I see. The characters in Kaiju and Hell's Paradise are generally more likeable/less annoying than the ones in CSM, that's for sure. Feel free to lmk what you think when you do get to them!
Oh just some basic stuff, like how Makima seems to be the big antagonist/villain and the stuff that happens to Aki (Himeno died, the contract he made with the Future Devil, him waving around huge death flags everywhere). From what I've seen, most of the big hype seems to be coming from the manga readers and what's to come. I myself don't think this first season was special, but I think it was a decent setup and shows potential to become great later on. Especially compared to all the other recent big battle shounen, anyways - JJK, Kaiju No. 8, Hell's Paradise - which all are known to only go downhill lol. But yea, hopefully the sequels will live up to the hype.
Lol yeah, I definitely find Denji and Power annoying as well. As far as season one goes, those two don't get any development. I have no idea why they're so popular either. But uhh...in episode 6 you'll probably find someone who's somehow even more annoying than those two. No problem, lmk! Though most of the big stuff happens in ep. 8-9 iirc.
Hehe xD Those kinds of reversed gender trope dynamics are always so amusing.
Hey! I disliked the first 5 episodes of CSM and started enjoying the show from episode 8 onwards since things got a bit more crazy and unpredictable, although there's a lot of gore/shock value and disturbing themes. And the characters don't get any less annoying. The only characters I like are Aki and Makima. So I do think the story gets more interesting later on, but I can't exactly say if it's worth it or not. If you're leaning more on the side of dropping it, I can give you spoilers that might pique your interest, if you'd like.
Oh and I see you have Maomao on your favorites! Glad to see it, she's such an interesting and fun female protagonist. Excited for the second season!
ooo that's good to know, I definitely recommend reading the manga. you can start with the anime and continue with the manga because the animation is very choppy.
oop yeah, the first few arcs are definitely weak. for me, the alabasta arc (which happens around episode 100) was the best so far in terms of fight scenes, drama and scale. you do need a level of commitment to pull through and I never thought I'd muster it up yet here we are. I'm interested to see when I'll burn out.
ooh I've seen the first three seasons of haikyuu. I watched the first at around 2019 and I expected better from it but it improved as it went on. some matches are really good so look forward to them. I also recently caught up to the blue lock manga and it exceeded my expectations, I didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I did, I recommend it.
omg, congratulations. I hope you have an easy path ahead of you :) I'm not really worried about missing school but more about lacking the necessary experience and extracurriculars to get to a good university.
nothing much but i started one piece at the beginning of april!!
I never thought it'd happen but here we are.
other than that, everything's been the same. just going through high-school :)
hbuu?
Love triangles are rarely ever executed well so same, although I'm at least thankful that the love triangle drama didn't last very long. I particularly like how chill Itsuomi acts with Oushi, they have an unexpectedly hilarious dynamic. And how Emma moved on from Itsuomi without much of a fuss. Though I admit I'm having a bit of a hard time being on full board of the main ship, since there wasn't much build up of them falling in love and Itsuomi & Yuki still don't seem to know much about one another yet. Hopefully that'll change in the sequel. But yeah, I'm also glad the anime was more on the wholesome side. Glad you enjoyed it!
Yeah I wasn't surprised they both got a sequel announced so quickly, especially Apothecary Diaries. I'd bet anything that Sign of Affection is going to get one within the next few years as well. Well, apparently Kimi ni Todoke is getting another season after 13 years, so I'm praying the shoujo era is making a comeback.
Ah okay, that's good! As long as there's no love triangle, I'm good lol.
Btw, there's a YT animated series called Alien Stage that I recommend and think you'd like! I'd label it as psychological horror. There're several MVs that would take ~20 mins total to watch so it's not very long, but each one tells a story and literally every single frame is important to analyze and understand what's going on. No pressure to watch it ofc, but lmk if you do cause I've been watching/listening to the videos on repeat for the past few days lol.
