Okarin tutturu~! The Japanese Anime & Manga Thread II [POST YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS]

[Jam-Master Jay]

I remember there being a large batch of those Shounen Jump t-shirts a few years ago. Some of the designs were glorious and I always regret not getting any.

Nice purchase, SoK.

Just picked this up on eBay. This moment hit me right in the feels and so I had to have it.

I grabbed this when we were in Japan and our bags got lost by our Russian airline (shocker). Wore it poser style having yet to read the scene in question - was really happy when I got to this moment in the series.

It was beautiful.

Ta There are a bunch of those Shonen Jump anniversary designs up on eBay. Some are even at a decent price (that fellowship tee? Someone from Australia is selling it at a ridiculously good price, maybe even cheaper than original price, but it's only available in XS. The Japanese seller I got mine from is pricier, but I think they have more sizes and the postage is cheap, too. A US seller is selling one in XL and the total cost made my eyes water. I still thought about it but the postage cost was ridiculous. (It was something like $60-80 inc. priority shipping! Channelling their inner Nami, that one.)

Just found the HxH Gon hair design one. Best part of £90

One Piece 291: Reading the Nolan/Kalagara flashback. Is there another book that hits you in the feels over and over like this?! Bloody hell I can't take much more

[Saint of Killers]

One Piece: I didn't like the Davy Back Fight arc*, but holy smoke this Ice Man guy is something else Gotten super interesting again!

*Except the afro. The afro was amazing.

Manga recommendation from MrJeff and then, a day later, Shonen Jump themselves :







27 chapters available right now.

[Jam-Master Jay]

Yes! More people need to read Spy x Family.

That and Blue Period are two of the best new series I've read in a long while.

Not sure whether the show is any good, but the art on Dorohedoro (Netflix) (the light cross-hatching and fine lines when they're depicting the sorcerers) it's like Moebius / Heavy Metal Magazine brought to animated life.

Been watching this, doesn't fully capture the detail of the manga, but it more or less captures the grimy punk aesthetic. Other than that, the writing and world building is pretty good so I would recommend it.

I've put it on the back burner for now as it won't be leaving Netflix (It's a Netflix associated show) any time soon. So I'm going to try and finish off Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood first... right after I'm done watching Hi Score Girl. Again.

One Piece (City of Water): How could they be so casual with all that loot?!!

[Ironhide]

Extremely random but that bit has reminded me of this (skip to 0.50)

[Choclet-Milk]

I'm pretty late to the party, but Erased is on Netflix so I gave it a go. It had its hooks in me from ep 1, which isn't something a lot of series can say!

One Piece (c367 / Rocketman on way to Enies Lobby): Sniper King

Is that T-Bone guy the next shipmate?

You must watch the anime clip of Sniper King.

[Lagamorph]

Did the first anime ever actually have an ending?

Though I recall the manga ending being a bit of a downer wasn't it? Didn't the bad guy basically win in the end?

[Choclet-Milk]

I've got literally no clue, I've only seen about 10 episodes on a knock-off Chinese boxset with aggressively awful English subs. My missus and I still quote it on the regular.

"Amiditwou in Spring Rain! SUPER BODY!"

I'm fairly sure nobody was referred to by the same name twice in succession...

[Lagamorph]

I'd forgotten how much I love this,

[Choclet-Milk]

ngl I'm tempted to torrent the Big Green dubs of the movies just for the craic

[Saint of Killers]

Never heard of them. Thought they were fan-made for giggles. Holy gooseberry fool at them actually being broadcast irl.

[Choclet-Milk]

Oh God yeah, they were made by a French company called AB Groupe. They were actually responsible for creating the Ocean and Blue Water dubs, albeit using the respective dubbing studios. They went in-house for all the films though, as I'm sure you can tell, and they actually released a few on DVD in the UK.
