But plot is only one layer of things. Rewatching or rereading things allows you to see things that you may have missed the first time because you weren't aware of them until a certain plot element that happens afterward. Like when rewatching the Sixth Sense; knowing that Bruce Willis is dead from the get-go makes so many of the strange moments make sense, like the anniversary dinner with his wife. Believing that something is over just because you've seen it is a sad way of viewing things, even in "static" media.


Sorry; this is what I get for taking Lit. classes.

Well, the B.B. Hood background thing only happened in 1 episode though, an episode where not only they made some references to classic tales (like the turtle and the hare, and Urashima Tarou), they also made some references to other shows (that B.B.H. part and apparently a cosplay of characters from Zero no Tsukaima). ^^;

Anyway, Neko-Neko Knuckles. :3

I cant wait for the new episode of Shippuuden and Bleach!!! How bout all guys?? And have yall read the latest chapters of Naruto and Bleach??? As always looking for teammates so just hit me up at my Dojo page on here to set that up but anway, Keep on plaing and keep om watching/Reading Manga-Anime!


I have both seasons, but the story arc from the first season is better.
Yea the story is a lil bit better, the the story behined the laughing man was good!

Yep why not! I'll post the newest chapters of Naruto and Bleach on here for yall guys! And if there's any other manga just as and I'll try to find and post!

1150

Bleach 282 Just came out!!!!!!
Then after watching tell us what you thought of the episode! Like it or love it!!


linking to things like this is a nono.

OK 1st off I want to say that the newest episode of Bleach was good! I've done many manga videos of Bleach and this was one of the chapters I did (To see vid just check my Dojo thread) and it was 90% the same as it was in the manga. What they added was good too! The fight with stark was hott and just began to start!!! Wait till yall see who pops up to save the day!!! Anyway the only bad thing I have to say is what I'd sa about alot of anime thats aired today. I hate when the 1st 5mins of an anime gives a recap of the last episode! I know thats for the people who didnt see the last one but come on, if you watch anime your gonna watch EVERY last episode of the anime you love. Anyway thanks for checking this thread out and by all means, Make a reviwe your self and post it here! Cause we all want to know what yall think!! 8-)


Who would watch a series more than once? That's just weird.
Not at all! 1st off sometimes there aren't any new good animes out so you might want to see something hott and cool! I catch myself watch old episodes of Naruto Bleach and Devil man cry just because I want to be entertained! Sometimes the old stuff is better!


I meant more that Brotherhood is better than the original series.
Yea it was better than the 1st! And lasted a lil longer too!

Had me thinking about the next episode in Naruto. Seeing how the newest episode is not a filler. It should be a good one!Obaiyo mina8-)

When was Boondocks an anime?
Korean Directors, animators(Like Simpsons, etc.), with the kung-fu hootie hoo in there.

Bushido Brown vs Stinkmeaner's Flying Guillotine guy?

Oh yes.

So its closer to Avatar than anything. Now to just get the fans of Avatar and the fans of Boondocks to mingle. I'm both, lets mingle.

This Saturday A_Swim 2:30 am probably going to be the last 2 Bebop again. Going to do that. Last Saturday was the last GitS:Stand Alone Complex? Because back to back next one up was first episode season one, rooftop Jamaican chain wearing future gangsta got his leg shot off.

Other animated things sitting around. Movie length.

Van Helsing - we'll see how that goes.

Iron Giant - going to be a goodin' oldie but goodie.

When this summer ends, I'll have watched 3 different Gundam series this summer (Gundam ZZ, Turn A Gundam, Victory Gundam). Next is rewatching G Gundam.

DVD: Planning on going back and rewatching Gundam 0083 sometime soon.

TV: Also watching DBZ Kai since it's like rewatching DBZ but with a lot less garbage.

Oh yea!!! Naruto Shippuuden 172 is out!! So yall know what that means! Go watch it!!

EDIT: Naruto Anime Episode 172 After Thoughts.......

Ok so I just got finished watching Naruto Shippuuden 172 and I feel that it was ok. Just ok. I mean that will happen when its more story telling than action. But if you didn't know the back story to Pain then it was a good episode for that! I'm Just happy that there's no fillers in sight! But all in all it was a cool episode! Cant wait for the next one!!!



Naruto Manga Chapter 505 after thoughts......


Boy oh boy!!! WoW!!! Naruto has mastered the Fox in side of him!! (Well kind of) But for him to look like the Sage Of The Six Paths when he has the power flowing in him is OMG!!!! So dose Naruto has some ties to the Sage who brought Ninjutsu to the ninja world??? And now Naruto can do the same no better than his father's yellow flash!!!!

