[KingJ2002]

Hello... i'm new to the anime thread.

is Bleach cancelled for good or is it just on hiatus until more of the manga is developed? I see conflicting reports on this online.

 

[Solune]

Looking into it while putting the OP together makes me want to play it, more than anything. It doesn't look as if it's ever been localized though, and no fan-translation is in progress

I’m a sucker for game adaptations, so I might actually watch this, idk. the game actually has ‘MOE system’ which, no shit, involves courting good-will in the form of hearts...Shit...I actually want to play this now.

I have a soft spot for Shining games too. It's too bad that they ceased bringing titles over here altogether after EXA. Will watch for my haremshit quota and T2 faces.

As it stands, it's over. Doesn't mean it can't be revived later on, but it's not currently in the cards.

I would say cancelled. They have probably creatively exhausted themselves anyway. I mean holy shit how many episodes was that series?
Also its not cancelled so much as finished.
Thats what it seems like.

Also sure there’s maybe an underground otaku strong hold of like 2,000 that one piece hasn’t catered to, since it lacks lolis,highschool, maids, cat girls,dog/fox girls,tsunderes, kugilols,kudere, idols,genki,shu.

Nothing has been officially stated on the matter, so the status for now is permanently cancelled until further notice.

Which one specifically?

I am shock. It is a very fitting title.

I'm not saying it's bad. Its pretty fucking cool in an 80s classic rock sort of way. Very Richie Blackmore's Rainbow.

 

[-Minsc-]

Can't speak for how accurate the translation is, but the lyrics for Go! Kaien are awesome.

I am shock. It is a very fitting title.

It's one of the best parodies of forever.

 

[Defuser]

I am shock. It is a very fitting title.

It's a Hokuto no ken parody of Ai wo Torimodose. A very perfect one.

Gintama 138

Yet another addition to the collection of "Greatest engrish moments in anime".

Next arc looks like it's gonna own.

 

[iavi]

As it stands, it's over. Doesn't mean it can't be revived later on, but it's not currently in the cards.

Like Inuyasha, I'd say Bleach is a lock for a final arc series.

 

[Jintor]

Korra korra korra korra

 

[madp]

Like Inuyasha, I'd say Bleach is a lock for a final arc series.

Bleach with Inuyasha: Kanketsuhen's pacing would be out of this world. Please let it happen someday.

 

[Haly]

I watched Korra 1 + 2, and I can definitively say this is the show of the season.

 

[Brazil]

Mawaru-Penguindrum 21

The second awesome episode in a row.

Mawaru-Penguindrum 22

... And the third.

Man, they're on a roll. If only the first half of the show was this good.

 

[Instro]

Hello... i'm new to the anime thread.

is Bleach cancelled for good or is it just on hiatus until more of the manga is developed? I see conflicting reports on this online.

Cancelled for now. I imagine now that there is little benefit for them to continue running into the manga and then having to create filler arcs when the property is less valuable than it used to be. Seems like a good candidate to get some sort of "Final" arc when the manga is closer to finishing.

On the subject of Bleach, I did watch final episode. Didn't really know what was going on story wise but the fight was impressive looking. I'm not particularly fond of the property, but it is kind of sad to see it replaced by some awful looking Naruto spinoff. They could have at least given the time slot to something good.

 

[Crash Station]

It's safe to say anything I'd recommend for a comedy/gag series is all ready on your list. Though the lack of Mad Bull 34 is disturbing.

And that's why I said it isn't accurate. Will upadte it when I get home since navigating ANN on an iPhone is a pain in the ass.

 

[zeroshiki]

Hey, darkside has feelings too, you know. Don't just go posting his picture everywhere.

Hello... i'm new to the anime thread.

Over for now, but I would be shocked if it didn't come back once Kubo finishes the final arc. We just have no idea how long it will take.

 

[Crash Station]

I would say cancelled. They have probably creatively exhausted themselves anyway. I mean holy shit how many episodes was that series?
Also its not cancelled so much as finished.
Thats what it seems like.

What creative exhaustion? It's an adaptation. Only one thats creatively exhausted (ie bored/trolling) is Kubo.

