I hear that Naruto ended. Used to be "in to it" back in the day when I watched anime/read manga.

Rock Lee and his sensei Guy were the best. Someone fill me in on what happened to them.

Guy had a really awesome moment during the last arc, but Rock Lee was just kinda there.

All in all pretty disappointed with how it all ended. The Ninja War arc started out good but turned into a huge clusterfuck, and just got messier as it went on.

Epilogue was alright, but it was just really cliched. Yeah, I know it's a shonen and all, but I was hoping they were going to flip the script a bit and not be so predictable.

Well, at least Bleach's last arc isn't a huge clusterfuck, though I wonder how long it stays enjoyable.

New DBZ movie on the way. Two of Freiza's former henchmen gather the dragonballs and ressurect him. Enjoyed Battle of the Gods more than I thought I would, so I'm looking forward to this. Freiza was always my favorite villain too.

So do these movies negate GT? (I made it a point to never watch that series)

It seems all the new media can give a fuck about GT.

And you people better be watching The Devil Is a Part Timer.

I'll put it on my watch list

I need more anime recommendations.

GT was never canon as far as I know.

Yeah, GT was created by someone else with Akira's input. Regardless I don't even count anything past the end of Z as apart of the series.

Glad Frieza is back, But honestly, He shouldn't even be a threat, cause he would be revived at whatever his last power level was. By that point Trunks and Goten, and Piccolo should be able to easily best him.

Maybe He'll be more of a sneaky villain if he's physically outclassed.

They should bring back Future Trunks and Cooler too. So that Trunks can officially say he's killed every member of that family.

The 'escalation of power' dynamic in DBZ makes the return/resurrection of characters a tricky thing for the series. By the last saga of Z, even the B-Team could completely body early villains. Whether they're gonna choose to care about this for the sake of the movie... well this is DBZ. We all just wanna see a good fight.

Apparently Freiza has a new transformation.

Either way, nobody watches DBZ for logical plotlines.

So his final form...

WASN'T EVEN HIS FINAL FORM

WE ARE ALL FOOLS

Hope if they do end up making a new series, that they model fights after how they're done in the movies.

The show was awesome to me as a kid, but it hasn't held up well over time. Most of the fights are just basic slugfests, where as in the movies, they are much slicker, and not just because of the animation quality. They're just better put together with a lot more cool moments.

Personally I think it works better as a movie series.

The first Broly movie is everything I love about DBZ.

Also helps that the movies didn't have to worry about manga related issues like the tv series did.

Yeah the movies was a sub-reality in a way. Only used the show/manga for timeline backdrops (okay this is when Gohan's a teen, here's where Vegeta joined the core group, this is after Trunks came, etc).

And let's face it. Not a lot of depth in DBZ. You need depth in a long running series, but not in a 90 minute action story.

Other than DBZ I am dying for Attack on Titan season 2 and looking forward to the live action movie

Well, I fucking caved.

Was planning on only watching the anime for Attack on Titan, as it's fucking gorgeous, and I wanted to wait to find out what happens next through that medium.

BUT, the news that season 2 won't air til 2016 completely crumpled my resolve, and I went ahead and read the manga up to the current chapter.

I watched this, and really enjoyed it. One of of the first times I have watched an anime and instantly thought that it could work as an half hour live action sitcom or live action 1 hour show. I can't recommend it enough.

Also I got back into to Rurouni Kenshin for some reason, and I really want to see the revenge (jinchu) arc animated. That shit in the OVA doesn't work for me. Also Hajime Saito maybe my favorite character in anything ever. They should actually should have used him in the 3rd season of the anime.

I just watched the first 8 episodes of Higurashi: When They Cry.

Been a loooooong time since I've been that fucking creeped out by anything.

Finally binging on Death Note.

Really like Death Note.

This is crack for whoever's into investigations. A lot of stuff I studied represented in there.

Good show. Ending drops the ball a bit, but I still enjoyed the experience very much.

On this recommendation, I finally got around to this about a month ago. Then promptly watched the fuck out of it. I need more anime like this in my life.
Which is why Abridged is so damned funny!

AND WITH MY ONE HAND...I'LL EAT ANOTHER CHIP!

AND WITH MY OTHER HAND, I'LL SOLVE AN EQUATION!

Death Note Pffft never heard of it!

Yeah that chip line was deliciously over the top. Aside from that the show's fairly mellow, kinda like Witch Hunter Robin. Very dialogue heavy.

"Matsuda you idiot"

Not anime per se but I suggest you watch RWBY. Can't believe I waited this long to check out Monty Oum's defining work.

Attack on Titan live action teaser trailer. Enjoy.

How about some Star Wars/Gundam/macross style anime? This is already better than the shitty ass CGI Clone Wars and Rebels.

I like Clone Wars and Rebels... :(

Just finished Black Bullet. Not bad overall, though at times I wasn't sure if they were playing up the underage thing up for laughs or playing it straight... being dubiously or ambiguous about it is one thing, but they spelled out in the very first episode that the girls are no older than 10, and still added harem comedy and sime fan service elements...? That was a bit creepy.

Also, Kisara Tendo. She is what would happen if Inigo Montoya became Fist Of The North Star. And changed genders.

Different culture. They play loose with girl's ages and how they're physically depicted but they don't have half the number of pedos and rapists per capita we do.

I get that. But it's usually a lot more tounge-in-cheek. Or the girl will be about 18, and just developed like she's 10. This, again, had more upskirt, costumes, shower scenes, etc., for girls that were explicitly determined by the plot of the story to be no more than ten years of age. It was funny for the running gag on Rentaro, but there was stuff where it wasn't influenced by that joke at all.

Guess they're a tad more liberal than other anime. Not seeing stateside, I guess.
