Topic: Anime & Manga (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

My number 1 rule of TVTropes is to only read a page when I've completed something and to read as little of the trope pages as possible.

THAT is why.

@ELI-ASH

You don't get it though, other than the fact that he' Luffy's brother, I know NOTHING about Ace.

Just a few things (although some have already been addressed)...

The reason AS revived the Toonami block, was because over the past few years, Anime viewership on AS had been dying (with many bumps made to make fun of that fact, constantly describing anime fans as shut ins who pirate everything). As an April Fool's joke last year, they showed a bunch of old Toonami shows, and with no advertising at all, DBZ alone rivalled Family Guy ratings. Because of that, Time Warner gave them the permission to fully revive the Toonami name as a last ditch effort to save anime on the block. Luckily, it worked wonders, and the block has grown exponentially since it's beginning.

Why I stop my summary after SAO, is because I don't really care about IGPX or Star Wars, I've seen FMA:B, Big O, and Cowboy Bebop recently (since AS shows them often), and although I do watch InuYasha, I go to bed right afterwards (and since I'm the only one here that likes it, I figured it's best to not bother you all with it anyways).

As for censorship, they blur out nudity (only happened in one episode of Tenchi Muyo! GXP), and beep out F*** (only a few times in Deadman Wonderland, from what I can remember), so even that is a rare case.

@Rocko52 Well thats unfortunate. At least you know its coming ...XD
If it makes you feel any better,The other day I read a major spoiler from reading a character bio from "Attack on Titan" >.<

here in brazil all chanels stoped airing animes(except Pokémon, Digimon, maybe Yu-Gi-Oh! and their endles rip-offs) it's really sad...

Well, hopefully it will turn out similar to Bellermere's death with me. I knew it was coming,but it still managed to be the most emotional scene I've seen in One Piece yet. Hopefully I'll not think about it too much, and when it happens, it will still hit me.

Because it's so well done you'll still feel most of the impact when it happens. Trust me.

Oops...I seem to have neglected to mention that the show I was talking about (episode 6) was Gurren Lagann.

I just finished chapter 400 of History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi!

SPOILERS

With Agaard (the Yami master) occupied with Shigure, Kenichi is able to get to the captured master, but is captured himself. Luckily, the old master isn't as senile as he's been leading on however, and breaks himself & Kenichi out.

Later, Kenichi & the gang go to Okinawa in order to raid a Yami hideout, that just so happens to be hidden in the U.S. military base...

Kenichi's masters battle through Yami's armed masters, and it all comes down to Apachai vs Agaard, and Kenichi vs Kokin! The battle between masters looks to have come to a close first, with Apachai having a hole punched through him! Did Apachai actually lose? What'll happen now?

SPOILERS END

Watamote is getting dangerously close to being too sad to be funny. Just...wow...

Well I haven't even started yet...

I thought it was like that right from the start...

Kill La Kill finally has a decently sized trailer! And it looks great.
...except for the power suit design...

EDIT: replaced the link with a subtitled version.

If you're talking about that suit with the underboob... I agree. It puts me off a little

Yes. She has a thing that can turn her cloths to steel...so why does she use it to create an armor that only partial covers her body? Damn anime logic...

Just watched the first two episodes of Full Metal Alchemist. Pretty awesome show there. I'm gonna be having some fun.

You talking brotherhood or regular FMA, I mean they're both good but Brotherhood is better (and it follows the manga).

Indeed. You're in for a ride with either show. Although more so with Brotherhood.

I'm not watching Brotherhood, I decided to watch the first one first.

Just finished up chapter 425 of History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi!

SPOILERS

The battle between masters has come to an end with Yami's Agaard K.O.ed and Ryozanpaku's Apachai... Dead!?

With the death of one of his beloved masters, Kenichi decides to finish his battle using only Muay Thai in Apachai's honor (even if it puts him in a disatvantage). His conviction pulls through though, and he is barely able to defeat Kokin.

With that, a low level Yami master enters the room, and decides to take out his frustration on the battered Kenichi. Luckily, even while immobile, Agaard (out of his honor as a martial artist) is able to hold the grumpy master back with his immense ki, and even spitting chunks of concrete at him. The master breaks through, however, but is stopped by Apachai! He calls that even in death, he will protect Kenichi, and punches the master out of the building! He says he has to go now, and (with the most emotional part of the series thus far) says his goodbyes to Kenichi.

As Kenichi wakes up (a few days later), he's relieved to find that Apachai has barely been saved (Kenichi's other masters showed up shortly after his goodbyes, and performed an emergency operation). Also, they successfully recieved the data on Yami they were looking for.

Then, when Kenichi wakes up one day, the masters of Ryozanpaku are nowhere to be found (leaving only Kenichi & Miu), and they're wanted fugitives of the police!?

Meeting up with Nijima & the rest of the Shinpaku Alliance, it's found out that Yami has taken control of the police, and is after the data Ryozanpaku collected during the last conflict. Kenichi & the gang head out to meet a politician who is on their side, in order to give him the data on Yami, and clear his masters' names.

They are awaited by an armed division of Yami, though, and while the gang end up victorious, the disc where the data is stored, was destroyed during the conflict (meaning that while Yami couldn't get it back, it can't be used to clear Ryozanpaku either). Luckily, Nijima had a back up on a USB device, and gives it to the politician, who abruptly destroys it!

Apparently, he was a Yami supporter this entire time, and was luring out Kenichi & the gang to get the data. Not only that, but he's a master class fighter! While there's no way the gang can win against him, they decide to fight anyways, but are saved by Sakaki (one of Kenichi's masters), who has been keeping watch over them this entire time. Afterwards, it's revealed that Nijima has already leaked the data online, meaning Yami can no longer control it, and Kenichi's masters can come out of hiding.

Also, soon after Kenichi & Miu admit their feelings for each other, and Chigake (a Yomi member) slowly softens to the friendship of Kenichi & the gang even more. Also, Kenichi decides to help Miu find out more about the mysterious past of her parents.
