The thing is that anime has focused to much on softening for bigger audiences... cmon!!!! The killing the rape and bunch of gore series are out there from the best times of anime. This is no DC or marvel. Balalaika kills 2 kids cold blood in Black lagoon.
Edited 2 sick minded kids

What i think that misslead people perspective from a seinen anime was the art... imo is like watching a shounen art with seinen story

It's not like there was another series who did something similar, right?
Made in Abyss was awesome.

Claymore was recent, and that was classic brutal.. Ninja Scroll style.

And it only gets better in the manga, more gore and nudity...

 

[morpha]

okay so Zombieland Saga... I dont get it. Aside from the shitty pun with the word SAGA.

 

[GoldenX]

Me neither.
Enjoying Bunny Girl so far and I'm giving Goblin Slayer the benefit of the doubt. Having an almighty character is all right if it's something like Alucard, and not like Kirito.

Is it bad i've only watched and finished the 12 episodes for One punch man last week??
Addicted to the opening song at the moment.

 

[GoldenX]

Listen to Watamote's one.

WTF, I'm not sure if I can do this, but it's better if you see it for yourself:

Watched Castlevania S2, and it's fantastic. If you liked S1 you'll love S2; as in, it's 5am and I binged the whole thing. Also it isn't very 'soft' so all you whining about that will enjoy it haha.
I really like the characters too.

Spoiler for final episode.

I gotta say, poor Alucard man. All that's happened to him, and then his friends leave (for understandable reasons) and he has to deal with the whole emptiness of the place by himself. It actually made me really sad

I loved Claymore. I just wish that it was longer.

Well, you can read the claymore manga, it's pretty expansive compared to the anime...

Ive read it. That's why I said I wish the anime was longer. There is just so much more to the story that isn't explained or shown in the anime

 

[bubbleawsome]

Well now that AoT is on break and I've binged all of Castlevania I needed something else to fill my time with.

I jumped on the MHA train.
It's actually pretty good.
Still kinda disappointing I caved.

I get that.. but usually I like 20-30 eps personally. But if anything deserves longer, it's series like that. It annoys me that it's usually more traditionally shounen/younger oriented series that are longer.

Watching JoJo's Bizzare Adventures now. Season 2 was lit. And I also liked the fact that the main character was voiced by the same voice actor as Gintoki from Gintama.

I really liked Jojo up to that point. Curious if you will like it further. He changed the powers from Hamon to "Stands" later, and it just changes the whole martial art dynamic to me. Like it goes from Fist of the North Star cool to Yu-gi-oh cheesy.

Plus, grandson Jotaro is a huge dick. Treat your mom well, kids.

edit: Ironically, the Stand mimics Kenshiro's attack from Fist of the North Star. But the Stands themselves are cheesy to me. I kind of understand why he wanted to differentiate himself from traditional "power ups" in anime, but if anything deserved to stick to the old style, it was Jojo.

I only saw a couple episodes of season 3, but yeah, i don' t really like Jotaro's attitude so far. The whole Stand thing is kinda weird, I've also liked Hamon more. I'm not excited about the return of Dio as well, but I hope the plot gets more interesting when I'll watch it further.

So. I watched the second season of Castlevania. It feels like they just wanted to rush through the rest of the story without much build up as the previous season. So much to pack in into 8 not even 30min episodes (intro/outro takes at least a minute or two??)

I remember how the first series left on such an abrupt cliff hanger but this seems pretty 'meh' like "I waited half a year just for this???"

 

[GoldenX]

...(intro/outro takes at least a minute or two??)...

One and a half each, improve your weaboo level.

I normally skip anyway

Watched S1 of Castlevania myself for halloween, watched 1st episode of S2 but will leave my impression after i've finished.
Does make me want give the games a proper go, played Rondo of blood on the PSP and didn't get far as I was not prepared for the difficulty lol.

Well after binging all of MHA in about 4 days I really really like it. Sure, it’s not super serious, it’s a little repetitive, and a lot of power seems to come from ‘believing in yourself’ but after watching so many serious and depressing shows this is exactly what I needed. It fits its role well.

Technically it’s really well done. Good animation with fantastic shading and colors, really makes it pop. I like the drawing style and I’d say action is above average. I only watched fan subs so I can’t comment on official subs or dub.

I know I’m basically the prime audience (male from 13-21) but I also like the humor. Even the short ‘throwaway’ jokes that don’t even get a reaction are usually good. The serious moments are only rarely spoiled by a joke or gaff.

Something I think would be cool. Season 3 spoilers.

Spoiler: season 3

I would love it if All for One is done. He can still have battles of wit with All Might from the prison, and maybe Handsy guy could try to break him out, but I hope All Might’s ‘sacrifice’ is used to actually put this old and powerful villain away for good and now Deku and Handsy act as continuations for both of them.

Some Opinions as I have seen this debate in comment section of Youtube...for those who watched anime in english first and then japanese.
I remember watching the english dub for Yugioh,DBZ and Tekkaman Blade and enjoyed it, now older and accessed to japanese version. I just can't stand the cheesy music and dialogue of english dub.
