The Anime and Manga Thread v.3: Read the 1st post for FAQ, tips and chatroom details!

I thought the first season of HnI was really good. I think you should watch it and the movies because it gets you accustomed to the characters and the whole show. I think watching the episodes and seeing all the stuff animated with voices adds to the experiences and is an instance where I personally feel the show has more soul than the manga (the mangas damn good but the animation and voices adds some much more impact to the boxing and characters).

Definitely. You will walk into it completely blind.

Watch the 2 movies also.

of course. it’s like playing mgs4 without playing the first three. drives me nuts when people do that, then call it a shitty game.

I watched the first episode of Golden Boy the other day…what the hell. :looney::rofl:

So I got to episode 17 on Ghost in the Shell SAC. I’m loving this so far, especially since the original GITS movie is still one of my favorites. I gotta say, a lot of people say that the stand alone episodes tend to be boring compared to the complex ones, but I disagree. At least up until episode 17, most of the laughing man based episodes have been the least interesting, so I’m hoping it gets better. Batou really is one of my favorite characters, wish there was more episodes focusing on him.

My favorite is the bicycle race. I think it’s the 3rd ep.

They really should’ve kept this going.

I like the English dub. The cheesiness of it adds to the hilarity. :lol:

Anybody reading Alive - The Final Evolution? Nami vs D4 is gonna be nice.

You should check out the manga if you haven’t already. I always thought that he never banged any of the chicks he met cause I saw the anime first. He’s doing chicks like crazy in the manga. :rofl:

Hayate the Combat Bunnygirl S2 12

Spoiler

So it turns out that the mysterious man was Izumi’s butler, Kotetsu. Even when falling into the trap, he goes for the “Yes homo!” option because Hayate is that good looking. Plus he’s pretty desperate as well, it seems, to the point of kidnapping Nagi as a hostage just to summon Hayate.

Fortunately, it all balances out with Cruel Angel Thesis as an insert song, sung by birthday girl Hinagiku (alongside a little bit of fluid animation).

It looks like next week we’ll get our Hayate/Hinagiku encounter, though it won’t involve much violence from what was shown in the next episode preview

Also, K-ON gets a cameo appearance in a Japanese university’s website.

I hope the scanslators catch up to the modern Hayate manga soon…still a volume or two I think we’re missing out on.

Also, I got redirected to an anti leech image, you might want to change it to the article…that being said I’ve seen better cameos.

Edit: I read “My neighbor Taro-kun” I will never be able to look at politics the same way.

i fucking love golden boy! i heard one of my friends talking about it when i was a freshmen. i seen for the 1st time close to the end of last year. my roommate was talking about it and i was like “oh yeah i been meaning to check that out” lol. damn i waited that long to check it out lol. i need to check out the manga. my favorite ep was the 1st and 2nd. esp. the 1st ep. were the yakuza was trying to get their money from the old man and G boy was walking up to them like he was about to whip some yakuza ass, then he turns the corner :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:!!!

git sac is one of my favorite animes(the whole gits actually). i still havent watched season 1 straight through yet. i have to buy that 1st season. i have 2nd gig already. actually i was watching season 1 last week from this torrent i dl and tell me why when i got to ep. 17 the fucker whoever uploaded it repeated older eps. i was on ep. 17 but it was playing like ep 10. and its like that for the rest. wtf!!! now i have to find another torrent. its funny how were on ep 17 also:rofl:. i really need to hit up best buy and do some big anime shopping.

just started watching bubble gum crisis tokyo 2040 and i like it so far. damn i have a huge anime to watch list

Yes, looking forward to it, D4 is out for blood.

Also new Beezlebub has me shivering in anticipation.

Zatchbell getting crazy too.

But what caught me off guard completely was Tona-Gura’s newest chapter (37). Even with how they ‘resolved’ it, I wasn’t expecting it, and most series of that nature tend not to go anywhere near that type of direction. I really liked it.

You’ll like 2ng GIG, also.

Poker Face.

Same here dude, oh and Aoi is sooooo hot:lovin:

holy shit suzumiya is back

after forcing myself to see the first series, theres no way ima see the second one. im more interrested in those 2 eden movies.

After seeing how terrible it gets from the light novels, I don’t give a fuck about the Haruhi series in general. Shame, I used to like it a lot.

YEAAA BOI

Hinagiku is the most fucking win, ever.

Cosplay and anime theme singing? TOGETHER

WHAT
