That is the look of people who watched Devil is a Part Timer 2, Shield Hero 2, AND Wonder Egg Priority...

The embarrassment or the one that looks like they lost all brain function?

Both.

Continuing to catch up on anime after the Engage blackout.

MagiRevo is soooooo good.

I hope the people that picked up Witch from Mercury because "omg, 2 girls got engaged in episode 1" give this try.

Hi it's me yes I'm giving this a try.

Ok I didn't actually watch Witch from Mercury because I assumed it would be more Gundam than yuri but this is the only reason the show was ever on my radar to begin with.

I havent seen Shield Hero 2 yet, but whats wrong with Wonder Egg?

The final episode (of what I assume is Season 1) being a bunch of boring recap balls.

All three of those were shows that ended up disappointed. The last couple eps of WEP are not good.

Was Part Timer 2 that bad? I was looking forward to watching that eventually.

Katsu-DOOM

The show just meanders around doing different stuff in different places for "reasons," rather than focusing on WORLD DOMINATION THROUGH MGRONALDS!" like Season 1 did. The villains are ineffectual (even by comedy standards), and the plot hook for the next season comes too little too late.

The characters are still doing Part-Timer things, but the shows just wears out its welcome super quickly.

S2 sucks compared to S1 yeah

Started collection One Piece manga. Got a little bookshelf to put them on:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/2/2/3/AAAelnAAEJrf.jpg

While thats cool youre gonna need a bigger bookshelf to fit the whole series. It looks like 34 volumes is the most it can hold in a row so youd hit 102 volumes for a bookshelf that size and OP is already over that

While you're right, I will eventually need a bigger bookshelf, I'm not super worried about it at the moment and I also think if I can buy an extra shelf I can squeeze one more in for more manga shelf space (would need to take the figure and hat out in that case).

I'm still pretty interested in the world of Giant Beast of Ars, but the budget on this think has tanked, it's a real shame.

I'm interested enough to keep going though, at least I can cope by hoping they're saving up for important stuff.

Trying to decide if I should finally watch Gundam 00.

Whenever it comes up I feel like people say it's good, but it never actually seems to come up on it's own. Even after all this time, I've yet to absorb even a single detail of it through osmosis.

Worth checking out?

Personally, I love S1, and also very much like S2, though it's a step down, especially the first few episodes. It feels like a spin on Asimov's Foundation early on, which is awesome. I like the characters a lot too, and the animation was quite nice (or at least it was back in the day).

I think Gundam 00 is pretty good, definitely worth a watch

That's all good to hear, thanks.

I'm just really craving that mid to late 2000s Sci fi or fantasy anime aesthetic and I don't want to just rewatch Eureka Seven a 4th time.

I'd watch Xam'd again....if I could.

I can't BELIEVE I'm starring at a $129 ebay listing for the complete collection Xam'd bluray.

This is actually cheap lol.

I have to stop myself.

Xamd is bad after the first couple episodes

finally finished Higurashi Gou + Sotsu after putting it off for so long
what an absolute meme
I actually enjoyed it ngl >_>

Best anime fight of the year and best couple at the same time.

Takano x Rika was always the best Higurashi couple.

best yuri anime since Happy Sugar Life

Isn't true love under the beautiful glittering light of a chandelier romantic?

I really liked this week's Blue Lock episode. The show's been consistently pretty good, but this is the first one that really had me on the edge of my seat the whole time like I was watching Haikyuu or something. Isagi is such a good protagonist.

The Trails of Cold Steel anime also had a pretty good episode this week despite being rather inconsistent overall. I don't think I'd ever recommend the show because parts of it are...not good, and the only reason I can really stomach those parts is because I already have a large investment in the world from the games. But yeah, at least personally I'm definitely excited to watch where it goes from here.

yeah pretty much

Doesn't mean it wasn't entertaining but lol

Space Battleship Yamato done. It's gonna feel weird going back to 13 episode stuff now.

Hella

YYH so fucking good

Really digging Mononogatari more with every episode and it is killing me that this thing isn't getting actively scanned. The first cour of this anime is likely gonna go further than the manga scans have, over a hundred missing chapters.

I've never been in this situation before, at least not for a modern series. It's frustrating!

Reborn to Master the Blade has moved to a Magical Academy setting so it's probably time to drop this.

I would drop Giant Beast of Ars, but the episode preview for this week's looked pretty exciting so giving that one last shot.

Started Parallel World Pharmacy. It's got some charm to it, akin to something like Ascendance of a Bookworm. It's better than anything else I was trying to watch today (Deep Insanity/Banished From the Hero's Party/Death March to Parallel World/etc), so I'll take this as a win.

Holy shit.

High Card went fucking NUTS this week.

Interest skyrocketed.

High Card has been this season's Akiba Maid War for me: series that really tapers off after a strong first episode. This recent episode was pretty contrived. The annoying rookie detective should have been executed.

Netflix is getting rid of password sharing in Canada pretty soon, so I looked through their anime selection for anything to watch while I still have access to an account. I watched two episodes of Great Pretender (it was okay I guess, I might finish it if I have time) and one episode of Revisions (it sucked), but neither one grabbed me enough to the point where I'll be sad if I don't finish them. Thankfully, shows like Erased and Kimi ni Todoke are on Crunchyroll too because I want to watch them someday. Once I was considering shows that are probably junk like 7 Seeds and Cagastar of an Insect Cage, I realized Netflix's anime selection doesn't have much left for me.

After all of that, I decided to watch a movie. I watched Kiki's Delivery Service as a recommendation for my anime ranking, so I picked another random Ghibli movie, When Marnie Was There. It had a great atmosphere and a lot of nice moments. I'm a sucker for emotional supernatural stories like that. Still, by the end, I felt like the story was put together in an odd way. Like, I could see what they were going for, but it could've been a lot better to really drive the themes and relationships home. Still, it was a nice movie, a solid 7/10.

There are quite a few other anime movies that caught my eye (the rest of the Ghibli movies, Drifting Home, A Whisker Away, and A Silent Voice) but I don't know the exact date this password sharing thing goes through, so I might not have time for them all.

I haven't even heard of that movie.

And man I'm jealous of other countries Netflix that has Ghibli movies. They aren't on US Netflix.

OK so, since I know there's multiple people here who want to check out every yuri show, I will say that I follow this manga, it's not bad, but it's pretty.....boring. If peope start hyping this anime I would not get sucked it. Not saying it's not good at all or that it's bait, just don't expect something amazing.

Did someone make a yuri show if the SNAFU girls or what am I looking at

That 'Chillin in my 30s' title makes me laugh everytime I see it.

Marnie is pretty good I thought. Not the best Ghibli, but enjoyable.

Netflix anime I'd recommend:

Uncle from Another World (only has the first 6 episodes still alas)
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
Kotaro Lives Alone
The Disastrous Life of Saiki K

Movies:
My Neighbor Totoro
Whisper of the Heart
Howl's Moving Castle
Spirited Away
Princess Mononoke
A Silent Voice
Mobile Suit Gundam movie trilogy (the best way to watch the original series, IMO)

There's also Bastard!!, but that doesn't seem like your type of show.

Devilman Crybaby is still the #1 biggest Netflix anime to me.

But Uhhhh probably not for you lol.

Started Gundam 00
