Do you like this? I've been eyeing it for a bit now & I can't decide if I should watch it next or keep pushing it back...
I do like it, but I don't love it—not yet at least. Some of the characters are quite interesting so far, and development is at a good pace, but there's something about the dialogue that irks me a little bit at times. I can't really say what or it'll spoil the story for you.
I don't know if there are any genres you're not a fan of, but have you watched DEVILMAN Crybaby or Megalo Box yet? If not, I would go for one of those first.
All of my friends are huge fans of zombieland saga right now and say everyone who's a fan of anime should watch it even if it's a seasonal anime! I'm probably gonna check it out soon.
I still haven't gotten to it, my current watching list is overlord, hunter x hunter, gintama, and my hero academia (a lot of shounen, I know lolol). I'd say my fav of all times are probably code Geass, chihayafuru, tengen toppa gurrenn lagann, and gintama, not sure what others I'd grade as incredibly good tbh!

I've actually been going through a drought starting around February or so I believe? College got in the way. But even once classes were over, I still didn't watch any anime. However, I finally managed to start and finish Cells at Work! And, wow, I loved it!
It's weird since Steins Gate is my favorite anime of all time but as excited as I was for Steins Gate 0, I didn't even end up watching it. Attack on Titan Season 3 failed to get me watching again as well. Cells at Work tho, what a fun ride that was. I guess what I really needed was a lighthearted, wholesome series. The two I mentioned above are pretty dark and heavy. I'll get to them soon, but it's feels great to get back into anime.
Also Ace Attorney Season 3 Trials and Tribulations let's goooo!

I watched the most recent episode of Black Clover. Still on a break from anime before watching HunterxHunter.
Black Clover episode 54:
Also, RWBY volume six is coming out October 27th I believe, and there’s already a trailer for it, so I’m looking forward to keeping up with that as well.
Black Clover episode 54:
So it was revealed that Asta’s arms are broken and cursed from the fight with Vetto, so everyone is going around trying to find a cure for him. A new character was introduced at the end, Fanzell, so I’m looking forward to seeing why Noelle and Finral are visiting him. Also, the opening changed a little bit animation-wise, and at one part Asta’s arms are covered in black, so I’m wondering if that and another moment during the episode are foreshadowing that the same force that gave him his weapon is going to fix his arms. That’s just a guess though. Looking forward to the next episodes.

