Just watched the Attack on Titan finale and... wow. I already knew what was going to happen because I've read the entire manga, but it's always a different experience taking in the story as an animation. The Attack on Titan series has meant so much to me for so long. Watching the end like that is a bittersweet feeling. What a journey.

I also watched the Attack on Titan finale. I'm still processing my thoughts and feelings, but it most certainly has been a journey.

Since Attack on Titan is finally complete, I started watching it. It's about time...

Currently I'm on episode 4 of Season 1, because.. I've never really seen it >_> And what I have seen.. was about 10 years ago, when it first started airing. I would have been 12. Anyways, my favorite still stands since I was 12. Armin Arlert. However.. I also really REALLY like Mikasa. From what I've seen, and how she looks after Eren.. I relate to her a lot, honestly. ;w; I can't wait to keep watching more!

It's my boyfriends favorite anime, so I felt like I was missing out.. Of course I had to start watching!

Anyways, I'll be back with more updates!

 

[nyx~]

I watched the Attack on Titan finale last night...and I was not expecting it to hit me in the feels that much LOL. It will be weird not waiting for what at one point felt like infinite new parts of their story, but I am happy with how it ended.

Other than that, I finished season one of Noragami and I really enjoyed it! I planned to start Link Click after finishing it, so I'll be back for season two when I finish that for sure. As for airing stuff I've been watching Jujutsu Kaisen, Spy x Family, After School Hanako-kun, and Tokyo Revengers. It seems like a lot but it's like 4 episodes a week so I somehow stay on track haha. I've read the manga for the latter three so it's always fun seeing stuff I read a while ago animated.

Want magical anime transformation sequences? of course you do, you wouldn't really be browsing this thread if you didn't like anime!

 

[Croconaw]

I'm up to episode 40 on Eyeshield 21 as of this post. I put other anime on hold to focus on this one. It sucks that they have little to no merch for the more obscure anime.

 

[amemome]

I'm watching New Game!

I think it's ok so far... am hoping for some feel-hood stuff!

 

[ShinyDungeoneer]

i was browsing youtube looking for more precure stuff, and this showed up in my recommended:

it's really good! would recommend listening to!

So much has happened in Episodes 5 and 6 of Attack on Titan S1..

It's nice to learn more about Mikasa's backstory, as I genuinely wondered why her and Eren lived together, knowing they weren't related. I think Episode 5 dragged on a lot for me because SO much was going on. It felt like I had been sitting there for at least an hour thinking 'when is this going to end?!', the suspense was killing me

Spoiler: Episode 5 S1

When Eren came to save Armin from that super fast Titan that runs weird (I forget what they're called, and to avoid spoiling myself on anything, I'm not looking it up LOL).. I wanted to scream, cry, and cuss all at once. Eren's 'I can't die here' quote was super moving, but then proceeded to get EATEN?! Like what was the point? I just know Mikasa isn't gonna be happy with that when she finds out, lol. But I know Eren doesn't die THAT fast into the anime, he's literally the main character of the entire thing? I was still on the edge of my seat the entire time. I love Armin but the way he shut down after seeing Eren lose part of his leg and all of his friends get devoured, it kind of annoyed me.. But I understand why he did that. He's just scared... I would be too, honestly. I relate to Armin a lot, I know not a whole lot of people liked him in the beginning, but he's always been my favorite lil dude.

I had an idea of watching one episode of a comforting/feel-good anime for every 10 episodes of Attack on Titan I watch. But I have no idea what I'd like to watch with it, lol. I think if I just sat and watched the entirety of the series without something happy to watch along with it, I'd just get super depressed.

I'm watching New Game!

I think it's ok so far... am hoping for some feel-hood stuff!

It took me a bit to get into it but now I love the series lol. The first few episodes are just eh, they all act like moe idiots tbh and it bothered me but it got better the more you go along in. I especially liked the second season. Lots more development happens there.

 

[Mimi Cheems]

All caught up on Tokyo Revengers so far with @nyx~ !

Spoiler: Season 2 Part 2 Spoilers

Honestly, wasn't expecting Emma to die.. but like, once the foreshadowing came I kinda knew it was bound to happen. :^/

Seeing Mikey's reaction and overall mood in the last few episodes was really heartbreaking. I love Mikey so so much, seeing him so distraught and.. numb.. It hurt a lot. Broke my heart right in half ;-;
This makes me hate Kisaki even more tbh I'm really praying he gets a redemption arc of some kind, where he's actually A GOOD PERSON. But I am also highly doubtful, lol.

O.K., so I watched the Attack on Titan finale part 2 around a week ago, and here are my thoughts from it:

Spoiler: AoT spoilers

I thought the ending was done pretty well. I didn't like it at first because it was depressing, but I talked with another friend about it off-site, and I guess I shouldn't have expected anything other than a depressing ending, lol. I thought the way the one person we THOUGHT couldn't do it, Mikasa, ended up killing Eren in his Founder Titan form was beautiful. But the fact that 80% of the population perished was disappointing to me, although I guess that's also to be expected given the odds they were up against. All in all I do like how they ended the series, because for a series that pretty much mirrors real life, it makes sense that there's always going to be conflict. It's just human nature to fight and kill each other, sadly.

I do have to wonder how the talks with the Paradis Islanders went, but oh well. At least everyone fulfilled their duty in the end to stop the ENTIRE population of the world from being wiped out. It is pretty sad that Eren thought this was the only way, but I mean, that could happen to anyone. As said in ATLA, "anyone is capable of great good or great evil."

It's sad knowing there won't be any more, but it truly was and is a legendary series at this point. RIP Eren Jaeger.

Spoiler: Jujutsu Kaisen s2 spoilers don’t click if u don’t want to be spoiled

I was randomly scrolling the internet earlier and saw the spoiler that Nanami dies. :| Time to cross JJK off my list of stuff I care about watching.

Get ready for some sorcery! Jujutsu Kaisen season two is here!

Spoiler: for JJK S2E17, Thunderclap Part Two

As Megumi is about to be killed by the assailant, he unleashes a ritual that binds them both. If it is completed, Megumi will die and so will the assailant, but if anyone kills Mahoraga which the ritual summoned, the ritual will be void and Megumi will live. Not wanting to let Megumi die, Sukuna inside Itadori's body intervenes and uses the full extent of his technique plus his Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine, all in order to destroy a large part of the city and Mahoraga as well. Sukuna then releases himself from Itadori's body to show him the devastation he caused while being possessed. Itadori throws up on the side of the road in shock. Meanwhile, the barrier around where Gojo is is still active, but a half-alive and burnt Nanami is slowly walking forward... just what will happen next?

Next time on Jujutsu Kaisen season two, episode eighteen. "Right and Wrong." You won't want to miss it!
