Anime What are you currently watching?

[Divine]

Just got around to watching Kaguya-sama Love is War as recommended by Architect of Life and have greatly enjoyed the show. Overall I've never really seen a concept such as "Don't tell each other you love them, make the other person say it first" which I thought was an interesting take on the typical main character being a ditz and not knowing that the female character is in love with them. Great show overall, highly recommend it.

Finally got around to watching My Hero Academia, while I do think it is a pretty DECENT show. I wouldn't consider it a classic already, compared to Hunter x Hunter (which I would consider the best shounen) this show is not the greatest. Overall I think it's a pretty average show that has decent animation, it definitely deserves to be up there with some good shows but not the greats, not yet.

No Game No Life is the first Isekai anime that I've watched and I also greatly enjoyed this show, it was a blast to watch how Sora and Shiro would outsmart their opponents. I really wish this show would have a second season but considering it's been 5 years since the last season I highly doubt there will be a second. Overall for my first Isekai anime I thought the show was great, and highly recommend it to anyone who's never seen an Isekai before.

I keep forgetting how many animes I've watched recently but I have also watched Seven Deadly Sins pretty recently. I'm really enjoying that show, (waiting on new season to be over so I can binge it on netflix.) The badassness of Escanor in the second season when he gets in the fight with Estarossa is just absolutely beautiful. Escanor is easily one of my favorite anime characters of all time, along with that the story of King and Diane being fleshed out in the second season I also thought was quite beautiful. The second season of the show I definitely enjoyed way more then the first even though I thought the first season was still solid. (Season 2 with 4 episodes doesn't count as a season by itself so I'm including it with Season 3.)

Divine If you liked No Game No Life you should try watching the movie that was released sometime last year, "No Game No Life: Zero". It doesn't really focus on the main story or Shiro and Sora but it gives some more back story of how the world they now live in came to be. Watched it with heidi and pretty boy , was overall pretty enjoyable to watch

Damon I'll definitely give it a shot, thanks for the recommendation!

Watching Overlord 3 which is really nice so far.

About to start Fate Grand Order Babylonia,I played it on the mobile game and it's pretty well written out in terms of the other stories besides Camelot which is getting a sweet movie adaptation.


I'm coming back to watching Fire Force as it seems more episodes have arrived.

No Game No Life will most likely never see a second season for the same reason Log Horizon won't see a third. There is a huge negative stigma associated with those series now and studios don't want to be associated with it. No Game No Life was charged with (and the author admitted to) plagiarism. Log Horizon's author was committing tax fraud from the royalties associated with his works and served jail time. Log Horizon's author spent years trying to find a new publisher for the light novel, and Madhouse dropped the second season of No Game No Life because of the association. Usually in the West we shrug issues like that off, but in these Japanese business world, those issues have a lot more weight.

As for me, finally finished Shuumatsu no Izetta (I think I posted I was watching that a couple of pages back. It was alright. Nothing to write home about. Maybe I'll get a review up for it if I find the time. Anywho, now it's on to the next one on the list: Mouretsu Pirates

It sounds interesting and I'm looking forward to it.

I watched Psychic School Wars this morning. I was fooled by cool visuals! Honestly some of the best art and animation I have ever seen. The story is too disjointed to redeem it though. Quite the production value though. Definitely a skip though.

Cory in the House and Airplane Instruction Videos from the 80s.

Just finished Cory in the House!

Simon it's like you totally ignored the review I made on that movie! But it looks like we had a similar takeaway. It had some nice visuals, but at the end of the day it was lacking it pretty much all the other areas.

I should make sure I check your posts before I watch anything from now on - we both gave it the same rating haha. I read a few little reviews but thought maybe the visuals could save mediocre story.... it did not! Lol.

I've recently been getting back into anime sense I fell out of it about a year ago, but at the moment I'm currently watching HxH, My hero academia, Kaguya-sama Love is War due to Divine recommending it, and Attack on Titan. I'll make another post once I finish them.


Side note: Spongebob needs to become an anime. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WCbjCyauLA

I take it you may be watching Naruto: Shippuden then! I think original Naruto was only 5 seasons. Enjoy!

I've been watching JoJo's

Currently re watching tokyo ghoul because I lost all hope for season 4 of MHA

A Certain Magical Index. I started watching Index because it was one of the first shows I added to my Plan to Watch list? ten years ago. Figured I should finally give it a try. I?m halfway through now and will totally finish it, but I?m not sure this show has aged very well.

Is it bad? No. Is it good? It?s sort of? average. Maybe ten years ago things were different, but it isn?t offering me quite enough to love it. Fights are just OK, dialogue is OK, story is a little unmemorable.

Will likely watch Railgun still though... I recall it being good when I watched an episode or two a very long time ago.

It?s sort of the same way I felt when I watched Haruhi. I could see why it was good when it was made, but didn?t feel it?s a total ?must watch? show or anything. It felt like it had aged a lot and wasn?t an overly fun watch as a whole. Granted, the movie is amazing and THAT is a must watch.

After watching the abridged series too many times I gave Hellsing Ultimate a shot. I'm about halfway now. It's dark, gory, but then has these cartoony funny moments. It's actually a fairly good story though and it's quite well done. Plus makes the abridged series even funnier when you realize what they're making fun of.

Just a quick shoutout to everyone who continues to contribute to this thread - I love coming to see what everyone is watching and their thoughts, shows they want to share, and new users who have come around. It's great to keep a nice thread going like this for 2 years+ years now. Thanks everyone!

I finally got to see Racsal Does Not Dream of a Dreaming Girl! I've been waiting ages for it and it did not fall short. Spoiler free thoughts:

If you liked the series, it's a clear must-watch. Sakuta faces more decisions that are life altering and incredibly difficult to make. It's an emotional roller coaster that will have your own heart trying to sort itself out.

I loved all the characters in the series and getting more from them was really wonderful. They held up great still. A little comedy here and there, but the feels are unavoidable.

Good music, good art and animation, as expected. Worth your time for sure if you have been waiting for this.

Simon I really enjoyed Rascal does not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai. Wasn't even aware they came out with a movie; need to see it and super happy to hear you said it's great!

Also, hi to all; I'm still around. Unfortunately, my CR account got hacked, and the AH deleted my viewing history, as well as junk queued up whatever BS they were watching. Had to rebuild my favorite lists (which is still not accurate) and am working my way back through all the animes again...

Most recent anime's watched: High School Prodigies Have it Easy Even in Another World (trashy isekai anime, but I'm enjoying it)
Haikyu! (re-watching for 4th time...? 5th?)
Sword Art Online Season 1 (should I watch the latest season...?)
Record of Grancrest War (Finished, definitely enjoyed this fantasy anime)

Possible upcoming animes to watch/rewatch: Beautiful Bones; My Roommate is a Cat; Ambition of Oda Nobuna; New Game!; Isekai Izakaya; Midnight Occult Civil Servants (made it through Ep 1-5 previously); Restaurant to Another World; No Game No Life; Your Lie in April.

Assuming I find time besides studying for my CPA every damn waking moment I'm not working...
