Suspense is killing me too lol. There are too many questions yet to be answered. Hopeful next few chapters will reveal and surprise all of us. Do you think Bleach anime will return once Arc is near to the end?

Yeah, there are already plenty of questions for Kubo to answer, even with the previous plot holes.

I am pretty sure the Bleach anime will return because Bleach is slowly gaining its lost popularity.

Bump. As seem Bleach chapter will not be release this week due Kubo's sickness. Hopeful it will be release next week. meanwhile, we should start talk about Bleach video games. Thoughts?

Yeah, bummer! Hopefully we might get two chapters next week!

I like one Bleach game for the PS3 called: Bleach: Soul Resurrecion

Do anyone of you like reading manga and/or watching anime? If so, which ones do you like?

Is anime Japanese cartoons? It's for kids, isn't it?

Is anime Japanese cartoons? It's for kids, isn't it?

Yes, it's Japanese version of cartoon. But there are quite lot of anime are designed for adults - such as Ghost in the Shell, Full Metal Panic!, Elfed Lied, Black Lagoon, Gunslinger Girls, Death Note, and lot more. Those are extremely popular along young Japanese adults.

Keep in mind, when I said "designed for adult" does not mean porno!

 

[respectyoda]

Is anime Japanese cartoons? It's for kids, isn't it?

Here is the definition of manga: a Japanese graphic novel, typically intended for adults, characterized by highly stylized art.

Anime is BASED on the manga. Hence, it is not only for kids.

Also, I take it offensive when you used the term cartoons. Manga is a highly stylized art, not a bunch of cartoons. :-p

It is exactly a bunch of cartoons so be offended :P Pokemon is Anime. and cartoons are just one of many forms of art.. Oh, and like any fandom there is a part that is Porn too. choose to view it or not.

It is awesome that you like Naruto and Bleach. What do you think about those manga? You should also read "One Piece."

I prefer anime over manga, but I don't mind reading manga if the series isn't too long.

I'm currently reading the original Akira manga. It's a lot longer than the anime. I think the anime covers only manga volume 1 and volume 2.

I've also read Death Note and Uzumaki. The Death Note manga lasted 12 or 13 books. That way, I know it actually ends. The same goes for Uzumaki. There isn't an anime for Uzumaki yet. They did a live action version and it sucked! If they did an anime series of it, I would probably enjoy it better.

I have started reading a few other mangas, but got bored with them quickly after a few books... Naruto, Eyeshield 21, etc. They way some of those mangas are written, they put in so much dialogue that you could read 10 to 20 pages of panels that covers the reality of 1 to 2 minutes. :roll:

 

[VamPyroX]

I agree. Anime is a style of art.

Even I don't refer to them as cartoons... unless I have to "downgrade" my definition to a person of "inferior" understanding.

For instance, anime used to be called "japanimation" years ago. That was the only word I could get my dad to understand when I was trying to describe anime. Even today, my dad forgets his place and refers to it as "japanimation". "So, you ready for this japanimation convention you're going to this weekend?" :roll:

There are some people who have nothing to do with other cultures that they can't even comprehend what's going out there. When I'm trying to explain anime to them, the only thing they can understand is "japanese-style cartoons". After I explain that, I leave the subject alone and never mention it again with those for they have not earned their "place" in anime culture!

With the statement of yours highlighted in red, the manga is always longer than the anime. It is because the company that creates the anime tends to do at most two chapters of the manga at a time and they don't want to catch up too quickly to the manga because then it'll force them to do fillers. Most of the time fillers are lame. Haha.

Yes, there can be a lot of dialogue in one chapter, but that serves a purpose. It is for the author to give us more of an insight into the characters. In other words, character development and thickening the plot!

There is one complete manga that ended perfectly when it should have and there is an anime based on it as well that I recommend you in taking a look at. The name of the manga is...Full Metal Alchemist.

respectyoda and JoeyDeafNinja...

Either of you ever attend an anime convention? No, it's not all about anime... but also about manga.

There's an anime convention that takes place in Dallas, TX once a year... usually the weekend after Memorial Day. It's called "A-Kon"... the longest running anime convention (not the largest). It used to be called "Project A-Kon" (supposedly after Project A-Ko). This year had 21,000 attendees. Due to the expansion, they're changing location next year... still in Dallas, TX. If you're in the area or living nearby, go there!

Yeah. Some anime do follow mangas pretty well, while others don't follow it much. Naruto had too many fillers. You could usually tell which episodes were fillers if the episode was a story on its own. Episodes that were more than one part to cover a story were the ones that usually covered the manga.

I've never read Fullmetal Alchemist manga, but I have seen both series on anime. I heard the second series covered the manga better.

With the statement of yours highlighted in red, it can be boring after reading a few chapters, but you must understand it takes time for the characters and plot to be developed. So hence, you must have patience and keep on reading. It is just like with movies and books. You have to be patient and watch the characters be developed and the plot revealed over time in order to understand how the characters' personality and motives affect the plot.

Right now, the Naruto manga is epic!

Patience, patience, and patience!!!

I am aware there is an anime convention that takes place in Dallas, TX once a year and I am only 3 hours from there. I don't have the time or money to attend such a convention. I am fine being home and reading manga or watching anime on my computer.

Yes, some anime do follow its manga pretty well. The anime can affect the fan base of the manga! Naruto had too many fillers cuz the anime often caught up too quickly to the manga. But thankfully, with the last filler, the anime has fallen way behind the manga!

As for FMA, the second anime series definitely covered the manga much much much better! So go watch it!

Oh, by the way, there's another awesome manga that you should check out: Bleach!

I know... I know... I know.

I do have the patience, just not at this moment... considering my current hectic lifestyle I'm going through right now.

When things get settled down, I'll get back to reading LONG manga.

Hahaha...

Tickets usually go on sale in September (maybe late August). When that happens, weekend passes are $35 or so. They go up every month by a few bucks. By the time it's April, it's $45 to $50... then possibly $75 at the door.

My wife isn't crazy for anime or manga, but she enjoys them with me from time to time. She goes to A-Kon for the culture experience as well as the cosplay. For her, it's like a game. "Oh, wait... that guy's... umm... oh, he's from 'Death Note'? Awesome!"

Just this morning, she saw a character on Rozen Maiden and said... "Hey
! I remember someone dressed like that at A-Kon!!! Now, I recognize that character!!!"

Yes. I know of Bleach. It's on Adult Swim from time to time, but I always miss it. I plan on watching that when I get my hands on the DVD in the near future.

As for the manga, that's another story... :Oops:
