Kav Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Keep watching @Mokong, you're going to love it! I'm up to episode 33 now on FMA Brotherhood. Enjoying a lot now, but I'd say I still prefer Death Note, AoT, HxH and One Piece.
Frank Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 What's everybody's opinion on Avatar? I was initially thrown back by the idea of it being originally in English but I've heard great things about it.
Diageo Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 You've quite rightly heard things about it. It's a fantastic show.

Absolutely amazing show. I'm just surprised that something this great managed to come from Nickelodeon post 90's. I'm ready for The Legend of Korra now. Shorty said: I can safely say that I deserved this response, as I am now well into the second season of Avatar: The Last Airbender and really enjoying it. Great series I was right though, it definitely finds it's feet about 1/3 of the way into the first season. Two word summary: Highly recommended.
bryanee Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Ten episodes of FMA:B left. Outfuckingstanding. Best anime I've seen by a country mile. Man I hope the end of this doesn't shit the bed.
Shorty Posted February 24, 2014 Author Posted February 24, 2014 FMA:B is just FMA but following the manga right? Is it better than the manga?

Man I hope the end of this doesn't shit the bed. So glad you are enjoying it. It just gets sooo crazy with the amount of fights that go on. Don't worry, the end doesn't disappoint. Shorty said: FMA:B is just FMA but following the manga right? Is it better than the manga? Yeah, Brotherhood is just the manga in anime form. I never read the manga so I can't compare them but the anime is well worth a watch. It's sooooo much better than the original series that was churned out.
Jonnas Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Shorty said: FMA:B is just FMA but following the manga right? Is it better than the manga? I find the manga better for a couple of reasons. -The first 15 episodes (the first 30 or so manga chapters) are rushed, because they were covered by the previous series already. So, certain scenes seem to come out of nowhere as a result (Ed's sudden outburst against Greed springs to mind). -Brotherhood's attempts at humour are...weird. In the manga, jokes are used at the end of dramatic scenes, but the anime just puts jokes (hyper-deformed face and everything) in the middle of said scenes while serious music is still playing (though this subsides as the series goes on) But other than that rocky start, both are recommended.
Shorty Posted February 24, 2014 Author Posted February 24, 2014 Once I learned that the original anime split off from the manga, and was immensely depressing, I never finished it. But I stuck with the manga and loved it until it ended, which wasn't all that long ago really. I think I might just leave it there and not worry about Brotherhood or the first anime :p
Emerald Emblem Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Well I've started part 1 of Robotics; Notes (Part 2 next month), I have to say it's really good, the first 5 episodes are pretty much build up (Good build up mind) but it's started the whole conspiracy stuff up and it's getting really good, I was hoping to make it last but I can't stop myself from watching at times, until it gets really late because I watch anime DVD/Blu Rays just before bed time. I hope it doesn't end on a cliffhanger like Steins; Gate did (Though fortunately I started it after I got both parts in that instance so no waiting for me).
bryanee Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Just finished FMA, godly. I didn't want it to end, I want to keep watching these characters and see how everything plays out for them in the future.

Reveal hidden contents When Mustang finally gets a hold of Envy...man, that moment is just awesome. *click*BOOM!*click*BOOM! The fact that he melts Envy's eyes is hilarious. Speaking of eyes, I was so angry when the SOBs took Mustangs sight. Still didn't stop him from fighting though. What about when Scar is fighting Wrath and you think he's beaten but then BOOYA constructive tattoo on the other arm, bitch! Ed vs Pride: Kimberly showing up and sorting him out from the inside. Genius. There's so many good moments and fights in this series. I need to rewatch this!
Jonnas Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 The last few episodes of Brotherhood are what every Shonen should strive for, really.
Hero-of-Time Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Reveal hidden contents Loved the team up of Kakashi and Obito. Guy showing up at the end was a bit random but very welcome. We are still no further forward in finding out who the hell that was approaching Sasuke.

Everything he did can not be forgiven, and now they're working with him and he's going to save Naruto?... Was really hoping the title - The Two Mangekyous meant we'd see who approached Sasuke. I'd fooled myself into hoping it was Itachi.
-Dem0- Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Reveal hidden contents Once I saw that pointless Rin-filled flashback begin, I knew Mr. Foot was going have to wait for at least another week. But at least we now know that Guy is going to go all-out next week which is a big plus in my books. Anyway Sawyer's review was better than this weeks' chapter in my opinion.
Kav Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) So, the latest chapters... Reveal hidden contents Poo Reveal hidden contents Usopp you pussy, what did you do for 2 years?!!! Also, only got the last 5 episodes of FMA Brotherhood left to watch. I have thoroughly enjoyed it but think it's not as good as some make it out to be. Still very good mind! Also reading Kingdom, managed to get through all 340 chapters in a week, whilst keeping up to date with so much other stuff too. Really enjoying it, it's worth a read. Edited March 5, 2014 by Kav
Shorty Posted March 5, 2014 Author Posted March 5, 2014 I know it's mostly Naruto manga fans here, but anyone still watching Shippuuden? There's a filler arc on right now which, and I don't think I've ever said this before, is actually pretty good.

Although there's potential to tell Tenzo/Yamato's back story which could be interesting.

Reveal hidden contents I thought it was good this week. We finally get to see Mr. Foot. Guy had some good panel time, Lee came back and that will surely mean that Tenten will make a fighting return (most likely with those legendary weapons). Reveal hidden contents The past few chapters were pretty solid but this week was great in my opinion. Luffy, Zoro & Law! missed those guys! Franky has been going solo for this entire arc and it's great to see it continue. We finally know what Kinemon was doing now, oh man, him disguised as Doffy with Ussop running away had me laughing! Although, I think he'll definitely make a brave return. Oda has kept us in the dark with Sanji & co and I can only see that leading to something HUGE! He must surely be saving up a massive chapter for that! Some of my highlights of this chapter:
Hero-of-Time Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Reveal hidden contents Guys panel time was great. I can't wait to see him unleash. I wonder if Rock Lee will release the gates as well?
Kav Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Just finished FMA Brotherhood. Really enjoyed it, the last few episodes were particularly good... almost brought me to tears in a couple places!
-Dem0- Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Despite only being 4 chapters long, Volume 1 was a great read. I'm really liking the characters so far. Ed cracks me up! Especially when people mention anything to do with his height! Oh yeah, my Field of Colors art book has arrived. I took a few pics here: http://imgur.com/a/vC1DX#0
Blade Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 I'm buzzing watching this ant arc on hunter x hunter!! EDIT: Pun was not at all intended.
