Anime discussion thread

Yeah, I do like Demon Slayer too but the problem lies with the anime. In the anime, the pace was a bit slow and it felt dragged out. In addition, the animation is inconsistent and not up to snuff with the likes of the fate series, jujutsu, or fire force (in terms of consistency). That being said, ep19 was a glorious exception!

Have not watched hero aca and black clover (kind of got lazy with the shonen).

Jujutsu kaisen, on the other hand, deserves to be at or near the top spot. Everything on that show is fairly balanced imo. I don’t really have anything bad to say about it. It doesn’t do outstanding things, but it does everything fairly well.

Fire force…um…this show’s got some problems. I kind of gave up on the anime and manga (have about 40 unread chapters). The anime had great animation tho, one of my favs. I might pick it back up eventually to see if it improved.

My hero needs to be watched for at least season 1 then the rest is a bit of a roller coaster up and down in regards to story and excitement but is just pretty fun overall. Jujutsu kaisen doesn’t care at all about slowing shit down and I really appreciate it for that. Fire force while the animation is good. I didn’t really fall for the rest of the anime within the first few episodes so I kind of dropped it same with black clover. But shonens In general right now are in a good spot.

That I can agree with…I’m looking forward to Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie coming out in December.

I guess I should’ve asked this at the beginning of the season, but anyone here watch Oddtaxi?

It is superbly written and very unique. Sleeper anime of the season bar none!

At first I thought it was giving out some Yuru Camp vibes, but boy was I wrong - I’m glad I was.

Well good news for Demon Slayer fans…

I watched the movie last night and thought it was solid, but not spectacular. Still worth the watch imo and the ending was done beautifully!

Well… This has been a day of catching up, but… Damn…
Episode 23 of So I’m a Spider, So What? and I’m still on a whole “I need to know if my whole horcrux-like theory is correct” given that even if the parts of the MC’s soul has been destroyed via the magic used against her by the demon lord, there is still a fraction inside the demon lord, and is that enough to secure her survival?
Little bit of stage setting in Season 5 of My Hero
Only one episode of Nagatoro-san, and right at the very end… I couldn’t help but think: this. This is a smile you protect.


Season 01 of 86 is done, and they just started the dub, and I’m sitting here thinking… Well… Time to start that heart ache all over again.
I’ve still got Vivy and Edens Zero up to watch, but still…

Have some tissues ready. Watching it with 86 when it aired on saturdays was tough…

I’m already on episode 4. Doesn’t bring emotions like 86 did, and even that didn’t bring me to tears like Nanachi wailing at Mitty’s death.

Guess it might have been the double combo that made me depressed after watching them both one after the other lol.

Guessing there’s no love here for fruits basket…each ep is an emotional roller coaster.

That’s a given, man, though there’s only one episode left. Been gaming today

Dude… one final episode, but the end to today’s episode… The final moments of Tohru’s mother and the thoughts flying through her head as she lay on the ground bleeding out, thinking about her daughter, mentally crying out to Kyo to keep his promise and protect Tohru… There really isn’t anything like the love a parent feels for their child.

next arc trailer is out and seems really fun.

honestly the show starts to pick up even more during the train I hope they finish the show cause form ending the manga the shole show wont really get any better in regards to story or much emotional weight but knowing how good the animaiton can be it should be some fo the most pure and un-adulterated shonen seasons of this generation of anime aside from what jujutsu kaisen has delivered and the tournament arcs in MHA

Im a few episodes behind with Im a spider so what and catching up Im seeing some fo the laziest animation Ive seen for a while that fight between the demon queen and the dragon witht he CG demon queen made me loose a lto fo interest in continnuing. I dont my cg monsters in show but I would have preferred a slide show of a fight thatn this.

I feel pretty lukewarm about Higehiro, but I’ll reserve judgement until the final ep next week.

Yeah it does pick up…until you get to the ending which was meh to me.

I’ve decided to stay away from that show. I might read the LN tho since it gets a lot of praise.

I tend to have a huge sft spot for dramas and slice of life animes so generally I have a very postive skewed attitude in terms of opinion for them . personally I think the show is worth the watch but definitely not a show for everyone a lot of these drama slice of life animes/ or manga that skew and tackle themes they attempt to tackle here are generally not made to be fun or enjoyable. this show has been pretty emojoyable for me especially in alot fo the more haert warming moments. I think the show does what it needs to do pretty well though there are some moments especially the last episode that was kinda cheesy where Im not sure if its a failure of tranlation or nuanced writing just being a little bit of a weakness for japanse writers.

Well I was caught off guard today…did not know this was going to be released so soon! I’m not the only one waiting for this, am I?

Higehiro just finished today and it was alright. It’s not a must-watch but I didn’t feel like I wasted my time either.

I think I already know what my top anime of this season will be, but damn Oddtaxi was brilliant! This is underdog of the season, probably year, for sure and it most definitely deserves a re-watch. It did a great job linking all these seemingly random events and creating a unique story out of it. Man, that was great and it had a nice twist at the end too! So sad that this has gone under the radar…
