So, D.Grey-man.

Anime or manga?

[Hazard]

I don't remember at all. What chapter was that?

My internet is kind of limited right now and the computer I am using kind of hates me, so I can't go looking for it right now, but I would say it happened in the last ten chapters or so.

Group of Claymores are fighting awakened beings. One of them has a technique where she uses her hair to 'walk' on air, later they are rescued and join the group Miria left behind.

Ok, sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I am not sure if I should ask here or in the marvel section.

Does anyone knows if there will be more marvel anime series?
(aside from: Wolverine, Iron man, X-men, blade)
I remember rumors about a Hulk anime. But could not find any info.

Thanks.

Anime is pretty good but has a lot of filler and forgot some foreshadowing. And stops after a certain arc.

So...manga.

[piloting]

Avatar: The Last Airbender has great use of coreography for characterization. The movements for each element are based in a particular martial art, and some characters or groups got individual variations suited to them. For example, the Earthbending movements are based on Hung Gar, but Toph has a particular style based on Praying Mantis Kung Fu, that emphasizes her need to keep both feet on the ground.


The reasons are simple.
1) It saved money.
2) It helped pad out the fights. DBZ didn't use a lot of fillers, instead it just stretched out the regular episodes to wait for the manga.

I already knew that about the "last airbender" and that's one of the reasons I liked it.I hope "the legend of korra" sticks to doing.Can you say that about that many other anime's though?.I guess the "street fighter II victory" anime,samurai champloo and maybe naruto series could count for doing this to.Would anyone say the same of the dragon ball series though like in "Kai" where it's closer to the manga?.Or is a big reason why the fights were bombastic,frenzied power struggles was b/c the animators were to lazy to do more frame by frame moves?.I should have mentioned that cinematography has a big part to play in making fights more appealing,eh?.2000's anime's sure show that in contrast to older 90's stuff even when older 90's stuff has new releases (*cough*.."episode of Bardock" anime where barely anything has changed IMO..*cough*).

Here is a VERY interesting presentation on anime esp. it's like cinematagraphy in the later parts

In the case of Naruto, it depends a LOT on who's directing the episodes.

The guy who directed Kyuubi Naruto vs. Pain, for example, has a penchant for adding a lot of extra action content that doesn't always make sense for the characters, and that's putting it mildly. Compare Manga Deva Pain, who barely moves at all and always behaves calmly, versus the Sonic The Hedgehog-running, angry-punching, face-contorting, Deva Pain from the anime version.

Seconded! It's a very visually arresting series in black and white.

So, new Soul Eater out.

And everyone remembers that Stein is mad as a bag of spanners and how maybe this might not be such a good thing.

Always though Evangelion's angel battles had sort of a Godzilla feel.

On that note, the SF2 Anime Movie had fantastic fights in it.

new medaka box out!

its the naked apron alliance vs. the student union.

[mathew101281]

I was looking at older manga like Fist of the North and it got me wondering. I me it seems like most of the newer anime has toned down alot.

[Siriel]

I doubt it.

Also, FotNS is pretty damn close to Seinen, if it isn't actually Seinen.

it was published in Weekly Shōnen Jump right along side Dragonball and other standard shonen fare.

[Siriel]

I never denied that it wasn't *technically* Shonen. It's just close to Seinen.
