Late to the discussion but the One Piece anime is bad because they fill it with so many still images just panning or shaking to make it last longer. I get it's a weekly show so the budget for each episode is less, but the animation quality ain't great
They also add unnecessary filler so one manga chapter will be like 2 episodes when it really doesn't need to be at all.

I mean, if you haven't watched or read any of it then yeah. If you've watched some just start from where you're at lol
Mostly on Crunchyroll, but occasionally on Netflix or Hulu if they have a title I want to watch that's not available on Crunchyroll.
Yeah, VRV and Crunchyroll for me as well.
Anyway, it’s been too long (around 12 days), but here’s a small update on the anime I’ve been watching. I caught up to the latest Black Clover episode and also watched a couple more episodes of the HunterxHunter Greed Island arc.
Black Clover episodes 77-78:
Luck and Klaus’s team won their battle in the Royal Knights Selection Exam, and then Noelle, Yuno, and En faced off against Solid Silva’s team in the next round. Yuno defeated an opponent who used earth magic and was jealous of him for having stolen the attention of Captain William Vangeance. He did so by not using any of his spirit magic, but simply whipping up a tornado spell inside the guy’s ultimate earth attack and defense spell. Noelle Silva confronted Solid Silva, her older brother, and defeated him using a new spell, Sea Dragon’s Roar, which had way more attack power than Solid’s Sea Serpent spell. The resulting explosion also ended up destroying the crystal, and Noelle’s team won the battle. In the most recent episode, stage two of the exam began, and Asta, Mimosa, and Zora faced off against Kirsch, Magna, and Sol’s team. Kirsch used his cherry blossom magic to cover the entire arena in cherry blossoms, but Asta concentrated and unleashed dark anti-magic from within his sword into himself and used a new anti-magic spell, Black Hurricane, to clear the arena of the cherry blossoms. Unfortunately, this also set off and destroyed the trap spells that Zora had laid out, so the three had to come up with a new plan to take down Kirsch’s team’s crystal. They started the plan by setting three basic trap spells near a cave and having Asta lure Kirsch in. Kirsch figured out where the trap spells set by Zora were and used clones to set them off, but made the mistake of cornering Asta and falling into a regular, old pitfall Asta’s team had dug up that Kirsch couldn’t sense. Then Asta jumped in with his anti-magic swords and knocked Kirsch unconscious. Now the team is focused on trying to destroy the crystal. Looking forward to the coming episodes.
HunterxHunter episodes 61-63:
Gon and Killua entered the Greed Island game, as previously said, and found a group of guys who were talking about banding together to clear the game. Gon refused to join them, however, and left with Killua. However, they were followed by Biscuit Krueger, a grandmaster Nen user, who caught up with them and convinced them to let her teach them the ways of Nen. Although she looks really young, she remarked that she had 40 years of experience ahead of Gon and Killua, and was Wing’s master as well, making her Gon and Killua’s grandmaster. It was difficult, but slowly and surely Gon and Killua began improving their Nen specialties and uses with Biscuit’s help. They were followed by a murderer, and Biscuit knocked him out. They then set up a game where Gon and Killua were placed in a lowered area filled with rocks with the murderer, and had to survive and defeat him by improving their Nen even more. They eventually got too strong for him, and knocked him out after awhile. He was then showed mercy and was allowed to leave, saying he would turn himself in because all he had ever wanted was for someone to thank him and show him mercy like Gon did. Now Gon and Killua are working on shoveling a way to the city of magic, Masadora, using their Nen abilities on the shovels. Looking forward to binging the next episodes.
Will continue to watch the rest of the Greed Island arc when I have more time to do so.

