  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. 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)
  4. 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
  5. Probably Hikaru for her sheer genkiness
  6. Gives a listen. Hmm, not sure but this might be to your liking (off topic though since it's from last year)
  7. 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:
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. The one line that DID make me smile
  11. Yeah that's right, it's Friday

  12. 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.
  13. 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
  14. His pride is definitely what keeps him from seeing the truth. Whether he can be redeemed remains to be seen.
  15. 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.
  16. Scheduled for April, though it looks like it may be a Funimation exclusive (as far as legal streaming goes anyway)
  17. @Beocat Sorry if I made a mistake in remembering whether Crest or Banner came first, I always confuse them
  18. I just finished episode 6. If you're expecting the edgy anti-hero promoted by fans of of light novels, you'd probably be dissapointed by the past couple eps. Personally, I don't mind it having more in common with How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord than Goblin Slayer. Though there are definitely indication of a larger more serious story as well. And how many eps do you think it will be before we find out that Spear Hero's miracle crop And on a side note, Filo's seiyu is the same as Millim from Reincarncated as a Slime
  19. Welcome, Cypher. Hope you enjoy these forums as much as I do. Romance anime aren’t usually my thing but I enjoyed ReLIFE & Recoveryof an MMO Junkie recently. Kobato too For Space Operas, you might like Banner of the Stars if you haven’t seen it yet. Domestic Girlfriend is the closest I can think of :lol:
  20. It's the combination of the two really, but since I always buy Double Stuff, I seem to have a preference for the filling I guess
  21. I looked after my nephews this past saturday so my sister and her husband could have their "date night" Got tickets to an opening night screening of Alita for Wednesday Barring anything miraculous happening along there, Thursday will just be another weekday
  22. Apparently Ebina was popular enough to get her own spin-off manga, though it only lasted two volumes. Don't know anything about it personally. https://myanimelist.net/manga/95652/Akita_Imokko_Ebina-chan From what I recall, the second season focused more on Umara's developing friendship with the other girls & she spent less time in hamster mode. But at the end of the day not what I would call a great deal of character development. So entertaining but not really special.
