I havent heard of that anime at all. What stream shows that (Funi?, Crunchy?). Is that one good? Sorry I can't keep up this thread since I have to read 10+ pages when I come back here.

It's basically 100% old school shonen, it's well liked and you can find it on Crunchyroll. Check it out!

It's about this boy who releases a demon by accident, together with that demon he solves "monster of the week" style problems. An overarching plot is probably coming up later.

Sweet thanks for the recommendation. I'll put that on the usual "three episodes before judgment list" then decide whether to continue watching that. I can deal with that monster of the week style anime, after all I liked and finished that Senpai anime.

 

[phaze]

I'm not usually one to enjoy a slow burn melancholic show with heavy symbolism and David Lynch-like abstract writing/directing. But I'll be damned if Texhnolyze didn't win me over. What starts out as a tough to appreciate first episode where no dialogue is spoken for half if not more of the episode, ended up being a poignant story about cyborn enhancements and what it means to be human.

If you decide to watch it I can't stress enough that even if you watch it dubbed so much is told to the audience through the actual visuals it's not something you should background watch.

Better keep your eye on it

Texhnolyze gets 9.5/10. And the Woof seal of approval.

Onishii da best indeed.

Which is why I've run out of tears by the time 22 rolled in. lol

Kinda surprised as I thought Texh had the least chance to earn your approval but glad you found something you liked to this extent among the three.

Where Mushi-shi are exposed as vengeful, sake crazed cultists.

Serial experiment lain had a chance but the message of social media/Internet shut ins has been done to death and then it just got weird and I didn't have the energy to try and make sense of anything. So dated and confusing.

Samurai show had potential but half of the time I wanted the episodes to end because it was so grotesque in its presentation, story and design I only enjoyed how out there it was. I was also terrified of that rapey old man.

But I'm with you I thought I wouldn't enjoy this but the gangster/mob aspect kept me hooked early on. I love most things with mobsters. Except gangsta and that shitty harem show everybody here always argues about Wailua. With the blonde girl.

Bikini Warriors 5 - The end amused me greatly. So very true to gaming it was.

 

[fertygo]

Shirobako's great but Mizushima undoubtedly gonna get his hand on another original work again, so I'm not sad.. the whole series is quite conclusive too.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

RIN-NE Episode 18 – Kain the Shirushigami

Good start to a multiepisode arc. Having everyone work together for Rinne was something that I really wanted to happen, and also to involve his father again (second best antagonist). Kain is a bit dull but at least looks nice.

 

[Ascheroth]

Gintama - 283

Gintama continues being on a roll, that was yet another hilarious episode. I think my sides died a few times.

Yes, Gintokis advice is always spot on.

Shogun episodes have yet to dissapoint. And the face game was strong this episode:

And many more.

Are we getting Umaru and Gangsta today or is the switch to Sundays permanent?

Sky Wizards Academy Episode 5 Key to Victory

Good kanata scenes, and Gladius is a must have.

Moving on to a serious event instead of the typical Lecty, Misora stuff will make the series feel a bit better. Hope it can be exciting.

So Saori Hayami is voicing Fubuki, fuck yesssss! Honestly as much as I like Hanazawa Kana it would be pretty meh if she voiced Fubuki.

I'm really curious if the adaptation is 2cours. I mean it has Sweet Mask casted.

 

[Moaradin]

Fubuki huh? Makes me wonder how far this will go. I don't think she had much of a role early on.

If I remember correctly she was shown in that side chapter in the beginning of the series with her lackeys.

Right, I remember something about that. Thanks for the link. I guess this is confirmation on the dub and to be honest the main story here is that Only Yesterday is getting a dub My favorite Ghibli film, hopefully this allows it to get released in the US and Europe on BD and that the film can get appreciated my as many people as possible.

Okay yeah now I am sold. I mean I saw "space battleship" on the title, but for the Yamato to literally look like a sea battleship that can travel in space, that's just awesome. Gonna keep going!

Durarara X2 17

Not too much too say about this one. Mikado and Aoba's relationship gets some needed detail which is nice. I'm also happy to see Ruri reappear again. Her's is one of the more intriguing side stories in my opinion.

Sore ga Seiyuu 05

So not only did this episode feature a cameo by Horie Yui (Persona 4's Satonaka Chie) as herself, the animation used for the ending song was also pretty much a parody of Tales Of series game openings done by the one of the Tales of game designer.

This show is so meta. It's not Shirobako level yet, but it's pretty good.

 

[names2hard4you]

It is

That's just awesome. I'm liking everything about the show so far.

Just watched episode 3, Yamato's canon 2 OP.

Haganai (Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai) S1 ep.1-END:
Ok, so I wanted to clear something else off my MAL backlog, so I marathoned through this one the past couple days. I thought it sounded interesting, but unfortunately, there was nothing really redeeming to spending all that time watching it. It was mild drama, no romance, mild comedy, etc.The fan service with little sis was annoying as hell, but thankfully, it was only at a few spots, but still not needed. Oh well, I the synopsis sounded really interesting but I guess the execution was average.

Yeah, looking at their message it looks like we won't be getting it right away. Hopefully it doesn't take them too long to begin adding the episodes.

While our discussion on NGNL is already over, every now and then I get its opening on my anime youtube playlist and am reminded of how good it was. I also remember that it did something interesting by actually integrating the ending with a particular plot point when

Non Non Biyori S2 05

All of those disasters happening to Koma can't have just been coincidence, surely! Truly, the world was out to get her this episode.

I have no idea why this line made me laugh as much as it did. Perhaps it's that Renge has taken for a fact that the world wants to see Koma miserable.

 

[names2hard4you]

Seems like there's Umaru today

Wait, speaking of Girls und Panzer, would that work for the next Let's Watch?

Shirobako deserves that #1 spot, but there's no excuse for Ookiku Furikabutte being so low. It should be right behind Shirobako.

 

[nintendoman58]

I have so many good ideas for that Let's Watch thing of yours Cornbread.

It'd be interesting to put Heroman on there. That's a lesser known mecha anime based off a manga made by Stan Lee! That'd definitely be an interesting watch for the thread!

It's over 20 episodes though, and that's the problem. Does the length really HAVE to be less than 14 episodes? It kind of limits things a lot.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Not sure if this has been talked about here but Ghibli's Only Yesterday has been listed with an english dub. If true Only Yesterday may finally be getting an NA release at some point down the road.

Overlord 1-5

Why is this anime so enjoyable? Man does having a Skeleton as a protagonist help elevate the series. I mean the guy is considered more of a villain than your everyday hero. It's just fun seeing Papa Bones destroying fodders in his way. Ainz does seem more of a anti-hero of some sort. Anyway these 5 episodes were pretty good and it seems like we're getting more of the plot.

The reaction faces in this anime are GOLD.😊

This is just too good.

Overlord Ending
