Anime/Manga Aficionado's Lounge! II

[Siriel]

Dai no Daibouken is right there and is pretty epic.

The anime stopped after the first encounter with Baran though.

Siriel got me to read it, it's pretty good.

Not really a League per say. It's a temporary alliance at best.

Captain!

new sket dance out!


he actually did it. he drew bossun as a stick figure.

[Ghost]

Congrats, you just discribed Samurai Deeper Kyo
.

But I hated the SDK manga, and the anime is supposed to be several magnitudes worse!

Oh, the anime? Yeah, I haven't watched that so cannot comment on the quality.

Captain!

Ah, come on. You've far outgrown being my Lieutenant. We're colleagues now rather than me being your boss.

Ghost, you might want to try reading Tenjou Tenge or AIKI. Both martial arts centric, both have some pretty neat sword fights in them, could be up your street.

Not sure if their as outright shonen-y as you're looking for though.

So, in Air Gear news, Oh!Great continues his trend of making Sora progressively more terrifying by having him do crazy stuff off camera.

Quick note on AIKI: the mangaka used to do hentai, and it shows quite a bit during the first handful of chapters.

Hunter x Hunter:

One again it is releasing chapters. King dies and his that's one heartwarming shogi game. No wonder it was number one on the polls. In the current chapter, we meet more hunters and Rat is well... as rat. Gon's dad opposes him...

...only no one want him to be president either. Heh, that was funny.

Oh, and to the people that like Magico, it has been doing really really bad on the polls lately, so keep your fingers crossed so it doesn't get cancelled.

Hey guys, I've been thinking about giving Vampire Knights (the anime version) a shot but I need to know, is it anything like Trinity Blood or Dance of the Vampire Bund. Is it an action/drama type of vampire anime or is it more oriented towards romance and slice of life? Or is it a mixture of the aformentioned genres.


Whichever is fine by me, just tell me it isn't the anime depiction of Twilight.

I just found this manga, they better not cancel it. This manga is too entertaining and hilarious to fail. It's like an awesome cross between Orphen, Rave Master and a little bit of Beelzebub.

Inspired by my own words I started rereading the series and had forgotten about the fairly large amount of random nudity and so forth.

The series out grows it fairly quickly though. The most recent stuff has been particularly good in my mind.

[Dark Soul # 7]

Isn't AIKI the series where the protagonist basically rapes a female opponent after beating her? I've only read about this over at rumbles so I might be misstaken.

[Ghost]

Started watching Shadow Skill. The whole 90:s anime style is making me feel sorta nostalgic, even though I've never actually seen it before.

In Isutoshi's defense, it was actually pretty good hentai.

Oh, and to the people that like Magico, it has been doing really really bad on the polls lately, so keep your fingers crossed so it doesn't get cancelled.

If Magico gets cancelled, I will officially stop feeling sorry for the Japanese when their country gets ravaged by natural disasters. The fact that they killed Double Arts was bad enough but if we lose this one, there is just no forgiveness. o_O

Goddammit, you people. Stop leaving the fate of your comics culture to the whims of a bunch of twelve-year olds!

Honestly, his actual hentai had better writing then the more questionable parts of Aiki. -_-

Erm... I don't recall that offhand.

I'm rereading the series now so I'll report back if I find that.

[Siriel]

Oh, the anime? Yeah, I haven't watched that so cannot comment on the quality.

I thought it was pretty good. No filler that I can remember at all.

Just...really really old, so the quality of the animation doesn't match today's standards.

yeah but its actually a lot funnier than you think it is. but yeah jou is a bastard but he is always chased after by women.

Hmmm... I don't remember that.
