Ep. 3 of Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu is awesome!!

Anyhow, it seems like they're jumping to the third novel in the next episode as the title is changed to Suzumiya Haruhi no Taikutsu.

[EveryFlowerFlow]

School Rumble is hilarious.


The over-dramatised Gun-fu episode had me rolling

[WasFemto]

I'm in Seattle for the rest of this week.

Picked up some manga


Vagabond vol.4 (had the other three when they first came out so I'm a little behind...lol)

King of Wolves better than Japan but the ending pissed me off

Lady Snowblood vol.1 good shit :rock:

Goglo 13 vol.2 :rock:

Peep the lates issue of Ruronin Kenshin and am for sure picking this up. I saw on pic(won't say what it is but for those keeping up you can probably take a guess) and was like WHOA!

[WasFemto]

Media Blasters has picked up the tv series of GaoGaiGar :rock:

[ShadowHawkv2]

just started watching Eureka Seven anybody know what episode its up 2 right now? I know there are 50 eps but i can only find up to episode 15 right now on youtube.

[Gasaraki]

Eureka Seven is translated up to episode 35, you can get the torrents on Nanashi's homepage.

[ReggieHadoken]

Read Kenshin vol. 25 a few weeks ago. Man, I am loving what Watsuki-San has done with Yahiko. He's practically been the main star of books 24-15. His fight with Kujirinami was freaking dope. He successfully did Kenshin's Ryushosen. If he can do the Nine-Headed Dragon Strike, that will make me shiver. I really hope Yahiko no Sakabato gets brought to the states.

As of Naruto vol. 9, I'm am so loving this manga even more than when I started reading it back in 2003. Naruto's fight with Kiba was boss. And I'm really wanting Naruto to hook up with Hinata. Screw Sakura. She's a whinney little broad who has a crush on some dude that isn't even interested in romance. Maybe now Naruto will realize that Hinata has a crush on him. But then I've only read books 1-9 and they are on like, what book 20 in Japan? Well thanks to some awesome AMVs, I already know that Naruto fights Neji and wins and that he has a colossal battle against Garaa. Ooooooooo, I can't wait to see/read about those.

[Gasaraki]

They're past 32 in Japan, but I'm going to warn you it starts dropping off pretty severely around volume 29-30. And it doesn't look like Naruto is EVER going to notice Hinata :annoy:

Are you freaking kidding me? 30+ books and Naruto STILL doesn't know Hinata has the hots for him? I read a while back that he and Sakura may hook up. Please tell me I read wrong. Also, does the story skip ahead a few years or does Naruto and co just remain 12-13 through the the story thus far?

Speaking of Naruto, I'm very impressed with the anime dub. I know sub fans would probably bite my head off for saying so, but the dub of Naruto is, IMO one of the best dubs out there. I finally have a voice to go with Naruto when I'm reading his lines in the manga. Sasuke, Iruka, Lee, Kakashi, Hokage, Neij; they all sound great.

[PsychoSquall]

Anyone seen that new Witchblade anime? I didn't see it mentioned here, but I could have missed it.

I watched the first episode, but wasn't impressed by it so ended up dropping it right away. They billed it as a Gonzo production, but it became quite apparent that it is one of their low budget shows. I sort of liked the character designs but for me that was about it.

[GreyFoxx]

yeah, he still hasn't really got it =/

As for Naruto and Sakura, it's hinting that it'll happen, and it's pretty obvious by now, but nothing concrete exactly.

Time skip is about 2 and 1/2 years ahead and happens around volume 29-30 I believe? I don't rmemeber the actualy volume numbers.

[Hoonyo]

the prince of tennis ovas... how often will they be released? i see there are 7 volumes, but are there multiple episodes per volume or are they like 40 min each

[shinobi00]

Kiddy grade was decent. It should have ended with episode 14 though. Yeah there was alot more story to cover, but to end the show on that high note would have been nice. I also didn't like any of the characters really, except for Eclair. Story was ok, but some 50 year old trying to get attention from mommy was pretty laughable.

Since i'm on a sci-fi high right now, i'll think I'll watch gundam seed. Any other recent(2-3 years) futuristic sci-fi action shows out there. not the obvious like GITS or Gundam, something not well known like Texnolyze, or ES planet.

GITS (SAC, I presume?) is obvious but one of the best ever TV anime series in recent years. I definitely wouldn't compare it next to any Gundam series if I were you.

Actually, it's kinda weird since I can't recall many stuff off my head that I would call action and sci-fi with high praise in the past couple of years. And when you say "sci-fi", are you referring to stories set in futuristic environment? Or are you referring to speculative fiction? (which is what real science fiction is, IMO) There are many of the former, but I personally can hardly recall few that would match the latter.

I would actually push Stand Alone Complex (both seasons) as a top candidate representing both, but since you seem so resistant to that I dunno what to say. Action shows set in futuristic settings? Hmm... maybe Samurai Seven or Bakuretsu Tenshi? (although I personally don't think neither is too spectacular)

Elfen Lied and Gunslinger Girl are both what I consider as speculative fiction, but they're both set in the very near future so they might not be what you're looking for.

And Ergo Proxy is good, if you won't mind something that is still currently airing. You could probably find the subs for first 7 or 8 eps. done by bunch of different peeps.

[Gasaraki]

Eureka Seven too, that's sci-fi, what with the other worldly setting and all. Also a great anime in general =)

As for GITS being better than Gundam, I'm going to assume you're leaving out the good gundam shows like the original, Zeta, Turn A, etc.

[shinobi00]

GITS (SAC, I presume?) is obvious but one of the best ever TV anime series in recent years. I definitely wouldn't compare it next to any Gundam series if I were you.


