This looks like Agumon. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few Agumons in my time, dood.

To get rid of shitposts:
>Wallpaper thread
>Waifu thread (We didnt have one in a while btw.)

Just cope with the thread.

Or an irl thread.

Noone would participate.

Eh, I would, but my only irl pic I have of myself is my rape face

ITT: Who would you cosplay as to a convention?
(If you have cosplayed before, who did you cosplay as?)

I'm going to work as Roy Mustang for Halloween. (we're allowed to dress up at work so long as it doesn't affect professionalism and/or our work ethic)
Coworker wants to go as Holo if she can find the costume at a low price.

Afro dude from nichijou, though i'd love to go as mr.satan but i'll look retarded

Not sure. In the past I always considered going as Sanji but now my hair isn't the right size anymore. If I were to grow it put again then yeah.

I cosplayed as Canada. NEVER. AGAIN!

I'd go as Kael'thas Sunstrider, since I prefer him over every anime character

if it was a wow character, i would go as a level 1 human warrior i think it'll be somehow funny

Just don't go as a Moon Guard lvl 1 warrior

Is he from WoW?

Yes.

I thought i recognized him

I would use him more if most people who attempt to draw Kael didn't suck. I've only found 2 actual good pics of him.

good luck with that

Only issue would be the orbs, which could be remedied through a thin piece of metal

What is your problem, man?
And you complain why everyone keeps talking shit about you

We know that's you Leal.

Why did you assume its leal?

I dun understand.

It's been 1 year today that i made my FJ account

Happy Ragisterday!

Now give a anime topic to discuss.

Why don't we thumb you down "for the lulz"?

No

Das mean

Don't be a cunt.

>"Don't be a cunt"
Says the cunt

How 'bout no? Kill yourself, itemfag

kissxkisa! What r u doing?!

Uh, hello.

Is that from something? If so, I really want to see that.

Technically yes. Anime = japanese for animation.
but no because it's not Japanese and it doesn't have that.. anime-look to it.

Well, I personally only count something as anime if it's from Japan even if it's in an anime style.



Also, is that the pony picture I drew you?

I mean your profile picture

Yes

Awesome. I glad you liked it.

No

what 2 styles

Look down

oh nvm

Sorry...This second part is a bitch to upload

is it japanese? if yes, anime, if no, not anime

There are a few non-japanese animes. I don't thiink all animes are japanese anymore

Wrong, anime is Japanese ONLY

There are multiple definitions of what anime is. But the one most used is an animation from Japan. So by some definitions other shows like Avatar and what have you will fit. But the one most commonly used would make anything non-Japanese just a Western cartoon or something similar.

anime = japanese cartoon basicly

>A few non-japanese animes

Name one.

I haven't memorised the Internet enough to be able to...

Argument invalidated until further notice.

Cyber Weapon Z is considered 'anime'

No it isn't

>Chinese 3D Cartoon
>Based off a manhua

Yeah sure

no

yes

The hetalia Japanese dub is awful in my opinion. Most the voices either sound like 5 year olds or 90 year old men.

Shin Getter Robo has some of the worst voice acting I've ever heard. The English dub wasn't too much better, but it definitely wasn't as bad as the raw audio.

Show was alright, though.

I loved the ending made me feel all warm

that's exactly i how i just felt, couldn't have asked for a better ending.

Nice.........................

So you have a Ricky Martin smile

exactly.

My face when.

ketchup got it :)

Eh some of you really think I'm new,this thread was supposed to be a joke but looks like I failed,been lurking since 70k.

lolfagit

omg go bak 2 randum!

nou

So I gave out my routine introduction for nothing? Great.

Why would you do this to me? I-I thought we could be friends....

I was kind of surprised about that as well.

Welcome to the board, pull up a seat and get acquainted.

Rules are as follows:
>No rolling
>No spamming
>Keep your posts anime&manga related, we are afterall an anime&manga board
>Other people might not like the anime you watch AND THAT'S FINE. Everyone has an opinion; so respect it
>Choosing a mascot isn't necessary but we approve of it
>Don't be a cunt

That's all, I hope we get along

i didnt even know the last one

I felt it's a pretty simple yet necessary rule

haha yea very true

Hello... welcome to the board. What's your top anime?

I don't really have one but I liked a lot Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, Berserk and Ergo Proxy, Paranoia Agent was pretty decent too. Now I'm about to start Deadman Wonderland.

Still a damn good list. Have fun with Deadman.

Cirno best touhou.

Hi, have you ever seen Rosario Vampire?

No, but I have some hentai of that purple haired chick with stockings, good stuff.

You should go watch it if you like vampires. Just a little warning, it has a lot of "plot".

I don't mind that kind of "plot", as long it's not exaggerated.

Oh, its exaggerated alright.

