  1. As the title implies, what are some of your favorite openings and endings for this summer? Do you favor them due to the song, visual or content? 

    Anyway, lets dive into it and my favorite openings of summer are from Vinland Saga and Fire Force. Only Ending that I liked was from To the Abandoned Sacred Beasts.

    I am gonna leave this for the upcoming posts. Anyways lets get back to the rating.

    Been binge-watching Diamond no Ace so will have to look into this sport anime at some point. It's sadly not my cup of tea but certainly good enough for a rating of 7/10.

    Diamond no Ace - Grow Stronger Day by Day

     

     

  3. Was this not available before the platform changed? 

    Afaik, there was this option where you could tick a checkbox and get notified whenever followers post or create a thread in any or on a specific forum section. It's possible to narrow down this with more options like "only follow content from anime section" so you don't get over flooded with notifications. I would probably follow the anime section directly if in case i wanted to engage in discussions and would want to stay up to date.

  4. Vinland Saga. Fire Force, The Kings Avatar 2 (not released but seen trailer) and Cop Craft are the ones I will be looking out for this season.

    Everything else I've seen so far has not caught my interest yet. I have to re-watch all parts of DanMachi first before watching season 2 but it's on my watchlist.

  5. I found this commercial on yt the other day and it's apparently advertising products associated with the company Lotte. (a multinational conglomerate) 

    It's the first anime commercial so far that I know of which isn't published directly from an anime studio. (could've been made by an anime studio)

     

  6. I prefer both actually. These are the things I look into when choosing male or female character.

    Obviously this is a very difficult and complicated process I have to go through in order to find the character of my choosing.

    Male - badass, cool, carefree, smart.

    Female - badass, cool, carefree, smart, pretty.

  7. Ending was decent, story-wise it was okayish and visual-wise it was to my liking, all things considered 9/10 from me.

    I don't know what to say about the last scene, does Dororo and Hyakkimaru meet again? What is his father going to do now after his wive and only heir disappears all of a sudden? There was the mention about the beginning of the warring state era, will they continue the story with now Hyakkimaru taking a major role? (didn't read the manga so it could just be the end) Dororo seems to found a solution in how he will use the money he inherited from his father. I like the fact that his father thought for a moment, how it might have been if he didn't feed Hyakkimaru to the Demons. Needless to say, his father was kind of a demon too, in my eyes at least, so telling him to "live on as a human" and "don't you become a demon either" was quite fitting.

    I hope they bring out an OVA or something, the ending was decent but had a cliffhanger.

  8. Who is in your opinion the one who laid down the foundation of anime as it is today?  Do you think Hayao Miyazaki and Mikoto Shinkai revolutionized the way how anime is perceived today? 

    There are quite a few questions I would like to ask but who do you consider to be the most valuable contributor to anime? 

    I have named both of the names that I humbly consider to be valuable contributors but listening to anime openings frequently, I came to know another contender known as Hiroyuki Sawano. He was involved in several projects, including AoT, Guilty Crown and Blue Exorcist and more. Aimer as well as Lisa are two vocalists known amongst anime opening enthusiasts.

    @Muco yea there are too many loose ends in the story overall. I don’t know if it follows the source material, since I haven’t read the manga - have you?

    In Adv of Sinbad - he was my fav character, but he isn’t my favorite in the older series’ - that would have to be the adorable little Aladdin ^-^

    I have not read the manga yet. Usually I don't read the source material (manga) unless my curiosity gets the better of me. (which happens rarely xD)

    Let's hope they will continue with the anime adaptation in this century so we can get to see the grown up Aladdin soon. Also Hakuryu x Morgiana, despite the odds of it not happening.

  10. I would have to go with the Magi: Adventure of Sinbad. Mostly due to him being my favorite character along with Yunan in the magi series. Although, it's only showing the beginning of Sinbad's journey to form his own nation, which you eventually see in Season 1/2.  If I were to be honest, watching Magi: Adventure of Sinbad first would be more reasonable than starting off with the 1/2 season. There are many questions left unanswered in the first 2 seasons, like what is the seven sea alliance and how did that green lizard (Drakon) end up that way.

    Off-topic: I feel the same way for Black Butler, been binge watching both seasons without doing any research whatsoever and after the ending of season 2, I felt no motivation to watch Book of Circus which aired after season 2. (season 2 was just meh) Could have been better to release Book of Circus before the former.

  11. I am in love with the rain scenes, while a few sun rays trickle through the clouds. Garden of the Words was a masterpiece with the rain theme but this is going to top it even more.

    I shouldn't expect anything less from Makoto Shinkai, his movies reflect thoughts, emotions and life circumstances in a more relateable and realistic way. 

    This is the english version of the new trailer, if you are interested.

  12. Dororo is slowly coming to an end and this episode was a great opening for the last 2 remaining.

     

    I can't help but dislike the younger brother. I understand his position as the lords son but how blind one must be to try to kill his own brother. It's obviously impossible for him to win a fight against Hyakkimaru. He foolishly made the mistake to attack him head-on and lost his eye in consequence. Considering they even ganged up on him later on and still lost. 

    All of the people who advised Hyakkimaru to live his life peacefully without getting his body back (taking revenge), for example his foster father lack any empathy for him.

    As far as I can recall, Tohomaru was against conspiring with the demons and now he contradicts himself. By the way the demon horse reminds me somehow to Rapidash from Pokemon.

  13. I love strawberry Ice as well @Seshi. I actually went out with my bro to a strawberry field and picked a whole basket full of strawberries last summer. Some were as big as my hand palms.

    I have already had my share of strawberry ice for this year haha and summer just started. As long the current heat doesn't get any worse, i will stay away from any sort of ice.