To be fair, still images where at best they just shake the camera a bit is done in 99% of anime for 90% of the episode. Commonly if you remove lip flaps then the scene suddenly becomes a still image. One Piece just makes it so damn obvious, lingering on those images more than usual and often reusing the same image in such an obvious way.
As far as I'm aware I've heard it's one chapter per episode with One Piece, which is still ridiculous considering [good] anime typically tend to adapt about 3 or 4 typical length chapters.
Regardless, One Piece anime is still bad and it's a disservice to watch that over reading the manga.
On totally legitimate websites that are definitely 100% legal.
But nawh, I tend to buy the bluray or DVD of series I actually enjoy, so I don't feel that bad about watching 'free' versions.
I always have various issues the few times I've tried to watch for free legitimately on sites like Crunchyroll or Funimation, and if these official sources can't give me a service that other sites will provide a better version of for free + ad free, I'm going to go there...Yano, the piracy argument, "people will pay for entertainment if you make the service convenient to do so".
update: amount involved estimated to be around ￥400m, with misappropriation of earthquake charity donations also being suspected

it's a huge shame too, since there's actually clearly a plethora of talent involved with the production, that could be allowed to shine if only toei would put the show on hold
but of course since it's consistently strong in the viewer ratings+an adaption of the biggest manga in japan currently, they won't
there's minor changes here and there, but nothing drastic enough it should affect your experience
that said, I'd still say to start from the beginning, since it is just that damn good
my internet is so bad that nowhere currently
though if it wasn't, then crunchyroll if they have it, torrent otherwise. unless it's a show I feel safe enough for importing blind
maybe occasionally get the domestic bd/dvd release, but that's dropped super heavily as of late
I mean I really don't care about how people watch stuff, but seriously just torrent the ****
no need to deal with sketchy malware and other **** piracy sites tend to have+nobody getting paid for streaming stolen content
highly recommend carnival phantasm whenever you wrap up with unlimited blade works (and possibly heaven's feel too, whenever that trilogy finishes, though I don't recall as many gags in reference to it specifically), even though any of the non-fate skits would probably go over your head
also, today's menu for the emiya family (fate/cooking) is a nice relaxing spinoff made by the same production studio involved with fate/zero, unlimited blade works (tv), and the heaven's feel films
and if you're interested in earlier nasuverse works, I honestly can't recommend the garden of sinners films enough. again, made by the same production studio. keep in mind though it does get super dark, with some pretty heavy themes throughout, grisly murders, and on-screen rape in the third film. also, there's this one character who has the thing of wanting to hook up with her brother (it never goes anywhere, don't worry)
as a bonus too, not anime, and features some super heavy spoilers for fate/stay night, but I'd also highly reccomend the garden of avalon cd drama, if you're interested in the nasuverse's take on the arthurian legends. keep in mind though, that the translation is super wonky, unfortunately

I’ve just watched the first episode of the Fruits Basket reboot and I absolutely loved it! The series is very special to me as it’s what got me into anime and manga over a decade ago and I’m so glad the reboot is doing the original justice. <3

I just watched it as well! It was my first manga too, and rereading it and watching it lately has been a trip down memory lane haha.
I thought the animation was pretty, and aside from some stylistic choices (the smoke clouds when they transform weren't my cup of tea), I really enjoyed it.
I also appreciated their bringing flashbacks of the original gathering to the beginning of the story, it works as good foreshadowing.
Not yet, but I’ll make sure to add it to my backlog of anime to watch. It looks really interesting for sure!

Oyasumi.
Finally got around to watching Episode 1 of One Punch Man Season 2 last night. I do think people overreacted about the drop in animation quality, it's noticeable but it isn't that bad, at least not imo. As long as the writing and humor continues to be just as good as it was in Season 1 (judging from the first episode, I'd say both the writing and humor are still up to par), I think this'll still be one of the best anime of this Spring.
Reminds me I still need to start and watch the first season of One Punch Man and catch up, lmao. It’s honestly a crime that I haven’t seen this anime by now. I have so much to look forward to watching now, lmao. Demon Slayer, One Punch Man, and the several gundam anime shows that KnoxUK recommended me. Plus, there’s other shows I want to go back and watch from the past like Trigun. Safe to say that my backlog is full for now, especially since I still haven’t finished HunterxHunter.
