What animes have you guys been watching lately?

[C0FFINCASE]

Have you watched Isekai quartet? It's got the cast of a hand full of isekai shows including Konosuba. Not a very serious show but it's cool to see how the different characters would interact with each other.

I watch it here and there. I love all the shows on it so it's fun.

also have weathering with you on my watch list. its the same people that did your name right?

Did you see Weathering? I haven't found a place to stream it.

[Cyanoxide]

Did you see Weathering? I haven't found a place to stream it.

I actually didn't watch it in the end. I was going to watch it Saturday just gone but when I opened it up it was only cam quality and it had been mislabeled ): I can still send a link if you don't mind cam.

I'm watching ID: Invaded at the moment, I wouldn't say it's the best thing but it's interesting enough. Very "Minority report".

I found some cam quality. I was hoping you had the line on something better. All good.

I'll checkout ID

in love with k-on! now

[Cyanoxide]

in love with k-on! now

I believe I only watched the first episode of K-on. I didn't really give it much of a chance. Not sure why I dropped it so quickly but if you like K-on I've heard good things about "A place further than the universe" though I haven't watched it yet so I can't confirm. I also really enjoyed "Her lie in April" which isn't really the same type of show but it is about students making music so it's similar enough and it also made me cry at one point haha.

I'm currently watching Darwin's game. It's definitely trying to go for the edginess factor, especially in the first episode but it's an all right watch. I'm about half way through it at the moment. It's basically Mirai Nikki, battle royale, hunger games etc but the gimmick is that it's a smartphone game.

[Kingz V]

Your Lie in April made me cry too, i definitely put k-on! and that in the same bucket.

also in progress we started bento and bofuri.

and uhhh been re-watching all of dbz for the lols. been watching alot of different anime

Haha, I rewatched DBZ a few years back and loved it, in contrast though I really can't seem to get into Super. It just feels so different. To be fair, it's probably the same and I'm just seeing DBZ through nostalgia goggles 😅

I just finished Somali and the forest spirit and Darwin's game yesterday. I've got a few episodes of ID: Invaded left that I'll probably finish later today. Not sure what I'll go with next. I do have Bofuri on my list but I'm not sure if that's what I'm feeling right now. I guess we will see later.

As for the three I mentioned above. Somali is great but you can probably pass on the other two.

Try In/Spectre, it has a great premise. There have been some random extras for That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime. If you like Somali, you might like If It's For My Daughter I'd Even Defeat a Demon Lord. If you like music anime try Given.

I don't know all that much about In/Spectre but I'll give it a look. I do keep seeing it pop up.

I saw that there were a few OVA's out for Konosuba, Reincarnated as a Slime and the MILF-sekai, though it's actual name escapes me  I've got a bit of a backlog of OVA's. For whatever reason I never seem to watch any of them. I think it might be down to their length and how isolated from the main plots they usually are.

As for "If it's for my Daughter", I've already watched that one and thought it was a pretty good watch, though I've heard that some pretty weird shit is meant to happen later on in the series.

I started playing Persona 5 Royal the other day so I imagine my anime consumption is going to drop for a while now.

[C0FFINCASE]

the MILF-sekai

Such a confusing show. Very.

Seton Academy Join the Pack is also a confusing show.

[Cyanoxide]

You've got to give them credit for all the ways they've come up with to bleed the isekai genre dry 😅 and I just googled Seton and it definitely seems very confusing.

Speaking of confusing, I just finished the last episode of ID: Invaded and I'm really not sure what happened. I kind of want to watch an explainer video on youtube or something to try to make sense of the last two episodes but at the same time I really don't care enough to put in the effort.

I mean it's all softcore porn and escapism.

Yeah, I hear that it does next to nothing to explain itself and you have to pick up everything as you go. I appreciate those kinds of shows. I need to watch ID.

[Cyanoxide]

It all made sense to me until the last few episodes then some confusing shit started happening. Annoyingly despite all that, it was super obvious who the villain was going to be quite early on but they made a big reveal of it anyway as if it was a shock.

Somewhat unrelated but it sort of reminded me of the movie Primer, now that's a movie that's hard to wrap your head around 😅

[C0FFINCASE]

I feel like we haven't gotten a susinct, solid anime in awhile. Everyone is on that shonen "half the episode is suspence, nothing happens, let's have 20 sessons" model rather than "let me tell you a story." Things like "Kids on the Slope" and "Cowboy Bebop" seem so much better to me because they tell me what they have to say and then let me live with it.

Yeah, I get that. I actually started building a web app to help with that. I never finished it because I wanted to redo it in react and never got around to it but it was a community driven episode aggregator that would pull in API data on a show and let people vote on how crucial each episode is to the main plot of a show. I started it ages ago after watching FMA Brotherhood because even though there are 60+ episodes, you could cut out quite a significant chunk of it without it effecting the main story. I called it "Fillerless" 😅

The hero we need.


