Essential What Anime are you currently watching?

[Bucciarati Joestar]

SEED plot was doo doo butter, a real disservice to the franchise. Still, not as much of a juke as Zeta.

All I remember about that show was the sick soundtrack and Athrun Zala's messy love life.

on the low this is the scene when I knew JJK would be special. shyt was cold as fukk. They bonded through Yuji’s suffering

Yea between that and Gojo straight up saying he's stronger than everyone and then proving it IMMEDIATELY i like how it is what it is from the gate and everyone sticks to their shyt, had them nikkas huddled up like Rico tryna get my mans locked up cuz they didnt want the fade

I've watched an absurd amount of anime and I can say with confidence Iron Blooded Orphans is the best ending I've seen in anime. Most series don't have the balls to give such an ending or in the case of Death Note don't have the balls to give you the ending we all know should have happened but with IBO when it ended I was like "yeah that's the way it should have played out" and it just felt right even if it was a bit unpleasant. You can say what you will about the series quality overall but those closing episodes of the second season were spectacular.

I really liked Stellvia's ending too. Shame we didn't get the sequel it teased. Same with The Pet Girl of Sakurasou which had a similar ending and sequel tease that will never happen.

Code Geass is also right up there with IBO. It felt right.

The final scenes of Your Lie In April are unforgettable. Probably the most emotional impact of an ending I've seen in an anime. Plastic Memories comes close to this too. I can also remember Angel Beats having a memorable ending. One of the only Key shows to hit me in the chest. Never watched After Story though.

My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU. I can't say I loved the last season but the confession and ending were masterful.

I feel u on this on ibo tho shyt caught me way the hell off especially the shopping scene
Plastic memories hurt me how she did it to end it
Your lie sweet Jesus


The pet girl ain’t getting sequel but the ending pissed a lot of people off apparently

Better you than me breh, SEED was bottom 3 of the franchise for me.

I've wondered for a while but how do you even start/watch Gundam? Is there a specific order or can you just watch em however tf you want

People say Monogatari and Fate/ is confusing but Gundam is way worse, there's a million of them and they all seem like they're their own thing

 

[peppe]

Im glad i stopped watching re zero, reading the replies its still

Once they nerfed rem i checked out, tried to watch it but subaru just lives with his head up his ass

Its like the author wants us to suffer with him for 20 episodes and then finally give him a W

Yeah, there's definitely a lot of branching series that leapfrog in the timeline but were released in real time in a completely different order.

Thankfully there are several sites that list them in chronological order but honestly, not all of them are essential.

Universal Century:
Mobile Suit Gundam
MSG: 08th MS Team
MSG: War in the Pocket
MSG: Stardust Memory
Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam
Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ
MSG: Char's Counterattack
Gundam Unicorn ()
Gundam F91
Mobile Suit Victory Gundam (Mid)

Gundam Wing
Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz

Gundam SEED
Gundam SEED Destiny

Gundam Thunderbolt is its own little world, not really connected to Universal Century but in that world. It's a good watch, just make sure you watch MSG before you get into it.

Forewarning,

Most Gundam shows are/will become extremely depressing/dark. The only Shounen thing about all of them outside G Fighter is that your protagonist 8/10 will be young.

Personal Opinion:

Everything before Unicorn is great. Unicorn, while introducing some of the best-looking Mobile Suit designs (Jesta is one of the best Mobile Suits, first Gunpla I ever built), falls apart. A concept introduced back in the OG series (

Spoiler

Newtypes

)becomes this overpowering force where it marginalizes every character and other concepts that don't fall under that umbrella and makes them either meaningless or forgotten. Tomino's love for this bullshyt causes Unicorn to have one of the most powerful MCs who pretty much stomps everything with no struggle because he is pretty much God. Can't forget about the fact that his suit is specifically designed for those who are like him. Also kids have Talk no Jutsu in this shyt and are pretty much the driving force for everything.

Outside of like 00 and SEED, your MCs are pretty much cogs in the machine and every series benefits from it.

I suggest starting with MSG the Origin. Tells you how everything began, 6 episodes (hour long each), is an OVA series so the quality is high.

It's kinda like the Kizumonogatari of Gundam, if you've seen that.

I love depressing/dark anime I've been looking at Gundam for a while but the 1979 joint is 43 episodes so I was always like maybe another day

I suggest starting with MSG the Origin. Tells you how everything began, 6 episodes (hour long each), is an OVA series so the quality is high.

Yeah I'll probably watch that 1 first and go from there when I decide to start it
And yeah I've seen Kizu, Monogatari is the reason I can't watch anime right now everytime I finish anime that I end up loving It's hard for me to watch new stuff. Sit there like "man I wish I could watch more Monogatari"

I love to see the teamwork & team building of my two #2s or right hand men (didn’t really want to demote Consumed, he been a good dude so far)

yea I always wondered that too, like “how do you watch Gundam at this point for timeline purposes or what was even the true origin one”

I just remember one I think called Gundam Wing or something that used to come on Cartoon Network that was that straight Fuego

Can't have 2 #2s

Breh Lord Griffith called for you and you got missing

I wasn’t sure what was up after asking bout you for weeks.

Gotta have things in place in case you’re called for again and don’t make it back

 

[It is a mystery]

Argue over your rank in GRIFFITH set brehs. The band of hawk probably did that all day.

Meanwhile remember what the survivor did
