Akudama Drive. About halfway through it.
Pretty cool show.
Does it already have an annoying underage fanbase like everything else Kodaka's been involved with? I haven't gone looking.

Dragon Maid S is missing something from season 1 but I can't put my finger on it.

My Next Life as a Villainess s2 on the other hand feels like a continuation of season 1.

It might have to do with the fact that it is directed by a different person since the one in charge of S1 died in the arson attack.

Idaten is a refreshing take on the 'teens with superpowers' formula. Being stronger than the villains and removing them the moment they appear instead of wasting whole arcs fighting them or leaving them to reappear in the future is something I fully welcome!

Just watched Porco Rosso with some friends. I'd never seen it before, so I had no idea what to expect, even though I knew it had some rave reviews (like most Ghibli films). It was pretty good all around! The animation was great and the political subtext was nice. That poor pig ;_;

I'm watching Prizma Iliya anime after reading Fate Stay Night and Hollow Ataraxia. It's nice to see more of best girl, but her personality is completely different, it isn't really the same character. I like to imagine that this is the previous Iliya playing the role of the new one, and once the director says "cut" she goes back to her real self, and all people who film with her are even a bit afraid of her.

38 Name: Anonymous Otaku : 2022-05-15 21:48 ID:Heaven

>>37
Going from Zero, FSN, and UBW to Prisma is basically going to a spin-off in the same universe. It's an entirely different genre with familiar characters. I'd liken it more to a show like Madoka or other Mahou Shoujo shows than an actual Fate series.
My god Prisma is a good show though and as I've gotten older I find I prefer the Mahou Shoujo genre over traditional highschool fantasy action.

39 Name: Anonymous Otaku : 2022-05-18 04:12 ID:Heaven

Not sure about that show being good, but cumtastic it undeniably is. I only watched first season. I'm not sure why I wasn't that satisfied by fighting scenes in that anime, either I got spoiled by mainline fate fights which are just hard to top period, maybe use of slowmo and drama and slow pace in genera, maybe I don't like to see little girls risking their life, maybe magic cheapens fights while I'd rather watch real wars or legal battles or people tricking people out of their money or anything else actually useful in life.

Madoka to Mahou Shoujo genre is like Evangelion to Mecha genre, an edgy deconstruction of a long running genre. I'd rather you name Kard Kaptor Sakura or Mirumo de Pon or Kreamy Mami.

Think of this as indie animation, but with budget and by actual professionals. A series of short 5-10 minute animated shorts that aren't connected to each other. You probably heard of Me!Me!Me!, well, that was one of those. Some of those are fun or cute or cool or lewd, some of those are boring and depressing, very depressing, god fucking kill me depressing.

I couldn't find subs for those. I haven't really looked for them though, maybe they are easily available.

Watching some pussydrama while you practically gave up on ever having children is irritating, watching somebody die over and over is much more satisfying. Original Fate Stay Night vn is practically a "hey kid, want to experience 50 exciting ways to die in first person?". Everything feels like a downgrade after that.

Watched Illya mahou shoujo a bit more, introduction of Kuro feels like it addressed my complaint before. If you want peaceful life, you want to unmeet all the people you have met before. I will now try to imagine that Kuro and Iliya would make good old Iliya if joined together. It's rare to have to imagine one character split into two.

Still cumtastic.

Right now, just Chimimo and Digimon Ghost Game.
Chimimo just started but it seems so far like it's going to be a hidden gem. I really dig the artstyle, it reminds me of Neko Atsume. I'm impressed that they've committed to doing full episodes when at first glance it looks like another one of those series that only does shorts.
Ghost Game is right up there with Tamers and Savers in my book, a number of fans have complained about the leisurely pace of the series so far, but I have enjoyed all the ghost stories that they've been telling. From the sound of things, they're finally going to kick the plot into high gear soon, and not a moment too soon, because tonight's episode felt like a rehash of the Splashmon one from a few weeks ago and the first sign that they're starting to run out of monsters of the week.

Just finished Erased (highly recommend) and just started Demon Slayer because 2 of my friends says it's the best starter anime (I'm new to anime - that's literally all I've seen).

anyway, watch Erased if you haven't. It's actually really well made.

53 Name: Anonymous Otaku : 2024-06-21 13:59 ID:Heaven

I've been watching Seiyuu Radio no Uraomote. I love that feeling of female rivalry growing into friendship. Especially a gyaru and a quiet studious girl...

>>52
I also liked Erased a lot. The English title for the anime is a bit odd, the Japanese translates to "town with only me".
Don't think there is a "best starter anime", people have different interests and different preferred genres. It may be a good shounen.
There's an almost infinite amount of anime and manga out there when you're new so take your time and enjoy whatever interests you the most. If you liked Erased and want to recapture that feeling you'll probably like some other things with a "Psychological" tag. Try out some different genres too over time. Don't worry about what's most popular.

I watched your name yesterday. It was very good. The two main characters don't know each other so it creates a really cool dynamic and I thought it was very well made.

I'm watching anyamal tantei kiruminzoo. Really good magical girl anime, very much enjoying it. But as someone used to my 12 episode one cour anime, 50 episodes of highly episodic slice of life can be pretty slow to get through.

I'm watching Nichijou. It's exactly my humour and I wish there were more episodes. Also the drawing style is really cute and sometimes funny, just as everything else about the show.

59 Name: Anonymous Otaku : 2024-11-12 06:35 ID:gb9k3AZN

As of yesterday, I started watching Yuyushiki. It's a really nice CGDCT type of show, and I like it. However, I'm confused how it's pronounced. In the short breaks in the middle of it, they always say it, but they don't say the i, that comes after the sh ("Yuyushki"). Maybe I'm just overhearing it, but this always confuses me.

60 Name: Anonymous Otaku : 2024-11-12 06:51 ID:/0cHbrwt

>>59
In 東京弁 (Tokyo dialect) it's pretty common to drop the final vovel of a word so yuyushiki can quickly become yuyushk. As for when it's shki instead of shiki, し (shi) often becomes Sh when there's a hard sound like tsu 質問 or ki 四季 after, but I don't think there's a hard rule for it.

Are you enjoying the show? I just finished all the Non Non Biyori seasons (cute and relaxing rural life show) and started Gakkou Gurashi.

I finished Gakku Gurashi. Very fun slice of life show.
Just download it and enjoy the show. If you must know what it's about, there's a few cute girls living at school as part of club activities. I'd actually recommend you don't know more than that, makes it more exciting. ☆(ゝω・)

Thanks for the explanation. Yes, I really like the show. I'm at 10 out 12 episodes right now and will probably finish the show this evening. In particular the fact that there are virtually no male characters (except for the god of blessing), is weirdly comforting, however as a minor nitpick, I didn't understand the scene where the girls tried to make their teacher cry, it just seemed out out character and unfitting. but maybe

63 Name: Anonymous Otaku : 2024-11-18 01:54 ID:hR0+Iusl

I’m about halfway through Kamichu. It’s a sweet little show all but spoilt by poor pacing and one or two bad episodes, like the one where the entire episode is just Yurie lying around in bed. There is a real warmth to the characters and the retro visual aesthetic is pretty. The core message is positive but not hamfisted.
