I can't believe Hajime no Ippo is still going

I never realized shounens can last this long

How long?

Since 1989

I belive the latest chapter is 1,164

@Towelie Just watched the OVA for Noblesse and holy shit it's pretty fucking weird

it's like they tried to replicate Japans way of speaking in anime

the girls voices don't match their faces at all it's so weird

Perhaps it's the disparity in their way of speaking since they're 2 different languages and I'm not used to it at zll it's still pretty great to see a Manhwa get an adaption

I see two ovas for Noblesse. Idk which to watch first. @nrg

Noblesse: Awakening or Noblesse: The Beginning of Destruction?

both are OAV roo, but I think one of them has japanese dub

they have nothing in common so you can watch either one

OAV, OVA, Anime... Too many names. I just call em anime. xD

Cartoons.

It's an AFPSSM.

"Animated Frames Played in Sequence to Simulate Motion"

well OAV and OVA are the same, didn't mean to correct you on that point, I was just telling you that they were both original animated video and thus, as "original" they weren't part of the manhwa

so you could watch either of them

Ahh I see what you mean. But still, wouldn't one take place before the other?

Like in the comments, people said that Awakening takes place after.

well, there's one that is a prequel to the whole story from the manhwa

but it's not required to watch it first as it went out after 4years of ongoing weekly chapters of the manhwa

So that's what you meant when you said "weren't part of the manhwa", yeah?

it re-introduce characters that you see in later chapters

yeah, they are canon, but they were created specifically for the anime

Also it should be noted I never heard of the series before. lol. I just signed in and said to myself that I'll watch whatever Nrg just watched.

this part of the story is mentionned a bit in the manhwa, but they made an anime out of it

well, it's a really basic shonen type of manhwa with "vampire" and "werewolf" lol

not my favorite stuff, but I keep reading it, the last chapters are fun

and no, it has nothing to do with twilight >.>"

The plot summary on one of them didn't sound to bad. Something bout some dude waking up from a 800+ year nap then becoming a high school student.

I like high school stuff, so I said fuck it and downloaded it.

that's the begining of the manwha

this OAV (or OVA, whatever) is a bit rushed but you get to see the basic concept of the story

the other one is a prequel that happened before his 800+ years slumber

That's another thing I noticed in the comment section. People said it had weird pacing.

but you might not get everything as it doesn't really introduce well knowns characters

It's still going to be a few days before I watch it, though. I'm going to finish watching Great Teacher Onizuka first. Then watch the prequel anime, Young Onizuka. Then I have the Prison School OVA episode to watch after that, then I gotta catch up on Nanbaka and Konosuba...

So maybe in a week, maybe two weeks. lol.

oh Young GTO, been age

I take a week long break from anime, then they all just kinda piled up on me. 😂

anyway, the OAV you downloaded is basically a "one shot" anime that resume like the first 25 chapters or so

hence the rushed feeling that some people had
