Essential What Anime are you currently watching?

[tripleaamin]

I feel you on the initial run vibe, but I feel like if it's something that truly looks dope to me, I'll go and check it out eventually no matter the length or how long ago it was. I tell nikkas that missed Black Clover to go back and watch that shyt cuz I think its dope af.

I caught Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood later on and still agreed with nikkas calling it classic. I binged the fukk outta that lol
Did that with FOTNS too cuz I never saw the 2nd part where he crosses the ocean to go back to his homeland. So I started the series from the very beginning. shyt is like 200 something episodes total.

I know Naruto, Bleach and OP have way more episodes then the shyt I named, but its still the same concept to me. If I missed out on a 1000 episode boxing themed anime, nothing would stop me from going back to watch that.

It's just like @Copy Ninja said, once you kinda get introduced to anime from the adult themed door, its hard to go back to some kiddie looking shyt no matter how dope it might look or what others say about it.

I'm on episode 8 of Super Cube and my goodness that shyt is fukking lava rocks.

Black Clover is 170 episodes, so that doesn't sound too bad to get through. Just waiting for the anime to come back first with the mange ending soon. At least with bleach minus filler, you're looking at 200. Plus TYBW could serve as decent motivation. Though lowkey you can get away watching TYBW first.

I think Naruto is like 400 canon episodes. One Piece is over 1000 episodes. Yeah, that's far too much. One Piece anime basically adapts one chapter per episode. Might as well read the manga at that point. Usually, anime adapt 3–5 chapters on average.

Are you talking about animation or storytelling?

Cuz ain't nothing adult about black clover imo it's just Fairy Tail with a different skin. They have all the same themes as kiddie animation shows.


Ranking of Kings is more adult themed than both those shows but they purposefully went with a children's book animation style. Would you view it as kiddie based on the animation or actually follow the plot?



To Be Hero X probably got the most adult theme storylines going this year btw you gonna fold one of these days and see for yourself


And like @tripleaamin said, Naruto/One piece are different level when it comes to "catching up" I don't care how much anyone likes anime, ain't no WAY someone is gonna start watching those shows from episode 1 and catch up without developing some physical ailment from sitting so long. You're animation argument falls flat when we get to Shippuden, that's standard anime quality still, nothing kiddie about it.


FMA brotherhood is short in anime terms so catching up on that ain't a big deal at all, Black Clover ain't that hard to catch up on either

I'll never catch up on One Piece way too fukking long and takes way too long to get good. If the show is decent I can see myself catching up to a 200 episode anime. I tried watching bleach but the shyt was boring as fukk for me. I never watched Shippuden outside of the fights. Original Naruto I will do rewatches but I'll stop after the end of the Sasuke Retrieval arch the rest of the the original Naruto is trash and filler. Last longish show I did a catch up on was HunterXHunter.

Agreed

Tho I always have to remind myself that Greed Island was indeed an arc in HunterXHunter my god that arc was trash


I feel like I only watched bleach when it came on TV

One Piece you can deadass skip hundreds of episodes and not miss a thing I've dropped and picked that show back up without catching up on the part I missed so many times, same with the manga, that shyt is the definition of a bloated series

Man they took the depression up by 300% at the start of the episode.

Spoiler: Black Butler: Emerald Witch Arc - Episode 8

Man, they are cruel for adding the recap from last episode. But the first half took what was there and uplifted the depression to another level. Not only was Sieglinde used. She was used ever since she was young. The time she spent with Wolfram and the other woman, she was simply used. Just beyond awful.

The whole backstory of the science project makes me wonder what Sieglinde's father would have wanted. Because of the failed experiment, she used and manipulated her daughter to have success that she couldn't. The face of that woman doesn't even do justice to how awful and ugly of a person she is on the inside. They couldn't wait for the daughter to grow up somewhat. It's funny even with Sebastian, a literal demon in the room, she is worse than any demon.

I was curious what Ciel wanted to do. Of course, it is evident he is sick of what Sieglinde went through. The dead look in her eyes was saddening. Though I loved his words to inspire her. Yes, you created an ultimate poison, but your genius in doing that could also lead to the ultimate medicine. Obviously, scientific wise, finding a cure is harder than creating a poison for it. But the point of getting Sieglinde to live was well done.

