What anime are you watching now?

I just finished the Chimera Ant Arc of Hunter X Hunter. Only one left now then I've finished the show. 

I happily admit Hunter X Hunter lived up to all the praise people give it. Chimera Ant arc was amazing. By the end I wasn't even on the Human side only, I was sort of routing for everyone paradoxically. Sort of like when Fate Zero was towards the end I could pick a side between the remaining characters cause I was invested in them all equally

Same thing happened here, I was routing for the Chairman and the King. Pouf and his evil schemes. Pitou and Gon. The ending was touching, and I look forward to seeing how the show wraps everything up in the final twelve episodes. 

It gonna be nice seeing Leorio again. As he's not been round since Yorknew City despite how awesome he is. Through if he'd been in the Chimera Ant arc he might have been eaten.

Re-watching Naruto !

I don't have much access to anime streaming services at the moment, because I don't make enough money to pay for streaming services...so I decided to re-watch one of my favourite anime :D 

Consider me a loser, but yes, Netflix is the only streaming service I have at the moment, which my family pays for...so I only have Netflix anime to work with. T-T

Maybe try Retro Crush. It’s mainly older titles but it’s free legal streaming though you gave to put up with ads.

I just started watching "Clean Freak! Aoyama-kun". Only on the second episode, and the jury is still out on this one. I actually really like sports anime, even though I don't care for sports IRL, and Comedy is my favorite kind, but so far... there has been funny moments but nothing laugh out loud hilarious. I'll still give it a few episodes though.

You aren't a loser! I personally gave up on Naruto, but I even get nostalgic sometimes and think about re-watching the first 100-130 eps or so of the first series. (I watched into the first 150 eps of Shippuden before I quit.)

Otome Game Sekai wa Mob ni Kibishii Sekai desu

finished what I hope is just the first cour/season. I’d set it aside early on, but after coming back to it, I found myself enjoying it more & more. While not anything original there’s enough little nuances to the characters’  interactions to keep me invested in them. Leon in particular (as much as he relishes playing the role of insufferable a-hole, when it counts he can’t help but be a decent person, albeit he’s far too good at gloating :P ).  His banter with Luxion is always amusing & love that he actually named his mech Arroganz (arrogance) 🤣 I’m really hoping it gets a continuation.

I've now finished watching the second series of Magic Knight Rayearth. The build-up to the final battle is quite dramatic but I think the most touching scene is Hikaru's final confrontation with Nova.

Overall I think the series benefits from having the creators of the manga involved in the anime, but I still think that the anime ending is better than the manga ending.

Finished GTO. I put the last few episodes on hold and went ahead and watched all Skeleton Knight eps available on CR as well.

Now I'm watching 86 Eighty-Six.

I've just started watching Golden Time.  A rather good slice of life series about a group of college students, which makes a nice change from series about high school students. It has an interesting cast of characters but what I find most interesting is the way the central storyline explores the relationship between memory and identity.

Currently watching season 2 of the melancholy haruhi suzumiya. I know this may sound like a bad idea but I will try to watch all the episode of the endless eight.

I've just started re-watching Sailor Moon series 1.

This is @sunshine's fault for starting a topic elsewhere on AF which got me thinking that I hadn't watched it for a long time and perhaps it's time I did. 😃

Finished Skeleton Knight in Another World last night. Certainly not the most original or well executed series, but definitely entertaining 😁 Arc is a very likable  protag (heart of gold 💛, head of bone 💀 :P ). Ariane is a bit fanservicey but capable of being badass scary (particularly in the final ep) & makes a good traveling companion/potential romantic interest for him. Ponta & Chiyome are both cute as heck. And Goemon is a perfect “bro” for him 💪 Also equal parts amusing & interesting how Arc’s “low-profile good deeds” are having a much greater impact on the fantasy world’s  political landscape than he realizes. Only complaint is that the series’ opening scene (an attempted rape by a group of brigands) was excessive (made me uncomfortable & probably scared some viewers off). But other than that, I’m actually hoping it gets another season 🤞

Reminds me of Goblin Slayer. I remember when I first watched that, the first episode completely threw me. The goblins raping and murdering the Priestess companions was so messed up, and then the genocide of Goblin children by the titular Goblin Slayer. For a first episode that was really unpleasant. The rest of the show was pretty enjoyable, so I guess Skeleton Knight is sort of the Iseaki version of that. As far as opening episodes being sort of over the top edgy for the sake of shock value?

Not sure what they gain, as it seems your more likely to lose interested people. Keep the dark shit for later on, so all the invested time and sunk cost fallacy kicks in. By the time you get to the end of Wolfs Rain, or the Chimera Ant arc you can't back out by then.

Also I started Gintama and Yu Yu Hakusho. Gintama watch order is a little messy so I might need to look into what order to watch it in, as there several seasons, movies and OVAs and I don't want to miss anything crucial as I heard that it a comedy which sets a lot of stuff up early such as long running gags (a little like RVB from back in the day). As for Hakusho, now that I finished HxH and all its films and with no confirmed date for anything else HxH related beyond the Manga coming out from Hiatus this might be the perfect time to watch Togashi other series. 

I heard it good, and considering I ended up rating HxH a 10/10, I can't imagine Hakusho is bad by any means.

@MediaConsumesMe Goblin Slayer is actually a decent parallel for the scene in question, but the series itself thereafter is more humorous than Goblin Slayer was. As to what  they were trying to accomplish with it, the scene ends with Arc cutting the brigands in half before they can actually follow through with their intentions & Arc musing to himself that even though this is the first time he’s actually killed people (he’s an isekaid fantasy rpg otaku) he doesn’t feel guilty about it. So I think the point was for the viewer to feel that the baddies were such disgusting sleazeballs that Arc cutting them down without remorse didn’t  make him cold blooded or amoral. That he’s still “heroic” and good natured. But I still feel it was excessive not only because the scene itself was pretty detailed, but also it plays  out again later in the ep, albeit from a slightly different POV. Which gives the impression that they also went for a “shock value” opening. There are other “dark” moments, but they’re more discreetly presented. Also the episode advisory originally appeared as the scene actually played out instead of ahead of time (little too late for a warning 😅, which is why I try to warn people in advance for anyone interested in checking the series out to give them an idea what to expect.

Watched the preview for RWBY: Ice Queendom. So, going into it I was aware of the original series & had seen some memes based off it but had never actually watched the original.  As far as the preview it definitely put it’s self in my wheelhouse by referencing various myths, legends & literary works of fantasy. And in general I found the characters likable, even when they didn’t particularly act that way (yeah, I don’t really understand that either 😂). But the narrative was extremely choppy with it being obvious scenes were being shortened or skipped over. And the animation was inconsistent (some scenes were impressive, but others sloppy or subpar). After it was over, I did a quick bit of  research & from what I gather this preview is essentially a condensed recap of the the original series 1st (and possibly 2nd) season which serves as the prologue to a previously untold storyline (this new series). Despite the blatant shortcomings, my curiosity is sufficiently piqued to watch more, but I want to watch the original episodes that were summarized first to put things into better context.

Today was the end of Spy x Family’s 1st cour, so now we wait for October. Glad that it was more of a fun episode & didn’t end on a cliffhanger. Though the trailer for the 2nd cour does deliver the hype 🤩
