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

indeed, one of the best harem manga of the last 10 years.

also why the hate on veritas? shit is 10 times better than the shitty japanese shit going on nowadays. tenjo tegne BS? change 123? fuck all that BS, id take veritas any day of the week over this BS. theres stupid shit in veritas too, but its bearable compared to some of the other series.

ofcourse i still havent found manwas that could compete with that japanese top shit, like blade of the immortal (anybody on here actually checking this shit out?), vagabond or berserk (but wtf is happenig lately, we only seeing beast) and that good oll ish.

but in all honesty, what good is coming out from the japanese these last few (make that 10) years? not a whole lot. way too much sekirei BS, bitches acting silly, metro faggots and pop culture BS:sweat:. GOOD series are really rare nowadays. you know its sad when a shonen is more barable than shit that should be for adults.

but thats just me, somebody who isnt in to cosplaying and going to conventions and all the shit. i like good shit, not just anime cause its anime. that was the old me, when i first discovered anime (fotns, venus wars and all that old 80s shit). nowadays i still like the art, but the creativety (designs, story) has been dying out. same for the quality. weve got a lot more releases, but a lot more BS is the result. unless your one of those i love anything anime related peoples. then shits only getting better and better.

I got 11 from the CommieSubs release. 12, I managed to d/l it from some streaming site called Anime Take via Flashgot. Haven’t got to 13 yet, but I sure hope a torrent comes soon so I wouldn’t be forced to get these kinda low quality vids.

Chibi and Yasanagi got to watch it via CR and Zomganime, though.

About your spoiler

[details=Spoiler]
What the friggin’ hell, Ash STILL sucks after 600 episodes?! Not only is he crap trainer but he never gets lucky with any of the girls either, unless I’m wrong since I haven’t watched this in years.

What a waste. At least Team Rocket is still redeemable, right? [/details]

No DVD release yet confirmed. Movie was shown in Japanese theaters this past April, IIRC.

Lolerskates: Ah. I guess I’ll wait too.

About the K-On music, I found this post (can’t wait until they release that full CD):

*July 22: “After School Tea Time” mini-album. Tracklist:

  • Fuwa Fuwa Time (5 girls version)
  • My Love is a Stapler
  • Calligraphy Pen, Ballpoint Pen
  • After Curry Rice

Price: 2,205

Also, a re-release of the OP and ED songs, but now with Azusa included!

And of course, the remaining two character albums (Ritsu and Tsumugi).

September 2: Full album with all songs that have been written for this show:

  • Fuwa Fuwa Time (live, 5 girls version;)
  • Cagayake! Girls (5 girls version)
  • Happy!? Sorry!!

  • After Curry Rice (live, 4 girls version)
  • My Love is a Stapler (live, 4 girls version)
  • Let’s Go!
  • Detailed explanation of Cagayake! Girls (no clue what they mean by that)
  • Brief explanation of each song (probably what they’re about and stuff like that)

It will also include a CD that features Cagayake! Girls and Don’t Say “Lazy” (both 5 girls versions) and a lesson on how to play these songs (or something along those lines anyway)

Price: 4,500

August 26: Azusa character album. Can’t make much of the description yet, just that it will at least have “Let’s Go!” on it.

August 12: Death Devil (Sawako-sensei’s band) CD/album. One song is already confirmed: “Maddy Candy”.

I also believe there was a Nodoka album coming somewhere down the line, but I can’t find anything on that there. Will probably have to look further into that.

Basquash 13

[details=Spoiler]Sad episode. Bye, Rouge! I’m sure that’s not the last we’ll see of her or Eclipse.

It looks like Miyuki is finally jealous of Dan and Rouge’s relationship, but who knows how it will play out later. Personally, I’m kind of miffed that her role in the series has been taken to the back burner. She started off as a strong, likeable character, but now she barely has any role in the show at all. WTF? She better start having a more important role soon.[/details]

Just found this on youtube.
Taiga Uppercut!

Ippo #25 is out by Saizen and Ignition.

About Miyuki

Spoiler

I have a feeling that after the King of Kings matchup that she’ll probably get serious with Dan about him having the hots for Rouge. Maybe she’ll even temporarily leave them behind because of that or something? I dunno, but one things for sure, them emotions are going to burst sooner or later.

:pray::pray::pray:

Basquash 13 and Miyuki

Spoiler

Perhaps. I just want her to stop being a background character already considering her history with Dan and her early importance in the series. I mean it’s obvious that she’s becoming disconnected with Dan since she can’t find him where he “always is” when he’s moody, so hopefully something happens sooner than later.

Haruhi S2 ep 3

Spoiler

Nice episode that gave the previous one actual meaning (and more fan service this time, oddly enough). To be honest, I’ve always been more interested in the romance sub-plot between Haruhi and Kyon than anything else in the series, so I’m definitely interested in seeing how this will play out in regards to that. I mean Kyon’s reason for existing in her world is being her love interest, but she doesn’t even know it and Kyon refuses to really acknowledge it (outside of episode four in the series, or was it five? I forgot). The second time they did their part time job with the frog suits, it seemed that he was actually taken back by her smile and how happy she seemed to be. Hopefully there will be more to this down the road.

no mention of negima yet?

rakan is too broken - able to master shinmeiryu just by watching eishun…

ultimate attack!

zanmaken: ni no tachi: just kissed ojou-sama for the first time special!

:lol:

Well, if you like seinen then there aren’t as many translated series, and the ones you missed you probably won’t hear about because most people don’t talk about ended series.

Doesn’t help that most seinin run in monthly magazines (or bi-weekly). So anything that started within the last ten years had at most 120 chapters.

And the closest to Veritas hate this thread got was from me, and I’m more disappointed by the potential of it than the actuality. Best series I’ve read to come out of Korea, with quality on-par with decent/good Japanese output, but not their best.

Huh. Black God is ‘Japanese’-- gets published in the same 'zine as Ubel Blatt and Seikeiri.

Anybody read the new fap note?

new fap note

Spoiler

Now that magister is going with broccoli, I wonder if Kurosawa will soil her? Kitahara may not be such an evil bitch after all.

Fap note

[details=Spoiler]Wow.

Wow.

That is fucked up. This really is like a backstory to Million.[/details]

Negima is the best manga I’ve read in a long time(maybe even of all time).

What really blows my mind is that the same thing actually happened to me once before. If he felt anything like I felt when it happened and do what I think he’ll do, the manga just might jump up there with HxH and such in terms of story

Fap Note

[details=Spoiler]What the fuck!!! I did NOT see that coming at all. Damn this manga is good.

Regardless, Kitahara is still a bitch.[/details]

fap note

Spoiler

That is so. fucked. up.

So was Kitahara actually looking out for him?

For anyone still stubbornly not reading…read this.

I’ll read it when Zazi does something!

Yeah, I… man, I feel sorry for kurosawa =(
