short term: Pluto (Astro Boy reimagined by Naoki Urasawa of Monster fame) 

Longer term: Fate Strange/Fake

lots of other sequels I plan to watch this upcoming season (Dr. Stone, Spy x Family, Reincarnated as a Slime OVA, Goblin Slayer, Ancient Magus Bride, Shield Hero, Eminence in Shadow, Faraway Paladin, Saint’s Magic Power is Omnipotent) but my expectations are more reserved. And of course JJK’s Shibuya Arc will carry over.

I've heard of Astro Boy, but more over Naoki Urasawa is awesome so I'll defiantly be watching this show.

The sequel to Rebellion

So far I haven't seen any lists of other upcoming series or movies.

Yeah it seems this year I've been blessed with a few interesting movies and shows coming out. 

Okay so this year several shows and movies have peaked my interest;

Obviously I watched Whispers of Dawn and am now hyped out my mind for the coming series.

Psycho Pass Providence - I'm gutted I couldn't find a cinema showing the film close to where I lived, but I am going to watch this movie the most I get; 

This anime caught my eyes a while back, Lazarus - a team up of Mappa, Shinichirō Watanabe and Chad Stahelski, defiantly caught my attention. 

I'm not as big a Gundam head as @MarathonGuy1337 and likely others I spoken to on here and elsewhere, but Gundam 'Requiem for Vengeance' 

And finally, its finally here. The sequel to rebellion, I am so pumped and damn the visuals look awesome. 

Anyway those are my anime I'm looking forward to coming out soon.

What are you guys and gals excited for?

So since the last post 

Girls Und Panzer Girls Und Panzer Der Film Girls Und Panzer Der Final (Part 1 and Part 2)

I don't know why but following the Tien Shinhan Tournament Saga I ended up watching all of Girls Und Panzer from the first show though to the latest film, it was actual really fun but that's maybe because I'm as much a historian as a weeb

Arion 

This was a weird but really enjoyable film sad it never got a English dub as a lot of my friends won't watch unless its dubbed, enjoyed the fusion of Greek Myth with the Ragnarök story but still its just one more of those forgotten anime gems to add to the list

Castle in the Sky 

I really enjoyed Castle In the Sky reminding me a lot of Nausicaa which I personally loved. 

I also then watched two other studio Giblie films; Howls Moving Castle and Kiki's Delivery Service

However I don't think I liked these two as much (personal taste) They where still fun films just not as good as Castle in the Sky IMO

Dragon Ball The King Piccalo Saga

One more Saga to go an I've finished the first Dragon Ball, the King Piccalo saga was itself amazing the plot felt real tight and the development of the villains and characters was awesome. Love the battles between Goku and King Piccalo.

Project Aika

This is the most retro OVA anime ever. Started watching it about a week ago making though the first 4 episodes but then got distracted by a different anime all together.

Kill La Kill

This was nothing short of epic, I loved this series almost as much as Gurren Lagann but still nothing but praise for Kill La Kill it was little short of a masterpiece

Really want to re-watch it already or a show like it at least...

maybe time to re-watch Gurren Lagann 

Re;Zero

Someone @MediaConsumesMe and all I can say and I think he will agree with me on this one. Incel the anime. The MC is a fucking creep.

That's more or less the anime I have watched.

That said their is one more that I'm planning to watch come charismas no mater what else is on the agenda

The perfect anime for the holidays #GUNDAMXMASTHEANIME

Gotta agree, Re;Zero main character defiantly has some werido vibes. I honestly don't really remember it much, it was back in 2021 I watched this.

For me I'm closing in on the end of the Dark Tournament Arc in Yu Yu Hakusho

So far so good, I've really been enjoying the series. Whilst overall I don't know if the series can beat HxH I will say this tournament arc is more interesting than Heaven Arena. I think HA is good, it just it spends more time training and the stakes don't feel very massive until Gon vs Hisoka. Whereas Toguro and his team, along with the entire Tournament being in enemy territory adds to the sense of danger Yusuka and his crew are facing up against. 

I also did re-watch Kill la Kill with @MarathonGuy1337

Finally I started recently Darker than Black. I generally like Studio Bones anime so I'm looking forward to it. November 11th seems pretty cool.

That's pretty much all I've been watching new, a lot of re-watches but those having progressed that much as it in a group and all the group watchers need to be present. 

@MarathonGuy1337 Gotta concur with the Shriou Emiya pick 

For another Fate MC

Kiritsugu Emyia

And who could forget the legendary King of Knights herself

Moving away from Fate; 

Shinya Kogami 

Also Marathon can't believe you forgot you're best boy;

Amuro Ray

Kiba from Wolfs Rain

I'm not sure who's the real main character but Gon and Killua are awesome

Yusuke Urameshi is also a pretty badass dude. 

