That's Kemonozume. I've talked about it before but no one seemed to care or just shunned it because of the art style. :P It's one of the first series I ever downloaded (like four years ago) but I still haven't watched it. It's by the same guy who directed Mind Game though, so it has to be good.


why chris no comment on gintama anymore :(

Because I'm like five episodes behind. :P Haven't watched any anime in ages. How ironic is it that I go on forever about Gintama starting up again then when it finally does I fall behind in no time. I just haven't been in the mood for anime lately. Once I finished the Nana anime a month or two ago I starting reading the manga, but the ending was so tragic I am now in a recovery period before I immerse myself in the medium once again.

Oh my god, you're an idiot! I believe the 2nd to last one has been one of the funniest so far, and the last one has been just so awesomely serious. ******* catch up now!

Also wii u being released with smash bros. MUST BUY.

[Neversoft]

Actually, you're the idiot. I've read the manga so I already know what happens. :8

Better in animation, and i cant see the comedy working the same in the manga. SO **** YOU.

[Neversoft]

Gintama is the rare case, but 99% of the time manga > anime. Always. SO **** YOU.

The comedy works great in the manga by the way. If it didn't the series wouldn't be 40 volumes long and have the best anime adaptation around. :naughty:

whatever, you're missin out.

Watch Samaurai X still. ep10 quite gd

[Neversoft]

Apparently it gets really boring because Kenshin just takes down all the bad guys in one strike, there's no decent action and the filler ending is absolute crap. You should just watch the OVA - Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal.

I personally watch Bleach religiously, even to this day. I get excited when the manga gets released for it!
I also have watched Death Note, Soul Eater and a few others ;D

[Neversoft]

Watching Gintama again. Well, I watched one episode yesterday. Four Heavenly Kings arc coming up. Probably best I waited for a couple of episodes to come out first, as this arc is frickin' amazing. Marathon time soon, hopefully.

Excellent. And oooooh four heavenly kings eh, sounds good. I actually cant wait for next monday :'( stupid gintama

[Neversoft]

What are you on about 'sounds good'? The arc has already started, you know. Episode 210 to 214. Are you really watching Gintama?

Oh, i thought you were talking about another arc since u were talking in the future tense "coming up", but that makes more sense now.

I gave up with you a long time ago, Neev. If the gifs aren't enough then I don't know what is, but you're seriously missing out on one hell of an experience with the two new Evangelion films. Evangelion 2.22 is BY FAR the best anime film I have ever seen, and that's coming from someone who absolutely adores The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and has met the creators of Sword of the Stranger! Go to any anime website and it'll be in the top three highest rated films. 30,000 people can't be wrong.

You're the same though. COUGH FMA COUGH

[Neversoft]

But I actually gave FMA a go and explained why I didn't want to watch it and why I didn't like it. :S Hell, I have the entire first series downloaded! You just refuse to watch Evangelion for no reason. We're not the same at all.

wat? I watched the entire evangelion, just not the movies. And also explained why i didnt like it.

I GIVE UP!

[Neversoft]

I'm not talking about Neon Genesis Evangelion... I am talking about Rebuild of Evangelion - the reimaginings that were made over a decade after the original series. They're two entirely different entities which I have explain numerous times before.

I can compare it to FMA, actually. Neon Genesis Evangelion is like the original FMA series and the Rebuild of Evangelion films are like FMA: Brotherhood. It's that kind of difference. I've given both FMA series a go and I did actually say I liked Brotherhood by the way.

Lets settle this on Brawl. First to five. If I win you watch the two Evangelion films. If you win I start watching FMA again.

And okay, but two things, i'll have to check if it works yet (and if not then i guess i should probably send it to nintendo or something), and if it does, then will have to be on/after monday. Got an exam i should be revising for :P

~ I'll be ordering the LE BD of 2.22 aswell luckily i have 2 BD players, Big tv and surround sound. Shall be good.

Death Note if you want a series, or if you're a viewer with a more acquired taste then Baccano is another good starting point. It's done in the same nonlinear style as Pulp Fiction. If you would rather start with a film then Spirited Away or Sword of the Stranger, or if you want something more hardcore then Ghost in the Shell.

I also recommended him death note. Excellent.

Death Note is probably by far the best starting point.

Ok, Neem recommends Death Note as well, I'm downloading the series now :D

[Neversoft]

Also no Ghost in the Shell no Matrix... just saying. :8 It really is that groundbreaking a film. Everyone should check it out.

[buttons]

i third death note, if you need romantic comedy i'm your woman

[Neversoft]

Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo are both great follow up series if you enjoy Death Note.

Also, speaking of Death Note...

swearing so watch out little kiddies -_-

Fullmetal alchemist is also great followup


and lirl.