Yeah GITS is one of my favs, I meant nothing too obvious because, i've probably already heard of it already. like cowboy bebop, trigun, gundam etc.

both, but more futuristic. I wasn't really clear sorry about that. So yeah moreso in a futuristic setting.

Eureka Seven too, that's sci-fi, what with the other worldly setting and all. Also a great anime in general =)

yeah i'm currently watching e7 on adult swim. As soon as their is some kind of delay in the episodes though, I'll probably get it from somewhere else. I haven't watched an anime in English in a while, and the voice acting dosen't seem bad. guarenteed i'll probably be annoyed after a couple of episodes.

Also, a futuristic/action/mystery like snatcher/shadowrun/rise of the dragon would be cool, but I haven't heard of anything like that. Just read a little bit about ergo proxy, and it seems it's like this a little bit(at least the mystery part).

Thanks for the suggestions as usual.

[Gasaraki]

Oh yeah, If you haven't seen Heatguy J yet, that's another good one. It's been out for a year or so already.

Noein is another good one, this one is still really new as well.

[Mr. Bastos]

Ok I've watched Suzumiya and I like it :tup: , but could some1 explain the 4th episode? I was just wondering what they were talking about when they talked about "closed space", or what they were referring to when they mention an incident in "the other world", and when the fuck did the second dude join? I dunno i just finished watching the first 3 last night and today I got the 4th and I figured I missed something so hopefully you guys can help me out.

Ok, basically, in the next-episode previews, listen to Kyon's numbering for airdate order and Haruhi's numbering for chronological order.

[Airdate Order] - [Chrono Order]
Episode 1 - Episode ?? (future events)
Episode 2 - Episode 1
Episode 3 - Episode 2
Episode 4 - Episode 7
Episode 5 - Episode 3

You didn't miss stuff; they just skipped ahead a bit, immediately followed next week by skipping back to where they left off. This is to confuse you, make you ponder deeply, and/or make you run out and purchase the novels(if you happen to live in Japan where the novels are sold).

[Master Chibi]

They skipped ahead in terms of the volumes they took the plot from I believe. Something like that.

With that being said, this odd little 'save the world', 'closed space', 'yuki magic' spin that came out of nowhere is fucking awesome. It's just the perfect TOUCH that the show didn't even really need, but already adds more to the show immensely.

That, and I'm 100% in love with the girl with long green hair who has that little 'fang' thing going. 400% even.

<3

[orka]

This seems to be the progression so far:

Episode 1 = 0 (didn't really count)
Episode 2 = 1st chapter of the first volume of the novel
Episode 3 = 2nd chapter of the first volume of the novel
Episode 4 = 7th chapter of the third volume of the novel
Episode 5 = 3rd chapter of the first volume of the novel

I'd read more of the novel (I'm still stuck on first), but school is just too busy for me right now.

EDIT: Orr... it could just be what DannyCat already said. But I do know fourth episode is supposed to represent the third novel.

[shinobi00]

Saw the first ep of ergo proxy and it seems intresting so far. it reminds me alot of snatcher/gits and thats a really good thing. The production values on this show look seriously high, so i'll probably buy the DVD when it comes out here wether I end up liking the series or not. Plus since it's geneon i won't have to worry about annoying voice acting.

I might end up waiting until the series is complete though, because i usually like watching a series when it is totally complete so i could just watch it all the way through. I watch alot of shows, and it's hard to try and keep up with them all. I just dropped house because of this. Plus NBA playoffs are on, shit.

Btw, did anyone here not like Gundam seed destiny? I really haven't seen a gundam show since gundam wing like 8 years ago, and i didn't think it was too special. is it worth watching? I've heard it's the best gundam series to date. I feel like I've heard the ED song from somewhere else. It might have been another anime or a combovid or something

edit: lol, it looks like i just totally missed gundam seed before getting destiny, whoops.

And I've always heard good things about Prince of Tennis but never bothered to try and watch it since I 'd never have the time to catch up with it, plus I was too lazy to try and download it all.

@ shinobi:

The manga adaptation is currently being serialized on Shonen Ace, and one volume has been released. It is supposedly pretty bad from what I have heard around the web, though. I was gonna buy it on JP Amazon but after I saw the cover art, I was like "uh... okay" and the reviews indicated that the manga is far inferior to the novel, both in story construction and art.

One of the big catches for Suzumiya Haruhi series is the character designs and artwork by Noizi Itoh (who did the design for anime as well), so novel seems to be the only way to go anyway. I still dun know if I like the novel enough to buy it, though. This is only the third series of light novels I've read aside from R.O.D and Vampire Wars so I still need to get further in the story to decide.

[Master Chibi]

So I'm better off just sticking to the anime?

Also, ORKA, would you be interested in joining me if I made an anime blog? I plan on creating one soon :D!

They would probably edit all the funny parts like when they drew "Takamura was here" on Ippo's penis

But regardless of that Hajime no Ippo was a really good series would probably make a good addition to mainstream anime for the more hardcore american fans that are now getting into it.

I agree with the rest that GSD was total crap, no one likes Shinn no one likes Stella and Luna well man she changed her mind easy in the mist of war.

I recently watched Zeta and I was really impressed on how good it was but I started watching Double Zeta and it felt like it was some kind of sick parody of some sort...I mean seeing as it basically continues the story from Zeta ,the lack of seriousness in the anime upsets me alot.
I'm hoping it picks up soon.

A few titles I have been watching recently have been Blood+ , Noien and the New School Rumble.

[tempest]

cn passed over ippo already,but that doesn't mean anything scryed was passed more then once ,but in the end was put on cn.

[shinobi00]

Wow mad GSD hate. Seeing as how i meant to download the original anyways, thats ok. Too bad they had to waste a good ED theme on a show like that.