That's all the one's I can think of at any rate. 

I'm now rewatching Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, Psycho Pass and Fate/Unlimited Blade Works. A lot of what I rewatch I generally do as I like to show friends anime I thought was good. But I also do find it comfy rewatching something I really liked. There's no uncertainty of it being disappointing if its a 8 out of 10 or up. 

Oldest one I know of is Yachiyo who's college age. 

But most are usually middle schoolers I think.

Whats the genre?

Its a drama/action series set in prohibition america, and follows a man seeking revenge against the mob. Its only 12 parts so a nice easy watch. It is an anime original series, so it very well paced and told. Animation is a little spotty at times, but its really cool none the less. 

91 Days was great, can't believe I slept on that show so long. 

Okay Vanitas season 2 finished, not sure what I'm gonna watch next. Phantom Requiem for the Phantom, 91 Days or continue with Yu Yu Hakusho not sure. 

Irisfield is very girly, and a little airheaded so she's likely my favourite. 

And who says only ladies can be bimbos!

Ohh, ok. That clears it up more. Sorry, with my autism a lot of things require simpler explanations and reiterations of detail(s). It sucks, but processing things is unfortunately not once of my strong suits. Sorry though. But I do agree, anti-heroes like that would be pretty awesome to me, too. I just can't really think of any though. With all the anime I've got, there;s usually clear-cut villains and heroes. With the exception of Hellding. But I still need to watch Ultimate, though I really like the other version, too.

Oh no man that's fine, I did look up Anti-Heroes and my god there is like three different definitions. Tragic Heroes are another interesting trope in fiction. Tragic heroes are those who no fault of there own find themselves destroyed and beaten down at the end of the story. So think Job from the Bible. Anti-Heroes are defined as an inverse of the Tragic Hero, often no born as a noble or important figure they are the low borne man. Who through there own faults end up leading themselves to destruction.

I don't know about the morally grey. Anti-heroes I love though. As long as there's at least some redeeming qualities or I can relate to the character, that's usually what makes or breaks the decision of liking him (or her) when all's said and done, at least for me.

I'm glad there's so much diversity in this topic. More than I was expecting.

The morally grey I would define as characters who don't met the requirements of Anti-Heroes but also can't be called Heroes or Villains - so yeah like Anti-Heroes but a little boarder a term.

Sounds like an interesting cast of selections.

I've watched a few anime now, but most the ones I watch generally have a balance of villains, heroes, the morally grey and anti-heroes. 

I like a healthy mix, so I like Heroic characters such as Artoria or Astolfo but I also like villainous characters like Kirei Kotomine and Shogo Makashima. I also really like characters who are walk the fine line between hero and villain like Reinhart and Archer. 

Fate - all the series are generally under or around 25 episodes. Broken into two parts. So you could just pick one of those - highly recommend Fate/Zero and Unlimited Blade Works. Also Psycho Pass is only 22 episodes for the first season, and that series is fantastic. 

I mean like anime openings, people upload on YouTube and its inspired several watches. Wolfs Rain, Case Study of Vanitas... among others. 

Grand Order, Extella Link those are my two... as those are the only ones I've completed. 

Gonna continue with Vanitas now, currently on episode 5 or season 2. Odd thing was the recap episode has multiple entries on MAL. No idea why. 

You know I rarely read the description for anime. I mostly go by openings I see. Or if it's considered similar to something I already like.

You know I had a plan to go to LA... for Strange Fake. Didn't end up going, as I was working up to that date, and then the price of a ticket across the sea. Been looking at more local UK cons, Anime League seems to have a few dotted all over the country over the year. But that's all I can see online, there might be more. What conventions do you guys if you are in the UK head to?

While many people believe that wearing wigs or hats causes baldness, this is actually a MYTH! Wearing clean hats and wigs will not damage hair follicles as long as they are not too tight. If the hat or wig is too tight, it can result in Traction Alopecia

Yeah, I looked into it. Ha ha, so I'm all good. Turns out what I thought was hair loss was in reality just... my hair being flatter than usual. I don't wear hats, so I never really compress my hair. So it normally poufy, but after wearing a wig it flatter. 

Kirei Kotomine - he seems a cool dude to chill and have some spicy curry with. 

Shogo Makishima - I think he and I would agree on many things. 

Hi all, long time no post, my old PC fan bit the dust and I never got the account set up on the new PC. Luckily got a replacement fan, as I need the Old PC back for files and stuff I still had locked away on the memory drive.

I don't really remember the last thing I'd been watching around the time the PC crashed, but this month watched Fate/Strange Fake when it released and then watched the Sinner of the System movies right in time for Psycho Pass Providence coming out start of next month in UK theaters.