[Neversoft]

I feel Fullmetal Alchemist is too long a series to recommend someone as a starting point or follow up.

I'm considering rewatching either Baccano or Cowboy Bebop. I would watch Death Note again, but it would be my fifth time. :P

I think it was the second one i watched, or somewhere near the start definitely. I dont think it's THAT long, it's no one piece. But definitely samurai champloo

And mmh Baccano, rewatched that far too much as well. And haha i know the feeling, i think i've watched it like 5 times too, as welll as samurai champloo which i wanna watch again but obviously seen it probably more than death note. Might watch trigun again, watched the movie for the 2nd time recently and forgotten how brilliant it is

[Neversoft]

I've only seen Baccano and Champloo twice. Haven't seen Baccano in a looong while though. I totally need reminding how amazing Ladd is. I've only seen Trigun once. :O I've been meaning to get it on DVD for so long so I can watch it again. I even saw it at the Expo but didn't buy it. I want to rewatch Trigun as well. :(

Have you seen Bebop, Neev?

Yer i've seen it, i dont think i really got into it like you and Jon did though. I thought it was okay.

[Neversoft]

First time I saw it I watched up to about episode 12 then left it for MONTHS. I thought it was just okay too, but then I finally watched the rest and was like THIS IS AMAZING. Then I rewatched it and was like YEP THIS IS DEFINITELY AMAZING.

Have you seen the film? It's pretty darn good. Spike totally goes Jackie Chan with a broom.

ERmmmmm nope, aint seen the film i dont think. Maybe i'll watch it again. Oh **** i just remembered a series ive watched a billion times but havent watched in a while. UTAWARERUMONO! And i think i spelt that right the first time!

You're on.



- DIR EN GREY? - No D'espairsray
- Give me a BD player please. -Need them both

- No comment. - Pfft
- The King of Eden? It's rather mediocre. - Ah well
- I prefer my Zelda in 2D. - Same but least i can get the dust of my 3ds now

Death Note,
Samurai Champloo,
Fullmetal alchemist,
One Piece, - yes its over 500 eps now but when you get into it the large amount of eps is a GOOD thing because you dont have to wait weekly

[Neversoft]

AHHHH UTAWARERUMONO ♥

My first love. Second proper anime series I ever saw. I rewatched it again last year and fell in love with it all over again. Can't believe how good that series get towards the end and it has such great character development throughout. I discovered it by pure chance. Best discovery ever!

Indeed! I can't believe how little appreciation i had for it the first time. That series is the one that always makes me give other series a second chance, since i realise how foolish i was the first time i watched it.

Even at the end i didnt appreciate it, only when i watched it a 2nd time was i like holy **** this is brilliant.

Oh i also havent drawn in a while, should totally do that again. Kinda miss it.

[Neversoft]

I think it's Hakuoro's backstory and the whole God theme that makes it very impressive. Plus the fact that throughout the series Hakuoro starts his own empire from scratch and totally owns everyone. Plus the world it's set in is so frickin' amazing and the characters are all a very colourful, charismatic bunch. Everything about the series is just so damn good. I loved the backgrounds as well, usually I take very little notice in the sets and stuff like that in anime but in Utawarerumono they were all hand painted. GOD. The series is so good.

TURNING THIS THREAD INTO THE UTAWARERUMONO APPRECIATION SOCIETY

Oh and I was drawing just the other day. I seem to have gotten back into it. :D

[The Don]

Oh my god, just watched the first episode of Death Note, it was brilliant! Ryuk is such a sinister creature. Can't wait to watch the next episode, so glad I decided to watch it, cheers guys for suggesting Death note.

[Neversoft]

Death Note seems to have that rare power able to grab anyone. I remember there were a few who shunned anime on here back in the day, but some gave Death Note a try and were completely sucked in. If you think it's good now, just wait until later. I don't think I'll ever seen a better psychological mind battle in a film, series or anything, anime or otherwise. The twists and turns in the story are also frickin' genius and the characters are so intriguing. I could go on about it all day!

Are you watching it in Japanese with subtitles or English dubbed, by the way?

[The Don]

With subtitles :P I was told not to get the dubbed versions haha

[Neversoft]

Most English dubs are barely watchable if you actually care about the quality of a series, but the Death Note dub is okay. It is one million times better in Japanese though. The last episode has some of the most intense and impressive voice acting I have ever witnessed.

I can't wait for the last episode now haha.
I'm halfway through episode 2, just paused it to post here, it's the part where L has been introduced. The story is getting really interesting now, I'm guessing that L is someone who has a death note, or has had one before :P

L is the expert genius detective, known for only taking cases that interest him. He assigns himself the Kira case and is Light's biggest rival. I will say no more, however. By about episode eight you should be sucked in and everything will be clear to you. :P

I just finished watching episode two, L is a genius, that twist was shocking. I knew that the man on TV wouldn't of been L but how he executed the plan was impressive. How many times have you watched the series?

