I'm watching Baka and Test.
*raises hand*
Two of my favorite characters from Attack on Titan: Mikasa and Levi.
Just another day for the survey corp!
Anyways, is it me or does the current season of anime airing just suck? Unless you're a die-hard Fruit basket fan, chances are, you're like me with nothing good to watch. I mean, Demon Slayer is probably the single best show of the season but that's just one anime. How did this happen after the last few seasons were just so amazing? It's not hard to notice that most anime discourse usually stems from fans discussing sessional anime because everyone can relate. Since most of us have watched a great many animes on our own, it can be hard for us to discuss one thing knowing that someone hasn't seen something yet.

Oyasumi.
I am as well. Season 3 Part 2 is pretty fantastic so far (although idk why they can't just call it Season 4 but whatever) and it's easily my favorite anime of the season. Unfortunately, like Excalibur said, this current season is quite underwhelming. Not like it matters to me because I can go back and watch a ton of old stuff I missed, but I do wish there was more good shows airing this Spring to talk about.
Yep, I am! I used to wait until the season aired and then watch it so I didn't have to wait a whole week between episodes, but I'm following the current episodes weekly. It was just too much trouble trying to avoid spoilers.
Like Excaliber said, there's not a whole lot of current anime this season that I'm watching. Attack on Titan and Fruits Basket are the highlights I guess.

Yeah, I try to stay current with AoT cuz i know how people like to spoil. Especially since I believe big things are gonna happen this season. I'd hate for any of it to be ruined.
Also, what is this Fruits Basket I keep hearing about? I'm not a huge anime fan so I don't know anything lol. But I'm looking for a new show to binge. Hopefully a fully completed one
Congratulations.
Happy 1st year anniversary to The Anime Thread!
As of this day, 05/09/2019, it has officially been one year since The Anime Thread on TBT was created. I just wanted to thank everyone for their interest in anime and the thread, and for posting in the thread. Also, a special thanks to NoUsernameHere, Excalibur, and Krefails for the renewed interest in anime on TBT and for founding and running The Anime Degenerates Association Discord server. From the bottom of my heart, thank you everyone.
Didn't really notice that it has been that long since this thread has been created. I only watched season one of the anime. Haven't kept up with it after finishing watching the English sub of it. I had a lot of anime to watch back then. That's probably why I haven't been watching the other seasons. I still got a lot of anime to watch and I am also trying to get back into Asian Dramas as well.
Fruits Basket is about an orphaned girl who befriends a family that is 'cursed' by the Chinese Zodiac. Whenever a member of this family is hugged by someone of the opposite gender, they transform into the Zodiac animal that they represent. Of course, this leads to many funny and quirky situations. But as the anime continues, the tone becomes a bit more serious as you learn about how the curse has negatively impacted this family's lives.
The original anime aired in 2001, but it did not cover the complete story from the manga and you don't get to meet all of the Zodiac members.
The remake is airing now and it's supposed to be more faithful to the manga.
While it's not my favorite anime, I did enjoy the original and I'm watching the remake because I never read the manga and I want to see how the full story goes along with meeting the additional characters.

Ooh! That sounds really cute. Maybe I'll wait for it to be a completed series though. Cuz if they never finish it, ill be so disappointed. I watched a few animes that never finished

Both versions?

never bothered with fruits basket myself, but you should be safe here, barring any freak production accidents. since something like hunterxhunter anime isn't properly finished (well it is from a planned production standpoint, but not so much a conclusive ending one obviously), as the manga is still ongoing. meanwhile, the fruits basket manga concluded well over a decade ago already, so they'd certainly have all the basic groundwork for the new anime laid out from the start

Do you think that I should watch the original first? How many seasons are there for the remake? I'm very interested in this

I mean I'm certainly not the person to ask about this, but I don't see any harm in seeing what a sort of anime-original take was like. could allow for interesting comparison/contrasting cases
also, I don't see anything on an episode count for the remake, but perhaps someone familiar with the manga could give a rough ballpark estimate based on the current pacing of episodes aired thus far
(my personal guess though for 23 volumes would hit about the 4-5 cour range)

I have only watched the second version. Do they have drastic difference between the two besides the obvious art/sound?

The original only adapted the first couple volumes, and thus when they made an ending for it it wound up being pretty different from how the manga itself ended. I’ve only ever watched a couple episodes of the original, partly because I knew that it was so different from the manga, but what I watched was pretty fun. I think the animation of the new series is really good, though, and they seem to be trying to stick pretty faithfully to the manga. I’ve only watched the first episode so far, though, so something might have changed lol.
Personally, I would say that if you have access to the manga and like to read manga to read that over watching the original anime. But I tend to prefer the manga to the anime, so it’s up to you.
Haven't posted my progress with the all the anime that I am currently watching. I'll probably post my thoughts about them whenever I got the time to do so. Currently making some time for Asian Dramas and IRL stuff.
