Have fun with MHA season four! It's regarded by fans as subpar to the first three seasons, but I still enjoyed it. And season five was really good, so you'll have to let me know which season you enjoy more, season four or season five, lol.
Yep, it sure is! There's a reason why it ranked #1 on MAL for anime for so long. Everything from the settings to the character development to the writing and action is all amazing.

Do you have a favorite character?
You're so right. The characters are just amazing and actually feel like real people. Don't even get me started on how well female characters are treated compared to other anime and western media. It makes me so happy!

Still deciding on a number one top but I definitely love Ed, Al, Winry, Roy, and Riza (I'm basic).
Pride is my fav homunculus.
What about you?
So I'm on episode 207 of Naruto Shippuden now. All I can say is that,
I'm interested to see the fight between Killer Bee and Kisame.
The Five Kage Summit seemed to go well. Haha, just joking. It was a disaster.

I finished season 1 of Shadows House today and I'm happy to see that a second season is planned for this summer. I really enjoyed this anime. I liked the characters, the art style, the music and of course the story. It's dark and mysterious with touches of light-hearted humor. The premise is unique and I can't wait to see where the story goes from here.
I also watched the first episode of Spy x Family that aired today. So far it seems like it's going to be a fun watch. Spies, action, heart-warming interactions and the little girl, Anya, is so precious.

I'm just a ghost.
I always question why Pokemon had so many filler episodes that don't add anything to the story. Now granted sometimes it does but when you get to the newer seasons it sometimes makes no sense.

I just finished watching Kotaro Lives Alone, and I wasn’t prepared for the feelings. The only other anime that has ever made me this sad was Violet Evergarden. Would still recommend it to other people though.
I wasn’t satisfied with the ending, so I’ll have to continue with the manga and see if it answers some of my questions.

I mean right now, I haven't watched all of 4, but it's definitely one of the weaker seasons to me. But I remember it'd fluctuate where one season engaged me a lot and then the next was just alright.
I have started Ousama Ranking (Ranking of Kings) and am about 2 episodes in so far. I think it's really interesting so far. I like the art direction and style, and think the main characters are really unique and loveable. I'm excited to see what happens
Finished Ousama Ranking!!
Mixed feelings. The art direction was fantastic. Easily one of the best I've seen!
I liked that all of the characters (minus Bojji) were NOT black-and-white wholely good or wholely bad. I think so many works of fiction end up creating characters that are either morally untouchable or morally irredeemable, which doesn't reflect how most people really are: morally grey with some bad and some good aspects. For that I think this series is so fresh in how it explores characters who are "human" and behave in ways that reflect upon the reality that is: good people can do bad things and bad people can do good things.
However, I think one of the overarching themes (there can be redemption and forgiveness) was pushed in a very unnecessary direction in the final two episodes of the season (22 and 23).
Why did we have to have Miranjo marrying Daida??? That was so unnecessary and honestly the age gap icked me out. I feel like Miranjo's forgiveness and redemption was undermined by the romance subplot. It came up so out of the blue I was literally shocked Daida proposed to her.
Overall, I think it was a good anime! Just disliked where the last two episodes took the plot.

Picked up Hunter x Hunter again after I had stopped around 11 episodes into the Chimera ant arc. I've only watched like 2 episodes so far and ngl (no pun intended, hxh fans) I'm lost. It's been a sec and I forgot how weirdly confusing and honestly weird this arc is. Plus I forgot like, everything about nen lol.
I know most spoilers if not all of the show so walking into season 5 and knowing that killua's character development and overall self worth will improve and he will begin to realize the flaws in him and gon's relationship (and realize that gon is an inherently selfish protagonist) will all of this they eventually have to seperate and boy do i have chronic depression from this show knowing all that hurts me inside.
Anyway hopefully I can get through these 50+ episodes quickly and understand the plot alright. I miss watching greed island and yorknew for the first time aa there was no sadness

I'm on episode 217 of Naruto Shippuden now, and I have to say, while Naruto still being on a manhunt for Sasuke kind of messed up the show, you do have to admire his dedication, lol.
Almost at the halfway point of the show now (episode 250 of 500).

I finally got around to watching this and I have to say I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. All of the clips I had seen were just of them performing so I really had no idea about the story behind it, but it was quite good. The old school art style and the fact that there was no speaking dialogue was also very nostalgic. The music wasn't to my personal taste but it fit the anime and helped tell the story so I appreciated it in that regard. I'm glad you posted it because otherwise I don't think I would have ever been inclined to watch it and I ended up really liking it.

Finally I've finished the last 3 episodes of the second season of 86. The happiness and relief I feel is indescribable. (My eyes. Swollen. From crying.)
I still remember how the last episode of the first season left me distraught and panicked. Can't remember another anime series that did that to me. By and large, I don't like war anime and tend to avoid them. This one somehow grabbed me and wouldn't let go. Riveting story. Good pacing. Great production values. I love the character cast. I've been told the anime has been very faithful to the light novels it is based on, with many blink-and-you-miss-it details carefully and lovingly incorporated.
86 isn't just about war. It's about human values and emotions, about finding a way forward even when there seems to be nothing but crippling guilt and cynicism left.
Apparently there's a lot more story in the light novels, so if there is a new season, I will definitely watch it. For now, I just want to say 86 is a gem, I'm in awe of the story telling, and I will never ever, forget the 86.

Get ready to DEFEND! The Rising Of The Shield Hero season two episode two is here!
Up next time on Shield Hero season two, episode three. "Shaking Land." You won't want to miss it!
The lady from before reveals herself as Ost Horai, the familiar of the Spirit Tortoise. She asks for Naofumi and others to defeat the Spirit Tortoise, because someone is controlling it. Originally it was meant to stop the Waves from appearing, but someone is manipulating it into doing what they want. Naofumi meets with the generals of each nation and together they come up with a plan to try and trap it and immobilize it so they can cut off its head. Will things go so smoothly for them though? Just as the group is having a nice night, the Spirit Tortoise roars.

a thousand words in one sigh
There's so many I could talk about...InuYasha, Fruits Basket, Cardcaptor Sakura, Wolf's Rain, etc.
I read manga a lot more often than I watch anime, and I remember my first manga was either Lovely Complex or Inubaka (Crazy About Dogs). Not sure what technically my first anime was, probably Pokemon or Speed Racer lol. Idk why I'm thinking about firsts...I thought it would be fun.

If you ever wanna talk about fruits basket my pms are open
Haha anyways, I'm missing the whole comfortable slice of life/romance that isn't either a really bad plot or somehow weirdly supernatural (ahem bunny girl senpai) Any recommendations?

HAHAHAHA, I finally watched the episode of Naruto Shippuden where Kakashi almost becomes Hokage and him and Might Guy race. The way he runs and jumps IS PRICELESS. I nearly died from laughter!