I've seen it all the way through four times, but have watched some specific episodes even more. I've also read the manga and have watched the anime specials as well as the Japanese live-action movies. It's my second favourite anime series and easily the one I have seen the most. Just gotta love Death Note. :P

light really is turning into a monster, it's amazing how much depth there is to his character.

[Neversoft]

Gintama is my favourite, but I really wouldn't recommend it if you're new to anime. Light is definitely my favourite character in Death Note, followed by L and Matsuda. Misa and Aizawa have their moments, too. The cast is all-around brilliant, really. My friend drew me an amaaaaazing picture of L for Christmas a few years back. :D

Bloody Rem, I hate her, Why did she have to kill Watari and L

[Neversoft]

Am I the only one who thinks it gets complicated once rem gets involved, I've watched 17 episodes, and it's getting confusing now! :L

I guess it can become confusing on first viewing, especially with Light and L engaging in constant mind battle and Light executing master plans left right and center, but I found that Death Note was always a series that explained itself. By the end I understood everything perfectly clear.


Bloody Rem, I hate her, Why did she have to kill Watari and L

Dammit, you're blitzing through now! :P

Rem didn't kill Watari and L though, Light did. It was all part of his master plan, so if you want to blame anyone, blame him. :P L is absolutely amazing. Definitely one of the most intriguing characters of all time, but surprisingly my emotions when he died were less sadness and more excitement. You just have to admire the genius of Light.

Unfortunately the series dips a little after L's death, before picking up tenfold in the last two episodes. I have never been so engrossed in anything, ever.

I'm still a bit confused as to how he knew Rem would kill watari and L, after all, she wanted what's best for Misa, and Light is clearly using Misa, and Misa knew that, she should've killed Light! I'm only saying this because I want L to win though :P
I'm on epsiode 30 now, I'm glad that N has been introduced, and kind of happy Lights dad has been killed, kind of revenge for L's death haha

But Misa loves Light dearly, had Rem killed Light it would have destroyed Misa. Rem does indeed want whats best for her, which is why she killed L and Watari. You'll probably understand by the end of the series, but if you don't I will be able to explain it better.

I really hate Near with a passion. I like to think the series ended after L's death, but the last two episodes are just too brilliant to discard. Plus Mikami is a monster and so interesting to watch. It just isn't the same without L, though. I was probably saddest about Yagami Soichiro's death. He was the only sane, truly innocent and kind character in the entire series. I wouldn't really call it revenge though, as Light is beyond caring about anyone but himself at this point. His dads death didn't affect him in the slightest.

@Ryuzaki - Why would you even buy Afro Samurai: Resurrection? D: It was such a disappointment.

It just isn't the same without L, though. I was probably saddest about Yagami Soichiro's death. He was the only sane, truly innocent and kind character in the entire series. I wouldn't really call it revenge though, as Light is beyond caring about anyone but himself at this point. His dads death didn't affect him in the slightest.

@Ryuzaki - Why would you even buy Afro Samurai: Resurrection? D: It was such a disappointment.

:O
Why do you hate near? he's great!

I don't think mikami has been introduced yet? not that I've realised, i'm just starting ep 31, or am i just getting confused? explain, without spoilers, why you hate N haha :L

[Southe,]

Was £5 and i like to have my things complete. Gonna draw tonight aswell see if i still have my skillz

Mikami is the tall guy with kinda long hair, he's a lawyer or something like that I think. If he hasn't been introduced yet he should be soon. To avoid spoilers, I'll tell you my opinions on Near once you finish Death Note. :P

Ok, Mikami is introduced at the end of episode 31, just finished watching that one, he seems bad ass, how he took out them people without hesitation

[Southe,]

So yeah

Meh lol.

[The Don]

Finished watching the series, The ending was strange, but I think it was the correct way for it to finish. I still don't understand why you hate N haha. I'm glad that there was a scene with L at the end :P

[Neversoft]

I hate Near because he is pretty much just a generic copy of L and the fact that he does near to nothing to actually work out who Kira is and just rides off of others peoples information annoys me. He just seems cheap and was definitely no match for Light. He would have been long dead had it not been for Mikami.

Matsuda totally stole the last episode for me, though. His performance was damn perfect and watching him just snap was incredibly, jaw-droppingly, breathtakingly immense.

It's from the recap specials, which are pretty much only worth watching for this scene alone.

