Opening is still the same song which is dope...really like it, music in general is still awesome, my favorite of the new theme songs so far is "To Ashes and Blood" that plays out on episode 3.
Jynx is still the most entertaining part...she has this little kid that looks up to her which is an interesting development and she is teaming up with Sevika, cool combo..their fight scene on episode 2 vs those thugs was freaking good, that gacha arm was funny and dope at the same time xD.
Vi finally became an Enforcer and even Cait changed her outfit...they now have the designs that they had on that "Warriors" video (one of the ones that you send me a link to previously)...also Cait remind me of Jill Valentine with that hat...her Mom died in the explosion which honestly was expected.
Viktor was hurt and that led him to become even less human when the Hextech...saved him?? dude looks like he is becoming the new messiah in that final scene with the folks from the undercity.
Final scene with Jayce, Ekko and the short dude (keep forgeting his name) was insane...I know that Ekko has time manipulation powers in the game, I wonder if what happened to them will be how he gets those powers.
No idea what that scientist dude is doing in the final scenes of each episode...is he creating a beast?? he target those wolves and then there was an heart...whatever he is doing looks freaky.
Mel was "kidnapped" by...the Black Rose?? thats either a character nickname or an organization that has issues with her mom and apparently killed her brother.
Also since I dont play the game I have no idea if any of the new characters are supposed to be a champion or not....will the little kid that follows Jynx became one? (kinda like how Jynx herself started season 1 as a child)...are any of the new Enforcers a champion?..there´s Maddie, her silent friend and the drunk old dude...is Black Rose a character??...by the time you reply the next 3 episodes will probably be out...feel free to mentioned them in your reply, I will be watching them as soon as they came out.
Definitely be doing that from now on (writing the comment on Word first...its really frustrating to lose the entire comment like that).
Im a bit confuse...is Stellar Blade a separated game from Nier? you said "it just had a trailer drop for DLC with Nier Automata"..."with"? so its like a Crossover between diferent games?.
I will definitely be adding Dark Souls 3 to my to play list, its the Souls Game that I see most people talking about after Elden Ring...Im also thinking of playing more runs of Elden Ring trying out different classes.
I clicked in that link and honestly I dont remember that head appearing in the anime xD...interesting that they added characters from other games...its one of those things where players will appreciate while newbies like me dont even register it xD
I heard Luffy right away but Im only now realising that Zoro voiced the alien...though it sounded familiar but couldnt tell from where.
" But yeah, the whole point of this series is getting Okarun’s testicles back ^.^ Stupid fun that can get pretty deep when you don’t expect it too."
That will be the whole plot?? was expecting them to eventually move on to other plotlines...damn what a goal to have:
Luffy - I want to be the King of Pirates
Naruto - I will become Hokage
Okarun - I will get my BALLS back....honestly most relatable goal xD.
"Have you dropped Blue Lock S2? That is one Ive been hearing the animation is as bad as Uzumaki..."
I wouldnt put them on the same level...although even Gigguk made a joke about it in his Fall video xD...in normal scenes the animation is good but when it comes to the sport (the main thing) the quality is a big dowgrade compared to Season 1...some times the characters are frozen in a running position with the camera moving for them xD.
"One thing that gets me though in these time loop anime is when they give up on a promising strategy...What is stopping him calling Reinhard again and just saying don’t kill her? Was there a reason he couldn’t do that. .."
I get what you mean in these scenes...instead of trying the same thing but this time slightly different he moves on to another strategy...the main reason for it is plot convenience xD...Im ok with Garfield...he is a good fighter and has some funny scenes sometimes, although I do hope that his family plot doesnt go on for long...Seriously doubt Echidna will appear, as for Rem I could see it....Gluttony is present and if they defeat him she will wake up I think...maybe he will be one of the first to fall and by the end of the season she appears in the city to help them....odds are low but my hopes are high xD.
Your question about Grimmjow and Nel was answered in the last episode...here and there we are seeing some differences already, the way Ishida shoot down Ichigo played out differently in the anime...really hyped for some of the upcoming fights and especially for the ending...wonder how much Kubo will add to make the ending more ....meaningful.
"Screw the new generation, old men in shounen are bad ass. "
Honestly agreed...but most animes do this trope ..the pass the torch to the next gen thing so it wasnt really a surprise....Im still expecting Rayleigh to die at some point since he is the "master/teacher" for the mc...another trope...im still surprised that you´re a big One Piece fan and yet you decided to stay anime only while on a bunch of other shows you´re reading the manga...the anime OP is great and the animation has improved in the last years but the pacing still has some issues.
Ais is still one of the main girls in Danmachi...even in the latest episode Hestia mentions how she is Bell´s motivation to get stronger....Bell´s arc is actually interesting in this season....everyone´s memories changed and even he is starting to doubt them...its similar to whats happening with Boruto right now in the manga....Naruto was sealed away in another dimension and the character who did it delete everyone´s memories of Boruto being his son and accused him of killing him so now the ninja world is hunting Boruto for being the Hokage´s killer...surprised that more shows dont use this kind of plot.
" I love rain all the time except when driving. And I don’t even hate driving in the rain, I hate everyone elses driving in the rain and I have no patience for getting stuck in traffic xD Playing basketball in my drive way during a storm is one of my goofy little pleasures in life. "
Dont mind driving in the rain if I have the entire road to myself..otherwise its like you said...other people are the problem xD...your basketball example remind me that as a child (and even as teenager) I used to love playing football and volley with the other kids while it was raining....I guess as an adult I grew out of it xD.
Elden Ring was my first time playing an entire Souls Game and I defnitely enjoyed it...Now Im looking at other Soul Games and looking for similar experiences...any recommendation??
A friend of mine recommend me one that he used to play alot but the moment he said "..its not as good as Elden Ring.."...I immediately lost interest...Im looking for either better or at least on the same level.
Thanks for the explanation...the anime definitely could have made some things more clear...but overall the entire show was very enjoyable....there are more nier games right?? are they like continuations?? could the anime have a sequel?...its hard to imagine a proper continuation after this ending...
