Essential What Anime are you currently watching?

[tripleaamin]

I had that same adverse reaction to reading stuff that a lot of people have here initially. Bought a Kindle and read began reading a series I knew was unlikely to ever get a second season and evolved from there. I mostly read comedies and well adapted timely released anime versions are very rare. Anime tends to butcher, speed through, and cut out a lot of content. It can't help it being a derivative product. Usually the choices made for an anime adaptation are not for the better.

To me reading actually enriches the anime watching experience. When you read the original work first you get the full story and watching the anime becomes more about seeing your favorite scenes brought to life. When you only watch the anime the entire experience is about the novelty of seeing things for the first time.

I guess another way to put it is it's kinda like watching a movie you like more than once. Just because you know the plot on that second viewing doesn't diminish the experience. You may actually notice and pick up on more the next time.

All things considered equal watching will be better but in 85-90% of cases watching is the inferior version of the story with questionable editing choices that takes way longer to tell.

Well you can’t expect a 1:1 anime adaptation. That is kind of silly. Anime can add a lot of elements that can be very tough to digest.

You are always going to have to make sacrifices in an anime adaptation. But look at 86, MT & Demon Slayer. When an adaptation is done right it is something that is beautiful and elegant to watch.

Also the only time people bring up the source material is source readers that want to nitpick every little thing. Unless an anime is ass those who are only watching the anime very rarely ask for a comparison to the source.

Yang is an Aizen level cheat code but breh is lazy AF. If he was even 1/2 as motivated as some of the background players, the Empire would have fallen.

What's wild is that on re-watch they *really* emphasize that riot where his first love interest was killed. In a lot of ways, he had more tools to set up a galactic republic than Reinhard did. Yang just adamantly refused to go above his station or even consider his impact as a political force.

Also - Reuenthal arguably could've become Kaiser on his own as well. Just not nearly as quick as Reinhard. The empire was fukked and the rebellion would've given him all the opportunity he needed.

This cliffhanger to Spy x Family

They wrong for that but I cant wait for Anya to join in on the fukkery and meet Unkie


I Quit Heroing, man they really dragging out him revealing himself to the Queen, I bet something gonna distract them from doing it next week too

Shield Hero, man buddy lost his Sword. Knowing how this show can get dark I feel for whats in store for her. They gotta find Filo asap

Reborn Demon Lord, that fight was interesting. Was surprised that buddy finally revealed himself. But he got away

You know people got to have a comment for everything. There are plenty of shows that I just want to watch the anime only. A lot isn't worth the time to read imo. Anime is always much more immersive and doesn't take a huge amount of my time. Unlike when I read the source since I can't eat and read at the same.

Exactly

The governments of both the Alliance and Empire were so rotten that left to their own devices, they would have collapsed anyway due to internal discontent and infighting among the upper echelon. Never thought I'd see a group make Zeon or the Federation look like model citizens.

I don't usually like remakes like that but the new LoGH has been pretty piff too. I'm enjoying their imagining of the political side of things especially.

It drops in Japan in June 11ish and I think it hits the US in August.

Well, looks like I’m talking about HxH again for the 200th time.



Just finished the Chimera Ant arc and I’m speechless. One of the best arcs I’ve ever seen in any anime. I’m also glad dude’s sacrifice wasn’t in vain. That made the victory so much better.

@LauderdaleBoss

I believe you said you made a beat from this arc? I wonder if it’s this one theme I heard in there that was fire.
