A lot more seasonals than I meant to

Bofuri, Toilet bound Hanako kun, Infinite Dendrogram, and MHA.

While trying to fill in the gaps with some others on my plan to watch list. Continuing Chihayafuru 2, and Psycho Pass 3, might start heya camp as well.

Bofuri is the newest game Anime to release this season, and it's already proving to be really fun.

The story starts off with a newbie character who picks the name Maple to play in this VRMMO that her best friend begged her to get. Since she has no game experience and no one to walk her through the process she sort of makes up her own way of playing in this world, and dramatically creates situations that most players would never encounter. Its hilarious to witness and incredibly entertaining to see this characters antics vs the game style that most experienced players would choose. 

They also keep the pace up in this show and pack a lot in 1 episode, and yet it doesn't come off as rushed since its more laid back. If you want something serious, I suggest picking up shield hero, but if you just want to relax and have a bit of fun, this series will hit the spot.

What do you think about it?

Yea u need to catch up, it becomes really tough to guess who she will go out with. Its the best love triangle in all animes i have watched. 

I could guess that would happen with the statement from Taichi that he and Wataya both think of Chihaya as belonging to them both I cant believe he accepts that.. But I guess Im in for some excitement in the future

I'm only on season 2, but I agree with wataya and chihaya for master and queen. Seems like Taichi and Chihaya are the obvious ship, but thats my personal favorite couple as well.

Taichi might be a future contender for tha Master title, since learning from Wataya that a caruta master doesnt have to have natural talent but like I said, I'm only speculating since I'm only on season 2. Cant wait to catch up to season 3!

GOAT? There are certainly some masterpieces that I have rated as such. 

Some would have to say Death Note, as it is just as popular today as it ever was, whereas some other once hyped anime have since lost their sheen (looking at you Naruto)

I would say Vinland Saga is a contender. Though many would shoot this down for it not being a traditional style anime, as it has very little connection to the beloved culture many anime lovers grow to love, and though it has some shounen aspects here and there, certainly doesnt appeal overall in that very dominant genre. Regardless, its a masterfully done anime with a well developed story and doesnt have any adaptation problems so far. Its been worked on by Wit studios, and their animators show their experience in the set up of the dramatic action scenes as well as the top tier op and eds.

Just finished episode 24. This series was an absolute masterpiece, so much so that I’m actually reconsidering what my #1 for the year will be.  As great as Kimetsu no Yaiba was, there were times it irritated me. At one point it was even questionable whether  I would finish it.  Vinland Saga has been a quality piece of work from the beginning.  The only possible criticisms I might have are it’s certainly not a “feel good” story & the supposed MC isn’t really likable. Though a lot if that can be attributed to him still being a “stupid kid” as Askeladd puts it.  It is still possible he may learn from his past mistakes.

Which brings up the point that the past 24 episodes have apparently just been a “prologue” as the final episode’s title implies. Along with some of the cryptic final scenes, I have hope for a 2nd season. I don’t mind if it takes awhile just so they continue to do a quality job.

I definitely have Vinland Saga as my #1 for the year, then Shield Hero, and then Demon Slayer.. Just so you know you're not alone in your thinking. 

Askellad was a treasure in this series, and I do believe he was the MC of this arc, not Thotfinn, although later on in the series, I believe Thorfinn will have a more central and impactful role. I cant wait to see what the true meaning of "Vinland Saga" really is.

Chihaya - Chihayafuru

What did you think of Saiki? I cant wait to start it

I have a ton on my watching and plan to watch right now, but hope to give it a go soon.

Since you liked Gintama, I agree with Ohiotaku that you would probably like Histories Strongest Disciple Kenichi. It is a martial arts anime with a good underdog story, plenty of comedy coming at you from all sides, and a well written story of the MC, Kenichi becoming "the mightiest disciple". Very entertaining stuff here check it out I think youll have fun with it.

I have been keeping up with it. Its not an option for me. This series is close to my heart.

Ep 23.

Thank you to everyone for voicing your opinions on this issue. It is being reviewed right now to fix the issue with our add program. 

Congrats on your knighthood, Sommelier.

@zeno-wannabe Yes, I think Yuu Yuu Hakusho would be exactly what you're looking for. Glad you are enjoying claymore, it's one of my faves.

There should also be an option for exchanging a letter, like in One Lunch Man

Thanks, knew I was missing something.

I liked Mr. Rodgers growing up, and now I love Daniel Tiger (an animated version). With my little one it's always nice to have a positive influence she can look to in learning how to handle certain childhood situations like potty training and sharing your toys etc. I'd love to take her to a Daniel tigers neighborhood movie in theatres. 

I was interested in seeing Frozen 2, but the reviews are showing it being more suited for pre-teens due to its darker content, rather than a 3yo. So I'll be holding off for now. Not sure what else is showing right now.

that doesn't mean he can fight any better. Not being able to use your arms at 100% is a pretty big weakness.  I think they might be able to find someone like recovery girl, who can fully heal his arms again. 

Now that's a thought. Didn't she already heal him though?

Well we don't usually cuddle our turkeys like that, for starters

I get my in laws and immediate family over and we all contribute a few dishes for our thanksgiving feast. It really is just an excuse to eat like a king for a night.

Growing up, I would wake up to my family in the kitchen already cooking the turkey while I turned on Buffy the Vampire Slayer to watch the thanksgiving episode, which FX never failed to air for me each thanksgiving (until I bought the set).

This year I have the ham, collards, deviled eggs, rolls, candied yams, parsnip soup, and mashed potatoes to prepare. Everyone else gets to make the rest when they show up tomorrow. Of course some things are being made ahead.

Once everyone is over, we will chat and snack, drink some wine, and enjoy each others company til dinner. At dinner we usually ask "what are you thankful for this year" but I want to change that to " whats your favorite memory with someone here?"

After dinner, we have pies and everyone is so full and sleepy. 

Canute has finally reached his potential to be king. Cant wait to see how this transformation will effect Thorfinn (or not).

I cant see Deku making it as a adult. That doctor told him if he gets injured again, he might never uses his arms again. I can see Deku passing on all for one to someone else in a few years. 

Actually since then he has learned how to use his power in a new way, instead of being just like all might, he has altered his attacks and focusing more on using his legs instead of putting everything into his punches.

(general question here, are we supposed to put things into spoiler things in this thread or is it implied that it will contain spoilers and no spoiler things needed?)

I added a spoiler tag prefix to this discussion. Anyone entering should know to be caught up with the currently airing. That's what this sub forum is intended for.. Keeping current and discussing the latest, so go right ahead.

As stated in the title, try adding, exchanging, or removing 1 letter from the title of an anime to make it a bad title.

For example:

Dragon Balls

@Endynyp cross stitches? That sounds relaxing.

Currently as of 11/13/19 I am watching "Back Street Girls" which as of Episode 10 is amusing and a fun little no thinker.

Looked funny.

I'm rewatching Yuu Yuu Hakusho

Just started Jojos bizarre adventure

Continuing MHA season 4, and Vinland Saga weekly.

Nice to meet you too, glad we both like Makomo

I added you on MAL. Makomo is so cute, and mysterious. Most of Demon Slayer girls are good girls tho.
