Posted February 12, 2012 I'm starting to think that the person with special eyes Naruto is going to fight isnt Sasuke but Tobi. Also how much longer will Shippuden go on for? How far ahead is the Manga? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 12, 2012 VIZ Media has forced MangaStream to stop releasing the Jump mangas. Dear MangaStream supporter, It's with a heavy heart that I make the following announcement. MangaStream will no longer be releasing the following series: - Naruto - Bleach - One Piece - Hunter x Hunter - Katekyo Hitman Reborn - Claymore - D.Gray-man VIZ Media has demanded that we end our scanlation work for all of the above. This comes despite our best efforts to pursuade fans into supporting official distributors by being the only group to actively prevent an archive from forming on their website through the removal of chapters that are older than a couple weeks. They've succeeded in little more than invoking inconvenience to the community as their digital magazine missed the mark; it runs several issues behind and only features 3 of the above series. So long as their product continues to be slow, awkward and inferior to something a ragtag group of nobodies can churn out in a few hours - fans will continue to look to scanlation groups and aggregators for their weekly fix. The aggressive and escalating nature of their threats have forced our hand into removing the content. MangaStream will no longer be posting full scanlations for any of the aforementioned series, we will instead focus our efforts onto the series we do that are not licensed by VIZ Media (you can assume everything currently on our directory will be continued). Our final message to our loyal JUMP audience will be this: Thank you for supporting us over the past two years and making Mangastream your home away from home. It was a pleasure sharing our time with fans who were just as passionate and dedicated as we were. Although MangaStream will no longer be hosting any of the Jump series, if it's something our fanbase is interested in, we're considering leveraging our connections to bring you accurate spoiler summaries for the Jump chapters as early as possible. We know this isn't much, but hope it can whet your appetite until the dozens of aggregators release the official Jump chapters on Wednesday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 15, 2012 Well I didnt want to but I couldnt help myself. I've started reading the Naruto manga because I dont want to wait to know what happens next. It doesnt appear to be that far ahead of the show from what i can tell. Never read Manga before so it took me a few pages to understand where to read from as I couldnt grasp it at first, me being a dumb ass and all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 16, 2012 Man way to get through a series in a hurry what will you do when you're all caught up? Be careful not to post spoilers now you're ahead of many of us! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 16, 2012 I find the Naruto anime is a lot weaker than it's manga counterpart. The animation just doesn't seem to stack up most of the time. I'm much more a manga reader than an anime watcher these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 16, 2012 I find the Naruto anime is a lot weaker than it's manga counterpart. The animation just doesn't seem to stack up most of the time. I'm much more a manga reader than an anime watcher these days. This was true for a while, especially early Naruto and again in early Shippuuden. But I think for the last 6-12 months, the animation has been consistently strong. One anime that I have really begun to dislike in favour of the manga though is Bleach. The anime for that is so, so slow. The pacing is awful, it's punctuated with very drawn out and poor humour which is accompanied by annoying music. They have completely killed a series which is pretty difficult to take seriously in the first place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 17, 2012 Huh, it's funny I defended shippuuden in that way, but 250 was one episode that was completely ruined by clunky, poorly drawn animation :/ despite it having a cool moment and a good fight scene in it, I couldn't enjoy it at all because of the quality.

Some awful animation, completely ruined the action Oh yeah, plz use spoilers, theres a lot of non manga readers and people who've just started watching.

That's really odd as I've thought that the animation has been poor for ages although that fight was animated well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) Thats the Manga done until a new issue lol. I cannot wait to see some of this animated, bloody good stuff. edit - Anyone know of a place I can watch One Piece? I've been looking at DVD's but none have been released here from what I can gather ontop of that when dubbing the eps into english they missed a shitload out. Any sites that stream it?

Posted February 19, 2012 Actually they recently started redubbing and rereleasing One Piece on dvd. The original dub was an abomination, heavily cut, released out of sequence and poorly voiced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 27, 2012 The latest episode's ending I'm expecting this encounter to end badly though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 15, 2012 Did any of you ever see the live action Gantz or Death Note movies and if so, were they any good? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 15, 2012 Shingeki No Kyojin It's pretty damn good and is really starting to draw me in even more. Loving it, I recommend it highly! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 16, 2012 Did any of you ever see the live action Gantz or Death Note movies and if so, were they any good? The first live action Death Note movie was pretty decent, actually. Stayed very close to the source material. I think you'd like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 16, 2012 Did any of you ever see the live action Gantz or Death Note movies and if so, were they any good? Gantz was absolutely terrible. The first was kind of okay, it gives you that "wow" factor seeing it all in live action but after that there's just no redeeming aspects about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 16, 2012 Thanks guys, i'll probably get the Death Note blu ray at some point, comes with 1 and 2 so I can give them both a watch. I'll probably give Gantz a miss. Also just finished watching the latest Persona 4 episode. I really love this series. Gets incredibly cheesy at times but I think im probably more forgiving of that when I know where it comes from in the game. Cant wait for the blu ray. Just wish they'd announce if the dub will be done by the original US cast like the Japanese side was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 9, 2012 Heads up to Eureka Seven fans, AO premiers this Thursday so subs will probably appear later that night or Friday morning. Currently reading Mobile Suit Gundam because it finally got a second print in English. It's a novelization of the very original series written by the guy who directed the anime and it's a pretty good read and contains all 3 of the original novels in one book. There's quite a few differences as well so I'd definitely recommend it to any of you who might be Gundam fans, whether you've watched the original anime or not.

Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) Any sites that stream it? I watch One Piece on watchop. here's the link. unless of course you've already found one. http://www1.watchop.com/one-piece-episodes/ The Naruto anime is pretty good but my main problem is the huge amount of fillers. I thought I had a built up a good number of episodes to watch, how wrong was I pretty much the entire season 11 was fillers. fortunately I have around 50/60 chapters to read in the manga, I'm going to wait until I've got around 100 chapters.
