  1. Regarding Kakegurui, yeah, Eyepatch Girl is pretty messed up in particular. As far as series with the most freaks & deviants, probably Speedgrapher, though Black Lagoon has quite a few as well (especially the twins). If we’re talking blood and gore, probably Blood C, though I hear Devilman Crybaby is pretty bad as well. As far as a story that takes a WTF?! turn, there’s Master of Martial Hearts. Finally, if you’re interested in a series dealing with psychologically & emotionally damaged characters that’s pretty surreal but also quite good, check out Penguindrum
  2. Welcome. As for suggestions, maybe try Goblin Slayer, Ajin: Demi-human and The Promised Neverland
  3. Nuisance snow showers, temperatures holding steady around freezibg

  5. Premieres April 28 https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/daily-briefs/2019-02-17/attack-on-titan-season-3-part-2-anime-premieres-on-april-28/.143558
  6. I'm not familiar with Overwatch so I had to look up what Genji looked like He seems to kinda resemble Silver Crow from Accel World and the story does involve bullying, though it doesn't match your description real well. Maybe it's what your looking for, or maybe someone else might see the picture and be able to figure it out for you.
  7. The original CCS is one of my favorites as well, though I personally find the Clear Card arc lacking. Another enjoyable CLAMP series is Kobato, though it's not a conventional magical girl series. While she's on a magical quest and has a familiar who masquerades as a plush animal similar to Kero, she doesn't have any magical powers (other than her clumsiness and her ability to melt even the most jaded heart). Some other memorable examples of the genre for me: Pretear which has reverse-harem elements Princess Tutu & Petite Princess Yucie both emphasize fantasy & fairy tale elements. Magical Girl Spec Ops Asuka definitely is a much darker take on things. A word of warning, the series features gratuitous violence, and not in a comedic way (episode 4 in particular had a lengthy torture sequence that was difficult to watch)
  8. Season 2 coming this summer https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/daily-briefs/2019-02-15/is-it-wrong-to-try-to-pick-up-girls-in-a-dungeon-anime-2nd-season-premieres-this-summer/.143517
  9. Probably Hikaru for her sheer genkiness
  10. Gives a listen. Hmm, not sure but this might be to your liking (off topic though since it's from last year)
  11. It definitely gets your attention, but my own preference is for Mob Psycho 100 II's OP As far as the series itself (Domestic Girlfriend), I'm up to episode 3 and it's actually not as tawdry as I expected it to be, though I would still consider it the anime equivalent of a soap opera :lol:
  12. No complaints from me, as I wasn't around to respond when it was initially closed My favorite is one most people don't seem to think of when you mention the genre: Magic Knight Rayearth. It has all the prerequisites: young girls bestowed with magical abilities, transformation sequences, an adorable mascot/familiar creature, romance ... Of course it also incorporates elements of D&D fantasy and mecha (once they discover the "Rune Gods". And the second season adds scifi elements as well. As far as Madoka, I started watching it once but didn't get very far, though I did see one of the key moments I honestly don't remember why I stopped watching, guess it just wasn't what I was looking for at the time, but it's definitely on my bucket list
  13. Second season has been announced, but no date yet https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2019-02-11/miss-kobayashi-dragon-maid-anime-gets-2nd-season/.143234
  14. The one line that DID make me smile
  15. Yeah that's right, it's Friday

  16. So, I saw the movie last night. I was actually surprised at how much of the source material they were able to incorporate. Unfortunately, the dialogue, acting & fight choreography was more on par with a Syfy Channel movie than something James Cameron was involved with. I’m just really disappointed that this was the finished product after all the years they talked about it. As I mentioned in an earlier post, my hope now is that maybe some people will be curious enough to check out the manga & we’ll get a proper anime adaption like they’re doing with Boogiepop & Fruits Basket.
  17. Hinomaru Sumo for it's attention to the cultural & ceremonial aspects of the sport, as well as some of the strategy & tactics involved Gurazeni Money Pitch offered what I considered to be a different POV on being a professional athlete than you would get from an American look at baseball Gegege no Kitaro for it's exploration of folklore concerning different yokai and some different views on modern vs traditional values Yuru Camp for it's exploration of actual hiking/camping sites in Japan Dagashi Kashi for it's exploration of a unique type of traditional store that specializes in cheap candy & treats Zombieland Saga for referencing actual businesses, events & specialties of Saga prefecture in Japan EDIT: Almost forgot about Golden Kamuy for it's exploration of Ainu culture
  18. His pride is definitely what keeps him from seeing the truth. Whether he can be redeemed remains to be seen.
  19. I don’t actually think Spear Hero is that bad of a guy, he just doesn’t realize he’s being led around by the short-hairs As far as the comparison to other series, I get what you say but whenever someone asks for recommendations or “would I like it”, I find it beneficial to offer some sort of point of reference (though if they haven’t seen those series either it’s a moot point :p). Of course every series has it own nuances and style even within the same genre (and sometimes across the form of presentation, I.e. light novels vs anime version). Anyway, am I enjoying the series? Yup, though the degree can vary from week to week. And I’m definitely curious to see how things develop.
  20. Scheduled for April, though it looks like it may be a Funimation exclusive (as far as legal streaming goes anyway)
  21. @Beocat Sorry if I made a mistake in remembering whether Crest or Banner came first, I always confuse them
