Anime and manga discussion

[ShadowV7]

There's next to no info on it so far. We're supposed to get news before the year/early 2009. Just that it's supposed to air in Spring, pressumed to be April after Gundam 00's run.

[Happenstance]

Ah right, thanks

[ShadowV7]

So volume 3 of the DeathNote anime and The Last Name is out on Monday. Since I get the special DeathNote edition of the anime for a figure, I dunno whether to get the Misa or Ryuk figure with volume 3. I'm thinking about Ryuk since I like him more, but I want them all

[Guest Maase]

Death Note manga is much better than the anime, because original = better (allways, no exception)

 

Also, the manga second ark is MUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH BETTER than the anime second ark, and Near is much more cool in the Manga

[ShadowV7]

The movies FTW! Only because I prefer that ending

 

The manga is better than the anime I think, has more in it and a bit more detail and a nice epilogue.

Hey, I just noticed, Eien no Anime have subbed the Lucky Star OVA. Can anyone give any clues as to the quality of there subs?

[Hellfire]

Lucky Star ftw, the OVA is awesome. I liked the subs darkcloud.

All hail Minoru, Akira is hot!

Saw chapter 9 of Bakuman now, i am noticing the traces of Death Note coming

 

So, an adversary, he looks just as smart as L, this time he's clearly a jerk, though

[ShadowV7]

Well it seems that the Bleach fillers have ended now, and it's restarting next week.

[Supergrunch]

Second episode of Clannad was pretty funny, it seems they're going to do some of the minor arcs before they get onto after story proper. Unless they do "another world" like with the Tomoyo arc, I imagine we won't get the Kyou/Ryou arc or the Yukine arc. There are still a fair few they can do though. Anyway, was nice to see them cover more of the story with the girl in the "ended world" or however you translate it.

Ga-Rei Zero ep1 was interesting.

Ga-Rei Zero ep1 was interesting.

 

Just watched that myself, thought it seemed just ok throughout and wasnt sure if id carry on with anymore. Seeing that ending though has got me interested.

Holy shit at Detroit Metal City 7! I've never laughed this much with an anime before in my life!

 

Everyone should check this series out, though fansub releases seem to be slow as of late.

The reason for fansub being slow is because Detroit Metal City is OVA series which comes out every two weeks.

[darkcloud]

Wow, the Lucky Star OVA was awesome.

 

I also watched Kemeko Deluxe ep 1, and it was pretty crazy. :-/ I mean it was funny, but, the crazyness is what has stuck in my mind. I'll keep watching though. lol

DMC is really really big in Japan, there are lots of toys and my friends brought a HMV catalog filled with DMC stuff, the cover and back was filled with stuff from the live action.

I did enjoy that episode. Quite funny. Really looking forward to more.

 

Also, I've fallen completely in love with After Story's opening song. It's as fantastic as the opening song to the first series. :heart:

Fuck yeah, high five!

Okay started my Anime watching again this evening!

 

CLANNAD After Story is where I Started. awesome. This sho is just so magical, I love seeing the characters back on my screen.

 

Then I started two new shows Haykko or something which is a slice of life school anime thing and it wasfairly entertaining though after watching it I realised nothing had happened.

 

The other is Kemeko which is one of the most mental animes I've seen. It's about some random girl who hides in this powerful Kemeko machine which looks like a short fat woman with green hair, and the rest goes on from there. Insane but prettyy funny. I'm just hoping it goes somewhere....

Anyone reading the Naruto manga scans? That last line was awesome