Korra korra korra korra

My bros. Let us continue fighting the good fight. Seriously though, regardless of the semantics, anybody who considers themselves a fan of animation at all would be doing themselves a complete disservice if avoiding this show. That picture in the OP, it's how the show actually looks ALL OF THE TIME, it's nuts. And that's not even mentioning the expressive animation or writing.

Bleach with Inuyasha: Kanketsuhen's pacing would be out of this world. Please let it happen someday.

Oh man, It really would be.

You should download the demo of the actual game, and then you'll understand what the game is. Lol.

Autoplay without the UI would be, quite possibly, the weirdest addition to a game ever, but is such a good idea for AW, holy shit. They should just embrace the fact that it's an animu rendered in the UE and release a patch that adds it in, embrace it even more than they have already anyway.

 

[Haly]

I watched some videos of it and I thought there were segments where you had agency.

I guess I was wrong.

There are. But not every chapter is the same. Asura's Wrath has a bit of everything! But I don't think it's good at anything. Gameplay wise.

 

[qcf x2]

the question should be
who isn't a One Piece fan?

It was okay until Chopper came along. He's about as bearable as a screaming toddler in a movie theater. And the 105th time Sanji's "chivalry" was to the detriment of his crew was more than enough.

So yeah, other than it being overly childish to the point of annoyance it's alright. I couldn't take anymore after the supposed tough guys turned into giraffes and shit, and then

Spoiler

the boat came to life and rescued them

, which apparently doesn't qualify as an asspull if you've got your OP blinders on.

 

[RurouniZel]

Hey, darkside has feelings too, you know. Don't just go posting his picture everywhere.

Especially not that NSFW picture! It's not his fault, he just really needed the money!

I apologize darkside, it was just too good a joke to pass up. Feel free to throw shit in my direction in retaliation.

To be fair, Asuras Wrath would make a pretty awesome roidrage shonen show.

 

[PorcellainThrill]

Scrolled through the OP

How will the eventual outcome of Lupin influence the unholy direction vs writing debate?

Will Korra maintain the quality of the first two episodes through the whole first book and will I discuss it here?

Will Apollon make the jazz blue in my crippled soul?

Will Kenji Nakamura the director of Mononoke be able to provide us with yet another fantastic work?

And will the birthday of my best friend on April 1st make me miss anything important?

Fuck writing and direction. We get nekkid Fujiko. Hell even clothed Fujiko is greatness.

Apollon will likely stir the soul of Jazz lovers. I'm going to fall inl ove with the OSt I know it.

As for the other things, they probably don't matter.

Toradora! 19-25 (FINAL)

What a delightful ending. These feels that I had no idea it would evoke from me suddenly awakened. At face value, my predictions after watching 11-18 seemed spot-on but the way it happened differed from how I thought it would play out. Episodes 11-20 got sort of too serious business but hey, it was relevant to the rest of the series after that so I can't fault it too much. While I tried to suspend my disbelief, those middle episodes made it all to clear what was going to happen in the ending. I don't know if it's because I nearly spoiled the ending for myself before I even started the show but

Spoiler

Ryuuji x Taiga

was the obvious pairing mainly because

Spoiler

Ryuuji and Taiga seemed blatantly incompatible with any other character.

Knowing anime these days, the only thing that was going to make

Spoiler

Ryuuji

a believable match for

Spoiler

Minori

would be some serious character development on the part of both and while there is some convincing character development portrayed in Toradora, it was driven in a way so that the

Spoiler

two misunderstood "delinquents" would obviously be together.

Minori was a very divisive character for me throughout the show. Right until the end,

Spoiler

Minori is that bipolar chick who is either uber-energetic or uber-depressed and it was so bothersome to watch because she didn't come off as a human being at all. There was very little middleground for her but the end resolved that in a believable way.

Despite that, I liked the ride that Toradora provided. [borat]It's a very nice![/borat]

I give Toradora a 4 out of 5.

Well, after I go through the Toradora OVA and SOS, I begin Cowboy Bebop and I've heard that was pretty decent.
