Topic: Anime & Manga (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

Crimany, Crunchyroll got that. I was hoping it would be someone else so I didn't have to see those hideous episode cards.

I'm at barnes and nobles and they have so much manga!! X3 Is Genshiken, Heroman, Gate 7, Kanagai, any good?

Kannagi's anime was good at least. Not sure why the manga would be worse.

I've heard good things about Genshiken. It's a bit like Bakuman. IIRC.

Heroman's anime sucked. The manga is pretty similar as far as I can tell. It's got a good idea, but it's ultimately pretty cliche and boring.

Gate 7's CLAMP, so it should be good, but other than that, I don't know. Might want to read up on it first.

I decided to put Guilty Crown aside. I'll pick it back up eventually, since it seems like something I'd really like, but I just can't get myself to watch on Funimation's channel. Not for 22 episodes, at least.

Instead, I'm watching Broken Blade, a sci-fi/Fantasy mecha series about a world where everything is powered through Manipulable quartz "Magic". Unlike other shows, it's a series of "Movies", though each episode is only about 55 minutes long, so it's more like Gundam Unicorn and Code Geass: Akito the Exiled, where it's an OVA with theatrical showings. In fact, it came out around the time Gundam Unicorn did. It seems to be becoming a trend...and so far, I'm happy with it. In Broken Blade for instance, the level of detail in the mecha designs and animation really left me in awe. The way they move, the way the look, the way they get damaged, the way everything has weight to it - it really makes them seem so believable, and the action more intense! The story is good, too, at least so far. I don't know how much I should say about it, but I'm really getting intrigued. I can't wait to watch more. Too bad the episodes are longer than usual, otherwise I'd be halway done already.

@canis I found a mech anime that you might like, it's called Lagrange: The Flower of Rin-ne or the other way of calling it is rinne no lagrange.

About time we got a new One Piece opening. I was concerned for a moment that we wouldn't get one for Punk Hazard (which is easily one of my favourite arcs so far).

Toonami Saturday night!

Bleach - Yahoo! They got Ai...
Oh, nevermind (ouch).

Naruto - Setting up for the next arc, and some funny moments.

Soul Eater - Yeah, do they not realize that the doctor is the same person who just attacked them? (seriously, Maka's father should have at least known. He acts the fool, but he's supposed to be one of the most powerful characters introduced thus far).

ThunderCats - Repeat.

Sym-Bionic Titan - Repeat.

Eureka 7 - Aw, everyone got to have their sweet moments. Now, off to invade the capitol! (seriously, who didn't see the crews' choice coming?)

Tenchi Muyo! GXP - This episode wasn't bad, but not memorable either.

I loved the new opening! Also, anyone notice how it shows the strawhats in a similar way to the "One Day" opening? but this time they're all happy, this opening is a happy one overall, very catchy too!

Oh Awesome! More people get to watch One Piece. Always a plus. I'll have to find time to watch Toonami then.

Question... I was watching gunslinger girl on Netflix ... Enjoying season 1 ... Even my wife was into it.... Then season 2 comes totally different from the first season?!? I honestly stop watching... Any reason why the sudden change?

Geez... The new Beyblade is thiiiiis close to toping Yu-Gi-Oh for most ridiculous hair styles.

I did it! I just watched episode 8 of binbogami-ga! Wooooo! On to episode 9! Rindo is so cool.
EDIT: haha! Episode 9 was great! It real one me over. That pizza scene was so unnecessary but hilarious! XD I love this show. It's like a cartoon drawn as anime.

Netflix is very unpredictable in terms of the order of episodes on any given show. My guess is unless the drastic change was part of the plot, Netflix skipped a season.

It moved to a completely different studio and director. Also because Moe was becoming popular.

There are only two seasons. Again, I suggest looking up shows you don't know about...

My bad. I was just supposing the probably, since I have seen such instances on Netflix before. But I'll be sure to check sources before responding in the future.
EDIT: Or was that aimed at @arrmixer?

Gunslinger Girl any good?

Well I hope you're happy @CanisWolfred! Go my way or Make my day or whatever is stuck in my head! >:[ I've been singing the chorus all day.

You, and I only meant for little things like that. You can quick see on Wikipedia and ANN stuff like what studio it is or what length the show is. I heard a lot about Gunslinger Girl on anime websites, so I know a little more about it than you'd get from a quick look on it's ANN page.

Plus it can be hard to find articles like this: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/gunslinger-girl/il-tea...

@caniswolfred
