Topic: Manga and Anime discussion

@RR529 @TripleGK: Bought Hajime no Ippo: Champion Road, InuYasha the Movie: Affections Touching Across Time, Inuyasha the Movie: The Castle Beyond the Looking Glass and Paranoia Agent last night.

I just watched the first few episodes of the second season of Noragami. It's really good so far. I love how awesome Yato is at times.

It's Toonami Saturday night!

DBZ Kai - Fallout of the Frieza arc. Some disappointment, but mostly smiles all around.

Akame ga Kill - Looks like the gang has made their move on the big bad, and we had a couple of fights with some big villains, and it didn't go very well for our heroes (that's one thing I'll give to this series that I can't say about many anime. Watching this, you don't really know if the protagonists are going to win or not).

Parasyte: the Maxim - The story is getting even jucier, as Shinichi has been found out, while the parasites are contemplating whether or not to take him out.

Samurai Champloo - The Yakuza shenanigans have come to a close, with lots of cool samurai action, of course

Bleach - Our heroes have started fighting the current group of villains. The villains' powers are interesting enough, but going by their designs, they look like low level rabble who wouldn't normally get the kind of positioning they have.

One Piece - As with the previous show, the fighting with the arc's villains has begun, but they aren't as interesting.

Also, they reviewed Fallout 4 tonight: 9/10.

I recently finished watching The Seven Deadly Sins. That was the first anime I felt compeled to binge watch in a long time.

@TripleGK: Yeah, but I've been busy the past couple of days. On top of that, I've also bought Gantz yesterday. lol Saw the first episode a long time ago but it didn't appealed to me back then. Decided to give it a go and bought it yesterday because it was cheap. Looking forward to watching some of them this weekend.

@Elk810: Yeah, I quite enjoyed watching The Seven Deadly Sins as well. The second season is slated for a 2016 release if I'm not mistaken.

@WanderingBullet: yeah Seven Deadly Sins Season 2 is out this year in Japan

i don't imagine the English version will be out until 2017 though

also still hoping for a physical release of the first series as Netflix only has STREAMING rights to the series and a physical release by Aniplex in America is on the cards apparently, just hope the UK gets a release too

@FullbringIchigo: Ah, I see. I usually don't mind watching animes in Japanese language. To be honest I actually prefer Japanese voice overs most of the time. However, having dual-audio is great too cause it lets me appreciate the animation without having to focus on reading the subs. lol

It's Toonami Saturday night!

DBZ Kai - Ah, I remember when I first saw this back when DBZ was first airing here. I truly thought that this was going to be the next big thing, but nope (even to this day, I'd kind of like to see it play out, though).

Akame ga Kill - Lots of great action tonight, and yet another main character gets offed (I've said this before, but the fact that the good guys don't always win, or come out unscathed, is really the most interesting thing about this show).

Parasyte: the Maxim - Looks like Shinichi might be getting dragged into another confrontation.

Naruto: Shippuden - Kakashi's group continues to fight the arc's villain, while Naruto's group looks for a way to help. Not much else to say, honestly.

One Piece - Missed it.

Oh, and they had a new one of those show montages.

It's Toonami Saturday night!

DBZ Kai - Just as quick as Frieza came back, he was again defeated (and King Cold is a dumba**, 'nuff said).

Akame ga Kill - Pretty epic swordfight tonight, though with a sad ending. Oh, and aparently whatever world they inhabit has Pocky...

Parasyte: the Maxim - Pretty tense episode. Looks like Shinichi is up against a new opponent, and this one has revealed a unique surprise.

Samurai Champloo - Great episode. The eating contest was pretty fun, the European was funny, and Mugen & Jin proving they can kick but even without swords.

Naruto Shippuden - Naruto's group arrives to provide backup to Kakashi's group, and they plan to strike back.

One Piece - My favorite thing about this show is when by bro stays up to watch it too, because he hates it, and it's more enjoyable to watch him react to it, than the show itself (though I personally don't mind the show too much).

Also, they reviewed Rise of the Tomb Raider, and gave it a 9/10. Oh, and they're holding some sort of contest/poll, and the first couple thousand people to vote in it will get a Toonami pin.

that fight ended much better in the manga

It's Toonami Saturday night!

DBZ Kai - Missed it.

Akame ga Kill - A huge climactic battle tonight, that was quite the feast for the eyes! Oh look, Tatsumi went Super Sayain to win, lol.

Parasyte: the Maxim - A pretty awesome tactical battle in tonight's episode. Also, looks like the villains are having a falling out of sorts.

Samurai Champloo - This episode had a sad ending, but ya' got to love Mugen.

Naruto Shippuden - Where's Godzilla when you need him (also due to the frog's voice, when Naruto fell into the lake, I thought he was going to pull a Towelie and say, "did you remember to bring a towel?").

One Piece - They've put the smackdown on most of their foes, and Luffy is now getting ready to face off against the big bad (as silly as he may look).

Also, in two weeks they are going to show Dimension W. Any idea if this is a show or a movie? (the promo didn't make it clear)

I'm now signed up to a streaming service has to much of the chase and Bargain Hunt. Naruto is being hit first!

It's Toonami Saturday night!

DBZ Kai - Training episode. Pretty enjoyable, though (especially the parts at Capsule Corp., the Chi-Chi scene, and Master Roshi's usual antics).

Akame ga Kill - Series finale tonight, and it ended with quite the fantastic duel. Despite the fact that the world is a mishmash of a bit of everything, with nothing unique of it's own, the show was fun, and I will miss it. The animation was great with some absolutely awesome fight scenes, and it's the first show of it's type I've seen that was so willing to kill off it's main characters as often as it did. You truly never did know who was going to win any particular fight, and that was the show's strongest asset.

Parasyte: the Maxim - Some truly interesting developments tonight, and I'm itching to see where it'll go next week.

Samurai Champloo - Some pretty funny stuff tonight, with a showboating doofus of Hercule proportions wanting to face off with Jin.

Naruto Shippuden - With the cat (er... giant turtle) out of the bag, our heroes are holding off until backup arrives, while Naruto is disobeying orders to do what he feels is right.

One Piece - Final battle of this arc. More silly than exciting, which is par for the course when it comes to this show.

Dimension W starts next week, and looks good!

@triplegk @WanderingBullet: Hajime no Ippo first season

Is this the kid who gets beaten up by 3 lads then a boxer comes along and ducks their blows before taking the lad back to his boxing club. The beat up kid punches the bag so hard his skin comes off his knuckles and is then told to watch a video of all the greatest knock outs.

If that's true - weird one this. I accidentally streamed this last night whilst I was marking up the results for the playstation best game of all time. I didn't know the name of it and just read all the comments on this page and I'm sure its that.

@Elk810: Seven deadly sins? May look it up.

@RR529: Akame ga kill - sounds like game of thrones with lead characters dying. Will look into it.

@themcnoisy: Sorry, man. I've only watched the movie and not the series… @triplegk Should be able to answer your questions.

@TripleGK: Alright I suppose. I couldn't really see much of what was happening other than that. But good premise for a film.

@RR529: I will admit Demension W does look really good. Sadly I don't get CN or any cable or satellite, which means I will have to find another way to watch it.

@Tasuki: funimation now is supposed to launch this month in the U.S & UK and it's on that

http://www.funimationnow.uk/

I watched the first two episodes of Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash on Animax. Thought the artwork and animation were great but both the story and characters were kinda meh.

I also watched Street Fighter II - The Animated Movie on DVD again last night with a friend.

@RR529: Dimension W is a series. I'm looking forward to it as well, not sure if they'll air it here, though.
