Not bad. Gets a bit corny here and there at the back half of the season.

I'll keep going since it leaves some things unexplained that might get answered in the other seasons.


Got through season 2. Short, but it sets up what's probably going down for season 3. I've already started and it's hit or miss so far because the fanbase handled the subtitle work and it's really hit or miss.

Also, a bit of a heads up. For those of you who like to watch through thewatchcartoononline.tv, site traffic has picked up to the point where if it's busy, they want you to register to watch. Just refresh a couple times or watch later when it quiets down.

I'm like 200ish episodes into bleach now, still waiting for Funimation to start streaming the new season shows and continue the ones that were delayed due to the rona.

Sepholio 04-21-2020 08:44 AM

Just remembered that the Made in Abyss movie came out in the last few days too, gonna see if I can find that right now.

ClockShot 05-06-2020 12:16 PM

Finished all of Strike The Blood for now. Season 4 is currently underway now, but only the first 2 sub episodes are out. There's a delay due to 'rona.

Gonna track down something else to watch. Maybe give Demon Slayer another shot. Didn't jive with me when I watched.

Sepholio 05-06-2020 12:19 PM

Demon Slayer was really good once it got a few episodes in. I'm currently watching some older shows I never got around to since the rona delay is impacting anime pretty heavily. Watching Blue Exorcist right now. Seems pretty good and I think I'm at the point where things are about to take off.

ClockShot 05-12-2020 01:51 PM

Blasting through Demon Slayer. Gotta love Adult Swim On Demand.

Started out good. Went off the rails midway through. But looks like it's getting back on track for the home stretch.

Zeroing in on something new to jump into. Appare-Ranman! might be next. Looks like Wacky Races when we were growing up meets Anime.

ClockShot 05-16-2020 05:26 AM

Finished Demon Slayer. Now just gotta wait for the movie.

SPOILER: show
Ugh. When they introduced the Crybaby and Beast Boy, it almost took me out of it. Had to mute the tv 'cause of all the screaming.

ClockShot 05-18-2020 01:27 PM

Appare-Ranman! is good stuff. Slow build to the craziness that's bound to happen.

Also watching The 8th Son? You got to be kidding! Typical fantasy plot you've probably seen in other anime, but I'm giving it a whirl. Dub just started while the sub is about 5-6 episodes in.

drave 05-19-2020 08:19 AM

Watching through the Netflix Ghost in the Shell.


The animation style really blows. It seems like they used really old tech, or just maybe couldn't utilize it well. I wouldn't think they would leave it clunky looking "on purpose".


Trying to look past it. 3D can be done better in anime

Destor 05-19-2020 10:10 AM

3d is trash. Its used because its cheap.

drave 05-19-2020 10:55 AM

Indeed. Found myself going back to watch SAC instead of this stuff......




really trying because I love the Ghost In The Shell universe..... but it reminds me of Reboot from the 90s.

Destor 05-20-2020 08:08 PM

I wanna find a reasonably priced SAC to add it to my collection

ClockShot 05-29-2020 05:48 AM

Zipped through Food (Porn) Wars! A few other series I'm watching are delayed due to the virus.

Sweet concept, great animation. A literal feast for the eyes.

I hope season 2 gets some romance going. That's obviously on a slow burn.

ClockShot 06-27-2020 06:57 AM

The 8th Son... season 1 wrapped up. Started interesting. Ended dull. Felt like it was going to be a 24 episode run. But it was 12. Eh.

Also at the back end of season 3 of Food Wars. The dub stops there and goes to subs for season 4. Which, I got no problem with. But this is great. If anyone's looking to get in on it, Netflix just grabbed it and put season 1 up.

Some of the other stuff I've been watching are still on hold due to the pandemic. So, going to look around for something new.

Seanny One Ball 07-01-2020 08:02 PM

Somebody please watch "Dorohedoro" on Netflix and talk about it a bit so I understand it more in the context of modern anime.