Zavvi have good deals on for manga anime atm

soul eater box set is like £17, claymore is like £8 death note is £16 darker than black £10

Naruto, Bleach, Afro samurai, Eva, Eden, sengoku lots ant decent prices same with blu ray

Ah fair enough then, but he did piece it all together in the end to be fair, although I can't help but feel he used M, Also, I really don't think the should have... killed off L since they brought N in who was, as you said, exactly like him, they should have just kept L

I'm deciding which series to watch next, I'm thinking Bleach? any recommendations? :P

[Neversoft]

Near bearly pieced it all together. It was only thanks to Mello that he didn't die. I like that they killed off L. I mean he's one of my all time favourite characters, but Death Note would have just been another generic show had he beaten Light. Good wins, predictable, shows over, move on kinda thing. But Light, one of the most purely evil characters ever, was actually able to completely eradicate everything in his way and had very much begun to create his perfect world. That's what sets Death Note apart from the rest, the fact that the villain nearly always has the upper hand.

The first 140-ish episodes of Bleach (minus fillers) are great fun, but I wouldn't recommend it purely because after then it goes completely downhill and never recovers. What genres are you in to? I'm sure I could recommend a couple of series based on your tastes.

I find it interesting how the main character in Death Note, was also the Villain, it's not usually like that in most things :P Hmm, I suppose killing L, the main hero, did make the show different from most, I just thought he was a great character and would've loved a few more episodes with him, oh well.

I'm really not sure what genre, I really enjoyed Death Note, so anything similar to that. Anything dark really, thrillers, there was a series mentioned in this thread somewhere, which I looked up, it was about a guy who had something attached to his face? like a mask stuck to his head? that sounds interesting if you have any idea as to what I'm mentioning :P

That's probably Utawarerumono. It's an adventure/drama. Really, really, really good. Very character driven. Not everyones cup of tea, however. It's nothing like Death Note, so I can't really say whether you would like it or not. :P

If you want a dark thriller, go for Baccano. Or if you think you can handle it, Neon Genesis Evangelion. Probably the most controversial anime series ever. You'll either love it, or absolutely hate it. Personally I think it is one of the best series ever made. You might be better off watching the Rebuild of Evangelion films though.

Saw Senna. I have no interest in Formula One, but it was AMAZING.

@elaboratedolls - Most shops stock anime in this day and age, even Tesco stock the latest Ghibli feature. There's a huge selection in my local HMV, but most of it is way overpriced. I noticed my local WHSmith have started selling manga, too.

Interesting. Havent heard of it and dont like forumla one and neither do any of my friends, so doubt i'll see it. Ah well.

Oh and my order has been dispatched. ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME

[Neversoft]

It was advertised like CRAZY at the Expo last month and it has been getting praise from all over the place so I've heard about nothing but Senna lately. :P It's a documentary film, so probably not really your cup of tea. Seriously good though, whether you like F1 or not.

Well I am off on Thursday evening so if I comes before then LET ME KNOW!

Also, Evangelion 2.22 arrived today. :D My second blu-ray. :8 Think I might watch both films back to back tonight. Although having seen them both back to back at the cinema I wonder if I'll be underwhelmed watching them on the small screen.

[Southe,]

still waiting on my stuff to come but ive noticed the zavvi stuff is going up now. and HMV anime sale dosent start until monday now.

Lets settle this on Brawl. First to five. If I win you watch the two Evangelion films. If you win I start watching FMA again.

Remember our bet, Neev. Fat chance you'll win considering how badly I owned you last time, but if you do what series should I watch, the original or Brotherhood?

Anyone else wanna join us on Brawl this weekend?

No way, you're getting the better deal already! The first Evangelion film is only like 90 minutes and the second one is two hours long. That's seven episodes maximum. The original FMA series is 50-something episodes and Brotherhood is 60-something! The bet only includes one series. :@

I want to ask. What is the biggest anime binge you've gone on? Mine is probably like 10 hours when I watched a giant batch of Great Teacher Onizuka

[Nemo]

ugh watched the whole of the first FMA in a day, back to back, so probably like 14 hours or some ridiculous amount

[Neversoft]

Watched the first 22 episodes of Bleach in one day and watched the next 15 the day after. Also watched the first 10 episodes of Evangelion in one day and the following 16 the day after. Haven't marathoned a series in a long while.

[PaulMacC]

I'm tempted to see as I've so much free time lately and I'm doing nothing else productive. Still watching Rurouni Kenshin though. On episode 60 out of 95 so getting there. Good series so far. Really like animes set in the Meiji era.

---------- Post added 02-07-2011 at 07:09 PM ----------

Are we still going to the expo in October? I'm still down for that. What is the exact date its on btw?

[Neversoft]

You should watch Peace Maker Kurogane.

The Expo is 28th to 30th of October. The one in Manchester is at the end of this month. I should hopefully be going in October as long as my friend can make it down from Sheffield.

