  1. Saw at the cinema today Rascal Does Not Dream of a Sister Venturing Out - the 2nd sequel film to the Bunnygirl-senpai tv series, with the focus on Kaede’s struggle to overcome the extreme social anxiety which previously led to her living as a hikikomori for 2 years. Very emotional with a strong advocacy of alternative educational methods & learning/finding acceptance for being different (not “normal”). Rascal Does Not Dream of a Knapsack Kid - the 3rd film , focusing on an unexpected “complication” of the Azusagawa family trying to reconcile & overcome the mutual trauma that resulted in the parents & children living separately. Also greater focus on Sakuta & Mai’s deepening relationship as they get closer to leaving high school & becoming young adults. This one hit me on a much more personal level emotionally & actually made me tear up. Added to my list of all-time favorite anime movies. Both movies were very emotional, while also having the humorous (and in the case of Sakuta/Mai, flirtatious) verbal sparring the franchise is known for. I wasn’t initially a fan, but the deeper I get into it, the more appealing I find it. Definitely recommended for fans of Haruhi Suzimiya (personally I like it better). The one major complaint is that you need to have seen the previous material to keep up with the story. Which is further complicated by the fact that none of the movies are currently streaming legally in the US. This theatrical double feature was extremely limited (one day only for the sub version & dub version the next day only). And the blu ray of the first movie is priced at a premium. And it will only get more difficult for newcomers since the after credit scene revealed that a new animated entry has been green-lit (no word on if it will be a 4th movie or a 2nd season).
  2. More of a Monday quote than a Friday one, but “You may not realize it, but people have to work to make a living, no matter how foul their mood.” - Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End episode 27
  3. Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Will probably check out the follow-up this weekend.
  4. “From Santa’s point of view, we never grow up” - Mr. Villain’s Day Off episode 8
  5. I tend to alternate between Netflix & Hulu/Disney+ as series I want to watch accumulate. Crunchyroll is the only subscription I keep continuously.
  6. About damm time https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2024-03-18/disney-to-stream-nearly-all-macross-anime-worldwide-in-2024/.208882 some people may not be happy about Disney picking up the licensing deal, but given that they’re older series with a lot of nostalgia it kinda makes sense to me
  7. I use https://myanimelist.net since the majority of what I watch anymore is anime. My profile page is https://myanimelist.net/profile/Ohayotaku
  8. Akudama Drive - dystopian/cyberpunk adventure, female protagonist. Kind of a spoiler, but several characters don’t survive (kind of like Edgerunners) Lycoris Recoil - girls with guns action, some slice of life & humor. Bluray collection is awfully expensive though. Expelled from Paradise - futuristic cyberpunk movie. Claymore - dark fantasy, swordswoman Deca-Dence - post apocalyptic future, kaiju. Kinda cyberpunk. ID: Invaded - cyberpunk, detectives vs serial killers Iria Zeiram: The Animation - retro anime, futuristic female bounty hunter. 6 episode OVA Solty Rei - cyberpunk, bounty hunters Moribito Guardian of the Spirit - female warrior/bodyguard
  9. Welcome Hope you find things that interest you here & decide to stuck around. It’s a colder environment, but as far as tribal girls who use a bow, there’s Asirpa from Golden Kamuy
  10. They just added season 3 of Sound Euphonium which I believe is a series I’ve heard you mention https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2024-03-16/crunchyroll-to-stream-sound-euphonium-3-date-a-live-v-unnamed-memory-anime-more/.208812

  12. My all time favorite horror anime is Shiki (vampires/suspense). Maybe also try Angels of Death (survival/serial killers/dark romance) & Ghost Hunt (paranormal investigators) I consider these supernatural instead of horror but also maybe try Mushishi (cryptids) • Ushio & Tora (shonen/yokai) • Dororo (samurai/demons) • The Ancient Magus Bride (celtic folklore/dark romance) • Gleipnir (body horror/romance/action)
  13. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2024-03-14/space-battleship-yamato-2205-2-part-film-project-gets-tv-version-in-may/.208747 Hope this gets picked up for US streaming, as Star Blazers (the Americanized version of Space Battleship Yamato) was my intro to anime and I enjoyed the two previous remakes (2199 & 2202)
  14. CR started posting it’s roster for the Spring 2024 season https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/seasonal-lineup/2024/3/13/spring-anime-2024-crunchyroll
  15. The Forgers have competition for most wholesome anime family
  16. Even though I burned out on the Dragonball franchise quite some time ago, there’s no denying the unparalleled influence it had on shonen anime. And am actually curious to check out the upcoming Sand Land anime. As @Otaking66lives mentioned, his distinctive character designs also impacted the video game industry with his work on the Dragon Quest franchise & Chronotrigger (my all-time favorite JRPG). RIP
  17. Put on hold after ep 12 because I let my Hulu subscription lapse in favor of Netflix. Planning to come back to it once the season ends. The world building definitely has some interesting potential.
  18. Just finished the 2nd ep of Ninja Kamui. While the story & characterizations are bare bones, when it comes to fight choreography & animation quality, it delivers what JJK2 frequently lacked.
  19. This is how I roll 😎

    just kidding 😁 saw it in the parking lot when I stopped to get groceries this evening. The owner is clearly a man of “culture”

    posting a pic of Tsuyu because Batroc would probably be too niche/obscure :P
