The OG and Prequel Star Wars films alongside the first three Indie films are really nostalgic for me. Then there's the first two Terminators, Predator and a bunch of Arnold Schwarzenegger other films like Total Recall, Kindergarden Cop, Commando and that one were he's trying get the toy for his son on Christmas. 

No idea why his films are the epitome of my childhood movies.

Can someone give us a unpopular anime to watch?

I showed a friend an anime called Cipher. It highly regarded as one of the worst anime ever created. I was in stiches in the end as he sat angry and confused over the twenty minutes he'd never get back. Best part is its on youtube so anyone can watch the Room of Anime if they want. 

So many to choose, damn. Okay some honourable mentions have to go to Monster, Steins Gate, Madoka Magica Rebellion, Fate Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works second opening and Ergo Proxy. However my number 1 all-time favourite as got to be. Psycho Pass season 1 opening 2. 

The choose of song, presentation, and themes present are 10/10

Just used the git hub link, its really simple to use turns out, all you got to do is click on one of the empty tabs and then choose one of the three search engines, click either manga, anime or character and then type in the name for what you're looking for. I'll upload my test and the links already posted in my early comment. 

I guess mind would be;

Monster, Ergo Proxy, Wolfs Rain, Fate Zero and Psycho Pass.

Mines just a shelf but this is what I've grabbed so far. It's a random assortment of DVDs and Blue-rays. Also if anyone knows we're I can find the monster dvds without selling both my kidneys. That series is awesome but impossible to find online. 

I only watch dubs

There templates online, I used clip studio paint to make mine. 

Found this on GitHub;

Been listening to Forever Lost by Myth and Food and Colourful by ClariS. Cause I finished Rebellion and Dawn of the Deep Soul very, very recently. 

Those songs hit real hard after you watch those films. 

Okay so I've seen this trend on a few other sites and forums. But can't see it on here. Older users likely know what an anime 3x3 is but fir new users it's basically your nine top anime shows that shows off your taste in anime arranged in a three by three. 

I'll go first; 

Akane and Kogami from Psycho Pass are a good duo, even if they don't always see eye to eye  Shirou and Saber from Fate Stay Night also make a good duo as they fight there way through the grail war. 

There's proberbly a few more like Reg and Rico from Made in Abyss. But can't think of many more. 

Made In Abyss + Dawn of the Deep Soul

Puella Magi Madoka Magica + Rebellion 

Re-watched - Psycho Pass Season 1

Heroic Age of Arslan

Fate Stay Night (Studio Deen)

Unpopular opinion: I don't watch subs

Finished the series tonight alongside the third film (skipped over the two recap films). The third film was crazy good, the show had gotten darker towards the end but nothing prepared me for Bondrewd. 

He's now one of my favourite characters now, holy shit he was next levels evil.

Yet still the greatest dad of all time. 

I heard on here the second season announced won't continue with the same characters. However for me that film was totally satisfying and if that's were Rico and Regs story is left off. 

Not really anything else to say, I don't want to ruin anything so thus post been spoiler free, but if you haven't wanted made in abyss, got put off by it more 'light hearted' start - you got to sit through it for the third film cause that shit was straight up epic.

Lol that’s what you thought of when I said “dated”  The example I was thinking of is I rated the original Space Battleship Yamato (Star Blazers) from 1974 a 10, but only rate Fate Zero a 9. My reasoning being, Star Blazers was my introduction to “anime”. 

Yeah my foray into anime was Fate/Zero so I put that at a 10, I've never seen the old yamato but the remake I've seen. I gave the first season of the reboot a nine, cause it was really good.

And I’m extremely stingy when it comes to 9s & 10s. It’s kind of hard for me to score shows that feel dated or clearly aren’t high quality, but I still like them alot. I’ve been trying to tweak my scores a bit recently.

It might seem werid, but I'm often forgiving of older shows - such as Fate Stay Night by Studio Deen. Whilst it doesn't hold a candle to Fate Zero, UBW or HF by Ufotable got a show made in 2006 it still very well made. 

Obviously if somthing was trash in its time, it can still be trash today. Such as Mars of Destruction or Cipher. Those are god awful. And not just cause there old.

Fate Zero is absolutely epic. I started Stay/Night before watching Zero, but set it aside for reasons I don’t remember. I really need to watch it in it’s entirety & UBW as well.

 I also watched some of FGO, but it didn’t really seem to re-capture what I loved about Zero.

Fate Zero was the only series in the Fate Franchise penned by Gen Urobuchi. Nasu write the stay night visual novel which were adapted into three anime. You got Fate Stay Night by Studio Deen and the film version of unlimited Blade Works. 

Ufotable did the Unlimited Blade Works series and Heaven Feel trilogy of films. 

 I've liked all the Fate I've watched even Shafts Fate Extra, but Zero is clearly the best in the bunch followed closely by Unlimited Blade Works - the animation in that show blows my mind.

 I don't know why i put that score even if i really liked fate/zero .

8 isn't a bad score, it still means a great show (I think) I just personally elevate Zero over Apocrypha. 

Might be because it was written by Gen Urobuchi. 

Or because it got my favourite waifu I. It. Probably a bit of both. 

Currently listening to my anime songs playlist, currently on Wolf Rains Strangers. That anime is full of awesome songs in my opinion.

Songs that really give the whole show its own ambience and atmosphere.

They just aired episode 1,000 

They’re planning to wrap it up in a couple years last I heard. Also heard Netflix is planning a live-action adaption. Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen given that Cowboy Bebop would have been one of the easier anime to adapt imo & it still turned out atrocious.

When I first heard about the cowboy bebop adaption I knew it would suck. There's so much that can go wrong with adapting animation into live action. 

Also 1000 episodes, your basically just over a tenth in. Personally that is way to many episodes for me. Plus who knows how many episodes will be added once it finishes in a few years time.

I only watched around 13 episodes of Bleach & didn’t even make it to double-digits on Naruto. Don’t plan on revisiting either of them. I made it to around 150 episodes of One Piece. 

150 episodes, damn that's a lot. Is that a sizable chunk of the show or just a fraction of it.

I think the reason I haven't watched those shows is not just there size but likely the reason you couldn't get to double digits on Naruto.

From what I've heard Naruto is indented for younger audiences, which explains both it's length and repetitiveness and it's one note op characters.

Some of my favourite anime are My Hero Academia, Fairy Tail, Trigun, and Inuyasha! 

I've been meaning to watch Trigun, I only saw the first two or so episodes on Netflix's. But it looks good. 

I'm also new to the AF, been on here for the best part of two whole days.

I used to be more of a completionist myself, but since discovering streaming I’m more willing to drop series or at least set them aside to maybe give another chance later.

Yeah I don't stream anime much, but I never truly got into streaming in general. I think it's because there's so much choice there's no choice.

 The biggest one that comes to mind is One Piece. I absolutely can no longer stand that series (even though my fiance is literally obsessed with the series).

I haven't watched any of the big three, but knowing there size and the fact people have said there's lots of filler I decided to not make an attempt. I didn't see the point of watching thirty plus episodes losing my patience and dropping it.

23 started casually watching anime about three years ago, got into anime more seriously when I was 22. Not sure why it took me that long, but it is what it is. 

Berserk (1997) has a very happy ending.