[PaulMacC]

That's cool. If all goes to plan I should be at Uni early October anyway so its just a matter of a train ride down.

BAM :D 505 of One piece, was so good.


I have a feeling by 507 the timeskip will have happened! He finally talked about his Nakama again, named them all and it ended with him saying "I want to see them all now" and "they will be waiting for me on the sunny" or something :P.

Don't get scenes like that in Naruto ;) i bring naruto up because i watched a debate on youtube and the guy said naruto was better than op at everything. lol @ him.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUio-ySCNHM

And can't see it happening for a while tbh. expect 4 eps of the other strawhats, then possible filler so im guessing 510 will be the ep.

Been watching Soul Eater pretty good. 7/8 discs left to watch, so much easier to watch anime on tv/dvd i think.

Aww back to being Ruby Member :(

Got my Bleach season 5, Gintama Best 2 today. Love the Gintama box

[Neversoft]

Started a new manga. Finally back in the game! I had to take a break after I finished Nana. It was too sad.

[Neversoft]

Have you guys seen how many people post anime pictures in the graphics section? I wonder if they're even aware this section exists, or maybe we're too elitist for them.

[buttons]

what are you reading? ive never finished nana.. :/ & if any of you do, where do buy your manga other than online cause waterstones only has 3 volumes of my manga :(

[Neversoft]

Ciguatera. I thought it would be a realistic, relatable drama about the highs and lows of adolescence... something like Solanin... but it's actually really weird and nothing like I expected. I'm half way to finishing it already though, it's quite addictive. But my search for a realistic drama about a bunch of characters finding their place in the world continues.

I buy my manga mostly online or at the Expo. I buy a volume or two occasionally from my local Waterstones and I noticed WHSmith have started selling manga as well now. I don't have a Borders near me, but they sell manga too, as do Blackwells. When I am in London I usually pop into Forbidden Planet as it's like manga heaven in there, but I find http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/ is always the way to go.

I think I probably have over 300 manga now. I should count...

Nana. i was looking at the anime sets for that i think unless im mixing the name up. Something about some girl or something?

Alot of people i know draw manga style but don't watch or read it


what are you reading? ive never finished nana.. :/ & if any of you do, where do buy your manga other than online cause waterstones only has 3 volumes of my manga :(

The best place is online. so thats where i get mine. Forbidden planet is 3 for £15 depending on what im buying i could mayb get. 4-5 for that. WH Smith are a bit pricey aswell and they have Naruto alongside the Graphic novel part but some series where tucked away in the kids section like One Piece... And lastly Waterstones, Pricey and my waterstones as gone from a decent 4 Unit display to 1 and a half. the missing half is completly full of Naruto.

The more you buy manga online the mroe you save. u may have to pay £7 in shops but books normally fall to £3-4ish and if your lucky might spot some bargins like brand new books for 1p (+£2ish shipping) so when you buy in bulk like i normally do you save money and able to buy more.

Rough count but i has 211 volumes + Viz big 1 of Vagabond and a big + Vol 1 of big Battle Royale. + 20ish JP One Piece volumes.


xP Yeah, completely forgot about all that filler they'll throw in there alongside it -.- hopefully be 510 :P

Yea well its not really filler its what i call Canon-Filler. Stuff that was in manga just the expand it to fill an ep. why i prefer canon-filler to Naruto filler arc style fillers.

It's a romance drama about about the chance meeting of two girls with the same name (Nana) who end up moving in with each other in Tokyo. One of them is really girly, the other is in a punk band. It's a shoujo, maybe not your thing, but personally I think it is one of the best anime series I have ever seen and definitely one that is going to stick with me the longest. The manga is also superb, in my top five without a doubt.

Also, a lot of them draw actual anime characters from actual series. I think they're just unaware of this section.

Also #2, considering watching Beck.

[Southe,]

yea i think thats the one
http://www.planetaxel.com/productDetails/782009239611

And im considering getting beck. Like how Beez has the Anime Legends. Funimation have S.A.V.E sets that are under $30 quite a few decent series aswel. has that one you go on about unwatcahcee how ever its spelt, Big wind up, NHK, Beck, Ghost hunt, speed grapher, So might be tempted to buy a few.

[Neversoft]

I had no idea Beck was available over here. They only have single sets on Amazon though. I would buy it if they had a boxset.

And yeah, that's Nana. :D

[PaulMacC]

Nana. i was looking at the anime sets for that i think unless im mixing the name up. Something about some girl or something?



Alot of people i know draw manga style but don't watch or read it



The best place is online. so thats where i get mine. Forbidden planet is 3 for £15 depending on what im buying i could mayb get. 4-5 for that. WH Smith are a bit pricey aswell and they have Naruto alongside the Graphic novel part but some series where tucked away in the kids section like One Piece... And lastly Waterstones, Pricey and my waterstones as gone from a decent 4 Unit display to 1 and a half. the missing half is completly full of Naruto.