The new DBZ is actually not bad. It exceeded my expectations. I miss Gohan's old voice, that's my only qualm. But having fights finish in 1 episode, no more episodes made entirely out of talking, and less of the infamous "charging" definitely makes it worthwhile.

The newest Gundam anime is 2010's Unicorn to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the franchise. All the ones I watched this summer are fairly older, the oldest being Gundam ZZ, released in 1986. Victory Gundam came out in 1993, and Turn A came out in 1999 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Gundam.

And I am looking forward to the next episode of Unicorn, which comes out in the fall. Though the rate they're going, it'll be YEARS before they finish producing the anime. :<

I saw it when I was younger, but I didn't like it all that much, mainly because none of it made any sense to me. Now that I'm older and I realize that nothing in G Gundam is to be taken seriously, I figure I can rewatch it and get the most (read: nothing) out of it.

joo kids.

Doraemon apparently found out the name of that again is that blue cat with the freaky grin and red doggy collar(y does he have that) or I guess its a bell on it for cats, you turn his face and his fish food flakes go on your rice, "furikake" growing up.

Mom grew up with anpan man. Who's story freaks the crap outta kids, though. Poor mom:



http://wanderingvegans.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/anpanman.jpg

[spoiler-box]
Anpanman is very very popular. In fact, popular isn’t even the word for it. He is simply everywhere, and he is as much as part of Japanese culture as sushi is. So when you manage to tear yourself away from the mountains of merchandise and take a minute to actually think about it, why is he so popular?
Well that I don’t know but I do know that if you simply explain the concept of Anpanman without context and especially without mentioning that it is a cartoon, well it sounds frankly disgusting. His head is made of a jam bun. He goes around saving people. His head is fully detachable and replaceable if he is damaged. If he wants to help starving people he can tear off chunks of his head for others to consume.


So perhaps in our current global economic crisis rather than some jackass show-boater like Superman, we need Anpanman to make sure that we don’t starve to death. We all know that comics contain sub textual meanings, the X-Men was about racial intolerance, Spiderman represented the trials of puberty, so perhaps we should look at Anpanman in the same way. Rather than a simple cheerful kids show, Anpanman is secretly preparing us for the horrific eventuality that in order to survive we must resort to cannibalism.

Seeing that were on the topic of Anime and all let me ask everyone a qustion:
What everyones top 3 fav opening or closing music that was from a anime?


Mines:

1: Stance punks- I wanna be (Soul eater 1st ending)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9EBT3tkCnw


2: YUI - Again (Fullmetal Alchemist "Dark Brotherhood" 1st opening)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kObVjIY5fvM


3: LAST ALLIANCE - Hekireki (Hijime No Ippo "New challenger" 1st opening)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elXiGNCM4zs



I know, I know there are soo many good songs out there! But I guess this is just my top 3 as of right now. Ask me this same qustion like next week and I would have something different up there! But who ever answers this qustion I just wanna say thanks for taking the time out! Janna mina!!8-)

Umm I have to think about the other one but this is my favorite Shippudden Opening.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5Wanb-Q0WY

Also I really like the OP song for Darker than Black by Stereo Pony.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mr4pR0RTngA

And I like the op from Air gear.

Let's see. As for the songs themselves, my top three would probably be "My Soul, Your Beats!" by Lia from Angel Beats!, "Falling Down" by Oasis from Eden of the East, and "Kimi no Shira nai Monogatari" by supercell from Bakemonogatari, ugg, that's an ED, but still a great song "Superscription of Data" by Shimamiya Eiko from Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei. My favorite OP from any series just by virtue of how it is animated would have to be the first Death Note OP.

Naruto's Blue Bird theme is by far one of my top favs.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmZxwHty3Uo

How can anyone forget this one?


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtWBXA1MGrQ


Also, this one gets good around 1:02 which is what ya heard when it was on toonami (the rest was cut out or most anyway).


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0gg47Xblo8


For shits n giggles, this one was kinda kewl.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vv99z03z9Ks


Lastly, one more Naruto.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFrhrp-G26s


Damn, one more...(I love Japanese music :D) This one's not a theme as far as I know, but it's friggin awesome as heck.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huLPOArXCR0


Damn, one more I swear.

You should keep watching. The end of Kai is satisfying because they earn their damn happy ending.

Oh yeah? I watched the first episode of Kai and laughed my bottom off :D Probably doesnt stay like that though, huh?






What a cruel, CRUEL question >_>

I honestly can-not- come anywehre near deciding... ORange Range is Amazing, Stereopony is amazing, Maximum the Hormone is amazing, Kelun is AMAZING, YUI is AMAZING, liek evary Rockman opening/ending is amazing, etc etc. Did I forget to mention HIGH & MIGHTY COLOR?

