So for whom it may concern, D.N. Angel is getting a continuation after a 7 year hiatus starting July. Like, wow, I thought I would go to my grave cradling this dream but now it's actually a thing. Feels weird.

I started watching the new Pokemon anime. People keep saying it's surprisingly great and they're right, it is. The fight scenes are usually pretty weak and there are a lot of pointless filler episodes that are hit or miss, but the animation is fantastic and the writing quality is much higher than I'm used to from a Pokemon anime.

I'll drop the Hourou Musuko manga a resounding recommendation. It's been a true friend to me for the past few weeks, and I couldn't be sadder to part ways with it.

Uh, Boku no Hero Academia guess I'm not really that attracted to anime or manga....

I watch Touhou Memories of Phantasm

Zombieland Saga is like an idol anime on crack and I'm loving every second of it. The concept is so dumb, but it's weird just well it works. I can't believe that they've even managed to make it as dramatic at points as they have without making it feel out-of-place.

I've been obsessing over Gridman lately... I can't stop...

Did anybody see the new Fate movie? I'm not a huge Fate fan but I try to see anime in the theater when I can and there was a showing yesterday. Watched the first part with a bunch of friends Sunday in preparation and we liked it fine, but I REALLY enjoyed the second part. Enough that I kind of wanted to see it again, but unfortunately it's out of theaters already after that one showing.

Watched it last night and holy shit was it excellent. Already can't wait for spring 2020.

You should be able to watch it again in theaters before then once the dub is released. My wife and I actually missed the stateside sub release of the first movie in theaters but caught the dub release; I can't imagine they would have stopped the dub after just one movie.

Oooh that's exciting! One of the guys I saw the first part with earlier missed it and he was really bummed when he heard how much the rest of us liked it.

BT · « **Reply #549 on:** March 15, 2019, 09:38:41 PM »

Just making sure, these are the Heaven's Feel movies, right?

I'm jelly that you guys have anime movies in theaters. :qq:

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #550 on:** March 15, 2019, 09:49:55 PM »

Yeah, Presage Flower and Lost Butterfly. Part 3 is slated for spring of next year.

commandercool · « **Reply #551 on:** March 15, 2019, 09:50:16 PM »

Yeah, those are the ones.

It's inconsistent what we do and don't get. We get all the major stuff (Dragon Ball and Gundam movies) but not some of the more critically acclaimed stuff. I couldn't find a showing of Liz and the Blue Bird or Mirai within driving distance.

Gave Inuyasha a couple episodes on a whim, never having seen it before. First impression is that gorgeous animation style and quality. Wikipedia says it aired in 2000, but it's got that classic handdrawn quality to it from years ago. I view the animation of anime in the early 2000s like I do early CG in movies from that same time period: mostly low quality with the new digital tools, hasn't aged well. Not so with this.

I'm also incredibly surprised by how un-useless and competent(?)/proactive Kagome is. Maybe it changes later, but it seems almost unusual to me.

Most, most likely will not finish the show given how many episodes there are, but I can see why it had such high appeal at the time. Back before anime was a big thing here in the west, all the anime I ever heard people talking about were this, Sailor Moon, and Fruits Basket.

Just saw Penguin Highway. It's fantastic, definitely see it in the theater if you can. I don't want to spoil too much about it, but it's a weird slow surreal movie that is absolutely fascinating. There are some spectacular sequences that wouldn't quite be the same on a small screen. Hiroyasu Ishida is going to be a big deal.

Just want to say that Didn't I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life, while being an isekai and having a stupidly long title, is actually really, really good.

NorwegianboyEE · « **Reply #556 on:** May 05, 2019, 10:11:17 PM »

I read a manga called "Gou-Dere" not so long ago.
It's a older title and very short. But it's extremely funny. I recommend!

Anime to watch this season (imo):
*Carole and Tuesday

*Hitoribocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu

*Kimetsu no Yaiba

*Senryu Shoujo

*Fairy Gone

*Robihachi

*Joushikausei

I'm also reading Goblin Slayer, Kase-san and Tadokoro-san; the latter two are hecking cute, and I recommend them deeply.

PV. Bones' 20th anniversary project, directed by Shinichiro Watanabe (Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Kids on the Slope, Space Dandy). Two girls from different backgrounds find each other and aim to make music together as talented underdogs in a somewhat near future where the majority of entertainment is created by AI. Show's whole vibe is very feel-good, great character chemistry, nice and not-often-seen focus on the music and the creative process and hits hard when it does so. Looks good, great sound design in addition to the actual songs themselves. Probably gay.

A few weeks ago I finished watching the second season of one punch man. Honestly the end of the season was abrupt and rough compared to the first season, that great fight against Boros.

But well, now I'm just waiting for the special chapter of jojo.
The history of rolling stones is boring and something unnecessary added that is abrupt for what happened before.
I just hope that there is an advance of Stone Ocean, that will be worth everything.
