    Haven't really watched any anime in the past few months, barring JoJo's which is great but I've also already read the manga so feels a bit weird counting that. Want to get back into it though, need to finish Mob Psycho 100, catch up on Dororo, see if I can stomach the new One Punch Man season (I...

    I saw that Broly movie in theatres last week. Not as good as Battle of Gods imo but really strong film, and easily has the best animation Dragon Ball has ever seen, an absolute visual treat. Pretty much unbridled joy for me from beginning to end, glad I got to see it on the big screen (literally...

    That's likely true, but I'd still prefer to be able to engage with the culture more fully. I'd like to know Japanese anyway but trying to set aside the time and motivation to actually learn a new language has been too daunting for me to bother so far.

    I can't imagine I'd have the free time to do that, especially since I'd want a better grasp on the language before I'd go but thanks, I'll keep this in mind if I ever take that flight. I'm not super huge on traveling, but going to Japan at least once would be nice a bucket list item to check off.

    Reverie arc? Oh, I remember them setting that up in either WCI or Zou, that sounds pretty interesting. Didn't think it'd get an arc dedicated to it, I'd image a short transition arc with plenty of world-building in it, kinda like Zou was. My favorite post-time skip arc is either Zou or Whole...

    Kinda. I don't really like reading One Piece week-to-week so I put it on-hold for months at times then binge everything I miss (Dressrosa was miserable, it's why I changed my reading approach). The last thing I read was . . Heard Whole Cake Island ended and that the Wano arc Oda's been...

    I just finished watching all the Kara no Kyoukai movies, plus the epilogue. The movies were made by ufotable (Fate/Zero) and the score was done by Yuki Kajiura (Madoka Magica, .Hack). I bring this up because it's easily the best thing about the movies, they all look gorgeous with some fantastic...

    Let me know what you think if you ever get time to watch Rakugo. Kuroko no Basket seemed like it hinged a bit too much on quasi-supernatural abilities for me, though admittedly I didn't check too much into it. Love Haikyuu!! though, that blind Quick almost pushed it but that show is just...

    Only the first two of those are anime, or are examples of what this thread is centered around (Japanese animation). Never seen Vampire Knight but I recall liking what I saw of Inuyasha. Seemed like the show never progressed, so I probably wouldn't enjoy it as much if I returned to it but I have...

    Oh boy, there's been a lot of series I've watched since I was last in this thread. By far my favorite is a series called Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu, which has made it's way into my top five favorite anime of all-time. It's period piece character drama centered around a niche art-form so it...

    I haven't seen that one yet, I'll probably end up seeing all the Pokémon movies eventually but the [anime] series doesn't hold that big of a place in my heart that I'm really itching to go check them out. Plus, I'd want to rewatch the older ones before I get to the newer ones so I could rate...

    Oh, haha, I totally read that wrong. I agree with you, on both counts. I haven't skipped an episode of a single episode on my anime list but I can definitely understand why people due. The stuff after the Kyoto arc is completely useless (since it ended up getting the series cancelled, so we...

    Wow, they actually had to fly to Japan? That's awesome. I'm not really bothered by who picks out the VA's as long as they're fitting and/or good. I do like the dub for the TV series (the movie & OVA's were dubbed by a different company & are very, very wooden), mostly for Shishio & Saito but it...

    Oh yeah, Toguro was awesome but Sensui's just on a whole other level. If there's one thing Togashi excels out, it's creating compelling & unique villains. I personally feel he outdoes Sensui in Hunter x Hunter with Meruem from the Chimera Ant arc. My only problem with Chapter Black is . . ...

    Oh, it has some really good ones. One in particular really stands out as one of the best I've seen. But in general, the season just kinda feels redundant to me, at least where I'm at (I've only seen the first seven, so it has time). It might get better. I think it's because the anime skipped...

    Oh, definitely. The artwork in the manga is enough justification. for me to prefer 2011 (Note: I haven't read all of the manga but everything I've read has typically been done SO much better in the adaptation). & Sweet, let me know what you think about it when you finish that. That goes for all...

    Well, I'm not sure if you ever picked back up on Hunter x Hunter 2011 but I'll throw it out there. At least for the Yorknew & Chimera Ant arcs, it's probably my favorite (though overall, it's only about fourth). Haven't seen much of Kill La Kill but yeah, it definitely is (I also don't think...

    I agree. Your usage of the word "actually" leads me to believe you think I was insulting it, I wasn't. I was simply stating it was quick watch & considering all episodes were about four minutes long (well, technically three ignoring the ED but I just couldn't watch an episode without staying &...

    Haha, its not that much. A good chunk of those were real quick watches (Miss Monochrome [especially], Eve no Jikan, all the movies) and MAL's database has about 6,800 anime last I checked. One day it'll be a lot, though I doubt I'm going to reach the number presented in the next quote . . ...

    I've been watching a ton of Hunter x Hunter. Easily one of my all-time favorites. And yeah. I never honestly was that interested in finding out but I'll definitely check it out once the content is published (which I think is in April). Haven't watch Higurashi but I plan on doing so. And yeah...