Question about Noein. It read the description on ANN and it seems like another random teen saves the world from an apocalyptic fate. Is that the way it is? If so, I'll probably wait for a US release because i just saw and/or currently watching last exile, Now and then, here and there, and eureka 7. Or at least wait a couple of months before i get this out of my system. And kids annoy me. Since the series completed last month I bet a torrent with all of the eps is going up in a few anyway. In a couple of months it'll probably have more peers.

Yeah, they'd probably cut out all the cock jokes in Ippo(Big Maru Ippo! :rofl: ). hmm, that makes me wonder how they handled it on the dubbed dvd versions. I wanna buy one now just to see what they did and to see how good/bad the dub is.

And the guys subbing Eyeshield 21 are either slow or lazy. I swear they skip a few weeks then just drop a bunch of episodes at once. I hate the wait. I'm also watching Slam Dunk (I've had this for a while just never got around to watching it), Yakitate Japan (I have up to 57 on this but only watched like 20 so far), I also need to finish Wild Striker and Monster(I have like 10 left episodes to watch with each one). Then I'm getting Suzumiya as it comes out which is pretty cool.

Man, this haruhi crap is totally not that amusing, yet I keep watching.

[ReggieHadoken]

So if Naruto and Saruka possibly hook up (ugh), I assuming, she finally realized chasing after Sasuke was totally worthless. Well good for her, but I'd still rather see a Naruto-Hinata hoop up. BTW, what does Naruto and Hinta look like after the time jump?

Eureka Seven is freaking tight. I've yet to miss an ep since [as] started airing it.

I read some Hajime no Ippo manga on my computer months ago. It was enjoyable but reading manga online just isn't the same as having a graphic novel in your hands. Maybe it's because that's how I started reading manga. I'm usually an impatient person, but I'd rather wait and read manga in books than on my comp. But that's just me.

InuYasha has bounced back from it's suckitude. Now that all those crappy filler eps appear to be overwith, I find myself actually wanting to watch it again. The lst ep is ep 167. I lost track of what number the show is currently on on [as], but I think they should just finish the show this year if they have the eps all the way to 167.

[Hokuto no Jeffro]

I actually really hated Gundam Seed. I can't remember what it was called, but the one series where there was a fighting tournament, that was the Gundam I liked. But Seed, that shit had too much googly eyes and homosexual connotations for me. The only good part was when the main char offed that little blond kid.

It's also noteworthy that IFC is showing Samurai 7 now. I've been watching, and it looks pretty interesting, and the praise it's got alone will hook me for the whole show.

[Dasrik]

I can't remember what it was called, but the one series where there was a fighting tournament, that was the Gundam I liked.
Why is it trendy to like the worst Gundam series these days? G Gundam is fucking awful.

[WasFemto]

I STILL haven't seen ANY Gundam series.


Xabungle and Space Runaway Ideon ftw!

[orka]

Like Gasaraki already said earlier, Zeta was the last good Gundam series. All Gundam in the 90's was either mediocre or awful with the exception of 0083 in my opinion, and all this SEED crap just sucks.

I haven't gotten past episode 6 in Turn A but that's just cus Ridley Scott's mech designs are so repulsively ugly. Yea, I'm sure most people have not even heard of the series but that's basically why... the whole "ugliness" of the show. I have heard people say it is one of the better Gundam stories overall, though.

Gundam series in general should've just died a long time ago, though. The only reason that shit still exists is for Bandai and Sunrise to sell dorks more plamos. YES. PLAMOS. That is the only reason Gundam is still alive.

During the past few weeks, I was in an anime slump. Just yesterday, I've finally sat down and picked up where I left off with The Law of Ueki. I just finished episode 27. Seems as though I've been putting the series off for quite some time.

Huh? real names? you mean the character names? Voice actors? http://www.animenfo.com/animetitle,1346,gjauhe,monster.html

And about gundam, I've never seen a Gundam series in full and i'm not really totally digging seed right now. It had a couple of plot twists that have kept me intrested a couple of times and kept the plot from being too predictable and or stupid. but overall the storyline isn't there, and there have already been a couple of really crappy episodes. Oh yeah, That chick with the red hair is just stupidly annoying. besides her there aren't any annoying characters yet, but i seriously think that list will grow ten fold.

[marn]

no.. when tenma was like, 'your mom told me your real names...' he never said it1 what are johan's and anna's real names?!

no.. when tenma was like, 'your mom told me your real names...' he never said it1 what are johan's and anna's real names?!

Another thing about the ending of monster, I thought it was hillarious that they put a psychotic killer in a room with an opened window, nice work whores.

And another thing about gundam seed. The singer chick is an ok character but why do they have to play her fucking song 9000 times. Annoying.

Readin Ippo this Sawamura/Mashiba fight is too sick. I already know how it's going to end but still. They need to work on OVAs for this series. It's a fucking shame to TVs and DVD players that there isn't more Ippo.

I'll Go.

Wataru was your typical fifth-grader, until one day, his typical life came crumbling down all around him. His father left, never to return. His mother, overcome with shock, attempted suiside. Alone in the room stinking of gas, Wataru had only one though: "There's something terribly wrong with my life!" There was ony one option - Wataru had to change his fate. His ind a blank, Wataru recalled something the new kid, Mitsuru, had said. "There's a door at the top of the stairs in the haunted building that can change you fate. but what lies beyond that door isn't something a nice kid like you can handle. "Still," Wataru thought to himseld."I'll go." the door loomed up front of Wataru as he ran into the building.

A Fantasy world of swords and magic awaited Wataru beyond the door. And thus begins the adventure of Wataru the "apprentice Warrior" with a total score of 35 points!


It looks cool to me, I only hope its as good as it looks. oh and its "based on a novel by the rather grim Miyuki Miyabe"

Gonzo better not fuck up with Brave Story because Gin-iro no Kami no Agito already bombed in the theaters earlier this year.

