Topic: Anime & Manga (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

that was the strangest crossover ever

Expecting or hoping? I absolutely loved Soul Eater the first time around & even managed to swallow the way they tied up (some of) the loose ends suprisingly quickly BUT I would have preferred it to have been split into more seasons so it could follow Soul & Maka once Soul becomes a deathscythe... even if it's to see Maka in her adorable "deathscythe" sailor fuku.

It's more likely they'll work on the Soul Eater spin-off first "Soul Eater Not!", I've started reading it and it's really good... I'm just a volume in so far. Then they'd work on a new 'HD' version.

about to start watching speed grapher on netflix.

Saw a thread on neogaf and so much Nostalgia

Man I would Pay for recorded versions of the toonami block.

finished up Death Note a few days ago, it was pretty good. The L arc was better than the latter half though u__u

No one disagrees.

Of course you had to post the one I have the most nostalgia of. The memories! They flood!

Man Speed Grapher is weird.

w00t! Can't wait to watch Madoka Magica Vol. 1 later today and see what all the fuss is about!

Birdy. What a series

Not sure if anyone has seen this series but I have been told it a good series. So anyone familiar with Fists of the North Star series? Like wheres a good place to start the series?

I've heard of Fist of the Norh Star. It's a fighting anime, right? I hear it's good. I myself have never checked it out though.

I'm not sure what you're asking here...you can't just start from the beginning?

Well when I look up Fist of the North Star I see several series like an 80's series and a New Fist of the North Star series. Problem is I can seem to find the 80's to watch right now and I dont have the money to buy the series now so do I need to watch that one before New Fist of the North Star to understand whats going on?

New Fist of the North Star is just a 3 episode OVA, which is apparently a spin-off based on a novel. So yeah, you would need to watch the original before you watch this new one. Besides, the original series is on Hulu and Crunchyroll, so it's not like you have to spend money you can't afford.

Hmmm not familiar with Crunchyroll. As for Hulu that gives me a reason to check out Hulu on the Wii .

Guys, just watch Angel Beats. Right now. You won't regret it. Just watch. I haven't seen an anime that I've enjoyed so much in a while since Clannad.

I'm currently checking out the OVAs for Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou. They're cute, but it's a bummer that they don't cover as much as the manga (though that's to be expected). It'd be cool if the series could get a proper anime, but then again, there's a lot of manga series that I'd like to see animated...

Welcome to the club, mac. It really is a great show, one of the most emotionally gratifying I've seen.

Anyways, I've been rewatching One Piece and I just got through the Arlong Arc. That was the arc that most people consider the point where One Piece gets awesome, and I can see why: that's the point where the action actually becomes great. The fights against Morgan, Buggy, Kuro, and Don Krieg were all cool, but they weren't really that memorable. These fights, though, might actually stick with me. It was the first time Luffy was actually vulnerable, the first time it actually felt like they could lose (though I knew they wouldn't). That's kinda what this series has been missing so far. It really ramps up the intensity. Also, Arlong's themed attacks make him the coolest villian so far.

Up next: 16 episodes of pure, unadulterated, Grade A filler.

I've saw it a while a go. I was sad when it finished. Though i'm still a little confused about the ending.

I spent all of yesterday watching anime. I started with My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute and watched it all the way through, including the specials. The show was pretty cute, even if I preferred the secondary girls to the protagonist. Then again, that made the specials even more enjoyable, since Kuroneko is pushed to the starring role alongside Kyosuke...

I followed up with six episodes of Listen to Me, Girls. I Am Your Father, which was also pretty good. Though lately it seems I've been watching/reading a lot of stuff where a single guy suddenly ends up a parent, I'm still not tired of it. With only six more episodes to go, it feels like it'll be a little short (then again, that's one more episode than Usagi Drop got). I'm looking forward to the rest of them, nonetheless...

Finally I watched five episodes of Azumanga Daioh before going to sleep. I've been meaning to watch this for a while after reading the manga, so I'm glad I get the chance. Hearing Chiyo-chan's voice alone makes this worth watching and it also tells me that if Yotsuba&! were animated, it'd be an overdose of cuteness...

@GundamMac: Nice. I've also been feeling like revisiting some of the past One Piece fights, but after watching the movies last month, I'm satisfied for the time being. The fight against Arlong is awesome indeed, especially once Luffy gets involved. Still, Johnny and Yosaku could've taken those fishmen, they just barely lost...
