The Anime Thread

[-Blue-]

I got a few movies for Xmas. Mostly Batman and DC films. Animated DC films are really great and they steal the animation industry while Marvel dominates the live action for the comic superheroes.

Just watched Gotham by Gaslight. It's set in the 19th century and focuses on Batman's quest to hunt down and stop Jack the Ripper.

Spoiler

Who ends up being someone you'd least expect, James Gordon, the police commissioner.

I thought it was a pretty good adaption of what Batman and his gadgets would be like.

I finished Netflix Aggretsuko S4. It seemed really short which is always a bit sad. Been waiting for the rest of the newest season of Pokemon to get posted to Netflix too, so in the meanwhile I've been watching Uchouten Kazoku. I was tempted to start after seeing the frog in the well.

It's been pretty good so far. I think the premise is interesting and the pacing is nice. I love the OP and ED themes too! I could listen to fhana songs all day to be honest.

AMC just bought Sentai Filmworks. At least it isn't Sony.

I'm about to tackle One Piece from the beginning... let's see how long it takes me.

 

[LadyDestani]

I finished watching season 1 of the Faraway Paladin today. At times, I really enjoyed the series and at times, I found it a bit lacking. I was expecting more depth and I do get the sense that it's there, but I suspect there's so much more to the light novel or manga, which I haven't read. Overall, it wasn't a bad anime and I'll probably continue to watch it when season 2 airs, but season 1 didn't quite meet my high expectations.

@amemome
I loved both seasons of Uchouten Kazoku. ♥ Everything about it, the story, art style, animation, the writing, the (Japanese) voice acting, the characters, it all totally captivated me. It's quite unlike any anime series I've watched before and I will always remember what a good time I had with it. Enjoy the ride!

@Soigne
One Piece is pretty amazing and you're pretty amazing to be starting from the beginning. I've been reading and watching it for the past 15 or 18 years or so. (Can't remember exactly. My kid was a kid when I started and he's now a 28-year-old man. ) I still look forward to every episode and hope I live long enough to see the end of the story. Have fun with it!

Gonna hop on here and recommend some favorites: A Lull in the Sea and Land of the Lustrous. Ooooh also Blue Submarine no. 6

 

[VioletUV]

I just finished Komi Can't Communicate and Blue Period. I love both so much and I got a bit upset that the current season is already over lol
Still gotta watch the movie and latest season of Demon Slayer

Blue Submarine no. 6 is a short oldie. Pretty sure that was on either Toonami or Adult Swim. I did just see Black Lagoon over at a rather fragrant Walmart for around $20. That was on one of those programming blocks as well. I didn't give it much of a chance back then. If anyone from twitter saw it these days, they probably wouldn't know what to be pissed about first. Frequent violence and swearing, they even make up some new slurs.

I'm not recommending it, but I'm not saying it's bad either, just that it exists. Plus it's owned by Funimation, and they had to make a statement about another show they were dubbing being outside their standards.

Get ready to slay some demons! Demon Slayer season two episode thirteen is here!

Spoiler: for Demon Slayer season two episode thirteen

Tanjiro continues to use his Sun Breathing techniques to fight against the demon Daki. As he’s about to win against her, he has to stop and coughs continuously, trying to catch his breath. This is the drawback to using such a powerful technique. As Daki is about to finish him off, Nezuko jumps at her and kicks off part of her head. Daki then slams Nezuko down to the ground with her bands. Nezuko easily regenerates, however, much to Daki’s surprise. Will Nezuko and Tanjiro be able to hold off Daki until the others arrive?

Next time on Demon Slayer season two, episode fourteen. “Transformation”. You won’t want to miss it!

 

[Bosmer]

It's been a while since I've watched the first season of my hero academia and haven't progressed further since, so I've got a lot to catch up with. I'll also start demon slayer at some point, been meaning to watch it.

 

[LadyDestani]

I watched the newest episode of Attack on Titan today! I'm both excited and a bit sad to see how this series concludes.

I'm also almost done with Aggretsuko. I have one more episode to go. Hopefully I can finish it tomorrow.

 

[LadyDestani]

I finished up Aggretsuko season 4 today, as I had planned. It wasn't my favorite season. That was season 1 because that was when I really empathized with Retsuko the most, but it wasn't my least favorite either, which was season 3. Since the focus was back in the office again, I felt more connected to the characters again.

Spoiler: Season 4 spoilers

I've witnessed multiple layoffs before so I really felt terrible for Kabae when she was being forced out. I've heard leadership use some of those same lines about children to make parents feel guilty for not being as productive or using their time off that they are entitled to and have earned through years of loyalty to the company.

Almost finished with season five of Naruto Shippuden. This Crystal Style stuff is interesting… looking forward to seeing how the season concludes.

Yeah, that’s about the part where I’m at. I think all of it ties together.

Finally caught up to the latest episode of Demon Slayer S2 !! Now very excited for the next episodes lol

Anyone got any good slice of life anime recommendations that are on netflix? gonna watch that while i wait for episodes to come out lol

 

[p e p p e r]

Demon Slayer Entertainment District Arc has been so can't wait for the next episode!!

 

[Reginald Fairfield]

I have nothing against Demon Slayer. I'm sure I will like it when I get a working blu-ray player. I almost didn't buy it right away because it's only on blu-ray and a bit pricey. Plus I expect shenanigans with the disc collections later.

What other current shows is this eclipsing? Did Dr. Stone conclude?
