    started watching Sora no Manimani there the other week and have been liking it, it's an ongoing series about halfway through the season so far. I'd recommend it to those who like 'slice of life' anime

    I read 111 chapters of Zetman in 3 days.
    Because Zetman is pretty damn awesome.

    Watching Basilisk, it's pretty great, like Naruto but more mature.
    Reading Trigun Maximum. Trigun is one of my favourite anime of all time so it's going down nicely :)

    Trigun manga > Trigun anime

    Trigun manga > Trigun anime
    Most manga are better than the manga they're based on, although manga cannot capture the same tense atmosphere of a good anime fight (Claymore is a biggun)

    i can see where you're coming from, but in the vast vast majority of cases i always prefer the manga.

    a good imagination can create an atmosphere from a manga that an anime never could :pac:

    i agree tho that sometimes a fight comes across better in the anime, trigun being a good example! reading the fight scenes in that manga can give you a headache cuz there's so much going on on the page.

    Just watched all of FMP: The Second Raid over the weekend, so awesome.

    Also trying to keep up to date with the Valkyria Chronicles anime when I can.

    finished watching Kimi na Nozomu Eien last night. Great story... but if anyone else saw, tell me, is it wrong for me to think that the ending wasnt what I expected? I didnt want that to happen at all! :(

    Started watching Clannad this morning, was in Tokyo last summer and that was all the rage, so I'm finally sitting down to see what the fuss is all about

    That's on my list on ones to watch, after Code Geuss I reckon. Finished watching Basilisk last night, kinda predicted the ending but still good.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,798 ✭✭✭Funky


    I really enjoyed Clannad and After Story, good watches !


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28 Red Tempest


    Claymore....again. Really can't get bored of it and the animation is incredible.
    New season of hagane no renkinjutsushi is a bit boring so far, was looking forward to it so I'm a little disappointed. Hate the way they redesigned couple of characters too, why mess with perfection, baka tare! Gah!

    That's funny, I started watching it the night you posted that. It's a nice thing to start watching when you wake up.

    I've only just started reading manga, a friend of mine gave me GTO volume 2. Very different from the comics I'm used to and having to read it backwards was confusing in the begginging but the story is very good. I just bought vol. 1 but have discovered that there's a huge amount of these available, 20 odd volumes or so. Rather than having to read every single one can anyone recommend which ones are worth purchasing?


  • Registered Users Posts: 142 ✭✭spookymuffin


    Kuro****suji aka Black Butler: awesome manga and the anime's not half bad either.

    The managka's art style is amazing.

    *edit* I cannot believe that the middle of the manga title was censored by the forum software. It's Ku-ro-shi-tsu-ji anyway.

    while i am happy that meloncholy got out of its 8 episode long practical joke, it has now seriously gone into very dark territories and has turned what was one of the more light hearted episodes of the original series into something insanely dark.

    edit: just got to the end of the episode and it back peddled rather conveniantly from the really dark
    borderline rape scene

    Like alot of new addition to good series i like recently (FMA brotherhood, macross frontier and meloncholy season 2) I am rather confused on whether I like it or not. The idea behind the 8 part practical joke was good, but it dragged on too much and the pay off was far too small and now its goin into too much detail into something that worked really well as a one off episode. though
    I would like to learn more about the cat that randomly popped in and out of the original series, so all is forgiven if the next episode actually addressess the cat

    I wouldn't call it
    a borderline rape scene, she was drugged and was about to be kissed, I don't think Suzumiya would have forced Koizumi to rape her, what was way more intense was Kyon nearly beating the living crap out of Haruhi.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,511 ✭✭✭✭Varik


    after 2 days of reading am on chapter 144 of gto and it the best manga i've ever read it cant get any better oh wait it just did

    every one read it

    theres an anime at 43 eps but it goes off on its own half way in
    the manga is better by far

    I recently started watching Eureke seven, it is pretty damn class! Really reminds me of Code Geass but has hints of Evangelion in it with the whole mysterious story behind Eureka's origin *cough Rei Cough* :P

    Cowboy Bebop is by far my favorite anime though:D
