FLCL manga.

I bought it at Eirtakon.

I have the DvD's, and the Manga looks like win too. Art style is 'interesting'

Too bad there's only 2 volumes -- I could've done with 2 more

Also, as crazy as the art style in FLCL can get, it has nothing on Gundam Seed Astray R -- which is just a shambolic mess, really.

anybody read the naruto chapter 425

i very much doubt kakashi is dying, id say he's in limbo (between life and death) also it was very interesting about naruto not able to fuse because of the nine tails, id say he'll have an argue with the nine tails demanding co-operation also whats up with Konohamaru, id say he has the thirds staff in his hand

overall im a bit disappointed with the chapter

its very drawn out tbh

Sephiroth_dude · 21-11-2008 1:18pm

im gonna watch fist of the north star again.

Just read it today

To be honest, i'm not really sure if he will be killed off or not. As far as naruto is concerned, he has kinda fulfilled his position as his teacher now and has nothing more he can really teach him. Also They're doing the whole "fill in the gaps" story around his character aswell which could mean he is on the way out. Theres just some niggly little things about the last few chapters that make me doubt this is the end for him though.

On the anime side:

Fight between kakashi and team 10 Vs kakazu and hidan really kicked off in last few episodes but i think this weeks episode was amazing. It was really cool watching kakashi face off against both hidan and kakazu in combat.

Just finished watching Code Geass R2 last night. A perfect ending for a great show.

Just happy that at least Nunally and Karen know what Lelouch had planned.

Tar.Aldarion · 24-11-2008 7:03am

just rewatched deathnote

all of dragonball, and am in middle of dbz.

I am also staying up to date with bleach.

Spunge · 24-11-2008 3:00pm

i need to finish code geass R2, ive been on episode 12 or so for a few months.

Varkov · 24-11-2008 5:32pm

I was the same, I was on 17 for months. Re-watched the entire first series first.

Got through the Shippuuden filler EVENTUALLY! The next few episodes are gearing up to be totally bad-ass.

Headshot · 01-12-2008 8:28pm

Reading Great Teacher Onizuka at the moment, great stuff

and just finished watching Gurren Lagann, what an epic anime... absolutely loved it. Think I'm gonna watch Mushishi next, seems to have alot of good reviews

waynec32 · 13-12-2008 11:42pm

im watching and reading naruto, i kept putting it off so im only on the end of the sasuke retrieval arc....i also plan to catch up with bleach....just finished watching FLCL, loved it......ive got alot of time on my hands, so any suggestions?

I won't say it's my favorite just yet, but I can see why it could be. Episode 15 and 16 got corrupted on my DVD so gotta try and get them off a mate some day soon. I can't wait to finish watching so I can watch again:D
I'm on volume 32 of Berserk and I can honestly say I dunno what the hell the hype is about. Up to the part where the past bits ended it was all good but for a good while I've found it to be jumping all over the place. Too much rape and tenticles, the writer must be the horniest fecker I've come across.

FLCL is NUTs. There's a million "Suggestions" threads here but you can't go wrong with some Death Note and Hajime No Ippo

Overheal · 14-12-2008 3:20am

if i knew where to grab some gundam mangas i might have a go. at the minute gundam 00 season 2 is in full swing; just had its 11th episode tonight. I dont know what they were saying yet but the fights are getting epical.

cade · 14-12-2008 4:23am

I read tons of Manga, seriously, The last few Manga that've been entertaining me has been Gunsmith Cats, which is soo totaly excellent. Great Characters, excellent storyline and cool action sequences.

As for Anime, the Only series i've been keeping up to date with lately have been, Kurozuka, Kemeko DX, Shikabane Hime (whenever Lunare Releases) and Toradora.

Sephiroth_dude · 27-12-2008 8:36pm

watching fist ofthe north star again,good show.

Misa-san · 28-12-2008 2:07am

Friend just introduced me to Darker Than Black.

I'm only a couple episodes in, but I'm already intrigued (albeit, still a little confused; but it shan't be long)

Anyone got a recommendation of where to watch 'em? The link she gave me had these really annoying ads that got in the way of the screen and meant I had to watch in full-screen - minor complaint, I know.

sadista · 28-12-2008 12:33pm

Elfen lied is awesome I would recommend it to everyone! Great story!

