I saw the Attack on Titan movie which also included showing us episode 1 of season 3 but I'm very excited for it to be back. It's definitely one of my favorite ones to watch. I've been meaning to read the manga for such a long time but I'm terrible with keeping up with manga.
I’ve only seen random episodes of AoT, but it’s definitely on my bucket list to watch. I’m glad that it’s still going, but also curious about the new direction they are heading with it. I’m still making my way through DBS and have other shows on my bucket list, but I’m sure I’ll watch it at some point.

The first season of Attack on Titan was pretty good. I watched part of the second season, got busy, and haven't picked it back up since.
I really like the mysteries in the show, but I kinda worry that it's going to go the way of Lost (the American TV show). Meaning introducing lots of mysteries and never really solving a lot of them. I felt pretty burned by Lost and I kinda worry that AoT is going to do that too.
I haven't been watching much anime lately. Been super busy with other things. The most recent anime I have seen is I watched about half of Danganronpa 3, but I dropped it because it was starting to feel boring.

I was watching anime episodes randomly on Toonami last night, and noticed that the Black Clover episode I was watching seemed pretty good. Does anyone know how good Black Clover is as an anime? I like that it’s fairly recent (it premiered last year I’m pretty sure), and the premise and everything also seems pretty interesting.

I've never watched Black Clover, but I *may* give it a shot just to see if it's something I enjoy.
Also, has anyone here watched the new SAO spin-off Sword Art Online Alternative? I was thinking of checking that out just because it's short and I've heard it's way better than the actual SAO.

I just finished watching today’s episode of My Hero Academia.
EDIT:
I’m also at around episode 92 of Dragon Ball Super.
It’s cool how we are now given a look at a lot of the other academies’ heroes’ quirks, and also interesting how that one guy split everyone up from U.A. with one move. The bit at the end with Todoroki having to face 10 ninjas is really cool too. I’m just hoping Izuku Midoriya makes it into the next round, because otherwise that’s going to be really sad.... lol
EDIT:
I forgot to mention that that one girl stalking and messing with Izuku was pretty hilarious. I’m glad that he was able to escape though with Uraraka’s and Hanta Sero’s help
I’m also at around episode 92 of Dragon Ball Super.
Majin Buu is missing and so they have to wake him up to have ten full members for the Tournament of Power, which is about to start I’m guessing. I’m hoping there’s more serious fight scenes from here on out, since that’s the only thing I watch DBS for. Lol

*~Rude intolerance here~*
For some backwards reason I never saw or read rouruni kenshin when I was a kid. I've been reading the manga lately, and learned that the artist is actually not only adding more to the story, (yay!), but had some...awful stuff found on his computer hard drive. I love Kenshin. He's a cool character. here's a couple of long lists for things I enjoy and hope others will watch or read at some point
My top picks for anime:
Cowboy bebop, samurai champloo, puella magi magica madoka, dn angel (guilty pleasure I'm NOT sorry, as far as I know the manga is not finished), Mononoke (NOT princess mononoke although that's a great movie and you should watch that too), mushi shi, please teacher, princess jellyfish, ah! my goddess, burst angel is good to me in a really cheesy sort of way but LOTS of boobage going on in that show so beware if you don't like that, elfen lied, full metal panic!, Inuyasha (NOT SORRY), Mad Bull and YOU HAVE TO WATCH THE WHOLE THING trust me, Love Hina, uuuuuhh...I'll think of more later
Top manga picks:
Bride of the Water God, Rouruni Kenshin, Kamichama Karin (another guilty pleasure but the sequel series sucked), anything done by the artist Motoi Yoshida but if you read his stuff beware of perverted nonsense, 7 Seeds and anything else done by the artist yumi tamrua, anything done by clamp, because if you don't like the story you'll like the art, peach girl (good god don't watch the anime it doesn't do the manga justice), sacrificial princess to the king of beasts, ouran host club, (the anime doesn't do the manga justice even though the anime is pretty good too), strobe edge, kodocha, chobits, planet ladder which isn't well known and I have no idea why, kamisama kiss, I have a HUGE guilty pleasure for Dragon knights, Anatolia story is AMAZING and I have been wishing it were a well adapted anime but all we have is the manga.....um, I could keep going when it comes to manga lol I literally read it during my down time.

