Tokyo Ghoul

So I tried searching for a Tokyo Ghoul thread but I couldn't find one, so I decided to make one.

 

Tokyo Ghoul is a relatively new anime, only 12 episodes so far of which the last for Season 1 was released yesterday 18/09/2014, it seems there will be a Season 2 starting January 2015 but Season 1 in itself is animated really well and is a great watch so I recommend watching it for those who have not yet seen it! 

 

Here's a synopsis that I have taken from MAL for the anime:

 

The suspense horror/dark fantasy story is set in Tokyo, which is haunted by mysterious "ghouls" who are devouring humans. People are gripped by the fear of these ghouls whose identities are masked in mystery. An ordinary college student named Kaneki encounters Rize, a girl who is an avid reader like him, at the café he frequents. Little does he realize that his fate will change overnight.

 

Here is a video of the opening in HD.

Anime to watch & Manga to read

12 May 2014 - 01:40 AM

So I noticed that there are a few threads about anime/manga recommendations, I have recently started watching a whole bunch of Anime and will most likely start reading more Manga. Therefore I thought it would be nice to have a thread where everyone can just list anime and manga that they like, are currently watching/reading, or just recommend to others.

 

I'm not sure how I can make it simple so that the same Anime or Manga are posted in the thread but I was thinking once someone posts them I can just edit this post directly so it would be available on the first post of the thread. Let me know if you all think this is fine or just leave it as is and have it so people can go through all the separate posts.

 

Each anime/manga has its own small and probably vague description, sorry if they aren't that great didn't really want to give much away for each series but all the listed anime are ones that in my opinion are *must watch*.  :D

 

Anyway here is a list of Anime I'd recommend!

 

One Piece - Best selling manga for a reason, amazing anime with great character development. Set in a world that is currently in an era of pirates.
 
DragonBall Z - My childhood, watched this back when I was a kid nothing more can be said but it is an inspiration for many other manga, a must watch.
 
Attack On Titan - Quite a new manga/anime only been out for just over a year I think. Can be quite dark, very good story and characters and also very surprising.
 
Kuroko no Basket - Basketball manga with a twist very good for those who are into sports or basketball, It is definitely in my top 5 list even if you are into basketball, I recommend watching this one.
 
Haikyuu!! - Volleyball manga/anime, only just started a couple of months ago, very good so far similar to Kuroko no Basket and so yeah I recommend this new anime.
 
Hajime no Ippo - Boxing manga that has been going on for years, even if you are not into boxing, this manga/anime has great characters and has good comedy as well as heart pumping action. One thing that might put people off is the animation quality or style but this is something that is easy to overcome as the story is so good.
 
Fairy Tail - Set in a world of mages and guilds Fairy Tail is a very good manga, awesome unique characters, if you enjoy manga which involves magic, fantasy along with comedy. Highly recommended.
 
Death Note - One of the best short manga/anime I have ever watched, unpredictable and very mysterious. Involves Shinigami's and otherworldly elements. Only 40 episodes I think, must watch for anyone who enjoys manga or anime.
 
Bakuman - A manga/anime that is about drawing/writing manga itself, very eye opening but also has a solid story. Interesting throughout, also has that slice of life element. 
 
Sword Art Online - SAO is a very good anime about video games specifically set in a world that has nerve linking technology to experience video games in a whole new way. If you like video games this is one that is recommended. Overall though brilliant and a must watch!
 
Accel World - Similar to SAO but has it's own story but also based on video games and with the use of neuro linkers people are able play different video games. Very good and fun to watch, just like SAO, this is a must watch.
 
Bleach - Set in a world where Shinigami fight against evil creatures known as hollows, I'm sure most people have heard of it or even watched it. Those who haven't really recommend watching it. Also look for a filler guide as I personally believe fillers are the main reason I stopped watching this. Regardless of it's position on the top selling manga, this manga was once in the top 3 and for good reason.
 
Magi - A relatively new manga/anime very fun and interesting, the main character "Aladdin" yes like the Disney movie but don't let that put you off from checking this one out. It is truly a brilliant anime very entertaining also recommend for those who are into anime that have magic or mages. If you enjoy Fairy Tail than this is one that you will really enjoy.
 
Deadman Wonderland - Short incomplete 12 episode anime series, however the manga is fully complete. The first 12 episodes are good enough for me to recommend it to others if you have not already seen it. It is quite gory and insane in it's own way, somewhat similar to Attack on Titan although a completely different story. Great characters and only 12 animated episodes.
 
Blue Exorcist - An interesting anime that is fun to watch with good characters, again with magic but not mages, more towards demons and stuff like that. Very entertaining anime and if I recall not that many episodes so this also worth checking out.
 
High School of The Dead - A short anime series that is entertaining to watch, set in a post zombie apocalyptic world if that is your kind of thing then this is one to watch. However it does have it's fair share of Ecchi, so if that bothers you than perhaps skip this one.
 
Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood - I have started to watch this series but have not yet completed it, great anime and worth watching but as I haven't watched it fully I can't say much else.
 
Avatar The Legend of Aang / The Legend of Korra - Although not anime itself, both these series are inspired by anime and are therefore animated in that style. Great characters and stories, I assume most people have seen these but if not I have to recommend them as they are really amazing.

Heartbleed Vulnerbility

08 April 2014 - 06:57 PM

A big security bug has been found that affects the majority of the internet, apparently half of the internet is at risk from it.

Literally anyone who can expose the bug can access and steal important data about users of a service and the attacks are more or less untraceable... Says that  the new version of OpenSSL is no longer at risk from the bug but its been there for 2 years meaning if anyone has exposed it since then, they could have been stealing data from any services using OpenSSL. Anyone else heard about it?

 

Here is a link to the article http://www.bbc.co.uk...nology-26935905

 

Also sorry if I posted this in the wrong section, I couldn't find any other section to post it :/

Anti-Japan Drama Ironically Borrows Music From Anime

05 January 2014 - 12:02 PM

Just read this article about a Chinese anti japan war drama called Blue Wolf, so they just used a Naruto Shippuden OST in one of their episodes and it's somewhat ironic that they took audio from a Japanese anime and I assume illegally used it in their drama which is Anti-Japan. Anyway click here for a link to the article, what do you guys/girls think about it?
