The Anime Thread

Took a break from HunterxHunter because it’s such a long series, and I watched the most recent episode of Black Clover and all of Akame ga Kill as well.

Black Clover episode 84:

Yuno, Noelle, and En’s team faced off against Rill Boismortier’s team in the final battle of the Royal Knights Selection Exam tournament. Noelle and En protected the crystal from the other two enemies thanks to Noelle’s Sea Dragon’s Cradle, and Yuno fought Rill Boismortier, the Captain of the Aqua Deer Magic Knights head on with fierce wind magic. A lot of aerial combat took place and Yuno and Rill fought each other with interesting wind magic and painting magic spells, respectively. In the end, Yuno was forced to use his wind spirit magic and was able to combine with it to launch a ferocious wind magic spell of light that clashed with Rill Boismortier’s ultimate painting magic spell. The mana levels were off the charts. In the end, unfortunately, Rill Boismortier ended up getting so fired up and using up so much magic that some of it affected his crystal and it broke. Yuno, Noelle, and En won the tournament, but more Magic Knights will be selected as Royal Knights later. Asta felt bad after ending his battle with Langris in a draw, and vowed to catch up to Yuno. Lastly, as Zora Ideale was leaving, the Wizard King confronted him and asked him to join them as a Magic Knight, talking about how he knew Zora’s father and relating to his past. When told his name, Zora just laughed and walked away saying, “Zora Ideale? I don’t know who that jerk is.” Overall, the Royal Knights Selection Exam tournament arc was a lot of fun and interesting, and helped display a lot of cool new magic spells. I don’t know when the next arc will start, but I’m definitely looking forward to it.

Akame ga Kill! Episodes 1-24:

I don’t have enough of a word count available in one post to recount all of what I watched, but I’ll just repost this review I made with slight modifications.

Normally I don’t watch anime shows that are bad, but Akame ga Kill fits the genres I like. It was enjoyable, but there were a lot of things left unexplained and there’s also a lot of death and gore, so be prepared for that if you’re going to watch it. It has its moments, but overall the series isn’t that great. If you’re wanting to experience Akame ga Kill, I suggest reading the manga instead. I give this one a 4/10

I plan on taking a break from watching anime for awhile and focusing on other things. When I resume though, I’ll begin the Chimera Ant arc of HunterxHunter. :)

I remember that being on Toonami with the end of the Alabasta arc of 4kids One Piece and Zatch bell. I don't think we ever got the end of Zatch Bell over here.

Man, I remember when I was 9 I was absolutely obsessed with Zatch Bell. I even named my ACWW town Zatch lmao. Last memory was their battle at some castle. Can’t believe they stopped Tanumi just like that :/

Zatch Bell... :0 Those bring back memories. I always wanted Kiyo and Megumi to be couple when I watched this anime. Remembered this one song in the English Dub of the anime that would be stuck in my head. I'll share the song down below. Can't help laughing a little when I listen to it.

Bunny Girl senpai is on hold until my brother wants to finally start. In the mean time, ive been watching Engaged to the Unidentified. So far so good, first few episode hooked me in fast :)
 
I've started watching Your Lie In April and oh my gosh, I'm in LOVE. I've just finished episode 8 and I already feel like this is going to end up as one of my favourite anime ever.
 
I've always found it weird that almost everyone enjoys Your Lie in April but I thought it was complete trash.

I’m not on either side of whether it’s good or not because I haven’t watched it, but I must ask, why do you think it’s complete trash?

  1. This one really depends on the person watching it. The artist tried going for a realism style and it just looked horrible. One example would be that characters were given lips that looked like the duck faces on Instagram. Most shots required so much work to animate, it became a slideshow.
  2. The writing was just plain awful. The show should have been titled "Monologues the anime" more than half of the talking in the show happens in the main characters head. It also never felt right with characters that are freaking 14 talking with such flowery dialogue as they do in the show. I was never able to relate to anyone because they all seemed so out of place.
  3. Characters were too one dimensional making them just walking cliches. I wasn't able to fully immerse myself with a specific character because they all were defined by one characteristic. What's funny is, I started to dislike most of the cast because of this issue.

Haven't watched the show in like a year so please forgive me for the shortlist. These are just the things that quickly come to mind when thinking about it. I do remember watching some bits with my sister and she told me that she sees those exact same problems so I knew I wasn't just going insane.

Interesting. I’ll have to watch a couple episodes to see what’s up. I’m sure if the things you described make it bad enough, it will be noticeable. Thanks for explaining everything. :)
 
one punch man season two is pretty good aswell as attack on titan and still currently watching hunter x hunter
 
Watched the most recent episode of Black Clover.

Black Clover episode 85:

This was mostly a filler/backstory episode. Asta was totally out of it after having lost in the Royal Knights Selection Exam, and Yuno having won the tournament with Noelle and En. He wouldn’t respond or anything at first. Then the Black Bull squad members tried cheering him up, and finally Captain Yami shared a story with them all in the hot springs bath about the time he first fought alongside Captain William Vengeance of the Golden Dawn Magic Knight squad. It was alright for a slower-paced episode after the fast-paced tournament arc that just concluded. Looking forward to watching the next episodes

I haven’t started the Chimera Ant arc of HunterxHunter yet, but once I do I’ll make sure to post my thoughts about it here. :)
 
I just finished watching My Roommate is a Cat. I powered through the last 3 episodes today. The last 2 in particular I had to watch back to back because of how episode 11 left off. I really liked the series. It told a good story that was at times cute and at other times tugged at my heart. Plus, I thought it wrapped up nicely. On top of that, I could honestly relate to the main character. So I would recommend this anime.

I think I'm going to start watching Emma: A Victorian Romance next. It's been in my queue for a while now, but other things always took priority over it. I haven't heard much about this anime. Nobody really talks about, but it looks like a story I would enjoy so I'm going to give it a chance. Sometimes, it's nice to watch something nobody's paying attention to and maybe find a gem.
