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

Anyone know of a site that keeps up with or lists upcoming anime Blu-ray releases, or something like that?

Umineko 2

Spoiler

Not much did change. However, most players seem to say that it was mostly rushed; when it comes to the character development and how their emotions were portrayed in some key scenes.

shrugs I thought it was fine, myself.

Yeah, there are a group of people in Animesuki who are working on translating it.

Scroll down a bit and you’ll find some translation patches for all 4 episodes released so far. You’ll need to look for the originals via the other usual means, though.

Hell yes, just finished marathoning it myself.

Hayate manga

[details=Spoiler]So…Athena is where Hayate got his super hax from. BTW, if Athena doesn’t turn out to be a total heel and ends up in his harem…the other girls are FUCKED. Hayate admitted to her face he loved her (though of course he was a kid, the implications of romance were definitely there). Those two were into some heavy stuff back when all the other girls didn’t even know he existed (except Izumi lol, didn’t see that one coming).

Of course…I still think Hayate x Maria should be OTP. Maria = awesome.[/details]

It’s been said…but he’s a badass motherfucker so I’ll say it again. That is Setsuna F. Seiei from Mobile Suit Gundam 00, which you should watch.

EDIT: Oh, and the HnK opening is like the most over the top epic thing ever. YOU WA SHOCK!

one day i’ll marathon hayate manga myself, i’m around 40-50ish.

Naruto 455 …

BAH

Spoiler

Sweet - now everyone’s got sharingans. I’m gonna cosplay as a giant sharingan covered with sharingans at the next con. :rolleyes:

Any anime about arcade players? =)

Loler, what the hell was your name before you changed it?

Also, thanks for the Umineko links. Spirit wasn’t joking-- that is some terrible fucking art.

Speaking of marathoning, I started reading Negima yesterday, and I’m at chapter 165 right now.

Spice & Wolf II, gotta love the Lawrence Horo relationship.

I haven’t heard of any, but if not, there should be.

Just watched Needless. It feels like a modern day awful 80s anime. :lol: Not sure if I’ll keep watching or not, although Eve is pretty damn hot. Also, like everyone else… wtf @ the ED. Lesbians and loli? lolz

Kanamemo was awesome. Its probably going to be the best show of the season.
2009 is going to be a glorious year for lesbianism.

Does repeating a plot 5 times that got solved in 1 chapter of the novel sound cool to you?

I didn’t change no name. :wonder: You were thinking I was someone else? Always had that nick since I was registered in '05.

The only name change I’m going to go through is at the end of this year to Aria instead - and which’ll be permanent.

Anywho, checked up Tokyo Magnitude a bit earlier

Tokyo Magnitude #1

Spoiler

Art looks very…Miyazaki-ish. That or it reminds me of Dennou Coil. Anyway, it just sets up the main character, the rather cynical Mirai, her family and those who are around her. The real star of the show, the earthquake, comes in right at the end of the episode - so next week is where things will pick up and a better opinion could be formed

Zan Zetsubou 1 was awesome, as usual from the series. Loved the whole bit where

ZSZS #1

Spoiler

Nozumu was captured as a proposed omen of bad luck and all the girls came to save him.

Plus, wtf at the fat guy in the bikini during the spring rant part of the episode. :rofl:

Also, who wants to be in despair? Have at you some free animated avatars!

Anyone non-prem who wants them, just feel free to ask.

are there any more haruhi novels past #9?

also i dont get why people like szs, i quit after 4 episodes because i didnt know where the hell the story was going and the show wasnt funny

it looked kinda like a bad version of the GTO story :\

I wonder if BSS will pick up Spice and wolf II?

There’s your problem. Zetsubou Sensei has no consistent plot whatsoever; basically, it’s about a bunch of socially dysfunctional people with their quirks get to bitch and spread their negative views on society and what goes around it in a dark comedy wrapping. Sure a few reoccurring things happen here or there, but it usually shifts back to the usual in no time.

Ken: Mazui’s subs for ep 1 weren’t so bad, I guess. If you’re eager to check it out, feel free.

alright, good to know, thanks.

:rofl: that was my problem too, i had no fucking idea what was happening but the theme song sucked me in at the time. it always changed views so much i just didnt know wtf was going on. might as well redownload some again, but can just watch the new season since theres no real story?

not sure if i posted this before. saw Big Windup on youtube what a good dub they only had 4 episodes so ill keep waiting or download it since i never saw any baseball animes. the main character is the biggest pussy though always crying about everything. the coach has humongous titties for no damn reason.

Can I have the one in the middle?
