What anime are you watching/reading?

[Lucki]

Just caught the end of Jin Roh - Wolf Brigade on Encore. I really have to watch that whole thing again...

 

[K. Ishitar]

Having problems locating full and complete anime for....

Hellsing-as far as I know the company has removed them from known internet sources, but not sure exactly.

Samurai Deeper Kyo- only finding up to chapter 134(middle of volume17) does anyone have a complete and full list of them?

Kurogane-This anime Nei-baka keeps mentioning I keep finding Kurogane with some other gibberish after it.

more to add...

 

[Norkio]

Oo

I just started watching Paradise Kiss and I really like it.

Also gonna be finishing up Princess Tutu today... friend says ending gonna make me cry. D:

And... I am up to date on all my Bleach. <3

 

[Neisan]

Gdi buy (some of) your anime. I'm in the middle of boondocks somewhere north of civilization in England and I could get it :/
Although, I'll probably have to dig deep for the 3 volumes of Scryed I still need.

The Kurogane you're looking for is only 5 volumes long, that's probably what you're looking for.

PM me if you want 1-90 of Hellsing, it's not removed from one site, only hidden ^ ^


From the romantic/comedy/horrors, Chibi Vampire! the only vampire that's not a vampire. Being undead and failing at your race - well, obviously hiccups are going to ensue. Nothing beats a vampire working in the daylight at a garlic restaurant lol.

 

[K. Ishitar]

Feh, I read 1-90 before it was removed from onemanga.com I assumed that there was more but that end of the chapter would be a decent if not anticlimatic(and awesome) ending for Hellsing.

Kurogane no Linebarrel? it's only 2 chapters and how does a 5 chapter anime...compare with Kenshin?! (well FLCL was great and short but still...)


Found Saiyuiki though, although I believe that I've found only up to Gaiden which is the flashback/background story, is there another series I thought it was complete?

The only volumes of Sdk I'm buying are 17(which isn't in stock atm) and 27 since Yukimura just owns the hell out of Sarutobi.

I like to buy manga that I'll know I re-read again, rather than order it through borders and find out that it's not that good and buy it.

Currently gettin' caught up on Naruto: Shippūden , episode 33. I really, really can't stress how much I hate Naruto, the original series, but goddamn the Shippūden series is an ace in the hole.

I agree, for the most part. The original Naruto... was awful... unless you take out Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, lol. I loved the show, except for the three main characters. I agree completely though, Shippuden is 40 million times better.

I just finished Pani Poni Dash, which was fuckin hilarious lol, and am trying to figure out what to watch next..

Edit: Strid, I fucking love your avatar XD

 

[Gerry]

Just watching Gundam SEED Destiny now.

To Shyrra:

To be honest, I think the shippuden anime SUCKS right now. There are far too many flashbacks, right now I'd actually prefer to see filler rather than a still deceased Sasori repeat the same lines every single episode in a freaking flashback. The manga is way better though Sure shippuden had a good run at first but now there are too many damn flashbacks and over-used sequences. I just hope it'll be better when it comes to the Team 10 arc.

Edit: Norkio your avatar is pure win.

 

[K. Ishitar]

nobody thinks the Gaara vs. Deidara didn't kick ass? I prefer reading manga opposed to watching anime but I definitely thought episode 27 was awesome with sakura vs Saosori.

you are my friend is annoying but...it's growing (ugh), hero's come back was better.

 

[Neisan]

Eh, I just buy the whole damn series if I like it, can't say I regret it much. Unless it's something exceedingly long that I can't be bothered with like Bleach, and Bleach is probably the only one besides Flame of Recca (Liked it, but it was too much of a hassle to order the whole thing in where I was).

No, you didn't find the right Kurogane; you'd probably have to order it most likely. I don't know of any sites that have it up, let me check if any you use have it though and you just somehow missed it. As for your other question, there are 3 series to Saiyuki that I am aware of, however the first one I ever saw was Reload so I don't know how the story actually started.

That reminds me, I need to reread Kare Kano [His and Her Circumstances] again (if I could). I think it's the most complete series I've bought to date. Yea, I bought the whole series. Shut up.


EDIT: Don't know if I mentioned it before but you should pick up Black God as well. And no, the story has nothing to do with the title.

