animation The last Anime you watched?

[Miss 5,320]

Just seen this anime OVA titled Kase-san and the Morning Glories

and wow I LOVED IT SO MUCH! Was practically crying the whole time while watching it and and the end was balling my eyes out into my pillow. 

Loved it so much I ordered all the the mangas! (6 volumes)

Spoiler

Anime is available on HIDIVE

It's about Kasesan and Yamada. 3rd year high school girls who are dating and basically is a short film about their romance. Showcases their dynamic and how much they love it each other and what it means for them and college entrance exams (the next step in life) will effect their relationship. 

And just the music is incredible in every seen, the imagery, their love is just so genuine and pure and they do end up staying together in the end which is something you dont really see in Yuri anime. In romance anime it alot of the time ends with the couples together but in yuri the love ends up either be unrequited or they end up separating, so very great to see an end where the characters loving each other is how they envision their future together. Super buttery/feel good, but also tugs hard at the hard strings whenever a critical moment in their relationship approaches. 

In this short 54 min anime they really conveyed the powerful emotions that comes along with being a romantic relationship or just a super strong love with the fear you could be separated from that person or people.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Silent Hill meets shounen. Rumor has it that it's gonna be one of the next Big Three.

 

Beastars: Nuff said. Legoshi's Schrödinger's balls are still too small and too big at the same time. That deer pisses me off tho.

 

Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken: Also nuff said. It's what FIM should have been for non-pones. Very wholesome. Friendship and harmony all around.

 

Mushoku Tensei: I know, I know, another weeb got isekai'd by Truck-kun, but it's surprisingly well-made. Also quite wholesome. Soy inquisitors might gargle about this and that but I fail to see why completely natural everyday stuff would bother anyone.

 

Then there's that Anime That Must not Be Named. Let's just say Kazuma and Naofumi got another member of Thot Patrol, and some people are, like, literally shaking.

Fragtime: Pretty great story and interesting plot. Romance science fantasy of two high school girls. The beginning of the story is a bit strange, but afterwards it's a really beautiful tale and very stressful and emotionally rewarding. 

Spoiler

The protag. can stop time for about 3 mins and escapes from a conversation that made her uncomfortable but during that time she uses it to look at another girls panties who turns out to be immune to being stopped by time. The viewer does not see the panties but it's still pretty strange at first.

However, the rest of the film just has the two develop their relationship together and it's pretty amazing. It gets mysterious and a bit dark, but the ending is so rewarding when they tell each other they love each other and how they both changed each other for the better. I was hoping for some more explicit public romance. Like they kept doing things in front of people so I thought it was going to be like an anime, for the first time, just having two women being romantic in public, but yea didn't get there. Either way still pretty great. Didn't make me cry hard, but yea amazing regardless. Personally 4/5 for me. 

Flip Flappers: Another one of those animes that has great animation and a great plot, story, and characters, but is destroyed by the fanservice. I'm surprised that I was able to get as far as episode 8 with what happened in episode 2 and 3. Honestly gonna have to say 2/5 cuz like even tho the fanservice was bad the story was good enough to keep me going after episode 3 which had this super annoying fanservice scene. I guess if fanservice doesn't bother you then you should be able to watch but yea very annoying on my end. Not for me.

Still inuyasha but waiting for my new blu-ray

The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.

Revolutionary Girl Utena: 90's anime which was pretty amazing. One of those animes where alot of things are talked about and you watch because you want to know the meanings of what's being talked about, while the characters are being expanded upon. And it was pretty great. In the beginning the slice of life stuff felt kinda "annoying" like....get back to the plot! Also lots of deciphering of the metaphorical/literal. But yea this anime really gets the brain moving. The art is beautiful, but it is old so lots of reused animation and sequences, but it's forgiveable cuz of how great it is. Yea I really loved, but the ending is not the true ending as the manga continued when the show was over. Now I am going to buy the manga because I honestly love this story! 

Spoiler

The ending of the show ends so like "fuck you." I kinda get it, Utena saved Anthy, sacrificing herself, but it's like the whole show was building up these two characters relationship and it just ends ambiguously and it doesn't do any favors for the show. Very different from like something like "Cast Away's ending." 

Also "Akio" is now the number 1 spot for "Biggest Creep in Anime." 

Can't wait to get the manga! And the movie manga! And the future manga.

Adolescence of Utena: I kind of preferred the movie to the show, but I watched the movie thinking it was the ending to the show and it is not! So going to rewatch soon. But yes, the art, music, and animation is all great. Very confusing. But the ending sort of ties it all together and it's satisfying af. Again, if I would've watched it knowing it wasn't a sequel, I probably would've enjoyed it more. 

Spoiler

The whole "Revolutionize the World" and escaping and what it means. It means different things to different people and for Anthy and Utena I think it was supposed to mean them being in love together. You know at the time, and even now in Japan, homosexual romances are still taboo in a lot of places or seen as phases, or ignored, or just not as widely accepted, etc. 

So this sort of "revolution" was their love. And it's beautiful. Of course, these are my thoughts after the first viewing. 

I did find the change to Touga's character to be strange cuz it's just a big change to have the prince be the one to come to her and not it's touga and it's just a big change from the show and sort of changes the main theme I would say. Also they got rid of Nanami and just put her in as a cow D: and Wakaba too. 