Oof, well it's been awhile. I've been busy with school and I've been busy with a lot of personal stuff as well. Within that time, I did finish up My Hero Academia Season 3, went to see My Hero Academia: Two Heroes at the local theater, I watched Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe (an OVA for JoJo Part 4), watched Panty & Stocking With Garterbelt (which I definitely wanna talk about), started on JoJo Part 5: Golden Wind, and started watching Goblin Slayer over the weekend. I haven't finished Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood yet (I'm at Episode 37), but I'm working on that. Anyway, I'm about to talk about all of these, so there will be spoilers in the...spoiler tags.
And then I'll talk about FMA:B at a later time because it's almost 3:30 AM as of me posting this and I'm tired af.
The season finale was pretty great. I loved the fight between Class 1-A and Mirio. Mirio in general seems like such a cool and interesting character. He has a cool quirk, he's quirky himself, he has a neat design and stands out greatly among the crowd...AND HE LOOKS LIKE LUCAS FROM MOTHER 3. Yes, I love this character. And I'm really looking forward to seeing him more. Pretty happy overall and I'm looking forward to Season 4.
Pretty great movie too. It's not for everyone, obviously, but I absolutely recommend watching it if you're a My Hero Academia fan, especially since it's canon iirc. To be honest, there's not a whole lot I can say here. It was just fun to see All Might's past expanded upon and to see a part of the lore that was teased in the anime. It was especially fun since I got to go to the movie with other anime fans, and every time there was some hype moment on the screen, everyone just cheered. And then when the credits rolled in, everyone clapped and was cheering. In just about any other scenario, I would feel it's kinda annoying for all that cheering, but these were genuine anime fans and it felt special, especially since this was my first time going to the theaters to watch an anime movie. I'll admit I joined in on the cheering and clapping too. Admittedly, the experience at home may not be as fun, but the movie's still great regardless.
Not much here to say either. It's just side stories revolving around Rohan Kishibe, Araki's favorite character apparently. The side stories are cool, though. Although I don't really like how all the characters are drawn, it's honestly weird. I know that's how they make it look unique, but here's a comparison. Top is Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe, bottom is from Diamond Is Unbreakable.
Yeah...let's move on.
Yeah...let's move on.
Dude, I think I'm in love. It's easily the funniest anime I've ever watched. I love it's art style too, it's extremely Powerpuff Girls-ish. Just a warning, though. The humor is very much edgy, and imo it's even more edgy than South Park at times. So there's your warning if you decide to watch it. It's not for the easily offended/shocked. That being said, if you can get past that, there's a whole lot of wonderful humor here. The jokes are top notch and everything just comes together to create this really great package. The only thing that disappoints me is the ending. It's a pretty big cliffhanger, and I'm sad that we probably won't get a Season 2, at least not for a long while. Because Gainax is well...yeah, it's seen better days. Oh, and one more thing, the dub is amazing. When someone says "there are no good dubs", my answer from now on will be Panty & Stocking. No one can tell me this dub isn't top tier.
Oh my dudes and dudettes, it's time...I absolutely love JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. If you know me well, you know this. This has easily been my most anticipated anime for a long time. And it's finally here. And so far, I absolutely can't be happier with how it's turned out. I read a few chapters of the manga beforehand, but it's so great to be finally seeing this in motion. Fighting Gold is an absolute banger of an OP. And as for the ED...I can't believe they used Freek'n You, but dammit, I love this song now. It's like unironically a great song. As for the anime itself, I'm not sure how I feel about Giorno as a protagonist so far. He's not a heroic and great guy like Jonathan, he's not a goofball like Joseph, he's not a badass like Jotaro, and he's not a dumb kid like Josuke...he's just this guy that wants to be a gangster and also Dio's son, I guess. Although he's definitely more likable than he was in the manga, imo. Probably because it's better to see him in motion. I like Bruno for real, though. He seems like a character I'll love. The fight between Giorno and Bruno was great. And I can't wait to see the upcoming fight.
Feel like I should say this now. I said that Panty & Stocking is not for the easily offended/shocked, and this is another one of those cases for different reasons. Whereas with Panty & Stocking it's edgy and offensive humor, with Goblin Slayer it's very violent and there's of course the ever so controversial rape scenes. In my opinion, the hate for this series is super overblown. If you can get past that, it's looking like it'll be a great series and I'm excited to see where it goes next. It's far less graphic that Berserk, which everyone seems to give a pass for some reason, but I digress.
And then I'll talk about FMA:B at a later time because it's almost 3:30 AM as of me posting this and I'm tired af.

I watch what comes on adult swim. I like Black Clover, I've always liked magical stuff. I also watch JJBA & Dragon Ball. Since HunterXHunter was moved to a later time I don't watch it anymore. I only watch Attack on Titan cause its on before Black Clover.

Thinking of starting Dragon Ball Z Kai soon since I finished a lot of the stuff I was watching recently. I watched some episodes of Kai on TV in the past but I really want to start from beginning to end this time. On a side note, anyone getting the My Hero's One Justice game coming out in 2 days? Super excited for it myself.
Does anyone know if they?ll be releasing the My Hero Academia: Two Heroes movie on Crunchyroll as well? I do want to watch it one of these days when I have more spare time and don?t know where I could find it. I also plan on watching Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos as well since it?s related to FMA:B.

I'm pretty sure some of the 4kids voice actors had some roles that are very much not for kids, and I find that very funny.
Watched the most recent episodes of Black Clover and RWBY.
Black Clover episode 55:
RWBY volume 6 chapter one:
Black Clover episode 55:
So Fanzell was introduced and his backstory is interesting. He’s from the Diamond Kingdom, but didn’t like the way they were being cruel, so he fled and Asta found him in the woods in a flashback before going to take the Magic Knights Entrance Exam. Fanzell taught Asta how to use his anti-magic sword, and in turn Asta told Fanzell to keep living and helped him fight off the incoming assassins and spies. Next up is the continuation of this back in the present. Looking forward to the coming episodes.
RWBY volume 6 chapter one:
So RWBY, Qrow, Oscar/Ozpin, and JNR boarded the train Argus and had to stop incoming chimera Grimm from attacking the passengers in the train. They ended up undoing the chain and separating the front and back half of the train, but RWBY, Oscar/Ozpin, and Qrow’s back train came off the tracks. Now they will have to walk in the snow to Atlas, and there’s an old lady that appeared with goggles, which makes me wonder how she’ll impact the story in the coming episodes. Sun and Ilia also departed from Blake to go on their own missions. The music so far has been excellent. Looking forward to the coming episodes.