Tirabaralla · 29-12-2008 9:32pm

Hi there, everyone

I am currently watching Excel Saga, I always tought it was too absurd...I was wrong...it's really funny

Someone asked about One Piece, I love it...seriously.

I miss manga so much, I don,t have anything in my language here and I didn't started any in english yet...maybe I should

Cy_Revenant · 31-12-2008 1:27am

Most recently, I've been watching Xam'd: Lost Memories.

Or Bounen no Xam'd, if you prefer things like that.

Quite excellent stuff, in my opinion.

Prime32 · 31-12-2008 2:30pm

Just finished GaoGaiGar (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann's older brother). Now on to FINAL...

Varkov · 31-12-2008 6:21pm

blood the last vampire

Sephiroth_dude · 08-01-2009 12:34am

gonna watch rg veda and monster city tomorrow.

K.O.Kiki · 08-01-2009 12:45pm

Just finished Black Lagoon sn1 & sn2 (Second Barrage).
Very, very awesome dubs!

Next up: hoping the rest of Minami-ke sn3 is better than the (piss-poor) opening episode, and anxiously await the second half of Toradora!

Only watched the subs, but I loved the English speaking parts towards the end... "Hey you, Japanese!"

cherryghost · 11-01-2009 1:13pm

Just watched Elfen Lied.

The nudity wasnt tastefully done imo, but I loved every other sense of the programme. Brilliant!

abz · 12-01-2009 12:27pm

Deathnote

yh I know I'm behind

monellia · 12-01-2009 2:07pm

Samurai Champloo

I'm on episode 3

Tyranax · 14-01-2009 3:11pm

Watched Vexille recently, wasn't too impressed, very pretty but also pretty hollow.

Watched The Girl Who Leapt Through Time last night, loved it. Very nice style of animation, great humour in the film as well. The ending is a little vague, but the rest of the film is top notch.

I might watch Kiki's Delivery Service tonight, can anyone give me an opinion on that?

Been catching up with Tytania and Casshern SINS, as I fell behind during the year. About to start Michiko to Hatchin.

Reading Gintama now.

Thanks for the opinion. I've watched a few Ghibli films and I've liked nearly all of them. I'll fire it up tonight so, can't wait.

TY Tyranax for the idea and Cherryghost for the feedback...I love Studio Ghibli too...gotta take a look at this one!

Prime32 · 14-01-2009 5:04pm

Watching Slayers, and Super Robot Wars OG: Divine Wars (because getting into the games is complicated).

Yeah Kiki's was a great watch

(any Ghibli movie is!)

Not really watching much at the moment, only Toradora! and Toaru Majetsu no Index really. Both decent watches.

maybe with an exception of My Neighbours the Yamadas. good attempt at something different, but to be fair, its not great.

Tyranax · 14-01-2009 6:59pm

I haven't seen My Neighbours, so I can't comment on that, but I didn't really enjoy My Neighbour Totoro, although I'd say that this is because it is aimed squarely at young children, and I saw it when I was, err, twenty.

I probably shouldnt have said ALL ghibli movies (i haven't seen all of them, but a good fair few), but all the ones i have seen iv enjoyed greatly

Tyranax · 15-01-2009 12:30am

Well, I watched Kiki's Delivery Service tonight, heartily enjoyed it. Full of charm and sparkle, great film. One thing that I noticed in anime compared to western animated films, in terms of ones aimed towards children, there seems to be a distinct lack of schmaltz and more respect for their intelligence towards children in the anime ones that I have seen. Although that seems to be getting better these days with gems like Ratatouille and Wall-E. I respect Pixar as much as Ghibli, they are both producers of such quality.

Misa-san · 18-01-2009 11:01pm

Aaaw I got Kiki's Delivery Service for christmas and watched it with the boyfriend - think he was intimidated by how much I was enjoying it.

There's something about this type of animation. It isn't patronising to kids, and it's still entertaining to us slightly bigger kids (i.e. we're taller)

Heh, that's quite true. Was it your boyfriend's first time watching an anime directed at children(of all ages)?

I picked up Nausicaa, Porco Rosso and Laputa:Castle In The Sky at the weekend in HMV, they were all going for 13 euro, and I was quite pleased, and tempted to get more.....

Kiki though, great film. Those films are just so.....hearty, if you know what I mean. There are trials and tribulations and drama, but it's sweet at it's heart.(I sound as gay as a pink washbag...)

What anime are you watching or manga are you reading?
