Yeah I said earlier I understand the logic of the mangaka and actually don't disagree with it for the sake of character development, showing the power of the Hashira and that Tanjiro still needs more training. My only complain was the fact Rui cut his head on his own kinda felt, I don't know, anti climatic? Maybe the mangaka didn't find another route for him to survive. It is not a big problem though. The fighting sequence in episode 20 and 11th form was as hype too.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Along with Dragonball this was the bad boy that got me into anime.
Started Yu Yu Hakusho and first couple of episodes are interesting. Hope they add different flavours later on....
Used to watch this on Adult Swim years ago. Should rewatch from the start.
Psycho Pass season 3 started airing yesterday with the first episode. The season is gonna be 8 episodes each of about 45 minutes.
Very interesting start so far for those who watched and liked the previous seasons and movie.

The One Piece anime has really pulled it's finger out it's arse with Wano, no? I can't remember the last time the show looked this good.
Up to date with Seven Deadly Sins barring this latest season currently airing. Seen a couple meh reviews on it so will wait until the full season is done before catching up with it.
Will just continue with MHA for now and finish a few old non-anime series I paused and then come back to anime around December and ask for recommendations if nothing catches my eye on Netflix.

Oden isn't messing around, is he?
Wano/Reverie keeps getting better and better, even when there's a departure from the current timeline...
P.S. The Straw Hats seem to have nothing on some of these crews, if we're being honest — need a massive power jump, and soon!
Full-on Haki clash with Shirohige...

Anyone know a good place to find One Punch Man Season 2 dubbed? On episode 6 and not able to find it anywhere.
Sent you a private message.
I just went on to my manga site to see if an update for Promised Neverland was available, and was shocked to see Black Lagoon. I watched about 2 episodes a good while ago. I was under the impression the series finished years ago.
Hey guys, new to this side of the forum, but being an avid anime watcher, i hope to become a constant in the discussions when I can.
My favourite anime would be, in no order, Attack on Titan, Monster, Erased, One Piece, Hunter x Hunter and Steins Gate, but have seen many more. Quick question, but do we have any Attack on Titan fans here? I am tortured by theories and questions with no one to turn to who has seen the whole show.
Look forward to chatting.

Yes I do in fact, are you a manga reader? Or just the anime?
Anyone else watching Babylon? What a crazy show.

The latest episode of Vinland Saga was great.
It was satisfying to see a character of Thorfinn's hubristic qualities to be completely humiliated. For those familiar with Greek tragedy, I really think it could be an anagnorisis moment for him. When Askeladd said he'd teach the protagonist to kill someone he hates, I don't think he was talking about himself, but rather the man who hired him to kill Thors. Moreover, I find the way characters such as Askeladd, and certainly Canute tackle the concept of religion to be profoundly interesting. As a matter of fact, the conclusions drawn reminds me of Satan's objective in John Milton's Paradise Lost.
Best sports anime I've ever watched, on par with Slam Dunk. The latest arc in the manga is also reaaaalllly excellent
For me, Hajime no Ippo will always be the greatest anime of all time.
But right now, I really want someone to throw me a toss.
Favourite sports anime for me is Ping Pong the Animation. Mind you, I've only just added it to my anime rotation having finished both seasons of Kakegurui. Really enjoying it, thus far.

Let me know what you think of part 2 of season 3. Some of the best story and animation I've seen in TV altogether.
Im still frustrated that we never got to see Ippo win a world title
I would also recommend Kuroko no Basket, another basketball one that has more emphasis on the shonen part of the genre. Gave me goosbumps when I was younger.
Im guessing the show has improved again? I kinda fell off during the Whole Cake Island arc, but been hearing good stuff about Wano. Plus my boy Zoro will be back finally, so thinking of starting up again.Oden isn't messing around, is he?

