Topic: Anime & Manga (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

Holy crud Angel Beats can get depressing for a bit. I really didn't expect that coming in.

But it's a show about dead people.

Well I just finished the show. ...wait. What are these? Are these tears!? Oh Crap, I'm crying! My goodness! That ending. Just so touching. I haven't cried like that for an anime in a long time! Angel Beats was a real fun and entertaining anime!

Well, another fun Toonami Saturday night.

Bleach was decently funny, Deadman Wonderland continues to be awesome, and Casshern Sins continues to do whatever it's doing, lol.

They did a review for some free horror indie game, and I can't remember it's name, lol. I'm not much into horror anyways, so I probably wouldn't have played it even if I had remembered.

I just watched Acchi Kocchi and that has to be the most adorable anime out there. So kewt~~~ ♥^__^♥

@SMEXI Have you seen Waiting in the Summer (aka Ano Natsu de Matteru)? I'm wating it right now and I like it a lot. It's Kinda like Please Teacher, except not nearly as stupid.

I skipped Bleach, mainly because I've been getting extremely tired of the filler arc. Deadman was indeed cool as always (only 3 episodes left!), but I was pleasantly surprised by Casshern. I've been quite enjoying it's analyzing of the meaning of life, but I'm glad we actually got some plot advancement this time. Casshern has a goal now!

Oh, also, the game was called Slender. It's based off of that Slenderman creepypasta. Funny review, reminded me of the Dropship one from way back when. [youtube:ygzh9DDaFJg]

@SilverBaretta
Always thought that was Kamina in your avatar for some reason, lol. I know now.
1 and a half episodes of Gurren Laggan. Jeez... SO MANY SPOILERS I WANT TO SAY!
Ima go finish it up.

No, Mickeymac. I'll have to check it out. Has romance in it I assume, since you're telling me about it?
I've been reading the manga for To LOVE-ru and it is a lot better than the anime!

Just finished watching Blue Exorcist,it was a really awsome show...now to find some clones or something.

Shouldn't be that hard...

Ano Natsu de Matteru ROX! Thanks for recommending it to me, Mickey

Oh man Bakuman 12 is so awesome. I'm having trouble putting it down! D:
Just finished it! Geez, that was a thrilling read.

What is your opinion on my music edit of this:

Music used from Doctor Who - The Caves of Androzani.

@Retro_on_theGo Bakuman is my favourite manga series. Totally awesome! Can't wait until Bakuman 13 comes out in america

K-on movie is finally out on DVD and Blueray in Japan meaning I can finally see it. I just finished watching it right now! It was a fun and cute movie! I actually enjoyed it more than it deserves to be. The movie definitely drags in the beginning, but at some point I just started having so much fun watching it. The change of setting and how the girls reacted, the bitter sweet realization that it's time to graduate, and the songs. At some point in the movie I went from 'this is ok' to 'I don't want this to end.' I'm a big fan of K-on so I completely understand that most people won't enjoy it as much as I did. The characters were just more lovable than ever, and while there was still some cringe worthy jokes there was also some genuinely funny moments.
Not that there's much to give away, but without ruining anything the ending is what really got me the most. Didn't tear up but it was really sweet. I seriously enjoyed the movie. I have no experience rating movies or anything like that so I wouldn't give it a score, but I recommend it! (If you're a fan of K-on. If not, the movie won't really connect as much with you.)

Bleach may have only been awesome for the first 3 series but the music stayed awesome later on when the show itself was crap. Stand up, be strong is an epic song. Does anyone know when it plays? I stopped watching before I heard it in the anime itself. I think it plays in a fight against Aizen.

I mentioned this in the Japan Discussion thread, but I figured it'd fit here too.

I was watching Imagine-Nation, and they had a special guest on tonight, Mamoru Hosada. He has directed such anime films as Gegege no Kitaro, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Summer Wars, and the newly released Wolf Children. They discussed that Wolf Children was about a woman who falls in love with a wolf man, and it follows the story of them, and their two children. They went behind the scenes and showed some of the animation cells & concept art, and it was revealed that he wanted the backgrounds in the film to be darker than usual, to coincide with the fact that the family has a secret to hide. They also showed various clips from three of his films.

I've never saw any of his films, but now I want to. They seem to have that certain magic you'd find in a Miyazaki film.

@RR529 Yeah, The Girl who Leapt Through Time and summer Wars were both great. Looking forward to Wolf Children. Hope it gets dubbed and released in English

It will. It has been licensed in Europe, and i supose it will happen or has just happened to arrive to the US market.