The more you buy manga online the mroe you save. u may have to pay £7 in shops but books normally fall to £3-4ish and if your lucky might spot some bargins like brand new books for 1p (+£2ish shipping) so when you buy in bulk like i normally do you save money and able to buy more.

Rough count but i has 211 volumes + Viz big 1 of Vagabond and a big + Vol 1 of big Battle Royale. + 20ish JP One Piece volumes.



Yea well its not really filler its what i call Canon-Filler. Stuff that was in manga just the expand it to fill an ep. why i prefer canon-filler to Naruto filler arc style fillers.



I'm gonna say we've seen the last of Ippo. Sad but the guy was supposedly working on a film which no information has been given and been nothing said about a new series so yea.. which is a shame.

I wouldn't rule it out. The manga is still going strong. Plus, it took 7 years for another season after the first :P

[Southe,]

from what ive heard the manga is just rinse and repeat read few chapters and it was like an ep of dbz nothing happens. anyway ippo is inclusded in this

films ppl dont want to be made into live action - new poll
http://www.animenewsnetwork.co.uk/interest/2011-07-05/cobbs-poll/which-manga-shouldnt-be-a-live-action-film

One piece now leads, taken over slam dunk. other series include fma, ippo and gintama

[Neversoft]

Rikiya Koyama actually said there would be a third season, but I guess you can't really take the word of Takamura seriously.

Also, I struggle to understand why anyone wouldn't want a live-action film of Vagabond. Talk about potential.

Waiting on my Soul Eater, Beach 2, FMA:B Best albums to come. Will mean i will have 7 best albums. Still looking for Gintama Best 1 :( and early Naruto ones will be long gone.

Also gonna order some more anime and manga. I need to start thinking of what im gnna do with it all. i have to much and until i get my own place (hopefully soon) gonna have to start storing stuff away methinks D:

[Southe,]

So. WAS going to buy some manga update few series but decided i should focus on one series and buy it like monster only have 1 + 2 and some are hard to get.

I won a bid on ebay for £8 for v 1-3. now have to v1-2. wasnt prepared to pay more than £100 for a new copy...

Ordered V7,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18
V 4,5,6,8,9 are all gonna cost me over £20 each unless i spot them on ebay D: so will have to finish it by looking out for some bargins.

July - Monster.
August - Fullmetal Alchemist
September - D Grayman
October - Update One Piece/Gintama/Toriko/Bakuman/Nura/Heros Tale
might invest in a nice big plastic box

[PaulMacC]

I want to start re-watching One Piece, Bleach and Naruto but I can't remember where I left off and honestly can't be bothered watching the entire series again. I just watched 5 Centimeters Per Second. It was a very good movie, the art-style is superb!

[Southe,]

i was gonna leave 5 CM PS until the bluray came out because it did look superb but i got it on dvd in a sale for £3ish so meh.

And as for your rewatch.
Bleach - Don't watch or read it currently - No opinion
Naruto - Don't watch last set of fillers killed it for me after giving it so many chances, Just read it now and even then im just flickign through it to see what happens.
One Piece - Anime - Nearing the end of the first part of the series, Manga in 2nd part of series interesting at the moment. In a place thats been mentioned quite a few times. my mate that stopped watching started again and enjoying it.

If you fancy something new Toriko, always on the top 5 for SJ polls and is a contender for the top 3 when naru/bleach finish <- thats the manga anyway. Anime is done by toei [ DBZ, OP ]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLP_68GCmc8&feature=related

[Neversoft]

5 Centimeters Per Second is both a brilliant romance and lovely, lovely eye candy. The ending made me cry and the soundtrack is superb. A shame Makoto Shinkai's other movies aren't nearly as good.

Saw the Toriko manga at a shop around a month or two ago. I was interested but to be honest I watch so many series and quit them half way through. It's a bad habit of mine :(

[Syphon]

:D :D :D :D

One Piece - 506 -- More than I could have hoped for :D

Rather than going through each person for a long period of time, it only went through chopper and zoro :D then it quickly zipped through the rest of them, I'd give it another 2 weeks or so before the timeskip :P

[Southe,]

Only 14 eps of toriko at the moment aswell

[PaulMacC]

Just watched the first episode of Toriko. It was a cross-over with One Piece. Very good. I will continue to watch the series. Is it scheduled to end after 18 episodes though?

[Southe,]

i dunno i heard that but i was thinking that would be the trial period, if it does well it keeps going. nothings been mentioned. Toriko was announced to be taking Dragonball kai's slot quite a few weeks before it ended, been no news of something taking toriko's spot.

