Television The Anime and Manga Thread: v45

[jojoRed]

I think Ive said it before but for such a standard Shonen anime, Demon Slayer might have the best animation ever for a non movie anime. Jesus Christ its that fucking good, I dont know how they crank this shit out with that kind of quality on a yearly basis.

Season 2's arc was damn awesome. The movie was great and the first season......wow. I dropped this before but man it was a treat to watch for the animation alone.

Ufotable is on the list as the premier animation studio imo. The big dogs like Mad House and Production IG cant keep up.
Kyoto Animation is top tier aswell, they definitely have the best frame by frame art, gorgeous and excellently coloured...but Ive not seen a show with as good animation. Not One Punch Man season 1....

Waiting on AOT so I can binge that.

 

[Randlewand]

LOL.. I have gone full weeb and started watching this ^

 

[Streeter]

Don't know of this counts as Anime but been watching Vox Machina n pretty decent so far.

 

[what-wut]

Aside from attack on titan this new season of anime is kinda meh.

I agree content is no better then My Hero Academia, but the animation is too good. Ufotable set the bar too high. Would love them to do OPM season 3. After reading the manga it's going to need top shelf animation to pull that off. Too bad they are not doing the new Bleach.

I fucking love it. And it's like he said. Yes, it's partiall for Kitagawa's "plot" but the show is also just fun too. I went and found the damn fan translation of the manga and binged it all. Her friends are fucking savages lol.

TBF though, I also really enjoyed Horimiya and normally I hate romcoms.

Honestly I like the show so far. Gotta have some lighthearted fun once and a while, you know?

Mushoku Tensei's animation is and background art is better than Demon Slayers. This may be a very unpopular opinion.

Arabic Anime fandom just lost a legend.

Lebanese popstar Sami Clarke, died in a hospital after suffering heart complications, he was 73.
Other than being a popstar in his home country, Clarke achieved notable fame among audiences throughout different Arab regions for his renditions of Anime theme songs, most notably UFO Robo Grendizer.

Binged all the S4P2 episodes of Attack on Titan. No point in waiting since the end of the show will actually be a future movie.

It's a shame because Solo Leveling was essentially the initial draw that pulled me into these other titles.


New Northern Blade. Poison Boi is going all out , Also Smart girl seems to be realizing how little she actually knows in the Grand Scheme of Things. Also Mu Won looks like he is in a tight spot which means he will also probably get some help.

I'm rewatching S4P1 and will probably start P2 next week or so. I agree no point of waiting if this is not the end.

They've really gone nuts with the gore. Some scenes are even bloodier than they were in the manga.
The show is supposedly ending with chapter 131. So that leaves another 8 chapters of the manga to cover.

Black clover manga has stolen my free time
