The Anime Thread

I decided to take a break from Case Closed and started to watch Kaguya-sama: Love Is War for the second time and I've been enjoying it. I'm excited for the third season next month and cannot wait for April to arrive.
 
Get ready to transform! Attack on Titan the final season part two episode eleven is here.

The band works together to kill the Jaegerists. Falco transforms into the Jaw Titan and helps out as well. Floch dies, and the rest of the Jaegerists and reinforcements are taken out (thanks to Keith Shadis). As the group boards the ship and heads for Odiha, Keith Shadis and Theo Magath have a friendly exchange before they blow themselves and the other ship up, so that the anti-Eren group can't be caught. Will they finally be able to stop Eren once and for all, or will Eren prevail at destroying the rest of the world?

Next time on Attack on Titan, the SERIES FINALE! Episode 87. "The Dawn of Humanity." You won't want to miss it! (y)
 
With Attack on Titan coming to an end, I'm probably going to start watching season five of My Hero Academia, but in the dub. I've watched all five seasons in the sub, but only through season four of the dub. It'll be interesting for sure.

I've literally started doing this myself as I stayed fairly up to date as the sub released and am now rewatching season 5 but dubbed as my boyfriend hasn't seen it yet and he prefers dubs.
 
The trailer for Komi Can't Communicate season 2 came out a few days ago!
Honestly I'm real excited for it's international debut on April 27th. Season 1 was really funny and sweet. From the looks of it season 2 will hopefully be just as good!

I finished Love is Hard for an Otaku. Sadly there's probably not going to be a season 2 but the first one was great. Maybe I'll read the manga.

Finally, on Sunday I watched Adam By Eve (not technically anime but elements of it) and guys. It was so good. The story was interesting and the mix of music, anime, and live action was beautiful. Gave me a ton of inspiration and I would highly suggest it if you wanna watch an eerie yet aesthetically pleasing audiovisual. The music was also really good. It all felt really surreal.
 
It's almost here, the finale of Attack on Titan itself!!!

As we get closer to the end of such an epic anime show that has managed to captivate millions, what is your favorite scene from the show? It can be from any season, so long as it's an official Attack on Titan scene (and doesn't contain anything gory or that breaks forum rules). I'll share mine as well.

My favorite scene from the show has to be this one where Reiner and Eren fight again. I've absolutely loved watching how they fight each other evolve throughout the show. It went from Reiner easily winning against Eren before, to Eren gaining new skills and knowledge to have the advantage.

Oh, wow, it's so hard to pick just one favorite scene because this anime has been full of epic moments! I'm not going to share the video due to gore, but I think the scene that stands out the most to me was very early on when Eren got eaten by the titan in season 1. I know I probably didn't need to put that in a spoiler, but just in case someone hasn't seen the show yet and wants to...

That moment is so memorable to me because that's when I knew that this show was going to be different. It stunned me and I had to watch more.

My second favorite moment involves my favorite character, Hange. I loved her obsession with the titans and the way she treated them differently from everyone else. So my second favorite moment is when we meet "Sonny" and "Bean", her pet titans, and get to see how she interacts with them.

Omg, I absolutely loved that first one you mentioned. It was such a great scene and just unexpected. It showed that even the main protagonists in this show are not invincible.

The second one you mentioned was really good too. I thought it was really interesting that she was studying them. It also made me super nervous as well, however. :LOL:
 
Just downloaded the Crunchyroll Switch app. I haven't watched a ton of anime so hoping to find some shows on there I like. How exactly do the subscriptions work? Because I tried watching one show and it immediately told me to log in, then I watched another and it started playing. Are certain series available in their entirety without a subscription? Just wanted to ask before I get invested in some show and it wants me to pay halfway through.

I believe you're able to watch some shows for free, but you'll get advertisements. At least, that's what I heard from others. Someone besides me can probably explain it better.

Thanks! I did get an ad when I watched the free show so I think that's how it works? Also I realized I could just look at the episode list and it seems like I can watch the entire show.

I'll probably get a subscription at some point but I might as well get as much as I can out of the free version first.

O.K., so you guys made me finally realize that I don't need my VRV subscription anymore. Especially because it's basically just Crunchyroll now. So I made a new Crunchyroll account, subscribed on it, cancelled my subscription on VRV, and then added my shows by going to the last episode/movie of each one so they show up in my queue.

And you also made me realize that the Switch has a Crunchyroll app that was released last month. So I downloaded that as well, and now I can watch anime on my mounted TV from the comfort of my bed.

Now excuse me while I go and enjoy this more than I probably should.

I don't even know what they have, or who owns them.
 
I watched the finale of Platinum End a few days ago and the fact that I waited this long to post about should be a clue as to my opinion on it. I went into the show with high hopes because it was from the creators of Death Note. The first few episodes had a brutality about them that reminded me of Mirai Nikki, so my expectations soared even higher. By the half-way point of the season, I was just bored. By the end, I really didn't care about any of the characters or what happened to them. I was only still watching because once I start something, I like to finish it. Then, they ended it all by literally spelling out the message they were trying to convey, which felt kind of demeaning, as if they thought their audience was too dumb to grasp the concept.

It wasn't the worst anime I've ever seen, but I definitely wouldn't recommend it. It was average at best.
 

Crunchyroll is losing a fair amount of titles with around a week's notice. It could be Sony being picky about what content they support again, or Sentai taking back some titles for, the now AMC owned, Hidive.
 
Dang, can't believe Crunchyroll is doing all of that.... but then again I can.

I just wish there was a more reliable streaming service for anime.
 
Yikes. I feel bad for those who want to watch anime legitimately. Things are a disaster right now and make it hard.
