@Kinbaryu

wow, your submission seemed really professionally  done. Kudos 

My opinion of the series actually went up a fair bit after watching episode 12 as I like the way this current mission is unfolding.

As long as they keep up the momentum next week, I’ll probably follow it into the new cour.

Welcome 

Having a bit of trouble reading your post, but may be because I’m viewing on my phone. Glad you’re here regardless. 

As far as recommendations, I recently watched a series called Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress which is an eastern steampunk zombie apocalypse series (rather unique). Currently it’s just a single cour, but I believe there are a couple summary movies and an upcoming sequel movie.

Hope you find enough things to interest you around here that you stick around.

Welcome, happy to see more new members 

Looking at the types and of anime you enjoy, wondering if you’ve seen Aria? About a girl training to be a gondolier after Mars was terraformed to resemble the earth city of Venice. It has a very tranquil, dreamlike vibe to it and three seasons (The Animation, The Natural & The Origination). I’ll also mention a series I recently watched called Kemurikusa that reminded me a bit of HhD , having a very surreal setting.

Hope you enjoy yourself here.

I actually liked Rui’s character for most of the series & even thought the male lead was an overall decent guy early on, but I couldn’t stand Hina from the start and she only seemed to get worse. And unfortunately by the end of the series I couldn’t feel respect for any of them.

I haven’t read the manga, but considering the anime ended with a lot of unresolved questions about Akame, I assume it’s at least more complete.

Welcome, glad you found your way here 

Based on your description of the type of anime you enjoy, I’ll toss out the recent Ushio & Tora tv series as a recommendation. 

Hope you stick around.

This week’s reveals didn’t come as any real surprise, but it was still a good episode. With next week being the season finale, there’s no way everything will be wrapped up, but wonder what kind of note it will end on.

 I don't know enough about the stuff getting released these days to feel comfortable in pre-ordering.  

That’s the great thing about streaming series as they air, you know which ones you really enjoy before you buy. Though you still need to invest the time to check them out. Some people don’t feel the need to actually own a physical copy, but you never know when a company could lose the rights to a series or simply decide to take it down to make room for something else. Likewise, I don’t have a lot of time to rewatch series, but you don’t know what the future of the industry is. Plus it’s a way to support the type of series you enjoy.

I used to preorder all the time, but I’m much more selective about what I buy now and usually wait until I find a good price. There are exceptions though. I think the only 2 titles I currently have on preorder are the 2nd halves of My Hero Academia season 3 & Star Blazers 2202.

There are actually a couple titles I would preorder in a heartbeat, but the licensor hasn’t scheduled a physical release (off the top of my head: Konosuba seasons 1 & 2, Yuru Camp and A Place Further than the Universe). For something older, a complete collection of Monster

@TsuchiMaika While not one of my top series, I’m nevertheless enjoying Midnight Occult  Civil Servants (Huehuecoyotl in particular is an entertaining character :lol: )

I suppose I should at least give Sarazanmai a look since I enjoyed Penguindrum, though I think it may prove a little too weird for me

The general consensus is NO. It’s biggest shortcoming IMO was that where the original was a single coherent story divided into different chapters, but each season of Korra felt like it was telling it’s own story, albeit with a cast  of recurring characters and some story overlap. There were some pretty cool depictions of characters from the previous series though, so as a fan of the original it might be worth checking out. The other thing is what they tried to make a big deal about in the finale felt more like a gimmick that was just tacked on at the end for attention.

You’re not a real badass until you’ve punched a bear in the face and lived to talk about it (amusement park mascots don’t count)

Welcome 

I’ll be joining the half-century club myself next month, so there’s at least a couple of us around. Been a fan of anime since the late 70’s early 80’s and a fan of animation in general. Hope you find enough things to interest you here that you stick around

This past weekend’s episode was a bit of a mixed bag for me

Stuff I liked

Stuff I didn’t

Currently my #4 series for the season

Though, I have never watched Beautiful Bones. I am going to have to add that to my list. 

Happy to bring this one to more people’s attention. The only real complaint I have is it’s only a single cour leaving a lot of unresolved issues. It definitely tops my list of series I wish would get a continuation. There’s also some CGI sequences that didn’t look very good or seem to fit, but if memory serves it was less frequent in the later episodes.

Glad you’re feeling welcome, hope to see you around.

Welcome  Glad you found your way here.

I grew up on a farm myself, though I live in  town now. I saw where you mentioned canning in another post, I remember that being a summer family activity with my parents & sister, filling up the whole basement with green beans, tomatoes & homemade pickles to last the rest of the year. Definitely good memories of happier days.

I don’t really buy merch either, though I have a pretty large collection of anime on disc I’ve collected over the years. But like you mentioned, there’s so much out there I don’t really have time to rewatch series (I’m currently watching 14 weekly series).

As far as recommendations, I’ll start off with  My Hero Academia. 

Anyway, hope you enjoy yourself here.

We Never Learn is better than Quintessential Quintuplets. Fight me

<sigh> I knew just from the OP/ED and his brief appearance during Final Selection that the blond haired kid was going to be the biggest obstacle to me staying with this series. Not just his cowardice, but good god man, Brock from Pokemon has more dignity around women. I have no doubt he will grow eventually, but I doubt it will be any time soon and he’s currently so annoying I just don’t know. I’m a bit interested in boar guy, though it seems like he’ll be pretty over the top. I do like the design for the new demon though. 

Welcome! New members are always a good thing

My top five from the current season would be: Dororo, Attack on Titan, Shield Hero, Fruits Basket & Isekai Quartet.

All time favorites include: Cowboy Bebop, My Hero Academia, Azumanga Daioh, Yuru Camp, & A Place Further Than The Universe.

 Hope you’ll stick around.