You should give Agatha a try...its definitely a breath of fresh air when it comes to Marvel shows.
Dandadan was definitely a pleasant surprise...Okarun´s personality change when he is "possessed/combine/whatever" with the Turbo Granny is dope...love how he adds "yo" to his sentences...hopefully that version of the character will stick around....also, why is the grandmother so hot?? she is a grandmother...they are not supposed to be hot xD.
Uzumaki just ended....what you though of it?...alot of the internet is bitching about it...from the animation drop after episode 1 to the skipped content...Honestly if I wasnt told that some content was skipped I wouldnt guess, the story is just so "out of nowhere" that everything just works...as for the animation issue, while it was noticeable it didnt really bother me that much.
So far dont really have any sleeper hits...dropped a few shows already...if youre a Dragon Ball fan I recomend Dragon Ball Daima...aside from Dandadan and Uzumaki everything else Im watching is sequels or sports shows (which I know isnt really your thing).
Im glad the first episode of Re:Zero was long...all of that setup had to be released together otherwise first 2/3 episodes would be a bit boring like you describe...but all of that was necessary setup...there´s alot of characters in that city: Garfield´s family, the other royal candidates and their knights, many archbishops and apparently the body of Satella is buried there??...this will be an interesting arc.
One of the good things about Bleach is precisely the new content that is being added by Kubo...everything you said about Squad 0 is correct...in the manga at least..now we´ll see how much is changed...really hope that certains characters are given more to do...
"Btw One Piece has been awesome. These episodes since the animation upgrade have been so good. .."
They heard you celebrate so they went on hiatus xD....main anime wont come back until next April...until there they will be airing a remake of Fishman Island with better quality and better pacing....about Garp and Koby...it really is the whole new generation thing...Koby is literally following his footsteps:
Garp had a close relationship with Roger who became King of the Pirates....Koby has a close relationship with Luffy
Garp was called the Hero after the God Valley incident...Koby was called the Hero after the Rocky Port incident;
Garp was called the Fist after the incident with Don Chinjao...Koby is probably going in the same direction after this incident where he punched that giant hand to save everyone.
Garp is alive...for now at least...in the manga the crew just arrived on the next island...we´re finally in Elbaf the Land of the Giants....and now the manga is on break for 3 weeks xD.
Always enjoy Danmachi but I think it will be hard to beat the previous arc...also after that arc Ryu become my favorite girl but they keep increasing his harem with a new girl every arc BUT they wont change my opinion....RYU IS BEST GIRL!!!!
PS: My keyboard has been playing tricks on me...accidentally deleted this comment twice..the second time at the very end of my reply...if you´re wondering why some paragraphs are so short, thats why...some of them had more content on them originally but .... I forgot most of it xD.
"But first I should hurry up and go somewhere else you want to go before you. Is South Korea on your radar? I am considering going there next year ^.^ "
You bastard xD...honestly not really interested in South Korea...outside of New Zealand there isnt really other country that I want to visit...but there are places in other countries that I want to visit...its kinda weird really, its like ..I want to see the Wall of China and the Pyramids of Egypt...but im not really interested in visiting those countries aside from those places xD...do you have some place like that?? (you want to visit the place but dont care at all about the country).
"...Sport in the rain is great for instance :D "
Dont really agree with this one...maybe if im just running but even then I feel like the rain will ruin it....besides the more wet I get the worse it is to enjoy the sport unless its something related to water where you´re supposed to get wet...but for example playing any ball sport on land, hiking or any "woods" related activities will suck if its raining ...maybe if its just a bit and then stops its ok but if its a full blown raining day then my plans are doomed...dont mind getting dirty by falling or something like that..Im even ok with mud places to some degree but rain affects my mood...I love rain when im at home xD.
"...Sport is only fun when I am the one physically playing it >.<"
Well...we we´re talking about Quidditch...while Im loving the game I would hate to play the actual quidditch...being seated on a broom??...no thanks xD...would you play the real Quidditch if you had a chance??...pretty sure I would try but I would prefer if I could fly without sitting on a piece of wood >.<
What classes did you try in Elden Ring??
I finish the og game with Samurai (tried a bunch of different swords) but then before the DLC I made a new run as Bandit and I play the DLC with it too.
I definitely need to play Nier...for the science xD..and it does sound like a fun game.
"The girls in red AI that remind me of the red queen from the first RE movie were also a lot more confusing in the anime. Did you understand there purpose?"
They also remind me of the red queen xD...and no I didnt...were they the ones who hacked into their main frame or whatever and caused the virus to spread?? they seemed to be antagonistic but their true purpose was lost on me...the ending was pretty weak...the "villains" just left into space or whatever...what will 9S do now?..is 2B really back?...overall I liked the series but the ending felt a bit anticlimatic.
Im surprised by how much im enjoying Agatha...while I liked the character in Wandavision I wasnt really hyped for a series focused on her but it doesnt even feel like a marvel show...they are doing a Halloween themed show with focus on the witch trials and the combination of comedy moments with mistery is quite fun....apparently some people that dont really watch marvel stuff or are not caught up with it are watching and enjoying it too xD...Agatha´s moments in WandaVision are mentioned and Scarlet Witch is mentioned alot but aside from that it almost feels like its own thing.
About Umbrella Academy...Ben´s plot in the final season was really dumb...as for the characters, Five was my favorite in the first 3 seasons and I freaking hate what they did to him in the final season...also that ending...not a fan..really feels like they rushed the plot just to end it which sucks because the first 2 seasons were legit good stuff...Ghost Ben was the best Ben xD.
About the Fall Season:
Obvious Sequels for me are - Bleach, Blue Lock, Re:Zero, Danmachi and Tower of God
Not sequel but more of a alternative version - Dragon Ball Daima..the last project that Akira Toriyama worked in...im curious to see this version of DB
New shows: Dandadan (Show is so hyped that I had to give it a try....first episode was crazy but the good kind of crazy)..Blue Box (sport series mixed with some romance..2 episodes out and it seems fun so far)...Uzumaki (WHAT THE HELL IS THIS SHOW??...the author has a crazy fascination with spirals and decided to make a show about it and damn...it worked xD...sucks that its only 4 episodes...the black and white really fits the mood of this show... with colours it wouldnt be as good).