Any more details/ story development Sabo?
Really loving this right now. I didn't know what direction they'd take after Thors died, but I have been surprised. The show gets better and better. It's confusing at times as well as you don't know whether to like Askeladd or not- he will do something quite noble in one moment and the next thing you know he's slaughtered a village.
To be fair, considering Oda had initially planned on writing/drawing only the “Four Emperors” saga before developing/adding the whole pre-timeskip story line to One Piece, the slow start with Fishman Island, Punk Hazard and Whole Cake Island was entirely expected — it's all just a loooooong build-up to the battle/crescendo with Kaido and Big Mom. Though yeah, the pace has definitely picked up with Wano (and especially the Reverie info-dumps). The artwork is also top-notch these days since Wano Kuni (based on Feudal Japan) is much more personal to him than say Alabasta (Egypt/Arabia) or Whiskey Peak (Pueblo settlements), and he's regularly divulging long-awaited bits on historical figures/events (including Garp, bounties for the Yonko and Pirate King, the Roger/Whitebeard Pirates, and an even older crew that was more than a match for them).
1. Sabo is at Mary Geoise on a Revolutionary Army mission.

I recently read the One Piece manga from the start to the current chapter for the first time and I thought the early timeskip stuff was lot better than I remember it being (really helps not having to wait every week for a chapter and not having the substandard animation of the badly paced anime in mind). A certain dragon form is foreshadowed as early as Punk Hazard.
It's a masterpiece for me. I actually watched the show blindly. I had no idea of the plot, I was oblivious to what other people thought about the show, and I skipped the cinematic intro/opening when the ost plays, and you get a sense of what will happen in later episodes. Therefore, I was under the impression Thors was the main character when watching ... until his death of course. Like yourself, I wondered where the show would go from that point. I think it's utterly brilliant the way Askeladd has revolved around the plot, one could even be forgiven for thinking he's the main character. And it's almost like Thorfinn isn't the second main character either. He's very much on the periphery, a pawn that lacks guidance, accountablity, and a slave to his habits. For me, it's a constant reminder that he lacks a fatherly figure in his life, yet alone positioning the audience to question whether revenge on Askeladd would be the right course of action. The flashback of Askeladd's backstory where he mercilessly killed his father, does beg the question of whether that was foreshadowing of Thorfinn. It might well be the case that following humiliating defeat; realising that it's his very incentive to get revenge, which has made him do the dirty work of Askeladd under the pretext of "I'll let you challenge me and heroically give justice to your father" that may position Thorfinn to put on an act himself. A more mature version of himself. Humbled by the defeat, regain the respect of Ask, Canute, and Thorkell and then ruthlessly get revenge when nobody expects it. However, that would be at odds with his pride, where he previously had the opportunity to get revenge during Askeladd's sleep, and chose otherwise. In that sense, the contrast between those characters is powerful. And yet, it was the legendary Thors, who still has his reputation in tact that did something which would typically be seen as unheroic (faking death, fleeing from battle, seeking peace).
Who is your favourite anime and/or manga villain?
Anime - Aizen (Bleach) Main downside for me being his foresight can be a stretch at times.
Manga - Mother Isabella (The Promised Neverland)
Manhwa - Asha (Kubera)

Yup, I pretty much agree with everything you have said. It's shows like this and Attack on Titan that are great because the characters are so much more complex than you realise, you can't really guess what's going to happen as easily as you can with others. Also it's not as simple as good vs evil, it's not black and white like that- a lot greyer.
Vinland Saga is a real masterpiece. One of the best animes I have seen this year. Each episode is brilliant in its own way.
What a show it was.. I think I saw the whole anime 3 times.. I just loved it as a kid.. Too bad we haven't had any new episodes or movies after the series ended..
Bit busy these days so the only anime I’ve been able to follow has been Fate: Babylonia, but I think it’s been brilliant so far. The animation quality is insane, and I’m heavily invested in the Fate universe so my enjoyment is even more.
Im looking forward to restarting Vinland Saga as well when I get more free time, I stopped around episode 6 or so.

Just read the latest manga chapter for Attack on Titan, holy cow! Anybody else up to date in the reading material?
When I was younger, Aizen's reveal was so shocking and unexpected that I thought Bleach could possibly have a deeper more complex story from most Shonen. Oh how I was wrong, the Manga, if you read it got very confusing.
Favourites;
Anime - Obito/ Tobi ( Naruto )
Manga - Johan Liebert ( Monster )
The finale for Vinland Saga next week. Damn, gonna miss it a lot. Hopefully it'll be great and serves such an amazing anime well.
I'm more worried about lack of news about season 2 unlike Dr.Stone, but the preview for the finale is saying "End of the prologue" so that's the only piece hope I have.