[G.O.T]

hey everybody wats the name of that anime with the three ex criminals with collars around their necks, and if they dont do what their told the collars will explode. i want it on torrent if i could only remember the name.

[valaris]

I need help. I'm looking for any torrent or download site to get episodes of Anime Sanjushi. A friend of mine couldn't find anything so I decided to look for it myself, but with very little success so far. In english it was something like "the three musketeers". This shit is very old btw.

Thank you.

Did anyone else scratch their head and then end up loving ep 5 of Harahui?

I did. I think alot of people will look at it negatively, but I'm certainly enjoying it.

The name of the anime is Cyber City Oedo 808.

[Dasrik]

Well, the current anime I'm into in a big way is... Konjiki no Gash Bell!! (gasp)...

I think the English version (Zatch Bell!) is okay too, except the VA for Sherie is horrible.

[WasFemto]

Well if anyone cares(other than us posting in the FD) Heart of Madness is hosting dirct dl of FotN on their website. The have eps 1-7 then it skips to like 44-88.


Hajime no Ippo Ch. 682 is out by Ignition One

[Gasaraki]

MC, yeah, Ep 5 of Haruhi was seriously WTF. I'm loving it because of that though. It just feels so far out there, yet Kyon still feels like a normal person so it's kinda intresting, and often funny, to see his reactions to these totally surreal situations.

[WasFemto]

HnI ch.683 is out. Catch it while it's hot...

[tempest]

o nvm then. my bad. i just did some searching, and there are 10 volumes total. last one came out in 1998. surprisingly shorter than what i was expecting...

Wellman, first vol. of Eureka Seven region 1 DVD is already out.

Second vol. of Karas DVD is scheduled for September.


umm there no release date set for karas vol2

[WasFemto]

Geneon has Ghost Talkers Daydream coming out...forgot...but didn't even know there was an anime for it yet...


Manga sub-licensed Tokko as well.

The cover art for Speed Grapher LE can be viewed at animeondvd

[Ryu & Ken]

someone please tell me where I can get these eps 25-35 of virtua fighter anime from


In English or even subbed

If you have seen the series I haave a vhs boxset where the last fight I see, is Akira fight Dural in a building and it blows up on epsoide 24.

If you look at this website and look at ending theme 3, you see eps 25-35 but they dont tell you where I can get it

[maxx]

anyone been watching the air gear anime. i just found out it's been out for a bit..i expected it to have more of a hip-hop feel.

lol

and i guess the birds signify pervertedness instead of the usual bloody nose.

[Warpticon]

Did anyone else scratch their head and then end up loving ep 5 of Harahui?

I did. I think alot of people will look at it negatively, but I'm certainly enjoying it.

<3

scratching my head at ep FIVE? ep FOUR didn't make any sense becuase ep five happened before it.

I was debating before, but I think I'm gonna stick with the show now.

[Master Chibi]

Ok episode six of Harahui is even more WTF.

IN OTHER NEWS, I FINALLY DOWNLOADED THE FIRST THIRTEEN EPISODES OF EUREKA 7 AND HAVE PROMPTLY FALLEN IN LOVE WITH IT.

<3

[orochizoolander]

Do they have megaman anime dvds? n if so where online cud i get'em?

What are the "must have" old-school animes u guys have? For example beserk or golden blue etc. cuz i don't own that much of the older stuff so suggestions would b nice.

[orka]

nausicaa

[WasFemto]

Just about anything Ghibli, Giant Robo, Megazone23, Black Heaven, Golden Boy, Maisson Ikkoku, Space Runaway Ideon, Galaxy Express 999, Fist of the North Star, Captain Harlock tv, Lupin III (first television series), Aoki Dentsu SHOOT!(I think that's the right title)...list goes on and on.

Been reading Steel Ball Run and I'm really digging it so far. I think I'm gonna go as Gyro Zeppeli for Halloween this year. I love this man.:lovin: I'll probably be picking up JoJo's Bizzare Adventure as well. I just wish VIZ would give us the color pages, but oh well.

[Hunter D]

genesis climber moespada, Gundam, macross, 3x3 eyes.

[tempest]

what no nadia or escflowne ..... in anybody list

[WasFemto]

It's not really a list more just suggestions. I thought Escaflowne was pretty good.

[BIG BEEF!]

I didn't relley bother to read the last 2 pages so cut me some slack. Well for the past 6 weeks I have been watching School Rumble 2nd Term first 6 eps. I got hooked on this show after eps1 I highly reccomend this show to all of you.

[tempest]

It's not really a list more just suggestions. I thought Escaflowne was pretty good.

Well read the 700th chapter of Ippo last night and DAMN, does the ending hit you.

Caught up to Steel Ball Run. I love this too much. Mrs. Robinson:lovin:

I swear the Japanese have the best character designs in their comics more than anything. Everytime I see something nuts, I'm always like "Holy shit this is how I would do it" or "I never thought of that, that is the sickest".

[GreyFoxx]

Berserk Manga ownz my A$$$

[Warpticon]

Legend of the Galactic Heroes nuff said

I want to hug you. LOGH is the awesomest awesome that ever awesomed.

My anime top 10, in no particular order:

Berserk
Shamanic Princess
Now & Then, Here & There
Boogiepop Phantom
His & Her Circumstances
Legend of the Galactic Heroes
School Rumble (yes, this is so out of place on the list, but I cannot articulate how much I adore this show, especially now)
Beck (but fuck that last episode)
Rurouni Kenshin
Samurai Champloo/Cowboy Bebop (which are really just flip sides of the same coin. I think Bebop was better, but Champloo managed to integrate hiphop so beautifully I can't put it below).