So happy Academia's plot is moving again.

Haha, one day I'll get round to finishing it but I doubt it will be any time soon. My pile of unfinished projects just gets larger and larger. I've even stopped working on my Triple Triad game that I started last month too. I'm a terrible human being haha!

The first half of season 4 is so good. Probably my favourite batch of episodes out of all the seasons so far. I bet it's even better now it can be watched all together rather than in 20 minute installments once a week but unfortunately after the half way point it just grinds to a halt until the final episode. After the final episode I'm pumped for the next season but it's still kind of lame how they handle it.

I'm currently watching Nanbaka. It's not really my sort of thing but my friend has been going on about it for years so I finally caved in and gave it a watch. Despite not really being a fan of this type of anime I will admit that it is currently holding my interest well enough.

[C0FFINCASE]

Nanbaka is also not my thing. Like JoJo or Bobobobobo.

Yeah, seasons ending during the middle of quaruntine is not great. lol. Luckly animation has largely been unaffected since everyone works from home any way.

[Cyanoxide]

Yeah I complete agree, not that there's been anything memorable this season. I think I'll see how I feel after I finish season 1 of Nanbaka. If I can't be bothered to watch season 2 I'll probably take a look through some of the older stuff that's kicking about (not super old or anything, just stuff from a few years back) and see what I can sink my teeth into. Or perhaps I'll rewatch something, I know there are a few shows that I've been looking forward to rewatching and I haven't done that in a while.

I'm showing my girlfriend Eva and IGPX.

[Kingz V]

fuck i totally forgot about IGPX

just about finished ben-to the other night.

[Cyanoxide]

I just finished up Nanbaka, I decided to watch the second season because I couldn't decide on what else I should watch. I'd say the second season is better than the first but it ends quite abruptly with the main plot unresolved and considering season 2 came out 3 years ago my hopes aren't too high for it to get concluded.

I also finished Infinite Dendrogram yesterday as I realised I hadn't seen the last episode. I think I mentioned it in an earlier post but save yourself the time and skip this one. It's just a super generic Isekai.

I'm going to start In/Spectre next now that the season is finished and there are also a few new shows on my radar too. I'm quite intrigued by Tower of God for example.

I can't decide if Tower of God is worth my time or not. I need to watch some of it I guess.

[Cyanoxide]

I'm not sure how I feel about In/Spectre. It's definitely not the same but it kind of reminds me a bit of Mushi-shi. I will keep watching to see how it goes but it's not what I was expecting.

It has very Mushi-shi vibes. It gets more action-y as time goes on but they strike an interesting balance. It was nothing like I expected to go in and I was super happy with the setup.

[Kingz V]

im ok, i've just about finished 300 episodes rewatch of dragonball z.

I've never been all that big of a Star Wars fan if I'm honest. I've watched them all, and like many others, I enjoyed the originals but not the prequel or sequel trilogies. That being said, I did very much enjoy the Mandalorian series last season.

I think the Rise of Skywalker is the best movie. It should have been expanded to be 90% of the sequel movies because so much actually happens and it requires so much lore knowledge but if you have the background it's a ridiculously deep movie with a lot of pay off.

[Kingz V]

i've moved on to watching this yuri/romance called bloom into you and im already getting emotional

I've heard good things about that one. I'm not sure what I plan to watch next as I haven't given it too much thought but I finished In/Spectre last night so I'll likely be on the hunt again pretty soon. I'm still not sure how I feel about In/Spectre though. I liked the characters and the premise but I didn't find myself very motivated to continue watching. Especially the last couple of episodes. They felt pretty drawn out.

It did drag a bit. I'm also trying to find a show to care about. I've been catching up on Tower of God but I'm not super into it.

That's quite interesting. I'm going to wait for it to end before I give it a watch but it's the only thing this season that has caught my attention. I ended up watching the new(ish) Violet Evergarden movie last night and it was a good watch. Made me kind of want to rewatch the season but I'm probably just going to get through my ova backlog until I find a new series.

I know I started Violet Evergarden at some point but got bord of typewriters.

So I finally watched Weathering with you and it was just as enjoyable as I was expecting. Not as good as Your name but a good watch all the same and the artwork was also superb throughout. One thing I noticed that seemed sort of weird though is that it features real brands like for example there's a scene inside a mcdonalds. I guess the budget was high enough that they could afford to licence the real brand but I'm just so used to seeing knock off versions in anime.

I'm now watching Beastars which I had my doubts about but I decided to give it a watch because it was made by the same people as "Land of the Lustrous" and I've been hearing nothing but good things from people about it. It's another one of those shows that I enjoy watching but I am in no great rush to continue, normally I watch an episode every few days or so. It's got a "Wolf among us" vibe to it too which is a nice bonus.

[C0FFINCASE]

I've been meaning to watch Beaststars. I'll have to check it out. I tried out Midnight Gospel which was interesting but you definitely need to be in the mood for(also no anime).
