The Anime Thread

Oh... I just realized that there was an Anime Thread. Where have I been? :T

I have too many favorites when it comes to Anime, so I'll refrain to list them all and the reasons behind them for now.

I've recently finished My Hero Academia Season 03. Pretty excited to watch Season 4 of the Anime. Though... I'm not sure how long I would have to wait for the dubbed version since I've watched the dubbed version of My Hero Academia instead of the subbed version.

At the moment... I'm going to start watching the dubbed version of Princess Principal and the dubbed version of Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-. But... I think Re:ZERO doesn't have all the episodes yet for the dubbed version, so I'll have to place it on hold once I finish all the episodes that I can watch. I guess I can watch RWBY after Re:ZERO I suppose.
 
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.
Answer to your first question: Idk if it'll be out on Crunchyroll, tbh. I haven't heard any news on it. I don't believe it's on Funimation's website either. Sorry mate, your best bet might be to buy the Blu-Ray edition when it comes out or pirate. As for the second question, yeah, go for it. VRV has much more than Crunchyroll and only for a few bucks more a month, so it's definitely worth the price.

Also, I went against what I said completely and watched Attack on Titan next instead. Finished Season 3 Part 1 a couple days ago, I'll post my thoughts here later.

Gundam is always good!! the older ones are a little slow for my tastes though
i also recommend Mazinger Z,Neon Genesis Evangelion, Lupin the Third, & Serial Experiments Lain.

i havent watched Lain but its my significant other's favorite

Oh I don't mind mecha at all. My first one (don't judge me lol) was full metal panic. I still love that show to this day

Yeah, I’ll probably just find it somewhere later. And yeah, I’ll be switching to VRV since it makes more sense for me to do so. Still on an anime break right now, but when I return from it I’ll be watching HunterxHunter 2011.
 
I haven't posted on this thread in a while. I finished the main series of Legend of the Galactic Heroes. It really is amazing. It's now in my top 5 of anime EVER. And I've seen a ton of anime, so that's saying something.

I also watched the first season of Is The Order a Rabbit. I'm kinda feeling over "cute girls doing cute things" shows, but it was still fun.

Since I've been in a huge Pokemon mood lately, I started watching the Pokemon Sun and Moon season. I'm already enjoying it more than I did the XYZ season (last I watched). It has a lot to do with the fact that I like the side characters more.

Team Rocket and the Bewear thing is weird though.
 
So I watched the most recent episodes of Black Clover and RWBY.

Black Clover episode 58:

So I was wrong about it being a three-way conflict. The Diamond Kingdom AND The Eye of The Midnight Sun are both attacking the Witches Forest, and the Witch Queen healed Asta’s arms from the curse put on them by Vetto so he can help defend the Witches Forest. Asta and the gang split up to take on the approaching enemies. Looking forward to the coming episodes.

RWBY volume 6, chapter four:

So team RWBY and Qrow all got mad at Ozpin for not telling them all of his secrets sooner, of how Salem cannot be defeated and everything. He said he doesn’t have a plan and Qrow punched him because he has started to question him finally. Meanwhile, Mercury, Emerald, and Hazel returned to Salem’s palace where she asked how they failed the mission so spectacularly. Hazel tried to take full responsibility, but was tortured and it was then explained by Emerald that Cinder was responsible, who has now been kicked out of the villains’ group. Tyrian and Dr. Watts were there too, and once the name Ozpin was mentioned Salem got angry, everyone left, and she screamed, breaking the windows. RWBY, Qrow, Ozpin, and Maria (the old lady) have arrived at what appears to be an abandoned farming town/house on the way to Atlas. Looking forward to the coming episodes.

I've recently binge-watched Aggretsuko (hence the avatar) -- it's really funny and adorable. I like that it's about an adult character dealing with realistic problems instead of typical high school girl drama.

I'm also trying to finish The Devil Is a Part-Timer, but it gets a little repetitive with the plot points at times. Overall I think it's really funny. A lot of the jokes are the kind I don't really see in anime too often. I'm not sure if it's the Netflix translation or if the original jokes are just as good (I don't speak Japanese so I can't say for sure).
 
Watched the most recent episodes of Black Clover and RWBY.

Black Clover episode 59:

So Asta and Noelle took on Fana the Hateful and her dragon. Noelle used her sea dragon spell to dent it, but then Asta had Vanessa and Finral help him with their thread and spatial magic, respectively, to use a new move, Bull Thrust, with his anti-magic sword in order to defeat the dragon that Fana was on. Asta is doing more than just fighting the enemies though. He’s trying to figure out why The Third Eye’s members hate the people of the Clover Kingdom and humans. Looking forward to the coming episodes and Fanzell’s fight with the Diamond Kingdom’s generals.

