  1. Decided to give VRV a try since it’s just a couple dollars a month more than my standalone CR subscription aabd also gives me access to Hidive (and some “cartoon” channels). Of Sentai’s new anime series, enjoying The Demon Girl Next Door which is proving to he a funny (and at times cute) parody of Magical Girl anime.
  2. So Latina shows she can already be helpful on an expedition, though I imagine the regulars at the inn miss her. And can’t help but think Dale has some “history” with the elf girl he runs into in town.
  3. There’s already a topic/thread to discuss the series btw. https://animeforums.net/topic/10568-dr-stone-spoilers/
  4. @Humbby I actually seem to have the opposite reaction. If I hear a lot of hype surrounding a series or I go into it with high expectations, I’ve noticed I tend to be less forgiving. One of the reasons I try not to read reviews until I’ve already started to form an opinion. @Muco I honestly didn’t think Black Clover was that bad. Even though I did drop it fairly early on, I actually think I might revisit it someday. The biggest obstacle is I tend to prefer series that just last a couple cours or at least give you a break in between to explore something different. Same reason I burned out on One Piece & Hunter x Hunter, but would like to get back into them someday.
  5. My favorites among the currently airing series: Demon Slayer, Fruits Basket (2019), The Ones Within, If it’s for my Daughter I’d Even Defeat a Demon Lord & Fire Force. For older series I’d prefer to know what kind of series you’re looking for. If you want general recommendations, see the favorites section of my profile.
  6. Silver haired Russian girl shows up & declares Sakura (Hibiki) to be her rival. Lots of stereotypical humor
  7. I’m personally more inclined to check out a series based on what fellow forum members have to say about it than any sort of “professional” review or MAL rating (usually not a good indicator of whether I’ll enjoy a series). Really though the only way to know for sure is to invest the time to check out at least a couple episodes myself. Though watching the trailer/promotional videos can give an early impression. As far as series that exceed my expectations, right now that would be Naka no Hito Genome (The Ones Within). I had zero expectations for that one & it doesn’t seem to be getting any professional attention, but it’s my favorite of the new series for this season. I also prefer the dubbed version, which is unusual for me.
  8. That was the direction I was hoping it would take as well, unfortunately the flirtatious manner of the new girl in episode 5 makes it feel like it’s going to turn into a harem. I may come back to it later, but gonna set it aside for now. If nothing else maybe try something on my PTW list.
  9. There’s a lot of very talented & creative artists, cosplayers & people making AMVs. But as far as being a fan wanting to discuss & share their opinions on anime ... isn’t that what everyone on this forum is doing?
  10. Not nearly as climactic a decision though But yeah, think it classified me pretty well
  11. Cowboy Bebop. Yeah the ending of course. But for me the truly tragic character is Faye (clip is an AMV don’t watch unless you’re ok with possible spoilers.
  12. Pretty sure the first murder happens fairly early in the series, but as a whole the series puts more emphasis on suspense than action. Monster does have chases, fist fights, shoot outs, prison breaks, etc. but it spends most of it’s time exploring psychological & ethical issues. If that sounds boring to you, it’s probably not what you’re looking for.
  13. I got Hufflepuff, but only by a single point (54). Second was Ravenclaw (53). Pretty much the results I was expecting from the descriptions.
  14. Up to episode 2 of season 2. Wow, didn’t take things long to get intense did it? Though I was a bit put off by how some scenes seemed to go straight from serious to silly
  15. I keep hoping we’ll get a complete physical release of Monster here in the US someday
  16. I’ll recommend Beautiful Bones which I consider to be a seriously under appreciated series https://myanimelist.net/anime/30187/Sakurako-san_no_Ashimoto_ni_wa_Shitai_ga_Umatteiru?q=Beautiful bones Edit: How could I have forgotten about Monster? <facepalms> https://myanimelist.net/anime/19/Monster?q=Monster
  17. Welcome to the forums RomComs & SoL? Some of my favorites would be Ai Yori Aoshi, ReLIFE, Recovery of an MMO Junkie, Bokuben, Monthly Girls Nozaki-kun, Yuru Camp, New Game, Azumanga Daioh & School Rumble. As far as currently airing shows there’s the afore mentioned Fruits Basket & Naka no Hito Genome (snarky comedy, strange goings on & psychological exploration similar to Haruhi Suzimiya, Angel Beats & Bunny Girl Senpai) Hope you enjoy it here.
  18. https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2019/08/05/tv-anime-dr-stone-reveals-key-visual-and-new-characters-for-its-next-village-arc Looks like all those characters from the OP will be making their debut soon. Hopefully I’ll start enjoying the series more with a bigger cast.
  19. Just finished episode 5. Continue to be Impressed at how they usually manage to give each of the characters a moment in every episode. Though it felt like this challenge ended rather abruptly and with a lot of hanging questions. Also surprised in that I never I thought I would feel even a twinge of sympathy for Paka, but ... Anyway, hope some other folks decide to give this one a try.
  20. Season 4 of MHA is definitely my most anticipated series of the fall season.
  21. Sword Oratorio. I actually watched it recently but didn’t think it was as good as the main series. I think it’s cute/funny the way Hestia calls Ais Wahlenstein “Wala-whatsit” Edit: Guess I wasn’t the only that needed a refresher since their was an episode recapping season 1 (I still recommend watching season 1 in it’s entirety if you haven’t seen it). So, guess I feel prepared for season 2 now.
  22. Just finished the OVA episode which was just fanservice and comedy (very similar to the recent Reincarnated as a Slime one). That ED though :lol:
  23. I didn’t think season 1 was anything outstanding, but still an enjoyable non-isekai fantasy series (some harem aspects though). Definitely some cute moments between the MCs Season 2 seems to be getting pretty good reviews and since Isekai Cheat Magician and Cop Craft are kind of disappointing, thinking I may drop/put on hold and try this instead. I’m a bit worried I may gave forgotten some details or confused them with similar series, but hopefully it’ll come back to me when I resume.
  24. Was planning to binge season 2 once it was over, but a number of other series I started watching are proving disappointing, so I may go ahead and start it early
