Life got in the way?

Well, I've read all of my manga online. The problem is not purchasing one - the problem is the high shipping fees I'll have to incur, which is extra money out of my pocket, which will never reach the mangaka. I'd rather just donate to their Patreons, but their Japanese pride disallows them from asking for donations.

I used to think that too. And now look at my stats haha

There isn't enough of it in anime, but truckloads of it in manga.

What kinda speshul are ya?

I don't get to see many guys openly asking for Shounen Ai recs.

Nice to meet you :)

Hopelijk helpt dit =p En ja je hebt al wat goede anime gezien ^^ eindelijk nog eens een man van mijn leeftijd die ook shounen ai kijkt, kom je niet veel tegen! Of eigenlijk gewoon mensen van onze leeftijd die anime kijken helaas .... ;w;

Here's another piece of wisdom: whenever I finish a really good anime, I wonder why I didn't watch it before. But, one of the reasons I enjoy what I watch a lot is because when I feel like watching something, I pick shows depending on my mood and that's when the themes usually hit the right spot. Otherwise, you might end up floating through a show and miss the emotional impact. For example, Yuru Camp felt extra amazing because it was a comfy show during a dark, cold season. So yeah, I get you, but time will tell when it's the perfect moment for me to pick up BNHA and I know I won't regret it.

Never started watching it. Maybe one day I get the urge to binge everything and get hooked; that's how I roll.

It's the worst to feel you're forced to keep up if you're not in the mood, because that's how you burn out.

^.^ Graag gedaan! Aangezien we in dezelfde club en stad zitten . =) Als je een anime suggestie ofzo wilt mag je gerust vragen ^^

LN is worth a read! It has its pros and cons in comparison to the anime, but it's too complicated to explain briefly so... just read it yourself. Time will tell if the animated sequel(s) will stir things up.

So far what piqued my interest / I tried out this season:
Tada-kun wa Koi wo Shinai
Comic girls
Megalo Box
Akkun to Kanojo
Golden Kamuy
Hinamatsuri
Hisone to Maso-tan
S;G 0
Darling in the Franxx continuing
BNHA s3 if I feel like starting the series from scratch at some point

Who knows if I pick up something more. After all, I watched 14 seasonal anime last season and it was 100% worth the ride.

Yo, I'm fine.

Just finished VE. I'm surprised how KyoAni managed to wrap this show up in a solid manner, despite the anime original plot. I find the plot focusing on Violet moving on and getting over Gilbert better and more impactful than the LN disney-like ending with a completely alternate timeline you could say (no spoilerino but it's an interesting read for sure).

I liked the anime overall until ep 12. The action parts were just plain bad, and the change of pace and focus on plot kinda ruined the feeling I had going for the show. Also it simply felt rushed, and in the end I didn't shed a tear in the last 2 eps... meh. It's understandable that in the anime they wanted to make her a 100% pacifist, whereas in the LN she's basically carrying an arsenal of concealed weapons with her at all times. It makes sense considering how much she regrets her past. Also just chilling on top of a train in full speed, even in tunnel xDDDD

It wouldn't have hurt to adapt the prison and cult arc, since they could have shed some light on Violet's origin, the war and so on. It kinda felt some lore was missing, even though the LN didn't explain Violet's origin either, but at least it gave us some tease (cult arc depending on how you wanna interpret the LN). The good parts of the anime were definitely 10/10 material, and the anime was amazing while held to the episodic approach. The way the ending was handled was just disappointing and in the sense of what this anime tried to convey; imo the train arc was completely unnecessary. In the end, my score would be a strong 8/10

Yo, long time no see!

Violet/Evergarden: Unlimited Tear Works

This anime surpassed all my expectations so far, and we finally got my favorite chapter adapted! How did you like the last couple of episodes? I have no idea how they're going to conclude the story (original or LN ending) but I feel the flow of tears isn't going to end anytime soon.

Guess what? I gave in to my curiosity and read the VE light novels.

The anime's been focusing heavily on Violet's growth so far and that's something the LN's are really lacking especially early on (fun fact: the adaptation's been almost entirely anime original so far!). The direction the anime is taking has SOOOOO much potential to skyrocket the original story to new heights. I can say this anime truly has the potential to become one of the best slow burn shows ever if the makers hit the right chords!

You'll be in for a treat, especially since ep 3 is the strongest episode so far imo. Take your time and wait for stars to align – you won't regret it.

So far nothing groundbreaking has happened yet: just lilliputian yet very important steps for our characters. It's not just Violet growing, but also the side characters understanding/expressing their true feelings better thanks to Violet. I just really really hope the whole package stays consistent until the end without rushing. No idea what surprises await us, but my seatbelt's fastened real tight that's for sure!
