Black Clover episodes 75-76:
In episode 75, Magna, Sol, and Kirsch?s team faced off against the other team and won. Kirsch used his battle experience and knowledge and dare I say, beautiful magic, in order to instruct Magna and Sol on how to take out their enemies and destroy the crystal. Finral?s team faced off against the other team and won as well, and Langris?s team won too. Langris then confronted Finral with smack talk, but Finral stood up to him and stood his ground. In episode 76, we learned more about the Aqua Deer Magic Knights Captain, Rill, and how when he got his grimoire when he was younger, he gained the ability of painting magic. In battle this demonstrated that Rill is able to paint attributes of magic and send them at opponents who are weak to that attribute. Using this ability, and with the help of his two teammates, Rill?s team defeated the other team in the Royal Knights Selection Exam and destroyed their crystal. Now Luck, Klaus, and another member of the Blu Rose Magic Knights are about to face off against another team of three in the sixth match of round one of the Royal Knights Selection Exam. Looking forward to the coming episodes.
HunterxHunter episodes 39-49:
A lot happened, so I?ll talk about what I remember watching. Kurapika learned and mastered Nen from a teacher in the forest, and came up with his own unique Nen style, Chain Jail, which is where he invests a lot of Nen into chains attached to his hand in order to try and enact revenge on the Phantom Troupe. His power is further converted from a Conjurer Nen aura to a Specialist Nen aura when his eyes turn scarlet, which gives him full control over all six of the Nen types. Meanwhile, Gon and Killua were trying to find a way to raise money to buy the game Greed Island, and met up with Leorio as well. Kurapika and others were hired by a boss who has connections to the auction, in order to protect his daughter, Neon, from danger, as well as bid on the auction. Well things got intense and the Phantom Troupe dropped in on the party. As soon as the bidders at the auction, which included mafia members, waited for the speaker at the stage to appear, it was none other than someone from the Phantom Troupe, and another member from the Phantom Troupe used Nen aura bullets to kill all 500 people at the auction. Three of the bodyguards that were bidding for the Nostrade family were killed as well when trying to escape. Yet another Phantom Troupe member, Shizuku, used her Nen aura, blinky, as a vacuum to suck up all the dead bodies from the auction. Blinky cannnot suck up living things though. From there, the mafia pursued the Phantom Troupe members and arrived outside of the city at a desert battlefield. Uvogin, the strongest physically of the Phantom Troupe members, killed all the mafia members who pursued single-handedly with brute strength and a technique called Big Bang Impact where he puts Nen aura into his fist and punches the ground, releasing a giant explosion. The ten dons of the mafia then called in the Shadow Beasts, who confronted and were also killed by Uvogin. Kurapika and the other bodyguards remaining were about to leave after watching the brutality that had occurred by the Phantom Troupe, but Kurapika used his chains and took the paraylzed, poisoned Uvogin away in a car with the other bodyguards. The Phantom Troupe had a member attach a stitch needle to Uvogin using Nen aura to track Kurapika and the others who escaped. While in pursuit, Owl and the other remaining Shadow Beasts confronted the Phantom Troupe, but were killed, and Owl was captured alive by the Phantom Troupe because he knows where the treasures from the auction went. Meanwhile, the bodyguards and Kurapika returned to a building owned by the Nostrade family where Neon was, and decided on their next course of action. While Kurapika met with Hisoka at an unknown location and Hisoka, a Phantom Troupe member, offered to team up with Kurapika and exchange information, Denzollene, the leader of the bodyguards for the Nostrade family, made the mistake of telling a mafia member who was being controlled by a Phantom Troupe?s Nen where they were. He let them in through the door to where the captured Uvogin was, and was subsequently killed by a Phantom Troupe member, as they were in disguise as mafia members. The remaining bodyguards, Melody, Basho, and the others escaped quickly and told Kurapika what had happened. They worked with Neon to relocate her to a new place as she?s valuable to both the mafia and the Phantom Troupe because her Nen aura can read accurate fortunes. Kurapika stayed behind and awaited an angry Uvogin. They relocated to the desert for a battle, and it looked as though Uvogin might win, but Kurapika had thought everything through and after a fierce battle, sent a chain inside around Uvogin?s heart, asking him a question, with the condition that if he answer truthfully, he would let Uvogin live a little longer. Uvogin just said ?die, fool,? and the chain crushed his heart, with Kurapika having successfully killed one of the Phantom Troupe thief members. Kurapika buried him, and met up with Neon?s dad and the others, to be named the new top bodyguard and part of a new task force that?s set on taking care of the remaining 12 Phantom Troupe members and leader, Chrollo. Meanwhile, Gon and Killua were buying and selling stuff in the market, when they met a pro appraiser named Zepile, who decided to help them out by auctioning their items off at the auction. Gon and Killua left, and with Leorio, gained information on two of the Phantom Troupe members. Gon and Killua followed the two, but they knew they were being followed, and led Gon and Killua into a trap where they were captured. They were asked if they knew anything about the chain user, AKA Kurapika, who had defeated one of the Phantom Troupe members, Uvogin, but Gon and Killua hadn?t seen Kurapika during this time and therefore answered honestly when they didn?t know who the ?chain? user was. Now they have been taken to the Phantom Troupe?s base, supposedly to be used as bait or a bargaining chip to get Kurapika to come to the base, who Chrollo wants dead. Looking forward to binging the next episodes. And whew, didn?t think I would type that much, but I started watching more HunterxHunter lately because as I said, things got intense and the pace got faster and more interesting.

