I liked it. can recommend it. Will now start watching Lycoris recoil

[Animedragon]

I've finished watching The Pet Girl of Sakurasou. This is a slice of Life series that follows the lives, loves and aspirations of a group of high school students who all live together in Sakurasou (Sakura Hall). Sakurasou is the dormitory where their school places those students that the school authorities see as trouble makers and misfits. Misfits they may be, but trouble makers they are not, eccentric would be a better way to describe them.

The artwork and animation are good quality as is the soundtrack. The series starts off on a slightly uneven path as if it can't decide what it's supposed to be and at one point veers close to Harem Anime territory, but pulls back fairly quickly. Once it's over the uncertainness of the first few episodes the series settles down and becomes a fairly serious story, although not one without some comedy elements. I think the mix of serious and light-hearted scenes is one of the strong points of the series. Each character has his, or her, goal in life and the story follows their efforts both as individuals and as a group as they support each other and work together.

Overall, while it did get off to a slow start it quickly developed into a good and interesting series that I'd be happy to watch again.

I watched it. I thought it was not a bad series, but not a good one either.  Some of the set-piece gun battles made no sense. The worst thing was the final battle with the chief bad guy, it doesn't matter if he's a human, a cyborg or a robot nothing is going to survive having enough lead shot poured into them to kill an entire infantry regiment, be thrown off a tower block, and then come back fighting several times over.

It's certainly not a series I'd watch again.

I assume you are talking about Lycoris recoil and not spoiling my new serie?

But yes, Lycoris is only the 3th anime i stopped watching in my 25 years of anime

Yes, it was Lycoris Recoil. I should have made that a bit clearer.

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.

Edit: i already answered this. So ill say that im also watching monster. its very creepy but wholesome too

I've now finished re-watching The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten. A beautifully drawn and animated slice of life series with a wholesome storyline and enjoyable to watch.

But having watched it again I found one thing wrong with it....

... it's too short !!!!!!!!

[Ohayotaku]

The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again Today - episode 11 was definitely the funniest one yet, pretty much laughed non-stop from start to finish. Though sometimes realizing how relatable Saku is makes me want to cry  Level 1 Demon Lord & One Room Hero is still my hidden gem of the season, but this definitely deserves an honorable mention.

I've now finished watching Girls und Panzer. So we have groups of high school girls driving WW2 era tanks and playing a variation of "capture the flag" the object being to disable the opposing team's "flag tank", the battles range over a large area and they use live ammo.
The TV series was good fun to watch and the various battles were interesting and made sense.
The OAV series had too much girls and not enough Panzer, and I found them rather dull and boring.
Then there's the three movies which form one overall storyline. I found the tank battles in the movies difficult to follow, the movies also dispensed with any pretence of realism with the tanks travelling at speeds closer to a rally car than a tank, they also gained the ability jump and perform all sorts of tricks that I somehow don't think a real tank could perform (but hey, they're anime tanks not real real tanks).
I assume there'll be a fourth movie at some point as the third one ended part way through a battle. I guess I'd watch it if it became available on HiDive or CR, but I wouldn't be upset if it didn't.

The Legend of the Legendary Heroes (Densetsu no Yūsha no Densetsu)

[FuzionA]

I’m watching a couple, I transfer what I watch depending what I’m feeling like, right now I got S.A.O 2, one piece, Komi can’t communicate, and little witch academia that I recommended to my little sister but then got hooked on it lol.

[KaiyaSaysHaiya]

yesterday I started watching The Wind Rises! I'll probably finish it tomorrow. I have actually started watching it before with my cousin, but she got bored so we turned it off, haha. Love it, though. Jirō is cool ^^

[Key Visual]

Bastard stupid heavy metal fun!

[Bulletje76]

it would be nice when someone mention an anime that they watch, that they mention wich genre. So i know if it might be something for me. haha just my 2 cents

[Animedragon]

I've been rewatching Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai. It's quite a strange series, although intriguing might be a better word for it. The artwork and animation are of good quality and has a good cast of characters. The storyline is well written, but you need to stay alert as this is a series where you have to pay attention to the story. It could be called a Slice of Life show, but few people will have a life like this, it's more of a drama and romance series with a generous helping of supernatural happenings as the main characters encounter a series of strange events in their lives and work through them to find the resolutions.
Overall this is an enjoyable series, but nowhere near as light-hearted as the title might suggest, indeed the story gets more serious as the series proceeds.

[Ohayotaku]

Finished season 2 of Tokyo Revengers (Christmas Showdown) & have mixed feelings. The fight with  Taiju & Black Dragon dragged on way too long, wasn’t actually interesting & pushed the limits of credibility for a series where characters aren’t supposed to have super powers (except for the time travel trope). But the final 4 eps dealing with the aftermath & setting up the next arc were actually decent, so will probably give the new season a chance when it starts in a couple weeks.

Will finish The Duke of Death & his Maid season 2 and the 1st half of Mushoku Tensei 2 tomorrow.

While I haven't seen this series your comment points out one of my biggest complaints about final battles with the chief bad guy. Yes I know he's the Chief Bad Guy and he's going to be hard to beat, him laughing off the first couple of attacks against him is OK, but for it to happen over and over again and stretches the battle out over almost the whole episode I find it very tedious and strains the credibility of the story and I begin to wonder if the final battle is just filler to stretch out the series run time.

[Animedragon]

I've been rewatching Super Cub. Which is an excellent little Slice of Life series about an orphaned high school girl who finds friendship and adventure after she buys a second-hand Honda Super Cub. This is a quiet and highly enjoyable story that exudes the same vibes as Yuru Camp, but is a totally different story.
The artwork and animation are beautiful and the background music really fits the scenes. The storyline is quite simple, but very well told. Altogether this is a great series to watch after a hard and stressful day at school or work.