And yea i liked the cross over. the manga version is diffrent to the anime version aswell so should give that a read aswell both good.

[PaulMacC]

How different is the manga from the anime?

[PaulMacC]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaGd6CXuOKA
The main character (Toriko) looks like a crossover of Goku and Gintoki.

[Neversoft]

Geez Neev, how behind are you? You donator is very feminine, also.

Considering rewatching Cowboy Bebop. :hmm:

OH and I read a short one volume manga the other day called Confession. It's about two mountain climbers stranded in a snow storm on a mountain, one is injured and thinks he is going to die so he confesses to a murder he committed so as to finally be at peace. The two survive however and make it to the log cabin. They request help but it'll take two days to arrive because of the storm. The person who confessed to the murder then starts acting weird and thinks the other person may tell people about his secret and the other person who he confessed to starts becoming paranoid and thinks that the other man is plotting to kill him. Enter mind battle. Such a good manga. You should all read it.

[Skittle]

Toy Story is my second favourite anime series behind Aladin...

[Southe,]

i was meaning the crossover there was a manga special aswell. About Toriko eating a devil fruit. But from what i was told is the violence is toned down etc like when you see the ova Toriko looks more badass.

The action is pretty good in Toriko. You can tell it's animated by the DBZ/OP guys easily. Just when he gets really angry, lots of aurora appears around him. Almost looks like a super sayain :P

[Neversoft]

Nothing. I'm like ten episodes behind on Gintama now. Going through a manga phase, though I haven't been reading that much lately.

[CMNiall]

The conclusion to the Gintama arc was pretty **** to be honest. Thought it would have been on par with the Shinsengumi Rebellion arc but it messed up near the end.

It's a little thing called fan service which Gainax specialise in.

[Southe,]

yea but normaly when fan service happens theres some sort of explination to why it happened. just seems random lol. anyway trying to find the 2 films on dvd. only place you can buy them in the US dosent ship internationaly so bah

You obviously haven't seen many Gainax shows. :P Their fan service is usually spontaneous and pointless. You could even argue that they invented it, starting with the 'Gainax bounce' in Gunbuster. I know so much pointless crap.

[Ashley]

Haven't watched any form of anime in absolutely ages. I'm thinking of rewatching Death Note or picking up from where I left off with Shippuuden. Not sure which one yet.

[Neversoft]

You should watch Samurai Champloooooooooooooooooo.

[Ashley]

Never heard of it, what's it about?

[Neversoft]

It's about two samurai and a girl in search for a legendary samurai who 'smells like sunflowers'. The main story itself is very vague at the start and many of the episodes go off on hilarious tangents, but the last couple of episodes really are the icing on the cake and it has an unbelievable amount of both memorable scenes and characters. It's one of those rare series that really reminds you why you watch anime in the first place.

[Ashley]

Sounds quite... strange, but I suppose I could have a look. How many episodes does it have?

[Neversoft]

Twenty six. If you want something shorter then I recommend Baccano (13 episodes) or if you're after a movie check out Sword of the Stranger. :)

[Southe,]

Managed to get the 2 films LE so all good.
anyone seen this?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZ_lSArtlnY&feature=player_embedded

[Neversoft]

Saw that like two years ago. :P It's quite good. Wish Gainax did more short things like it.

[Southe,]

and yes Samurai Champloo, far better than Shippuuden why people still watch it i do not know

[PaulMacC]

Anyone know where I can download anime for my iPhone?
3 hour flight tomorrow to Magaluf for 10 days and need something to watch :3

[Southe,]

- All i know is to download what ever and use a program to convert it for itunes.

- Japan get all the good stuff stupid rights and licensing ;[

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmjLNZOuw2A&NR=1

[PaulMacC]

Yeah but you can't convert MKV files. You need hard subbed stuff which is hard to find.

[Neversoft]

You can convert MKV files, but it isn't really worth the hassle.

[PaulMacC]

How do I do that Chris? When I convert them it comes up with no subs :/

[Neversoft]

I'm not tech-savvy enough to explain the ins and outs of everything, but there are a couple of programs out there that'll do it for you. Just run a Google search and I'm sure you'll find something, but really you're better off just downloading a different file format.

[PaulMacC]

My anime of choice while abroad is One Piece. I will be watching from Episode 180 onwards. I've managed to get Episode 180 - 230 in mp4 format :)

woah woah, when did u watch the other 180?

I was watching One Piece about 4-5 months back, got up to Sky Island arc and then stopped. Luckily. Episode 180 is bang right in the middle of that arc so I can continue :D
PSPISO has a lot of good anime in MP4 format and is updated weekly with the new episodes of Naruto, Gintama, Bleach, Dectector Conan, Toriko and more. It also has a huge backlog of already finished series.


