Anime stuff and Manga if you want :)

[ithuriel]

Not seen the original DevilMan in decades but I do remember it being foul languaged fun.

Dandadan on Netflix is really good so far

 

Never read the manga for it before but quite tempted

[kingcarr21]

Think Dandadan will be my next watch.

 

I finished the original Evangelion, quite a deep story but really enjoyed it. I did watch the first episode of Cowboy bebop but not got round to continuing it.

 

My Hero Academia is just annoying me now. They are really dragging out this ending. I understand wrapping up characters storylines but I'm certain you could wrap up some of them all in a single episode. It's gotten boring now I just want to see some actual action.

 

Dragonball Daima looks visually beautiful. Once it kicks in Im hoping for some really impressive fight scenes on par with Demon Slayer 

 

Speaking of, can't wait for the movies, the last season was pretty dull until that final episode. They absolutely nailed it.

 

Still find myself going back to Yu Gi Oh. I just have a real nostalgia to it.

Have you ever watch Yu Gi Oh abridged on YouTube?

 

It’s brilliant

Read a few times Keanu wanted to play Spike from Cowboy Bebop but it just never happened, why I think John Wick 4 ended the way it did was him getting to do something similar with the way it ended.

Bit of a guilty pleasure, Accel world, set in the same universe as Sword Art Online if I remember correctly, high school kids can connect directly to an online world, they get linked in but if  they die there they can never return to that world.

The hero is a fat bullied kid who gets befriended by the hot school girl, she opens up this world to him but she has her own agenda.

The music is pretty good, especially the battle theme.

 

The theme that plays when kuroyukihime sacrifices herself to save the hero by using the link to force her body to move fast in the physical world, pushing him out of the way of a car...

Just got Suzume on Bluray, Shinkai is certainly building up a decent catalogue of movies though his best for me is still Your Name.

Jujutsu Kaisen - Really cant get into this, just do not rate it at all. I keep going back to it to try and enjoy it but i find it dull

 

Hunter X Hunter - My favourite to date. Still listen to the intro song on a daily basis. Chimera Ant Arc is absolute peak

 

Manga i have never read and dont really have any intention to at the moment

 

 

 I would say it's my favourite too if not for the 1999 version. I watched so many times as a child. It's a bit darker and serious. my biggest gripe with the 2011 version is the removal of the sound of aura the 1999 version had. The phantom troop arc in the 1999 version is so good. Maybe give it a try if you hadn't yet.

 

As for jjk, it's probably my favourite of the last 5+ years.  but hey, i don't really watch anime much anymore and would just have  manga breakdown videos playing in the background (mainly hxh, jjk, bleach...etc). I honestly don't think any new-gen Shonen anime/manga comes close.

 

the Slam dunk anime is also very good. An old-school sports anime and one of the best ever imo.

I think with JJK I need to go back and watch it from the start. I'll be honest I started watching season 2 and don't actually understand what's going on. I feel like I watched season 1 without actually watching it.

 

HxH i watched without realising there ever was an older version of it. So can't imagine I would prefer the older version as I love the animation In the later version. But maybe I'll give it a go.

 

Not watched a sports anime yet. I think in my mind I ask myself what can they do different in a sports anime that hasn't already been done in films. Like underdog stories etc. maybe I'm doing sports anime a disservice

Finally got all from season one to season three on disc of Demon Slayer.

Ufotable really do help make this show stand out, season 3 is halfway through the story if I remember the manga correctly.

Like this compilation of seasons 1 and 2 to Zenitsu's theme....

 

[ithuriel]

The Demon Slayer anime will end in the Infinity Castle arc movie trilogy.

Kinda figured they would finish the series with a movie but three movies, if Ufotable are doing them, they should be awesome.

 

[ithuriel]

Finished season 3, the swordsmith village arc fights not as good as the entertainment district battle in my opinion even if the upper moon Tanjiro fights is harder to kill than upper moon 6 and nearly does for the love Hashira.

The surviving upper moon demons at the start of S3, all the 6 lower moons are already killed off.

Going to give this a rewatch, certainly more entertaining than RVNs city at present.

 

[ithuriel]

Ah, Terror in Resonance, an anime from the same guy that did Cowboy Bebop, often overlooked but it's pretty good.

 

[ithuriel]

Hmm did not realise the Chinese were really getting into the anime market now.

 

[moore_94]

Just watch the newest episode of DanDaDan

 

The exorcism scene with Hayashi was ****ing brilliant, even better when I rewatched the song in English and it turns out it is Dragonforce 

[Suzie the Fox]

Season 3 One punch man is out, 3 episodes released so far. One of my favourite anime's and this season *so far* has been so dissappointing.

Finally over Demon Slayer and in Season 2 of Attack on Titan which is comparatively extremely bleak. 

 

One Punch Man and Chainsaw Man on the list but think ill do Solo Levelling first. 

[Trav Le Bleu]

I note there's quite a lot of anime on Disney+ now. Any recommendations?

Solo Leveling was awesome, prob one of my faves in last few years. Not watched Demon Slayer yet, but its on my to do list.

Depends on what genre floats your boat really as there is literally tons of diff sorts. I noticed Prime also streams a fair bit of Anime nowadays too, but i tend to use those animee sites that have everything lol. (Not sure if they are legit though)

Best thing anyone who craves Anime can do is subscribe to CrunchyRoll either via their own app or through Prime as an add-on. Its £4.99 a months and houses pretty much every anime ever made. 

 

Most of the Anime films being made now (like the latest Demon Slayer) will drop on CrunchyRoll first way ahead of Netflix or Disney+ due to the takeover Sony had with CrunchyRoll and the weird streaming issues it presents.

Not posted here for a while. So a catch up on where I'm at.

 

I am up-to-date with Kaiju #8. Really enjoying it but I've noticed an awful trend in animes where the end of a season is left at an awful cliff hanger. We are literally about to see Kafka fight Kaiju #9 and it's the end of season. Poor showing.

 

One Punch Man, as Susie said above. This season is so disappointing so far. Season 1 and 2 were hilarious as well as incredible fight scenes. So far this season is boring. Animation is mid at best. Will still persevere though

 

Vinland Saga, started watching this. I've watched season 1 so need to jump onto season 2. Very good.

 

Dandadan, fully caught up. It's decent with good fights but I think they can do more. Looking forward to season 3 though.

 

MHA, oh my word. I complained before that the end is dragging. We are finally into the home straight. The last few episodes have been 10/10. Beautiful animation and 'certain characters'are getting shit done. Won't say anymore to avoid spoilers.

 

Demon slayer, went cinema to watch the first of the trilogy movies. Really enjoyed it but did feel that some of the back stories dragged on. Like the Hashira with the butterflies ( forget her name). Her backstory could have easily been covered in the previous season. Didn't need the movie to go through it. Even so the fights were on point. Zenitsu is a beast

 

Deathnote, finally after recommendations I watched it. Loved it upto a certain point ( people who have watched it will know what I refer to). Still persevered to see how it ends but I feel like the story could have taken a different approach to give a much better ending with 'L'. Still great though.