Besides Blue Box there are a few others shows that im giving a try but I might still drop them depending on their progress...an isekai called "The Healer Who Was Banished From His Party, Is, in Fact, the Strongest"...there´s another short series called Lockdown Zone: Lv. X..another horror show...weird one but its only 8 episodes and they are short so I already decided that I will watch the all thing (4 out of 8 episodes are already out) and im still waiting for one that starts in November called Murder Mystery of the Dead... its Mistery, Suspense and Supernatural, zombie pandemic and the plot will revolve around a character dying and the killer being someone from the group:
https://myanimelist.net/anime/59892/Murder_Mystery_of_the_Dead
the synopsis seems good...its either gonna be a hidden gem or another show with good synopsis and bad execution.
In the Bear´s defense, my screams can be quite insane xD...age 32 and my lungs are still going strong xDxD.
Camping was great...fortunately the weather was fine (its not always the case when I go camping) we also did some water sports, besides that it was hiking and some ball games...we all like volleyball so we normally make teams and play for quite awhile....been away from society is always the best part thou xD.
I finished Outlaws....if you ever felt like playing Far Cry but in the Star Wars universe...with lots of stealth missions, picking sides between different factions and having to use your pet partner in many ways then this is your game xD...it was OK...the fact that its cannon adds some fun since you can interact with characters like Lando and Jabba...you can visit the place where Han Solo is frozen and see him there and obviously Vader makes an appearance by the end (we dont fight him here...good thing since our style is more stealth takedows...it would be fun to try to do that on Vader xD)....it wasnt bad but I didnt do much besides main mission...I was mostly curious about the story...
Heard about both Black Myth Wukong and Space Marines 2 but not planning on playing either...more than Outlaws I have being spending way more time playing Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions....dont know if you are aware but they change some things about the Quidditch game to make it more fun as game and damn.. it worked...you can also play online...it gives Rocket League vibes to be honest..Im having a blast so far
Pretty much same about Elden Ring...I also play with my self impose rules one of them is also not using Summons vs Bosses (although the way I do it is that I can only use them if it takes me more than 20 tries to defeat the Boss...so I did used them a few times xD)..Rellana was definitely a nightmare...think it took me almost 60 tries to beat her...btw my favorite weapons were the claws and the Bow (Beast Claw and Ansbach's Longbow) one is perfect for close range, the other is good for long range.
Whoever came up with the outfits for 2B and A2 knew what they were doing xD..my gf and I do some cosplay sometimes...next con we go we are planning on going as 2B and 9S...still prefer 2B over A2 although the anime is trying to make me change my mind...now im actually curious to see how the anime will end...9S is so obcessed with vengeance that its hard to imagine a happy ending.
That its true...it seems that everything has Multiverse now...the lack of creativity is showing.
Think i saw some clips of that alien show...by your description it was probably it...not really planning on adding more anime now...Fall season already seems to have quite a few that I will be watching so im saving myself for those.
Live action right now is just Rings of Power Season 2 ...there is another Marvel show coming soon (Agatha the Harkness)...besides that for the rest of the year the ones im waiting are Arcane Season 2 and Dune: Prophecy in November and Squid Game Season 2 in December....did you watch Umbrella Academy? ...dont remember if we talk about this one before...if you do, Season 4/Final Season came out recently, maybe you missed it...got a feeling you talk about this show at some point.
My guess is that you flight over the place where they shot Helms Deep and Minas Tirith...saw the behind the scenes and know that the same place was used for both sets...its one of the most visited places by Lord of the Rings fans (that and the place where they made the Shire with the Hobbit Houses)...both are in my list of places to visit when I eventually make the trip.
"...Yeah I Still need surgery for my shoulder, waiting on the public system sucks and its not good..." ...guess Portugal and Australia have that in common...private hospitals are expensive but when its urgent I always go there...its way faster and more efficient when compared to public hospitals.
"An encounter with a Black Bear!!!! Wtf! I assume it didn’t chase you otherwise you would be making a bigger deal (And rightfully so). Ive never seen a bear in the wild, only zoos."
I lost control of the snowboard and was going down the hill really fast and straight to the trees...I was already screaming because of it but then I saw it in the trees and start screaming even louder...black bears are actually pretty coward..if they are alone you can make them run away by screaming like a maniac and jumping up and down anything that makes you look like a threat to him...when I crashed into a tree (the snowboard took most of the damage) I started looking around expecting him to jump at me but instead saw him running away (I ended up doing the same in the opposite direction xD).
I think Season 2 of Gen V will come first...although they now confirmed a prequel that will focus on Soldier Boy so maybe that comes first...everything turns into a full franchise this days.
Overall I liked the finale but I also thought that Neuman´s death came out to easy...those are super tentacles apparently...who do you think will be the final villain?? Logic says Homelander but now that Butcher saw Ryan killing Mallory he might have lose faith on the boy and thats basically the last ray of hope in Butcher..it would be interesting if they kill Homelander but then Butcher ends being the final boss.
"1 week on 1 week off, that actually sounds pretty ideal. I would totally try and plan little trips… take advantage of that."
It has its perks but these work weeks are tougher than usual..."What is your next week off trip?" next week we´ll go camping for 5 days...away from society...exactly what I need after one of this hellish work weeks xD.
I do know about Ubisoft but this seems to be one of the exceptions...saw some people that got to play ahead and so far only heard good things about it...plus they made it canon which is rare in Star Wars Games and I dont think they would unless they trust the quality of it...but we´ll see when it comes out.
About Elden Ring...I finished the DLC already, for once im ahead of you in a game xD (basically played it for almost 5 days straight last week since we didnt have any major plans)...there has been some riot online about some people finding the game too hard to beat...personally this games arent supposed to be easy but even then I feel that its as hard as it should be...im the type that explores alot before start fighting bosses and this DLC rewards exploration by having you collect the Scadutree Fragments.
