Anime and manga discussion

[martinist]

Picked up Shippuuden again, about 130 or so episodes behind you guys though. Not doing anything for the rest of the week so I might as well have a monster Shippuuden marathon to see how far i can get ^_^

Summer-time anime

[Ellmeister]

Can't see anything on that list except first 3 for some reason, but highschool of the Dead should be awesome! The manga is really good and its different.

[Ashley]

That's a shame because Mitsudomoe is based on your life!

[Coolness Bears]

I am interested to see how Kuroshitsuji 2 works, I don't think it will be as good as the first since the characters of Sebastian and Ciel were too good. (and the supporting cast)

 

The first one is great.

"The sense of Wonder" Interviews & Scans

 

To tomorrow

 

Just believe strongly in the tomorrow that is yet unseen...

 

I'll take you and run from here

Instead of hesitating, wherever you go,

I'll entrust my wishes in your hand

along with the dawn

 

Emptiness and hollowness

and the dry, sleepless nights

Changing all of it into smiles

That's what it means to protect you

 

The long night is dawning

I won't forget you

On this same earth

paint out the unfulfilled dream

 

I'll paint it onto this same sky...

 

 

 

Does it look like they can win the war?

I'm going to make a snack now

You'll have some too, right?

I have tea too

There's everything here

 

I'd like some alcohol too, but I don't have anymore

I was lying before, there's really nothing here

Those are old memories

Old memories of an old world

This is a library

I know. I've known for quite a while now

That it will be over soon

*scratches himself* Fleas

It's okay, I can't complain

Besides, old memories

aren't needed by anyone anymore

 

Taking them out isn't allowed......

Sorry

It's too bad, I can't go with you

But I'm glad I was able to meet you two in the end

 

Goodbye

112 eps into shippuuden, should be all caught up by the end of next week. Maybe a bit earlier than that. wooo

[Jonnas]

B

Newtype's best characters of each decade

 

...Why is Tifa on that list?

[Nolan]

...Why is Tifa on that list?

 

And why is there so much Gundam?

[martinist]

All caught up with Shippuuden. Over 130 episodes in three days isn't bad.

[Ike]

Found a region 1 listing of Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya complete season 2 due out in August, hopefully we'll get it not long after!

[Emerald Emblem]

I wonder if I can wait that long.

 

Finished watching my new Kanon 2006 DVD's, still as wonderful as I remember and a really good dub too.

[Ike]

Found out they are releasing The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya movie as well, but no date has been announced yet

[Raining_again]

9 tails?

 

4th hokage?

 

planetary devastation?

 

 

 

bloody hell.

bloody hell.

 

Just you wait for when the anime reaches to the current point in the manga. The Pain arc is definitely one of my favourites from Part II of the series, but holy shit recent happenings in the manga have me shitting cathedrals.

 

But for fellow users who're reading the manga..

 

Hooooly sheeeet! I knew as soon as Kushina mentioned in the last chapter she was the previous Jinchuuriki, some thing as child birth was responsible. But I didn't think Madara would play a part in it, especially to the extent of kidnapping Naruto

 

[Raining_again]

I was SO CLOSE to quotereplyingspoiled, you nearly got me!!!

 

shitting cathedrals, that sounds fun! xD

 

I don't know how it could get any better =P

 

My heart just melted when the 4th jumped in and rescued him! ;____; I'm sure the next one will be a sad one!

 

[Nolan]

I really didn't like how they handled this last episode. It was rather shitty for fights imo.

[Raining_again]

I really didn't like how they handled this last episode. It was rather shitty for fights imo.

 

I've definitely seen better fights wise... Like the last time

 

that naruto let the tails out in his battle with orchimaru

 

 

it was all flashy and speedy, nothing to scream and shout about. Exciting but not as exciting as it COULD have been.

[Debug Mode]

My heart just melted when the 4th jumped in and rescued him! ;____; I'm sure the next one will be a sad one!

 

Yeah I was the same when that happened, it was such a feel good moment through out all the shit that's hitting the fan!

[Raining_again]

when foxy gathered those little red and black chakra clouds, it just didnt seem quite as awesome this time round. last time i was like zomg holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii~

 

but Pain's ultimate push thing has like destroyed a bigger space anyway. really anticlimatic.

 

i did like the claws to the face bit, that made me laugh! IN. YOUR. FACE. BITCH.

 

[Shino]

I'm torn between the cool story plots and animation, and the HORRENDOUS art style that animator used, jesus christ what was he thinking.

[martinist]

Shippuuden! I came...end of story

[Ike]

Hey One Piece fans, there's currently a petition going around in order to try and get MangaUK to release the series in the UK. The reason why they won't licence it at the moment is because the series costs a lot to buy from Toei and MangaUK don't think there is enough demand for the series for them to pay that much, this is also why we don't have other Anime in the UK such as Dragon Ball.

 

Normally I don't think petitions work but MangaUK have taken an interest in it so it's worth a shot. So if anyone could possibly sign the petition and help out, it would be better to sign if you intend to buy the DVDs if they get released though you can still sign if you don't plan on buying them :P

 

The link to the site: http://onepieceuk.co.cc/

 

I believe a Facebook group is going to be setup soon as well, I'll post a link when it is.

[Debug Mode]

I think It'd be a very bad idea to bring it out here, MangaUK barely get any sales any way, never mind an anime that has already ripped to shreds by the majority of people I know thanks to the perception of the series caused by the monstrosity that was the 4Kids version.
