The older I get the less of a draw the HS hatsukoi thing is and this one seemed a bit too Ao Haru Ride-ish and "fluffy" for my tastes. Nevertheless I put it on my list for a later binge. What I saw wasn't bad. Maybe it gets more interesting further in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OraOraOuroboros Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I watched all of "Diary of our Days at the Breakwater" recently. A fun little slice of life show. Also been watching a bit of Hikaru no Go, Mon Colle Knights, and Natsume Yuujin-cho here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly decided to give it another look because it continues to rank well on MAL & not like I actually disliked what I saw. I will say it does a better job than most HS romance series in depicting the characters personalities & interactions. But that’s a double edged sword as I find most HS dramas to be overly angsty & melodramatic. And I tend to prefer characters who are at least somewhat older when it comes to romance/romcom series (Recovery of an MMO Junkie, Science Fell in Love... for example). Fruits Basket (the newer version) is something of an exception as the trauma the characters have been through makes them seem mature beyond their years. And the characterizations are so well done I can’t help but feel emotionally invested in what happens). 25 minutes ago, OraOraOuroboros said: I watched all of "Diary of our Days at the Breakwater" recently.

mechaBD Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Besides watching the anime this season I started re watching some old Gundam series I enjoy. I just finished mobile suit, war in the pocket and 08th ms team. It made me feel young again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extra skater Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Just finished Pacific Rim: The Black. Still deciding what to watch next... I'm considering Gundam UC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohayotaku Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Getting back to Re:Zero’s 2nd season since it concludes this coming week & it’s one of those series I find easier to binge than follow weekly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irsich Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Right now, Fate/Stay night Heaven's Feel- though as they're movies, it is a slow going. Also continuing on Gilgamesh and rewatching Soukyuu no Fafner: Heaven and Earth. Kinda on a Fate watching streak though, so I'll probably move to Fate/Apocrypha before I finish Gilgamesh or Fafner.

Ohayotaku Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Today I watched the first eps of Megalobox: Nomad, Combatants Will be Disparched & Dragon Goes House Hunting. Likely to stay with all three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohayotaku Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 (edited) Just watched a new short omake episode of Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid on Crunchyroll (thankfully only the intro was CGI ). It’s only about a minute long, but still cute & funny. Not sure how many episodes, but supposed to be a new one each week on Wednesdays. Guess they’re trying to hype viewers for season 2 in July.

leinwandname Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Halfway though Wonder Egg Priority. Like it, the music, animation, art style and no character feels out of place, but with shows like this the ending can make or brake it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had high hopes for this one, but personally felt like the story “jumped the shark” after the recap episode & the true “final episode” doesn’t air until June 29th now. It still deserves some credit for standing out from the pack & and as you said the actual ending will impact my final opinion on it, but kinda feeling disappointed right now.

efaardvark Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Tried KanColle but the dub version is simply too cringy to watch. I'll have to find an original version somewhere before I try that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohayotaku Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) Just finished the first episode of Shadows House. Very Tim Burton-esque & definitely one I’m curious about. Edited April 10, 2021 by Ohayotaku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RZ. Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Almost at the end of the first season of Gensoumaden Saiyuki. When I'm done with that I'll be moving on to Otogizoshi and Claymore. Also need to finish up a few shows I started ages ago like Yashahime and Black Clover 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohayotaku Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Started watching the Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba) recap specials as a refresher before going to see the Mugen Train movie friday evening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohayotaku Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 (edited) Saw Kimetsu no Yaiba: Mugen Train over the weekend. From an animation & soundtrack perspective an absolute spectacle & truly impressive. The story seemed a bit lacking though & I felt they laid on the melodrama a bit thick. Personally I felt season 1 had several moments with more emotional impact. Still a worthy follow up & if you plan to watch season 2 when it comes out you should watch the movie first.

2xVEmmallee Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I just started watching GTO; Great Teacher Onizuka. It aired in 1999-2000, and I'm loving it so much. An ex-gangster wants to become a teacher, and deals with his problem students in a wide array of questionable methods. Despite his tough demeanor, he believes all kids should have fun at school. It starts off really perv-ey and hilarious, but hes not a super terrible guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohayotaku Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) The Saints Magic Power is Omnipotent - this one’s pretty lowkey to the point I think a lot of people would be bored by it, but I’m actually enjoying it quite a bit. MC (Sei) is a modern day Japanese office lady who is summoned to a fantasy world to save it from catastrophe. Except 2 women arrive instead of just 1. The Prince abruptly declares the other woman to be the prophesied “Saint” and whisks her away to prepare for her role. Unfortunately they don’t have a way to send Sei back home, so she is declared an honored guest. Meaning she is treated courteously & has her needs met but isn’t actually expected to contribute in a meaningful way. Out of boredom she starts spending time in the castle library & gardens, leading her to study potions & magic. As her affinity for it grows, an increasing number of people become convinced that she is the actual “Saint”. Although Sei would just as soon stay out of the spotlight, her unwillingness to not help when she can makes it look like being drawn into the kingdom’s intrigues is inescapable.

Ohayotaku Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) 86 - I’d recommend it to those impatiently waiting for the finale of AoT as it also deals with teenage soldiers dealing with the dehumanizing effects of war with a racial/class bigotry aspect to it. Has an Iron Blooded Orphans feel to it as well. https://myanimelist.net/anime/41457/86?q=86&cat=anime Edited May 2, 2021 by Ohayotaku 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechaBD Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Been busy with work so I am just starting the new seasonal stuff. Going to probably watch Nagatoro first and 86 tonight. I read some of Nagatoro and 86 looks cool. I'm really hyped for it now after reading your post Ohayotaku. I LOVED IRON BLOOD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohayotaku Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) The Saint’s Magic Power is Omnipotent episode 5 - so funny that it took Sei this long to realize her life is like something out of an Otome game Still pretty chill, but betting on an attempted coup by the end.
