A Place Further than the Universe ended, with something rare, a proper ending. I loved it, should be the best of the season.

Well, Yuru Camp, also ended on a great note and i quite enjoyed it...

Was curious about Gundam Build Divers... avoid like the plague if youre a serious mecha fan.

It like gundam build fighters but even even more child centric.

Theyve kinda gone all DBZ/DBS with different character races -- One character was a dog... second episode touched on "I love gunpla/I want to play gunpla/I want to battle" themes just like buildfighters did but now theres a gay dude in it.....

Now.....

I aint got nuthin against people being gay. I aint got anything against people that personally identify as furries or anything else. But adding a gay dude, a dog along side a character called 'Captain Rommel' with a team called '7th panzer division' (he was the dog too btw) and im sitting here asking myself why.

It just feels to me that some angry parent called the animation studio up and grilled them out for the anime not being socially or racially diverse enough so they add these wildcards in there to teach acceptance alongside their "I love gunpla" theme...

Oh and speaking of being diverse. Theres also a black dude in there too so ya'll aint left out.

Why the fuck would you do this sunrise??? This is one step to making the whole franchise about 'idols' that save the world through singing and dancing rather than operating fast and furious heavy duty machinery and opening a can of whoopass on another like minded dude who is also sitting inside some heavy duty machinery...

Also with the rommel dog guy it just felt like they also tried to teach history with it as rommel is a pretty good strategist.

I really dont know......... someone help me.

::EDIT::

Oh and Episode 2 is starting to twist it around to becoming like Pokemon or beyblade....

We've probably beaten the show into the ground at this point, but I just watched Pacific Rim and feel like it had some deliberate nods to Evangelion. A super fun movie by itself though.

The director was inspired by Evangelion. I was bored enough to watch some of the directors cut commentary

GoldenX · Apr 7, 2018

I think there is some Tengen Toppa too.

time to visit Japan....
https://animeanime.jp/article/2018/04/12/37367.html

The first collaboration cafe of animation "Cowboy Bebop" and "Animate Cafe" was decided. It will be open for a limited time from May 15 to June 10 at two stores, "Good Smile × Animate Cafe" in Tokyo · Akihabara and Osaka · Nihonbashi.

ShurikN · Apr 12, 2018

Cool, might go visit it.

LightningJR · Apr 12, 2018

Man, some great anime starting again. SAO, Steins Gate 0, Food Wars, My Hero Academia. More coming soon like Attack on Titan, another SAO, Fairy Tail. Oh man, at least for me this is a great year for anime. If One Punch Man arrives this year and more DBS I might just cry

jormungand · Apr 12, 2018

Dbs for 2019 and i wanna see how goes OPM with the new studio cuz the bar is high on that one

same thoughts, so much good stuff has come back!

Space Lynx · Apr 13, 2018

I am very very new to anime, always dismissed it as cartoon for kids stuff, so I never watched it. 29 started watching it, best friend told me to try Death Note. Couldn't stop, binged it over night and didn't sleep. I have a few episodes of One Punch Man left, and I absolutely love it, though the storyline kind of seems dumb to me,

that Saitama is Class C even though he destroys the meteor early on... just seems a little silly to me the eye witnesses didn't vouch for him and auto make him Class S

... but other than that I love it.

So far:

Death Note 10/10
Lost Village 4/10
Re:Zero 9/10
One Punch Man 8/10

Next up: Code Geass, HunterxHunter, AoT.

It's safe to say I love anime now, and feel like a complete idiot for dismissing it all those years. (oddly enough my family now things I am watching cartoons and has even made jests at me about it... hehehe fools will be fools)

GoldenX · Apr 13, 2018

Obligatory recommendation of Fullmetal Alchemist (Brotherhood), Neon Genesis Evangelion and Cowboy Bebop.
On a more emotional side, try to make your family watch the movies Your Name and A Silent Voice, see if they still think animation is only for kids..

I had the same issue with one punch man, I'm just hoping that in season 2 they don't keep him that way. It seems like an overused plot device in anime and in TV. Maybe don't start AoT until the new season comes out though. Every season ends with more questions than good answers imo so I'd put that one off if you have enough other shows to fill the gap.
I might have to check out Re:Zero

(talking to lynx here) +1 for FMA:B obviously, but I'll just add my two cents and say that if you go through a few posts back we all talked about how weird Evangelion is. And it is that weird. Take what you expect and add a bit to it. It's one of the few anime I've managed to get into recently though so I'd say it's good. As for Cowboy Bebop I never got into that one, but I've been really busy. I might try it again over the summer.

GoldenX · Apr 13, 2018

Cowboy Bebop feels more like an USA episodic show than an anime, and it's one of the few shows I can watch dubbed in english, or even in latin american spanish, something VERY rare, you usually want to kill those narmy voice actors; we never get good dubs. Weird thing is, the latam dub is based on the original japanese, instead of cheaping out and translating from the english one.

djisas · Apr 13, 2018

Talking about FMA, i enjoyed the first one mote...
That's my 1 cent opinion...

bubbleawsome · Apr 13, 2018

Ooh, forgot one. Castlevania on Netflix is very good and very short. (4 eps, total under 2 hours) Very well done though and I liked the atmosphere. Very violent.

ShurikN · Apr 13, 2018

Hinamatsuri the hidden gem of this season.
Golden Kamui is fairly interesting after the first ep.
Waiting for Full Metal Panic to round up the Spring season, which is probably the best one I've seen in a very long time (2~3 years)

Vya Domus · Apr 13, 2018

Just finished B the Beginning , it was pretty good.

FreedomEclipse · Apr 13, 2018

Been getting into some oldskool mechashit

I cant find a working torrent for it ANYWHERE however complete seasons (where there are two) do exist for streaming.

I remember watching this as a kid absolutely mesmerised -- it was so cool!!!!

FreedomEclipse · Apr 19, 2018

Coming to the end of uchuu senkan yamato 2199. What an amazing anime and great soundtrack!! I downloaded it years ago but forgot about it. I honestly thought that i had picked up the older 80s version of the anime. Has a great storyline and soundtrack.

though Its not without some possible continuity errors, small jumps in the storyline that make no sense and of course battleship Yamato herself taking some serious serious damage from enemy fire but still managing to buff it out while travelling in space??? I honestly have no idea where they get their endless resources from. gaping holes are left after fights, main cannons are absolutely FUBA or even destroyed but in very same episode or the next one, its working again a little later and everything looks absolutely normal as if they just started their journey...

I think there was only an episode near the end where they carried the battle damaged yamato look to the next episode that then got buffed out with the rest of the damage a few hours or days later without the help of a dry dock or repair dock with access to some serious tools.

Maybe Im just being too pedantic.

kurosagi01 · Apr 20, 2018

A sequel to gundam unicorn been announced, just started watching persona 5 animation with my gf as she is a fan of persona 5. Build divers isn't that bad I can tolerate it if fights are good.

FreedomEclipse · Apr 20, 2018

Dicks out for Unicorn sequel
