Anime/Manga Talk

Yeah, I'm interested to see this show's take on the Part 3 arc. I'm mostly looking forward to Battle Tendency, Vento Aureo, and Stone Ocean. Especially BT since Joseph is my most favorite JoJo. when they do Part 3, I'm crossing my fingers they don't skip Jotaro's battle with Dark Blue Moon since the OVA and the fanbase itself practically gave the Stand and its user the shaft.

One Piece game is absolutely amazing. You'll hate it if you don't like Dynasty Warriors-type games or just really like One Piece, but if you're a fan of either of those this game is something special. They break up the normal potentially monotonous gameplay of other Warriors games with some cool world traversal with abilities too. Little missions pop up for you to do, you can level up, you can customize stats with collectible coins...it's awesome. You need to watch about five or so episodes post time skip, though. Accidentally spoiled myself but only an episode or two and nothing major. The opening takes place after the time-skip and up until everyone boards the 1000 Sunny. After that it's a re-telling of almost all major events starting with Buggy and going through Marineford. Impressive scope.

WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...

I'm far behind on One Piece's story. I'm currently on the Long Ring Long Land story arc, so I have a lot of catching up to do before I pick up Pirate Warriors. I'll most likely be playing Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage 2 (Shin Hokuto Musou) before then, but I'm definitely gonna play it one day.

WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...

Haven't saw One piece in ages, but other joints was Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball GT, Sailor Moon, Inuyasha, Yu Yu Hakasho, Voltron, Ronin Warriors, Ruromi Kenshen & The Gundam Series. Yugioh is good too.

JoJo's ep. 2, still godlike.

JoJo's ep. 2, still godlike.

Amen to that. And not to mention seeing the epic opening sequence forced me to change pants upon seeing every single JoJo at the very beginning of the intro. Those stooges keep taking down any video with footage of the opening, but the audio itself shall do just fine.

My gosh, the song itself just oozes manliness and raw power the tone of the series is known for. LOVE IT <3

Currenty watching: The new JoJo's, Gundam ZZ, Chuunibyou.

I wish they skip nothing, i was a big fan of the ps1 SP story mode, I played it over and over
all the mini games, and the story it was awesome.

 

[d3v]

Disappointed that they did not play Roundabout this ep.

Also annoyed at the subbers who try to sub "Wryyy..." in weird ways. It's "wryyy..." plain and simply, now "urhyyyy."

Very much enjoying Chuunibyou, but then again I'm a big KyoAni fan, so no surprise. BTW your avatar is awesome - Yui FTW!

I was disappointed as well, but this is the most epic episode in the series by far, and can only get better now that Will A. Zeppilli steps in : D

Actually, the yell was pronounced "UURREEYYY" throughout the first arc of the manga, then switched over to the now well known "WRRYYYY" in part 3. Ignition One's scanslations are pretty reliable.

 

[saikyom]

i hope they use the video games voice actors, when they reach jotaro's arc,i was disappointed when i heard his anime voice,cause the game's voice was so great.

Someone FINALLY managed to get the opening uploaded to YouTube, but it's only a matter of time until Sueisha gets it taken down again since they must have some thing against Americans.

I vote GREATEST OPENING SEQUENCE EVER!!! : D

Speedwagon withdraws coolly indeed.

 

[Ghosty-J]

Gotta love that guy. Good ol' fashioned Fasttrolley Vroomjalopy Abruptvehicle Quickcar Zoomwheelie Vehículorápido Speedwagon........ Jenkins.

As for episode 4 itself, I'm surprised to see how fast they got from Jonathan in the Hospital bed all the way to the end of the fight against Jack the Ripper. I won't be surprised if Episode 12 is when the Battle Tendency arc ends. This anime doesn't beat around the bush with story details, it moves FAST XD

Winter Anime Chart

 

[TRI Mike]

I'd like anyone who knows to tell me about the following animes:

- No. 6
- Ga-Rei-Zero
- The World God Only Knows
- Majikoi: Oh! Samurai Girl
- Fractale
- Heaven's Memo Pad
- Infinite Stratos
- Children Who Chase Lost Voices
- Spice & Wolf
- Eden of the East
- Steins; Gate

The synopsis for each in Amazon look interesting and I'm thinking about spending some Christmas money on anime Blu-ray to enlarge my small collection of these things. If anyone has watched them and has something to tell me, I'll appreciate it.

 

[Nereus]

anyone ever heard of the less popular animes/mangas lol like Future Diary,Kiwaguro no brynhildr, Yamada-kun to 7-nin no Majo, Elfen Lied.

 

[Ooobe]

Okay, I haven't seen all of them and I doubt I have anything to add that wouldn't be available in reviews everywhere, but my 2 cents:
Spice and Wolf was surprisingly better than I expected, good art and story, decent animation. Even 2 seasons seamed short/incomplete though. Did not expect a trading/economics anime to be good.
Steins; Gate - probably my favourite on your list, fairly twisted plot. Lots of fun characters. Went back and re-watched the first 2 episodes immediately after finishing the last. Turned my nefew on to it and he thought it was the greatest ev4r. (I wouldn't go quite that far)
Eden of the East - on my list of anime to catch up on.
Elfen Lied - rather hardcore (violence) but if you're okay with that, it's very good.
I personally wouldn't recommend Infinite Stratos, - exceptionally generic - to the point I barely remember it, though it wasn't that long ago I watched it.
