The Anime Thread

[NovariusHaze]

Haven’t watched anime in years but temped to watch Bunny Girl Senpai because a friend recommended it, tho it appears to have some serious tones to it and I’m afraid it will spark my depression.

Dororo is my all time fave anime, up there with Neon Genesis Evangelion.

As far as new anime goes, I quite liked Mars Red. I'm currently embarking on the second season of Demon Slayer.

OMG. A Japanese fan drew the cast of Kimetsu no Yaiba as Animal Crossing characters!

Here's the artist's tweet if you want to see! Super cute!

Looking for something goofier then?

I’m barging back in here to say that I’m actually enjoying MHA a lot. I’m already on season 3 but that will likely change on my next day off from work. I actually like all of the characters, as well.

I heard a rumor that Spice & Wolf is getting a new anime adaptation and if it's true I'm gonna be so stoked!!! I've been waiting years for some kind of closure on the series (no, I had no interest in the light novel) and now that it's celebrating its 15 years anniversary it may be happening!!!! Can't wait to see what new adventures Holo and Lawrence will embark on!

I feel obligated to bring up 4kids again. While they made some baffling changes, see below, I'm still baffled they removed cleavage and suggestive scenes while adding innuendo and flirting to other scenes. Also they seem to be making a comeback under a different name. Cinedigm. I'm seeing that name on more dvds. I've been hoping to see an uncencored Yu-gi-Oh! at some point without being a pirate, and they still cling tenaciously to that IP.

Been going through the Pain arc of Naruto Shippuden and watching Naruto fight Pain. Finally, some interesting action scenes in this show, lol...

I just watched Flavors of Youth on Netflix, it's an anime movie, it was really sweet, I enjoyed it

Get ready to transform! Attack on Titan the final season part two episode eight is here.

Spoiler: for Attack on Titan episode 83

Conny reaches the village where his mom is, and tries to feed Falco to her. Armin and Gabi catch up, however. As Armin jumps into Conny's mother's mouth in order to try and turn her into a human (since Armin possesses the Colossal Titan), Conny tackles him and saves him. They then go and find Annie, Reiner, and the other Inherited Titans, all in order to stop Eren.

Next time on Attack on Titan the final season, episode 84. "Night of the End." You won't want to miss it!

Late to the Little Witch Academia train but I'm on and riding.

Spoiler: thoughts including very minor spoilers

I'm around 20-ish episodes in right now. As an anime series, it's not as good as I remember the original OVA (whatever the Youtube releases are considered...) being. I don't remember the characters being this one-dimensional... I feel this strongly about the main character's two best friends. They seemed more intersting in the OVAs.

Then again, I watched the original OVA maybe 5+ years ago now so they might have always been like this.

I appreciate that the art overall is really nice and I feel like the action scenes are fun to watch. As a "workout companion" (as most anime are for me right now...) it does a good job of keeping me distracted from my exhaustion on the treadmill.

Been a while since I posted in here oops.

I'm still watching Hunter x Hunter. I'm basically near the end of the chimera ant arc and boy this anime really took a nosedive. Don't get me wrong I still like the show but it showed amazing potential in the first few arcs only to fall flat in this arc. I still have a handful more episodes to go so maybe it will get better but I'm doubting it.

I also watched Princess Mononoke for the first time. Yes call it a crime that I hadn't seen it before, but better late than never right? Really enjoyed it by the way. Hard to go wrong with Ghibli.

We have details about the results of the Crunchyroll Funimation merger.

 

[LadyDestani]

When I was on Crunchyroll earlier today, I noticed they had added a bunch of shows from the Funimation merger. I'm so glad that I now have access to them. There have been a few shows I wanted to watch but they were locked away in Funimation's library.

 

[BakaRina]

Because I haven't been much trading lately, I decided to use the time to catch up on the Detective Conan/Case Closed anime that I started a long time ago. So far, I'm up to episode 28 right now and counting. I plan to watch the movies later on in the week once I've watched more episodes. I think once I've done all of that is when I might focus on the manga, but we'll see about that.

I’d love a recommendation for a comedic anime (as it’s probably the only thing that won’t destroy my mental state).

 

[Midoriya]

I'm continuing to watch Naruto fight against Pain in Naruto Shippuden. Naruto is on the verge of losing. Things have become boring, so I've decided to narrate Pain's lines in Alvin's voice from Alvin and the Chipmunks. Take this scene:

and now read it with this voice:

Perfection.

I'm throwing in recs for Saiki K. If it's your type of humour, I think you'll love it.

 

[Reginald Fairfield]

I like this person's take on the Funimation, Crunchyroll merger. I also hope Crunchyroll doesn't get Funimation's old customer support staff.

I don't know what you've seen, or are into, but the last anime I've seen that would fit that description might be "Haven't you Heard? I'm Sakamoto". I'm trying to find a good clip on youtube.