Like HOTD

lolfagit

ketchup don't ruin my presentation pls.

freind eh? i might just take you up on that

lucalucone pls

cats, they are everywhere. It only makes sense

Black Hayate. HOr Gilbird, but he's more fandom.

Inko-chan!

i only read manga when i started before the anime came out, i guess it's what you started a series with

For action series I prefer manga and for SoL, romance, and comedies I prefer anime.

wow, you got 2 thumbs down

Not anymore. <3

without a doubt manga, but i watch more anime than I read manga.

Sometimes it depends. Overall I like anime more than manga but there are cases where I prefer the manga.

hmm...a difficult question if you ask me.
If the animation and voice acting is good, then an anime could surpass it's manga counterpart. Usually I like both equally, but there are a few were the manga is so much better than the anime that I wouldn't even bother watching it.

Both give different experiences, so I can't pick between the 2.

It honestly depends on the series, but overall I like anime more.

Anime.

i would say manga but i haven't red enough of it so anime

Ugh.. I love reading manga, but it's faster and often much nicer to watch anime..
So I'm gonna go with the rest and say anime.

Manga >= Anime

Anime

Anime

What nii~san said.

I think the guy who is investigating /anime/ made the funniest thread today.

Depends on the power of the Kamehameha and the type of Kamehameha.

Naruto with all his power would be barely 1% of a Big Bang Kamehameha.

And a Big Bang Kamehameha is nothing compared to Farmer With Shotgun.

Well first of all Goku's power level goes from 700-ish to well over tens og billions during Dragon Ball Z. This shows with the kamehameha goes from being stopped by fucking Radditz to being able to destroy planets in a second.
And you can't really compare the two series when it comes to power. Naruto is more subtle than Dragonball where people have the ability to destroy solar systems, wherein in Naruto the most powerful thing they can do is probably blow up a country.

So, basically its a "technique vs power" argument here, huh?

Not really, it's more that at the end of Dragon Ball Z the most powerful fighters are millions of times stronger than the ones in Naruto, so you can't compare them like that. I don't know if you've watched Gurren Lagann, but I would say that's a more fair comparation to DBZ than Naruto since it works on a level of power where blowing soler systems up doesn't even make the fighters break a sweat.

Answer your question?

But really, that's not a fair comparison; the TTGL crew tapped into an already-existing pool of power, while the DBZ characters had (mostly) internally-contained power.

Maybe 5% of the power of a Kamehameha.

Because guitars are the lemons Fridays in the storage church.

I see.

Well, frankly, to get the most enjoyment out of FMA and FMA:B, I would suggest watching FMA first, and then watch FMA:B. I loved them both, but for some reason, watching them the other way around just makes FMA seem completely overshadowed.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first FMA, then Brotherhood just blew it out of the water in terms of pure awesomeness. A LOT of things will be different, but I still felt like it was a good experience. I sincerely doubt you'll like it more than Brotherhood, but it certainly has its merits.

Positives:
-For the first arcs of the actual manga story, the first FMA tried to go as slowly as possible so the manga could keep up, therefore some of these early arcs go a lot more in depth than Brotherhood did. The Nina arc especially comes to mind. She was a character for 4 or 5 episodes in the original FMA, and it made her demise pretty damn powerful.
-Also, the Yoki story. This was ACTUALLY in the manga, as well as the first FMA, but got cut out of Brotherhood for time reasons, and it's a damn good story. That episode by itself is worth watching, especially since it's canon.
-There are several filler episodes in the first FMA while it still follows the manga, however I wouldn't really classify them as bad. I hate filler, but didn't mind these.

Here are some negatives to keep in mind though:
-Way fewer characters. Seriously about 2/3 of the characters don't appear in the first FMA. This includes everyone from Xing, most 2nd tier military personnel and the chimeras, just to name a few.
-Character depth falls a little flat.
-The overall story is not as good, and the homunculi aren't quite as badass. Also, several of the homunculi are different. Bradley is Pride instead of Wrath, and Sloth and "Wrath" are completely new characters.
-Hohenheim. He's about as deep as a spilled puddle of chocolate milk. When he shows up in FMA, don't expect too much.
-The Big bad is no where near as good as Father.
-Lastly, the ending. It's no where near as good as Brotherhood. This is probably where the biggest divide between the series is. I won't say the ending outright sucks, but it's infinitely behind the Brotherhood ending.

Still, if you have the time, go for it. I still liked it a lot.

Also, my mascot was completely robbed of his awesomeness, because the first series had already split from the manga (and possibly ended) by the time his "reveal" came. So Selim is just some kid.

I like your choice of mascot. Selim is awesome.

That being said: Thank you for typing this HUGE input on this. I appreciate it.
I dont know if I want to see it if there is no ling. That would mean that Greed is old Greed. I hated old Greed. Greeling is so much cooler!
I'll put it behind Baccano!, which is behind my current project, Kore wa Zombie desu ka?.
I'll check if I still want to watch it then.

It's my pleasure. I love discussing anything FMA(B) related.