Damn....I was needing that explanation;
Some of that I had understood but you filled in some of the gaps...2B´s reasons for doing what she did and how she acts sometimes is what got me sus of her...I think the show could have made a better job at explaining some parts of the plot...it will be interesting to see the conclusion to 9S revenge story....is the game similar to Re6 where you play different routes with different characters and those routes cross over at some points??
I definitely watched Deadpool...its funny how you know a song for so long but dont care about it until that song is featured in some major movie or game...like the Bye Bye Bye song that they played in the intro scene with Deadpool dancing and killing all those guys....know that song for ages but only now im going out of my way to listening to it...in my workplace whenever the boss isnt present we can put music, me and a friend have that song play on repeat the whole time xD.
"...My only real complaint is that I am sick fo the whole multiverse thing..."
Been hearing alot of people say that, and its understandable but we are in the Multiverse Saga...we had the Infinity Saga until Endgame and now its the Multiverse Saga until Secret Wars in 3 years...they finally annouced who´s gonna play Doctor Doom the main villain of Secret Wars and...its Robert Downey Junior...it will be another Chris Evans situation where the other heroes will think that he is Stark but he is a variant from another universe similar to Tony Stark but its actually Victor Doom...the plot of Secret Wars is basically universes colliding and at the end they are all united as one which will be the marvel reboot so that after that we can have Avengers, X Men and Fantastic Four all in the same Earth...the Fantastic Four movie that will come out next year will be taking place in another universe that will then be thrown into Secret Wars too..and the next avengers movie will also be 2 parts like Infinity War and Endgame...we have Avengers Doomsday in 2026 and Avengers Secret Wars in 2027...until then, not every project will be about the Multiverse but some will...so sit tight xD!
1º - First Japan now New Zealand?? this dude goes to all the cool places before me .
2º - "...so now I am typing to you one handed with a fractured collar bone "....holy shit!!!!
Just like Japan, NZealand is another place I really want to visit...the Lord of the Rings fan in me has quite a few places to visit over there...about your injuries..get well soon...got a few injuries myself snowboarding in Canada (used to do that alot back when my family lived there), but nothing more than bruises and scratches...worst thing that happen to me while snowboarding was a close encounter with a black bear that scared both me and him xD.
I liked the college arc in Magus Bride but it was mostly because of the characters...they had a nice group of characters, each of them with their own weird backstory and family dynamics...overall Magus Bride has an interesting world and characters in my opinion.
"...I don’t think its because Sylphie was in the less interesting arc. Her personality is just too timid for me..."
Right after reading this I remember the female characters that you´re normaly into...the mc from Kakegurui, Hange from AOT, Buterfly Hashira from Demon Slayer, etc... and now it all makes sense...Sylphie is definitly not on the same level as those xD.
About the Polygamy thing...didnt knew about it but cant say I was surprised...and im pretty sure it wont take long for Eris to become the third wife ..I mean she was his first after all xD.
Him just being real in Butcher´s imagination wasnt really a big reveal...I see people that react to the episodes and review them and alot of people saw that coming pretty much since the begining...Black Noir did died in Season 3...they confirmed that behind the scenes, the Seven are just hiding his death from the public
Season just ended...thoughts on the end?
Yup Acolyte has really good fight scenes and a weak plot with lazy writing...they decided to have Darth Plagueis appear in the final episode (Palpatine´s master) but even then I dont think it will get a season 2 ...they didnt finish the story but dont know if they will make a continuation considering how bad some people received this...they should have focus more on Qimir (the Sith) he was by far the best part of this and the least explored character.
Dont have many shows this season but I have a weird schedule now so I wont add more for now...basically I am working 1 week and then having a week break..back and forth until the end of September..really weird schedule...me and my friends had to cancel our second trip to Japan since this schedule didnt really work for our plans so instead we keep planing other things for our weeks off like beach, pool, camping etc...because of that im not adding new shows for now (plus there will be new seasons of Rings of Power and the final season of Umbrella Academy soon and when it comes to games I have 2 coming out soon...Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions and Star Wars Outlaws (this Star Wars games is the third canonical game after the 2 with Cal Kestis...this one takes place between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi).
I actually watched that clip before from the Deer anime...the clip pretty much went viral on anime pages on Reddit...is the anime fun? maybe I watch it later...
About Nier...I am watching...and I have no idea whats going on...find myself considering that 2B was the villain after recent episodes (which im pretty sure is not the case....right?)..the way this show came out with the hiatus and the delays really messed things up...can tell that shit hit the fan in recent episodes but the overall plot is very confusing since I forgot alot of plot points from Season 1...did Adam survive? I barely remember...9S died how many times so far? dude is the Krillin of this universe xD.
I watched some episodes of the original X Men series but never the whole thing...and im not watching the new one...with so many Marvel stuff coming out I try to focus on whats canon to the MCU...speaking of that...movie of the year coming later this week ...Deadpool & Wolverine...stop watching trailers cause they were spoiling alot...I think this will be a rare Marvel case where a movie lives up to the hype.
The Correlations is pretty simple...as a big Potter fan that still dreams of receiving his Hogwarts Letter one day (^_^) every show (animated or live action) that takes place on somekind of magic school focusing on its students (like this arc of Mushoku plus recent arc of Magus Bride) is the kind of show I like because....its the kind of thing that I would love to experience in real life xD...just seeing them attend classes in a magic school and live all kind of magic related quests..I love that stuff
"...but comparing being on the road with Eris, the college with Sylphie and rescuing Zenith with Roxy… which would you consider to be the worst part of Mushoku Tensei."
See this is what makes me think that its not the character that you dont like..its the arc that the character is featured...like if Sylphie had went on quests with Rudy and spend the same amount of time we see Rudy spend with Eris or Roxy would you still not like her??...the show could definitely have her be featured in more interesting arcs but the character itself isnt bad...she is a decent fighter, the potential is there.
About Paul...damn...that episode coming out on Father´s Day was messed up..personally I was predicting a death but I was expecting to be Zenith and that being used to separate Paul and Rudy for some reason...dude didnt even have final words, he died almost right away....at least Rudy is playing homage to him by taking a second wife xD
I am caught up with Boys...it seems that the events of Gen V are going on in the background...some of those characters will probably make an appearance later this season...as for the actor of Andre, they will probably recast him.
