It’s definitely the standout series of the season IMO. The violence is downright brutal, but it still maintains a sense of humor.
And Sukuna is one of the best villains in a long time, given developments in the most recent episode, have to wonder what he’s scheming. Loving the fact all the characters are quirky. Currently looking for a Daru ... I mean Panda-senpai image/gif to use as an avy  

Enjoy your time off

NC.. But close enough yea we get lots of rain as well. 

That...was way closer than I thought .

I should get myself a new umbrella since I lost my other one somehow, else I might really end up like in the gif.

Just woke up to a dusting. Not predicting much (maybe an inch today), but enough to be a nuisance.  And if all the rain we had this winter was snow, I’d still be digging out, so I don’t miss it at all.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! ^^

I don't celebrate Christmas. That is probably why I'm not so busy during this time of the year.

How about you, busy too? 

I don't celebrate it either  

But I'm busy with work stuff. You got holiday/winter break?

Holidays start next week but I managed to settle most of the things in beforehand thus am not too busy so close to holidays. 

Gl with your work stuff

You may be able to come across a good used bike @Illusion of Terra I have a habit of finding nice ones all the time that people abandon at thrift stores. But I do live in a vacation town, so perhaps that may have something to do with it.

@Muco I love riding mountain bike trails around here! Its so much fun, but I'm definitely out of shape and I can tell when I'm on one. Challenging, but I also love doing jumps over the outdoor obstacle course. You have one near you?

@Seshi Unfortunately, we don't have any mountains nearby but we do have huge forests and the roads are rather rocky here. You have to be wary of the sludge in this season since raining will be a common thing but this makes it more challenging and exciting to take out your bike and ride it in the forest. There is also a road that leads to a lookout tower from which you can look upon the trees and even see a glimpse of the lake.

We don’t have mountains close by either, they just call it mountain biking when you’re on a “mountain bike” and going on a trail here designed to mimic a mountain path. It’s fun, there’s cliffs you can fall off of if you’re not careful, but it wouldn’t be like falling off an actual mountain

The problem with the seasonal ones is not many people watch a lot of series as they air. Participation on the  annual ones is usually higher because it allows more time to watch and a bigger pool of candidates.

I think the members came up with it because they felt CR’s “official” awards show was  too commercial/main stream. Case in point: CR “official” anime of the year 2018 was Devilman Crybaby (a Netflix series no less ). The form based one was A Place Further than the Universe. Hard to imagine a bigger style gap.

I think the pretext of seasonal topics should be to give the people who are watching less anime a hint of what anime to take into consideration. It's actually a good transition into the annual threads but that's just my 2 cents on this. Unless there is no or a small amount of participation.

I have "A Place Further than the Universe" on my watch-list but haven't gotten around watching it yet.

@Muco If you’re interested we can work on this together for and “end of year” awards 

You want me to eat my own kind is le shock lol and maybe its a glitch that your having or it likes the status you made

I guess no salary increase and no potatoes for you either.

You've a time span of 1 week to figure out the mystery behind the non-delete-able status. 

Does sad kitty face

I thought it was a tag for my favourite anime "Attack on Titten"

Twitter & Youtube algorithm are slowly becoming alike.

Demon Slayer was also trending in the USA during the last couple days due to the 19th episode.

Ohhh! Okay. I thought you meant Haikyuus Art. Since it wouldn’t be the first time that I’ve heard that the characters look like baby alligators 

@Muco

Hanebado does have some character exploration and development. And it looks like Battery is on Prime so I’ll give it a try when I start Vinland Saga.

@SeshiOh I thought always Hinata looked like a squirrel at best. 

@Ohiotaku I hope you will enjoy Vinland Saga and Battery (it's also geared towards slice of life fans)

Two birds with one stone ~

Sorry about that. For some reason that I'm not aware of, I was IP banned for a very long time. Hope you're still around to see this, because I am finally back. 

Good to see you back 

Thank you so much, Muco ^-^ 

It's been quite enjoyable.

I liked how you added an additional sub-forum for only airing anime. It's much better this way.

I will open a thread about both if nobody else did yet as they are fairly well made and deserve some credit, imo. 

As far as anime from this season, there haven’t been many threads opened here, and those two certainly weren’t added yet.

That would be awesome 

Oh shot, I forgot to make one for Dororo. I will have to do it later this day

Winter is my favourite season. Pretty soon snow will be falling and staying. I say in about three weeks. 

I dislike when the ways are frozen and you have to move with caution in order to not slip on the ice.

But other than that, I like winter as well.  Last year snow fell down in late December, let's see how it goes this year.
