All Things ANIME

[lcummins]

I'm going to cry
I love the Bleach Anime...I know it's mostly filler lately & the story has been done to death (Ichigo fights, not strong enough & loses, trains, gets stronger, wins etc. etc.) but nothing gets me quite so warm & fuzzy as this does.
So I'll be very upset when it comes to a close

In other even sadder news it appears the Warner Brothers have bought the rights to make a live action movie...

Can't begin to fathom just how downright awful anything live action would be.
It just wouldn't translate at all.

Yeah, I forgot to mention the live action movie... it will either never get made or will disrespect the property, but I always hope for the best when they try these things.

I wouldn't worry too much about Bleach just yet... they may just be taking a break to wait for the last manga arc to finish because the filler episodes have been losing viewers lately. Take a break of a year or two and then come back and finish strong with all manga adaption! Much like InuYasha did with Final Act.

Yeah I'm hoping it goes the same way of the Akira movie & disappears without a trace.

Fingers crossed you are right about Bleach I'll miss it if it goes away so soon

Kinda put Gungrave on hold atm. Been watching Rosario + Vampire. Typical anime comedy about a weak high school loser who meets powerful cute girl who inadvertently ends up in a love circle with more powerful cute girls all trying to compete for said loser's affection. Same ingredients but still a fun watch.

Finished HOTD the other day & loved every second of it.
Nicely open for the second season & I can't wait to see what they do with it.

Still giving Bleach a much needed break & instead have started on Gunslinger Girl.

I started watching it a while ago but never finished it so starting from the beginning again.

So far only 3 episodes in but it's good, all the characters are good & the interaction between them works well.
Looking forward to seeing how it all develops.

While I'm on the subject has anyone seen the second season & OVA??

Glad you like HOTD. I hope we get a 2ns season someday. Supposedly it was supposed to have come out in 2011 but I hear HOTD wasn't as popular in Japan as it is hear in the west. In the last ep after the credits, it showed the gang arrive at the mall but in the manga, after they leave the mall, the story I guess hasn't progressed much so there isn't much material for them to go on atm either.

I watched the first 2 eps of Gunslinger Girl but haven't taken the time to finish it. Just hasn't captured my attention like other animes but I'll probably finish it up eventually.

Finished Birdy the Mighty: Decode. Really interesting anime but really felt rushed at the end and there was really no resolution. Hope a 3rd season comes out.

Hi never knew this thread was here! I'm watching naruto shippuden, just finished High School DxD. I'm going to miss bleach the ending was kind of anti climatic. Just started Fairy Tail, and still watching one piece.

There's an anime thread here too? Nice.

As for anime, I have about 50 anime series that I haven't even touched yet. I keep downloading all of these series.

The Anime Expo is this week. If you ever get the chance definitely check this out one of these days. This is like the SDCC for anime. Actually more adults go to the Anime Expo than Comic Con; plus there are WAY more hotter and sexier women there. Don't get me wrong there are some good looking cosplayers at SDCC, but there are just a lot more at the AX.

I hope they announce High School of the Dead season 2. I've really been aching to see a 2nd season.

The Anime thread

Kind of surprised to not see an active anime thread. Do not alot of people around here watch anime? Anyways whats every ones favorite anime? I originally thought Death Note was the greatest show of all time, but then I got around to watching Neon Genesis after seeing Evangelion 1.11 and Evangelion 2.22. By far my favorite anime. Loved everything about it.

Re: The Anime thread

I am partial to the Rurouni Kenshin and Full Metal Panic Series. Also love all the Ghost in the Shell stuff.

801 T.T.S. Airbats was fun! For weird and fun I also like Love Hina!

The saddest thing you could ever watch, animated or live is Grave of the Fireflies!

Also, Appleseed is awesome!

hmmmm..... thanks alot Duck! Now I am reconsidering selling my anime collection!
