What anime are you watching now?

Just finished the first episode of Mashiro no Oto. Hmm. Not sure if I'll end up liking it yet. It was a very weird episode and all over the place. The scenes including the shamisen were breathtaking but then there's random fanservice and the characters act way too strange.

The second episode to Mashiro no Oto was amazing! Why didn't they lead with it! The first episode was random and confusing. Now I'm afraid there might be pacing issues. Seriously hope the tone of the second episode carries through.

i am re watching fruit basket it always tells you to never forget who you are and always help a friend/family member out no matter what.. what do you thinl

Fruits Basket is about as wholesome a show as I've seen (both the 2001 version and the new one). It really does try to help its viewers understand how to be better people, and being there for friends and family is a perfect example.

A simple life lesson, but always worth reminding people of stuff like that 👍

Two nights ago I watched and completed the Heaven Feel Trilogy. Spring Song, the one I'd been waiting to release in my region was amazing and the fights were on another level. So with that milestone out the way, I'm probably gonna try and finish up Samuari Champloo and get to the end of Absolute Demonic Front Babylonia, and also continue through Hunter x Hunter.

Once Samuari and Babylonia are complete I'll likely look into getting a hold of Camalot films, second one comes out in May but no doubt only in Australia and America. Luckily we brits share the same region code with aussies for blueray. At least that's may game-plan going forward with Anime.  

Also anyone on here know when the Magia Record Second Season blueray might drop? I've got no idea.

I’d watched the original adaption back in the day but it didn’t make much of an impression on me. The remake (2019 - 2022) however is one of my all time top 10 anime. In  40+ years of watching anime, I’ve never watched another series which could affect me emotionally as much as it did on a week to week basis during it’s run. Hoping the prequel/recap/sequel film gets released over here in some format (came out in Japan earlier this year).

I'm currently watching K-ON!  Which is great fun.  I think if I'd had a teacher like that and an after school club where I could drink tea and eat cake I just might have enjoyed school a bit more.

Checked out some premieres:

Rising of the Shield Hero season 2 - didn’t waste any time at all on a recap, jumping straight to a new threat separate of the “Waves” which were the focus of last season. Curious to see where it goes from here.

Birdie Wing - first of all, if you’re looking for a realistic depiction of the sport & it’s technical nuances, keep looking 😂 As at least 2 of the characters have techniques that seem more like something from Demon Slayer. Also a bit of a Megalo Box or Sk8 the ♾️ vibe to it. And I admit the attractive character designs without an egregious level of fanservice are a plus for me. Not sure if I”ll stick with it for the whole season, but seems like a fun/enjoyable way to spend a half hour each week.

RPG Real Estate - not a fan of the moe-blob character designs & didn’t find it cute or funny. Might’ve worked better as a short run time series. One & done.

started watching aharen-san wa hakarenai and this is totally my type of show. I like it

Ok, I admit the 2nd ep made me laugh. A LOT. Especially Aharen’s attempts to protect Raidou’s dignity/virtue 🤣

 

dude was so traumatized when he realized his fly was down all day, he had to take a sick day

 And I can relate to Aharen’s reflex to eyedrops. I’m very adverse to anything getting in my eye. My optometrist has to pry my eyes open to put drops in & it’s absolute hell when a lash gets stuck.

've just finished watching K-ON! On the face of it a slice of life show about five girls who are members of a high school music club doesn't seem that interesting, but the way the various character's differing personalities interact with each other make the whole more than the sum of its parts. Add in the excellent animation and HTT's music, even if the lyrics are plain weird*, and you've got a series that's great fun to watch.

The movie was good fun too, and as someone who spent most of their working life in London I recognised many of the places the girls visited. Their trip from the Ibis London City to the Ibis Earls Court was interesting, Aldgate East station is the nearest one to the Ibis London City, but as they ended up in Camden Town they seriously got the wrong train and went in the wrong direction, but if Yui was navigating that probably explains it. 🙂

 

* Having said their lyrics were weird, I would like to point out that U&I and the groups final song for Azusa had great lyrics.

Shachiku-san wa Youjo Yuurei ni Iyasaretai, looks like another fun + cute one.  Might even be a bit too cute but I only have one ep to go by.  At any rate I'm putting it on my worth-another-look list.  I'll come back in another couple weeks and see if it gets promoted to my ptw list.
