Bleach has always been and forever will be shit, imo.Anyone watching the Bleach Anime reboot?
It's fine. A bit darker toned as expected and a bit fast paced. Will watch it anyway just because I remember a few of the main fights being pretty cool.I haven't yet but I plan to, have you? If so how are you finding it so far?
Doesn't matter.Bleach has always been and forever will be shit, imo.
I hardly watch any anime anymore, but that's basically why I'm going to watch this to see those fights adapted, and the nostalgia factor.It's fine. A bit darker toned as expected and a bit fast paced. Will watch it anyway just because I remember a few of the main fights being pretty cool.
Yeah. Nostalgia for me as well as I was well into it when it first aired. Visuals in the current one look pretty cool.I hardly watch any anime anymore, but that's basically why I'm going to watch this to see those fights adapted, and the nostalgia factor.
Even though there was a lot to criticise Bleach for after its early run, I always loved the art work and the visuals I've seen look great.
This is streaming on Netflix, would reccomend to watch.Hajime No Ippo - its just too good.

I use wcostream.com it's pretty good. Has the latest demon slayer episodes up to the Entertainment District arc.Is Baki with watching? Saw it on Netflix and started it but then realised there's SO MANY EPISODES... Is it any good?
Also, anywhere I can watch season 2 of Demon Slayer in the UK? (Not Mugen Train).
To be honest, I barely watch ongoing (or “temporarily halted”) anime now! The long wait between seasons (3 years for Vinland Saga, 5 years for Made in Abyss, 4 years for Re: Zero, 3 years for Tower of God, 4 years for One Punch Man, undetermined for Land of the Lustrous, et cetera) has throttled my interest. That being said, I might binge-watch Vinland Saga Season 2 in the days leading up to the finale.
Fair enough. Was wondering what was up, given this thread was active during Season 1. Yeah, I feel you on that one. I imagine the long breaks is especially annoying for you, as you've completed a large amount of anime series already.To be honest, I barely watch ongoing (or “temporarily halted”) anime now!

I'm afraid not. I haven't actually seen any of it! Would you recommend it?
Yeah, thats the problem with anime based on "ongoing" manga or light novels. You really have to wait a long time for sequels so that enough material is produced along the way.To be honest, I barely watch ongoing (or “temporarily halted”) anime now!

Unfortunately, I haven't had time to watch anime for a very long time now, working, life and such. I'm planning to return to this and other anime in the future though, once I have some bit of free time.
That was the problem with season 3 of Kenshin too. Really wished they actually waited and made the 3rd part of the mange instead of going off on a completely different tangent that was basically an entire season of filler episodes.Yeah, thats the problem with anime based on "ongoing" manga or light novels.

Still better than having anime original endings like for example Claymore.
Ah, I see. It starts slowly as @tinfish said. I'm talking like a good six or seven episodes, but once you reach episode 8 you start to appreciate the earlier episodes. I think character development is the author's strong point and this season has been no exception. It's not been a series of much action though, so can imagine that being off-putting for some.I'm afraid not. I haven't actually seen any of it! Would you recommend it?
Truth be told, I have a hard time getting into modern anime because I just personally don't like the art style it's now become accustom to. It's too polished for me. I much prefer the, say, gritty art style of anime before the mid-late 2000s change.
I still watch anime that are like this of course. It's just harder to get into for me. If there's been a reboot of an old anime, I'll always opt for the classic. A recent example is Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai. Though I did watch, and enjoy, the reboot of Hunter X Hunter when that came out!
On a side note, I haven't seen any of your posts myself in a good while before this so I was happy to hear from you!
Ah fair enough. It was in the back of my mind that you called Season 1 a "masterpiece" so figured there was a reason Season 2 hadn't been mentioned up till now.Unfortunately, I haven't had time to watch anime for a very long time now, working, life and such.

At first it was odd because you didn't know what he was about, but there was a point where it became really creepy. Shocked they got away with it tbh.Has anyone ever watched Hunter x Hunter? This Hisiko grooming of Gon on Killua treads a very thin line.
He’s a great character but sometimes it’s a bit close
Yes at first ok he was a little creepy he just sees potential for a good fight in those two once they mature. That’s cool and all, decent enough motives. However the episode I just watched they stumble across him bathing and it’s insinuated that when he sees how much they’ve improved that he gets sexually aroused whilst standing naked in front of them ,its just like what the ….At first it was odd because you didn't know what he was about, but there was a point where it became really creepy.

It will be a 1 hour long episode sometime in October/November.Attack on Titan is still so good. Anyone know how many parts the final bit is? I can’t see a release date for the next episode.
Damn I'll have forgotten what's going on all over again thenIt will be a 1 hour long episode sometime in October/November.
There's always the manga.Damn I'll have forgotten what's going on all over again then
I definitely think I'll check it out as well as some of the others you listed there. Also, that's awesome to hear about your passion projects! I can only wish you the best of luck.Ah, I see.

Hmm okay interest take on the art style. You've probably seen it already, but there's an anime post mid-late 2000s in Megalo Box with an animation style that is reminiscent of classic anime from the 90s, with a focus on hand-drawn art and retro character designs. Well, I say that but it was inspired by Ashita no Joe which was either the 70s or late 60s.
I don't think I've got a preference in art style myself. I loved the abstract approach of Katanagatari, the 3D gemstone models of Land of Lustrous, the now cliché and "too polished" art style of Tokyo Revengers and the Great Pretender, and notwithstanding the gritty style of Aoi Bungaku.
The oldest anime I watched in the past three or four years is probably Now and then, here and then. It comfortably exceeded my expectations.
Thank you, that's awfully kind. The feeling is mutual, tagged you for a reason. Been pursuing some passion projects. For example, I've got a documentary in the works, and hope to have written my first book within two years.
Okay, I am starting to catch on with Vinland Saga Season 2!
The only point of criticism is that there aren't as many enthralling characters (and I'm not feeling similar rushes of satisfaction on an episode-to-episode basis), which is paradoxical as there's a deliberate emphasis on character development. Season 1 felt very dynamic and gripping with Askeladd, Canute, Björn, Thors, Thorkell — I'm struggling to care for prominent Season 2 characters like Einar (annoying sidekick), Ketil (spineless, egoistical maniac), Arnheid (a whole lot of soppy nothingness).

Marked shift from Vinland Saga Season 1 in terms of delivery and flavor (hard to tell it's the same show!), but thus far, I'm enjoying it a lot. Episode 9 was excellent, as you pointed out — a real high point in the anime, like Episode 19 for Kimetsu no Yaiba. The surreal sequences with undead corpses, Askeladd, Thors and the metaphor of Thorfinn's victims were cathartic and mesmerizing in equal measure; looks like the protagonist is undergoing a meaningful boy-to-man metamorphosis in front of our eyes, learning to forgive others as well as himself, and finally figuring out what it takes to be a true warrior like Thors (though I don't quite agree some of the half-baked notions of pacifism, they feel a bit juvenile and Thorfinn needs further development to crystallize his stance).
