[Great Rumbler]

I want violent anime with titties, awesome fights and great animation.

Recommend some!

It's hard to get all three going at the same time, but you should get at least two out of three from all of these:

Hellsing Ultimate
Cobra the Animation
Golgo 13
MD Geist
Grey: Digital Target
Vampire Hunter D and Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust
Armitage III
Dead Leaves
Rin: Daughter of Mnemosyne
AD Police Files
Rhea Gall Force
Dominion Tank Police
Blood: The Last Vampire
Megazone 23

[Himu]

Oh man, please watch Golgo 13: The Professional. It's a film.

[Great Rumbler]

Golgo 13 is like Testosterone: The Movie.

That part is amazing. 

Also:

"You can laugh at it now," comments executive producer Mata Yamamoto in an interview on the DVD, "but it was the first time we'd used computer graphics in a Japanese film.  It took more than a million dollars to make it happen!"

lolwut @ the ending of DtB S2

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Shion sends his fake sister and July to Earth2, and AMERIKA takes over the world.

[close]

Now on to some OVA action!

[Bebpo]

I honestly have no idea what happened at the end of S2

but it looked cool!

[Joe Molotov]

Marathon over! I just finished watching all 42 episodes of Darker than Black, and even though the OVAs didn't make the whole Yin/Izanami thing make any more sense, it's animu, what are you gonna do? At least Hei got to do some more Batman stuff. Now I'm ready for Season 3.

[Bebpo]

I felt really bad for Suo for the entire S2.  She has a real shitty life experience

I was hoping S2 would end

with her getting a happy ending together with Hei.


cute couple!

3 people: I'd like to see S3 be like this
Okamura: lol S3 lol

  i hope this will change

[Junpei the Tracer!]

SUI FENG. Why you do this to us Kubo?

The United States Armed Forces in Japan have announced on Monday that they are collaborating with the Maritan manga creators to publish a manga celebrating the 50-year alliance between America and Japan. The official blog of the Maritan manga franchise confirmed the news. Artist Yukio Hirai is best known for Mahō no Kaiheitai Pixel☆Maritan (Magical Marine Pixel*Maritan), the manga/CD set that teaches Japanese people how to talk like a U.S. Marine — with profanity.

The first of four Our Alliance — A Lasting Partnership (Watashi-tachi no Dōmei — Eizoku-teki Partnership) issues will be released exclusively in Japanese at noon this Wednesday. The remaining issues are slated for later this year. Maritan's "Col. Ayabe" is responsible for the story scenario and text in this new manga, and other Maritan contributors also worked on the illustrations. The manga officially marks "the 50th Anniversary of the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the United States and Japan" with a story about a Japanese girl named Anzu Arai and Usa-kun, an American boy visiting Japan.

[Junpei the Tracer!]

I'm not sure if I should post this in the comic thread or this one, but I'll do it in this one since it's on page 1.




imaishi is so awesome. i love japanese fan art of american comics.

[Great Rumbler]

I don't recognize either of those.

[Junpei the Tracer!]

The first is Nextwave and the second is Umbrella Academy. Nextwave is so good I actually BOUGHT it. Dunno about Umbrella though.

[Bebpo]

I thought the first was Gurren, lol

[Great Rumbler]

Episode 5 of High School of the Dead had a pretty awesome action scene.

[Junpei the Tracer!]

I finally finished Birdy Season 2. Very nice, episodes 8 and 12 had some interesting animation. Shame we most likely won't get a Season 3 since it sold like poo.

[youtube=560,345]Z72hAGOWy_w[/youtube]

English dub sounds nice. Will support legally when box-set comes out.

[MCD]

Gai in latest Naruto chapter

[Bebpo]

Yeah, that was funny.

My fetish.

[Junpei the Tracer!]

I never cared for the ones that had real material on them. Looks nice though.

[Great Rumbler]

One of these days I'm going to finish Tatami Galaxy!

[MCD]

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-08-05/fractal-noitamaina-anime-with-yamakan-revealed

this look cool.

[Great Rumbler]

It's not a harem show, so that's something.

[Bebpo]

I tried to watch Black Rock Shooter OVA.  Almost died of boring after 12 mins in and FF through the rest.  The fantasy zone parts having no music, no dialogue, and just being a lot of walking staring and then fighting was zzzzzzzzzzzz
the other side jr. high girls friendship time was nothing haven't seen in 100 other shows and dull as well.  
meh

[Great Rumbler]

Haven't really watched it yet, but that was the impression I got.

[Junpei the Tracer!]

I really liked it. And those fight scenes were not "zzzzzzzzzz",they were pretty neat.

[Junpei the Tracer!]

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-08-07/new-kampfer-project-launch-announced

I will watch.

You're a loser Junpei. Is that old?

I'm sorry

Finished the Monster manga.  Loved the last two books but hated the actual end of the final book.

Tenma choosing to save Johan or the tease that Johan has recovered, escaped, and all that?

[Himu]

Not big on the ending myself. Urusawa struggles with endings and this is why I'm dreading finishing Pluto.

[Bebpo]

Pluto's ending is at least better than 20th Century Boys.  That manga was so fantastic until it totally fell apart in the last arc.

[Purple Filth]

I guess you may not like Pluto's either since it did end weirdly IMO.

[Bebpo]

Angel Beats ep9 was surprisingly good.  It was the flashback ep about the MC's full backstory.  Even for KEY that was a really depressing backstory.  MAN TEARS
Despite the generic look, the show really deals with a lot of heavy issues.  On one hand I want them to be happy, but otoh not knowing what lies ahead after death/disappearance is :\  Dunno how this will have a non-tear jerker ending.  Yurippe is already a super sorrowful character, living eternally while hating herself for the death of her siblings.  Sad sad show  :'(

[MCD]

http://chartfag.wordpress.com/2010/07/05/oh-yeah/

[Junpei the Tracer!]

Junpei, serious question:

Are you interested in the Thermae Romae manga purely because of the vast quantity of naked men in it, or does the story/art appeal to you?

I have a couple of Eiji Otsuka mangas to catch up on, but after that, I might actually buy this, cos it seems quite interesting.

Story/Art. Since it had so much praise I just wanted to know more about it.

inb4 someone says Fall Season sucks.

Angel Beats is definitely one of the best dramatic series in a while. And, yes, the ending is a tear-jerker.

I will be watching the 3 shows with robots in the fall

[Purple Filth]

http://chartfag.wordpress.com/2010/07/05/oh-yeah/

season looks like garbage already 


but is that a SRW OG anime i see there? if Folka and his mech are in i would check it out.

[Bebpo]

They might.

Technically the anime is about OG2, but if it's meant to link directly into OG3 game it's going to have to cover OG2 & OGGaiden

What's the series in the middle with the three underage moe girls with huge cleavages?

[Mr. Gundam]

They might.

Is OG3 still vaporware at this point?

Of all the things that they could give a sequel to, it's that.

Nevermind, I think I watched the first episode of that series and it wasn't good.
