Topic: Anime & Manga (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

@RR529 Looks like the best Toonami line-up that I've seen for a while. Batman and Star Wars both bored me when trying to watch them that late.

I don't know if they still have rights to every show they used to air, but seeing Dragon Ball Z, Bobobo, or even some Gundam back on there would be nice.

They're supposedly going to start airing the "uncut" version of DBZ Kai in a few months (my guess is when Bleach ends, because it's almost over).

I didn't like the first season of Nisekoi at all, and that's that I like watching romantic comedies. I thought the story was bland and never went anywhere.

Watching Higurashi When They Cry now, I never got a chance to watch it before but I am watching it now and enjoying it, finished Bleach, up to date on One Piece, finished the second season of Space Dandy and now I got to see what I'm going to watch after HWTC.

If they could just show Stardust Memories one more time...

I know that I'm more than a decade late to the party, but...

OH MY GOD STEAMBOY IS AMAZING AND YOU NEED TO WATCH IT!!! IT'S GOT ANIMATION THAT PUTS ALMOST EVERYTHING ELSE TO SHAME!!! THE PACING IS PHENOMENAL AND MAKES MOST HOLLYWOOD MOVIES FEEL LIKE CAROUSELS RIDES!!! IT'S SO GOOD!!!

_{But seriously, go watch Steamboy if you want to see a movie that can easily be listed in the top 10 greatest animated films of all time.}

I'll look forward to that, then! I had hoped it would be the original DBZ dub, but Kai is just as good since the original would take so long.

I've seen it. It's good, but it's badly hurt by a relative lack of compelling characters. There's like...1 1/2 of those, maybe.

Time for a manga update, I suppose.

Holyland - Started reading due to recommendations, and have read 25 chapters so far. I do like the detailed explanation of the fighting techniques, and the deeply realistic nature of the fights gives it a really unique feel (these people are normal in every aspect, and they way every single hit is a game changer makes that clear). That said, I'm not too hot on the art style, and the narrative has thus far failed to grasp me (I've just never been big on stories centered around gang life, even if Yuu isn't your typical delinquent).

Tenjo Tenge - Started reading after looking for something similar to Kenichi, and am 25 chapters in here as well. Like with the above, I'm mixed on it. On the one hand the action is fun (and there's a lot of it), I like the art style (has that "90's" feel to it), and the story is the tried and true tale of two clans who have been battling for centuries (which while not revolutionary, is nice). On the other hand, it can at times be a bit more crude with it's fanservice than I'd like (a particularly distasteful moment was the way it depicted one of the villains "forcing himself", to be gentle with the language, on one of the minor female cast members), and surprising enough, there's even some racial stereotyping of the one black character, that I didn't know existed outside of American media (It's all to willing to depict his physical strength, and excellence in other "aspects", as largly a natural circumstance of his racial makeup).

I'll probably drop one of the two (largly because I'm moving through them both too slowly), but I'm not sure which one yet (I'll probably flip a coin).

Tenjo Tenge starts out okay, and then goes downhill very, very fast...I would stop if I were you.

so, could someone recomend me a romance anime?
I'm in the mood for one of those romance animes that aren't harem nor ecchi....

The only anime I can think of that fits your parameters is Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions. It's a romantic comedy, but I hope you'll like the story as much as I did. Don't let the girl's medical eye patch fool you, she wears it just for show.

already watched! XD
and it was pretty good!

Alright, how about Engaged to the Unidentified? It has a little ecchi in it and one of the girls is a pervert but other than that I thought everything about this anime was very well done, it's one of my favorites.

yep watched already(I also liked this one)

In that case, I have nothing. If you don't mind a little ecchi you can try Inu x Boku SS. It's not amazing but at least the story is decent.

yeah I don't mind ecchi at all(just wasn't in the mood for it) I'll give this one a try!

Have you seen ToraDora, Clannad, or Kimi ni Todoke?

oh yeah, never finished Kimi ni Todoke!

You know, I had a whole list of Manga to read, but it was on my iPad before I had to do a factory restore...actually, I lost a LOT of good notes thanks to that...I gotta learn to back things up more often...

So anybody know any good manga to read? I need something to do while I listen to music...that doesn't involve reading poorly written game articles...
