efaardvark Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Not exactly watching it yet since I usually wait until season's end and binge shows but I just watched the first few episodes of Saihate no Paladin, aka The End Paladin. Looks interesting enough to put it on my to-watch list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catching up on Tokyo Revengers, I think I'm on episode 11 or 12. Added 86 -Eighty Six- to the list but I haven't even started Komi Can't Communicate yet. The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat too. What do you think about Tokyo Revengers? Watching Tokyo Ghoul, it's crazy good that opening music man.

efaardvark Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Bingeing Nanamaru. Have to say it is not terribly exciting so far. (Sorry, no matter how you spin it a quiz show is not "sports".) It is giving my Japanese listening skills a decent workout however. I mean, isn't the goal of everyone watching these sorts of shows to answer the questions before the contestants?

senshikoi Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 (edited) Pokemon the First Movie, Pokemon the Movie 2000, Pokemon the Movie 3, Pokemon 4Ever, Pokemon Heroes, Pokemon Destiny Deoxys, Pokemon - Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, and Pokemon - Genesect and the Legend Awakened. First five bought as I only originally had them on video, so hunted down the original-extra-chocked copies, not the newer-no-extras copies... well except Heroes, that's the extraless version, as it came in a boxset... will have to hunt down the extra-full version; awaiting Pokemon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea and Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction to arrive, then that's my collection complete (though wish Paramount hadn't changed the cover for Jirachi Wishmaker, as I always have to resist the urge to import the American copy for the cover), well... I could have bought Mewtwo Strikes Back - Evolution, but thought I'd give the UK distributor a chance to release it, rather than just resort to import, though it's tempting.

Once you get over (or choose to ignore out of reason) their ages, it starts to turn relatively Shakespearean. Although I feel like our protagonist Takemichi is fairly irritating. You would think Manjiro/Mikey would be more interesting due to the huge dissimilarity of the two but I found him equally irksome. My favorite characters are Naoto Tachibana and Takashi Mitsuya. With Mitsuya it was refreshing to see a character of the same age group have a hobby outside of the squad. On a positive note, the direction of learning to be more proactive at a later stage in life is nice to see. I'm used to seeing characters having an emotional midlife crisis in their early-to-mid teens when it comes to shows like this. Didn't expect the show to get as deep as it did, sometimes a little too dramatic for my taste: Reveal hidden contents Like the conclusion with Keisuke Baji. For now it's a solid 6.5 out of 10 for me. 7 if I'm simply in it for the fun. Have you seen it yet, Kit? Interested in reading your thoughts. Shakespearean? Oh snap, I've never thought of it like that. Kind of like west side story too. Did you just diss Mikey like that? It was hard for me not to like the characters as they all had something in their lives that was cause and effect to how their attitudes were. Chifuyu was a real bro though I liked him. Yea it can get dumb at times but i'm not much of an anime expert to put it against quality or anything. I liked it but I'm trying to sort out what my tastes in anime are while I'm watching some of these shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohayotaku Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 (edited) @Kit I finished both cours of Tokyo Revengers but not sure if I’ll watch the next season as my interest was waning. I’m curious if you’ve seen Steins Gate. The plot is similar (repeatedly changing the past to try to save his friends)but it is more scifi (characters are all science nerds or otaku). If it was the delinquent angle you enjoyed, you might like some of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. Edited November 23, 2021 by Ohayotaku 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear people say that the animation quality and story in TR is bad but I don't have much experience in watching anime to compare it like that. Never heard of Steins Gate but if it's like Dr. Stone I should like it. tbh I'll be open to anything to build up a clear picture of what my interests in anime would be. I was thinking of Jojo's too because it's a big meme that's everywhere but looks like a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohayotaku Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 (edited) @Kit Steins Gate is more psychological & suspenseful than action oriented, but it does have some intense scenes & a good bit of humor. And you want to start with the main series instead of Zero (0). Durarara also felt similar to TR for me.

Ohayotaku Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 (edited) Planning to binge Heike Story over the long weekend since it’s only 11 episodes . From what I gather it’s a version of a historical Japanese epic, though I’m afraid I’m not familiar with it What I’ve seen so far reminds me of Macbeth (political ambition, warfare, tragedy & hints of the supernatural).

Coming to an end on Fullmetal: Brotherhood, it was good I loved it more than Fullmetal but they both have positives over the other. The voice acting in Fullmetal over Brotherhood and I don't know why but I like the animation in Fullmetal better. I'll probably try Steins Gate next. On 11/24/2021 at 6:14 AM, Kreideprinz said: Yes. Yes I did. In my opinion, other characters coddled him too much and it resulted in a lot of unnecessary tragedy. I feel bad for Draken, it felt like his character could have been so much more if he were a little more independent. I'm still looking forward to season 2. It's great that you're finding your interests, Kit. Love what you love, and come share it with us! I don't have a favorite character but I do respect that Draken was one of the ones that commanded any sense. I didn't like how easily Takemichi was folded into the group. He came between the friends when they had known each other longer and had been through more stuff together. Draken couldn't settle Mikey down but Takemichi could? I saw no resemblance between Takemichi and Mikey's brother. They should show the connection in season 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarathonGuy1337 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 About to start Legend of the Galactic Heroes (1988) OVA Season 2 finished the first season like just shy of a mouth ago and need to get back on with the next season as the first season was really good. Stopped to watched the Irresponsible Captain Tylor and to give myself a break from a subbed show also watching Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, and am currently on episode 31 so that's going super fast only started it like two weeks ago. Its funny but I didn't mean to be this smug about my intellectual anime tastes when I wrote this Gonna have to find away out of this... Got it! Also plan to watch the second season of Slayers pretty soon because its was super funny! And just like that I avoided being labelled an elitist... few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohayotaku Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) Watched episode 1 of The Ancient Magus Bride: The Boy from the West & Knight of the Blue Storm. Nice to see these characters again. And the storyline is right in my wheelhouse with the Wild Hunt mythology as it’s basis. Only complaint is there are 3 episodes & I believe it will be several months between them since they’re being released with the manga in Japan. Fortunately it’s not actually complex & stopped at a good break point. Edited December 11, 2021 by Ohayotaku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyFox Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I just finished Blend-S & Genshiken. I was a little disappointed that the anime was so short considering the Genshiken Manga is a pretty long run. I just started Bakuman and Nekopara.

MediaConsumesMe Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Decided to start Paranoia Agent. Just got through the first volume. I didn't want anything to long as I'm still cracking through Full Metal with @MarathonGuy1337. We got 12 episodes to go. Must say I wasn't expecting Full Metal to live up to all the praise it receives by most anime fans. But I eat my own words because that might be one of the best shows I've watched.

Deeath Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Currently watching "Tiger & Bunny" it's pretty much a superhero/Sci-Fi type anime, it's actually really good. , It came out in 2011, and the style is amazing! And It was on my list for awhile now, I'm glad I got to it...Netflix gets sh1t on a lot for its Animes, but this one is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
