The Anime Discussion Thread

Just started Seven Deadly Sins from the beginning so I can refresh my memory before starting the new season. I think I'm going to watch Sword Art Online next.

 

I can't wait for another season of Drifters. Was such a fun concept and had great action.

I literately just finished Dragon Ball Super today! I'm about 2 episodes into the new season of Seven Deadly Sins but that is a show I can only watch when my wife and I have aligned our schedules perfectly. Also about 3 episodes into season 2 of Overlord (highly recommend) I like SAO but given my age my brain keeps screaming at me "THIS IS A .HACK RIP OFF" and it hinders my ability to enjoy it as much as I want to.

Why do so many anime have scenes AFTER the credits? It's so annoying.</p>

Minor annoyance:

 

Why do so many anime have scenes AFTER the credits? It's so annoying.

 

IKR we watched half of the first season of Seven Deadly Sins before we realized that they were having scenes after the credits. When they started referencing some of those moments my misses and I were had a collective WTF.

[Jaysin]

I forgot how good Seven Deadly Sins is.

 

When Ban and Meliodas destroy the prison while arm wrestling, I about died when Sir Golgious shouts “strategic withdrawal!” and just abanadons his troops.

 

Also, Ban meeting Hawk was hysterical.

 

The end credits song is super catchy

<p>I got 3 episodes into DB Super and now it's been a few weeks since I've watched it.</p><p> </p><p>

I saw DB, DBZ, and DBGT, but for some reason I'm just NOT feeling Super at all. Maybe it's an age thing, I'm 38 now.</p><p> </p><p>

In general my fav anime (in no order): Trigun, The 3 Tenchi Series (Muyo, Universe, Tokyo), Outlaw Star, One Punch Man, Soul Eater, Deadman Wonderland, FLCL.</p><p> </p><p>

I could go on for days with anime I love, I better stop.</p>

Well the first half of GT is good anyway. With kid Goku, and Pan, and Trunks adventuring it was almost like the original Dragon Ball again. Once it got to the fights with the dragons, it was crappy.

The original Dragon Ball never resonated with me too much as I didn't even watch it until a few years ago. Also the character growth of Vegeta is awful. I hated the fact that he needs Bulma to achieve SSJ4. </p><p> </p><p> In Super everything Goku achieves is done by accident while Vegeta works his but off and passes him occasionally. The way it is looking is GT is not going to be on this timeline (which I'm fine with as these god characters and multiple universes is way more interesting IMO).</p><p> </p><p> I say watch the movies and see if it is gelling with you.</p>

If you had a gun to your head and were told to name your top 10 anime that fans of the genre NEED to watch before they die, what would your 10 be? No honorable mentions, just 10!

 

I'll post mine after some more people chime in.

[Jaysin]

Also, has anyone checked out Goblin Slayer yet? I keep seeing hilarious screen grabs from it.

[Rone Rivendale]

Well, I named 9 in my original post. So add Orphen to that.

It could easily end on the episode before and tie up nicely. When they M Night Shamaloned that ending I wanted to throw my remote through the tv lol.

[Jaysin]

Has anyone checked out Goblin Slayer or Hero Mask yet? Thinking of giving them a whirl and looking for opinions.

[Jaysin]

<p>Not many anime fans here I take it?</p><p> </p><p>

Just saw the trailer for Alita: Battle Angel and it got me nostalgic about the original OVAs. Planning on watching them tonight.</p>

I've finished 7 deadly sins recently... I enjoyed it ... a lot. Nothing groundbreaking, but hell, the characters are well done and the action/humor is super

[DAVEFAN95]

Im currently watching Bleach. I've enjoyed it so far, but I feel like I'll never get to the end. Haven't quite got around to watchung the new season of Attack on Titan, but it's on my list.

[Rone Rivendale]

I've been watching One Piece in the original Japanese with subtitles. I've seen all the way to mid-Crocodile Arc before in English. But I want to watch it all in Japanese to see it uncensored. There's a lot of differences between the two.
