The Anime Thread

[Bluelady]

Yay! I finally finished the final season of the original Sailor Moon anime (dub). I started re-watching Sailor Moon about 4 years ago, when my niece became interested in anime. I figured that watching the dub version would be easier for my niece to handle, since she was just a kid at that time. We made it up to the end of season 4 before she lost interest. To be honest, I'm kind of glad that she did. The last eight episodes of season 5 were a bit intense with the drama. Poor Usagi, she went through a lot in that short amount of time.

Also the nudity towards the end of the last episode. Seriously, can someone explain to me why they decided to draw her naked? It was especially awkward to see her naked surrounded by her friends and Mamoru.

I haven't seen the show. Can you provide some context to the scene?

Sometimes they have a featureless, sometimes differently colored version of the character to represent their soul, or fighting spirit, or some crap. I'm guessing that's not what you want to hear.

If that was a "how dare they put this in a kid's show", most of our imported kid's shows have been butchered versions, originally aimed toward a older audience. Cardcaptor Sakura lost over half of it's episodes. [I/SPOILER]

My favourite Cardcaptors thing was

Spoiler

When Syaoran is on the phone with Sakura and is blushing because you know, crushes. But in the original dub they changed it so he's on the phone with his Mom which to me is honestly more weird since he's blushing.

In the last few episodes before this one, the Sailor Scouts and Mamoru were defeated and had their Star Seeds stolen by a corrupted Sailor Galaxia. So in a sense they died. I might be getting the order mixed up, but Usagi's heart-shaped pendant thing shattered as well. Hence the naked appearance. Flesh colored skin with either undefined private parts or they were blocked from view by her wings. She was able to remain alive due to outside intervention. During the fight Sailor Galaxia had demon wings and Usagi had angel wings and a sword. I can only guess that they were going for a demon vs. angel theme? Anyway, Usagi was able to revive everyone and that's when we get to the awkward reunion scene, imo.

The nudity doesn't offend me. However, I do find that scene odd because she is the only one without clothes. Everyone else regained their fighting outfits. I wasn't sure if there's some cultural differences that I'm missing, if it was ever explained in an interview or simply just an artistic take.

Um, noooooo... there are only 500 episodes of Naruto Shippuden. I'm currently at the tail end of the Infinite Tsukuyomi dream arc. I don't know what you looked at, but it must have the wrong information, or you may have been looking at a different episode format for the show.

That makes sense. When I looked it up, it mentioned it was the Pain arc. But it was for the filler. I missed that part, that's my fault lol. I totally forgot about how they put an entire repeat/dream arc inside the main arc.

Spoiler

I actually kind of liked Tenten's dream in that one. Or at least the idea behind it would've been great if executed better. I think her playing an important part during this would've been pretty cool.

No worries! It was easy to get mixed up since it was basically showing the same story with slight alterations.

Spoiler

omggggg yessss, Tenten's dream was my favorite. It actually seemed pretty cool, especially when Menma kind of recognized that she wasn't from his world. It put everything into perspective. It would have been great had they expanded upon that. Oh well.

Recommendations on an anime to watch after Demon Slayer that is similar?

It depends. Demon Slayer is technically shounen, so I'm going to end up recommending you a lot of shounen shows that you may or may not like since that's mainly what I watch.

Ones that are from the same genre that I liked include,

Jujutsu Kaisen
Hunter x Hunter.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventures
Mob Psycho 100
Fire Force
Black Clover

These are ranked from the ones I think you should watch the most to least. Let me know if any of these click for you. If not, I'm sure someone else here might have some recommendations as well.

Thank you, Riley! I consider you an expert in the field and was hoping to get your recommendations! I will definitely check these out in the order you provided! I really like the art style and storyline presentation of Demon Slayer. The plot is easy to follow and hooks me enough to keep me interested and wanting to watch the next episode each time.

Aside from these, I forgot to mention My Hero Academia as well (what my username is based off of). It's really, really great, but be warned it's basically all about superheroes and supervillains, so if you don't like stuff like that, then you should avoid it.

You're welcome!

Would you know if the Rock Lee spin-off cartoon got a U.S. release?

Does anyone have any recommendations for laid-back slice-of-life or drama style anime?

I'm not seeing a dub for it anywhere on Crunchyroll, but apparently there's DVDs for it in both Japanese and English? Interesting... I'd definitely be interested in it just because Rock Lee is my favorite Naruto series character, lmao.

I'm probably not the best person for slice of life recommendations as I tend to go for more action-y stuff, but two I would recommend are Blue Period and Komi Can't Communicate! Given is also a really good one that's like a drama/slice of life/romance.

Recommendations on an anime to watch after Demon Slayer that is similar?

I second Riley's suggestions of Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia. Both are excellent shounen anime with great action, stories, and characters. Jujutsu Kaisen is more supernatural while My Hero Academia is all about the hero/villain dynamic. I don't get into a lot of shounen anime, but these two are at the top of my list.

I haven't actually had the chance to see the original Cardcaptors.

Spoiler

Was Sakura's brother actually with the bespectacled boy, or was that the wishful thinking of another shipper?
