gf binge watched sailor moon crystal so i  caught some of that

finished fate/apocrypha

entertaining in the first half, but as the massive cast slowly whittles down, you're left with one of the flattest, by-the-numbers shounen-trope protagonists ever conceived, along with a questionable romance story with him as the object. the sheer amount of far more interesting characters who get shafted in favor him is astounding. the main villain is literally a bunch of fate-series cliches rolled into one underdeveloped character. the soundtrack is also extremely limited, with the same 3 or 4 songs playing in every episode, and it's REALLY noticeable. the action scenes have some crazy animation though! i'd give it like a 6.5/10, at least i felt compelled enough to finish it unlike unlimited blade works.

Well, now the anime is about to air, I just found out that the main character's canon name from Persona 5 is Ren Amamiya

[TooB]

Finished Violet Evergarden.

It was... one of the best shows I've seen in a while.
I absolutely loved it

[Thyme]

hey so uh i've been watching fma: brotherhood for the past couple weeks

i love it

i remember liking the original a lot too but i'm p. sure this is better

[Samus Aran]

i feel like they're about the same tbh. i like that the older show was a bit darker in tone, and what it did with shou tucker's character was a lot cooler.

on the other hand, the ending (including the terrible film) of the original show sucked. while i don't think brotherhood's is amazing, at least it's an actual ending. and the overall story of brotherhood is usually better too imo...and you get way more of certain characters that were cool but not explored enough in the original. like greed and envy. mean commander lady is cool too, but idgaf about the little chinese girl or the weird dumb kid homonculus.

brotherhood also obviously looks slightly better, though unfortunately it does lame chibi stuff sometimes that was thankfully absent in the original. aaand brotherhood's background ost is better imo, tho the original had better opening and ending themes.

so it's really hard for me to pick which one i like more considering they both have tons of things that are better or worse.

[Hiro]

This year I've watched:
Madoka Magica
Ouran High School Host Club
Monster Musume
My Love Story!!
NAKAIMO - My Little Sister Is Among Them!
K-On!
Gurren Lagann
Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro
as well as some of One Punch Man, and currently watching the 2nd season of K-On as well as Kill la Kill. Haven't got around to the last episode of FLCL either.
Most of these are pretty popular shows (I've been using Hulu and Netflix) but if you haven't seen My Love Story, it's really good.

which were ur favorites

imo madoka and single-hit fellow are the best on that list (although i haven't seen them all lol)

[Hiro]

In order of best to worst:

Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro
Gurren Lagann
My Love Story!!
K-On!
Madoka Magica
Kill la Kill
One Punch Man

FLCL Progressive
Monster Musume
Ouran High School Host Club
NAKAIMO - My Little Sister Is Among Them!

[Samus Aran]

kinda funny that you liked Gurren Lagann a lot but Kill La Kill not nearly as much lol, they're so similar. but i do agree TTGL is easily the better of the two, KLK loses so much of its steam around the latter third of the show, but TTGL just keeps getting more and more hype

i have yet to finish FLCL Progressive...honestly i've only seen two episodes, i was kinda planning on finishing it with my girlfriend sometime. the second episode was...kinda unimpressive lol, hoping it gets better. first episode was great tho

Casle of Cagliostro is SO GOOD dude, massively underrated Ghibli film and probably the best Lupin film as well

[Hiro]

I mean I just liked those other shows more, Kill la Kill is fun so far (over halfway through I think) but it's not as interesting or positive or energetic as Gurren Lagann. The optimism of that show was just really fun.
The 2nd and 3rd episodes of Progressive are definitely the worst out of the 5 I watched. 4 and 5 are what the first 3 needed to be imo (especially in the animation department), but at that point the show's already floundered aimlessly too much where I'm not sure how the finale is going to fix anything. It's not a bad show, it just seems like they made purely it for the sake of more FLCL (which Adult Swim paid them for) and not because they had any kind of story to really tell.

And yeah def agree about Castle of Cagliostro, one of my favorite Ghibli films tbh
