I've been reading manga since around 2003, and watched almost no anime up until 2015 when I watched Hibike! Euphonium and got really into seasonal anime and watching shows at a faster pace. I've become addicted to anime since then.
10: Perfection, a personal favorite
9: Extremely good
8: Very good, something I want to continue as soon as possible
7: Enjoyable almost the entire time
6: Decent, but sometimes not enjoyable or slightly flawed in some way
5: A chore to watch/read or disappointing ( 5 and below were overall not a good or enjoyable experience in some way)
4: A struggle to continue
3: Bad
2: Very Bad
1: Garbage
I rate based on personal enjoyment, not exactly objectively
I don't rate specials/bonusOVAs or recap movies
i read the novel after dropping it midway through ep 3 bc it and ep 2 were shaping up to be 8th grade fanfiction level of kyoani drama, plus i always had my suspicions that the events of ep 1 could have been handled better. i was completely right and i ended up thinking the novel was a masterpiece. you can't put it on me reading the source for that (not implying you were, you didnt at all, just putting that out there).
tl;dr the beginning of ve was executed so poorly i didnt want to pull the 3 ep rule, so i read the novel and loved it. those two events are distinct from each other as well
I hope that's been leading to you making some good pals on here. Honestly, I usually delete random requests anymore, but I check out the profile a little before I do, and seeing New Game! and Yugioh in the favorites meant I had no good reason to not accept. Well, you beat me to reading manga. I read manga until December 2015, when I was given volume 1 of Rosario to Vampire. I still need to continue it and I didn't actually pick up a manga on my own until over a year later. You had the luxury to do that. My elementary school started at 8, but I was out by 2 instead of 3. I use to watch on Saturdays off kids wb (4kids, essentially). Your like me again. I prefer to watch many shorter shows too, sometimes too much because I've watch a good number of shorts and one episode shows that I shouldn't have just because I felt like completing a show at the time. Still, though, I'm much more cautious about what I choose to watch once it goes over 13 episodes. Even 24 is a bit for something you don't care about much. I absolutely the english opening, specially the battle city and enter the shadow realm ones (season 2 and 3; it was the same song with different pictures), but the full version is amazing too. Too bad it's really only available to get from youtube. I probably should've felt more nostalgia when I re-watched it, but I didn't remember much until I re-watched, so it was like almost all of it was new to me.
So you're the creator of RareKumikos? I'm the one who's mostly posting there these days! Thanks for creating a place where we can share pictures of one of the most precious girls on this planet <3
Thanks for the request. I see you're a fellow New Game! fan. I love seeing that. I see Yu-gi-oh on your favorite manga list. Another excellent choice. I only watched the show, but I saw Yugioh season 0 and dual monsters, so it's close to reading the manga at least, minus the fact that I watched most of it dubbed. It just didn't bother me much, and I didn't like the Japanese vas as much, especially Yugi's.
Akira is a movie I didn't expect to like considering what it usually gets compared to (and I didn't like neither), so that was far from a surprise, this in the end should mean little to nothing to you since it's more of a matter of what I prefer, I hope Akira ends up delivering when the time comes for you to watch it!
Been speaking to another jojo fan, and drew up a plan.
1] try out 1993 OVA.
added bonus of probably starting w/ a quick recap of 2nd cour of 2nd season of part 3.
2] skip to s02e16 which is the beginning of the run up to the finale.
3] either finish previous, or skip to s02e21 which is the actual finale. the big battle with dio.
4] either finish previous, or go back to 1993.
5] Either finish previous, or drop but watch Satoshi Kon's episode standalone [episode 5]
2 hours later...
Just did [1]
I really like the feel of 1993 jojo. much better than 2000
really great animation, directing and pacing. loved it
I feel sad being pulled away from this excellence, to go back to the tv series.
my plan is to watch ep 16 now and decide what i want to do
edit: finished Stardust Crusaders tv. I watched eps 16, 21-24
I'm glad I finished it.
I've been wondering how they'd win against a power like The World for a long time.
But I'm very disappointed with how they wrote out of that.