"These legit or just typical shitty fans."
A bit of both...Acolyte takes place 100 years before episode 1...its an interesting time period to explore and the plot is actually good...but the writing has quite some issues...for example (a few spoilers but somehow I feel you wont mind xD ) on episode 1 a Jedi master is killed in a lame way...she was dominating the fight without even using her lightsaber but then the attacker throws a knife to a bystander and while the Jedi Master is using the force to stop that knife she is hit by a second knife thrown at her and dies....technically speaking its an OK death..its not like a Jedi cant die for being stabbed but its lazy writing to kill a Jedi Master that way...another example is: there are 3 "villains"...the mc is a twin and she is on the side of the jedi but her twin sister is one of the main villains, she has a helper that kind of acts like a fool but has these cool/serious moments and the third is her mysterious master (possibly a sith lord that not even her knows his real identity), one big theory that the fans have is that the fool and the master are the same person...they are never seen together, like I said the fool has these moments where he is more serious which makes people think that the fool thing is just an act...and with so many people predicting that it will either be a good move from the show to fool the audience into thinking that or it will be a very predictable revelation.....basically Acolyte has a good story with some unfortunately lazy writing (the fighting scenes are really dope thou).
"...Kaiju no 8 is fine just not really unique and I am all about unique right now."
Damn...youre still suffering the effects of your anime fatigue..forgot about that...in that aspect I agree since Kaiju is like you said very similar to Attack on Titan...Hoshina even gives me Levi vibes.
I havent looked at next season yet...I know that seasons 2 of Tower of God, Nier Automata and Oshi no Ko are coming...aside from those havent heard anything else yet....the name Sakamoto Days is familiar..probably read about it somewhere...will probably give it a try if its that popular xD....Dandadan is another in the same situation...dont know shit about their plots but their names have reached my ears already.
Edit: So I just took a look at the new season and honestly besides the 3 sequels I mentioned I dont have anything else on my radar...the one you mentioned..Sakamoto Days will only come out next year
Oh....so Light novel is complete...and anime is now ahead of the manga...why does it even have a manga in the first place??...especially now that the anime has surpassed it....also why do you hate Sylphie that much??..is it because you would prefer Rudy to be with someone else or is the character herself that you dont like?
About the College arcs..it depends on the series...I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan so college arcs in shows like Mushoku Tensei, Mashle and Magus Bride I like because it gives me Hogwarts vibes...especially in Mashle where the school is literally based of Hogwarts..dont watch Black Butler so dont know about that one and I dont remember much of Magi...I remember that I liked the show but it was so long ago that I forget pretty much everything about it xD...BUT if its a college arc in a "normal" world..no magic ...then I also find it boring..at that point is just average slice of life...not my thing.
Im done with Gen V...just in time for the Boys in a few days...not much to say...it was great as expected...and I will leave Fallout for later since I dont have time now.
They have been releasing trailers and teasers for House of Dragon for awhile now...it comes out this sunday.
"I haven’t even watched Bad Batch season 3 yet ;_; Have you? If so how is it? Better than season 2? "
A bit better...the fact that is the last season is the biggest appeal because now they are concluding storylines...some episodes still feel like filler but the final arc was nice and the season has a few cameos like Fennec and Ventress..besides the expected appearances off Rex and the Emperor..but Star Wars related what you should watch is Tales of the Empire that came out recently....we had Tales of the Jedi before with 3 episodes for Ashoka and 3 for Dooku...now we had 3 for Morgan Elsebeth and 3 for Barriss Offee..the episodes are also shorts so is a fast watch.
"The most shipped couple in JJK is Gojo and Yuji. Like wtf!?!?!Japan you crazy."
Yup..thats Japan in a nutshell...Yuri and Yaoi are both super popular over there.
"...Rex with Mark’s mum….. you monster. "
Listen OK...milfs have a certain appeal to them...and Rex seems to be that kind of guy...will it happen? ...No...but...you never know xD.
"I love Durarara, so its not like its impossible. But Durarara was special, is wind breaker special >.< "
Ok..thats not a fair comparison xD...if Durarara is a 10 then W.Breaker is a 4...but they are also quite different shows.
"The animation from the Fable opening gives me the impression it isn’t bad, but lazy. Like it looks like it will cut corners and use still frames every chance it gets."
Its definitely not bad in normal scenes but in fight scenes they definitely cut corners...the mc of this is the big appeal for me...probably one of the best main characters of the season ..him alone justifies watching the show...its crazy that both in the opening and the begining of the show he seems like a dumb character but the more you watch the more you like him....but the show itself is pretty average.
"I ended up watching Blue Eye Samurai instead. You heard of that one?"
Never heard of it...not even on MAL??...if its not on MAL its not an anime...thats a universal rule xD.
"...Character wise the only ones I even remembered were Hoshina and Shinomiya."
Well...besides those 2 the others I know by name are Kafka the mc and Mina (his friend/crush) plus Ichikawa who is my favorite so far...but Hoshina and Shinomiya are definitely the highlights when it comes to fight scenes...so far the show keeps getting better..they dont waste much time in between different Kaijuu attacks and that makes the episodes more entertaining...a common trend Im noticing with you is that some arcs that you read and dont like that much ended up looking great in anime...so far we had similar cases with Oshi no Ko, Vinland/Farmland Saga and Mushoku Tensei college arc so now im hype for more Kaijuu because im expecting it to go on the same direction xD
BTW..Season 3 of Kings Avatar is airing right now:
https://myanimelist.net/anime/49559/Quanzhi_Gaoshou_3
Had to rewatch the last 2 episodes of Season 2 to remind myself where it left off...they are basically assembling the team and preparing for the next season..so far the first 2 episodes are already out with english subs.
Maybe they are finally tired to see FMA at number 1 ...watch them reverse it again in a few days xD...personally I think FMA is better than Frieren but I guess nowadays the best show currently airing becomes contender for best of all time.
