The Anime Thread

[Reginald Fairfield]

I haven’t watched an anime since Erased, which was great.
Does anyone have any good psychological/ thriller anime suggestions that came out in the past few years?

Not sure how recent, but there was a Danganronpa anime, it might still be on youtube.

If it is the silent clip I had to look it up…it is from the unfinished and not dubbed pilot film for Lupin the VIII…I’ve seen some clips of that in Jigen clip vids…

The First was great in my opinion…Blood Seal was ok…Love the art style but still weird.

Some thirsty people on youtube seem to be judging the quality of a Lupin show by the length of their favorite character's screentime. What are you going by?

I'm not in a hurry to see the serious, gory ones. I like the vibe of red jacket/part 2.

I’m not really going by anything. I binged watched all the movies and specials a few months ago…and then watched the series in order. I just enjoy them as they are. Sure some are better than others but they are all different so I can’t really judge Lupin at all…except the very trippy art style of Part 3.

LOL.

But if I was going to judge…I am a Jigen Fangirl so anything focused on him has my vote…now that I look at that…the episodes and movies I enjoyed the most are actually Jigen centered…totally not on purpose.

That looks way too weird for me.

Fair enough. I was definitely like ??? going into it but it turned out better than I expected.

I haven't seen psych genre stuff outside of zankyou no terror/ paranoia agent/ parasyte so unfortunately I don't have any recent recs, sorry!

Just found out that the Jujutsu Kaisen movie will start screening in my country on March 10! YAAAY!!!

Did you like Napoleon's Dictionary, The Hemingway Papers, or From Siberia with Love? I might pick up one of those next if I preorder a manga.

I watched them but I really don’t remember them all that much so I must have not liked them sadly. Might rewatch some of the movies at some point it has been a while.

Currently watching FMA Brotherhood and it's been tearing me emotionally lol. I'm only 10 eps in but it's wonderfully done. The dub is amazing too.

I do not watch a lot of anime shows, but one anime show I have always loved is Sonic X. ^_^

 

[Croconaw]

So, that hockey anime (Pride of Orange) was kind of terrible? Idk, it seemed extremely inaccurate. I know Japan isn’t big on hockey, but still, lol… the inaccuracies.

Anyway, I went into a clicking spree on YouTube and found a few MHA videos. It seemed interesting, so I started watching it. I’m not that far into it, but far enough into it to say that I don’t think I’ve ever tested up emotionally watching a show. I knew it was a popular anime, so nice to see what I was missing.

I finished season seven of Naruto Shippuden! Onto season eight and the Pain arc.

Spoiler: big Naruto Shippuden spoilers

I can't believe Naruto and company went through all of that just for the Six Tails to be stolen and Sir Utakata to die. Then when Naruto heard the news about Jiraiya's death, everyone's reactions got to me. By the time Naruto was sitting down on the bench crying, I was crying too, because it made me think about my mom. Iruka sensei was there to comfort Naruto though. And then soon after Shikamaru boosted Naruto's spirits, as a friend. Definitely one of my favorite moments in the show. Now they have to work together to decode the message from Jiraiya.

So yeah, can't believe this dumb show made me cry, but it did. Lol

I'm pretty sure that arc was a filler. You're talking about the guy that blew bubbles or something right? My memory of it is a bit fuzzy since it's been so many years since I watched it. I think in the comic they gave him only one panel (not even a page) of being killed by the akatsuki. (I had to Google their name lol)

I remember not really caring for that filler. It felt like they repeated the whole 'everyone hates me because of the demon in me' backstory that they had done like 2 or 3 times before that with characters Naruto sort of related to. I do remember the arc following Jiraiya's death and when it happened. They tied in references from the origianl show nicely with the Iruka filling in the spot of Jiraiya.

Oh yeah, I know it was filler and I didn't care for it at all. I'm just saying that the episodes that came after it in season eight (the first couple, anyway) had some really good scenes.

But yeah, the filler arc was garbage. I'm much more looking forward to this next arc with Pain.

I just started watching the anime Blue Period, it's about a high schooler who starts getting into art after being inspired by a painting, it's available on Netflix. It's kind of inspiring me to get back into art, I haven't drawn much the past several years. I was in advanced placement art in high school and took a drawing class in college but since then I lost motivation and haven't done any art.

I vaguely remember someone mentioning it becoming the Sasuke show at one point. I'd like to know when that is. You are past the point where I left off.

It pretty much becomes the Sasuke show when Sasuke goes crazy and wants to

Spoiler

destroy the Hidden Leaf Village.

And also because Naruto has kept failing up until this point against him.

They should have just called it Sasuke Shippuden.

Started watching The Case Study of Vanitas.

Look it up you will not be disappointe.

finished kageki shoujo recently and loved it! im gonna go back and read the manga next since a second season doesn't seem to be too likely right now

Through some digging into lolita-related stuff I found the short OVA Le Portrait de Petit Cossette. Very stylized and gives the feeling of the time it was made. Story was a little disjointed though I enjoyed it. I purchased the manga that was written after the anime's production (two volumes) and am looking forward to reading them.

I love Le Portrait de Petit Cossette but I haven't found too many others who have seen it. I agree that the story is a bit disjointed and I think it's done purposefully to create a sense of apprehension in the viewer, but it probably could have been handled better. I love the visuals and some of the writing was quite poetic. I'm glad you found it and enjoyed it.
