The Anime Thread

Finally finished all 131 episodes of Dragon Ball Super! Such a good anime, I really enjoyed it all the way through. Going to miss having episodes to watch, but at least I have a couple movies. I also finished the 3rd season of Love is War. I thought it had a good ending overall! I'm not sure if they plan on making anymore seasons, but if not I think it was okay to end there. Lastly, started and finished The Case Study of Vanitas. It was so good I marathoned it in a day. Excited to check out the second season of it too. It felt good to complete stuff on my watch list.
 
I watched The Girl from the Other Side over the past two days. It was broken into three 30-ish minute episodes on Crunchyroll, but is probably best viewed as a movie. The animation is very stylized and works well for this particular story. The story has a haunting, somber tone and feels like a dark fairy tale. It's truly beautiful overall and I'm glad I got to watch it.
 
just wanted to pop in and say last night my SO and I watched the first 3 episodes of Ouran High School Host Club together and I LOVE IT. it's so funny and quirky. definitely want to watch more soon!

I haven't gotten around to watching MHA or Sailor Moon yet but I'm def gonna do that soon, watching OHSHC has given me some confidence that I might actually like watching these shows after all!

i love sailor moon, it's a classic. its got a very broad appeal so i think you'll enjoy it a lot :) be sure to start with the OG anime and not the remake!
 
I finished Ergo Proxy tonight. This might be my favorite anime of all time. It rewards viewers who watch carefully with a captivating story. The soundtrack is great too. The opening alone is easily among my top 5 favorites. It’s a shame some anime elitists think “casual viewers” can’t understand or enjoy it. I’ve only watched 110 different series and I got the entire plot. Sadly I doubt it’ll be ever be a popular series outside of its cult following. Sci-fi anime in general just doesn’t get the same attention as slice of life, action, or fantasy. Many people recommended Serial Experiments Lain for those that enjoy Ergo Proxy, so I’ll try picking it up again.
 
At the moment I'm watching My Dress up Darling, Jujutsu Kaisen and Spy X Family.

I'm going to cosplay Yor in a few weeks 😂 or at least I'm planning to.

Reminds me I'm still only on like, episode four of Spy x Family, lol.

I haven't really been watching anime recently. Fell off the wagon with it after work got busier and was more interested in video games (plus I can never seem to find the ideal time to just binge). I'll probably post more about Spy x Family and Naruto Shippuden at some point soon.

I tend to binge it at night and even then it's not really much of a binge. 3 episodes at most, because I get too tired at night then. I definitely fell off for a while but I'm back into it, as well as kpop.

Never gotten into Naruto but I should give it another try. I watched some sort of Demon King academy anime the other day and it had too much violence that it was corny so I noped out of it pretty fast.
 
For the past few weeks I've been keeping up with Lycoris Recoil and Love Live Superstar 2nd season, which are both really really good!!
Lycoris Recoil is basically about girls with guns completing mostly escort missions and working undercover in a cafe, which is actually very fun to watch, I've been enjoying it a lot! Even tho, yknow, characters are really powerful, it doesn't get boring or, at least, for the past episodes it didn't, so I'm really looking forward the next ones ☺️ 🙏 Also, the main characters have such cute designs, I love them sm!!
As for Love Live Superstar 2nd season, I have been enjoying it, but I do have to say - it's very slow for now. We're 5 episodes in and we still have one of the new first years not in the group, which is kind of surprising, since I remember that in the other love lives the show was pretty fast paced. But even though it has been like that, it doesn't feel dull to me, because I really love the characters from this one and the visuals are very pretty too!! Ever since nijigasaki ended, which was very underwhelming for me, I was super excited for superstar, because the first season was super fun, and now that the second season is here I can say that for now I am not disappointed. The new first years feel fresh and exciting, I like them, but Keke and Sumire will forever be my favorites 💖

I haven't watched Ergo Proxy but it's one of those anime that catches my eye every time it pops up somewhere. Then, I unfortunately always forget about it because I'm too busy watching other things. I really should give it a go sometime. But I have seen Serial Experiments Lain and highly recommend it. It's one of my favorite anime of all time. If you like deep plots that really give you something to think about, then Serial Experiments Lain is a must watch. It also has a great opening theme song in my opinion.

Yor is the best! It would be so fun to cosplay as her. 🖤
 
I've only seen parts of the first few seasons of Bleach dubbed on Adult Swim back in the day, so I've started watching Bleach in preparation for the new season. I find the characters more likeable subbed, and even though I still dislike her, even Orihime is tolerable in Japanese. The soundtrack is legendary, of course.

(and since it's news to me, I'll share this information...Bleach is streamable for free on Tubi!)

I've heard mixed things about Bleach, but mostly good things. I may have to check it out at some point.
 
As of writing this post I have officially passed episode 380 of Naruto Shippuden, "The Day Naruto Was Born." It has taken the past 1-2 years, but I've managed to make it to this point from the first episode of the OG Naruto all while not skipping any episodes at all, not even the filler. And now I finally get to watch my favorite opening from this show for however many episodes! Definitely in my top 10 favorites of all of anime openings. 😎


Only 120 episodes left to go!

My husband loves Bleach but thought the filler was excrutiating. I've seen bits and pieces of it and I think I'd watch it if it didn't have so much filler that's so badly done. The story itself seems like it's actually pretty good and there are plenty of cool characters.

I really want to start watching this

It's a great show! As @TheDuke55 has mentioned it has some writing problems (especially in Shippuden), but overall it's really fun to watch and binge to pass time with.

I'd recommend starting with the original Naruto series if you haven't seen either of them. It's nine seasons long, but really worth it. However, it's not entirely necessary to watch in order to watch Naruto Shippuden. Although a lot of the events from the original series are referenced in Shippuden.

If you do decide to watch it I hope you enjoy it! The show does have a lot of good life lessons in it. :giggle:
 
I don’t really watch anime anymore except for anything Studio Ghibli releases. But my favourite animes were Psycho Pass (I even cosplayed as a character when I was a teenager lol) and Samurai 7 (the one from 2004? I think based off of the movie by Akira Kurosawa — Also one of my most fav movies of all time!).
