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

basquash 13

[details=Spoiler]man what a sad epd, <3 rogue

it’s just too bad the match ended this way, team basquash vs. team eclipse first battle was probably the best in the series. That match had everything! Coming into this one I had my hopes high when I saw it was going to be rematch, but I guess Rogue didn’t want to cheat dan about her condition state so she had no choice.[/details]

I read all the chapters I could find on that. Shame it hasn’t been updated. The chapter ended on a cliff hanger for me.

Gave me something to read while I was bored in class.

I’m up to Ep5 of Minami-ke: Okaeri.

I find it odd that the Opening doesn’t play right at the beginning like it should, but rather, it plays like a quarter of the way in. And then the Ending plays 3/4ths of the way in.

Couple of real thoughts on Hayate 13:

Hayate 13

[details=Spoiler]I find it amazing how they so downplayed the fact that Hayate was holding Hina’s hand with his other around her shoulder. As if that didn’t scream “MACK” all over. Even when Hina had his head down in his chest, I was like “Really? They’re not going anywhere with this?”

Even then, at the end of the episode Hina calls Hayate…well Hayate and that’s supposed to be proof on how she DOESN’T like him? NAHH B, that shit don’t fly.[/details]

Well,

Hayate 13

Spoiler

Well let’s look at the character’s themselves; both neither have experience in love, while Hayate doesn’t feel romantically attached to Hina yet (or doesn’t notice it) and Hina seems to be STILL unsure whether Hayate likes her or not. Which sounds a bit silly, but this show has a lot of silly stuff already.

As for some other shows watched earlier

Basquash 13

Spoiler

Rouge nooooooooooooooo. :sad: Alter’s gonna be mad watching this episode, I’d bet.

Damn, looks like we won’t see her and the rest of Eclipse for at least a little while. Quite a shame too, since she and Dan’s relationship is building up quite nicely. I like what Dan did in the end as his goodbye message when Rouge was leaving off to the moon. Hopefully we’ll see their rematch again later on in the series.

And it looks like Miyuki is finally jealous after 13 episodes in. :lol:

Next week’s likely to bring back the hype - the King of Kings match!

Minami-ke OAD 1

Spoiler

Fairly good episode with some hilarious moments; especially when Hosaka pinned Hayami down to feed her from that bento box he made for Haruka, the whole Maki and Valentines education session and how Fujioka wanted to help out Kana in almost everything…well, except that he didn’t help at all and almost got himself in the women’s bathroom. :lol:

Gintama 115

Spoiler

Damn, that travel to the island brought in one hell of a warzone! :rofl: I liked the bits where Shinpachi and Hasegawa found each other while prancing naked like idiots and how everyone was found out in the island doing something embarassing.

Geezer Gintoki and Katsura are looking to be a riot already. Can’t wait for the next ep!

Ah, Highschool of the Dead. What a shameless series.

I wish the Chinese or other Mandarin speaking countries had ill comics. I hear about Hero(not based of the movie) is pretty good but it’s pretty hard to find.

Hopefully they hit their stride like the Japanese did in '80s and keep going strong.

Just got round to watching the Utawareumono OVA and I have to say were the tits really needed?

I mean I know the anime was based on a H-game but it got through 26 episodes fine without showing anything, don’t quite see why it had to be shoved into the OVA.

change 123, is my new jam. boobs, good art, martial arts, and mpd.

I asked this a few pages back but got no answer so I’ll try one more time. If no one answeres again I’ll just assume no one knows which is fine.

Whats the release schedule for Battle Angel Alita like? It was a while ago i read the last chapter of Last Order and it’s been a while since a new ones come out it seems so any ideas on when I can expect the next chapter?

I need to catch up with FMA:B and Basquash and watch the last episode of K-On…For some reason i cant find the motivation to though…I dunno.

That says October. Chapters probably gets released monthly in Japan.

Ok thanks. Now I at least have an idea of when to expect it.

Battle Angel chapters are on a monthly release as Stabby noted.

FMA #13

Spoiler

Loved the fight between Greed and Ed. I like how they made Ed catch on quicker, it felt more in-character. This show took awhile, but I’m glad I kept up with it.

Minami ke OAD

Spoiler

Good episode with lots of nice moments, especially the one between Kana and Fujioka.

Tsuabasa & xxxHolic OVA #2

Spoiler

Gez, I shouldn’t have waited so long to watch these two episodes. Great stuff. They better animate the last arc.

Still haven’t found the motivation to finish K-On. Also, starting Persona 3 FES which will probably delay K-On even more.

Canaan starts this week!

Did you guys finish watching Arashi on Crunchy? I’ve been looking forward to that series, but haven’t found a copy online.

Where the hell is Ippo?!

Oh, I love that series too. Too bad they’re now in monthlies only. That, and SnoopyCool (their chief scanlators, at least across OM and MF) have pretty much gone comatose since the end of April.

And… I may be late on this, but I’m too damn lazy to check the rest of this thread. Anyone know if K-ON! released a single of “My Love is a Stapler” yet?

dats Nu and Rachael in ur Av? if so those are my main and sub chars, lmao.

I usually don’t watch, but I saw that the 600th episode of Pokemon was going to have Ash fighting his douchebag rival after 2 seasons of beefing with him

Pocket Monsters 600 and 601

Spoiler

Ash gets annihilated and Paul only loses 2 pokemon. Chimchar evolved into Monferno, but that didn’t really help. What really got to me was that Ash still seems to be as bad of a trainer that he was in the beginning of the series. And how is a kid’s show going to show people that the trainer that treats his pokemon like shit will go farther than the trainer that treats them with good morals?

^Ash is a tool. The end.

It’s actually Nu and Noel.

Nu and Rachel are my chars, too.

Is Lagann-hen about to be released on dvd or something? I’m seeing a bunch of stuff pop up from the movie. I’m really fiending for some of the crazy shit I’ve been reading about it.

I don’t think they have yet. I used this for reference.
