The Anime Thread

I got caught up on My Hero Academia today.

Fat Gum running away with Tokoyami nestled in his belly fat was hilarious! But, wow, the end of that episode with Twice and Toga really gave me feels.
 
Raven of the Inner Palace was a new anime that I was interested in watching this season. It took a backseat until I got caught up on Spy x Family and My Hero Academia since I was already invested in those stories, but now I'm all caught up on Raven of the Inner Palace as well.

Only 3 episodes in I would say that I'm enjoying it so far. It takes place in ancient China and seems to do a lot of things right to make it feel more Chinese than Japanese, except that it does have Japanese voice actors which is to be expected. There's a mysterious quality to the show, a lot of references to death and the afterlife and finding peace for lost souls. The main character has an intriguing backstory and although things seem to be more episodic at the moment, there is a relationship building between the lead characters that I think will eventually become a focal point later in the series.
 
Does anyone have any recommendations for laid-back slice-of-life or drama style anime?
Horimiya... it's romance too but it's so chill and very sweet. And for drama, fruits basket. Everyone should watch fruits basket at least once its my all time #1

Also, I've been hearing a lot of good things about this anime and I might give it a watch. Has anyone here seen it and thoughts on it!
 
I used to read the manga as a kid as it was coming out (but stopped right before the ending) and owned the first anime DVD so I must ask, how does the new version compare?
It's fantastic. Same voice actors as the first show, just better because they've improved. There's three seasons and it completes the whole story very well, the art style is beautiful, and it's just a well done emotional ending.
 
I need a new, short anime to watch. I finished Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 weeks ago and have no idea what to watch next

Less than 40 episodes to go of Naruto Shippuden! I'm excited to make it to the end. :D
ooh, nice! did you watch the fillers too or skipped it?

Wow, that's great to hear!

Since they complete the whole story, would you recommend I just watch the new show, and go back to the old show if I like it later?
 
Has anyone else here watched Made in Abyss? I watched the first season awhile ago, and didn't realize until recently that there's a second season now. It's definitely on my list to watch along with Mob Psycho 100 III, JoJo's Bizarre Adventures: Stone Ocean part two, and Spy x Family. But first I need to finish Naruto... lol.

I still need to watch season 2, but I also enjoyed the first season (besides one part near the end where they bait the audience into believing something that didn't happen would happen, but I guess that part is anime original/not in the manga so it's forgivable). I find the characters cute and there's a good sense of exploration and world building!
 
I am planning to watch Made in Abyss sometime soon. I haven't seen any of it yet but it's high on my watchlist. I just need to find the time.
 
I've decided to watch the rest of the Ghost Stories dub for Halloween. The jokes are incredibly edgy, but it still improves a show I that would otherwise be mediocre.
 
Are you ready to go beyond? Plus ULTRA!


Mirko continues to fight the Nomus at the secret lab as reinforncements arrive. Meanwhile, Dabi has Hawks by his talons and reveals his true identity, saying that neither Shigaraki nor the League ever mattered to Dabi. He shares the same ideals as the Hero Killer, Stain. Dabi then unleashes a final move, which it's unclear whether Hawks survived or not.

Eraser Head and other heroes arrive to help Mirko out. Present Mic carries off the doctor, capturing him, and leaves Shigaraki, who has been freed from the capsule thanks to Mirko, in another hero's hands. Unfortunately for the heroes, due to some unforeseen circumstances, Shigaraki awakens anyway. Just how will our heroes counter All For One's successor?

Up next time on My Hero Academia season six, episode five. "The Thrill of Destruction." You won't want to miss it! (y)

Watched a BUNCH of Naruto Shippuden last night, and finished the war arc. Now I'm about to watch Naruto and Sasuke fight for the final time. It's going to be epic. Only 25 episodes to go! :D
Awesome you’re almost finished! Gotta love a classic Naruto and Sasuke fight lol. Not one fight did I watch where I was disappointed in Shippuden

I just finished it, and it WAS epic. I'm on the last 20 episodes now, which seem like they're just tales of what happens to everyone afterwards and whatnot. I don't have enough time today to get through them all, but it's safe to say I should be finished with it by the end of this next weekend. 🤩