You need to register to download but it is free, check this thread when you've registered. http://www.pspiso.com/showthread.php?t=789974
It has an entire section dedicated to anime/manga downloads for iPhone/Touch and PSP. So there is much more!

[Niall!]

Guess who got his account back!

Paul, download the xvid versions. They're hardsubbed usually.

[PaulMacC]

47 episodes of OP downloaded and ready to play on my iPhone. Off to the airport, cya in 10 days guys!

[Neversoft]

Until we meet again, Paul.

Bought Gintama volume 22. One more volume to go before Viz pull the plug. So glad the screwdriver arc was published before they cancelled the series. Flicking through it now and besides the fact that they changed Hasegawa's Monkey Hunter name from M to D (he is called DORK instead of MADAO in the American editions =/) it's still as brilliant as ever. Fruits Punch Samurai G!

My new phone also arrives tomorrow. I'll finally be able to install some kind of manga app so I can read manga whenever I want omg squeeeeee

I preferred New Challenger to the original season. Just because it focused a lot more on Takamura and Takamura is awesome.

In other news there is a Hunter x Hunter anime reboot starting on October 2nd. It'll be following the manga extremely closely from the very start and no fillers apparently. I've watched to read the manga but I'm too lazy so I guess I will be watching this.

[Neversoft]

To be honest if you weigh it all up Takamura probably got more focus in the first series. He did fight then as well you know and isn't it in the first series where Ippo learned about his brutal weight training? Plus in the first series he fought a frickin' bear. Takamura vs Hawk is definitely the best fight, but I could never outright say that New Challenger is best seires. It's impossible to choose between them imo. I just view them both as a single entity, like the first and second series of Gintama.

[PaulMacC]

Speaking of which, any word on a new season/movie or is that notion completely dead now?

[Neversoft]

Not happening any time soon. Rikiya Koyama is the only person that has said a new season is in the works - he could have just been teasing. Apparently there was supposed to be a new Ippo film too, but nothing has been heard on that for years. Might as well give up asking, because it probably won't happen. At least not for another five years minimum at this rate.

[Southe,]

aye but i cant just waste couple £££ on a new laptop plus i have stuff to buy.

[Neversoft]

I hate you two and your vulgar display of wealth.

[Southe,]

all i did was apply for a job and because im awesome i got it. ;D im a good people person so that sort of went in my favour. go for a job your good at and watch the money roll in

[Neversoft]

I hate people so I wish I was just a fisherman or something. I'm good at writing but it isn't exactly easy to get a job in that area. Although with that said I'll be featured in the buyers guide in the next issue of NEO Magazine and they're going to print my review of Evangelion 2.22. You all better buy it. Issue 88, on sale next Thursday I think (the 11th) at your local WHSmiths.

[SmexyCookie..]

DeathNote - Nyu! ♥

[Southe,]

only bought neo twice- regretted it twice.

i keep joking to people about writing a book and making my money that way if your a good writer maybe see about getting something there. I'd like to write a book but it always stumbles me on how to start it and stuff xD. and im assuming the review you do for neo has to be on UK dvd/blurays/products?

Need to find me a good site to get manga for my kindle i found a site but only has first 5 volumes of a few series.
Got me 1-5 of Ippo and not manga but all of the Walking Dead

[Neversoft]

HATERS GONNA HATE.

I don't often agree with the opinions of NEO and some of their articles are very biased, but they do have some good material and at least we have an anime magazine over here in the UK. Yeah, UK products since it's a UK magazine. Though I just reviewed the film and not the actual DVD, features, et cetera. That's twice I've had that review published now. :D

Just wondering, did you go to uni Ryuzaki? If so, what did you study?

I'm more a critic than a novelist. Though I do feel I have a lot of good ideas that could be molded into a story, but I would probably be better suited as a scriptwriter. Again, not an easy occupation to make money from. :P I think the best way to start something is to always brainstorm and figure out which direction you want to take it.

[Southe,]

nope just college for me, and pity could have reviewed my Strong World LE. I could have done a good piece on Strong world have..

- Volume 0
- The artbook
- The data book
- The movie program

Wish i could legally turn One Piece into a novel. Payed to either turn the series into novel form or come up with my own spin offs. Would be great, wouldnt be payed as much as someone coming up with the own idea tho.

I'm an idea person tho, would like to be a writer, director or director at games cant remember the name for someone who just inputs ideas and leads etc.

Be like the guy on YouTube who opens packs of Pokémon cards for a video and gets like 15,000+ views each. He's raking it in.

On Episode 301 of One Piece. Very good. I still feel shocked that Kaku is in CP9. He looks so nice! :(
