well seeing as the manga not ended yet it still got some legs the last one was Vol 03 ch 12 I cant wait for the romeo and juliet eps

Naruto Shippuuden 167:

The art style was very weird but I liked it. It had a lot more action than the manga.

I always love that art style more but pain did pull some odd faces i hope they keep it up for the next one

Yeah that style is good for fast moving characters. However there was a scene when Pain was running like Sonic the Hedgehog with his legs spinning in circles. I was like O_o
Also that part when

Still one of the best episodes though.

Ryuken Ishida, Uruyu's father. He's the only one that hasn't been fighting up until now, and it wouldn't surprise me if ichigo's father had left him there as protection....

Had almost forgotten about him!

Yeh thats my guess as well

One Piece:
Good ol' Luffy getting back on his feet!

Madara Uchiha

Kekkaishi, it's pretty good. And the dub isn't half bad either.

4 episodes in.

Hey,
I love the world.

Back to 167: Did they invite some guest director or someone to design this episode? This is seriously reminding me of Episode 4 of Gurren Lagann.

AND OH YEAH. Digimon Xros Wars Episode 1 is OFFICIALLY SUBBED, BABY!

I have yet to watch them though and I heard Data Squad is actually pretty awesome once you get past the weird artstyle.

Data Squad was okay but the storyline was so boring and the art style was so bland. The characters were annoying. The lead character Marcus had super human abilities (jumping 100ft to punch a giant digimon in the face and sending it flying).

I watched the dub which had several cuts and changes during it's translation. A certain evolution scene was shortened because the Digimon had boobs and a giant digimon shaped as a bomb was painted orange and turned into a fruit. There were human-to-human punches also censored.

The music was okay though.

Since I only watch the dubs (not a fan of subs sadly), I thought Frontier was ruined by having the Japanese evolution music instead of the normal action-type music found in the other dubbed seasons. It works in the subs as they present a completely different mood but the dubs really don't suit it.

Not seen anything of the new one though I'm guessing the goggles are back?

I actually kind of like Savers, if just because the subbed version was more "uncut" than the dub.

And I just watched the first episode.

Overall, I'd say it's alright so far. Not too bad.

And if any of the 1 of you who watch Durarara!! enjoyed it, I recommend Baccano!, whose dub does NOT suck.

LOLDOUBLEPOSTINGLOL

I was in HMV yesterday and I saw the first volume of Naruto Shippuden. It contains 13 episodes for a good price which is cheaper than most of the animes they sell. Death Note still rides in the �£20 area. I have stopped buying anime in stores and just get them online.I mean waterstones were selling the omnibus of Azumanga Diaoh for �£18.99. What a rip off. Best to get it off Amazon or ebay.

Apparently K-On has a new OP and ED now, but I've still yet to see the latest episode. Can't wait!

And, I'm surprised that there are already Naruto Shippuden DVDs out, I haven't watched it in years so the pacing may have improved by now.

Are they related in any way? I reckon the Dullalala dub will be pretty good, since Aniplex are working on it.

Speaking of Baccano!, I loved it so much that I finished it...in 3 days...

Time for Abenobashi!(CAUTION: Link may be considered NSFW for extreme usage of the word F***)

I, on the other hand, just finished Shuffle!. It's not for everyone, but I thought it was pretty damn good and I recommend it to anyone with spare time. It's good fun!

/double post

Shakugan no Shana is some of the best anime I've watched in a good while. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that it's the best anime I've seen since Gurren Lagann, which in turn was the best anime I've seen since Death Note. So, based on this name dropping, it's easy to see just how good this anime really is. Go check it out now!

^England according to anime^

Y'all need to start watching Hetalia. Each episode is 5 minutes long. The opening and ending themes take up 1/5 of the entire show.

I'm only here to troll PK, actually I'm not, I happen to love Anime and Manga

You guys should check out a site called Anime Vice if you haven't already.

I want to jump in even though you aren't discussing anything I've heard of at the moment.

Firstly, Digimon Frontiers was bad. Very, very bad. I've decided to leave Digimon as it was, a great memory of childhood. I won't dare try to change that again.

Secondly, One Piece and Bleach are my favourite -currently running- anime. I like Naruto, I just fall behind every now and again and then spend a weekend catching up in one big zerg.
