What Anime Are You Currently Watching / Recently Finished?

Oh my, you'll have to let us know how you like it. I'm always up for fangirling about Gintama. What part did you actually start with? Where America started dubbing? The original Jump Fest special? The 2006 series? Such a fun show. I still want more.


Okay so it has been a while since I've posted my progress here and I've honestly forgot what I've seen recently that isn't currently airing. I think that might be bacsue I haven't watched much that isn't a new release. The only thing I absolutely remember is Umaru and ugh. I hate myself for finding anything about that show enjoyable. I despise the MC, that little piece of trash. But I enjoy the supporting cast and their interactions. after wanting to give it a 4 originally I changed my mind for a 6 since the power of friendship.....
And courtesy of @BK-201 my torture will continue on since he's convinced me to keep watching. Wish me luck.

 

I take no responsibility, you're just a masochist!

 

Well it took me 18 days but I finally finished watching Umaru 2, which is just 12 episodes. Well done me. And I actually liked it more than S1 since we've already got all our established characters interacting. Maybe that was my problem, it took too long to have enough characters to fill the screen time with more than just Umaru house version. I still have a love hate relationship with this show since I enjoy the show and pretty much all the characters but I hate the creature that is Umaru.
I gave it a 7. What the hell is wrong with me @BK-201 I could actually go for a S3 now since I want Ebina's brother to do more.

 

Lol, you are evolving or a masochist!
Maybe you should watch Clannad now!!!

 

I'm actually scared to. I want to hate it so if I actually enjoy it even a bit that will make things harder. Can't I just rewatch AnoHana? That was a great show. A helpful site just uploaded a special to do with it just the other day. Am I ready to cry again because of that music?

 

So after Umaru I needed to pick something quickly and I only had a few options in mind. Isekai mum was one choice but I stayed strong and walked away. Instead I chose to start Yu Yu Hakusho for the first time. @Batosai you proud?
I am semi in love with it already. The good old 90's animation with classic delinquent set up. Why have I not watched this sooner? Not going to lie I was getting a little emotional with the first episode. Seen two eps so I hope it only gets better from here.

 

Double post because I just wanted to share @Noobs @BK-201 . Tonight I went to watch Weathering with You, Makoto Shinkai's newest movie. It was good. However as the man himself promised that his next movie will be better than Your Name I think everyone's expectations had been set too high. Top notch visuals, fun cast, nice music. But I don't see this movie getting nearly the attention that Your Name did.
I'd rewatch it in the future sure but it didn't get me overly emotional. After internally debating, I decided I'd rate it a 7. As I said it was good. Much better than the last anime movie I saw, Children of the Sea. I'm still trying to see if I can rate this an 8. I might have to think some more.

EDIT: Wait you haven't seen Your Name Noobs?

 

@Noobs you need to fix that and get it done! STOP WORKING AND WATCH IT NOW!!!

Seriously though, it's a must watch for any anime fan.

 

I knew you had, but when I clicked statistics and you didn't appear I was left very confused. Good to know, or rather relearn that you've seen it.

Awesome. You planning on going then? I love that anime movies are making it outside Japan so quickly now.

 

Considering it is such a huge movie and just looks absolutely stunning, like all of Shinkai's other works, you had to have seen it by now. When you were off the forum, wasn't that the end of last year?

That's what we did, 2nd last day its showing on a weekday. there were a few people but the cinema was empty. We had a whole row. What times is it showing for you? Anime movies seem to be shown at a standard of 4pm. 6:30pm and 9pm here in local cinemas.
This line is exactly what keeps me coming back to read your comments. Always enjoyable. It isn't boring so falling asleep shouldn't be a problem.

 

Ok movie yet you rated it a 9? Sounds like when I say I hate something yet I give it a 4. Great movie is usually what you hear people say about it.

Yeah I agree there. Even the smallest interactions between Hodaka and Hina made me smile. And it just looks gorgeous which helps.
Funnily enough, it got an extended showing here. Certain Aus cinemas have extended its run for another week. Even adding in a morning session. Its funny because thats what we were complaining about before seeing it.

As for me well I've seen 5 eps of Yu Yu Hakusho now, my god it appeals to me so much. 90s delinquent and ghosts. Seriously @Batosai you should have convinced me to watch this years ago I'd probably nearly finished it in a week if I started this 5 years ago.