In other news, Nana is absolutely rocking my world right now. But fuck some episode 6.

[Hoonyo]

i just watched the first minute and a half of the first episode of Noein. wow. has anyone else seen this anime?

[WasFemto]

About chapter 232 in Gantz. :wow:

Oh yeah. If for some chance SaiST(sp?) is reading this, can you add chapter 215 and 216 for Steel Ball Run? I tried grabbing them off the torrent at Ignition-One but it was a no go.

[Holy Knight]

School Rumble 2 has me hooked and lol @ Karin ending. As if her bewbs weren't big enough, they also bring in the tentecles for added fanservice.

[WasFemto]

Well, just read ch.707 of Ippo. This could be the manga-ka's way of saying he doesn't know how to do the Ippo vs Miyata fight. But what the fuck do I know...

Read the first four chapters of Major so far. Sucks for me that I don't know how to use IRC otherwise I would be caught up instead of waiting for Tazmo to catch up...

DLing TOUCH since I was really digging Hiatari Ryouhou and have heard nothing but good things about this series.

RightStuf is having a 40-33% off sale on ADV products. Still need to pick up Mospeada and vol.3-6 of Azumanga Daioh....

Eureka Seven is the truth. I'm watching it on Adult Swim, but I was seriously considering just DLing the series to get my fix.

[WasFemto]

ya know i so wish and pray that animeigo license touch.


How close does the anime follow the manga? I figure with 101 eps. and 4 movies it does a pretty good job.

Just finished reading the vol.1

Good shit :tup:

Evangelion 10th Anniversary (03:26 PM EDT): Anyone proclaiming shock at seeing a 10th anniversary release of Neon Genesis Evangelion basically needs to be punted into orbit, but the info is starting to tentatively come out via Diamon Previews where we're told about a deluxe case and a "plethora of commemorative items" will fill up this new $250 box set.

news from animeondvd.com.


I guess I'll be holding off on picking up the Platinum release.

[catchafire]

Any list that has Naruto as "top" anime gets discredited a little bit in my eyes...

[WasFemto]

He's got Golgo 13 on the list. Surprising since it seems alot of people are like "GOGO what. Oh yeah...that's one of the sickest mecha series out there..."

Manga renewed their license for the movies. Apparently one of the specials is supposed to be a jacket.

I was reading in the thread at animondvd that there were STILL some extras left out from the Renewal set, but they weren't anything major.

yea i know there no way thata adv has the movies was just saying that be the only way i'll rebuy iy ,but for jacket and for couple extras aren't going grab me. and ya know when blu rey starts take off adv release eva on there.kinda wish adv hold off and license couple shows but oh well.

oh i saw the designs for speedgrapher, and basilks artboxs they look very good,but not has nice has samurai 7 box ..just dang oh the design.

[AlphaDragoon02]

Did I just see "Ninja Gaiden OAV" on one of those lists? As in Ninja Gaiden the video game?! Because if so...then that is made of win and badass.

And anyone watching Naruto at this point should save themselves a ton of disk space and crappy filler by simply reading the manga version. Manga FTW.

[shinobi00]

I thought it was an anime about an assasin? I also heard it was pretty shitty. Are you kidding?

[GreyFoxx]

Rewatching Gundam Wing again so i can relive the old-school Toonami feeling again. Have to catch up on berserk manga and get my newest Hyper Police manga. And smack somebody so i can get my Ippo anime off of them!!!

[HeaT]

anyone know what happened to that thread that S.A.G.A. made about the manga Gantz???

it had nice links to direct downloads where you did not need to go through torrents...

or if anyone has link like those hook it up...

im outi

[WasFemto]

I thought it was an anime about an assasin? I also heard it was pretty shitty. Are you kidding?


Not me but if you bring it up to anime fans trying to be hardcore that's the response I've gotten on a few occasions. I've seen one of the anime but I dug it. I tend to dig the old-school stuff more than anything. The manga is pretty cool, if cliched.

I hope (and think) that blu-ray and hd-dvd bomb. Yes I would like anime to look even that much better, but then those will be outdated and a new "format war" would happen....

I do like that BR can hold more but still...

Not alot does beat the Samurai 7 box in terms of look. I recently saw an episode (forgot the channel) but wasn't feeling it all. Maybe I need to see more Samurai anime but for me it's all about the Kenshin OVAs, The Hakkenden, and Samurai Champloo....unless Vagabond was turned into an anime but I doubt it could even come close to the quality of the manga.

Speed Grapher drops on July 4th for those who don't know.

[SirSmooth]

ya, so uh.....i just spent a whole 2 days downloading a 25 episode pack of HxH cuzi keep hearing out how good it is....and then i start up an episode and the shit looks like it was made in the 80's or something....is this some kind of joke?? like when i was tricked into downloading and watching the first 10 episodes of one piece??!!!?!!! what a horrible, horrible anime....is this shit HxH really good?? how many episodes will i have to devote myself to, to see some good shit....

[Master Chibi]

I watched the first 5 episodes of Princess Nine (SHOOT ME) but I love it, I totally do.

The music is absurdly good for such a series, epic and all that, I really like it.

Yeah... and isn't it actually called "the professional"??

I must resist the overwhelming urge to mention any mecha series... I'm so old....

On episode 46 of bleach right now... too good...

Ok... one mecha anime then... and I wont throw an old rare one at ya'... Gundam Seed... heartwrenching...

Well the newer one queen bee. Yeah I thought the older one was pretty good, but the I've heard nothing but bad things about the newer one. I guess you can't judge things that you haven't seen, but It got some pretty terrible reviews.

i saw the Air movie recently. i don't know why but it was just sitting on my hard drive for months so i decided t watch it. I seriously don't reccomend anyone watching anything air, it's just pure trash.