I can't believe it took this long for Gainax 2.0 to happen
(ufotable is being investigated for tax fraud. supposedly committed in much of the same way that Gainax was suspected and later found guilty of after Evangelion's explosive success in the 90's)

Such a tease!
I am currently watching Jojo's Bizarre Adventure because a friend recommended it. The story is okay, but the fights tend to be a bit too bloody for my liking.
I also just finished watching Persona 5. I really liked this one. I didn't feel like playing the game, but I felt I had to watch the anime because the artwork for this series is so pretty. That is how I pick at least half of my anime to watch. Do the characters look cool / is the artwork gorgeous?

I just finished watching the final episode of The Promised Neverland season 1. I thought it was a really surprisingly good anime. The first episode didn't rope me in as much as I would have liked, but each subsequent episode built upon the story and the characters to draw me in further. I'm now excited to see what's to come in the second season.
Wait the season is over?
As far as I know, yes. I believe it was slated for 12 episodes, which is pretty typical for a season nowadays. And episode 12 felt like a season ender, although there's definitely still story left to tell. I read that it's already been picked up for a second season in 2020.
What's gonna happen to my doctor Phil?!

Mate JoJo's is so weird, quirky and cheesy. I love it. Though the very first episode of phantom blood is a terrible introduction to the series.
No new Black Clover episode yet, but I thought I would provide a Saturday update since I?ve been watching a lot of anime lately.
I?ve been watching a ton of HunterxHunter lately and I finished the Phantom Troupe arc. I also just watched the first two episodes of the Greed Island arc.
HunterxHunter episodes 50-60:

