The Anime Thread

I decided to watch the Hellsing Ultimate series as I got into it recently and I'm enjoying it so far. Currently I'm on the third episode and taking my time with it. I'll probally resume watching the other shows I'm watching sometime soon.
 
I watched episode 9 of Kaguya-sama season 3 dub (I normally prefer sub, but this series is an exception). This is the best episode of the season so far. It was consistently funny and there were a few genuinely sweet segments. I’m looking forward to seeing the rest of the season once the rest of the dub is released.
 
I'm on season 15 of Naruto Shippuden now, and almost at the 300 episode mark. I have to say, that six episode "Power" season was interesting for context. Only three seasons left to go now! It's hard to believe I started the OG Naruto a year or two ago, and I'm already almost done with the show. :D
 
Just finished Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood and good god it was amazing.

The pacing of the story was fabulous and the character development and bonds were ace. Its cast of characters were all lovely to watch (except Mei lol) and there are many I like. It was also really fun to watch Ed and Winry age as the series progressed and it was neat how gradual it was. The ending was super satisfying and fitting as well, though Roy's mustache is disgusting lolol.

I have some of the light novels and the 4 panel comic book to read still so it's not over yet!
 
Just got my DVD recently of Dragon Ball Super with all the episodes and 3 movies. Super excited to start that soon.

I need to finish Shippuden at some point. I got to episode 275 and probably haven't watched it for like 5+ years LOL. The filler can be a bit much for me.

Oh yeah, it's starting to get so amazing as I near the end. I love watching the strategies they come up with. I haven't skipped any of the episodes in the entire show, not even the filler. But that's probably just because I'm a diehard Shounen fan. :LOL:
 
I'm watching the infamous Endless Eight arc from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. It's actually my favorite part of the show so far. The rest bored me to tears, but this is somewhat interesting. Finding the minor differences each episode is really entertaining.
 
Man I watched some of the Star Wars Visions a few weeks ago (still need to finish it) but my goodness, it was very weird to see Stars Wars as an anime.

First, some episodes had some very interesting animation style choices.

Second, at least one episode had a very weird plot that didn’t seem Star Wars at all except it had some Star Wars characters in it

Third, the animation and voice acting are what you’d expect from an anime and not from a typical Star Wars show/movie, especially including some very common anime tropes like over-the-top action scenes, characters being really dramatic/emotional, or just saying stuff that really doesn’t seem like normal dialogue normal people would say. Definitely gave it a different experience from traditional Star Wars material.

One thing I did like tho was some of the episodes had good concepts and character designs, which I felt would be awesome if expanded upon into its own series. Probably would be paced and structured a lot better that way too, so the story flowed more naturally.

Over all I give it a 7/10

Finished season twelve of Naruto Shippuden. Season thirteen is starting out really good. I REALLY can't wait to get to episode 327 or 328 though to hear that one OST song and see something special (won't spoil what it is). I'm around 50 episodes or less away from it and it's going to be so epic, along with the rest of the story that unfolds.

AH I just started Shippuden! I was obsessed with Naruto when I was in fifth grade, but dropped it when kids in middle school said anime was lame…15 years later I’m catching up ^^” I’m on episode 112 right now, but I’m skipping filler episodes.

That's great! I'm sorry others turned you away from anime when you were younger. I find that people like that diss anime because they've never tried watching one themselves, or they're watching the wrong shows for their particular interests. After all, it's a medium, not a genre.

Ahh, the ending of the Three Tails arc and the beginning of the Sasuke arc... I think you're really going to enjoy the next episodes! :D
 
i've finally finished watching Hellsing and now I'm resuming watching Love Live Sunshine now that I have the time for it. I'm enjoying it so far.

Just watched Kakashi’s backstory!! 😍😍😍 what are you watching right now?
 
I've finished the current seasons of Spy x Family and Rising of the Shield Hero. I enjoyed them both and can't wait for them to resume.

In this coming anime season, I'm looking forward to season 2 of Shadows House and The Girl from the Other Side.

Ooooh Sk8! What episode are you on right now? Who's your favourite character(s)?
 
Get ready to DEFEND. THIS. HOUSE! ONE MORE TIME! The Rising Of The Shield Hero season two finale is here!


L'arc's party continues to handle the Calamity Wave while Naofumi's party is transported to Kyo's lab thanks to Ethnobalt. Naofumi and others infiltrate the lab. Kazuki's followers have been turned into chimeras, and himself into a homonculus. Raphtalia, Filo, and Yomogi stay behind to take care of them while Naofumi and Rishia go on ahead. Kyo greets them and riles Naofumi up so that Naofumi goes into rage mode. Naofumi turns on Rishia and almost kills her before she snaps him back to his senses by reminding him of all the people and things dear to his heart. With all of his friends by his side, Naofumi unleashes his power at Kyo's power. It's not enough at first, but they put the Mirror Vassal Weapon in front of the Shield Cardinal Weapon, and combine their powers to unleash an even more gigantic blast at Kyo as the season's opening theme plays. Kyo makes some last-second remarks about how much of a loser Naofumi is, even though Kyo is the one who is losing, and then fades into nothing. The Calamity Wave breaks apart and the day is saved thanks to everyone. Naofumi and his party talk to L'arc's party and want to stay in their world for a bit longer, but since the mission is complete, Naofumi and friends must say a sad goodbye to L'arc, Therese, Glass, and Kizuna. Back in his own world, Naofumi is given the title of Viscount by the Queen of Melromarc. With more challenges on the way and a third season coming, Naofumi knows it isn't going to be easy, but that he won't lose... because he is the Shield Hero!

Season in review: Many thought that Shield Hero peaked in season one, and that season two would be worse... for those that watched the second season, however, it wasn't. In fact, many of the fights, themes, and the writing quality was on par or almost on par with the first season. As a stand-out isekai anime, The Rising Of The Shield Hero continues to make its mark not by flashy and interesting fighting scenes, but by its writing, particularly the story and warming moments throughout the show that manage to grip many a viewer. With a third season confirmed to be on the way, Shield Hero fans will be excited for more to come. The Rising Of The Shield Hero season two gets an 8/10 on the anime scale. Until next time!

 
Oh, don't mind me, just going to end the page by showing scenes from the last episode I watched of Naruto Shippuden. I love Rock Lee and Might Guy so much as characters. By far my favorite characters in the show. Reminds me a lot of the relationship I have with my sensei in martial arts. Whether they're in a funny scene like this.

Or in inspiring scenes like this one,


Rock Lee always has been and always will be one of my favorite anime characters.