Probably my all time favs is BEAT CRUSADERS, though. Kappa Mikey, anyone?

Oh yeah? I watched the first episode of Kai and laughed my bottom off :D Probably doesnt stay like that though, huh?

If I recall correctly, Kai is less bloody and there are more moments of pure, character driven awesome in the last couple of arcs. It is definitely not as depressing as the first season, though that is my personal opinion. Hey, I still think there could be some truth to that alien theory. :P Also, Rei is honestly my favorite part of the series. It has two hilarious episodes sandwiching a deep and thought provoking 3-part arc.

Now for me to embarrass myself by telling of my like of romcoms and romdrams:
I just finished watching the Kaoru arc of Amagami SS, and, while I feel the end left a bit to be desired compared to the flash forward ending provided by the Haruka arc, I felt that the development between Junichi and Kaoru was more believable and overall I enjoyed it much more than the Haruka arc. One of my favorite parts was when Kaoru confessed her feelings: the whole scene was much like a wedding with the confessions being a lot like vows, which I thought was a cute touch. I really am enjoying the omnibus nature of this series.

Ok Bleach 284 was hot! There was a lil filler in there giving up a peek in the lives of the espada while live down there in hecdo mondo but the rest of the episode stayed on track. Naruto 174 was kinda boring! Only because I had did the manga videos that had coverd them chapters. It was more story telling than anything. But seeing Naruto using his hart to make people do good is always cool. Hmm...other than that just working on a vid powerd by Afters Effects cs5 pertaining to me comming back to do manga videos so look out for that one!!!! Other than that work as always. So yall guys be cool and I'll holla at yall later!8-)

Ichigo looks much older now and has some black chain going up his arm!! The mangas are looking real good at the time. But what ever anime you watch don't do it to your self.......SUB only bro!

Yeah, you really shouldn't. Especially if it is something that is licensed and you are posting scanlations. I believe it falls under copyright infringement, and PSO-W doesn't want to deal with all that. Same reason it isn't a good idea to mention how you watch/obtain anime episodes.

But no gripes, I just wanted to share that with yall. Its hard out there and most of yall guys have mommy and daddy's money to play with. But the rest of us who works and goes to school out of there own pocket need every break that we can get! Don't hate me, just understand outside of that protected life that most of yall kids live in there a REAL world out there! Have a cool day!



Not to get of the topic:

Just watched Bleach 285 for free and keeping it for free and I'm loving it!
The episode was off the hook! One of the vizard bankied!! And a new person bankiing is something to see!
Im still waiting to see tosen turn to the fly in the anime(Yuk!) But it sucks that one of the most known Vizard is dying and seeing what happens in the manga, she's done for! Waiting for the newest naruto to come out...........


Oh one more thing: Might Guy since Naruto 1 has done all types of cool stuff! And in Shippuuden when he had his 1st fight with Kisme! (Off the chain) But as of late, no we haven't seen him! But next to Kakaishi, Might Guy is one of the hottest Old heads of konoha!

You do realize that the people who create these shows and comics have to buy food for their families and pay for their car loans as well, right? How are they supposed to support themselves if nobody is buying advertising for the shows or buying the DVDs in stores?

This content isn't "free" just because you can get it without paying for it. You're taking content that you don't have the right to take.


That's just how I feel, and from what the news shows that's how everyone else feels!

Okay, now you're just making yourself sound foolish.

Like most people, I also have to pay my rent and my car loan and all my other expenses every month. When there is something that I want but I cannot afford I simply don't get it.

I know, that's a crazy concept. Let me break it down for you:

You are not entitled to anything - you have no right to crappy anime and manga. Just because you want something does not mean you can or will have it. I'm sorry that you can't afford 300 episodes of Naruto - suck it up and deal with it. If you love the show so much then you should be paying for it and supporting the studio.

Honestly, it's not a hard concept.

Getting away from noise like Naruto, let's talk serious here for a second.

Remember Spirited Away? Howls Moving Castle? Well, the studio that brought you those and other memorable greats is thinking about shutting down (http://www.geekosystem.com/studio-ghibli-closing/), partially due to financial pressure.

Or what about Perfect Blue? Paranoia Agent? The man behind those just passed away yesterday. (http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/blogs/moviecricket/50165998-66/kon-dream-hit-reality.html.csp)

We can sit here and look at Hagaishi make a fool of himself all we want, but I think we need to take a step back from the crap in this thread and remember some of the legends of the Anime world.

