Yeah, I'm looking at the comments before I start watching Bleach again, it's all filler recently. But I guess it's letting the Manga catch up to it.

Started watching Lucky Star thismorning, very funny show

xD Yeah it's awesome. So pervy, but that's the comedy. The show's cheesely-funny when it advertises The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - they're the same creaters.

Okay, my views on the animes mentioned

Deathnote – fantastic, a must see

Please! Teacher – very funny, one to watch

Bleach – the first 70 odd seasons are absolutely fantastic, but then the filler is poor, then it gets good again when the Arancar appear, then the bopring fillers start again

Naruto – fantastic up until episode 125

Shuffle – okay… but becomes terribly angst by the end

Fate/Stay night – good, but felt rushed at the end

Air Gear – bought, but never watched

Air Master – funny, very funny, one to see

Avatar – I’ve seen 5 episodes and loved them, I would like to see more, but I’m not willing to buy the DVDs at their current price.

ah! my goddess – classic, everyone must watch the OVA, the movie, the Series, and the series 2.

DNangel – I thought it was pretty average actually

Blood + - average

Code Geass – very good, annoying cliff-hanger though


Full Metal Panic – fantastic, everyone must watch

Cowboy Bebop – very good, one to watch

Ghost in the Shell SAC – joy-gasmic

Neon Genesis Evangelion – angsty as hell, but a classic

Fullmetal Alchemist – I thought this was boring honestly

Vision of Escaflowne TV – yep, a must see

Gunbuster – never saw it, but the OVA sequel is fantastic

Haibane Renmei – not a must see, but very good

Kino's Journey – words cannot express how much I hated this

Last Exile – modern classic

Giant Robo – THIS IS POSSIBLY ONE OF THE GREATEST ANIMES OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that said there are hundreds of series/movies I've seen that are worth a watch, but I would say the above cover a wide range of tastes and genres including action and comedy

thanks big time for those who recommended some.. thanks !

A question for those that have watched Death Note.

Is the series continually good throughout its run? I've watched the first couple of episodes and was really impressed would buying the DVD be worth it?

Yeah its good all the way to the end, but the ending did seem rushed however I never read the manga but people said it is faithful page to page with little differences until the near/mello arc and the ending. The manga reader I know did not like the ending to Death Note because some parts and emotions were left out or changed.

I thought the ending was o.k. but the end does have this I knew what you were going to do, then the other person is like i knew you knew I knew what i was going to do, then the other guy is like i knew you knew you knew i knew that you knew what i was going to do vibe.

I liked Death note, and as someone who has seen both the anime and read the manga, the show does stay almost word for word with the manga with a couple of exceptions - certainly there are no filler eps.

thanks for the info.. a lot of thanks.

To that list of must see anime earlier Lightyagami, can I add the first half of Excel Saga (hilarious comedy show, although loses the plot half way through) and Zone of the Enders (the series is an absoluely fantastic action-comedy sci-fi show about one mans fight to keep his family together while stopping an all out war from breaking out between Mars and Earth - absolutely fanastic)

I've seen/watching:

Sailor Moon
Trinity Blood (Rewatching)
Blood+ (Watching)
Ghost In the Shell
GITS GIG (Watching)
Inuyasha
Cowboy Bebop
Trigun
Tenchi Mayo (All of them)
Escaflowne
Rurouni Kenshin
Fullmetal Alchemist
Naruto (Watching)
Yu-Gi-Oh (The second series)
Yu-Gi-Oh GX (I keep missing eppys)
Bleach (Watching)

Has anyone seen Cromartie High school? Before I watched it I was seriously doubting it, but after the first episode when the guy is eating pencils..... I dunno but I think its now one of my favourites.

Also does anyone know a site where I can find the European release date for Death note? Or if one of you knows that would be great.

I really liked ep 1, so I bought DVD vol 1... and then it just seemed to get really state by episode 4, so I didn't buy the rest. I should probably go back and buy the rest, maybe it got better again, but I feared it would be like Excel Saga, that was fantastic for the furst half and then just lost the plot.



Nope

P.S. I know I've said it before, but I just had to say it again - Claymore is totally and utterly fantastic

Have you seen the Cromartie High School The Movie with Takamasa Suga (KR Ryuuki's Shinji Kidou) on it?

My favorite animes are:

Samurai Champloo
Saint Seiya
Cowboy Bebop
Speed Grapher
Flag
Yugo the Negotiator and...
Kamen No Ninja Akakage.

Claymore 20 isn't out yet, if it is. Linkage meh~

Eclipse seem to have either slowed down their subbing, or Claymore wasn't on this week.

No, it isn't out yet, last one out was last weeks 19. I was just watching Zone of the Enders again, and as I finished it moved onto a helping of Tenjou Tenge (an okay fighting anime, fantastic animation, but average plot) when I thought 'God I wanna see more Claymore' and just had to come online and state that.

I too can't get enough claymore I must of watched all 19 episodes 2 or more times already and read the whole manga including the ES releases many times over in fact I wanted to start reading the manga start to finish again.

Odd episode 20 haven't come out yet or was it not scheduled to air yet this week?

Edit

It did air eclipse is just taking their time i guess read some impressions saying no fighting but character and plot development still should be one to look forward to see.

Eclipse haven't released theirs, but another sub is out - NoTaNoN

It's a good episode, episode 21 should be great.

Can't wait to see the complications of Riki and Clare in the future.

Eclipse realised ep 20 last night. As Chokmah says, character development episode, looks like a big fight comming for next episode.

