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.

I'm pretty new to anime, so I've only cracked over fifty shows, but my taste I think is pretty strong.

If you happen to see scores that doesn't make any sense please tell me

Okay, only score I saw that confused me a little was Fate Apocrypha and Fate Zero. 

Your Fate Apocrypha scores fine, personally I feel it often gets too much flak and is a great show. However personally Fate Zero score and writing along with its lore compelling narrative themes and motives elevate it above Apocrypha. 

Feel free to check over my list and see if there's anything you find perculior. 

Also check out Fate Unlimited Blade Works, that show is awesome.

So I make a habit of completing shows, however there was one show I started watching. And I dropped it, it's the only show I've ever dropped. 

It was called Kokoro Connect. For some reason the show just started grating on me, and I stopped watching it in favour of another show. 

So what shows have you guys on here started and stopped watching, at what was the reason you stopped watching the show? 

Got to agree, personally am not a fan of slice and life set in schools too. Madoka Magica series and its third film Rebellion however were exceptions to that general rule I find myself abiding by. 

Then again those were both written by Gen Urobuchi and well if you've watched Psycho Pass or Fate Zero you can guess why that's the exception. 

So I make a habit of completing shows, however there was one show I started watching. And I dropped it, it's the only show I've ever dropped.

Is it worth another attempt or is it best to leave it be. 

Edit: I must of hit the wrong thread. Meant to be anime discussions.

Psycho Pass season 1 opening 2 is personally one of my favourites, I can jam out to this song anytime. 

nother great choice is the second opening of Fate Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works. 

And finally the opening song to Madoka Magica Rebellion was awesome and the visuals only add to it.

Damn, Fallout was a good series. 2, New Vegas and 3 are my favorites but I do love the tidbits of lore out in the wasteland. Great username.

Personal favourite would be 1 and NV, what's the meaning of your user name. If it's anime related I have no way of telling cause I am a noob.

but the 3rd film was too soul-crushing for my tastes

That's my taste, love a dark anime. It's why I started really getting into anime after Fate/Zero.

Welcome to the Anime Forums.

Psycho Pass, Berserk, Monster? Good taste. 

You could try Ergo Proxy, Paranoia Agent, Death Parade or Tokyo Ghoul if you haven't yet. 

There's also B: the Beginning but it's less talked about, so I don't know if it will interest you. 

These are mainly psychological thrillers, supernatural/horror types of anime. 

Great to have you on the forum. Reach out if you need anything! Lots of great people here.

I've watched Ergo, I have paranoia agent on dvd just need to get around to watch it. I will also look into the begining. 

I've seen star blazers, but the others I might check out cheers

There was an old two part retrospective on the Fallout Series back in the day, the studio behind that short production was called 'Media Consumes Me', I always thought it sounded cool. 

Plus it was one of the first videos I watched that actually got me thinking critically about somthing I really enjoyed.

Made in Abyss and Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood

Currently just started watching Made in Abyss, and Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, like both shows so far, however after those shows I'm trying to work out what's next. 

Currently I've watched Madoka Magica, Psycho Pass, Fate Zero, Monster and a bunch of others I won't list for brevity sake just so you can get a clear picture of what I like.

Cheers in advance. 

I've been into anime now for about a year, since covid 19 hit. Just looking for few people to talk about my new found interest, and talk characters, plots and themes in the shows I've grown to enjoy over the last year. 

Always looking for new shows, as I've hit a snag in what to watch as of late.
