Topic: Anime & Manga (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

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 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.

I was actually going to start Casshern Sin in August.

Watched both seasons, ye?

Good man!

Aye, cap'n. After Story really tied it together nicely

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).

Azumanga Daioh is only 4 volumes and FLCL is 2.

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

could not find anything decent to watch so now im moving to a longer anime....im starting Fullmetal Alchemist,im use to watching animes with 20 episode but now moving on to the bigger ones.

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.

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

Thanks for the suggestions! I might try to find Azumanga Daioh.

It's pretty common in bookstores as a complete omnibus edition if that helps.

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.

Still waiting for Volume 13 of Bakuman to be in America

One Piece Season 4: Voyage One comes out next week! Yay!

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

Bleh, me too. Sucks being caught up now, since I have to wait in between volumes. lol

Edit: So I'm up to episode 6 of The Money of Soul and Possibility Control. This is really interesting so far.