I finished seed and overall the series was pretty good. There was just too much stupid shit in it to put it up there with the better animes released recently(which alot of people seem to think). maybe it was just too long or something, but some episodes were just boring and almost unwatchable. Seems like it would have been alot better if it was shorter. I thought full metal panic was a little better.

I've been watching gravitation on demand and it seems good so far. its pretty funny and worth watching if your into to comedies. If you aren't comfortable with your sexuality though, i really don't reccomend it.

It's not my top 25 EVER, just for the past three years.

Second raid is pretty high though. I liked it alot, but I don't know about that much.

[Zor]

The Professional: Golgo 13. Wow, that brings back memories. That was one of the first anime I ever watched. It was good if I remember correctly. I should buy it. I still like the old stuff.

[Rodimus]

Watching a Airgear seems ok--should i just read the manga?

[shinobi00]

Air and Airgear are two different things. Anyways, If you find something enjoyable don't pay attention to what people say here.

[Master Chibi]

Holy mother FUCK I love Eureka 7.

I finished watching the first twenty six episodes.

God damn I love it.

[valaris]

I'm currently getting all of Trinity Blood. I heard really good stuff about it so I can't wait. Any comments on it?

[catchafire]

I'm DL'ing Galactic Superstar Heroes (sp?) What should I expect?

[catchafire]

Great, the Legend of Galactic Heroes that i've been dl'ing from tspy doesn't have any subtitles!!! WTF... So, enough of that series... Next.

[Rodimus]

Valaris:

Trinity Blood is great, a lil short but it's good..my advice stop now...lol because when you get to the last episode you're gonna want more of it.

Also if you can find the Ost, the music is very good also.

I'm downloading the whole thing in one file. Now I can't wait :D

[Hoonyo]

ya, so uh.....i just spent a whole 2 days downloading a 25 episode pack of HxH cuzi keep hearing out how good it is....and then i start up an episode and the shit looks like it was made in the 80's or something....is this some kind of joke?? like when i was tricked into downloading and watching the first 10 episodes of one piece??!!!?!!! what a horrible, horrible anime....is this shit HxH really good?? how many episodes will i have to devote myself to, to see some good shit....it was made in the late 90s before they started using digital animation stuff. when you watch ep 10 or something you think to yourself "oh good the animation is gonna get better" but it doesnt lol. i coaxed my friend into watching hxh, and he was kind of like you too. when it finally got the the good part, he was like "damn i shoulda just skipped first 20 episodes" or something like that. when i watched it from beginning to around the end of the hunter exams, it makes a huge jump from "so-so" to "holy shit this is gonna be good"

[Hellion]

Any Battle Angel fans here? Was wondering where I could find any news what-so-ever on the new flick James Cameron is working on. He's got secrecy wrapped around it so tight I haven't been able to find jack on it edgewise.

Doin some searching for pics and found this
http://www.animegalleries.net/img/11592

Who the fuck is this? I don't remember this character from the original manga, the brief anime series, nor the Last Order run.
Maybe it's that spin-off Ashen Victory iirc the name?

[ReggieHadoken]

Eureka Seven continues to own. Just saw ep 6 last night on [as]. Man, I can't wait to see more.

I'm watching Trigun for the umpteenth time. Great anime. But man, was Rem Severem annoying. Yeah, I know Vash learned a lot from her, but good freaking grief, she was too perky for her own good. "Vash & Knives may guide us to our dreams!" Gah. Anyway, I need to get caught up on the Trigun Maximum manga. I've only for vol. 1 and they are on vol. 8 now.

I"s is one of the best romantic comedies I've ever read. It uses a lot of cliches but I still enjoying read it. The artist can draw girls very well. Wish I could find vol. 7 but my book store doesn't have it yet.

Anyone know what book they're on of Hunter X Hunter in Japan? I think we're up to book 8 here in America. This series could be longer than Yu Yu Hakusho. But then, I don't know how many books that series was.

[Master Chibi]

@ Hellion:

Cameron is post poning work on the film as he's currently working on something else that will best use digital screens / theaters when they become 'standards'. The name of the film is 808 or something like that.

Where the hell are you looking?

http://a.scarywater.net/ca/

Expect: politics and strategy that absolutely shames the other shows that claim to have the above. Expect to use a lot of your attention span. A classic look. A lot of main characters dying. An interesting history. More names than you could possibly remember. More death. Oliver Mofucking Poplan. etc.

[catchafire]

Thank you SO much!

Do they update often? There are over 100 eps of this series I think...

[Warpticon]

New episode every 7-10 days. Usually closer to once a week.

[Hunter D]

Thanks warp. I've been looking for the rest of the episodes. LOGH is one of my favorite shows.

[shinobi00]

Everyone just needs to use ISOHUNT. I mean sure theres alot of pop-ups and spyware but it makes it easier to find alot of stuff(except private trackers of course).

[Warpticon]

Hunter, you were probably stuck on ep 40 for years, like I was. It starts to get *really* sick starting around 55.

[Warpticon]

Oh, yeah. What the hell iw with you people? Why are you not watching Nana?

[Gasaraki]

Hooray for more Eureka Seven fans. I finished all 50 eps a few weeks ago, One of my new top 3 fav series, that show is incredibly good. I'm going to be buying the whole series plus soundtracks(which are awesome) for sure.
Air and Airgear are two different things. Anyways, If you find something enjoyable don't pay attention to what people say here.
Airgear has both an anime AND a manga. I'm pretty sure he never meant the AIR anime.

[GreyFoxx]

Is Eureaka 7 that good? Caught a ep of it on CN and looked okay just flying mechs on airboards with a tinge of FLCL animation...or am i missing something big?

[WasFemto]

Vagabond is the sickest manga ever. I don't know why I stopped keeping up with it after 3 volumes. Part of it was price, but it's so damn worth it. EVERYTHING is so top notch.