This latest arc of Mushoku wasnt bad but it was slow...I imagine that reading as a montly would be quite boring (thats why I prefer to watch and not read..better pacing)
That being said im confused...you mention that its montly so I imagine you are caught up, otherwise being montly wouldnt be a problem since you still had chapters to read..but I heard that the story is way ahead of where the anime is so....I AM CONFUSION!!
So about Fallout...after reading your comment I asked my friend about it and....he basically went on a long rant...this is what I caught:
According to him, the show looks good for the most part but it has bad writing (he said something about some lines working well for video games but not for a live action) the acting could be better...something about the acting being cringe in some scenes with certain characters (he mention their names but I dont remember) and the series has some inconsistencies when compared to the game...some changes I imagine...but then he proceed to say that if I would watch it I would probably liked it since I never played the games which made me think that his biggest issue is some lore change or something like that.
I though about watching it but I wanna watch Gen V before the Boys Season 4 ..and besides the Boys next month also has House of Dragon Season 2 and Star Wars Acolyte...that plus all the anime will make it hard...so maybe I will watch Fallout later this year...my friend is also a big Tolkien fan that complaints alot about Rings of Power because of some lore changes for the adaptation...although I love Lord of the Rings and even the Hobbit movies I never read the books so I dont know much of the lore besides those movies therefore I quite enjoyed Rings of Power...so I will probably like Fallout too.
"...If it got another season I would not watch it. Would you? .."
Nope...pretty sure it wont though...the story is pretty much done
I like Eve as a character more then Amber but honestly when it comes to Mark´s partner, Amber was working just fine...until it stopped working xD...I dont really do that thing where you tried to get best boy and best girl together....agreed about Rex..really glad he survived but the lack of information on how he survived is a bit frustrating...I was actually glad that some of them died when that episode ended because it gave some needed realism to it but then it turns out not even Kate died...thats playing to safe...about Rex I dont really need to see him with someone ..I was honestly shipping HIM with Eve xD...but now that she is or will be "taken" dont really know who else could be his partner...both Kate and She-Hulk girl have potential partners already......maybe Rex with Mark´s Mom xD xD.
So about Wind Breaker...the comparison with TRevengers is inevitable since that is probably the biggest series that deals with kids and gangs...but W.Breaker does that part way better, has better characters and no supernatural bs.
The Fable is good, the mc is a really funny guy but it clearly seems that it receive "a weak" anime adaptation...since I prefer to watch over read I will stick to it
Check the opening for Fable and you will get an idea of the type of animation the show received:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8548IZvdTE
"But one you didn’t mention that I have also been considering is Ranger Reject. You heard of this one?"
Nope...first time Im hearing about this show...which is odd cause if it is that good I would have heard of it by now...unless it had a late start..
EDIT: Just realise that I did see people talking about that show but using the name "Go Go Loser Ranger"...I guess some websites translated the name differently...did you watch it?? if so...thoughts??
BTW Kaiju number 8 keeps getting better...I remember you said something about the manga "falling off" for you..does it get bad later on?
"...Im still on standby to watch Mushoku Tensei when Rudy leaves the academy >.>"
For now he is still there...last episode he reunited with Ruijerd for the first time since they went different ways on season 1 and his sisters are also back...for now the show has been quite plain..but the opening teases a battle that seems to involve Rudeus, his father, Roxy and a few others fighting something...hopefully is not just a tease for nothing like some openings do...
Never watched or played Fallout...have a friend that did and he doesnt seem happy with the live action but I couldnt tell you why xD.
"Its kinda insane that its already been green lit for 7 seasons. I don’t know how much I trust that though…."
You misunderstood me..it was only green lit for a season 2 (coming later this year) but one of the producers said that he is confident that they can adapt the whole thing in 6/7 seasons...each season is green lit only if the previous does well (there are exceptions like Shield Hero that after S1 was green lit for S2 and S3 right away but normally its one at the time).
Agreed with you on that...the fights are way better when they are not using the mechs..one episode left and it seems that they are taking mechs to their final fight..oh well...it was fun while it last but dont see myself rewatching this anytime soon xD.
I watch Invincible as it was coming out so no worries....overall really dope...seems that you might be having your ship after all...fell bad for Amber but I also like how they end their romance... I liked how realistic it felt to see them both trying to make it work before coming to the realisation that they lived in 2 different worlds and it wouldnt work out..wasnt expecting their breakout to be so mature..and then future Eve confession pretty much confirms the direction their relationship is going...hope my boy Rex finds a new girl...his arc this season was quite good.
I actually liked the shows im watching...here´s a "short" description of them:
* Wind Breaker -> gang fights...Tokyo Revengers style but this one fixes the ones thing I dislike about TRevengers..the main character...I cant stand Takemitchy and since he is the mc that makes it hard sometimes...like all the other characters more than him...in WBreaker the mc is just...cool...he has his funny moments and is a good fighter...episode 1 has a great fight scene of him vs a few others and boy got the moves...plus good animation overall.
* Viral Hit -> if I were to recomend you one it would be this one...mc is bullied by youtubers (in this universe they call them NewTubers xD) and one day ends up facing one while he is being filmed (they dont know) it goes viral and he actually makes money out if it so he decides to expose other bullys and film it for money...it has my favorite opening of the season and alot of references to real life morons who go around recording themselves doing silly things..3 episodes out and it keeps getting better.
* Kaii to Otome to Kamikakushi - this one gives me Dark Gathering vibes...is this world there are this curses and the mcs go around investigating them and trying to put an end to them...one of the mcs has alot of mystery surrounding him and his young sister while the female mc is walking fanservice...this is one of the shows that has fanservice everywhere even when it doesnt seem to need it..like the main girl has unrealistic huge boobs and the power that she gets earlier allows her to go back and forth between her adult and child bodies so she has alot of scenes where her boobs break her clothes...even the opening is full of fanservice...if the plot wasnt interesting the ecchi would be annoying to be honest but the mistery surrouding the characters and curses is quite good.
