This section needs a dedicated news thread. There are enough announcements, rumors, and happenings between manga and anime that I think we can keep one going.

To start things off, High School DxD is getting another TV season. No details about the show yet aside from an official announcement that it's in production and on its way.

Also, Outlaw Star is finally getting an English language Blu-ray release on Dec. 5th in the UK. It's the remastered version and will have both the sub and dub on it. It will have a few galleries, a clean OP/ED, and include some commercials and the pilot, and an art book as well.

It will be region locked by the way, so anyone looking to import will need a region free player. There is also no digital release planned, disk only.

Most people think they're going to adapt DX with the new season, but it's not been discussed yet in a channel I'm privy to. Also WOOOOOO OUTLAW STAR.

Assassination Classroom spin off Koro Sensei Quest! is getting an anime adaption.

A short will screen with the movie that is being released in a few days, and the anime will continue from where it leaves off.

Also, this looks interesting...

I don't care how good he thinks the franchise is, that's just unnecessary...

Fixed.

I dunno what's up with that, but even today it was only displaying one image for me and the others weren't displaying at all, so I didn't realize the extra links were even there.

I ended up saving the image and putting it on photobucket so it would work properly. That's still the only one that displayed for me in this thread. There weren't even the little dead or not loading properly image boxes.

I did try multiple times to get the image to display because it wasn't showing up for me, but I'm sure I had cleaned up the ones that weren't working for me. The edits didn't take, and were gone as if I had cleaned them up last night when I edited the post originally. They weren't visible on my end until I came back and edited again today.

This whole site is buggy for me fairly frequently, particularly the post/reply box. The cursor will jump to the top of a message at random, trying to highlight text using shift and the arrow keys doesn't work properly and unlights part of the rear segment of text if I try to highlight more than about half a line when editing a reply, edits don't take even though they appear to on my end even after the page is reloaded [rarely], and sometimes my backspace key just stops working. It's not a problem on my end, because this is the only place on the internet it happens.

It's a minor annoyance and doesn't break the site or anything, but it's been an issue for most of this year for me for some reason.

I haven't thought about it much, but other images do this to me sometimes as well. I'll go into an image thread and there will be what appears to be a blank post on occasion. The only way I can look at the images in a post like that is to quote/reply and take the image link off the quote. Sometimes a reply further down the thread that reposts the image that way will even display the same image using the exact same link. No idea why this is.

It's not frequent, and doesn't seem to be caused by image links from any particular site. In fact, images from the exact same image hosting sites will work perfectly fine while one or two just won't display. Again, all of this only happens to me here, and nowhere else online.

About damn time! And given the release delay for the English version of 3.33, we'll probably get 4.44 in about... oh, a decade. :(

Okay, I'll bite. What is this? The picture has characters from the main series, the movies and that weird Sengoku(?) era manga.
According to what I've read, it's a direct continuation of season 2. No reboot, AU, or anything like that, it's supposedly a legit sequel that picks up where the story left off after the events of R2.

So, we're gonna see some more supernatural stuff then? Because Geass can't be the only thing the world has to offer.

I'd assume so, because they're resurrecting Lelouch for it.
Either that, or we're in for some sort of Xanatos Gambit shenanigans from Lelouch to explain it. That actually kind of fits the series more to be honest, and is what I'm expecting to be the case.

Though, it wouldn't surprise me if he was resurrected by other means. Might even be a fake Lelouch at first, but I fully expect the real one to return at some point even if that is the case.

We'll see when it airs I guess.

Faking his death like that isn't really Lelouch's thing; it conflicts with his values and frankly speaking it cheapens the impact of R2's ending.

And if they go with that "He was the cart driver all along!" theory I'm going to fucking scream.

True, but he has to not be dead for some reason. I suppose one of those loyal to him might find a way to bring him back given sufficient opportunity and motivation.

Or maybe the blow wasn't as fatal as it seemed, and the strike missed anything vital, but was still enough to make him seem dead? He ends up in a coma or something along those lines rather than outright dead.

I just hope they don't give him amnesia.

Double post.

The servers for these forums suck, and have a bad habit of going down and hanging while I'm replying or posting and are generally unstable. Sometimes it causes double posting. It's frequent enough that I've gotten in the habit of copying anything I've typed out that's more than a couple of sentences to my clipboard before I hit the save or post buttons.

Usually doesn't last long though, a couple of minutes at most normally. On rare occasions it'll go down for a half hour to an hour.

I've had issues with these forums for a while now, but it's always minor annoyances rather than huge problems. It's also only here, and not a general problem with my browser or other sites.

Regarding the Code Geass poster, AFAIK, it's a poster for the 10th anniversary of the series, not a poster for R3.
