Watched the 3 movies for Berserk about the golden age...and got super intrigued so I started reading the ridiculously long manga lol. It makes me sad to find out that the series may not ever actually end with any closure, but I just can't stop reading it. D:

I love Shokugeki no Soma! It's pretty ridiculous early on, but there's an actual plot and they tone down the crazy foodgasm scenes later. The characters are funny too. It's very shounen like though so if that's not your thing you probably wouldn't like it anyways.


Also the original artist for the mangaka has a career of making hentai.....which is relevant....

Interesting plot





I'll see myself out of this thread now :(

:rofl: It's okay, that's what this thread is for. :lol:

Then there's that... :lol:

One of the only three manga I've ever decided to read (D.Gray-Man), never finished. The mangaka (forget her name) is apparently pretty infamous for putting a lot of her work in hiatus and never actually finishing.

Why Alberto7!!!! I did not expect Sgt. Frog mangaka ;-;

A lot of the other ones make sense though like Air Gear lol

Apparently she had some legal dispute with Jump over DGM rights or something......and a lot of other crap that I'm not sure is true or not....either way doesn't look like it'll be continuing soon....

Already finished ep1 of Shokugeki no Soma, and yeah...it was as ridiculous as people say it is

In a good way



And of course, I had to pick the worst possible time to watch this: about an hour before I start grilling out

With finals right around the corner, I havent had much time for anything this past week... however, there is always time for Fate/Stay Night when it's released every Saturday a little past noon. And holy ...., am I fangasming all over this thing, and harder than ever. This adaptation is so great. So far I like it even better than I remember liking the visual novel's namesake route. Rin is best tsundere ever, if I can even call her that.
Ilya :( :(... totally saw it coming, obvs, but it is as... heartbreaking as ever *ba-dum-tissss*

Got kinda busy myself, though I got a few recommendations from another friend of mine
Steins;Gate (I'm sure I've seen the hype surrounding it in this thread at least 4 or 5 times), Assassination Classroom and Death Parade

^ You cannot go wrong with Assassination Classroom you'll laugh your ass off or well at least I am xD,actually watching it as I type this. Death Parade is super cool as well! Also if you wind up liking Stein's Gate you'll love Robotics Notes.So far this year Funimation is just putting out great stuff

Never watched Assassination Classroom, but I followed Death Parade weekly as it came out. Wonderful show. Very thought-provoking. Classy and relaxing, but still keeps you on edge, if that makes any sense haha. However, I really disliked how they handled some situations, and I disliked the last episode. I just feel like it should have been fleshed out much, much more. There was a lot of unused potential. It actually reminds me slightly of Cowboy Bebop (minus the fact that Cowboy Bebop is pretty much perfect :lol:).

EDIT: it also had, BY FAR, the best OP of that entire season, and easily one of my favorite OPs that I remember. ED is also really, really cool.

Well, I can see why Steins;Gate gets such a good rep from a lot of people
Just finished episode 13 and I'm liking what I'm seeing

I'm sure everyone kinda knows, but in that episode, J Michael Tatum mentioned at a panel in AWA 2014 that he had a legit breakdown during the recording of one of his lines in that episode
