What anime are you watching now?

[Ohayotaku]

I understand Re:Zero season 3 is on hiatus until February, so will probably attempt to binge up to the current ep over the extended holiday weekend after the family gathering is over. No way I’m facing the Black Friday crowds, especially with temperatures expected to plummet.

I've been rewatching Seraphim Call. An interesting series from 1999 comprising 11 stand alone stories set in the same futuristic city in 2010 (!) featuring the lives of 11 different girls. The episodes are a bit of a mixed bag some with very clever and inventive storytelling others a bit plain but all are interesting to watch.

started watching Cowboy Bebop 

[Ohayotaku]

Watched the first Mononoke movie (Karakasa) on Netflix. It’s a follow up to the 2007 anime series which is a supernatural mystery (which itself was a follow up to the Bakaneko storyline in  Ayakashi: Japanese Classic Horror (2006)). The most notable aspect is the psychedelic art style & animation. The story can be a bit hard to follow but i enjoyed it, probably because I enjoyed some other series with a similar setting/themes in recent years (Raven of the Inner Palace, Yatagarasu: The Raven Does Not Choose Its Master). There’s another movie in the works & sounds like it could be a sequel (Kame as a returning character?)

Watched through episode 8 of Re:Zero season 3 (episode 1 was actually 3 times the length of a  normal one). Was surprised at how easily I was able to get back into the story considering season 2 was almost 4 years ago & the size of it’s supporting cast. Definitely a lot going on with no less than 4 Sin Arch-bishops involved in the latest plot. Now waiting for next year for the season to continue.

Watched the first couple episodes of Yakuza Fiancé, but didn’t really like the characters or the art, so doubt I’ll continue it. Also watched the first couple episodes of Nina, The Starry Bride and liking it better.

Finished watching Welcome to Demon School Iruma-kun's first 3 seasons a few days ago. It's a surprisingly wholesome series unlike a lot of shows of it's kind, and was kind of a breath of fresh air in a sense too. Season 4 was announced recently, but I think I might continue forward with the manga instead of waiting for that.

Now I'm considering what to watch next.

Agreed: Welcome to Demon School Iruma-kun is an awesome anime! It's full of friendship dynamics and there are a lot of inside jokes for watchers like the MC being insanely good dodger, a useful ability that comes with being a meek-natured human.

Season 1 & 2 minor spoilers:

Season 1 & 2 minor spoilers:

Loved the evil-cycle arc but as much as I want to see more like a lot of fans, it's good that it's so rare, otherwise it will be less special like what Dragonball Z did to super saiyan form.

And, Kalego-sensei being Irumaa's familiar will always make me rofl.

Agreed! I really appreciate that Iruma's classmates besides Asmodeus, Clara, and Ameri actually got focus too, and became good characters in their own right after season 1 which surprised me.

I want to respond to the spoilers part, but I don't know how to hide them here yet lol.

I've just started rewatching Clannad, which is my favourite series. It's a whole year since I last watched it.

I also agree that it was fun watching Iruma actually go after something he wanted for once during his evil cycle, and it is also heartwarming when you realize it wasn't just for himself, but his classmates too. But I definitely prefer normal Iruma too, and like you said "evil" Iruma wouldn't be quiet so especial if he kept showing up every few episodes like Super Saiyan (it's sad to see that form being reduced to a basic ability these days).

Also Kalego being Iruma's familiar is actually quiet funny, still got a chuckle out of me towards the end of season 3

Clannad is one of those series that definitely holds a special in my heart, and that I look back on with great fondness too. I should get around to rewatching it at some point myself since I haven't watched it in a long time.

Blue Exorcist I've always been told to watch it and haven't yet so now I am.

Going to see Interstella 5555 at the movies this evening. This will be the first time I’ve seen it in it’s entirety instead of just clips on Youtube. In spite of my introduction to anime being some of Leiji Matsumoto’s work (Star Blazers, Galaxy Express 999)

[Ohayotaku]

Just noticed that CR added some special  (OAD) eps of Golden Kamuy, so planning to watch them tonight.

They also FINALLY added Star Blazers 2205 OVA series, so will try to watch them before year’s end

Right now I almost finish The Flowers of Hard Blood, four episode left I have to say this a good anime.

[Zeref]

I'm watching Maid Sama entirely by accident since my roommate is watching it  but I've thought it's a cute anime thus far. 

[Otaku]

Lovely Complex it's a funny romance about a tall girl and a short boy

[Animedragon]

Finished rewatching Starship Operators, an interesting sci-fi series with an unusual story concept along with space battles, drama, action and political intrigue.

[Ohayotaku]

A lot of the Fall seasonals are wrapping up,  so I’ve started watching Danmachi (Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?) V. It’s starting out with a much more comedic tone, especially compared to last season.

I’m also catching up on Demon Lord 2099, which I’m finding to be more entertaining than I expected.

[Clayton]

I just Saw Despicable Me 4

[Ohayotaku]

Also just started Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Disturbance (2nd season of the remake).
