I don't know... He maybe on to something since he only watched all the "old days" shows over the last five years.

Just found out that the CG action figure series got a 2D animated opening.
If only the main series would look half so good as the opening.

Honestly, the first episode, the duel in particular, did feel unnecessary given the direction the series ultimately ended up going. Like, I actually like the direction the show went in, stupid school uniforms not withstanding, but I don't see the point in the "lolno he's actually OP" swerve they did. They should've just established Glenn as strong but unmotivated from the getgo instead of the "Kazuma-lite" stuff from the first episode.
I'd try to get into those 2 but I can't watch either S1 on Crunchyroll :/

Now that I finished 3rd I think I'll try to get back into anime, what is still good this season?
No point recommending the above or MHA
AOT S1 should also be on Netflix.

I'll try looking there later
Seems to be a regional issue since it displays the "Sorry, due to licensing limitations, videos are unavailable in your region." message (oddly enough all of S2 seems to be there just fine which is why i found the message weird at first)
BLAME! is a movie on Netlix right?
Dunno if i really want to try Boruto, I only watched Naruto up till around the chunin exam and got a bit more through playing some of the games

Yep BLAME! is on netflix. It absolutely amazing.
As for Boruto. It's like a new story. You could easily start from there. If you enjoyed early Naruto I recommend at least checking it out. Lots of really good class interactions.

Kidnapping for evil purposes should be banned from all anime/manga/LN...
Blame! (Yes, it's on Netflix)
Kado
SukaSuka (or WorldEnd: What do you etc)
Nothing better then 3rd though.

Sure, I get where you're coming from. But from a different perspective this is the problem some people have with very faithful adaptations. It can feel like there's no surprises left to have. Sure it changes the experience, but if all they care about is the base story line, it's not really going to add a whole lot, animated, live action, or otherwise.
Plus you're a diehard MHA fan. You live and breath for this stuff. Nintendoman doesn't feel the same way, probably, maybe, I don't know, the Getter Robo Avi might give it away. So just imagine that MHA for him is like whatever lesser series you find just 'good' and thus aren't as interested in seeing adapted.

I prefer kidnapping over other crimes in media, to me its less traumatizing than physical or sexual abuses.

Ok, I'll look into Kado, Sukasuka, Tsukigakirei and BLAME!
Will think a bit more about Boruto
Not looking into anything specific, although i like to have a comedy even if it's not too great (i enjoyed gabriel dropout last season for what it was for one)
You can look into my anime list if you want to get a better idea what I like

I have a real problem pronouncing Boruto as burrito.

is it because of what I'm thinking?
Yea it's the Samurai Jack ending.
I still hate it (and old man Simon is still the worst. THE WORST). However I see now where it could have gone wrong or been worse.

Genndy can't possibly say he
lmao
didn't straight up rip off the ending from TTGL
I'm going to be FUCKING MAD if he tries to bullshit his way out and say he didn't see the show.

Says the guy who loves Sword Art Online, where this was the ENTIRE FOCUS OF THE SECOND HALF.
I'm probably one of those hipsters who wasn't flying in a fit of rage at Gurren Lagann's ending.
I don't hate it (I think the only ending from media I like I actively hate is the Dexter one) but I don't like it either (like most of the second half of the show)

Well, considering that was the FIRST show I ever watched, it wouldn't have been an issue....

I've never liked TTGL to begin with so.....
Yeah, it's hard to appreciate how overused a trope is until you see it firsthand over and over across works.

hottest take:
I liked the TTGL ending, but looking at it back Simon should have become Punished Simon with an eyepatch.

The ending to TTGL was such an odd way to close out that show.

It is going to vary from person to person, but my initial tone was because nintendoman is supposed to be a pretty big fan of the manga of MHA. If what he wrote in the past is true.
Admiral Woofington
Member
All right I'll help you. Let's get ready to fuck.
Don't worry the camera will just switch to like weird CG dolphins or dragons.
Love Lab perhaps ?
Arakawa Under the Bridge or D-Frag something less impressive production wise.

Gurren Lagaan's ending was great. It isn't exactly what I wanted but what show gives you everything you want? (Besides Clannad After Story. )
)Those seem to be shows that finished airing?
I'm only looking into stuff that's airing right now atm
But I'll keep some of those in my mind for later (and I already wanted to watch New game)

I DO like the manga. That's the problem.
The manga is so far ahead right now that I have no real urge to rewatch the earlier parts of the show. Except for the
Stain
Just because the source material is good, doesn't mean that the adaptation will be though. There's much more involved in making an anime than making a manga or a novel, which gives plenty of opportunity for more to go wrong. You could have great writing dragged down by poor direction, or bad animation, for example.
On a different note, I'm still only watching two shows this season. Not because I'm only interested in two shows, but because my time's been very constrained. Not only do I have a new Fire Emblem to distract me, but I'm going to a convention later this week. I need to put the finishing touches on my cosplays for that. Oh yeah, and I'm getting married next week. That's sort of important. Maybe once it's all over and I can finally relax, and watch some more of this season's shows. I wouldn't mind starting Bahamut, but reactions have been mixed.