RWBY volume six, chapter five:

So surprise surprise! Neo is back and ends up fighting Cinder. Neo is mad at Cinder over what happened to Roman Torchwick back in volume three. She puts this aside, however, and the two come to an agreement though that they really just want to kill Ruby and stop fighting. Meanwhile, team RWBY, Qrow, and Oscar/Ozpin go inside the houses of the abandoned farm town and find dead bodies of humans everywhere in their beds. There was also something that poked the cellar door open of a supply house that Ruby and Weiss left, so I’m thinking it’s some new type of Grimm that we haven’t seen yet that they’re going to have to face. I’m glad that this volume is answering so many unanswered questions in the show from the past. Hopefully soon we will get an explanation for RWBY’s silver eyes and the background behind it as well. Looking forward to the next episodes.

I didn't click the spoiler because I haven't caught up with Black Clover! :eek: but I should!
 
I bought Kiddy Grade years ago, must have dozed off watching it. Might give that another shot. Also Wantaba Style. I also don't want to sound like a hipster, but I do like picking up lesser known titles.
 
So, Netflix is re-dubbing Evangelion. I've watched it subbed myself so I don't care personally, but are there any thoughts on this who have seen it?

You definitely should! Black Clover is a fun show to watch. It’s not as good as other anime shows that are out there, but I watched a video not too long ago from a guy who said it redeems itself by taking all of the anime and shounen cliches thus far and owning them as if it doesn’t care, which I agree with. The pacing for the first six episodes is really slow, but after that it picks up. Would definitely recommend trying it if there’s no other anime out right now that you want to watch.

So I watched the most recent episodes of Black Clover and RWBY.

Black Clover episode 60:

So we transitioned from Asta’s fight with Fana the Hateful to Fanzell taking care of the Diamond Kingdom eight shining generals. Fanzell used his wind magic and dove into the Diamond Kingdom army to take care of their mages, conveniently staying where Mars and Ladros wouldn’t attack their own troops. After that, Fanzell tried taking on Ladros, but Ladros proved too strong and was about to kill Fanzell’s wife before Mars stopped him. Mars essentially defected, which was a nice twist I wasn’t really expecting. I’m still wondering if Mars really defected though and what his true motives are. I’m looking forward to the coming episodes.

RWBY volume six, chapter six:

So Weiss, Blake, and Yang were really tired from everything that’s been happening to the gang lately and due to the powers of the Apathy Grimm, tried to get Ruby to throw the Relic of Knowledge down the well. She accidentally lost it down there, and that’s when they went down through the well to try and go get it. They encountered the Apathy Grimm who make their opponents lose the will to fight and then kill them, but Maria, the old lady, saved the day by getting Ruby to use her silver eyes several times, taking care of the Grimm before Blake or any of her other teammates could die. Then they set the house on fire, ran away as the Apathy Grimm were chasing them, Yang got onto her bike, and Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Qrow, Oscar/Ozpin, and Maria got onto the trailer being pulled by the bike, and they got away, still on their way to Atlas. At the end of the episode Maria revealed she had silver eyes once too, which is how she was able to get Ruby to use hers. That’s something that the fandom predicted not too long ago. Looking forward to the coming episodes.
 
So, Netflix is re-dubbing Evangelion. I've watched it subbed myself so I don't care personally, but are there any thoughts on this who have seen it?

There is mention of them changing the script. I'd like this confirmed or denied. I'm having 4kids flashbacks.

I could be on board with that. I hated the original dub and would love to see better voice acting

That seems kinda unnecessary, I'd hope that's not the case unless the original script was localized.

Bcat
I've heard bits of Shinji's voice, it could be... a bit different.
 
BUMP.

Watched the most recent episodes of Black Clover and RWBY.

Black Clover episode 61:

So Mars and Fanzell went to where Noelle, Vanessa, and Finral were, who were dealing with Fana the Hateful and her salamander spirit magic. She launched another giant fireball at Asta and the group, but Fanzell had Asta redirect it at Ladros, who couldn’t absorb all of it to redirect as laser beam magic and ended up getting badly burnt and sent out of commission. Then Mars and Asta worked together after Mars had defected from the Diamond Kingdom, and ended up being able to rescue Fana the Hateful from The Third Eye’s control by Mars reminding her of their memories together when they were just children. Everyone thought Fana had died, but she is alive and was under the control of The Third Eye and The Eye of the Midnight Sun terrorist group. Now that she’s broken free from it, both the Diamond Kingdom and The Eye of the Midnight Sun are greatly reduced in numbers and overall magic power. Looking forward to seeing the upcoming episodes.

RWBY volume six, chapter seven:

So we got some backstory for Maria, the old lady, finding out more about her past and how her silver eyes stopped working. She was known as the Grimm Reaper because she would hunt and take out Grimm. A band of thugs hired to take out her silver eyes had a Faunus who slashed them, however. But just as Maria in the flashback was about to die, she ended up taking out the Faunus. Back in the present, team RWBY, Qrow, Oscar/Ozpin, and Maria arrived at Argus, on the northern border of the continent, and they all reunited with Jaune, Nora, and Ren. Then they got to meet Jaune’s sister and her wife and kid, and at the end of the episode found out that they cannot sail to Atlas just yet because the military district in Argus is closed off to civilians. Looking forward to watching the upcoming episodes.
