The Anime Thread

[Autumn247]

I'm re-watching Komi Can't Communicate, It's been awhile since I've seen it and since I watched it last I believe some new episodes have been added that I haven't seen, but I've re-started from the beginning since I really enjoy the series and wanted to see all of it again, I really didn't realize new episodes were being added regularly so I'm glad I finally re-subscribed to Netflix

I'm also watching Pokémon Master Journeys. I love the Pokémon anime, it always puts me in a good mood and helps me when I'm feeling down. It's just so cute, sweet, fun and has some good lessons in it. I've been watching the anime since I was 5 or 6 and I'm 28 now and never will get tired of it

I've been picking up on watching Anime a bit lately. Had watched Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle, Toilet-bound Hanako-kun, The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent, and Horimiya. Started watching Fire Force (Season 1) and like what I'm seeing so far. It's a little bit weird for me to watch Anime again since I was about that WebToons life. (I still am about that life though, but I decided to another stockpile read for a bit.) Plan to watch the next season of Fire Force after finishing season one. Haven't decided what comes after that yet.

I hope you enjoy Fire Force! It's really, really good.

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.

I LOVE Rock and Guy sensei, they’re so goofy but so strong. I love the bond they have

It's time for your feature presentation...

Spoiler: feature presentation

Ah, just kidding! We're not looking for that version of mixed nuts! We're looking for this one!

Welcome to the wonderful world of spies in... Spy x Family! Since I know most of you have already seen the first season of the show, I am going to be doing something different and only watching one episode a day, and showcasing my favorite scenes from each episode.

Spoiler: episode pictures and thoughts

I absolutely LOVE the relationship between Twilight and Anya. Truly adorable. I also love that there's action in this show as well. It has everything!

....and okay, looks like their relationship isn't the best at times since she's a telepath.

And I'm praying for you, buddy, that Anya doesn't read your mind seeing as you're affiliated with Twilight's mission.

Get a load of these guys that obviously aren't researchers/scientists and obviously aren't creepy.

Okay, my mans, but just listen... what if her drawings could create world peace?

Yeah, sure, he's dead already. In the first episode. Welp, guess that's the end of this show...

Anyway, I absolutely love it so far, and I can't wait to watch the rest of the episodes! ​

I really want to watch Spy x Family. I actually mentioned it at work to someone that I was thinking of watching it, and they said it was amazing. It’s something to do on my two days off, because that’s what’s in store for me these next two days. From what I’ve seen and heard, it does sound very intriguing.

I've been thinking of watching it sometime too! Not watching much anime recently but it's on my list.

I finished watching Moriarty the Patriot today and I loved it! The opening theme songs were good. The characters were all likeable in their own way. The story was an interesting take on the Sherlock/Moriarty rivalry. There were nods to other famous British icons, real and fictional. I'm so glad I was finally able to watch it!

I also watched the first 3 episodes of RWBY: Ice Queendom which were in a single hour long feature on Crunchyroll. I guess RWBY can be called a proper anime now. Ice Queendom seems to be condensing the story we know from the original and running through it at a rapid pace. All the vital information is there, but I think it's better suited for people who already know the original work because it doesn't give you time to build as much connection to the characters. However, it's also introduced a new character and storyline that was not part of the original. So I guess I'll keep watching to see where it leads.

Nah, we're not looking for those spies, we're looking for these!

Spoiler: episodes two and three pictures and thoughts

I absolutely LOVE this show even more now. The family relationship between Twilight, Yor, and Anya is absolutely adorable, and they all have hidden skills as well.

Yeah, I can't accept it either, Anya. My mans the informant is too short and doesn't have the right hairdo.

Alright, that isn't creepy at all. Sure, go ahead.

Geez, did they not try leveling you up? You must be level one, you noob informant.

Oh snap, it's fate. Only someone who can sneak up on Twilight deserves to be married to him. Sorry, informant guy. You just didn't make the cut.

Dang, mama's got skills.

Nah, don't worry, you're good. That guy was probably needing a nap anyway.

Congrats! You're now married to an assassin by way of an illegal document. Have fun!

Ayyyy, it's the namesake of the opening of the show.

Is this guy a frog in disguise? Man, I swear, everyone in this city is hiding something.

Modest.

Me too, pal.

Nah, you're okay, dude. Your family is absolutely 100% completely normal. /s

Madame! You are SCARING the child!

Nevermind, the child is pretty ruthless herself.

When I resume the show I'll binge episodes four, five, and six together. Until next time!

Guys, Studio Trigger doing a Panty and Stocking anime project! Excited for it? What do you think it'll be?

I hadn't heard about this yet, so thanks for posting. I loved the original series. Not sure what this new project will be but I hope it'll be good.

Never really watched it, but it's weird that so many of the old shows from the 2000s are getting rebooted. I saw Panty and Stocking, Trigun, and Bleach trending on Twitter when I checked to see how my friends were doing. It's really cool though!

I remember how cool it was to randomly just catch Samurai Jack's reboot trailer on Adult Swim one night.

 

[Midoriya]

Finished season 15 of Naruto Shippuden! All I can say about this season without spoiling anything is that the action scenes were pretty cool.

Now I'm on season 16, which is the penultimate season with the way everything is set up. Season 17 is the final season, but consists of a LOT of episodes. I'm looking forward to watching even more ninja battles, and I'm now only 8 episodes away from seeing something pretty cool.

Also, does this guy every stop worrying?

No, the answer is no.

 

[DarkDesertFox]

Finished Sk∞ the other day! Very solid anime overall. Had a great ending which is always a strong determining factor for me in how I feel about the anime overall. Not sure if they plan a second season, but in my opinion it doesn't really need one. It's always great to see more content, but I get worried about them ruining an anime with more seasons like with The Promised Neverand. I'm also 32 episodes into Dragon Ball Super. Super hooked on it. I always love that Dragon Ball implements a family focus because I feel like that's something a lot of anime lacks. The relationships between all the characters just feels really great. Goku will never be in my top favorite characters though because he's just too airheaded for my taste. Like, airheaded to the point of threatening the destruction of the Earth just to fight someone again...

@Venti Even if someone managed to knock him out in battle, he'd still be over-worrying in his dream. I totally forgot about him. He and his sister are extreme opposites.

 

[LadyDestani]

I just saw the trailer for season 2 of To Your Eternity! It's coming this fall and I'm so excited!

 

[Midoriya]

I made it to episode 330 of Naruto Shippuden and saw a lot of cool things. But I love this counting song, it will play in my dreams while I sleep...

Spoiler: counting song contains some show spoilers

Oh yeah, and can't forget the one to top them all (aside from openings and endings)...

I'm really looking forward to watching the next 170 episodes.

According to angry people on twitter, anyone who likes Panty and Stocking are [kid lovers], also Wario is a Trump supporter. I need sleep.

I found a handy tip for watching anime! If you get easily distracted like me, try putting your phone in another room. That prevents you from checking for notifications on websites.

Edit: I also started Kill la Kill. It's exactly the kind of anime I've been looking for. There's ton of well animated action, while having a fun story. After a ton of slow paced slice of life anime this is a breath of fresh air.

 

[amemome]

Noticed Aharen was done airing for the season so I've started watching!

I'm two episodes in and it has been cute so far. It seems like a Komi-esque anime (similar themes and narrative direction) so far as well, but that's just my hunch!