HunterxHunter episodes 50-60:
Gon and Killua were taken to the Phantom Troupe?s base, as I previously said, and were then held in a room by Nobunaga since he wanted to recruit them, all whilst the other Troupe members went back to Yorknew City. The Phantom Troupe put on a massive show in Yorknew City by taking out thousands of mafia members as Chrollo conducted it by waving his hands in the air like it was a performance. It was a requiem for Uvogin, who had recently died due to Kurapika?s revenge. Meanwhile, back at the Phantom Troupe?s base, Gon and Killua managed to escape Nobunaga by using the side-stepping technique the appraiser, Zepile, had taught them. They dashed to the middle of the room and then ?side-stepped? and went to the opposite walls of each other, breaking through them and escaping back to Yorknew City. Zeno and Silva Zoldyck had confronted Chrollo and almost managed to kill him, but were unsuccessful. The ten dons of the mafia had been killed by Illumi, so Zeno and Silva were no longer interested in trying to kill Chrollo, the leader of the Phantom Troupe members. Then it was reported that six of the Phantom Troupe members were found dead in various places, so Kurapika went through some tough times because he thought he missed his opportunity for revenge on the Troupe. It was later revealed by Hisoka, however, that the dead bodies were fakes. Finally, Gon, Killua, Leorio, and Kurapika met up with each other and devised a plan to capture Pakunoda, one of the Phantom Troupe members, to use as a hostage. Gon and Killua ended up being captured again by Troupe members, but when the lights in the building they were in went out, Kurapika had snagged the boss, Chrollo, with his Chain Jail and was driven off by Leorio along with Melody. In the meantime, Squala had been killed by Nobunaga. Kurapika called the Troupe members who had Gon and Killua, and made a deal to return Chrollo if they returned Gon and Killua. Kurapika used his judgment chain on Pakunoda and Chrollo, so that if they tried anything funny, they would die. Gon and Killua were returned to Kurapika, Leorio, Melody, and Basho, and Hisoka was dropped off near Chrollo and Pakunoda, because he wanted to fight Chrollo. Unfortunately for him, Chrollo?s Nen was sealed thanks to Kurapika, so it wouldn?t be much of a fight. When Hisoka found that out he made an expression that was pretty hilarious. Hisoka had previously blackmailed the Troupe members when they were read their fortunes by Chrollo, by changing the fortune that he would spill their secrets when he handed the fortune to them. Thus, Hisoka was no longer a Troupe member. Pakunoda used her Nen Memory Bullets technique when returning to the Troupe members to give them all images of Kurapika, and died from the judgment chain around her heart for having used her Nen. Kurapika had a fever after everything that happened and was out for two days, and in the meantime Gon and Killua tried out for a screening by a wealthy businessman that was looking for experienced pro hunters who can use Nen to play the Greed Island game. Gon and Killua developed their own special Nen powers, with Killua?s being the ability to manifest electricity, and Gon being able to increase his power substantially into his fists as an Enhancer. Now Gon, Killua, and 19 others were selected by the wealthy businessman to enter the game, and Gon and Killua are just now entering the game Greed Island, where you die in real life if you die in the game, thus starting the Greed Island arc. Looking forward to binging the next episodes.

Phantom Blood is great, it's just nowhere near the level of weird wackiness of the rest of Jojo.
Oh, and the anime is missing the mask origin which was pretty cool...It was even in the 90's Stardust Crusaders OVA but strangely not in the way more accurate to the source 2000's anime.
Finally just finished Hunter x Hunter. I'd go back to finish One piece but I really don't want to do it. I'm somewhere in the 800s episodes and I'm really bored of it. Does anyone have any good investment animes suggestions?
ps. there's a 90% chance I've seen it already...

I've actually seen an anime about investing, kind of. Going into some demon world and fighting for financial stuff. Can't remember at the moment. I look through some playlists.
Simular to C control? Btw I didnt mean I want a show about investments. I need a show inwhich I can invest in.

I know, I just thought it was funny. Found an episode on Funimation's official channel upped back in 2012.
The old Nadia the Secret of Blue Water has 39 eps and a movie. Some Gainax can be an acquired taste apparently. I quite like Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi.
That's pretty cool funimations got those episode up on youtube. Thanks for the recommendation but Iv watched all of C Control already.

Lol Im about 4 or 5 episodes in to jojo (can’t remember, it’s been a while) honestly I’ve never been so gripped and invested in a story than I was the first two episodes of that. It’s insane and completely idiotic but in the best possible way and I think I love it
