Re: Zero was an incredible show. You just have to get past the part of the MC being a total complaining bitch. It happens a lot, but the good of the show FAR outweighs the bad. It ruled.

Here's a list of all the recent shows that I liked enough to justify downloading the series to save for a second watch.

Ajin (season 1 & 2)
Aldnoah.Zero
Baby Steps (seasons 1 & 2)
Ballroom e Youkoso
Boku no Hero Academia (seasons 1 & 2)
DanMachi (top tier show. season 1 was awesome. Season 2 was called Sword Oratoria, but it wasn't as good)
GATE
Gundam Build Fighters (seasons 1 & 2)
Hai to Gensou no Grimgar
Haikyuu!! (seasons 1, 2 & 3)
Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! (seasons 1 & 2)
Log Horizon (seasons 1 & 2)
Made in Abyss
No Game No Life
One-Punch Man
Overlord
Re: Creators
Re: Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu
Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso
Shokugeki no Soma (seasons 1, 2 & 3)
Sword Art Online (seasons 1, 2 & Movie)

This is cultural cuz Japs more readily identify w/ the bitchy mc, cuz they are all just a bunch of complain bitches.

So we suffer w/ weakbread characters b/c these are the types that are more identifiable w/ a Jap audience.

what's a solid recent-ish series to start?

is made in abyss good? the reviews are super high but i don't know about the kiddy art style lol

i was told to watch Rage of bahamut, confirm/deny?

Made in Abyss will have your feelings all over the place to the point it was un-enjoyable! Yet satisfying.

Here you go. You're in the maternity ward looking thru the glass at all the newborns. You find a baby that in your mind you are saying, "OMG that is the cutest baby I have ever seen"! Then the baby's head explodes. You get baby parts spread all over the glass that slowly slide down. The baby's face remains in tact somehow as it hits the window, and sticks there not sliding like the rest. You're horrified of course, but as that baby's face is stuck there smiling, you think it's still kinda cute as tears roll from it's eyes. It's kinda like that.

Per the torrent I grabbed - "The first episode received an early screening at a special event held at United Cinema Aqua City Odaiba on 17.12.2017, as well as an early broadcast on AbemaTV on 30.12.2017. Regular broadcasting begins on January 9, 2018." Still wanna re-watch season 1 before I dive into it though.

Finished with Nanatsu no Taizai, so good. For all that fighting and power though, they sure do have a hard time actually killing most people. Now I just gotta find the OVA's and such that aren't in Russian...

Gowther is best girl.
Wtf? Diane is best girl.

What will season 2 of Nanatsu cover from the manga?

I genuinenly didn't know how it could be 'fucked up', but that left me feeling similar to how it feels watching requiem for a dream for the first time.

Jesus christ that was a wild ride, but fantastic.

This Shokugeki no soma show is incredible. A fucking anime about cooking and I’m all invested. Cracks my ass up. Resubbed to Crunchyroll so I just binge at work. Guess Made in Abyss is next.

Somehow I'm envious, because after many seasons of anime I got a bit jaded. Especially after Higurashi. That one was a super slow buildup and pure messing with your expectations over and over again, resulting in some rocket grade nightmare fuel.

Also, it's time:

I had no idea there was a season 3 already, i need to go watch that ASAP. I love that show lol

I started Rage of Bahamut last night to cleanse myself of that despair from MiA, seems pretty neat. The animation style is very nice and quite detailed, i think i'll go finish Food Wars first though now that i know theres a newer season i missed!

Anyone else having problem putting this thread on their watch list? I can watch other threads, but not this one for some reason.

There's also 12 more episodes coming next season.

For all you Amazon Prime members. Just got this email about 20 minutes ago

We have great news: you no longer need a subscription to watch the shows and movies on Anime Strike. All titles are now included with your Prime membership at no additional charge, effective today, in addition to thousands more movies and TV shows. There is no action needed on your part—we’ve automatically canceled your recurring subscription for you.

They automatically cancelled my Anime Strike sub because Amazon actually has good customer service, for anyone who has Anime Strike already.
