The more generic anime/manga/otaku/Japanese culture thread (vol. Grand Line)

anime sucks

 

[briannnnn]

By popular request, this is where we talk about anime not called Bleach and Naruto.

A lot of other anime and manga series are ongoing at the moment but any discussion was always lost in Bleach and Naruto talk. Here, they can be discussedfreely.

I suppose if you have suggestions on what shows to watch or mangas to read, post them here.

Code Geass: great suspense and drama along with a protagonist very similar to Light Yagami from Death Note
Claymore: great action, fight scenes and storyline for only 3/4 of the season. The manga is much better and ongoing.
Akagi: story of how a young boy who practically took over the yakuza/underworld mahjong world by storm

If anyone wants suggestions for shows to watch/manga to read, provide a general idea of the stuff you like; it will help a lot as there is practically an animeor manga for almost everything.

Gantz is pretty good but it comes out really infrequently.

The cartoons/anime that we grew up on was so much better than what they have now. All of them are rated G, no susbstance. Like batman was a detective... Theselittle ninjas got Turtles in space and battling dradels and +$%$... its !%!%$%+ sad

also, Japanese owarai (stand up comedy) is seriously the best.

Agreed. Especially when done in a manzai.

 

[oskar kokoshka]

Kara no Kyoukai movies are %@+%$%* amazing, I put them off for so long now I feel stupid

 

[erickm713]

Lucky Star needs to come back

 

[briannnnn]

According to Newtype Magazine in Japan, there will be a new Code Geass anime.

An announcement of a new project was made last month but now they are explicitly mentioning an anime. No word on when it will come out but Bandai promised a"new birth."

I wonder if they gonna reboot the whole thing, Batman Begins style?

 

[rowenarrow]

Linebarrel
Blassrieter
Ronin Warriors
Code Geass
Wolf Rain
Eureka 7
Samurai Deeper Kyo

We should talk about some of the movies they have been releasing like...

Sky Crawler...etc

briannnnn, I hope the new Code Geass is the Nanally series. I need to watch the anime again.
