I honestly haven't, but thanks a lot for the recommendation. I will definitely check it out and might even treat myself to a nostalgic trip by rewatching the anime.Did you play the gbc games for Shaman King? Pokemon-like. Quite fun. Still play it from time to time.
It is incredibly poor graphically (for what you get today, back then it was slightly below average).I honestly haven't, but thanks a lot for the recommendation. I will definitely check it out and might even treat myself to a nostalgic trip by rewatching the anime.
It might be a silly question to ask in this thread as it probably has been discussed before, but what do you Naruto fans think about the spin-off "Rock Lee and his ninja pals"? Shockingly enough, I only properly found out about it a couple of weeks ago and had a very sceptical opinion of it. Never knew how much I had actually missed by not giving it a try but it got me hooked straight from the first episode - the entertainment and humour is incredible, in my opinion, though I have to admit of being too much of a fanboy of the series as a whole so I view barely anything with negativity.
I definitely watch more manga, but I don't know if I like manga more per se. I read them in between sets at the gym. Bleach was very enjoyable for me as I stopped watching after the encounter with you know who. I think I might read the first 5 chapters of Beserk, and the first 3 episodes and then just decide which one.I tend to prefer anime because I often can't be arsed with manga. I finished Bleach on manga just to get to the ending, but it wasn't very enjoyable. Berserk on the other end has arcs that the anime skipped and are drawn incredibly well, so I prefer it. Anime skipping the lost children arc is a travesty in my opinion.
Wholeheartedly recommend the Berserk manga. But I would certainly recommend watching the old anime as well. Most hate the cgi anime of the newer series. I agree that the quality is low, but any berserk is better than no berserk in my book.
For what it's worth I watched the old anime, then the new one, then went on to read the manga from the beginning. I would recommend going that way because:
en
1. You get the start of the journey and understand more of the world by watching the old anime first.
2. If you read the manga before seeing the anime you'll be frustrated with things they cut, as seem to be the case with most manga to anime adaptations.
Also need to try these anime:Anime to try eventually:
Fate UBW
Full Metal Alchemist
The Time I Got Reunited as Slime.
That's right. Naruto got me into anime and manga so it'll always be my favourite series. Shaman King was really good, completely forgot about that show. Jetix was awesome.So is your nickname a mix of Rasengan and Chidori?
Naruto is by far my favourite, Afro Samurai was incredible as well though - it's a shame that there are so few episodes about it. Not sure if people know it or appreciate it, but Shaman King was my thing back when I was a kid, though I know the manga and anime differences put off a lot of people from the show.
Not much love for Samurai Champloo?1. Death Note

It's considered either one of the greatest of all time or pretencious as feck. Might be both.i've re-started watching neon genesis evangelion, which is one of the few animes i've seen. is it considered the dogs bollocks in anime circles or overrated?
was expecting this. Probably 6th on the list.Not much love for Samurai Champloo?
I posted this on July 19th 2018 and only got round to starting Naruto a couple of months ago, and I have to say....I think today's the day I return to some anime. Haven't watched any in probably over a year. Not because I lost interest, just life took over and there was other stuff to watch as well.
I think I'm going to return to One Piece and start Naruto. If I remember correctly, I was up to the part where Luffy and co were on their way to face Crocodile.
I FREAKING LOVE NARUTO!!!!!!!!!!
What is the third one?Ok, time to give the Top 5 a go (excluding anime that have been mentioned already)...
Neon Genesis Evangelion is brilliant. Saw it as a kid and didn't like or appreciate it that much (was honestly a bit unnerved), but it seemed much better after a subsequent rewatch. Definitely one of my favorites now, though one thing with rating Eva is it gets brownie points for introducing more compelling themes to the mecha genre (which was plagued with gratifying but ultimately repetitive and boring combat anime like MOSPEADA, Voltes V and Gundam)...so some of its appeal is lost in time (a lot like Akira, which was a reference point for Japanese animated movies). Would also suggest Eureka Seven and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann if you're really into mecha, btw.i've re-started watching neon genesis evangelion, which is one of the few animes i've seen. is it considered the dogs bollocks in anime circles or overrated?
What is the third one?
Cheers.
It's really engrossing, IMO — great world building and storytelling with a massive cast of characters. Part space fantasy and part political drama.
Ooh, if you're interested in watching it follow this order:
- Legend of Galactic Heroes: My Conquest Is the Sea of Stars (Movie)
- Legend of Galactic Heroes Gaiden: Overture to a New Battle (Movie)
- Legend of Galactic Heroes (Anime)
- Legend of the Galactic Heroes Gaiden: A Hundred Billion Stars, A Hundred Billion Lights (OVA)
If you watch Angel Beats and dig it, you might like Anohana, Clannad and Fruits Basket as well.Angel Beats
I've never watched it, yet I've seen the name/title "Clannad" sooo many times. Now that I think about it, I don't recall many anime which I've enjoyed the ending. That's partly my fault as I used to watch ongoing anime only.
Opening song makes me feel like I'm going into a trance.Haven't watch that much anime but (in no order):
I need to watch more anime.
- Hunter X Hunter
- Attack on Titan
- Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood
- Naruto
- Dororo
You should be in for a treat, then! Clannad [Part 1] is really mellow, and does good job of immersing you in Hikarizaka High and introducing you to a handful of really likeable characters...and Clannad: After Story [Part 2] is the ultimate feels trip with a really intense climax. I like Kanon and Air as well, but Clannad is the real masterpiece of Key Studio and probably the peak of the whole slice-of-life genre.I've never watched it, yet I've seen the name/title "Clannad" sooo many times.