 

[K. Ishitar]

progression goes for Saiyuki

Sayuki> Reload> Gaiden although Gaiden can be watched without spoiling the story haven't finished it though.

Reload stopped on a plot twist then when I started reading Gaiden up to 3 it was giving exposition, only 7ish chapters so i'll get back to ya on that.

Things that are win in shippuden:

Gaara vs Deidara
Sasori vs Sakura
Kakashi's Mangekyo
Deidara strangling Tobi
Sai making fun of Naruto's penis
Naruto going 4 tail

Total: 6 things that are win

Things that are absolute FAIL in shippuden:

Sasuke making an appearance in episode 1, around 50 episodes before he should make his appearance (Damn Sasuke fangirls (or fanboys, godforbid))
Too many damn flashbacks every single episode repeating the same damn line!
The 2nd OP is kinda gay... ish.
Unnecessary stand and stare moments which take an entire episode to do something.
Team Gai's episode... that was completely stupid.
Sakura becomes useless again very quickly, seriously why the hell didn't she do anything when it came to facing Orochimaru and Kabuto?!
Taking an entire episode to make Naruto revert back to his normal self.
Not enough Jiraiya.
It's getting to be like DBZ... and not in a good way.
Cartoon Network and Jetix are gonna edit the hell out of Shippuden! Especially the dicks at Jetix in the UK who edit out EVERYTHING! Including the writing the name in blood part of the summoning jutsu, even when it is obvious!

Total: 10 things fail about shippuden.

Thats what its like to me though. The manga is far superior to the anime now. Shippuden really pissed me off. I would much prefer to watch filler in Naruto shippuden now rather than some lame flashback every 3 seconds.

lol, amen to that... but I have yet to see a long-running anime that DIDN'T have flashbacks. I could never get into the manga, for whatever reason, it just didn't have the same grasping effect on me that the animes have. The 20-something straight fillers in naruto.. 150-ish episodes, or whatever it was... was MUCH worse than the frequent flashbacks though, in my opinion ;/ I'm all for a funny filler here and there... but I'm not watching naruto for 20 comedy-based episodes in a row lol.

 

[Strid]

I'm up to 35 now and I'm not gettin' why the flashbacks are so horrible on you. Maybe it's because you've seen every original Naruto episode? For me, having basically zero knowledge of the original Naruto, they are great. So far I haven't encountered a single flashback that wasn't necessary to my understanding of the fundamental what/why/who. Too each their own I guess. I'm finding myself just as drawn to N:S as I was TTGL. The only problem I see myself having with this series is the length. I prefer the short amount of episodes that tell it all, not a series that last 100+ episodes. One thing we can definitely agree on and is the cause for the length, the DBZ style of draggin' out of the fights, etc. I really don't like that but if I must, I must.

 

[RaidrX]

Just finished up Shigurui. 12 episode anime and its definitely not for anyone with a weak stomach or doesn't like a shit ton of gore, it even almost made me go wtf a few times (they really like to show intestines in this show :/ ). The series isn't complete which sucks because when I watch shit I like to watch it through to the end. It seems like it needed like 3-4 more episodes to get there and it just kinda ended. Idk if they will make more episodes or not. The manga apparently isn't even to the end yet so don't know if they will do more with the anime or not.

Really interesting story and cool art in the anime. I definitely liked it, just wished it hadn't ended so abruptly. If you like samurai stuff and aren't bothered by gore I'd say check it out. If you want to see how gory it is check my spoiler.

Sounds like some shit I need to watch.

It is indeed. I just started Darker than Black last night. Pretty good so far, only upto episode 4 though so well see how it progresses. The opening is fucking pimp though, i like it.

Here's a nice piece of Naruto you've never seen. Episodes 48-50 from the original. Awesome action, story telling filled is with incredible emotion, and the Animation is slightly better than it's surrounding episodes. Satisfaction guaranteed.

I dug it up on youtube to see if i can find it. This link has pretty good quality for youtube.

I watched episode 33 of Gundam SEED Destiny last night, and I cried!

Spoiler:

Edit: Finished watching SEED Destiny. Epic.

I've watched those in English. The enjoyment I get from them is only the enjoyment that Gaara is fightin'. I really like watchin' Gaara. Rock Lee is as even more annoyin' than Gei and personally, I'd have offed him if I was the writers.
