Made a movie from a western viewpoint and dropped most of what made GitS cool.

That and black Bruce Wayne has me with all hope lost in Hollywood.
I can only imagine what will episode 9 be.

I'm not watching anything this season so far, only Kotobuki. As a WW2 fighter's fan, I like it, but it needs more plot (both) to be interesting.

Hey didnt Kotobuki up the "plot" last episode, at least dogfights are borderline prn for me...

Im watching endro, it a fun one, Kakegurui is borderline insane; watching dororo this is fantasy done right, like ninja scroll and darker shit; im watching Fukigen na Mononokean s2 just because watched s1 but it's pretty skipable; Yakusoku no Neverland it started interesting but i feel it's going downhill, so much to complain about; and i also picked Manaria friends, great animation and "plot" but not much going on, still enjoyable though...

Again i feel im watching too much...

I've been watching so much recently. For this season I'm watching Rise of the Shield Hero, Slime, and Kaguya-sama Love is War live. I'm also currently watching Konosuba S2, already finished S1.
I also finished Bunnygirl Senpai, and since then I've watched Gabriel Dropout, Goblin Slayer, and A Place Further than the Universe.

If you haven't seen A Place Further than the Universe watch it, it's so good.

Best of 2018, and 2018 was great.

Is anyone else checking out gen:LOCK?

I've watched the first 4 episodes, and enjoyed it. It's definitely not pure Japanese Anime (capital "A" there), but I've always enjoyed mecha-type animation, and they do a good job. Story line is slightly predictable, but they present it well.

Oh wow this thread exists. I love anime and manga and the animation style and characters but I don't really watch a lot of it. Well I watched one called "Spirited Away" and i loved it. Maybe I should get more into it. My favourite type of anime (not 100% sure it is?) are chibis. They are just too adorable ^-^

No, the axe is broken, we are now with plan B, the IKEA dagger.

Watch the usual popular anime every season. While Bunny Girl Senpai was good I think Goblin Slayer was phenomenal. Two very high production anime I would say. Compared to that Rising of The Shield Hero and Overlord III had glaring production issues. Usually I go on to read up on the source material of the anime if I love it enough. Read up on the whole translations (upto volume 13) of Rising of the Shield Hero. While I initially liked the premise of Tensei Slime, starting to hate the lovey dovey world. And how can I forget about Mob Psycho 100. Saw the first season a few months back and was pleasantly surprised it was getting a 2nd season. Would've read the manga but the drawing looks a little ugly. So might hold on to that. Also watched Saga of Tanya the Evil a few months back and sped up on Golden Kamuy. Brütal is the word to describe these two. While there are ofc more brutal anime I haven't watched but these two perfectly show how brutal people can be to each other.

Forgot to start watching Golden kamui 2 season, concerning Goblin Slayer, it fell short in some point to me, im referring to the anime of course.

GoldenX · Feb 27, 2019

Only 3 for me right now, DomeKano, Love is War and Kotobuki. First one is pretty good, second is great, last one is very lackbuster (and GCish), but it has some great dogfights.

For me the sound design was awesome in Goblin Slayer. Some people were comparing it to medieval doom and I can't disagree. Waiting for OST/Blu-ray to release.

Some all-star cast names in that show, michael b jordan and maisie williams all voice acting for the show..well done rooster teeth you have come along way from good old redvsblue.

I've just started watching the 1st Baki anime and quite intrigued by the whole premise as I'm interested to see the build up now after stopped watching the latest season that is on netflix.

bubbleawsome · Feb 27, 2019

I’m just watching two right now. Dropped Slime, but I’ll probably binge it all at the end of the season. Picked up Love is War instead and I love it, really hilarious show. Still watching Shield Hero too but it isn’t perfect.

Not sure if your opinion is based on the 13 episodes but episode 13-26 are not available on UK netflix so I had to download the remaining episodes to watch.
