@OtakuKid I really liked Kemurikusa’s character designs & artstyle The story was kinda hard to follow at times, but still enjoyable. There were also a number of shorts about the other sister’s who weren’t as central to the main story. Unfortunately they weren’t available on Amazon Prime. I don’t like to frequent pirate sites, but found some of them on Youtube, but not subtitled in English Wish they would do a blu ray release complete with the shorts. As far as whether it should be considered anime I’d say definitely. On another forum I used to frequent the point was made that the Japanese don’t have a separate word for animation or cartoons from different countries, they refer to it all as anime. Of course when non-Japanese people use the term, it implies that it was originally created for a japanese audience or at least copies the japanese style of animation. Just like the word otaku can mean an obsessive fan of anything in Japan, but when used by a foreigner usually means a fan of Japanese pop culture (anime, manga, video games, idol groups, etc.)

Welcome to the forums, hope you enjoy it here Yeah, I personally feel restricting yourself to just “popular” series means you miss out on a lot of enjoyable series that fly under most people’s radar. Besides everyone has different tastes & anime is diverse enough to have something that appeals to anyone. I do think I need to be a bit more sekective. Lately I’ve been watching 15 - 20 ongoing series per season which doesn’t give me much time to work on my backlog list I used to hike quite a bit when I lived in the country, but not so much now. Would probably be beneficial to start again. Anyway, hope you find enough to interest you here that you stick around.

Rascal Does Not Dream of a Dreaming Girl (aka the Bunny Girl-senpai movie) It’s a requirement that you’ve already completed the tv series as it’s Shoko’s arc & explains how she’s connected to Sakuta It’s a decent enough resolution but

I’d managed to watch all the series (including Alternative: Gun Gale Online), but dropped Alicization around episode 6 because it felt too pretentious. I wouldn’t say the franchise is actually bad, but definitely don’t get what’s supposed to be so special about it.

The original is from 2006, I started watching it but never finished but don’t remember why. Just last year I watched the prequel Fate Zero (2011 - 2012) and loved it. Have since watched some of the spin off side stories, but wasn’t impressed. Really need to give the original another try.

Dio so badass even troll kings like Vanir be copying him Honestly I didn’t get that far into Jojo beyond the original story arc, but could see myself revisiting it someday. I generally prefer shorter series. Anyway, hope you enjoy it here

Welcome to the forums, hope you enjoy it here Same here, though my first thought was Chun Li if she was a delinquent

Welcome to the forums, hope you enjoy it here Some more shonen you might enjoy: Kimetsu no Yaiba, My Hero Academia, Ushio & Tora, Black Clover, Plunderer.

The recent State of Emergency declaration in Japan is making it’s presence felt. Both Appare Ranman & Diary of Our Days at Breakwater will go on hiatus after episode 3. There have been other titles as well & probably more to come.

CrunchyRoll & Webtoon’s latest joint project: God of Highschool

Last episode finally aired yesterday. Unfortunately followed it’s usual pattern: decent set up, underwhelming resolution. There were things I actually liked about this series, but ultimately a disappointment. (6/10)

Think I’ll rewatch Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai to refresh my memory since Funimation will be streaming the movie this weekend only https://www.funimation.com/blog/2020/04/13/watch-rascal-does-not-dream-of-a-dreaming-girl-this-weekend-only-on-funimation/#more-32624 Recommended for anyone who enjoyed Haruhi Suzimiya.

Definitely feel that too. But several active members here are in their 30s at least & no one’s made feel unwelcome, everyone’s really friendly. I’m still one of the older members, but there’s at least one who has a couple years on me In recent years I’d mainly been watching newer series, but still have some older ones to catch up on or finish (Fate Stay Night). May finally get around to it as it’s starting to look like the pandemic could cause a lot of simulcasts to go on hiatus. A bit disappointed since there have been more series this season that seemed enjoyable than in quite awhile. Hopefully they’ll all get their chance once this is over with, even if it takes awhile. I don’t mind delays, but hope they don’t get scrapped & go unfinished. These are by the same creator, btw Might want to check out a currently airing series called Appare Ranman because it has a similar feel to it.

@The Lurker Of Midnight You said you watched it a couple years ago, but did it’s style seem older? Reason I ask is parts of what you describe sounds a bit like Nuku Nuku There are several different versions, but specifically it kinda sounded like the OVA episode 4

Where everybody at?! Gonna get real boring real fast if I’m the only one talking Loved this week’s episode, especially Shisho not pulling any punches in his talk with Kyo’s “father” Got lots of other observations, but would rather hear what some other people think.

I watched the first couple episodes on Funimation, but haven’t really made up my mind about it yet.
