The Anime Thread

[Legend Of Cats]

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.

The hype for it is refreshing since it came out long ago it makes me want to watch it all over again. And do you have anything else line up to watch right after you’re done with Shippuden?

Yeah, I'm going to have to catch up on JJBA: Stone Ocean part two and finish that, and then catch up on Spy x Family and Mob Psycho 100 III as well (alongside watching weekly MHA episodes).

I’ve been mostly reading manga lately like Tokyo Revengers and they announced that it’s coming to an end this year. Which sucks since it’s my favorite right now but I can look forward to the anime! I’m currently watching the new Bleach and Chainsaw Man. Bleach is throwing me off with Ichigo flying since I can’t remember if he did that in the first place. And as for Chainsaw Man I’m super invested in it and I really like Denji the MC and his coworker Aki. Oh and Pochita is sooooo CUTE.

I watched episode one of Chainsaw Man...and to say that I have no idea what I watched would be an understatement. Lol. - I will watch the rest of it soon. But, yeah...I guess suspending your disbelief is a requirement for this one. Hahaha.

I finally did it! I finished Naruto Shippuden's 500th and final episode, thereby finishing the series. It took 1-2 years, but I've watched all 720 episodes of Naruto and Naruto Shippuden, and I didn't skip anything.

As with other anime, this show really boosted my spirits during my spare time and helped me a lot. It was what helped me make the final push from working menial jobs to finding something I really love doing. It was truly fun to binge.

And now for a review of the series.

While Naruto Shippuden falls off a bit in writing towards the end and at various spots during the show, it's truly a classic for any shounen fan and a must-watch. The show features action, comedy, romance, pretty much everything, and most importantly, it features Naruto's dream to become Hokage of his village. While there are certainly better shounen shows out there, Naruto Shippuden ranks in at a 7/10 on the anime scale. Until next time. See ya!

Congrats!! That's a huge feat! Now onto One Piece!

Or Yu Yu Hakusho. It was one of the big 3 of the 90's with DBZ and Rurouni Kenshin.

Resumed JoJo's Bizarre Adventures: Stone Ocean with episode 13, and I'm currently on episode 14 now. The show is just as good as I remember, but it's unfortunate we had to wait so long for the second set of episodes. I'm sure some others have forgotten about it or dropped it.

I'll give my full thoughts on the new episodes once I've finished watching through episode 24.

 

[Romaki]

I started Romantic Killer with my niece. I couldn't pay complete attention to it, but so far while it's very cute and funny it's also relatively boring. The concept of being forced into a dating simulator and doing everything to kill the romance is pretty neat, but so far the series seemed to have dropped it and just focuses on random humor. Maybe I've watched too much anime at this point, but I rather have a romance like Toradora or a comedy like Saiki K. This series so far isn't special beside the visuals. I think it would have worked better as a movie actually, but maybe I'll change my mind.

I’ve ventured off and started watching live adaptations of anime, so far I think Death Note did it perfectly (Japanese version.) I’ve watched a bunch of romcom ones and they’re good too like From Me To you. But the live adaptation for Your Lie in April not the best I think sometimes with live adaptions they get some details wrong as in an outfit being worn at a certain event, etc. Other than that it’s been interesting to watch my favorite anime's come to life literally.

 

[Autumn247]

I've been watching two anime shows lately, Digimon season 3 (of the original anime) and Romantic Killer on Netflix

It's time for the villains to go beyond! Plus ULTRA (Happy Halloween!)!

Spoiler: for My Hero Academia S6E5

Dabi continues to burn Hawks, but Tokoyami goes back and saves Hawks. Meanwhile, Shigaraki awakens and uses a "Plus Ultra" Decay move to destroy the surrounding city and kill off a good number of heroes. Ahhh, the taste of villainy on Halloween... smells like bodies that crumbled to dust.

Deku (myself) tries to stop the incoming wave of Decay, but is unsuccessful with One For All at 45%. Todoroki saves him and the others get away. Endeavor, the numero uno hero, is about to confront the powered up Shigaraki, but what will he be able to do?

Next time on My Hero Academia season six, episode six. "Encounter, Part 2." You won't want to miss it! ​

Ooooo! I can’t wait for the next episode, All Might fought Shigaraki at one point and that was awesome to watch. I can only imagine how this upcoming battle with Endeavor will be like. It’s so hard to not like some of these villains

I finished watching the second set of 12 episodes of JoJo's Bizarre Adventures: Stone Ocean, all the way through episode 24... and let me tell you, JoJo as a series has not lost a STEP in quality. Let me talk about my favorite parts in spoilers.

Spoiler: for JJBA Stone Ocean

The fights Jolyne went through were awesome. I nearly went crazy when she said the quote about a different pose in every country to show hatred. That was an epic comeback. The fight with her and Pucci was epic as well. It's too bad Final Fantasy Foo Fighters, one of her allies, died though...

REALLY looking forward to the next episodes in Stone Ocean and the thrilling conclusion. It's going to be sad and epic at the same time (I've already been a bit spoiled on it). Until next time! Yare yare daze...​

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. I wanted to check it out at some point, so it's good to know what I'm getting into, with humor seemingly being the main focus.

I just finished Kakegurui Twin, the prequel to Kakegurui. I had some issues with Mary's character as I'm not sure how she becomes the person we first meet in Kakegurui. It feels like a complete 180 in terms of personality. There are also several characters who don't exist in Kakegurui and I wonder where they end up. But I suppose there could be more story to tell that might tie things up. If they do drop more episodes, I'll probably watch them because I still enjoy the overall premise of the show.

I tried to watch Housing Complex C for Halloween, but I just couldn't get into it at all. I only watched the first episode and stopped. It was quite honestly forgettable. I could only find the English dub available and I normally prefer to watch subs. The voice acting in the dub was so horrendous that I'm not sure if the show itself was bad or if the voice acting alone made it so painful to watch. The actors sounded like they were just reading lines. There was no fluctuation in tone, no emotion, no vocal reaction to what the other characters were saying. I don't know if I'd give the show another try if I found the sub, but the English dub is definitely not worth anybody's time even if it is only 4 episodes.

 

[Foreverfox]

Started Spy x Family and Death Note! …I feel like I might have mentioned starting Death Note, but wasn’t sure.

 

[Midoriya]

Are you ready to use your final move? Plus ULTRA!

Spoiler: for My Hero Academia S6E6

Shigaraki awakens and Endeavor quickly goes to fight him. However, Shigaraki is too powerful now for Endeavor to control, and he gets away, heading towards Deku (myself) and Bakugo. Eraser Head and the other heroes slow him down while we get away, but he catches up and almost gets me... before Gran Torino whisks myself and Bakugo away to safety. Just when everyone thinks things couldn't get much worse, a bunch of High End Nomus are released from the underground lab! Just how will the heroes deal with this AND the newly powered up Shigaraki, as well as a free Gigantomachia?

Next time on My Hero Academia season six, episode seven. "Disaster Walker." You won't want to miss it! ​

Do you all want to name an obscure anime?

I'll start with Tenjho Tenge. It's bad, but uniquely bad. Great catchy opening, gets you very interested in some characters, then sidelines those for the antagonist punk with bad hair from the first few episode. Then half the show gets eaten up by flashbacks that don't go anywhere, unless you read the manga.

I probably didn't bring this show up sooner due to cleavage and such.

I started watching Tenjho Tenge when it was new, but I don't think I ever finished it.

For obscure, how about Gunsmith Cats? I still have a beautiful Gunsmith Cats T-shirt that I love.

Spoiler: Not my shirt but identical
