Topic: Anime & Manga (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

Objection · 2009-04-17T03:20:19+00:00

I'm gonna start this off a little negatively but keep in mind this is merely my opinion. I despise Naruto (anime version): it is one the worst animes I have seen in the last few years, what with the DBZ-slow pace, poor animation, and worse dub. It's important to note that I think the manga is well-done, so it's not that they couldn't have done a better job. Shippuden is supposedly better, but it's a sign that people make a big deal of that when it takes 200+ episodes to get there. Anime I like: Ghost in the Shell (anything), Death Note, Code Geass (Season 1), Welcome to the NHK, YuYu Hakusho, AFRO SAMURAI, and anything by Miyazaki that isn't Spirited Away. edit 4/30/12: Title change to include manga

Well, I watched the prologue, or first three episodes (one to introduce each team) last night. I really enjoyed them. And that opening is just killer.

Indeed it is. I got it on my iPod, listen to it practically every day.

Black Paper Moon is nowhere near as amazing as Resonance, though it's still worth a few listens, IMO.

I can't help but feel that Soul Eater was at least partially influenced by Harry Potter.

I'm watching Kaiji right now, I highly, highly recommend it! It's an engrossing psychological thriller, basically, from what I've seen thusfar.

What shows have you seen?

Also, I'm posting this fan trailer for The East Blue Saga, because it's really well made, and definitely deserves more than a mere 74 views.

I haven't really watched anything in weeks. I have a bunch of shows that I'm part of the way through (or even most of the way through, in a couple of cases), but I just haven't been in the mood to watch anime lately.

The one that I didn't bother continuing just so happened to be one piece...

@Undead_Terror Go watch Vampire Knight. It will suck you right in. You should also go watch Hikaru No Go. These are some of the best animes I've seen.

2 animes I am considering to watch is pumpkin scissors or rurouni kenshin, if not these then I'm left with no choice but to rewatch or continue one piece.

I'd personally would go with Rurouni Kenshin. IIRC, it had some amazing fights towards the middle. Just stop around episode 67, when they end the Kyoto Arc.

The filler was so bad that a very successful anime series got cancelled before it could get to the next (and final) arc. To my knowledge, this has happened exactly once since then with Bleach.

So my assumption is I should be terrified of where the anime went.
