If you like Bleach...

[Love Is Dead]

Which i'm sure you do  You might also like this new anime I've been following. "Monochrome Factor"
-It reminds SO much of Bleach, and its really good. It basically follows what i think of as an Ichigo type character, normal high school guy living a normal life etc...

Taken from Wikipedia: "The story revolves around high school student Akira Nikaido, a typical slacker living a normal life. That is, until he meets the mysterious Shirogane, a man who suddenly appears and tells him to meet him at the school that night. Though he is skeptical, he goes anyway, and subsequently gets attacked by a shadow monster. Shirogane convinces him that the balance between the human world and the shadow world has been distorted, and that Akira must become a "shin", which is a creature of the shadow world, in order to help restore the balance."

Akira's friends also start to have their powers "awaken" like Ichigo's friends (they start too have the ability to see the shadow spirits), I haven't read the manga and i believe only the first 4 episodes are out but as you can probably tell, his friends will most likely also join him to fight against evil.

So yeah, I'd recommend this to all you Bleach fans. It's good I promise =)
http://anime-media.com/ Has this series on their site and seems to do a good job updated with new episodes

cool i might check it ouot if i have time. and its good to see u around here again love

[Love Is Dead]

Yeh, I've been busy. But I'm still around watching Bleach still....
Also If you like Naruto, check out "Nabari No Ou" (it's not like naruto where everyones like living in a forest or something >_>) But it's more like a modern day anime. I'ts about this kid who has some kind of ancient hijutsu inside of him and he's got people after him for his powers (kind of like naruto, huh? =P) but what i think is cool is the setting is usually like a real city, buildings, schools etc...

alright well not TOO many animes for me now

and i dont watch naruto anyway...

[Love Is Dead]

alright well not TOO many animes for me now

and i dont watch naruto anyway...

Yeah, i tend to start too many animes at once lol
I'm waiting for 7 different ongoing animes to come out with new episodes and 5 more  I need to finish (I keep a list to stay on track)
Even if you don't like Naruto you might like Nabari No Ou, It's a good Ninja anime and not as "kiddie" as Naruto (unless you just don't like ninja animes in general =P)

[UrusaiBaka]

eh...just too many right now...even tho its only 2 at this point really

EDIT: when do the new eps come out? i just finished #4

[tribzi]

Those do sound interesting, and I think I'll check them out. Been looking for a good new one to start, Last anime I watched was Great Teacher Onizuka, which from the sig people can tell I liked. (Another good one if your into school life animes). Thanks for the suggestions.

[Inuyasha]

this sounds interesting i might check it out.

[UrusaiBaka]

alright. if u r watching this anime from anime-media.com, or anywhere else for that matter, the subs havent been being released for the past 3 eps...

just FYI everyone.

Well now that I've watched both Monochrome Factor and Nabari No Ou up to date, I figured I would post some feedback on them.

Monochrome factor is a pretty good anime, and my first impression was that its similarities to bleach are a bit uncanny. That being said, it does have its own originality. The characters aren't too deeply developed, but then again there aren't so many episodes yet. One thing I like is that the main girl in the anime is the main character's "right-hand-man" and actually does fight, unlike a lot of other animes where I find it annoying that the makers often make the girls helpless or some kind of aid to others like protection of healing.

Nabari No Ou I actually like a lot. The kid has a hidden power in him like Naruto, but thats about the only relation besides ninjas. Its a good show, and I really like how the fighting is animated, its very fluid. It's nice to see ninjas in a modern day setting too, and they made some of the characters really great. I dunno if its just cause I like this kinda humor, but I like the main characters attitude, very dry and unemotional. I think its a good show all around, so I would suggest it.

[UrusaiBaka]

oo! the link u have has the ep 6 of monochrome factor subbed! thanks! anime-media doesnt have any after 6 subbed.

Monochrome Factor is pretty cool. I can handle bad animation with good plot or bad plot with pretty eye candy.

This one seems to have both going like Bleach provides (when we aren't forced to watch filler)

[bloodseal]

sure ill check it out it sounds sweet