I agree the original anime is superb. I preferred that strength rarely determined the outcome of the fight too and if so, there was a whole adventure Goku had to go on to become stronger, like finding the super divine water for example. Also, as it's the start of the journey, the characterisation is superior.I finally started watching Dragon Ball Z recently. I watched the original Dragon Ball series all the time as a kid and have rewatched it since a few times but for some reason I never carried onto Z. It's good fun but it's starting to get a little repetitive (I'm halfway through). Impossibly strong baddie appears, Goku is somehow incapacitated and so forth. The sense of adventure and cleverness in the fights just isn't there anymore, the one with the most power generally wins.
I'm watching the original, saw a few clips of Kai and thought it looked awful, the retro animation is such a big part of the franchise's appeal imo.I agree the original anime is superb.

Originally there was no division between Dragon Ball & Z in the manga though. The only reason Z exists on it's own was for marketing reasons and to highlight the shift in tone between the two. It just depends what your preferences are. Z is really good also, but it follows the more traditional Shōnen story route, with its heavy action & transformations, as opposed to the light-hearted nature of the original.
Are you watching the original Dragon Ball Z or Kai? Kai cuts out the filler and gets straight to the action, which personally i'm not a big fan of. The fillers contain a lot of the humour and easy-going stories which are similar to the original Dragon Ball.
I wasn't feeling the Wano arc and put it on hold a year ago or so, time to pick it up again then maybeOne Piece latest chapter. Now thats make its interesting again.
Just read about 3 or 4 latest chapters and you wont miss much apart from small details.I wasn't feeling the Wano arc and put it on hold a year ago or so, time to pick it up again then maybe
Drake i assume?One Piece latest chapter. Now thats make its interesting again.
The whole chapter is awesome. From page one to last.Drake i assume?
Awesome stuff.
One Piece latest chapter. Now thats make its interesting again.
Act 2 was too long for my liking.Just caught up with One Piece after a hiatus and the latest chapter is pretty groovy (a welcome respite because Wano Act 2 meandered a fair bit).
- Who else in a member of Sword? Maybe Garp, and for some reason I'm hoping one of Law or Mihawk is also in on it, far-fetched as that may sound!
- Speaking of Mihawk, I'm eagerly waiting for the eventual Shichibukai bounty reveal...his must cross the clear the 1.5 billion Beli mark at least. Please let him join the Red Hair Pirates.
- GG King Cobra
- Sabo Sabo Sabo? Whatever are you trying to pull Oda?
- Coby, Rear Admiral has a nice ring to it...
Act 2 was too long for my liking.
- Helmeppo must be on it, isn't he? He is always like a duo with Coby. I think Jewerly Bony might be on it too considering it was Akainu himself who freed him from Blackbeard last time around. Or Smoker and Tashigi?
- One thing for sure, if Sword is a secret agent for Marine, it means Akainu never trust WG at all or even Akainu doesnt know about it at all and it was one of Admiral's doing sound plausible.
- Akagami must be come to aid Mihawk isnt it? Those 2 seems close like brothers after all. Remaining Shicibukai is up for grab for anyone. Finally, Fujitora and Smoker got what they always wanted.
- One of King Cobra or Vivi must be in danger isnt?
- I cant wait to see Luffy's reaction regarding this. He wont stay put if his last remaining brother in danger. It set up a good beginning after Wano.
- Coby, whats his power like? Whats his ability? He climbs the ranks pretty fast.