I've actually only seen Perfect Blue and Paprika (and I barely remember Perfect Blue), but they were both impressive. It's a real shame that he died so young.

I've been trying not to think about the Studio Ghibli thing. Surely it must be some kind of cruel joke, right? (That's what I tell myself.)

It's also worth noting that Miyazaki showed some interest in doing a sequel to Porco Rosso, which is unfortunately the only Miyazaki-directed Ghibli film I haven't seen. I'll have to fix that soon.

This reminds me there's a bunch of Ghibli films I liked that I don't have on DVD yet, I should do my part and change that.

Perfect Blue was also one of my favorite movies, I haven't seen much of his other work, save for Paranoia Agent, though.

Hey guys I understand the whole "We should all buy stuff to keep things going" And yes I feel that we should show love for those who makes Anime/Manga cause they have bills to pay and yadda yadda yadda. But Let me ask you this: If you were walking down the street and saw a 100$ bill just chilling there. Yea it ain't yours, Yea you should try to find who it belongs to because they might need it more than you or even hell!Just keep walking cause you should work for yours anyway! But Im sorry, Im picking that thang up! No doubt! And that's just how I feel about that right there. Don't hate me cause yall pay for stuff that I don't. That's just how the world is. But hey who cares about who pays for stuff anyway? I think we should get pass this and go back to what this thread is all about! And I'm sorry if I offended anyone who likes to pay for everything and I'm just not! I didn't mean to.:no:



Now getting back on the topic:

I thought Princess Mononoki was the Disney Movie of Anime???

That has to be the worst analogy in the world. Quit dodging the questions and just say that you like stealing things.

@Hagaishi: Back when I was a student with no money I came up with all sorts of rationalizations to justify that I was stealing copyrighted material; however, I never deluded myself enough to the point where I didn't call it stealing. You aren't finding something that was lost, you are taking something that is intended to be sold. Your wretched logic has led you to believe that you aren't stealing because digital material is easily obtained and there are virtually no consequences for doing so.

I'm willing to bet that you wouldn't take an anime DVD from a store. Why? Fear of consequences, which shows that you know stealing is wrong, but your only deterrent is punishment.

Disney being the studio, Ponyo would be the Little Mermaid.

Take a look at what it is when not awaiting the next in the line of 100's of the same thing you've seen.

Ok guys I give up! If yall call it stealing then ok. I mean some people would pick that bill up but I see that its not yall guys! Well thats cool. Call it what yall wanna call it. And no im not gonna go to a store and steal something. And yes in the same since its the same (Store and Net) So...........getting back to the topic at hand:


I just saw Naruto Shippuuden 175:

OMG! With out saying too much, for anyone who has been watching Naruto since he was a kid.....This one's gonna make you cry! Super good episode!!!! But what I will say is that it sucks that they changed up the fact that Tsunade in the manga went into a coma, But in the anime that hasnt happen yet! I guess the Anime will never be just like the manga! Oh well!!

I just read Bleach Manga Chapter 417:

I have no words for the awesomest that is Bleach! Ichigo is on a new lvl and I feel sorry for who ever is on the other end of zangetsu!!!

And also Naruto Shippuuden Manga Chapter 507:

More of the same(Fight vs Kisame and Might Guy) and ends the way everyone would thought it was gonna end. All I can say is the plot thickens! But WOW Naruto is the descendant of the Sage Of The Six Paths??!! That's crazy!!! Sasuke better be ready for this one! Naruto ain't a kid anymore!

I still can't believe you follow along with the not-ninjas so much. Some of them aren't snot nosed punks or grow up eventually but they ain't none of the ninjas everyone else knows:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCLqZOy6xt0

They may be employed to stop pirating, so nobody else has to pick up the tab - shits like car insurance, everyone else's rates go up to compensate for scams. :x And smaller studios of still great work not being seen close from no incoming money, while kids use their parents money to buy up the most popular snowboard ninja kids with cheapo bandana and a plastic engraved headbands so they'll never go out of business shippuden-baka-retardey-episode 4 crossover final mega battle until the next time we instant transmission subdubbed issues/movie 4422!!!

You're going to make me yell at some kids and get thrown out of something though.

They'll never take me into their scene of DBZ soap opera continuance filler episode fan flamboyance.

Poop spin or no poop spins.

They got me somewhere else, but I am also someone else so its fine:

Well, it's pretty clear not a lot of people are in love with you here.

Anywho, you guys know what anime was awesome back in the day?

Thundercats.

For some reason I've been thinking about how much I enjoyed it (even though it was kind of crappy in retrospect.)

Did you guys know that the theme song was composed by James Lipton of Inside the Actor's Studio?

Yeah, crazy stuff.

