Serge heartless Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 As far as Baki, it reminds me of my high school days, I lived in a really bad part of town, me and my friends we always getting into fights. Could be also, I hated jocks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohayotaku Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) Just finished the latest Asobi Asobase OVA. The first segment was really funny with the girls doing cosplay. The second segment was about sensei and two of her friends when they were students. Wasn’t as good but still entertaining. Afterwards I watched a couple Youtube videos of the VAs goofing around. Even in IRL the girls are a riot. Kasumi’s VA is definitely the best as she also voices Mina (Eyebrows) from Takagi-san and Chika from Kaguya-sama.

Seshi Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 I just found out there was an Avatar The Last Air Bender sequel; The Legend of Korra. What did y’all think about it? Did it live up to the original greatness of the last air bender? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohayotaku Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) The general consensus is NO. It’s biggest shortcoming IMO was that where the original was a single coherent story divided into different chapters, but each season of Korra felt like it was telling it’s own story, albeit with a cast of recurring characters and some story overlap. There were some pretty cool depictions of characters from the previous series though, so as a fan of the original it might be worth checking out. The other thing is what they tried to make a big deal about in the finale felt more like a gimmick that was just tacked on at the end for attention. Korra & Asami being a same sex couple. Didn’t feel real to me unlike Ruby & Sapphire from Steven Universe Edited June 17, 2019 by Ohiotaku 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beocat Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 @Seshi pretty much what @Ohiotaku just said. It was good and bad. It went more into a "liberal" direction. Instead of being about a good plot where they were saving the world or something, it went waaaaay too political. It went down the road of victimized subdemographics (blood benders being ostracized from water benders for example and having to hide themselves and "reacting" to it by behaving bad because they felt unfairly treated) instead of celebrating and uplifting diversity. It ended up feeling like someone was pushing their politics onto you and the sudden 'hetero to homo' switch of the final couple made no sense for either character's history and again felt like forced politics. I did like seeing Ang's kids and grandkids but that was pretty much it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seshi Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 Thanks for weighing in you guys.. I guess I’ll check it out - but no high hopes about the plot being masterful- ok 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only just finished watching TLA for the first time. I haven't done so more or less for these reasons you've brought up. Somebody else told me it could have been a lot better but the environment (being a PG series on a children's network) did not allow it to be what it clearly wanted to be. Forced politics are generally a turn off no matter where you stand on that spectrum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know what I was expecting, but I found myself facepalming several times. One episode became two...then three...I did stop before a fourth, but I will probably be back for more of it. The comedic value was exquisite. That sounds fun! There are a few other here enjoying that series right @Kinbaryu and @Ohiotaku 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got a raunchy sense of humor at times, but the subtle jokes are what get me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohayotaku Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 @The History Kid Glad you’re enjoying it, definitely one of the funnier recent series IMO. There’s a movie coming out in Japan soon, hopefully CR will stream it eventually The characters are also pretty prominent in Isekai Quartet, though if you’re not familiar with the other series, a lot of jokes aren’t as funny. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seshi Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 Any more hints on their upcoming additions to the new season? #shieldherohopeful But I’ve also seen that there may be some promise to the new Isekai Cheat Magician as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohayotaku Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 No news, but won’t surprise me if it rakes awhile. Also planning to check out the premiere of Cheat Magician. This one sounds like it could have some similarities to Shield Hero and premieres later today https://www.livechart.me/anime/3000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohayotaku Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 (edited) @Seshi Yeah, forget everything I said about Arifureta. I just watched the first ep on my lunchbreak. Nothing even remotely likable about the MC and it was almost entirely just him rambling to himself. The parts about being looked down on and being mistreated sounded kinda like Naofumi, but can already tell they’re nothing alike. Poor writing and ugly CGI as well. Hopefully Cheat Magician will be more promising. Edited July 8, 2019 by Ohiotaku 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireduck Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Just finished High School DxD Hero. I actually enjoy the story and characters despite the EXTREME ecchiness of it all. For my next anime I'm wanting to change tone quite a bit a go with something different. Decided on steins gate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like many people share the same sentiment. Did you finish Steins;Gate 0? I have only seen the original, the movie, and some specials. @Seshi, Ray is my favorite character so far, but I like Emma and Norman too. I'm kind of glad Emma is the protagonist, though.

Illusion of Terra Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I thought Promised Neverland was great. I had not seen many anime like that before, so I thought it was quite different but also quite dark in a sense. Really interested to see what happens next and if that world is just a purely fictional one or is supposed to be Earth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohayotaku Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 (edited) Decided to give VRV a try since it’s just a couple dollars a month more than my standalone CR subscription aabd also gives me access to Hidive (and some “cartoon” channels). Of Sentai’s new anime series, enjoying The Demon Girl Next Door which is proving to he a funny (and at times cute) parody of Magical Girl anime.

Ohayotaku Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 As recently as last season almost all of Funi’s & Sentai’s simulcasts were available on CrunchyRoll, but looks like that golden age has ended. Hate to see it happen, but honestly surprised it didn’t happen sooner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
