Essential What Anime are you currently watching?

[storyteller]

For the past year, it's been a great run. Tho you know old heads would complain new anime is shyt . Still too much anime def gets made but the quality at the top has really been having a great run.

But within the last year in no order

• Frieren
• Apothecary Diaries
• SLF
• Hyakkano
• Dungeon Meshi
• The Dangers in My Heart
• Kingdom
• Konosuba's return
• Spice & Wolf Remake
• Girls Band Cry
• Black Butler's return
• Yatagarasu
• Elusive Samurai
• NieR Automata
• Monogatari's return
• Dandadan
• Re: Zero's return
• Dragon Ball's return
• DanMachi
• Bleach TYBW
• Orb
• Ranma Remake
• Urusei Yatsura Remake finishing up
• S2 of Rurouni Kenshin Remake

In terms of top-notch adaptations would put Frieren, Monogatari & Dandadan at the top. If you told me back when CSM aired that when Dandadan would surpass CSM in anime popularity, I would never have believed you. Hell I didn't think they could do the Dandadan manga justice, but the cinematography is so good, which is why I put it at the same level as Frieren & Monogatari.

I totally agree. Frieren and Dandadan are the two best examples of an anime managing to not just give a great manga its proper adaptation, but to elevate the source material. That's ESPECIALLY impressive to me with the Acrobatic Silky backstory, because I know they had to be ambiguous about certain things (the rooftop leap), just to get it on-air.

The only downside is that some good anime are gonna get slept on and slip by because the elite stuff is drowning out their attention.

The Gawd Anime...G Gundam

Been watching gundam g for the first time ever

G Gundam is my favorite Gundam IP

“KYYYOOOJIIIIIIIIII”

I'm watching this right now, we didn't have Cartoon network in Canada when I was growing up, so we didn't get all the anime American brehs' got growing up. My cousin used to tell me how cold G Gundam was and I just played it off.

Man was he right

Ron Kamonohashi’s Forbidden Deductions Season 2 - Episode 20

Honestly, might be my favorite episode so far in S2. Since this wrapped up even better than the Shibuya arc, which is superb as well.

For a case where we knew who Hummingbird was, it was more a chess match between him and Ron. The big reveal was that Mitsuhashi was NyonNyon. Given the fact that NyonNyon was afraid of heights and obviously, the only reasonable expectation was she jumped out of the building. It was clear that NyonNyon was disguised. He met his goal and getting Mitsuhashi would have sealed his victory.

Tho Ron saw the hints coming. When Ron realized that Mitsuhashi was really NyonNyon it was clear that the fake NyonNyon jumped out of the building since the contradiction she is afraid of heights isn't in play. More likely, Hummingbird's associates lied to them.

Though learning of Hummingbird was doing everything, he can for his daughter because he messed up as a father. It feels like he is giving anything for her to smile and to be happy again. It was very touching. Like Toto said, it is still a crime, but you can't help but empathize with Hummingbird. Then you add that the artists got inspired, and it makes you think maybe we can overlook it?

I like how we see a difference of opinion with Ron and Toto. For Ron, he cared about learning the truth and someone who didn't have a father he didn't want to take that away from the daughter. Of course, Toto has a point that crimes are crimes and he should arrest him if they catch him again.

I have no idea if this is good or bad. Kadokawa pushes out so much bad anime. Essentially, anything animated by Engi is DOA. I doubt much positive comes from of it from a consumer pov. More adaptations, though I doubt there is an improvement on quality of anime and what we have already gotten from Kadokawa.

From a consumer pov all the anime on Netflix, Disney and HiDive that are owned by Kadokawa will now be on crunchyroll going forward.

• Oshi no Ko
• Emmience in Shadow
• Dungeon Meshi
• Spy Classroom

Though Crunchyroll as a service has gotten much worse since Sony bought them out. Even from this angle it doesn't look good.
