Anime and Manga

[Inanimate]

I haven’t watched anime since the penultimate of Steins;Gate 0, and the season finale of My Hero Academia, Attack on Titan, and Tokyo Ghoul;re. Kizumonogatari Part 1-3 is finally available, but now the roles have effectively reversed: it’s like the Monogatari series is pining for my forthcoming viewership. Perhaps I’m daunted by the fast-paced, unforgiving intellectualism, and the cerebral receptivity that the series demands.

Afterwards, I should browse myanimelist for any highly rated seasonal anime because Netflix doesn’t cut it.

check out ERASED on hulu. It's about a guy who timetravels back to the past to try and save his classmate from being abducted and murdered. Great anime! Also if you haven't checked it out already DEATH NOTE is another brilliant one.

I really want to watch Death Parade and you guys have reminded me that I tried Tokyo Gaul but what the hell was going on, I was beyond confused lol. I watched the first episode of NHK and it is good but not really my style but I will try at least the first four episodes before I judge it.

Have you gotten past episode 1? do you like it?

I watched the first three so far, I think I will end up finishing it now, I am just a really slow watcher lol, I was wondering I watch with subtitles, is there a dub instead?

Yes the English dub is on Youtube.

Okay, I just binged on Aggretsuko, which is on Netflix, and the main character is @Aurelia in essence.

@Cynic Goat, you’ll probably appreciate this comical anime as well based on your perceived leanings, assuming you haven’t already seen it.

Oh yeah, definitely, Aggretsuko is awesome! I love her as a character.

Plus i identify way too much with Haida in some ways. :L

Haida is endearing. In what ways do you identify with him so much if I may ask?

I think most of all it's because people don't really notice him much, they just expect him to get on with things and not make a fuss. So when it starts to explore his struggles, it's more like the show is expanding its focus from what the main character is going through, to show he has it just as bad, but doesn't have the same means to express it as Retsuko. For most of the show, it doesn't really explore what Haida is going through. It sort of mentions it, but doesn't really show how much it hurts him. Idk how to describe it much better than that, except to refer to a particular example from my life where a while after an intense argument, someone finally acknowledged that i had good reason to get as frustrated as i had, then literally tried to justify it by saying "I guess because you normally seem so happy and low-drama, it just seemed wrong and weird that you were getting angry, so we got upset and said harsh things defensively." My relation to Haida is quite complex in a way. Sorry for the crazy long answer. :L
How about you? Who would you say you felt a connection to on the show?

Ah. Yeah, one doesn’t really get to glean much from his troubles. He definitely had my attention as he’s the only one besides Retsuko who’s character exhibited any kind of profound hardship.

At this time of night, I can’t formulate a proper comment regarding your friend’s astoundingly superficial excuse for reacting that way without keeping you waiting.

As for me, I mean, I could only relate to Retsuko in that she submissively carries on with her diligent demeanor, and her only outlet for her anger is in solitude.

Yeah, i think he's the only other character that got to display a similar level of emotion and hardship to Retsuko.

Thank you, i still find it impressive that they saw that as a reasonable excuse.

It was definitely something i could relate to Retsuko on as well, to be sure.

Lol. Why me?

Recently finished Re:Zero and Future Diary. I wouldn’t exactly put either on any all time favorites list or anything, but both were a fair bit better (and darker) than I had expected, and worth considering for anyone out there who might be looking for something to watch.

 

[Gonz]

Just finished Erased. There seems to be some disagreement about the show’s quality, but I think that’s a matter of how you approach it. If you look at it as a mystery, it’s very flawed and I can see how viewers expecting that might be disappointed. But if you look at it as a character drama that uses the trappings of a mystery to tell its story, then it’s really legitimately excellent and I can’t recommend it enough. It really is one of the best I’ve seen in quite a while.

Hope nobody minds if I bump this thread every time I finish something that I think is worth recommending.

Ey , yay for the anime thread =) !
Most of my anime is stored digitally :x - here's what I got on DVD/Blu-Ray. Just a small collection.

 

[Lotus]

Ok, sorry, i have to turn into that guy for second, but you have to watch part 3 dude! It's the best part of the whole show, and it's completely different to the first 2 parts. I don't want to spoil what, but a massive twist happens that completely changes the way the whole show works! Ok, nerding over with.

I like reading manga. I'm into psychological and eccentric themes. Examples include: Rojika to Rakkasei, Hymenospia, FLCL. Though I also enjoy regular stuff like Solanin and Yotsuba& and Dungeon Meshi.
