It's alright I guess. I caught up with it a couple months ago and read the new one every week, but I'm not as big of a fan of Naruto as I used to be.

So I watched parts one and two of the new Berserk The Golden Age films and guys, if you haven't seen these, you REALLY need to. Whether you've seen the original series or read the manga or not. Awesome animation, ridiculous sound & soundtrack and of course the same amazing story. It's pretty bloody and has some explicit scenes of sex and rape so be wary of that, not for kids. Pretty brutal.

Arc I is "The Egg of the King". I watched the subbed versions but it's been dubbed. If you watched the dubs of the original series, the voice cast is largely the same.

Arc II is "The Battle for Doldrey".

Arc III is "Descent". It was just released in theatres last week in Japan so it will be a minute before we get a quality release over here but I can't wait.

Same with me. I used to be pretty hyped for anything Naruto when I first read it in Shonen Jump and then caught it on Toonami a few years later. I've probably just discovered too many anime and manga that I feel are better. Plus the plot gets a bit stupid at times.

Bumpin dis for fun.

Just started Sword Art online and I absolutely love this. So glad its getting an official English dub with a good cast.

Also, crunchyroll (which I sadly just found out about) is the best VOD service ever

SAO was okay. It had a great premise and started off amazing. The second half fizzled out for me.

Yeah I'm not quite that far yet. I'm around episode 10, and I think there are 26 EPs?

Either way... It combines two of my favorite things in MMOs and anime. Its a break from the norm which is nice.

Also, this is the wrong thread for it in some ways... but I'm kinda in love with the DBZ mmo they have in Asia.

Triple post days apart for the win. Wanted to start Fairy Tail but Crunchyroll doesn't have the whole series. Gave Naruto another shot and I'm really enjoying it this time around.

Been watching the Persona 4 anime lately. Enjoying it so far.

Have you played the game? If not, be warned that the anime spoils pretty much everything.

If you've already played it or don't plan to, it's a great watch.

Yep, I played it. It really does follow the game. Still nice seeing how it plays out.

Re: Anime/Manga Discussion Thread

Anyone got a series that they'd recommend? Cause I am looking for a manga to read but it has been hard to find a good series to keep reading aside from Berserk.

List completed/reading at the moment:
Dragon Ball Z (who hasn't)
Naruto
Bleach
One Piece
Beelzbub
Fairy Tail
SAO (first season, and half of the visual novel)
Death Note
Rurouni Kenshin
Umineko No Naku Koro Ni
Higurashi no Naku koro ni
GTO
Slam Dunk
Kuroko no Basket
Puella Madoka Magica Magia (it's now what it seems...but I recommend)

Re: Anime/Manga Discussion Thread

^ I'm not sure if they have mangas, but I really enjoyed Gungrave, and Elfen Lied.

Phantom: Requiem for a Phantom does have a manga, and although I haven't read it, I have seem the anime, and it is awesome.