* The Fable - Almost drop this one on episode 1 but im glad i didnt...mc is a master assassin but after doing so many jobs his boss asks him to lay low for a full year without killing anyone..he has a female partner to look after him...his personality is a bit weird at first...he just seems dumb all the time but then you start to notice how op he is..he keeps getting put in situations where he can easily kill the opponents but he has to pretend to lose...its gonna have 25 episodes and I dont know if they can make it interesting but so far in 4 episodes its has been good.
EDIT: Gigguk just posted his Spring Anime video and he mentions Fable, Viral Hit and Wind Breaker...as for the other one he gives it a quick mention where he basically just show the main girl´s boobs changing size xD.
Good to know some of this characters will return...the show gave some of them alot of focus, if we didnt see them again then it would be a haste.
"So I wouldn’t be surprised if you went through the effort of remembering her and then she dies first episode next season xD "
Oh Damn...You remind me on how the season ended and now I can totally see that...Besides Jayce and Vicktor the others werent really that relevant if im remembering it correctly...oh well...she had a good run I guess xD.
Solo Leveling ending was dope and now I can see why you like this show so much....we have another necromancer...Castlevania..Mo Dao Zu Shi ..now this...honestly thats a power that I like to and I like that he ressurect Igris...their fight was awesome...Season 2 was announced and there are talks already about this show having 6/7 seasons total with the next one coming out later this year (Fall) ...no complains from me.
" ...I didn’t expect the story to bother you as much as me though ;) I thought you would enjoy these revenge plots more than me, but what you described is basically how I felt..."
I doesnt bother me per say...I do like revenge plots but its quite a haste that with the crazy actions scenes and good music that it has plus the nice combo of ninjas + cyberpunk, they didnt put any effort in making the plot more unique...it has all the cliches of a typical revenge plot which makes it predictable but its still the kind of plot I can enjoy....John Wick is a predicatable revenge story but Keanu Reeves and great fight scenes make up for it...in here its a similar (not on the same level xD) situation.
I also havent watch Gen V and the next season of the Boys is coming soon...should probably catch up on that (heard that Homelander and other known characters make appearances).
My plans for this season:
Shows that im actually watching are the sequels to Mushoku, MyHero, DSlayer and the new series Kaiju no 8 (dont know anything about it but its a title I see everywhere).
Shows that catched my attention and I will give a try are: Wind Breaker, The Fable, Viral Hit and New Gate...first one to come out is Wind Breaker tomorrow
That show that your friend talk to you about (the one from the link) only comes out in the Summer.
Frieren is not an isekai though...right?? (its not a reborn or teleported to another world kind of story)
But it is sad that its ending...Frieren is by far the best show airing this season and is already a strong candidate for best of the year...just like Frieren for best girl.
My top 3 for this season includes 2 shows that start last season - > Frieren - Undead Unluck - Solo Leveling.
"Oof I remember you saying you liked Mel too xD What happens when there are YEARS between seasons."
LMAO...thats actually pretty common for me...I like a character when the show is airing but sometime afterwards I no longer remember why I like them or their name...the best one was when the anime Juuni Taisen aired in 2017 (basically a survival game between characters representing the zodiacs) I really liked the character of Nezumi (Rat) so I added him to my favorites after the anime aired...later on (the year after I think) I was changing my favorites again and I had no idea who he was or why I liked him in the first place...eventually I rewatch the anime and I remembered again...but by then I no longer liked him that much xD.
About Mel, seeing her character design made me remember her but asides from being the daughter of another character that I dont remember the name (the next champ apparently) and that she had a thing with Jayce (him I remember a bit better) I dont remember much of her....I will definitely rewatch this one before season 2 comes out...fuck Joey indeed xD.
"What do you think of Sung Jin-woo so far?"
He is actually an interesting character...I like that his character development doesnt just resume to him getting stronger by leveling up...we are constantly hearing his thoughts and seeing how he plans things ahead and tries to keep his power a secret...I also like that while he is definitely getting stronger, he still struggles a bit against stronger opponents like some bosses or those assassin players...would hate if all of sudden he became the Saitama of this Universe, hope it doesnt go on that route...just like Frieren it sucks that its ending and for this one its a genuire surprise that they just made a season of 12 episodes...with how popular the "manga" is you would assume they would bet on a season with 24 episodes to start the adaptation.
Another moment where you mention a character by name and I have to go check who she is ...Cha Hae-in...I get a pass for this one since I dont read Solo Leveling xD...so she is a fan favorite ...I actually had to go check in what scenes she appear....its smart on them to give some cameos to a fan favorite before she becomes relevant...kind like how Nami appears in episode 1 of One Piece despite only having her debut later in the manga.
About Ninja Kamui...is a good show, great fight scenes and my favorite opening of the season but...the plot and characters are average and really predictable...Its the plot of your usual revenge show - > MC works for organization...leaves organitation ...starts a family while living in hiding...they find them... kill his family and he goes on a killing spree to get revenge...feels like I saw this plot many times before...not bad just...really predictable, also his alliance with the detective happens to fast...it doesnt really make sense that both of them trust each other that quickly but I guess the plot need it...the AUZA group being the bad guy became obvious before they even mentioned it giving how many signs and ads of it appear early on...typical organization that is slowly taking over every aspect of society behind the scenes...its a good concept to combine ninja stuff with Cyberpunk but wish they had not went with the most typical revenge plot...its actually surprising that a show with an average plot got a good enough budget for those amazing fight scenes...just noticed that Im actually ahead of you on the show...did you lost interest?or do you prefer to marathon more episodes at once? (I definitely enjoyed marathoning the first episodes just for those great fight scenes back to back).
" You know the girls I like ;) " ...You´re a man of good taste xD.
" ...Even if the live action is good its not gonna be better than the cartoon so whats the point..."
Part of me thinks like this too, but then curiosity gets the better of me and I end up giving them a try xD.
They just annouced Seasons 2 and 3 so they will adapt the whole thing...maybe by the time season 2 is coming out you´re more inclined to watch it
For me it counts...I hate how crunchyroll does things where the fall season of the current year is left out of the polls...Frieren would be a good contender for many categories this year...It will definitely be a contender for this year´s poll.
