i just watched the attack on titan trailer and im shook

I just watched it too. Can't wait for the final season!

I’ve watched all four seasons of the sub of My Hero Academia in the past, so I’ve been blasting my way through all four seasons of the English dub and I’m currently already on season four after just a week or two. Have to say it has been fun and really helped me rediscover what happened and any important details I missed. Not going to recap it since I already did for the sub many pages back, but yeah.

Also, once I finish this I’ll be catching up on Tower of God and posting a recap here once I do. Then I’ll be starting Mob Psycho to see what’s so great about it. ^^

Tower of God ended up being better than I had imagined, I wouldn't say it's the best show ever (my opinion) but I think it's definitely worth a watch. I LOVE Mob Psycho 100, but this comes from a person who didn't binge watch it, I patiently waited for a new episode each week, so it definitely kept the excitement going!

My boyfriend and I are watching clannad atm, on season 2, we’re just watching it to find out what’s the big dealio about it, personally from what I’ve watched so far, I don’t get it but it’s funny at times. The girls cringe me out so much and now I’ve been finding myself humming the OP of the second season often AAAHHH

I watched Clannad + Clannad After Story when I was quite young, so the second season really got me feeling *emotional*.

I have no clue, it's been soooo long lol I just remember the tears running down my face as a kid, and attempting to sing along "dango, dango ,daikazoku"

Was that just a movie? Or was there a show as well?

was just the movie, haha. I went to go see a screening of it with a couple friends when it came out.
had to spend a solid ten minutes bawling my eyes out in the car afterwards before I could drive again LOL

I know this is going to sound weird, just hear me out, but it's good to know! I haven't seen it, but I looked it up after you mentioned it and the poster looks really pretty. I've actually been searching for a good tearjerker and if you had to wait to calm down before driving off, this might be what I've been looking for!

Maquia was really good and I highly recommend it! It does feel a little rushed at times but thats inevitable considering its only a 2 hour movie. I also saw it in theaters and I remember being very emotional during the movie.

In other news, I'm really enjoying Ascendance of a Bookworm. I found it randomly whilst browsing Crunchyroll and finished the first season within a couple of days. Currently on the 2nd season which hasn't let me down yet either. It has that "Dr. Stone" type of feel given that the main character is placed into a more uncivilized world which she gradually improves with her knowledge of all the innovations that were created in modern-day (cooking techniques, clothes, making paper)... It's just overall a really fun and non-stressful show.

@elo-chan @Mikaiah
Dude... my heart...
So, it turns out I had already seen the ending clip from a Youtube video or FB post a long time ago. I knew what was going to happen halfway through... BUT... that didn't stop me from my eyes out. Honestly, I feel like if I watched it again I would get the same reaction, especially the scene with Onora... that scene hit me hard

Spoiler

since my fur baby is 15

I can't believe it was played in a movie theater, I wonder what it was like in there at the end .-.

 

[Corrie]

Well my bf and I split up so I can finally watch the last few episodes of Ghost Stories. We were watching it together but not no more! Lol

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you're doing okay.

I'm thinking of watching Yawara once I finish some other stuff but I can't find English subs up until episode 40, so I'm kind of in a pickle lol. It's on the older side too, so unfortunately it doesn't look like anybody's streaming it.

i low key miss when i was obsessed with anime and would watch an entire show in one or two days. i’m thinking of picking up gintama again but idk. i haven’t kept up with new releases for the past four years so i have no idea what i would watch if i were to pick it up again

 

[Bloobloop]

this is a manga but i just had to talk about it! i read the entirety of aku no hana in one sitting because it was a highly rated psychological manga (which is a genre i looove when done right - liar game and 20th century boys are so well-written and interesting!) and... it sucked! like really, really bad. the art was average at best, but that didn't matter to me nearly as much as the messy and pretentious writing. none of the main characters are likable and the story attempts to be a delve into the human psyche and the different relationships the characters have with each other but it falls completely flat on its face. a lot of the "controversial" or "twisted" stuff feels added in purely for shock value. all in all, i personally found it terrible. maybe i just didn't get it, maybe i'll never understand it but i don't really care.

Season two of Re Zero is coming out July 8th, I recommend watching the recently released directors cut of season one to get you back into anime but you can never go wrong with GinTama

Trust me I tried, but I never got into Gin Tama or Bleach... pls don't attack me ... It also took me a VERY long time to watch Death Note, I remember watching it up until ep. 5 or 7 and not liking, but everyone around me kept telling me "it gets good after ep 7". Long story short, I ended up watching it a couple of years later and I regret every minute of it.

You're not the only one who didn't get it. Or maybe it just wasn't worth getting. I never read the manga, only watched the anime adaptation, and I didn't enjoy it at all. The anime didn't cover as much as the manga. Based on where it left off, there was definitely room for a second season, but it's been a couple of years now so I doubt there's ever going to be one. I imagine things only got worse later on in the manga.

 

[Darby]

(I thought I knew how to reply with a quote but guess not...) anyway, I’m sorry you didn’t like GinTama, I couldn’t finish Clannad and I’ve never seen anyone not like that one so we’ve all got our quirks but I remember when I first started watching anime I stuck with the dubs but somewhere along the way you kind of run out so you’ve got to start watching subbed and THEN that’s when I got truly hooked. I can’t stand anything not subbed now and can pretty much watch anything just for the voice acting and GinTama is a masterpiece in that regard. I laughed so hard I had to stop watching it just to catch my breath on more than a few occasions.

i only read the manga since i heard about it before the anime (which i didn’t even bother with since i disliked the manga so much), and it was kind of a train wreck from start to finish? i just didn’t connect with it at all haha, i think the (in my opinion) one-dimensional characters kind of broke the immersion for me. but it’s strange! my friend said he didn’t like it either, but every review i find online praises it ;;
