  1. Finished Golden Kamuy Final Season (though there will apparently be a movie or special to actually wrap up the story). Also finished Medalist season 2. Planning to watch Sentenced to Be a Hero & the 2nd cour of To Your Eternity season 3 over the weekend. Planning to start the 2nd season next week.
  2. Why are you posting in Japanese here but not on other topics/threads?
  3. Currently watching Golden Kamuy Final Season. Pretty much a lock on my AOTS for Winter 2026 & will be very surprised if it’s not in my Top Ten of the year.
  4. Currently halfway through the most recent season of JJK. After finishing it, will probably watch Fate Strange/Fake starting with a rewatch of the prologue Whispers of Dawn.
  5. Continuing to wrap up Winter season titles. Just started Fire Force’s final cour
  6. Kaorin was just there to crush on Sakaki & be traumatized by Kimura-sensei Didn’t remember Chihiro at all
  7. It’s not a “free” service, it’s a subscription where there’s an additional fee every month so don’t know if it’ll actually save you money (though it might be possible to get a free 30 day trial if it doesn’t connect your Amazon & CR account emails). Not sure if even that would work though. MAL lists it as a sequel to Season 3 which aired in 2022. Maybe changing the title to mark a major turning point in Myne’s story. (actually a spoiler for how season 3 ended for anyone who hasn’t already seen it). Also, WIT Studios are taking over the series production which has a reputation for quality adaptions.
  8. Looks like it debuts May 1st. Hopefully at a theater reasonably close. Not sure, I only keep Prime Video active intermittently, though it looks like Amazon is getting more invested in anime again. I just re-activated to finish The Darwin Incident & will try to find time to check out the Old Country Bumpkin isekai 1st season while I’m at it since it’s apparently getting a sequel later this year
  9. Definitely planning to watch Ascendence of a Bookworm & Re:ZERO, but planning to watch episodes in batches instead of weekly. I’m not sure about Slime, the size of the cast & number of unresolved subplots has become increasingly difficult to keep track of lately. I’m actually looking forward to the latest movie’s US theatrical release (not sure when exactly, but I assume this year). It supposed to be largely stand alone with Gobta getting a chance to play hero for a girl he develops a crush on Witch Hat Atelier is the new series I’m most curious about. The sequels I’m most hyped for are Dorohedoro 2 & Iruma-kun 4. And I always find a number of titles that catch my interest besides.
  10. That doesn’t come out until October of this year https://myanimelist.net/anime/61987/Kusuriya_no_Hitorigoto_3rd_Season So far they’ve released 2 seasons, each with 24 episodes.
  11. Started watching Oshi no Ko season 3. Pleasantly surprised to see Abiko-sensei again.

  13. Welcome Hope you find things to interest you here. My first anime was Star Blazers in the late 70s / early 80s.
  14. Welcome Hope you find things to interest you here
  15. Science Fiction: Star Blazers • Macross • 86 • Steins Gate • Dead Dead Demons Dededede Destruction • Takopi’s Original Sin • Figure 17 Magic: Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood • Jujutsu Kaisen • Dorohedoro • Overlord • Puella Magi Madoka Magica
  16. Have you got to the part with the bunnies yet? I wasn’t planning on watching the 2nd season of MHA Vigilantes since the first season was pretty meh & the main series is over (except for a couple upcoming epilogue episodes). But heard there was an arc focusing on Eraser Head & Present Mic as students, so decided to give it a try. Haven’t even reached that part yet, but already a significant enough improvement that I’m likely to finish it.
  17. I first became aware of Azumanga Daioh via ADV Films dvd release of the series starting in 2003. I credit it as my very first slice-of-life anime & one of my all time favorite anime. I have all six volumes/discs & recently purchased the reissued bluray collection from Sentai Film Works.
  18. Kimura-sensei is widely credited as the originator of the word/term “waifu”. The mangaka also has a long running manga series called Yotsuba that surprisingly has never had an anime adaption.
  19. Trailer for Yuru Camp season 4, though we’ll have to wait until next year Looks like I was right about the girls Ena met at the park last season joining the Outdoors Activities Club
  20. Welcome Hope you find things to interest you here. It’s anime hair, the laws of physics don’t apply (pretty low-key by comparison to a lot of others )
  21. When I’m out grocery shopping or running other errands, I‘ve been noticing an increasing number of cars with anime window decals, bumper stickers or other accessories (like a jeep I saw with a Bakugo spare tire cover on the back)
  22. I remember a time when most anime on American tv could be broadly categorized as science fiction, though divided into various other subgenres: Space Opera (Star Blazers), Giant and/or Combining Robots (Tranzor Z, Voltron), Alien Invasion (Battle of the Planets), Mecha (Robotech). I remember a time when many isekai protagonists were female (and I don’t mean the Villainess archetype). Examples: Magic Knight Rayearth, Fushigi Yuugi & Vision of Escaflowne. I remember a time when you only got 2 or 3 episodes of anime on a VHS tape, it cost $20-$35 & you had to wait a minimum of 2 months for the next tape. Now people complain if an episode isn’t available 2 hours after it was broadcast in Japan and around $10/month for all you can watch is too expensive. A more recent trend, more anime are choosing to adapt arcs via movies instead of new seasons. And even when there is a new season, there’s an early theatrical release of the first couple episodes. And an increasing number of these movies get American releases. And not just popular shonen. For example, a couple years ago I saw the 2nd & 3rd Rascal Does Not Dream movies (sequels to Bunnygirl-senpai) at a cinema & I’m seeing Uma Musume: Beginning of a New Era at the movies this weekend. And I’m not living somewhere trendy like California or New York (SW OH ) Yes, there are way too many cut & paste isekai, OP MC & harem building series being made, but you also have series like the currently airing Journal With Witch (that I mentioned in the What Are You Watching topic) that I doubt would have been made in the past.