Frieren keeps blowing my expectations...its sad that its almost done (although I already heard rumours about Season 2)...my only "complaint" about the last episodes is the absence of Stark...it makes sense since he isnt a mage but I really like the dude.
You made me search about Mel’s mum...didnt even remembered who Mel was much less her Mom xD...Im noticing now how I forgot most of the plot of Arcane and only
remember some of the coolest moments and 5/6 main characters...dont have time now but im planning to eventually rewatch the show before season 2 comes out.
Im surprised at some of the backlash that Solo Leveling is receiving...for me the show has been continuasly great but apparently some people are upset at some of the latest episodes..no idea if its an adaptation issue or something but apparently the last episode was one of the most disliked on crunchyroll.
EDIT - Apparently the episode that was disliked was episode 7.5...didnt watch but I guess its a recap...still, weird that so many people got upset over it...recap episodes during breaks are quite common this days.
It really sucks that I dont have much time now...really wanted to give Apothecary Diaries a try...you got me curious about The Beast and Witch....and you´re not the first person to tell me that Ninja Kamui is my type of show ...this one I might make an effort to at least give it a try and see if its my cup of tea...just checked and there are only 4 episodes out now...watching as it comes out is easier than marathoning so I will try to catch up while its still on the first episodes.
"Now that a few more episodes are out is the unwanted undead one you would still recommend? I might try another show after I watch up on my current ones "
Im definitely still enjoying it but I would only recommend if you dont have anything else to watch....you would definitely like it but it also feels like your average show,
sometimes it feels like a Goblin Slayer spinoff..it could be taking place in that world but focusing on different characters...even the guild the mc goes to is similar to the one from Goblin Slayer (he never encounters goblins thou xD)
Pretty sure you would like this character...she has some crazy vibes sometimes that seem like your cup of tea xD
https://i.ibb.co/wBJ0GZd/sousou-no-frieren-16960073855316.jpg
The link says Frieren for some reason but the character is from Undead Adventurer
BTW did you watched the live action Avatar??
Alot of the internet is crucifying it but I actually enjoyed it...it feels rushed in some moments but I guess that was expected since they had to adapt book 1 in 8 episodes..and they took some creative liberties here and there but overall I dont think its bad...although I feel like its me and a few others against the crowd on this one....most of the internet is trashing this show....what do you think??
"...now Nobara was way to bad ass to barely be able to beat a clone and get one shot.." Nobara was badass but not necessarly that strong...she is way bellow Mahito´s level and even then she still did a decent job against his clone (she would beat the clone if he hadnt run away)....Mahito was a true monster, so far Nobara mostly fought weaker opponents and even then she would struggle a bit but since she has such a strong personality she ends up seeming stronger than what she actually is...the shock value of that scene alone was freaking dope.
Are you part of the group of people that has Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 as the best anime of the year?...Personally the animation on those fights did it for me, crazy to think that some of those episodes were rushed and still ended up like that...btw the others 3 shows that most people have as favorites are Vinland Saga Season 2, Oshi no Ko and the Attack on Titan Final Part...funny enough I believe you didnt watch either right?? (if I recall you read the first 2 so you didnt watch them and you havent yet watched AOT ending) so im curious...whats your favorite anime of 2023?
Im still loving Undead Unluck...Billy´s betrayal caught me off guard but it was dope...always liked a good betrayal moment, the plot of the show itself is really well thought..never realised that the english language had so many words that start with "Un"....as for Rip..he still looks and acts cool even in Chibi form to be honest xD
Speaking on Tower of God..season 2 comes out later this year...I stop reading not long after where Season1 ended and I mostly forget what I read xD...but I do remember Bam being more badass so hope they do a good job adapting it.
About Frieren...im surprise im enjoying it as much as I am...most of the times it almost seems like a slice of life but the characters, the little side quests, the world the overall vibe...everything is great...also this got my attention in your comment -> "...Denken is pretty interesting to follow.." ..is this a spoiler?? so far he seems like a character that is relevant for this arc only but now you got me thinking that he will join the group...im still upset that the other guy left the group after traveling with them for just awhile...actually sad that its almost over..its been a fun ride....hopefully a season 2 doesnt take long because as always I wont read it xD
Just watched that League video...no idea who those characters are but the animation is gorgeous....hopefully Arcane Season 2 keeps that level of animation...also curious to see the expansion of the Arcane world to fit all those characters, although I hope they dont rush it otherwise I can see it getting chaotic.
My favorite of the girlfriends is still Kusuri (the lab maniac) her potions for everything quirk is hilarious but they all manage to be entertaining and so different...even the mother...I was also caught of guard when she confess to him xD...saw a Gigguk video about it where he talks about how in the manga every character is so unique and it made me really curious to go check...but for now Ill wait for a sequel.
"So what are you watching this season? Mine is still pretty short:"
Mine too...my work schedule for this first months is a bit messy so I cant really watch more (been wanting to start a fall show called "The Apothecary Diaries" ..my gf loves it and from what she says it seems that I might like it but cant do it now).
Im watching 4 shows (not counting continuations like Frieren, One Piece, UUnluck etc...):
Sequels - Shaman King: Flowers and Mashle Season 2
New shows - Solo Leveling (so good...my top 3 for this season will be between Frieren, UUnluck and this one) and im watching this show called The Unwanted Undead Adventurer (Gigguk briefly mention it in his seasonal video), basically an adventurer is killed by a weird dragon in a dungeon..comes back as a skeleton that still has his conscience and decides that he will still continue towards his goal of becoming a higher rank adventurer...by killing other creatures like slimes and skeletons he evolves to a ghoul and then after helping a new adventurer and getting some gear, he leaves the dungeon with a mask and from then on the story is him trying to hide his identity (of being a monster now) and trying to evolve as an adventurer while also containing his monster urges...not an hidden gen or anything but its been fun so far.
Dont really plan on adding more ...but...try and sell me on that "The Witch and the Beast"...the image of it on MAL its quite dope.
Take your time with your reply!!
Happy New Year!!!