*wishes Otsu existed in rl*:lovin: :lovin: :lovin:

The first couple episodes of Eureka Seven are very stereo-typical mecha style, but it gets very intresting after that. It's much more story and character driven than it first lets on. The action is almost just a bonus considering how awesome the rest of the show is. Stick with it, it's worth it

Yeah, Vagabond is a fuckin sweet manga. Only prob is the author has taken a long break with the excuse of wanting to make sure he can continue the story while respecting it's source. In case you didn't know, the manga is based off a fictional book about Miyamoto Musashi.

Yeah. I've been thinking about checkin out the book. It's been translated in english, no?

The movies were sick as well. Caught'em on IFC a year or two back and was really sucked into them. Been thinking about picking those up as well.

[Gasaraki]

It's not even completed yet. There's basically nothing solid on it at all.

[BEWD]

Damn, waiting on Berserk ep. 274, anyone know when that'll be out?(Was hoping to see a Raw, but don't know when 273 came)

[Gasaraki]

well, if you look at Chapter 273, the last page says the next chapter is coming May 26th.

[Wellman]

Is the complete series of Crest of the Stars worth $30?

[Zor]

Is the complete series of Crest of the Stars worth $30?

Yes, definitely.

[BEWD]

YEESS, thanks Gasa, I can't believe I overlooked that. now I'm more anxious, and Zor, that Femto av is badass :tup:

[Master Chibi]

God motherfuck damn I fucking love E7 more than any fucking show I've ever watched. Un fucking beliveable.

Episode 35 and counting.

[Hokuto no Jeffro]

I just started reading GITS, and I am very suprised. The ice-cold badass Major from SAC inspired me to finally get the series, and now I'm introduced to a whole new Major. This Major seems to be much more tomboyish, which is refreshing, but not as good as SAC Major. And that scene on the boat.....:wow: :sweat:
Ahem....

PS: Togusa needs some more respect.

[Gasaraki]

God motherfuck damn I fucking love E7 more than any fucking show I've ever watched. Un fucking beliveable.

Yes, RentonxEureka for life.

[hubcapsignstop]

where can i get these eps or are they even available to the public
i think i remember the site saying the plans in US were to air on Spike TV channel

[WasFemto]

Just ordered volumes 5-16 of Vagabond at www.justmanga.com . Just finished reading volume 10 online. This shit is too beastly.

Watched the first episode of Haruhi...three times now. The intro song to their project is GOD TIER! "When can I become an adult?" :rofl:

DLing eps.2 and 3. Shit is too hilarious.

[Master Chibi]

It gets weird, but it's still good.

[Zor]

Anyone have a release date one the second volume of the new Tenchi series?

Edit: Nevermind I found it. Its 9.12.

[Anime12478]

One anime that I would love to see is Musashi no Ken. It's one of those animes/mangas that is required reading/watching for those that take Kendo or any sword art. The problem is that it is nearly impossible to find online and if I want to purchase the Anime, then I would have to fork over well over $150 for the series. I have one of the manga yet I can't find any more of them online.

[AlphaDragoon02]

Eureka Seven is so good, it's broken. I've only seen about 3 or 4 episodes and I can already tell that this thing's a cut above.

[Wellman]

Eureka 7 is the best new mecha show I have seen in 2-5 years.

Definately one of the recent greats, possibly coming close to being classic, in the way it makes even the most cliche stuff in the beginning seem interesting. I can't wait for the next volume to come out next month.

[WasFemto]

I was about to dl eps. 1-13 of E7. Decided to give in(along with Haruhi) and give it a shot. Unfortunately it's reeeaaal slow on Morpheus so I canned it in favor of Ring ni Kakero 1...

Like the FLCL art it that I've seen in a few pics. One of the reasons I wasn't big on it at first was because it was yet ANOTHER anime about a 14 year old piloting a mech...I'll take your alls word for it that it kicks ass in the meantime...

[Hunter D]

Quoting Warp because you people need to watch this show.

Just....too.....damn.....many.....

Well, just watched the 5th episode of Haruhi and what can I say....I normally don't care for these types of shows but this one draws me in. I'm hooked. I thought I wouldn't be able to get into any new shit(going for the oldies), but I thought wrong...

Anyone know any good websites to buy BIG external hd's for cheap. I need to store a bunch of manga and anime instead of using cd's.

[Gasaraki]

Anyone watching "Higurashi no naku koro ni"? I just watched the first 2 episodes, this anime is freaky weird. It seems all cute and stuff at first but then it just gets very odd.

JESUS CHRIST!!! They are still going through with that?!

Anyways watched up to the intro(gonna watch 2-3eps before I hit the hay) in Ring ni Kokeru. Seems like a little kids/hardcoreotaku version take on boxing. Post impressions later....

Well, I just watched ep.10 first so I could see the reasons for all the dramatics. If you anyone plans to peep this, don't go expecting HnI. It seems more like a "fun" series. The intro and end themes are pretty good. There's a black boxer named shaft...and that's about it from what I saw. I love sports anime and all but I think I'll only watch this one for the fuck of it...down the road...

Oh yeah and CentralParkMedia just filed for bankruptcy.

There's a black boxer named shaft.

hmm I think I need to check this out, lol.

..well sorta...taken from an excerpt from his blog




Good progress has been on plans for a Vagabond Illustration collection, but due to things like having time to draw them, having it ready for sale this summer will be difficult.
In addition, I have a strong impression of Vagabond as black and white images.
A color illustration collection is good, but I also want to do a black and white one too... which I told everybody about.
And so...! We've decided to make 2 books!
I'll let you know more as progress continues.
Please look forward to it.

