Finally something in Naruto that actually "progresses" the story, not just pointless battles where Kabuto keeps summoning dead Shinobis. Hopefully, this chapter will put all the conspiracy theories to rest, or at least some of it.

Anyways, anyone know for sure what Ace's tattoo meant? I'm pretty sure the S means Sabo....Am I right?

Nah, you're over-thinking it think of it as the same as Luffy's '3d2y'tatoo

So true, I actually had stopped reading it because the fights were getting boring for me, but I read about that here and caught up with it today

In Toriko...It is simply awesome how imaginative Toriko's world can get. There are inumerous possibilities for new places in the Gourmet World. The Cassino is great, and THANK GOD, we got a new villain. These last arcs were lacking this. Oh yea, Match's return is great, his fight was really good back then.

Saw the first episode of Gundam AGE. Ill follow it till it finishes or till i lose interest. itll be a good time waster till the newest episode of Gundam Unicorn arrives next month.

Un-Go's first episode is great. hope this anime will redeem themselves for making not-so-good animes lately (Gosick, No.6, Heroman)

Guilty Crown's first episode was also great, but I got turned off because of the VERY bland lead character and the VERY common premise. Everything, other than those 2, are great

I watched it raw. Though the subs just came out a few minutes ago.

I heard P4 just got even worse. It can't be helped since the people creating P4 do not have a great resume to begin with

Matter of opinion I suppose, but saying that it's not something I think I would watch again, what with the mystery being gone now i know what happens.

Watching C-cubed, Ika Musume, UN-Go and Mirai Nikki so far.

What Gosick probably needed : Less episodes. Only a few episodes stood out... The rest, in my opinion, were pointless filler-like-quality episodes. I mean, it took so long for the anime to get back on track. Gosick, to me, is not terrible by any means. But it's not great either.
If you look at the titles Bones produced, Gosick wont even be able to hold the candle.

Last season, we had No.6 which had many amazing episodes. The only problem was, Bones butchered the final episode. Bones may have maintained consistency on No.6, but it does not mean a thing If they cannot produce a decent/great ending.

Then there is Heroman... I've no idea what Bones were experimenting when they Produced this.

On Guilty Crown, I had a few problems...the pacing was too fast. I got lost there thinking...how the hell does she know Shuu's name, suddenly saying strange things, etc.

And I hope Inori actually has an personality. The main character is obviously an emo, but that's not an bad thing, as long as this anime shws a good character development. Aside from that, great music, animation and good start of the story. I'm hungry for more

Haven't watched UN-GO yet, so I'll hold off my comments for it later.
