Well, I'm not sure where the story is going, but at least, I got a good chuckle out of the low brow humor..

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Season 2 (Subtitled) Episode 142 Life-and-Death Battle! Meklord Astro Dragon Asterisk'
OMG LUA became a signer, I was hoping something like this would happened but gave up hoped when the anime matured past the Dark Signer arc, incredible especially with the risk he took his previous turn basically synchro summoning and everything as if the other merk lord and level cannon weren't even there. What an awesome turn of events!!!

Might as well be, only thing I ended up watching this season are sequels. Bahamut is dragging its feet, AoT is pretty good, but you and I both know MHA is about to have some stellar episodes coming up lol
But there's one more sequel this season that perhaps deserves the AOTS title more than those shows.

My one hope for this series going forward is that we keep getting interludes every now and then of that fat guy running but he getting progressively thinner and by the end of the series he's in really good shape.

I have to watch in the next days the third episode of Fargo S3, the second episode of American Gods (is tomorrow I think?), the first episodes of Handsmaid Tale (lots of people recommending it) and Sense8 S2 is also on queue.
Too much white man tv.

What is this you've shown me
That's not how you spell American Gods.

I would watch eccentric family if aniplex would put it for streaming somewhere.
Currently third from the top on my list, Attack on Titan is in a much more compelling place this season and KADO is currently too interesting not to be in the top slot.
Well he can't be the #1 Hero if he actually goes villain.
Hmm, guess I'll check out KADO then.
I still have to beat the 1st one...
Technically true but once again, not the issue, I will boil this down to the essence, what keeps heroes from falling, what mechanisms are in place for that? Who watches the watchmen in this universe?
That's even more reason not to have time for anime
I can confirm that The Handmaid's Tale is very promising. American Gods didn't blow me away but it wasn't bad either.
The Eccentic Family S2
That's even more reason not to have time for anime
Maybe one day...
Apparently the first season is on my "Plan to Watch"
Maybe one day...

It's too early to say how that will turn out later on, but I've finished Sense8 S2 already so I can vouch for its quality.

I stopped Kado at 1 not because I did not like it, but because I feel I am never in the right mood for it. I'll try to restart it.
The gourvernement of MHA's world, the police and other heroes. If a hero fell and became a criminal he would be arrested. Same thing as if a police officer started committing crimes in our world. Heroes in MHA can lose their license and therefore their right to practice their profession. Being a hero is like the most wanted and respected job of that world, so if you succesfully got your hero license you don't want to lose it.

AoT S2 - 31
Yeeeeeees!
They did it!!!
The maybe most understated, intentional anti-climactic...biggest reveal I've had in any fiction. Thank fucking god I didn't get that stuff spoiled for me 4 years back before reading it myself. Think I decided to read the manga after catching up to like episode 16 or so.
That's was such a genius moment and I'm glad the adaptation does it justice for the most part. Could've done without the CGI and the manga panels have some more explicitly visible slicing that adds to the scene but still, satisfying nontheless.
Having rewatched all of AoT before S2 aired I was enjoying all the really well done foreshadowing so much. Makes for excellent rewatches honestly.

I'm glad you didn't get spoiled, 4 years is quite a long time lol

Is this a police can get away with murder or am I missing something? Because if that's not it I don't get it and I hate not getting something :/

I've had no interest in watching it this season so far and I'm someone who enjoys the manga.
Pretty sure you got it.
That's a shame. It has been really good so far.

It happens all the time when I'm all caught up with manga adaptations' manga.
I just don't feel that urge to watch it weekly when I already know the story.

You not watching it makes it lose its AOTS status?
You never watch anime anyway.
that second line is a joke btw.

Ahh wasn't clear on that. I meant it wasn't spoiled for me 4 years ago before I read it myself back then.
Couldn't possibly have avoided it within the 4 years. I can't even read the current AoT S2 thread because manga readers just can't possibly keep their mouths shut about what's to come. There's always assholes claiming to 'merely speculate' when you know damn well they don't.
I think he's saying he already read it 4 years ago but was unspoiled at that point in time.

First, where the HELL did I say that?
Second, I've plowed through the entirety of Persona 5 t last month. I'm pretty sure that qualifies as anime.
Third, I'm rewatching Code Geass with a buddy who's experiencing it for the first time.
Fourth, I'm keeping some tabs on ID-0 and Tomica Hyper Rescue.

I haven't posting my AoT reactions on GAF for a while (or any anime for that matter) but this reveal I have to talk about.
Shingeki no Kyojin - 31
Haha holy fucking shit.
Glad to see the show gave me a false sense of security and threw it out the window.
As for the reveal itself I love how nonchalant it started as a side conversation in the middle of the bigger one between Hanji, Armin, and the rest of the Scouts group. Mikasa and Reiner were animated gloriously, especially love the lightning effects, and I didn't really mind the CG Colossal Titan all that much. Though since his body is attached to the wall I do hope he has a way to get out/off said wall. And finally THAT FUCKING MUSIC, I NEED THE OST IN MY BLOOD!
But yeah ironically I'm now on Team Titan,
I do hope the special titans aren't one-offed in this season.
Also I'm glad I haven't been spoiled over the past 4 years, though I'm really thinking about delving into the manga with this reveal.
Toradora
Shingeki no Kyojin - 31
Haha holy fucking shit.
Now honestly I've always figured Reiner to be the Armored Titan just like I figured Annie to be that female titan just due to how similar they were in human form compared to titan form. What really threw me off was Berthold being the Colossal Titan which I never saw coming. In retrospect though it makes sense and gives depth to the "special" titans beyond simple antagonists. But even so, while I figured Reiner to be the Armored Titan I have to admit that his actions during S1 and S2 up to now threw me off if I made the right conclusion on that.

I'm way more invested in Reiner, Berthold, Ymir, etc. rather than Eren and gang.

If you do it, you're gonna suffer with the rest of us, because monthly manga are just the worst

Those words are way too true. The 40 pages 1 time a month is hard.

I like to pretend it was that scene in Toradora
but it isn't that old. There has to be an older example in anime.

Pretty much. Well, and after a few times I've grown to like most of it.
Some of my favorite shots:
Love the couple quick cuts that take place during the bit from the last screenshot. I dunno but I adore Evangelion's opening and that's in part due to its series of fast cuts. That stuff is just magical when aligned nicely with the music.
My least favorite shots are always the ones containing larger amount of CGI Titans. They stand out with inferior animation and look C&Ped. In addition the background with those is usually especially poor.
Funnily enough that's what made it so easy to wait for more of the anime in the first place. Yet, here I am 4 years later and this season won't cover more than I read back then ;|
Oh and I gotta say that I remembered the manga art to be much worse than I perceived it on a reread honestly. If nothing else there's actually a lot of good framing done in there and a lot of shots are adapted nearly 1-to-1. It's mostly the action scenes where they change it up the most and usually add on. I think they keep it so closely in part because there's a lot of important foreshadowing that has to remain in there.
Fukuwara Mask still da best.

Not sure if Exile really were the ones who came up with it, or if it was Zoo, originally. Not too versed in that stuff.