Vagabond #23 is on schedule to come out around 6/20.
I've finished everything from the cover to all the material inside.
It's the second volume this year!
Things are going smoothly... Please look forward to this too.




He talks about more things in here, but since Vagabond is the sickest of all sick I thought I would post about that. He talks about vol.36 of REAL and the NBA Playoffs http://www.itplanning.co.jp/finouee.html

[WasFemto]

You all need to peep ch.23 of NHK if you haven't already. :rofl: x0803284032480249238402484. I'm thinking of starting an NHK thread based on this shit alone :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

you can find it here www.voiea.net(Stabby's site currently being run by SaiST)

[WasFemto]

well ordered Vagabond volumes 5-16 from these guys(using the paid shipping method) and it was hella fast. Ordered Thurs. evening and got it(in perfect condition) on Sat. afternoon.

I might just order vol.3 from them since the binding is loose from the one I have that I bought a while ago at Border's.

I'll probably due all my manga shopping there since their prices are cheap and the books were unharmed.

[Gasaraki]

Ergo Proxy ep.9 was great, we finally found out some past to Vincent as well as a bit of info on the Proxies. Good stuff =)

[HeaT]

what is the most current chapter of gantz released??? Thanks!!!

im outi

[Gasaraki]

HeaT: GANTZ 233 is the latest.

Just burned through volumes 5-16 of Vagabond and gotta order the rest.

[ReggieHadoken]

Oh how I love Eureka Seven. It hasn't even gotten to a lot of action sequences but I love it anyway. In ep 7, they so pwned Renten. When I saw that ramen I was thinking "Man, they are so screwing with this poor kid":rofl: Just thinking about it makes me laugh as I type this.

Been a while since I read some manga. Gonna buy DBZ. vol. 26, Kenshin vol. 27 and I"s vol. 7 next week.

[WasFemto]

...by TokyoPop.

I didn't see anything wrong with their GTO release(anyone care to fiil me in?) but I know they screwed some of their other releases(read that Shounan Gumi was pretty messed up by them) so I hold me breath that they don't mess this one up.

[Hoonyo]

Anyone watching Ju Oh Sei? I really love this anime. I've been looking for a good fantasy (or is it sci-fi?) anime for a LONG time. Seems like it'll have a nice mix of both. Also downloaded Utawarerumono and Kiba, but Ju Oh Sei seems so better than the both of them. To be fair, I haven't even watched more than the opening preview to Kiba. I also stopped watching Noein to until I catch up in Ju Oh Sei. Any thoughts on these animes?

I also have a token fun, or lighthearted, anime called Futakoi Alternative. The full series is sitting on my desktop right now, but I don't think I'm going to watch it soon. Any thoughts on this one?

[Hokuto no Jeffro]

I watched E7 and for the most part I was bored. It was this one underage kid walking through a bathouse and staring at middle-age men's asses. All this while being followed by a guy named Moon Baby. WTF? No offense to any fans, and I'm sure there's better parts, but I think I'm going to skip this one.

Well, the first episodes of E7 aren't that great, you have to wait a bit for the story to pick up. It gets much more intresting later. But if you aren't going to watch it, oh well, obviously it ain't for everyone.

[evilmuffinmanX]

so whats the top10 hentai films?

angelblade i reckon is hella good! :nunchuck:

^If we're making requests, I'd also like some recommendations for some good martial arts manga.

PS: Is there anywhere to dd or bt Golgo 13?

[Master Chibi]

I very highly suggest sticking with Eureka 7.

The first handful of episodes are supposed to bore you, they're necessary to set even a small foundation for the characters, their setting, and so on. After that it's all gravy, things just blast through the sky (so to speak) and simply never stop. It's an extremely character driven show, yet it still manages to have a plentiful amount of excellent action, and be able to further the engrossing plot.

Please don't dismiss it and give it another try. You won't regret it, and you'll end up loving Renton, I promise.

On another related note, Bones has to be my favorite animation studio ever. I loved Scrapped Princess plenty, but this just takes the cake, no joke.

@ Gas:

I've got a post 3 times as long as this coming later tonight, so expect it!

:D

BTW, I found out that the "Complete Best" is just all the full version of the OP's and ED's plus the theme "Realize" by FLOW which is for the PS2 game, and "Niji" by Denki Groove which is the song that plays in the very last episode.

at another con geneon said that there working on having fate/stay and ergo proxy out by the end of the year.

[Master Chibi]

So I downloaded all of the OST's for E7 and have promptly fallen head over heels in love with it, threw the entire damn collection onto my PSP. God I love this show so fucking much.

[Chozen1]

shit, is it THAT good? I've honestly given up hope on anime nowadays and with AX coming up i'm sorta not into going again this yr despite being it's 15th anniversary and all (8th yr volunteer) if anything, sdcc is a FOR SURE deal; Much more variety. There just doesn't seem to be any appealing anime nowadays except the ones I have to finish collecting, that's about it.

[Gasaraki]

WOOHOO! premium finally kicked in, now I too can wear this av in it's full glory :lovin:

And yes, Chozen, this series is just that fucking awesome. Well, at least me and MC agree it is.

[Master Chibi]

Well first off, it's Bones, and Bones tends to do things differently.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studio_BONES

Secondly it's NOT your typical 'mecha / millitary ' anime at all. Hell it's not even close to being typical, they fucking SURF in the air.

Third yes, it's that good. Better. Please check it out.

Fourth: GAS, I AM NOT CHANGING THIS AVATAR FOR AT LEAST A YEAR.

Jigoku Shoujo
mushushi
ergopoxy

can't wait see how death note anime going turn out.

like my hime
ganku
ippo.

[Gasaraki]

Tempest, you haven't finished Mushishi yet?

Higurashi is really freaking me out, I don't know if I'll be able to hold on for all 26
