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.

same.!!!! you should watch this other anime... i kinda like it but if you dont want my recommendation i wont give it

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 y/n

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

Hiro

started watching Erased on Thursday, finished it today
damn that was a really good show, would probably put it on par with or just under gurren lagann on that list

Samus Aran

yeah erased was great. some aspects of the ending are kinda goofy but its a great show nonetheless

what's funny though is a lot of idiot weeb crybabies HATED the ending because the main character got """""cucked""""" because i guess they read way too deep into things and thought the dude would end up with the grown up version of the main lil girl

that's the complaint people had with the ending? that would be way more goofy, especially with the direction things went the last 2 episodes.
there was only one little part of the last episode I found a little silly, but overall I thought the ending was excellent.