Still watching Legend of Galactic Heroes (original one). I'm 84 episodes in now and this show is still fantastic. If anyone here has a HiDive membership, you should check it out.
I also watched the entirety of Flip Flappers recently. It's a cute show. The plot is a bit weak though, since it's more on the artsy side.

Finally finished Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Thoughts?
I think I'll finally watch Hunter x Hunter 2011 next.
This anime is absolutely worthy of being considered the #1 by many people. It's constantly engaging from start to finish, it's got amazing and well written characters, great fight scenes, the world's lore is so interesting to learn about, it's very mature and serious while also having your occasional funny line or joke every now and then...now, let's talk about the stuff I liked. First off, the Elric Brothers and Roy Mustang are easily some of the best characters in all of anime imo. In fact, there's a lot of cool and interesting characters that this anime has. Riza Hawkeye, Winry Rockbell, Olivier Armstrong, Alex Louis Armstrong, Scar, Greed/Ling Yao, Barry the Chopper, May Chang, Izumi Curtis, and more I'm probably missing. Greed and Ling Yao's dynamic in particular was interesting to me. I feel like on his own, Ling Yao isn't a super interesting character, but since he ends up sharing a body with Greed, he becomes a much more interesting character as a result. Some of the most memorable scenes from the show for me including the episode where Shou Tucker turns his daughter into a Chimera and Scar later ends up killing her and Shou Tucker, when King Bradley was revealed to be a Homunculus (which caught me off guard personally), the episode where Scar's backstory is explained and the twist that he killed Winry's parents, the episode where Hohenheim's backstory was explained and how he was actually a slave in Xerxes and ended up being used by Homunculus in order to drain the souls of everyone in Xerxes leading to Homunculus becoming "Father" and Hohenheim also becoming immortal, and finally the whole arc where everyone ends up in the capital and Roy's troops and the Fort Briggs troops end up fighting against Central's troops, Edward and co. end up revisiting the laboratory that had been broken into at the beginning of the series and all that jazz. The ending was also really satisfying to see, getting to finally see the Elric Brothers live a normal life with each other again and seeing them eventually traveling the world and all that, Roy getting back his eyesight after losing it in the final battle, Scar redeeming himself going from being a seemingly ruthless killer to being a hero, among other things. I may go back and watch the original series eventually, even if I know Brotherhood is better, but I figured I'd watch Brotherhood first because it's faithful to the manga.
I think I'll finally watch Hunter x Hunter 2011 next.

I’m still waiting for an answer to this, and I have another question as well: if I watch shows from both Rooster Teeth and Crunchyroll, should I just cancel my subscriptions to both of them and subscribe to VRV? VRV has both of those plus more, and I heard Crunchyroll has gone downhill in the past couple years.
So I watched chapters 2 and 3 of volume six of RWBY and episodes 56 and 57 of Black Clover as well.
Black Clover episodes 56 and 57:
So Mariella actually helped Fanzell reunite with his wife, and the three of them plus Asta, Noelle, and Finral went to the Witches Forest to go and save Vanessa, who came back hoping the Witch Queen would heal Asta’s arms. Now the Witch Queen won’t let her leave, but The Eye of The Midnight Sun is about to attack as well, which complicates things. I’m looking forward to the three-way conflict in the coming episodes.
RWBY volume 6, chapters two and three:
So surprise, surprise! Cinder is not dead. She escaped from the bottom of the pit near where the relic of Haven was resting and stole a villager’s clothes. She now is trying to make a deal with a black market thug and her pawns to find out information on where team RWBY and the rest of the gang went off to. Episode three is AMAZING though, answering a lot of questions about Ozpin and Salem’s backstory, how the relics came about, and more. Probably one of the best episodes in the entire series. I’m really looking forward to how Ozpin/Oscar will explain all of what team RWBY and the others saw from Jinn, who revealed Ozpin’s secrets through the Relic of Knowledge. Looking forward to the coming episodes.
