It should be mandatory watching for any anime fan especially for when it comes to how a good adaptation can elevate a work.

Daisuki finally added more Beyblade Burst...but they removed the first three episodes. Odd strategy for streaming.
Beyblade Burst Episode 4
Best way of sleeping, lol.
Ken is hilarious, Im glad we have a character like him in the show. So different from the cast of the usual types (hyperactive go getter Valt, the hardcore powerful, though seemingly talkative and friendly Shu). Ken makes the best faces after being put in different social situations than he is used to.
Still didnt understand what took more preference, a Burst Finish or just being blown out of the stage.

You could cut the first hour from the film and lose nothing. I shouldn't be bored when I go into a movie that is a sequel to the most exciting action film in a while.

Funimation getting it instead of aniplex was the best of news honestly. Hopefully they will put out a nice collector edition like sentai did for Knight of Sidonia.

They better put that Kill la Kill dub on netflix or CR eventually. I have been waiting to watch it because I want to watch it dub :/
First, I'm pretty sure that Seven Deadly Sins has its international rights owned by Kodansha; their logo appears on some European releases of the series, if I'm remembering right. I don't believe that Aniplex of Japan licensed it to Funimation, and that would go against recent behavior we've seen from them.
Second, regarding the bolded, that's just... ignoring reality. Which you're free to do so, of course, but you're just wrong. Like, Sentai gave Penguindrum a garbage release which I'll never buy, but I still know that they released it in North America. That's just the truth of the matter.
It's one of the five best dubs I've ever watched, and I've watched a lot of dubs.
I dropped it because I couldn't handle the bridge scene back then. There's only way to go.

Hmm. Might have to finish at sone point. They were insufferable towards the end of S1 at times.

nope aniplex doesn't release any titles in north america, I just have to import them from Europe and Australia.
I'm up to like 15 imported series now. yay
still hoping sword art online goes on sale for cheap somewhere sometime.
I'd like to pay like $50 per season at most
So it's The Raid 2 of action movie sequels?
firehawk12
Subete no aware
No, because at least The Raid 2 amps up the action with wacky sequences like the camera in the car scene. There is one interesting sequence in JW2 but I still think the nightclub scene from 1 is my favourite of the two movies.
(That new subway stop in NYC looks baller though)
Maybe it's just me? lol

Beyblade Episode 18 (engdub)[/B]
Silly episode unless they are going to have Riley come back later to be someone that the Bladebreakers will end up facing. I just wanted to get to America tournament already.

Wouldn't you lose anyone's motivation for why they did anything after the first hour?
And I wasn't keeping track, but I think
the tunnel shootout and the knife fight with common happens in the first hour
good thing you already have tickets to the action movie of the century next month
?????????????
I thought you already got tickets for the sword art online movie?
That's not next month. I'm watching it on the 25th.
ah I thought it was march.
well either way at least you will go see that
It's only in March for the losers who voted in Trump.

Sure, they're shippable!
The one sequence in JW is perhaps technically as interesting, if you consider the problem of actually shooting the sequence in the space... but it's definitely not as thrilling.
So... I guess JW2 is better than The Raid 2 inasmuch as The Raid 2's story was so pointless it actively got in the way of the action sequences. But if you aren't invested in the fictional assassin world of the first film, then you'll find a lot of that world building to be pretty dull. If you think the coins and the hotel and all that stuff was the bees knees, then perhaps you'd get a lot more out of the non-shooty bits of the film.

Of course the friend who had nothing to say for almost the entire episode knew exactly what Bag-chan was. THE PLOT THICKENS!!!!!

Filler episodes can often be fun, this one was no exception to that. Lucky is an athletic beast.

I dont really give a shit about the mythos of the John Wick world (its cool enough to hold the movie) but the ending sequences made it matter, they were cool as hell

never asked, is john wick 2 good? I'm assuming it's good just not as good as the first.

Dai-Guard #17 I'd Like to Sleep as if Dreaming
A heterodyme as big as a city is impressive, though I guess it strongly implies that the end of the anime wont be one in which the origin and end of the heterodyme threat will be explored? Sad.
Akagi and co need to return to the Daiguard. Saiki crew is terrible.

It's funny, to bring it to anime, it's the opposite of what I want out of a shounen show. I just want 2 hours of people being shot in the face.
If I could do it over again, I'd probably wait for someone to just upload the cool bits to Youtube, as someone inevitably always does.
I almost did the stupid thing and paid extra for Dbox, but that would have been such a waste of money. lol

Does nobody kill another cute puppy?
You may only ship him with either Alex Winter or Gary Busey.
John Wick 2 is the Eureka AO of action movie sequels.
What the fuck is this shitty hot take?

sweet. I can finally stop bothering Ann from Pied Pipper to rescue it
it's not amazing (aka a 10/10) but it's a fun series that does little wrong with a number of good episodes (aka I gave it a 9/10
).I hate that I have to worry about this... but I really hope that funimation dubs it.
I can't think of a ton of reason why they won't, but they are skipping dubs on some of their recent older anime rescues like ninjajou or whatever it's called that recently came out

It's like The Raid 2 if Raid 2 was actually good.

The start is rather slow and is effectively mystery of the week format and establishing the relationships between the main characters of the story until about halfway through then it turns into an almost entirely different kind of show.
I honestly enjoyed it and it is probably my favorite detective style anime.

AW HELL NAW. When you start insulting the Raid 2, the booties come off ma paws.
Shiiiiit. I clearly need to watch this movie.

OK so I'm about 10 episodes into Haikyuu now and I'm just thinking it's ok. Like, it's not bad, but it's also not really grabbing my attention.
Anime Catch Up Post
Yuri on Ice 1-5
Really love the animation here. The color palette is really warm and adds a level of humanity that unfortunately isn't duplicated enough. Reminds me of Natsume's Book of Friends for some reason.
Also I honestly thought this was gonna be a show about lesbians on ice. I can never tell with sports anime in Japan of the homoerotic overtones are intentional or not.
Than again it is men's figure skating and it's interesting to get a look at a sport and culture that isn't given a platform outside of the Olympics.
Yowamushi Pedal New generation 1-6
The cgi is way better than it was in the first series. I think they have learned to hide the awkward angles. So far jack shit story line has happened and this was around the part in the manga where I lapsed so it will be interesting to see what happens next in the story,
Momokuri 1-8
This is a fun little watch so far. Nothing to deep and I like how you get both the make and female perspective on their relationship. I feel like it isn't as common as it should be. Fun little shojo series.
Haikyu!! 3rd season
Once again the animation is top notch. They really captured the vibe of the manga and the franitic pace of team vollyball.
All Out 1-18
I've been laughing at this one with just how blatant of a rip off of Haikyu!! it is. Its really campy and has been an easy watch.
Also everyone has freakish quads just like real life rugby players.
Masamume-kuns Revenge 1-4
I like the premise. It takes the harem rom com formula and mixes it up a bit. I was enjoying the fact that we didn't have protagonist amnesia as an excuse to not remember a girl when all of a sudden it appears that trope has been fulfilled.