And I just realized that this show ended before many people on this forum were even born.

I didnt come here to be liked! I came for the love for Phansty Star and most of all anything dealing with sega! If you like me that cool, But if not then kick rocks!

Well, it was the top pirated game last year(or one of, either way a lot), and Games for Windows Live had an easy enough workaround to allow pirated copies to play online.

So I won't really add another, even if they're stacked already with eyepatch booty plunder bums who have scurvy.

Just recently watched Spice & Wolf season 1 on Hulu, and I'm really digging it so far.

I guess FUNimation has the whole first season (subs only) up on their YouTube Channel as well.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYgSSlMt4Yc&list=SL


I've also been watching Tetsuwan Birdy the Mighty: Decode. I guess it's technically not really that good of a series, but it's been a guilty pleasure of mine since seeing the OVAs years ago and I wanted to see more of the story.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RL492HPCJJ4


Also saw an episode of Murder Princess and Romeo x Juliet and wasn't impressed with either of them. Might check out The Count of Monte Cristo: Gankutsuou since I'm not particularly a fan of Alexander Dumas's works and the liberties taken with the original story won't bother me as much.


Oh, and I saw that Satoshi Kon (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/26/arts/design/26kon.html) died recently, so I went back and rewatched Magnetic Rose from "Memories" and Perfect Blue. Goddamned, anime has lost one of it's greats, and will he be missed.

I'm sure most people here remember this work of his.

Just finished watching Hokoto No Ken Episode 97:

OMG!! To find out that the last Nano Star/Person is none other than Yuria!!
The woman that Kenshiro thought to be dead!(who's also the woman he loves!)
And now his brother (Raoh) found out that its she who is the last Nano Star!
Both men wants her! One out of love and the other out of greed! Who will win???
Kenshiro or Ken-oh??? I cant wait!!!:-P


Oh by the way, Aladden... I mean Bleach 287 is out!
Hmm.....How could I put this....If it wasnt for the fact that Bleach as a manga have been out for 10 years and today is its B-Day I would have alot of bad things to say about this weeks time wasting episode! But Im not! What I will say is, I cant wait for the next Episode/Chapter of Bleach!
Was the episode any good?? Not really. Was it funny or kinda of funny?? Yea. Am Im ready for a REAL episode of Bleach?? Hell yea!
Well I'll just wait till one comes out to talk about it! Unless you have every last episode of Bleach (Like me) And just has to have it. Then go get it!
Other than that lets say :beer:HAPPY BIRTH DAY BLEACH!!!!:beer: And be happy that the Anime/Manga dosen't suck like todays episode!!





Looking forward to seeing the newest episode of Naruto Shippuuden this week!!!!!:-D

Comp: Was watching season 2 of Tentai Senshi Sun Red until recently. I need to find episodes 20+ with subtitles... Also the conclusion of Victory Gundam. When this summer ends, I'll have watched 3 different Gundam series this summer (Gundam ZZ, Turn A Gundam, Victory Gundam). Next is rewatching G Gundam.
I lied. Sometime during the last summer, I also watched Gundam 00 but forgot about it, since it didn't leave much of an impact on me. Between raping science continuously without a shred of remorse, giving the characters I didn't care about or didn't like the most airtime, giving the characters I liked the least airtime, killing the characters I wanted to live, and arbitrarily saving characters I wanted to die, I can say that 00 really isn't high up on my list of preferred Gundam series.

Anyhow, sometime in the last few weeks, I finished Mobile Fighter G Gundam, which was alright. Aside from the completely insane concluding episodes, and some moments where Touhoufuhai totally destroyed my suspension of disbelief, I really enjoyed it (not to say that I didn't enjoy how ludicrous the ending was, but when Touhoufuhai first appeared, I literally had to get up and take a walk because of how insane it was). "俺のこの手が赤に燃える、勝利を掴め轟く叫ぶ" indeed.

Since I'm out of Gundam series to watch unless I want to rewatch something, it's time to watch some other anime in my spare time. Seeing as I don't own it on DVD (it's on my comp, so I can format it to my PSP), and it's fairly short, I've started watching Kamen no Maid Guy. It's by far one of the most pointless anime I've seen in quite some time, but I can't stop watching it for some reason. Maybe that reason is the nonstop pantyshots. That's probably it.

Bleach Manga chapter 419 was off the F-ing hook! Im just mad that when Ichigo was gonna let his "Final Getsuga Tenshou" rip it was over! Oh well thats just makes the next chapter even better!!

I'm enjoying FMA: Brotherhood quite a bit more than the original series. Not that the first show was bad or anything, but I think the original storyline is much better.
