Winter 2018/2019 Anime Thread

Shield Hero really was a good start. I am hyped for the rest of the season. I foresee him going big baller after he figures out how to grind dem xps better.

Anyone watching the promised Neverland?

I was on the fence about watching this show, so I gave it a shot. Seems promising. Possibly even darker than Made in Abyss ?

What the fuck Promised Neverland.

Why can't I find a single mention of Baki on this forum ? I'm up to episode 8 so far and it's pretty fucking great.

Because it makes Baki seem like some weak and stupid tard. The OG Baki was great but this one seems like they dumbed him down some. Honestly this series of Baki is less Baki and more everyone else - its just not intriguing really.

2019, still no made in abyss season 2 ;(

Peter F. Hamilton was in town next to mine the other day, kinda surprised me, but in the end the room was full, he sold out, and there was a long ass queue to sign the books. Anyway he said some interesing stuff, like how alien invading can't possibly be for regular ressources, as any FTL civilization is unlikely to have any trouble getting those. I wonder if it's a take on this : it seems the value of a kid is dependant on its intelligence, and the "monsters" seems quite degenerate.

No not even close since it's shonen. There is some body horror but nothing too drastic. The manga is wrapping up very soon and is on its last arc (chapter 117 i think?), kinda obvious the writer ran out of ides on the story. Still a great premise though.

It's probably best if that kind of show doesn't last forever. Pretty sure we still have people with PTSD from Lost over here.

Damn; Shield Hero with the strong start.

In until it sucks, for sure.

Shield Hero also confirmed for 25 episodes today.

Nope....I'm good.

My Roommate Is A Cat - Enjoyed the first ep. Slice of life stuff.
Date A Live - Will get to that tomorrow.
Boogiepop - Same here.

Radiant - Off to a good start for second half.
The Morose Mononokean - 2nd season. Also off to a good start.
Slime - I almost feel bad for Geld. The manga made him actually seem dangerous. Anime? 1 ep you die.
Mob Pscyho S2 - Yay Mob!
Meiji Tokyo Renka - Time travel. Reverse harem. Amnesia. Not sold on it yet.
Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka - Pretty brutal fighting in this one. I like it.
HInomaru - Round 2, fight!

Watched Promised Neverland. I like the premise, but that first episode was stupid, like really bad. Simply no reason for there to be a second episode, unless everyone dies (if everyone does die, then yea, best show of the season).
