Watching the second season of One Punch Man. So good.

It's like someone read all of Triple A's posts and made an anime protagonist out of them.

On Netflix?!

No. Watching it by "other means".

I finally got around to watching gen:LOCK. It's actually pretty fucking good, and eagerly await a second season. My only (admittedly nitpicky) complaints are:

a) While the lore isn't necessary, it would have done well with a tad more exposition into the world as to understand the situation they're in. If this were a video game, we could prob'ly go around reading terminals to glean why and how the world is as it is. Here, we're just kinda dropped into it. There is also something that feels like a plot conclusion that people jumped to halfway through, but I can't describe it without spoilers. It seems like if there were even one more episode in the season somewhere, both of those things could have been ironed out without dragging any pace. Granted, 9 episodes would have been a weird number, but they can do whatever they want with their own show.

b) The animation... it's a little... jerky. There is this "lag" that I remember from a show like Zoids. Best way I can describe what I mean is if you tried to watch an episode of Beast Wars, but instead of on TV, you printed all the CG onto cells for the whole episode, and printed them in a flip book. It looks nice, but it moves a little choppy. Given that it is a RoosterTeeth producion that is built as animation from the ground up (as opposed to running on an existing game engine and being maniupulated as they're famed for), it is a damn good first attempt, and hope they can polish that up in the future.

Couple episodes into Parasyte. Really good so far.

Zipped through all the seasons of Date A Live while I was on vacation last week. Not bad for being on hiatus for 5 years.

IGN had an article today about comparing Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice to Dororo. Think I'll jump into that next.

Dororo is amazing. Its true to the source material and livesuo to the anime from the 60s. A+


As good as any of the all time great animes

Claymore

I tried watching this before, but the first episode just didn't hook me at all.

Decided to give it another chance and after the first few episodes it does start to pick up and get really good.

Fuck Rocky though. Mad annoying character.

Love Claymore.

Yeah Figs, you gotta get through the first couple episodes before it shifts over to Claire and really gets going. And yes, Raki sucks.

Soundtrack is one of the best.

It's one of those that just makes me wish there was more

Claymore is the shit! I think I'm going to go watch it again at some point this week. Hopefully.

lol

I bought One Punch Man on DVD and got 6 OA episodes. Dunno what OA is but I like it as a fun little extra.

This show is the business. I am constantly moving between laughing and silently emoting pure feels. Is season 2 as good so far?

Anime is such a racket though. You want to see the prices of these DVD's and Blu Ray's. £20 for One Punch Man on DVD, £40 on Blu Ray.

OVAs are non canonical. Bonus eps.

Oh yeah, it does say OVA.

That's Latin for eggs.
Spanish omelette for tea then.

"Original Animation Video" (they can be called OVA or OAV) basically its direct to DVD content. Cant stress that theyre 99% non-canonical though.

Steins;gate has an OVA that takes place after the series/source material that is completely contradicted by the follow up series.

The One Punch OVAs are good though. No canon implications really. Anthology misadventures. Good stuff.

Grew up on gundam so I always thought ova’s were canonical.

It's fucking great.

Kakegurui season 2 dropped on Netflix.

Watched the first episode and it's just as wacky and twisted as the first season.

I watched the series Eden of the East a few years back. 11 eps but a great show. Always stuck with me. It has great closure with the arcs told within and is self contained but theres a larger arc left unresolved that was tied up with 2 feature length films.


For whatever reason i never got around to them. Watched the first yesterday...nothing happens. At all. Nothing is progressed or revealed. Truly poorly written. This is from the guy who did ghost in the shell so bad writing is the last thing you expect.


Watching the 2nd film now. 20 min in and nothing has happened but im optinistic everything gets wrapped up...but its begining to feel like an OVA the same way the 1st film did...which is not what i was looking for...


Its possible the films were meant to wrap things up and a 2nd 11 ep run was meant to but never happened? I dunno...speculating.

After the 1st act the film gets back on track and becomes the poignant social commentary that the 1st film lacked.

Never watched Anime, but i started watching Neon Genesis : Evangelion and i'm kinda hooked atm. I'm on episode 4. I'm gonna be pretty disappointed if Shinji doesnt get to fuck Misato.

One punch season 2 is good. Fuck the haters

Are all the good Anime dubbed with English and what are the good ones on Netflix?

One Punch Man

You will not regret it.

Netflix lately has been churning out their own Anime. They have a selection of good stuff you might be familiar with (Fairy Tail, Attack of Titan to name a few), but Netflix hasn't added the remaining seasons.

Lately, it looks like they're getting back into adding some classic titles to their library. Code Geass and Evangelion are the 2 big ones I noticed.

You want a great anime on Netflix? Seven Deadly Sins. Season 4 supposed to come out later this year.

and while not all the good anime are dubbed into English, most of them are nowadays. I rather enjoy the trend of the simuldub, where we get the dubs at the same time or at least fairly fast after the native language broadcast.

Also if you like One Punch Man seriously give Mob Pyscho 100 a chance. Very similar but at the same time entirely different.

Also can't recommend Psycho Pass highly enough.

My favorites during the current season are The Rising of the Shield Hero and Bungo Stray Dogs.

Not to be "that guy" but what they call s2 is the OVAs from s1 and I expect whats coming as s4 will be the OVAs from s2.



No clue why netflix labeled them they way they did.

Theyre creating ff3/ff6 confusion in terms though

Yeah, it was pretty weird how they did that. I'm under the impression that season 4 is a full season though.

I wont object. The show is great.

If a full season does drop itll only be s3 though

Yeah. I know that. You know that. It'll be listed as season 4 though so why confuse people over semantics?

because if you go to buy these you're going to get confused.

Its only netlfix that has these listed wrong. anywhere else you go to purchase (or illegally watch) these is going to have them correctly.

Just watched the latest One Punch Man. All these upgrades Genos gets every time he is defeated seem to finally be paying off. And he seems like he's getting "woke" within the context of the show, i.e. he is finally starting to understand the advice Saitama gives him.

:nono:

Can't believe Netflix fucked around with Evangelion.

Might have to just put the breaks on that and just watch through a website.
