Attack on Titan got better towards the end. Genuinely interested in seeing more of it. Those forest bits with the female titan were awesome.

Just started watching Akame ga Kill and Tokyo Ghoul.

I'm up to date with Akame ga Kill and loving it so far. Fairly light hearted but has some pretty dark moments.

Only watched the first two eps of Tokyo Ghoul and it's been pretty good so far. One question I have is does the main character stop whining anytime soon? He's already beginning to grate.

I'm going to start Zankyou No Terror soon it's supposed to be very good. I hold off watching airing Anime until it's closer to finishing that way I don't have the gaps between episodes.

Stein's Gate was incredible the writing was some of the best I've encountered from an Anime.

Today I discovered One Punch Man. Not going to stop until I've read all there is to read. Shame the original webcomic is in Japanese, just looking at the art comparisons made me giggle.

Awesome series isn't it? :D

The original webcomic has been translated up to about chapter 95 or so.

Missing the first 30~ chapters, sadly.

The only irritating thing about the fancy One Punch Man is how erratic the releases are. Never believe the expected date.

And then when it does come, it's often missing a couple of pages which are then released a week or so later or complete edits to the previous chapter just a few weeks later.

Great seeing it in Murata's art style though.

Can't be helped at the moment. Murata's working on the anime version of Majin Bone as well.

Absolutely brilliant. It's about terrorism who can't love that ?

Only 8 episodes so far in and it is nail biting good so far.

It gets more brutal the further into it you read. I've missed the last 5 or so chapters as it was dragging a little, but looking forward to catching up.

Some of the artwork is just brilliant. :wub:

I'm surprised Sun-Ken Rock has never been picked up for publishing in the West.

Man, looks like Hunter X Hunter which came back a month or so ago, is quite possibly back on hiatus...

Anyone been keeping up with Space Dandy? The first season was pretty bad, but it's really come into its own with season 2. The variety of styles has been ace.