I also saw Death Note the live action movie last night.... dear god the production values were rubbish lol ... and the acting. Still I enjoyed it.

guys... one question. when will code geass 26 be released or is that a start of a new season?

There is no ep 26, 25 was the season cliff hanger. Season 1 was so popular they have decided to go ahead an make a season 2. So we have to wait until next year for the conclusion I'm afraid. It was originally going to end after one season, but because of the high ratings they stopped making them at episode 23 and went and redid the end so it left it open for a sequal, hence eps 24-25 that we got after 3 months delay are rewrites of the original ending that don't finish it as they were originally going too.

cool, I liked this series






A 55 minute live action adaptation of Ajiko Kojima's Tonari no 801-chan manga will go on sale in Japan on September 5th.

Did anyone here into Tokusatsu?

I googled that and got shows with guys that look like rejected mighty morphin power rangers.

Do you have a link, is it an anime?

I think he means live-action movies, in which case, not I don't like japanese live-action, tends to be poorly acted and low budget

I saw ep 21 of claymore, and can I just say;

The stupid claymores deserved to die the way they were fighting that guy one on one. For crying out loud a super powerful enemy appears and starts attacking you and you all stand there like statues awaiting your turn?! No, you rish the gut and how for the best!

This episode some what did not translate the manga to well. Lion king is very powerful in speed and strength in the Manga none of the weaker warriors could keep up with his speed. They were not standing there he was just to fast for them to react. In fact that part when Undine blocks his attack did not even happen in the manga she did not block it and got cut down quickly, and Jean didn't have time to do her special move considering it takes a couple of minutes to make 21 twist on her arm she got gutted while she tried to defend against his attacks.

Edit

Raki also did not find out Priscilla was an awakened being either, as of now Raki in the manga doesn't even know Priscilla is an awakened one.

what's with the censor?

Its incase nobody has watched the epsiode yet, and doesn't know half the main claymores are now dead. Just since most of the people are watching the show, it would be a shame to spoil it for them. It'll be a little redundant soon, I assume most of us watch the claymore eps within a few days of its release


Also, it would be pretty funny if we made an entire page of spoilers

Your mistaken Talon none of the main claymore Characters are dead only Veronica, Jean, and Undine are dead, we all just met these characters in the last 3 episodes (except for jean who we met in episode 15 i think. Unless you meant half the team captains then yes they are dead. Too bad really i wish we could of seen more of Undine in action

I liked the episode, the reason they all stood there is because Silver-lion-king was too fast. Also he was targetting the team captains who hate to have help.

Clare also needs to get stonger, I mean... She has Teresa in her!

Undine dying was so anti-climatic, after getting some of the much needed attention, as did Flora, they were just killed off without any emotion or anything, and Jean dying... I was hoping that would push Clare to the edge in next episode so she could possibly partially awaken to be on par with Rigardo, and some of the other Claymores were just throw away characters, like Veronica...

However, I can see why Raki never attacked Priscilla either, even though she's pretty much eating someone and crying out for her dead family which draws parallels for Raki.

They better show Isley's awakened form before the series run ends, or I'll cry.

I hope it's like Bleach and has no breaks.

By the way, has Bleach ended it's fillers yet?

They end @ episode 138 when the canon picks up again.

They did make it known the success of the mission was virtually zero and they would have to find a way to survive! Note survive not win the battle but survive the battle so don't be surprised when more Claymores die and only a handful survive we can guess of course Clare, will survive. I read the manga so i already know who survives, but read the mangas if you can they are good and there is two special issues of claymore that might not get turned into animes Claymore ES 1, 2 and 3 is rumored to be coming out soon. Until they resume the manga from where they left off in November

Ages ago, but then they started new fillers recently




Plus they need more Claymore, it can't end in 5 more episodes, I want more

The whole "survival" thing happens a lot in Claymore with very few making it out alive...




Why not just pick up on the manga once its run ends...? It's what I'm doing, though it is nearly over, and it's one of my favourite series now.

Crap i didn't know it was going to only have 26 episodes sh** that sucks

I guess Clare is going to meet up with Priscilla and Isley in Peita and kill them, and walk in the sunset with Raki. Man whatever now i feel like not watching it anymore and just read the manga.

I don't see how Clare is in the position to kill anyone right now... thats why they need season 2

Agreed its like the whole build up of the plot and minor plots from episode 8 to episode 18 was for no reason after the series ends there is going to be not little plot holes here and there there is going to gaping plot holes.

It does appears there is going to be a showdown though they already exposed Priscilla to Raki as an awakened being which did not happen in the manga and Isley already said they are heading to Pieta. So the show is already messed up and going in that direction to a fight with Clare and Priscilla.

Im going to take it off my recommendation list Claymore is going to be one of those anime not worth watching because the manga is far superior.

I hope I'm wrong and they follow the manga and its just Madhouse Studios not wanting to do another season and another studio picks it up .

That won't be likely until... 2010 v.v;

Reason being, they only release a manga every month, they began in 2001 so those 6 years of (6x12 = ) 72 mangas have been squashed into 26 episodes.

=/

In november Claymore will be in Weekly Shonen Jump so we should get manga scans every week or bi-weekly.

Just thought Id post this since I noticed you guys are talking about news. I've created an anime news site that gathers news from popular blogs, news sites, and torrent trackers. It's in beta right now (testing for bugs and adding new features) so dont expect it to load super fast or work exactly right. Feel free to post on my forums if you find any bugs or just want to suggest a new feature.

Thanks