The humour and style are just bonkers, it's very very cool. It sounds weirder than it is though.
I dunno how to describe it beyond - a guy with a lizard head kills sorcerer's for information regarding his transformation from man to lizard man. He puts their heads in his mouth and a man inside him judges them.
They all die.

His female sidekick is better at fighting than him and has big boobs. She is a chef.

It's the best thing since One Punch Man but not actually as good.

Seanny One Ball 07-01-2020 08:04 PM

Two burly sorcerer assassins are trying to defeat them. There are bigger enemies, sorcerer's with higher status etc.

It has a punk style. I like it.

Fignuts 07-02-2020 10:46 PM

Wait what they made an anime for Dorohedoro? I read the manga years ago. It’s batshit insane.

Sepholio 07-02-2020 10:50 PM

I'll give it a go once I'm done with the second series of Basilisk.

Destor 07-03-2020 12:54 AM

I watched the prologue. Its madness

Fignuts 07-03-2020 01:16 AM

I discovered it when looking specifically for something surreal to read. So yeah. Mission accomplished.

Shadow 07-03-2020 04:16 PM

I finished up Season 1 of "I don't want to get hurt so I'll Max my defense". It's such a cute little anime that leaves just enough for a season 2.

Destor 07-04-2020 11:55 AM

Bofuri was great. If you havent watched overly cautious hero yet its in the same vein.

Shadow 07-04-2020 04:22 PM

I might just because I kinda dug this type of anime a bit.

Fignuts 07-07-2020 06:21 PM

About 8 episodes into Dorohedoro. They did such a great job with this. Animation looks awesome. I normally prefer sub, but the dub in this is just too good. They nailed everyone perfectly.

I had forgotten how great Ebisu is.

Also, it's a small thing but I got really good chuckle from the gargoyle flying around and screaming what time of day it is.

Seanny One Ball 07-08-2020 06:15 PM

I like his excitement over food.
Dude loves dumplings.

Shadow 07-09-2020 08:45 AM

When dumplings are well made, hard not to get excited about 'em.

Seanny One Ball 07-09-2020 06:23 PM

I don't think I could eat one after that mad Bai Ling film.
Friggin gross...

Seanny One Ball 07-09-2020 06:24 PM

Bai Ling is hot though.

Conflicted...

Sepholio 07-09-2020 07:13 PM

So I started Dorohedoro. I have no idea wtf I am watching but I know it's the damn titties. The animation gives me serious Akira vibes and fits the series perfectly.

Seanny One Ball 07-10-2020 01:46 PM

It's great fun and also slightly unsettling.
I found a source for Mob Psycho btw so I will be watching that next.

Seanny One Ball 07-10-2020 06:27 PM

Dorohedoro "Your bully sandwich is ready!"

Seanny One Ball 07-10-2020 07:47 PM

When Nikaido killed that old man with a baseball I just about pissed myself

Seanny One Ball 07-11-2020 05:40 PM

Despite what I said earlier Dorohedoro was as good as One Punch Man, better in some ways but not much worse in others.

Top quality.

I am now a fan of two anime's and I'm off to try Mob Psycho 100 to see if I can get the hat trick.

Fignuts 07-12-2020 08:26 AM

Try Parasyte on netflix

Shadow 07-12-2020 03:45 PM

No I think Mob Psycho is more his speed.

Seanny One Ball 07-12-2020 03:50 PM

I'll try both tonight, why not.

Seanny One Ball 07-12-2020 03:58 PM

4minutes in and this kid is grabbing tits without consent.

I LOL'd

Seanny One Ball 07-12-2020 04:01 PM

So he has a weird parasite in his arm that loves to grab tits.
Has RP seen this yet?

Seanny One Ball 07-12-2020 04:06 PM

When I was a lad I couldn't tell my parents about what I got up to with my right hand either.
Is this some sort of on the nose puberty metaphor?

Seanny One Ball 07-12-2020 04:09 PM

He's negotiating with his hand and losing.

Pretty weird show.
I can dig it if he becomes a vigilante.
