The Anime Thread

[Corrie]

Yeah I never watched the show or that bit myself, but I had a friend who did. I was intrigued by the madness and had to look it up. I don't get how they could've thought that was a good idea.

It's interesting because lots of things are reanimated and redrawn so it's not just copy and paste. They put effort in, it's wild.

I saw the new Shinkai Makoto film Suzume no Tojimari film yesterday. It was good, I'd say it's better than Tenki no Ko but not as good as Kimi no Na wa. I'd give it a 7.5/10, in part because the visuals are so stunning!

The film starts off in Kyushu and seeing that kind of countryside where I used to live on the big screen was also wonderful.

Oh my gosh!!! I forgot about this release date. Thank you for posting it! I’m a big fan of Your Name, I still to this day listen to the soundtrack. I watched Weathering With You and I agree it’s not as good as Your Name. But visually every film is beautiful, just a masterpiece!

I'm glad that you're on the same page! I agree with everything you said. Here's a couple more pictures I put on my tumblr if you're interested from the theater haha:

Finally watching spy x family!! Such a cute and hilarious series so far. I cry pretty easily so it might not mean much but some episodes had me tearing up pretty badly. Always a sucker for found family plots!

I just got a new manga. It was delayed by a month and feels like it's been printed on receipt paper. I don't think I can post the name here.

Glad I'm not the only one who gets emotional with this show! Especially at the beginning with Loid adopting Anya. Got me instantly lol.

I'll pop in to talk about anime! I'm just coming off a year-long burnout and am finally willing to watch anime again. Idk if anyone here uses anilist, but I'll link to my profile here anyway, all my favorites (shows, characters, etc.) are here.

But yeah anime was essentially my only hobby 2017-2020, kinda got burned out over the last couple years and haven't watched much of anything until the last couple weeks, I'm finally starting to feel excited about anime again.

Only seasonals I'm watching now are Bocchi the Rock, Akiba Maid Wars, and Blue Lock, all of which I like at least somewhat. Love Blue Lock though, would recommend & I may even check out the manga after the show ends (even though like, I never read manga. Despite my profile pic here being from a manga lol)

lol animation is such a tedious medium. They probably felt like they were stuck in a Groundhog day.

So what am I doing today boss?
You're animating the same thing you did all last month. Isn't that exciting!
...No

"Remember that scene when they're at the festival? Well you can redraw that over and over in different frames! For 8 different episodes!" Lolol poor animators. Must have been funny for the VAs though.

Reminds me I should probably watch the second season of Spy X Family. I binged the first season and really enjoyed it. At a time, I was really looking forward for its continuation, but never got around to finishing it.

I've gotta watch it too! The dub is almost fully finished so it's safe to binge now lol

 

[nyx~]

They announced they're restarting the Toilet Bound Hanako-kun anime next year! I'm excited to see what changes take place and if it'll be in the same order as the manga this time around (I'm rly hoping for the clock keepers arc ><).

 

[Legend Of Cats]

I’m finally caught up with sky x family, it’s by far my favorite feel good anime. I’ve mostly been reading manga (romance/drama) My husband reads chainsaw man and jujutsu kaisen, everything he’s told me about the manga really is unexpected and I can’t wait to see both shows progress. I still watch MHA, I’m super invested in season 6. I just realized my favorite characters is literally Endeavor’s family… it’s hard to not like some of the villains too.

I didn't realize he had a new film out! I'll have to check it out, I loved Your Name.

I've been holding back mentioning titles that feature more jiggly subjects because this place seems like twitter sometimes, but that's a lot to ignore here.

I'd like to get someone's reaction to Basquash, but the first episode isn't on youtube anymore. Oddly this show is more popular with foot enthusiasts.

 

[Midoriya]

Don't have time to recap everything that happened in the shows I was watching, so I'll just touch on a few brief points for each.

Spoiler: MHA S6

Mirio is back!!!!! One of my favorite characters. Other than that the heroes kind of lost this battle. Interested to see where arc two takes us...

Spoiler: THE END OF MOB PSYCHO 100

I really loved the ending of Mob Psycho 100. How Reigen told Mob the truth about having lied about having psychic powers. How everyone celebrated Reigen's birthday anyway for being a great companion to Mob over time, and how Mob laughed finally in the end. Now THAT'S how you end a series.

Other than those I still need to finish JJBA: Stone Ocean. I have about 5 or 6 episodes to go. Kind of had the ending spoiled for me already though.

Beyond that... I need to catch up in Spy x Family and Made in Abyss season two.... and I'm also going to start Haikyuu! To The Top.

(Really looking forward to Fire Force season 3 and the ending of Attack on Titan as well)

 

[Mimi Cheems]

Trying my hand at watching One Piece again.

Watched the first two episodes alone, by the way (which is really hard for me to sit still BY MYSELF, to watch something).
And they were good from what I remember watching years ago! I only watched up to 60-80 episodes as a teenager before I gave up. But. I AM SO DETERMINED THIS TIME!!

I might eventually get around to watching Clannad. Everyone has told me I need to watch it ;v; If I thought Anohana was sad, everyone claims Clannad is sadder. -w-

Gotta get around to watching S2 of Demon Slayer, need to finish Chobits (manga as well). I need to watch Spy X Family, also.. ;w; So much to keep up with..

 

[spicedb]

trying to catch up with Pui Pui Morcar, Tatami Galaxy S2 and DIY! Mob Psycho pretty much consumed my brain last season so I had trouble following other shows weekly haha.

Chainsawman was….fine. I didn’t like the adaption as much as I hoped (speaking as a fan of the manga)

 

[Midoriya]

Finished JoJo's Bizarre Adventures: Stone Ocean! What a way to ring in the new year.

Spoiler: for JJBA: Stone Ocean ending

I already kind of knew that Pucci would succeed in resetting the universe, but I did NOT know that Emporio would defeat him before his Stand was complete thanks to the Weather Forecast disc. That detail was exceedingly awesome in how it played out. It's unfortunate no one from the new world except for Emporio will remember the previous universe, but it makes sense. At least Pucci finally died in the end.

I'm going to miss this JoJo universe, it truly is the end of an era.
