What are you reading/watching? AKA Anime/Manga General

By far the funniest part of R.o.D. is the political subtext, and I say that with no intent to bring out a political discussion. I keenly recall the american president pissing his pants more than once.

Then there's also like... an Eternal Anglo conspiracy in the show? I don't really remember that well. Just that it's almost as unhinged as Baki in this regard.

at least 4 times, they really want to tell us something...

Bleach Episode 365: I like how Uryu and Ichigo try to make up a plan only for Ichigo to go out and find out the hard way that Ginjo can use the same techniques as him since he stole his Fullbring.

The Substitute Soul Reaper Combat Passes are meant to restrict and control the user's Spirit Energy when they carry it and monitor them. That's why Ichigo heard Rukia's voice the one time and why his Spirit Energy gushed out of it the first time he activated Fullbring. It's not really recognized by the other Soul Reapers, that's why the dumb afro one acted that way when Ichigo flashed it at him the one time.

But despite that, Ichigo denies Ginjo's offer to join forces and activates his Bankai to fight him, to protect everyone from him with Ginjo using his own version of Bankai against Ichigo.

And I have to say, it took me a bit, but I do like new one and how it still keeps the traces of his Fullbring in the design.


The last episode of the original series is next.

I think I put it off for so long because even though I know there's more now, a part of me still doesn't want it to end, haha.

The final Illustrated Guide to Soul Reapers was pretty funny too, a good way to end those shorts with the lights just shutting off on Kon.

Watched R.O.D (Read or Die), it starts first with OVA which you could say is a prologue and then the main show.

OVA introduce you with 3 agents, who are investigating an incident of servants reincarnation of historical figures who attacked US in search for a book. The main character is a Paper Master and can freely manipulate paper (like Konan from Naruto).
The main show happens 4-5 years later and it feels like it's not connected to the OVA in any way, the main characters are 3 sisters who are also Paper Masters. They are running some kind of detective agency and they got the missions of guarding a writer.
First half is a mix between missions and slice of life, then it escalates into the main plot and a big conspiracy.

It was fairly interesting to watch, kept me entertained. OVA and the TV series have different feeling. Like when sometimes there is a TV series and movie (the OVA could be a movie honestly).

oh, I was wondering who is JP seiyuu for Yomiko Readman, the Paper Master in the OVA series, turns out that this role was her last, pity

Huh, I swear I've watched at least the OVA but I didn't remember any Servants in there, lol.

Huh, I swear I've watched at least the OVA but I didn't remember any Servants in there, lol.

I imagine it's because most of them are comparatively obscure to something like Fate which uses a lot of the bigwigs, but the ones who appeared in the OVA are as follows...

Spoilers obviously

• Gennai Hiraga
• Jean Henri Fabre
• Mata Hari
• Otto Lilienthal
• Genjo Sanzo
• Stephen Wilcox
• Ikkyu Soujun
• Ludwig van Beethoven

On a different note, I finally got around to watching Season 2 of "Dr. Stone". Not a whole lot to say since it's just a continuation and resolution of the Tsukasa Empire arc that was started in season 1. I had a lot of fun and a certain someone's demise in the final episode had me tearing up. Definitely looking forward to watching season 3 in like another two years or so.

I will say, that once again the show has an absolute banger of an OP. That animation of Gen singing the song into the transceiver is absolutely golden.

"Trese" is really good, and has only made me more curious about the original comics.

Re:Cutie Honey
A nice extended/alternate take on the 2004 movie, the visuals are nice and the cast is very well explored. A fun short unique take. Good stuff

Thought on 100 girlfriends? I thought it was shit until i watched and i'm entertained by it

The ageplay baby diaper fetish mom was too much for me so I dropped it

What the fuck is this sentence?

I thought it was a bit bland on Ep1 and dropped it, and now I feel really vindicated.

[Laserman]

Yeah, that's messed up.

I'm not sure what ageplay is, but that and a diaper can't be anything good.

As a whole, the show's a bit of a mess, but it's definitely somewhat decent and fun. Not great, but still fun