I'm gonna be sad if any of Class 1-A doesn't make it out of the first round, to be honest. I mean they probably will because plot armor, but that hasn't stopped, say, Midoriya from losing the UA Festival before. Plus this is more important than the UA Festival. This is kind of essentially the first major step towards becoming a licensed Hero. Although if anyone failed it certainly wouldn't be the last time we'd see them in the story more than likely, and we will likely see the deaths of some Class 1-A students along the way, it would just be sad or somewhat disappointing at the very least to me personally at least because I want to see all the class members of 1-A succeed.
Yeah, I get that feeling. To me personally though, it doesn’t feel like all 20 of them have what it takes though to pass the first time through. I mean, 54 or so students have already passed after that episode, and this is bigger than just the Sports Festival where they faced other classes, now they are facing the best from other schools. I would be a tad upset if all 20 of them just happen to make it through though. At the very least, they could all make it through, and then not all of them make it through round two. I want Izuku to make it through all the way though...

That's true. You're right, and perhaps I shouldn't worry because any students that don't pass this time will most likely get a chance to try again in the future anyway, unless there's something I'm missing (considering most of everyone from the rest of the schools are Year 2 students iirc). Plus, I suppose if everyone passed, it not only would be predictable, but it would remove/nullify all of the suspense for this arc and even possibly remove/nullify some of the suspense going into future arcs. As for their abilities, you're totally right about that because I'm now remembering the last stretch of Season 2 where not everyone passed the final Exam. So some characters just aren't qualified enough to win here, and that's fine because they'll at least have a chance to grow later on and learn. The more I think about it, the better I would feel about not everyone passing.

Oh we are having a boku no hero discussion? nice^^
I will stay out of this mostly since I?m afraid of spoiling you guys since you seem anime-only while I?m mostly manga-only. To answer your doubts based on what you should know already: I haven?t seen how they showed that part in the anime but they should have made clear that the students being there is an exception because of the dangerous times at the moment. The other school?s teachers probably thought the same and that?s why you see a lot of younger students. I don?t know if you can try as often as you like but the exam is not a one-try only thing. I believe UA wouldn?t send their students to a test early, if they could loose the chance to get the license when failing. They aren?t considered "properly" prepared for that, the school just put them in the exam with the hope that some members of the class could pass and have more means to defend themselves/learn about hero work earlier.

Oh well yeah, they made it pretty clear that the UA students are only there because of the dangerous times. But I didn't know if the test was like a one time only thing, so thanks for clearing that up. Now everything makes perfect sense though. Also, I was thinking of potentially reading the manga, but I dunno if I'll do that yet as I tend to prefer watching the anime adaption.

glad I could help, I will try to avoid any hints to future events when posting here^^ll
Just like most people, I often get into a show when watching the anime. If I like the anime a lot and don?t want to wait I start reading the manga. If season 3 ends and you want more you could start reading it. The parts of the anime I have seen were really faithful to the manga, usually adapting around 2 chapters per episode and sometimes adding extra content
e.g. when they started the training camp and you saw everyone fighting the dirt-monsters in the forest. In the manga that was just a few short panels while in the anime the chose to give attention to all students
Fun fact if you didn?t already hear: someone recently bought one acre of the moon for Horikoshi and named it after bakugou...

my favourite anime will always be black butler, aaa it's so amazing
i also have a big love for attack on titan, my hero academia and blue exorcist
So I’ve made it to around episode 101 of DBS.
The dark, twisted side of me liked watching universe nine get erased. Like yeah, if you’re not going to put in the effort to have strong, fit warriors, then you deserve to get erased, lmao. Aside from that, I was kind of surprised to see Krillin get knocked off as the first member of universe seven to get knocked off. Like, I would have expected either Master Roshi or Piccolo to go first, but it was Krillin this time. Lmao. I’m looking forward to the last 30 episodes of this anime and what it has in store now.
So, I watched yesterday’s episode of MHA yesterday.
I also have made it to around episode 108 of DBS, and now that I’m so close to the end, it’s hard to stop watching episodes.
It was nice seeing how some of the other students passed, and I like how Todoroki got out of a tough spot by using the factory, a.k.a. his surroundings. It looks like Izuku, Uraraka, and Hanta Sero are still in trouble though and haven’t passed, but I think they will be fine. Bakugou and his two followers look like they are doing well against a tough opponent as well. I really hope this doesn’t mean all 20 students of Class 1-A pass the first test though. That would be awesome, but also somewhat disappointing, imo.

Oh boy, so a whole lot of stuff happened. Universe 10 was the second universe to be erased, a LOT of opponents from other universes dropped out, and Tien and Master Roshi dropped out from universe seven, so now they only have seven left. It’s getting difficult to see how universe seven is going to pull through with both universe six and the three, strong warriors from universe eleven left (totally ignoring the warriors that are left from other universes atm), but then again, I haven’t seen Goku transform into Ultra Instinct yet. It seems like there will still be other transformations than that, or at least I’m hoping, because otherwise that’s one really OP ability if it can just carry them like that. Oh, I also heard about Vegeta’s Super-Saiyan-beyond-blue, so I’m eager to see that as well.
