Anime and Manga Thread

Haha.

It’s just that around that time I was more busy with cartoons and other stuff. Around the time I really discovered anime, which was when Naruto: Rise of a Ninja on 360 came out I watched all kinds of stuff, but even then still no DBZ.

Hey, better late than never. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Don’t know if anyone is watching this Cyberpunk anime on Netflix. But wow, it’s really good. A lot better than I was expecting.

I wonder what they will do for season 2 of EdgeRunners.

Just finished it. Really sad.

I guess every season could be it’s own self contained story. Not sure if that amounts to large viewership since you know the outcome (meaning most of the characters will die because it’s night city). If they did a season 2 I’d rather they not focus on Arasaka so much. It was a central focus for the game and the anime. I hope that next season it focuses more on other corps like militech or even Arasakas rival corp Tsunami

Are there any anime out there that are like Yakuza? Cool, bad ass, memorable characters, serious story but also goofiness, and in that setting?

I know there’s one called Gangsta I believe, but not really what I’m looking for.

Tokyo Revengers has been on the radar recently.

Cyberpunk Edgerunners indeed is great. Four episodes in.

I’ve only seen Kill la Kill and the movie Promare by Trigger, but Cyberpunk is probably going to be my favourite so far by them.

I was not expecting them to kill off the protagonist in the first season, because for some reason I was expecting a possible second season to star David as well. But it’s clearly going to be a new story. Pretty much the whole crew dead except for a few and they go their own way.

It was sad to see David go but at the same time it’s a very fitting end. He was too far gone already when he killed the innocent lady at Arasaka, he really could have just let her live. And once he put on the exoskeleton it was over, his own body completely gone pretty much, couldn’t have had much of a life with Lucy had he lived.

Didn’t expect the anime to be so good, very nice surprise.

I’m excited for this series. Finally get to watch a Gundam during it’s live run. I’ve been watching EVERY Gundam series in production order over the past long while and have watched all the way up to Turn A Gundam.

Noice dude. I haven’t seen every Gundam series (just don’t have the time). But my favorite series that I would watch reruns on Toonami all the time was Gundam: War in the Pocket.

Too early to say for me. Will watch the first 5 episodes, but not really feeling it ATM. Honestly feels a bit too much like a Gundam themed Revolutionary Girl Utena parody for me at this point.

Bruh Chainsaw man is so :fire::fire:. I love how our protagonist Denji doesn’t have any higher goals than to just stay alive, kill some devils, get a girlfriend, and squeeze some titties. I’m sure Pochita would be proud lol

The newest Pop Team Epic episode did parodies of sterotypical moe dating sims and also otome games and I thought it was pretty funny.

I like how they even got the stereotypical “otome” artstyle on point lol. The art in those games is so much better than in “moe” stuff, Otome players have it good!

At the end of the skit Popuko and Pipimi basically ruin the game in some fashion and we get to see the player’s reaction lol

Also today (in real life) was the day Sword Art Online was released (in universe) and trapped the users in the game

I’m not an SAO fan but I thought that was cool lol
