Topic: Anime & Manga (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

I watched the first three episodes of Bastard!! on YouTube! (It's a six epidode OVA)

Long story short, 4 warlords are about to conquer the world (and soon thereafter release a monster that will destroy the world), and as a last ditch effort, the last vestages of civilization unseal a powerful sorcerer, in the hopes he will stop them (as he has world domination goals of his own).

I'm really enjoying this so far. I'm a big fan of the art style, the action is great, and the blend of lightheartedness & seriousness is perfect. It does tend to lean a bit heavy on the innuendo & fanservice, though.

I'd say it's kind of giving off the same vibes as Fatal Fury II: the New Battle & Fatal Fury: the Motion Picture, in terms of content.

Also, a bunch of stuff has been added, since I last watched this guy's stuff (on YouTube):

• Wrath of the Ninja - the Yotoden Movie
• Madox 01
• Wild 7: Biker Knights
• Wicked City
• Demon City Shinjuku
• Dominion Tank Police
• Bounty Dog

Any ideas if any of these are good?

Sorry for the double post, BTW.

Checked out Servant x Service, and it was very funny! A little frenetic again though, but the main cast is excellent. The balance between mundane life and silliness reminds me a lot of the US Office.

So far, this season looks great for SoL fans!

My friend lent me Bakuman 18 and 19!!!! So excited to read them!!!

Dominion Tank Police is a really fun watch, and Madox 01 was okay from what I remember. Wrath of the Ninja is apparently pretty good, but I haven't seen it myself (yet). Also, stay far away from Wicked City.

Thanks for the reply. I'll probably watch Dominion Tank Police once I'm done with B**tard!!, and Wrath of the Ninja & Madox 01 sometime later on.

I'll eventually get around to the one's you didn't have an opinion on, also.

I watched the first 2 episodes of Hellsing and they were pretty awesome.

So I've been watching RahXephon and Welcome to the NHK lately. I'm liking both of them a lot. I'm hoping they both turn out well.

I forgot to mention an upcoming anime film called Short Peace, that was briefly mentioned on Imagine-Nation last week.

It's going to be a compilation that features 5 different short films, each directed by a famed anime director. Sounds interesting.

This is the greatest thing I've ever seen!

Black rock shooter got a lot of hype and the OVA was amassing, but I felt that the actual anime came up short.

Still awsome though

Oh. My. God.
I LOVED vol. 18 of Bakuman! That was so amazing!!! Hiramaru!

Best wedding proposal EVER!! <3 END SPOILER

Finished up watching the last 3 episodes of B*stard!! tonight.

I really enjoyed this one (definitely up there with my favorite OVAs), although it didn't have a concrete ending (this OVA series was supposed to run for 8 episodes, and cover the first arc of the manga, but they only made the first 6).

I'll eventually probably try out the manga (although it's long. It started in 1988, and is still going...).

_{I realize it's a title, but let's use one asterisk please -Lz}

So I'm watching episode 2 of WATAMOTE and she says: "There's a lot of animes aimed at moe pigs this season."
. . .
This is gonna be a good show.

Read the newest chapter of Bleach today!

SPOILERS

All of Ichigo's friends & family were given guest passes, that will allow them to visit Soul Society anytime they want, in the event Ichigo becomes too powerful to live in the human world after his training. Also, parts of Soul Society are starting to vanish, as it merges with the world the Vandenreich headquarters is in (the battle is drawing near!)

SPOILERS END

There won't be any new chapters for the next 5 weeks, though (grumble grumble...)

I've been re-watching a few anime on Netflix, and I thought I'd just post a couple of quick thoughts:

-It's weird that I always seem to forget this until I re-watch it, but the last decade has been kind to Samurai Champloo. That show still looks flat-out gorgeous.

-SPOILER, I GUESS Even though most of it occurs off-screen, Diva's rape and murder of Riku in Blood+ is still one of the most genuinely shocking and heart-breaking moments I've ever seen in an anime.END OF SPOILER

HO! LY! ****!!
I finished vol. 19 of Bakuman! That was too much! Oh god! D: The duo has to face their biggest obstacle yet as they're coming so close to their dream! I got really emotional during this one! Hahaha. I'm so excited to see how this all ends. Next volume, 20, is the final one. Next month. I can't wait.

I read volume 15 of Bakuman a couple of days ago, this manga is almost inspiring to me. Especially since I've had some thoughts recently about trying to get into creative writing, so it's really interesting to me.

This volume really got me with its sense of casual optimism despite Mashiro feeling distant from normal people and just seeing one man in a pathetic state because he got into the business years before and wasted his life and another scared of being in the same situation.

Toonami Saturday night!

Bleach - Missed it.

Naruto - Missed it.

One Piece - A deadly match of "Red Light, Green Light"? Ok, I'm ready for this arc to end.

Soul Eater - Well played, wolf guy, well played. Also, the part at the end was a giant mind****.

IGPX - Didn't watch.

Eureka 7 - Okay, looks like stuff is about to hit the fan.

Fairy Tail all of a sudden got really good once they started fighting Phantom. Which is good because I was considering dropping it.
