I know I'm double posting here, but whetever

Toonami was pretty good tonight.

Bleach is... well Bleach, but at least it was new. Another fantastic episode of Deadman Wonderland (sad that it's going to be ending soon). Casshern Sins is actually starting to get interesting. Tonight's episode of Bebop was the one where Faye & Edward left the crew (always an emotional episode for me).

Tom's inspirational speach, about getting up no matter how many times life knocks you down, was cool. Reminded me of the old days where Toonami would have promos like it.

Also, on the AS Boards, I guess it's been going around that Jason DeMarco (the one in charge of Toonami) Tweeted that 5 "things" are comming soon for Toonami. That doesn't necessarily mean a new show, but that's obviously not out of the question (other guesses include the return of Sara, more game reviews, or even just an updated line-up featuring different anime in AS's stable, since GitS had it's final ep tonight, and Bebop's finishing up soon).

As for Madoka Magica, it's a magical girl show, but apparently gets really dark (they said it was the most popular show at the event).

It is. The best japanese animation series of the year. It's not your typical magical girl show.

@ person who wanted to know like 2 pages ago: Clannad is great . One of my favourites It is definitely worth watching if you like romance anime. It's kind of a harem/romance, but not your typical one and it's really good

I've heard it called the Evangelion of Magical Girl shows. That's an insult as far as I'm concerned.

An insult to which series?

Madoka.

Huh? NGE got a little wierd there at the end, that's for sure, but it was pretty good overall, IMO (Note: I haven't seen any of the movies, though).

I just found that while it had plenty of great ideas, it rarely executed them properly to make an anime that's consistently compelling beyond unintentional lulz and it was all over the place. And that's being nice.

Because a "robots deal with the end of the world" scenerio was so boring before. It's annoying how most people don't get the point of the series is, at least so far, is that it's basically a unique twist in the roadtrip movie type of story. Guy walks around just seeing interesting people dealing with the end of the world and their own sudden mortality. It's really interesting, even though admittedly it can sometimes be slow and Casshern can occasionally cross the line from understandably confused and depressed to terrible Final Fantasy emo character. BTW: I love the art, some of the best I've seen from tv anime. The characters really pop out and the backgrounds completely expose the overuse of the post-apocalyptic games as awful looking by comparison.

That being said, plot development will basically always interest me more so I do approve of a "focus on the villians" episode.

Well, seeing as how the Kingdom Hearts manga utterly butchered the events in the story (especially at the end), I won't be moving on to the sequels.

Any manga recommendations? I'm up to trying any genré, but I'd prefer something not too long (the 4 volumes of the KH manga seemed just about right, but I'm up for a little shorter or longer).

been watching initial D. Problem is i can't find series 3

Thats odd Netflix had it for stream but now they only have 1, 2, and 4. Its probably cause 3 was just a movie rather than a whole season.

K-on and Lucky Star are both only 4 vols. (maybe 5.) I highly highly suggest Bakuman even though it's 20 vols.

20 volumes seems to usually be about the average for manga people actually care about (except for internet beloved comedy manga apparently)

I just opted for Rurouni Kenshin

I know it's longer than I was initially looking for (it's 28 volumes), but I figured I'd give it a go. After only one chapter, I'm more pumped than I ever was at any point during the KH manga. So far, it's also just different enough from the anime to keep it fresh.

Just finished watching The Girl Who Leapt Through Time on YouTube (actually suprised it was so easy to find in it's entirety, dubbed too).

I thought it was a great film.

Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle is great! I'm on volume 17 right now out of 28 So far I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a good manga. Clamp is/are really talented
