tHANKS,..SAW THE TITLE BEFORE. nEVER WATCHED IT. tHANKS

I have nothing to watch this evening. There are some new eps from the seasonal animes from this week. But they are all very serious or depressing., Not in the mood for that. 

So i guess i am gonna reread the last pages of this thread, to see if something catches my eye

Started watching Lazarus. I like it so far

Anyone seen the first 2 eps? What did you think? The reviews are great but i am still not sure what to think of it. I havent seen many animes with this style

Is ice cream only for kids? No

Fans of it's manga are complaining that the humor isn't nearly as prevalent in the anime as it is in the manga, and while it may seem minor to someone who's never read the manga, it's a pretty big deal to the established fanbase. A lot of times these things work themselves out over time too.

Also, is Teogonia an Isekai? I saw on Reddit that it was considered as such but wasn't sure how true it was. If it is, and CR doesn't have it listed in it's genre list, then that could play a part in it's lower reviews as well. If I turn on an anime not labeled Isekai and then half an episode later realize I'm watching a harem I leave immediately. 

Teogonia is not an isekai. The MC gets the memories of someone from the past

Planning to at least check out: I'm the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire, Sword of the Demon Hunter & I'm the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire. Plan to binge Kowloon Generic Romance when it’s over.

I really like Sword of the Demon Hunter and i think you will too. The Evil lord is a 5/10 for me so far. But i will hang in there.

There some other great animes this season. Let me know if you want recommendations. I am as we speak now started watching The Too-Perfect Saint: Tossed Aside by My Fiancé and Sold to Another Kingdom. Haha some slow easy guilty pleasure before bedtime.

I own a few Japanese Naruto collector items manga books. But they are in plastic. Almost never read manga. It is a bit the reading from right to left, and the no color (often). But the biggest party is that anime just works better with audio and video, synergetic.

I find them relaxing, especially in the evenings after work. Though there is a limit & this season’s offerings look to test it. Which is why at least 1 of those 3 will likely wind up in my backlog pile, even though I don’t consider any of them bad. Very much in my try-out phase of the season, likely lasting to the end of April or possibly the season’s mid-point.

My action side of things includes Fire Force season 3 & My Hero Academia: Vigilantes. Watched the 1st ep of Lazarus dubbed, currently on hold while I wait for the subtitled version on the Adult Swim app. Planning to check out Yaiba eventually, but my Netflix is currently on hold. May check out Wind Breaker season 2, but not planning on Go, Go Loser Ranger season 2.

 

 

For relaxing i use romantic fantasy. Haha always ends the same but i find it comforting. I dont mind the slice of life genre now and then, but i am just not in touch with the japanese humor.

So no other shows for you this season? No new Black Butler arc? Or 'From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman' ?

Oh and I think i just need to admit i perhaps have a weird taste. I really like the first 3 episodes of the new serie ' The beginning after the end'. But the score aint great. So must be me haha

I mostly watch seasonal anime, so this time Spring.

Yesterday was kind of a CGDCT bonanza as I watched the premiere episodes of Mono (from the creator of Yuru Camp), Food for the Soul (from the creator of Non Non Biyori) & Zatsu Tabi. Intend to apply the 3 episode rule, but likely I’ll drop at least 1 of them.  First impression is Mono is the likely drop.

You and i have such a different taste mate

I really can not watch those comedy slice of life series

I'll never feel too old to watch anime either.

Although I too have noticed that my tastes and preferences have changed, I have some anime series in my cupboard that I look at today and wonder what I ever thought was so good about them.

When i was "young" i only wanted to watch action anime. But now i get older, i dont always feel the need. When i am tired or stressed, i prefer to watch something slower. Hahaha i even watch trash anime

Adapting a manga, which is generally created by a single mangaka, and not sticking to the source material is ludicrous in my opinion and I'd say that sentiment is shared by most anime enjoyers. When you adapt a book into a movie and you have to cut parts out to fit a story into the 2 hour timeframe or something of that nature it's one thing, but when you can animate an entire story and you choose to butcher the creator's vision it's just disrespectful. Also you can take Berserk for example, by episode 1 every fan of the manga knew it was going to be trash because of the CGI. 

 

Okay,..i dont read manga so i trust your opinion on that.

 people who have read the manga and have a certain level of expectations. 

Than 1 ep is still to early to judge

I understand the point though. I can understand that people who love a manga want the anime to be like that and follow the story etc. But than again,..why must an anime always be like the manga? I can just read the manga itself. Isnt it better if the anime is slightly different so you see something new?

I will never feel to old to watch Anime.

However i do notice my taste and preferences changed

I find it a bit strange that people would vote a series down just because of the company that made. Surely a series should be judged by it's quality not by who made it.

But I guess that's human nature for you.

I totally agree. I would have never thought of this until i saw those comments more and more on myanimelist. A reply like "come on guys, i know studio X has let us down the last few shows, but dont downgrade this new show for that reason". 

I saw it more and more. Or a reply from people who really were a fan of the manga and felt let down (even do the show diverted from the maga it was still good). BUTTT after 1 episode must be a new record hahaha

I've not seen the series in question, but I don't think 3.5/5 is a low score for a first episode.  Who assigns the scores? Is it us viewers and I've missed something somewhere?

Well i watch a LOT on CR and i hardly see a low score as this. Normal is between 4 and 5. From the 250+ shows i seen on CR, maybe 3 or 4 were lower dan 3,5. And the show was absolute trash, So my theory is that this show will get a better rating after a few episodes when more people vote. But somehow i have the feeling people vote low on first episode for other sentimental reasons. Like not liking the company that made it, e.g.

I often see unexpected scores on crunchyroll. What is that about?

I mean i know i have sometimes a weird taste in anime so i get that i like something others dont. But now i started watching Teogonia. Only 1 episode is out and people score it a 3.6/5 How is that possible after 1 episode? I mean the graphics are okay. No very annoying MC or weird music. As far as the story, well we need more episodes to decide. So why the low score? Is that because some people are anti a certain anime company? Or is it because the anime doesnt look like the manga that they liked? Anyone knows?

I watched the first episode - it made me wonder if I was somehow watching the start of season 2. No real lead up, just leaping into the middle.

Yes i noticed the same.  Not many animes do this but i have seen it before,..that the first ep is in the future to show the life. Episode 2 starts at the beginning. It is also online now

Started last friday. Love the graphics. Love the MC. Has potential
