its got its moments in animation...

i honestly dropped it midway. if this one of the first shows of its type you've seen, then i guess it would hit - but honestly its kinda weak

there's plenty of cursed/conflicted roaming swordsmen/warrior shows out there and dororo doesn't do much better (or even on par) with many of them

It's based off of an older show and without me even knowing that at first it felt like it.

I think the show would've had bigger and better impact if I experienced it when it first came out in 1969. I think the shows that it influenced became better than it and now it feels outdated.

Have you seen Kids on a Slope and Sangatsu no Lion? I'm pretty sure you'd like both given what we've agreed on in the past. Both are among my favorites, the latter I would consider the best anime to come out in recent years.

Kare Kano/His or Her Circumstances is the best romance ever made that no one really talks about. Hideaki Anno of NGE directed it and you can tell the difference from everything else of the genre. Nodame Cantabile is better known, just as good. Main characters are college aged, not indecisive kids. Both have actual skill in their craft and they push one another to reach their potential. Great chemistry, progresses quickly, pretty much everything you want. School Rumble is the best parody of the genre and has a huge cast of memorable characters. Very funny, Harima Kenji is one of the GOAT male leads of the genre.

I think Carole & Tuesday is the best anime of the season. Absolutely nails the theme of music bringing people from unique backgrounds together and giving them a voice to express themselves in ways that they aren't allowed to otherwise. Somewhat inspired by Nana, but with much less adult drama and much more racial diversity putting black people in some positions of power in the music industry and a visual part of the universe. Watanabe (Bebop, Champloo, Space Dandy, Terror in Resonance etc) is directing it and anything he produces is guaranteed to be well put together. Has a lot of really great scenes that anyone should be able to appreciate, even if they don't necessarily care to watch the show because of it's genre.

and I always recommend Barakamon to anyone who asks for suggestions. Hard to not like it. Funny, relatable, will make you feel for the characters in their struggles to find a sense of belonging/family.

I'm in the same boat. Caught demon slayer on my feed and gave it a chance. Lil comedy and some democ demons, they're basically some evil vampires imo. Loving right now on ep. 8. About 22 ep. In all.

Black clover Im trying out. its too slow, too many goofy characters, fillers.

Nah man. I appreciate the weekly episodes over a series being released at once.

JoJo Part 5 officially aired in October and it's still airing in June.

And over these past 8 months you get

-the characters resonate with you on another level.
-whenever you listen to jodeci you will forever think about part 5
- weekly discussions
- you get to sit around and digest everything within an episode and it leaves you wondering what could possibly happen next
-it becomes one of those small things in life that make you look forward to shyt like: "today is friday, that means new jojo:wow:"
-every week there is a new jojo meme


I'm be sad once that last episode of Jojo hits. Not gonna lie, might shed a few tears :mjcry:... Like sure part 6 will most likely be animated but it's like damn I been with the part 5 cast for so long now I'm a be like Will Smith in the fresh prince of bel-air when hes just standing there in the empty house.

It's how I felt for part 3 and 4.

The weekly adventure :wow:

Attack on Titan latest episode :wow:

The tension in this episode. :wow: Biggest conflict ever:wow: . I'm glad I don't read ahead in the manga because this episode wouldn't have hit the same if I knew what was going to happen. :wow: AOT did a good job of reviving a character back from the dead unlike how most series do it. Usually when a characters comes back it devalues the moments in the arcs in a series, and if it keeps reoccurring throughout the series it devalues death in the series (DBZ, Naruto). But for the simple fact that only one character could be saved while another would have to be let go (Armin, Erwin) had me like :wow: damn :wow: damn :wow:damn.


Imagine being Bertholdt and waking up to a titan Armin about to eat you :picard:

When you think about it, overall Eren and the gang took a giant ass L. Their mission was to find out more about the titans or eliminate those 3 right? not finding out about more information and only eliminating one guy and losing 90 percent of your friends screams L.

And :mjlol: at the ape titan. nikkas was just trying to be psychological and "deep" last episode showing no emotion while throwing rocks at all those people on the horses. But as soon as Levi fukked him up he went all bytch and ran away :mjlol: talking about this round is a draw because neither of them have energy left when it was clear Levi was ready for the smoke.

So far, Levi's character development is the best in the series.
great episode.
