    Hello guys,first time so pardon me for any inconvenienc

    Welcome to the forums, hope you enjoy it here 😁

    As far as mystery/thriller recommendations:

    Higurashi: When They Cry - you should start with the original season (2006) & then watch Kai before attempting the latest version (Gou) because even though it starts out feeling like a retelling it actually becomes a sequel. The finale is scheduled for later this year. There are also some OVA episodes but they’re not really necessary unless you want & some of them are more comedic or ecchi.

    Shiki - this one goes more into horror territory & felt similar to Salem’s Lot to me.

    Beautiful Bones: Sakuako’s Investigation - I really consider this one to be underrated, but unfortunately it ends without resolving many of the plot threads.

    Moriarty the Patriot - season 2 is currently ongoing & is the latest take on the Sherlock Holmes mythos. The angle being that the legenday Holmes’ nemesis is actually trying to instigate a revolution against what he sees as a corrupt & aristocratic society.

    Finally, even though I haven’t seen them, I ‘ve heard good things about Another & the first season of Psycho Pass.

    If your curious about any other genres, feel free to ask.

    Season 5 premiered today. As expected,  the first ep primarily reintroduces Class 1A & touches on a few key story elements. The training exercise set up is  far from original & some of the reasons for demonstrating everyone’s quirks felt like a stretch, but they did seem to do a good job of letting their differing personalities shine through in their brief time onscreen. The ones that really shone were The Big 3 though

     

    from Hado playing against type as a “villain”, to Anajiki just wanting to leave, to Mirio’s goofball “Oops, I fell in the river again, someone save me” schtick

     🤣

    The second half of the ep focused on the aftermath of Endeavor’s fight against the Ultra Nomu from last season. If you read any of my previous comments in this thread you know I am not an Endeavor fan & last season’s finale left a bad taste in my mouth since I felt they were trying to fast-track his turn from heel to face. I feel a little bit better now that this week at least hinted that it will be more of a journey

     

    the long pause before Todoroki responded to his classmate saying he must be proud of his dad can be interpreted several ways. Maybe he’s concerned because Endeavor is still seriously injured or because he’s not used to having positive things to say about him. My hope is that Todoroki is still hesitant to forgive all the abuse he subjected him & his mom to. I’ll say it again, I’m actually in favor of Endeavor being allowed to redeem himself, but it shouldn’t be quick or easy. And it’s not a matter of getting stronger or more badass or changing his look. I’m also intrigued by the possibility that Dabi & the LoV might be looking to exploit Endeavor’s rise to being the new #1 hero & Hawks may also have ulterior motives 


    I actually had quite a bit to say for what was a largely a recap episode, but I remain cautiously hopeful that this season could be a return to greatness for the series.

    Finished season 2 last night & very disappointed with the way they gutted the story. Even having not read the manga it gave the impression of the writers saying “let’s just get this over with” in only 11 episodes (one of which was a recap that barely touched on season 1). I’ll probably give a more indepth review of both seasons later, maybe after getting more of the actual journey by reading the manga.

    I’m pretty sure Shaman King, Edens Zero & the new Godzilla will all be Netflix exclusives.
