If you mean dub you are doing yourself a disservice. The japanese voice actors are just miles better. Power has a pretty insane VA.

Let me look at the episode list for you real quick. I made a thing a while back so I could watch it straight after trying dropping it a few times because of fillers. I just cut and paste the list and noted what is filler or not.

There are roughly 366 episodes. If you strictly skipped fillers you can kill off over 150 episodes. I skipped fillers because it was like they were having a middle of a big ass war and it goes to filler arc so anime didn't catch up. You can go back to it at a later time since it doesn't change in terms of continuity.

Awesome thanks. It's insane how much filler these big anime added to their shows. Rumor is Black Clover decided to just go on hiatus instead of releasing filler arcs.

Same creator. I am currently re-reading One Punch Man. It's just as hilarious the second time around. Haven't got around to watching the anime of either OPM or Mob Psycho yet.

New Spy Family this fall! :)

Also, I've been told that Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun is a top tier anime. Thoughts?

No. It's trash for kids. lol!

My daughter loves anime and made me watch it with her. I toughed it out for her, but it's not something to seek out at all.
 
The Simpsons are doing an anime episode on their Treehouse of Horrors special on 10/30/22. Homage to Death Note, using the actual animation studio. Homer looks great knocking back sake!!! :D

Have you started reading Reaper of the Drifting Moon ? It's the same author of Legend of thr Northern Blade. The Manwha looks good but leaves out significant details from the novel , still a compelling story though.

I had been, and was going to recommend it here, but there's a time-skip like ~25 chapters in and I thought it sucked afterwards. The design for the MC completely changes and the plot pacing revs way up to the major detriment of the series.

Damn that actually looks good. Might watch the Simpsons for the first time in like a decade +.

Same. I haven't watched an episode of The Simpsons in probably the same amount of time, but I will check this one out!
 
Just saw the first episode of the new second half season of Jojo Stone Ocean. I'm so confused I may need to watch a recap of the first half again....

I may wait on Chainsaw Man until it's completed then. I did that with Jujutsu Kaisen and was happy I waited even though I was late to the party.

Same. Except for Bleach. I've never seen it but maybe I'll check it out.

Do it. There's definitely a lot of haters towards Bleach, but I liked it a lot. Maybe it's because I'm a simpleton when it comes to action shounen and I'm not a manga reader. I may rewatch it again, but plan to find a Kai version (no fillers) and watch it at a faster speed. Ideally I can hold off until 2024...

To me watching a good anime once it's already done is the best. Almost any tv show really. I hate having to wait week after week especially during a good fight. I fucked up with Demon Slayer and what's arguably their best season\fight was sort of ruined waiting week by week to finish it. I still make the mistake of watching before it's done here and there but it's very rare for me now. Lots of new anime I want to watch have come back and I'm committed to just waiting. I started up Golden Kamuy recently to give me plenty to watch and if I finish that it's Star Blazer 2199 next. By then everything else should be ready to go.

Yea I've added Bleach to my list and I saved the filler list above to skip those.

Are they doing the chainsaw man pacing correctly? Anime is weird because they have 1 season to make an impact so they might cut and skip the worldbuilding/backstory to the exciting part.

So far it's practically a shot-for-shot adaptation of the manga. They only skipped the muscle-devil fight. My guess is that season one'll end with the Katana Man fight.

That's a real Simpsons episode?

Yep, it's going to be on this season's Treehouse of Horrors special. There is a clip from the episode in the post (twitter). Funny, Disco Stu has a cameo in the background. lol!

Yes agreed , which sucks be reading the book his revenge arc and his time spent in the snake pit should not have been glossed over it jumps ahead way too much.
 


Rewatched Escfalowne the movie, talk about epic fantasy.... the design the music the action all top notch.

Really enjoyed it, whole time I was watching I kept thinking that they need to do more stories in the same world. Prequels or stories set in the future, it's such a waste not to use the world for more stories.
