Group] Title - NN) now resolves to the right show. Audio channel layouts in titles (DDP5.1, 7.1, …) are stripped so they don't pollute cover matching. Under the hood The legacy QWidget interface is gone. QML had been the only UI since 3.0.0 (reachable old code lived behind a hidden --legacy flag); with parity confirmed, the entire QWidget layer — main window, every dialog, the theme manager — was removed (~13,400 lines). The four restored actions above were features that backend already supported but the QML port had never wired. macOS: the WebUI password hash moved out of the keychain into app settings, so launching the app no longer pops a login-keychain password prompt on unsigned builds. The actual password still lives in the keychain. Cleanup: ~400 orphaned translation strings and a batch of dead code removed; internal duplication collapsed; an ARCHITECTURE.md added for contributors. Unit / security / memory tests and the ASan/UBSan/TSan sanitizers stay green.

    • How about a global switch to turn the awful things off instead of a registry hack? Then everyone wins.
    • This doesn't strike me as so shocking when... " IT admins do have some control over this rollout. If they choose to opt out, devices in their tenant won't automatically get the dreaded Copilot app"