No surprise they were no match for Sebastian. It seems Wolfram and the 3 women are part of a military of somewhat. It makes sense with how Wolfram was communicating with Hilde. Hopefully, Sieglinde can make it out and be happy. I am curious if Wolfram with stick to his guns because it is clear he hates what he is doing to Sieglinde.

Spoiler: Shoshimin: How to become Ordinary Season 2 - Episode 8

And so Osanai begins her path for revenge again.

Kobato getting hit like that happened so fast my jaw dropped. Though one thing very interesting in the conversation between Kobato and Kengo is that Hisaka from when Kobato was in middle school had a similar accident. Though how Kobato reacts when Kengo says he heard Hisaka committed suicide. The fact he said just because he attempted suicide doesn't mean he succeeded is out of character. As he is usually more so calm. So, is Hisaka alive? More than likely, his experience holds a clue to what is happening in the present.

This is really the first time we see the true abnormal Kobato. I can see why people got irritated with him. Getting himself involved in a case just for clear curiosity. We also find out Osanai was around where Hisaka got hit. Could he have been Osanai's partner from before? Though interesting, we see when these two first met.

Today's Lazarus was okay, the rescue was dope

Nobody caring about Skinner for real yet again but it is what it is at this point

I think ya'll nikkas are missing my point.

If its an anime that appeals to me, then I don't give a fukk how long it is, I'll watch it. That's why I gave the boxing example because everybody knows I'm a huge boxing fan so I'd watch that shyt. I even referenced FOTNS which has over 200 episodes.

Bleach, Naruto, One Piece, that shyt don't appeal to me like that. I'm not shytting on them. I've seen clips from each show and some of its fire, but nothing fire enough to make me watch that shyt. Especially when nikkas always mention all the filler they have. Hell, even my boxing students are big anime fans and they be telling me about Naruto and etc..and that shyt still don't move me.

My resolve is on a different level when it comes to committing myself to something. Ya'll are talking too a nikka that been going live every Sunday and Thursday on youtube to talk boxing and hiphop since 2018. Trust me, if those 3 shows were as dope as nikkas say they are, I'd been watch it.

Hell if I missed 500 episodes of God of High School, I'd make sure to watch that shyt, but then again I know ya'll don't fukk with that show so my comparisons never work.

Nah fam you're missing out.

glad i waited to binge S2 of solo leveling this is a proper way to make OP main. if the manwha wasnt vertical, i'd read that shyt

 

[twan83]

Lol





this kinda funny and got me thinking what category are yall?!


i think im probably more of a Sub Watcher (slide 6 )

I must be a super OG cuz I didn't get introduced to anime through Pokemon or DBZ.

They need a tier for the nikkas that were put on by Fist of the North Star, Ninja Scroll. fukking Thundercats and Ronin Warriors. nikkas who used to cop the manga vhs tapes with the not for kids sticker on it, but the store clerk fukked with you and let you buy it.

All these blogs be literally thinking anime started the year 2000 or some shyt.

I fit in a lot of the categories but I’m like you super OG
Thundercats ninja scroll hell yea ronin warriors (when they merged)
Buying vhs tapes also then gotta put ur finger in and rewind that shyt cuz the damn film messed up
Recording anime in vhs at the right time and unfortunately overwriting what’s on the vhs

 

[MushroomX]

I don't understand any of this WIND BREAKER lore. First Season it was all about Rival Schools, Second Season this shyt has turned into RIVER CITY RANSOM. Where are the parents? How can they let kids enter adult entertainment venues. Why is every night feel like some kind of Royal Rumble meets FINAL FIGHT?

Lets not even mention the FURIN School System.

Not surprised at Solo leveling dominating the Anime awards

Not surprised at Solo leveling dominating the Anime awards

of course it was gonna win



it was easily the best anime this year and at the rate it’s going…. It can potentially become the Greatest Anime of All Time taking AOT spot which is holding that title and sitting on that throne!!
