i ditched anime & manga, i just got no interest at all
nartoe was the last shounen shit back in 2016- tried getting into bartoe but it was lame

actually well back in 2012/3 i bought watamote manga 1-3 bc i thought the series was so good and rly wanted to support the author & artist bc lol ive never come across a premise done like this series tbh.  i couldnt read them so i just kept them on the side while i read translations online

now, im prob gonna read them for practice if i get back to japanaese lessons lol

watched it years ago- one of my faves

rewatching naruto's most intense episodes for me

[Hiro]

its a kids show wat do U expect
?

Most kids shows dont recap for a third of the runtime

Seems more of an anime thing - Dragonball Z, Digimon, I don't watch enough animes, One Piece apparently etc.

bro those are all kids shows

finally started Demon Slayer

pretty fuckin lit so far, five eps in

demon slayer is really fuckin good, can't wait for more

i finished eva

boy i heard the ending was bad but i didn't expect it to be the worst god damn ending of anything ever.

I know this isn't a very popular opinion but I really liked the original ending and thought end of eva, while a cool movie, was an inferior ending

oh and naruto is probably the worst anime with any popularity i've ever seen

oh and naruto is probably the worst anime with any popularity i've ever seen

idk, as far as big shounen shows go, i think it's better than bleach or one piece lol

[6M69I69B9]

only episodes worth it are the ones in the sasuke retrieval arc
esp at the tail end of it when they're at the valley of the end

that animation is sick
has my utmost appreciation for choreography in animation overall and execution
music of choice was also great

[Samus Aran]

i thought the show was pretty decent basically up until the giant filler chunk that makes up the last 90 episodes lmao

but at the end of the day it's just a shounen battle show, it's not gonna be that good. but there are much better shows of its ilk. dragon ball, jojo, hxh, fma, kenshin, bnha, etc. all much better

[Samus Aran]

i started trigun recently. idk how it took me so long to get to this. pretty damn good

trigun fuckin rules. it does have this really jarring tonal shift once it starts focusing on knives, but other than that it's a fantastic show

i'd say bleach is only barely better than naruto, and one piece even though it's surely an immense amount of filler, I kind of respect for being as crazy long as it is  

[Samus Aran]

and one piece even though it's surely an immense amount of filler, I kind of respect for being as crazy long as it is  

actually, no lol. out of the 929 episodes of one piece that have aired thus far, only 11% of it is filler. either they started far enough behind the manga that they've never caught up, or they've just done a really good job pacing it. so there's rarely been a need for filler. granted, that's still over 100 filler episodes, but they're spread out in chunks that aren't too big.

i have no intention of ever putting forth any serious effort in watching one piece, though. it is simply too much. maybe i'll watch it once i've seen basically every other shounen already lol

[Hiro]

yeah that just makes me respect it more, but I never intend to watch a show that long
would certainly be better time spent than bleach and naruto together though

[Samus Aran]

rewatching chihayafuru is reminding me how much i appreciate shows where i genuinely love the characters and their drama so much that i tear up when they do

[Samus Aran]

man Diebuster blows compared to Gunbuster
