Topic: Anime & Manga (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

I stumbled upon a Dragon Ball Z, One Piece!, & Toriko crossover on YouTube, lol.

In general, it was about a race where the winner would get to eat some sort of rare meat, so of course, Goku, Luffy, & the guy from the other show, just had to compete. (the only rule was that flying was forbidden, probably so the non-DBZ characters could be relevant)

It was pretty humorous though. There were some OP characters I didn't recognize, like a skeleton guy. (Oh, and of course, Master Roshi had to hit on Nami)

@RR529 - There's a second one of those specials out there, and it's pretty good. You gotta check it out.

Are you referring to the second part where they fought that fish monster?

Just started the Greed Island Arc in Hunter X Hunter (2011). The last arc was fantastic through and through, and I kinda doubt this'll top it, but it still looks like a ton of fun. They're inside a video game for Nen Users. Gon and Killua learn special Nen powers. Should be good stuff.

Yes. That's a separate episode, IIRC.

Watched Eureka 7: A Pocketful of Rainbows on YouTube tonight.

That was an odd movie. Not only was it a wildly different reimagining of the series, but large parts of it were made up by recreating scenes from the series (only altering dialog to fit the new story, and adding/subtracting a character from that particular scene). I'm still not exactly sure what was going on, lol.

So I'm up to date on Silver Spoon now, and it's a truly lovely series so far. It tackles the slice of life/coming of age story with a refreshing subtlety, and the casual morality discussions interspersed among some really humorous moments gives the show depth. I can't wait to see where the characters all end up!

Watamote is fun so far

Good to hear. I'm waiting for a few more episodes to come out before start it,

Yeah, that was the only show this season that caught any amount of my interest. But it's a comedy, so I'll probably watch one episode and then never touch it ever again.

I finished THE UNLIMITED Hyobu Kyosuke and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm curios to know what the Zettai Karen Children timeline is though, because if this spin-off is the latest story chronologically then I'll definitely have to keep my eye on the ZKC series.

Glad you liked The Unlimited, @V8_Ninja. I haven't finished it yet, but from what I've seen, I'm actually ready to call it the best show released this year. Granted, it's been a terrible year in my eyes, but I'd still say it was really good nonetheless, and I look forward to finishing it.

BTW, I'm 6 episodes into Space Battleship Yamato 2199...and I don't want to jump the gun but...I think I may have found a new favorite show. I'll explain more when I've seen more, because I really don't know how much I'm really enjoying and how much is just nostalgia, because much like Gundam UC, this is pretty much the loveletter to old anime I've been searching for.

Wow, episode 13 did it. I absolutely love Attack on Titan. This is really good stuff. I was shouting and fist pumping at what Eren succeeded in, hahaha.

Bleach episode 133, best filler ever. I was actually on the floor laughing at one point. (It was the episode with the Kendo.)

WOOHOO! Time for K-on College! And I'm gonna get it for only $6.66 later today! X3 Thank you Barnes and Nobles coupon!!

Your Barnes & Nobles sells Anime? Lucky...I'm forced to go to FYE, where Ten-year-old Volume One DVDs can sell for $40....

Rightstuf > retailers that no longer even pretend to care if they carry anime or not

Oh Gods, episode 75 of Hunter X Hunter is the worst cliffhanger I could possibly have left off on....I'm gonna have to watch at least one more episode now...

Toonami Saturday night!

Bleach - Missed most of it due to my parents' silly obsession with the trash that is Honey Boo Boo, but I caught the end where Aizen was being sealed.

Naruto - Ah, the clone wars, lol. Naruto finally got the chance to be a little kick-a** without going into fox mode.

One Piece - The battle (if you want to call it that) between Luffy & Foxy continues. Luffy's resolve for his crew shows, but the effect of it is seriously lessened, thanks to the silliness of the whole ordeal.

Soul Eater - Death & Kishin face off! Just when things were getting good, Kishin runs off, though. Oh, and it looks like we're not quite done with Medusa...

Sword Art Online - This episode was fantastic! The fluid animation, vibrant colors, and intense action were a spectacular sight. It was insanely corny when the group labelled Kirito as a "Beater" (Beta Testing Cheater) though. Seriously, WTH, lol.

IGPX - Didn't watch.

Eureka 7 - This episode had some spectacular action, but there were some things here I'm not quite grasping. Firstly, what is "desperation disease", and why did it's victims suddenly start moving again (were they perhaps the people whose minds resided in the control cluster, seeing as how it was destroyed just before their activity)? Secondly, what made the Compact Drive inside Dewey so special (why did everything go to s*** when his was destroyed, when it doesn't appear to be different from the others)?

Also, they reviewed Metal Gear Solid Legacy Collection, and gave it a 9.5/10

After snooping around on the AS message boards, it appears that info on Eureka 7's replacement has been leaked.

Apparently after it's conclusion next week, it'll be replaced by the Star Wars: the Clone Wars cartoon.

This is an understandable move, as E7 isn't a new series (so they don't have to replace it with something new), and since SAO just premiered, but I have mixed feelings on the matter.

Negatively, it's Star Wars (which I feel is terribly oversaturated), and it's an ugly CGI show.

Positively, it's Star Wars (sigh, it'll probably be good for ratings, despite it's age), the change keeps the block fresh, and as the 3rd recycled show from CN (4th if you count IGPX), I guess this means it's likely they'll eventually get to a CN show I'll be interested in (like Teen Titans, Justice League, or maybe Young Justice, which I haven't yet seen).

Sorry for the double post by the way.

As in like a really really bad ending? as in quality wise not good? or is it just really out there/weird? I haven't watched it in a good while now, so chances are I'll probably never finished it and I hate dropping anime.

currently watching Persona 4 and loving it, trying to decide if I wanna rewatch Clannad/After Story. was watching the Flower Field/Train scenes with Tomoya and Ushio on youtube and started crying, which is weird because i didn't cry when i was watching the anime.

Loving Watamote, one of the few anime I look forward to on a week to week basis along with To Aru Kagaku no Railgun S right now. And loving all the other shows I'm keeping up with atm.