Either way, incredible film, tho I think something that complex should've been slightly longer to really expand on certain things brought up and maybe include these missing characters more....Idk. 

I am going to rewatch. And I'm going to read the manga.

I watched the first five episodes of Edens Zero. It's good, just Fairy Tail in space with time travel, and advanced technology instead of magic. And there are some funny little cameos in these first few episodes with characters from Fairy Tail and Rave Master. As long as it does something to set it apart, I'm happy, and so far it looks like it's gonna be far more than just a retread of what Hiro Mashima already did in Fairy Tail.

I'm watching Upotte!! on VRV. I'm only three episodes into it so we'll see how it goes. Gotta give 'em points for originality. 

[TBD 16,664]

I seriously need to get back to AOT anime.

My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU. I just started this one but it looks like it has some good characters and style.

I love Your Name! It's my all-time favorite too. One of the greatest movies ever made, in any genre! Such a classic!!

Currently waiting for the new episode of "Don't toy with me Ms. Nagatoro" to air on Crunchyroll. 

Finishing a season 2 of Ace Attorney

[Prospekt 10,954]

Currently re-watching Fate/Zero for the third time. It's so good. Yeah, Shirou Emiya is a cool protagonist in Fate/stay night, but Kiritsugu Emiya is one of the best anti-heroes I've ever seen in an anime.

[King of Canterlot 9,584]

I just finished watching the anime High Rise Invasion earlier tonight, I thought it was pretty good and hopefully there's a second season since this first season didn't resolve a few major plot conflicts (it seemed that they were more setting up for stuff to fall into place in season two with this first season). I enjoyed it though, give it a watch if you haven't yet 

[DixonTheAdversary 1,626]

The last anime I watched was probably the Pokemon anime, over 10 years ago.

[schizo 85]

I think the last anime I watched in its entirety was Madoka Magica or Neon Genesis Evangelion 

[Concerned Bystander 2,856]

Uzaki-Chan wants to hang out!

This was a very enjoyable series, plenty of humour and generally very wholesome, with only a few bawdy moments at the expense of the titular character whose bosom is almost as large as her personality.

[Miss 5,320]

Just finished the From the New World

And it was a pretty interesting complex anime (based on a novel), but nothing too emotionally enticing about it for the most part. Overall, I liked it and was semi tempted to read the manga cuz I thought it wasn't complete. But I looked for the manga online and it's nothing like the anime. 

so LEWD.

So that was very disappointing. Made me cringe just looking at it. 

But turns out the Anime is just based on the Novel and not the manga. And the Anime and Novel have the same ending so def. was not a waste of time.

Just finished MHA last week and now currently watching Jujutsu Kaisen. Only need five more episodes. But man...I really hate this motherfucker

and his annoying goons. The only one descent so far is Hanami.  But not only he killed a good wasted potential character ( and later in the manga) his character is very annoying. I want him dead already, giving how pathetic and a fat coward he is. 

[Sunny and Izzy Man 582]

Believe My Teen Romance Comedy, mixed feeling about it. There a girl who make fun of male main character and say he funny. She a b****

[Dreambiscuit 6,704]

Sakugan. It’s being simulcast so I have to wait for each episode. But it’s first episode was great.    

[TBD 16,664]

Don't know why it took me so long but Demon Slayer 10/10 it lives up to their hype. The I just got started with Black Clover around 20 episodes now. So far it's really boring and bad, glorifying  main character, Asta and Yuno and boring dry battles. Need to say more?

[Pastel Heart 6,459]

Blade Runner: Black Lotus

This is...

Shockingly amazing~ I love the setting of Blade Runner and this show is very faithful to the movie, from music to visuals to the somber neon atmospheres. The first movie based anime I've seen and liked!

[TBD 16,664]

Promare. 0/10. Man never have I watched an anime that was bad as this.  The movie is like a fanfiction made with a plot that's just drags and bores you to death. The art is nice but the animation gotten lazy towards the end. Everything just feels like a bunch of information where these writers  just got it out from their ass and dump it all on you to accept it. Lio  was made nothing but a stupid damsel in distress that repeats itself like 3x freaking time! do we really need that?? The whole plot between burnish and the society is weak and the main antagonist is also dumb af.  Everything in this movie, the plot, the animations,  plus all the characters is nothing but a pile of dog shit. I don't understand what's all the hype other then it's only mostly meant to pleased these shippers-like i said before, it's like watching a fanmade movie for shippers.

@TBD Funny you mention it, because recently I heard pretty much the same amount of bad stuff about "High Guardian Spice", and yet I watched it and enjoyed it a lot, definitely more than some other lauded shows from Netflix or CN that bored me to death after a couple of episodes. Sure, it's loaded with animation errors, poor quality background art, lousy writing, etc. (not to mention the hectolitres of wokeness). But if you disregard all those deficiencies of that show, and if you can read between the lines, there is some more depth into this show, and some more mature subtexts, for those who like overthinking things and theorizing. Things don't always have to be epic, perfectly animated or tightly written to be enjoyable. I mean, many similar things could be said about MLP, and yet here we are