Yeah, as for Greed, when he dies, he dies. No Greeling incarnation. However the Greed arc is precisely where the manga and anime split, so his death is completely different, and he's killed by someone else.

In general the first FMA series is a lot more one-dimensional. You never get that "everything is falling into place" feeling you get with Brotherhood. It'd be a huge devotion of time to watch all of it, so if you only want to go at it in parts, I'd just say to watch up to episode 9 then. In that span you get the Nina/Yoki/Battle on the Train stuff that got condensed or cut from Brotherhood.

I've also got a second idea. If you read chapters 3 and 4 of the manga, that covers the stuff in the first FMA that was cut from Brotherhood. I would also recommend chapters 26-29 (this is the first Greed Arc) because Brotherhood condensed and changed pieces of it (but the first FMA fucked it up too, so that'd just be an addition...)

(And KIND OF on a side note, I also highly, HIGHLY recommend chapters 58-61 [flashback to Ishval.] This has nothing to do with the first FMA, but it bugs me that Brotherhood didn't really do those chapters justice. Episode 30 of Brotherhood made the war seem like a curb-stomp battle with evil Amestrian soldiers slaughtering Ishvalans left and right. The manga makes it clear that the state alchemists were necessary to use since Amestrian soldiers were dying by the hundreds, and that most soldiers never wanted to be there in the first place. Hiromi Arakawa actually spent a long time interviewing war veterans before writing this part.)

/end long block of text

I am actually buying the manga now so I already got through chapter 3-4, but not at 26 yet.
Thanks for the input, I'll look forward to reading those chapters.

I couldn't say anything in this thread better than you did.

Also greeling eating.

I agree on pretty much everything that phantomrose said, It felt like the characters are much less likeable (because it didn't follow that many too much).

And it has neither Ling or Greeling who are my arguably my fav characters.

This is true.

Greeling freaking rules.

You could do. Brotherhood in my opinion is far superior but I still enjoy the 2003 series in it's own way. Just go ahead and watch a few episodes to see for yourself. And ye the OST is great

Brotherhood: is superior, yes; the animation is better, and the story is more coherent. That said, there's no reason someone who watched one before the other couldn't enjoy the other, as long as they shut up about "But that's not how it was in the other/manga!"

Exactly. To be honest the 2003's own original storyline was interesting to me as I didn't know what was going to happen. It's like black butler, manga is far better but that didn't mean the anime was bad just because it went off on its own at some point.

Thank you. In my opinion, unless the studio is absolutely fantastic, nine times out of ten, the manga is better. But still, everybody enjoys things differently, right?

I still enjoyed the original fma while i was reading the manga

Pony thread would get the arse kicked by us!!!

not for sure

They would stop in tell us about friendship
I'll tell'em to stare into my shotgun barrel

we actually shit upon the brony retard cry of love and tolerance

That made me smile

I'll pass

I wana join in on that

aye

I had just downloaded random anime, and just thought "fuck it, let's watch this one"
Btw, would you recomend us to watch oreimo? I know it's an good anime, but what about watching it together?

Sorry for that comment. I thought you meant you wanted to watch that, not that you have already watched it.

OreImo is definitely something you both will enjoy. The whole plot surrounds a family and the relationship between the family members, along with friends. It has plenty of comedic scenes as well so you'l find yourself and your uncle chuckling quite a lot.

thanks everyone, Now I know what to watch.

1. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
2. Mirai Nikki

Season 2 is better

ಠ_ಠ It's such a hard list to do, it should be much longer.

This is as much as I could put it down to but I keep changing it.

I'm not fond of your list there. What other anime would you put up?

I guess it is a boring list, I suppose. I can think of 20 other anime I love:
Code Geass, Heroic Age, Bebop, Trigun, To aru majutsu no index, fate/stay, Daughter of 20 faces, Mononoke, Hetalia, Death note, Scryed, Spice and Wolf, Wolfs Rain, OHSHC, Gosick, Another, Maid-sama, BECK, Toradora, D.Gray man and Black Butler.

It's really hard for me to choose, I just put up the ones I'd watched more recently.

Those are still some generic animes. I'm not fond of most of them.... newfag?

Really? I guess we have quite contrasting taste in anime but ah well. Not sure what you mean by 'newfag', new to /anime/ or anime?

Yes very differant taste, I hate generic anime so much. It's so shitty and predictable but I aslo hate romances of any kind. and both.

you might get along great with a certain someone.

No. Indeedaleedoo said he/she likes 4 out of the 6 kotor listed. Also, I hate slayers and galactic heroes.

What DO you like?!

I speaking more about your responses to someone else's likes/dislikes.

Hm well, ignoring the time when I was very little and watched anime I started again at 12. So I've been watching anime for about 7 years though I will admit I havn't watched that many, just over one hundred. I've been on this board from just before 130K. My first post was kinda shit.
