If I don't particularly like Mecha anime, would I enjoy NGE and TTGL? I guess the best I can take from FranXX is that I'm starting to have some curiosity about those shows.

SAOAGGO 09

omg that was a great episode.
Pito is cruel and just slaughters everyone. The insert song was a nice addition to the scene.
LLENN is just as cruel and their strategy was good. The guy being a pervert was unnecessary but I don't really care for these stuff and can just shrug these parts. At least Fuka did justice.
Seems like the show supports LGBT so good for that, the scene with that woman was pretty funny.

I dont know if we needed her to demand a kiss from LLENN though.

P5A Episode 10

Also dont know if we really needed the gay men jumping and tackling Ryuji like that.

In any case, I wish Mishima would play more of a role, though I love how quickly he is to apologize and defend himself whenever he gets caught or questioned by the littlest thing in that loud voice of his, the scenes in the tv station were lol.

They made a lot of junk to be honest, (including everyone's favorite show from a few seasons back, Hundred.) but it's still a shame when a studio closes.

Hope everyone lands on their feet.
I really enjoyed Active Raid from them. It was a really fun series, though the first couple of episodes were a bit awkward in terms of pacing. I wish it had been more successful.

Zzzz boring, tropey, who cares.

SAOAGGO

The bald guy scene, other than its funny conclusion was a bit... eeeeh. Other than that, solid episode, I can't wait for Pito vs LLENN. The anime does a fantastic job hyping them up.

Really liked this episode, they trying to be normal, the piggy scene at the the end, Hirotaka struggles, the haunted house switch, Hirotaka and Hanako talk. Narumi almost gave a heart attack in the end
Sangatsu no lion season 1
This was really good

neo new Puzzle & Dragons Episode 10

Just ranking matches and nothing real, but was fun seeing Ryuji settle in with the main crew. Looking forward to serious events.

Beatless (todays)

Arato Endo should have gone with Lacia, the promises, should have listened to the heart and trusted her. I hope he gets reunited with her immediately (sorry Ryo, but even though your my otp with him, you called him a sap and are listened to the 2nd worst RedBox, Methode, youre going down).

Snowdrop has an interesting plan, the human shields part for her plan was intense.

i personally very much enjoy neon genesis evangelion - it's a character study about depression with the accouterments of the mecha genre, using its deconstruction to express its themes

just keep in mind that it invokes western religious symbolism as mystic imagery instead of as an underlying theme itself - which from my perspective living in america i find to be an interesting inversion of the typical trope of invoking eastern religious symbolism as mystic imagery

the common "too deep for you" complaints are generally from people looking for deeper religious meaning in the symbolism, when really it serves the opposite purpose of being symbolic for certain behavior

So when are they going to reveal that this is a NGE spinoff?

SAOA: GGO - 09
This show remains absolutely amazing. And geeze, Sigsawa really has a thing for androgynous female characters - not that I'm complaining! And she's bisexual, too. Huh. Did not expect that. I just hope the 'perverted queer person' trope does not apply here (we've already got a semi-questionable introduction with the kiss thing).

But also... really? A guy who was actually going to molest a corpse on a live broadcast? Wat. Oh, Japan...

I have absolutely nothing positive to say about Darling. Creatively bankrupt and doesn't know what sort of show it wants to be. Nishigori needs to go back to making idol anime.

BeyBlade Burst Evolution Episode 21 EngDub

This movie and dueling as Space Ninjas is pretty fun and hilarious, and the actual bey battle with one of the big five is awesome too. Kuze was so confident, but then that second half. played by Joshua Burns. Lets go Honcho!

Kind of a nothing episode, though we got a few more confidants and a great sequence of Makoto following MC around. Hopefully next week will do some service to the next awakening.

Also that tease at the end seemed unnecessary, though I guess the anime doesn't have the time to fold that character in.
Also dont know if we really needed the gay men jumping and tackling Ryuji like that.
Somehow they made that scene from the game even worse.

neo new Cardfight!! Vanguard Episode 3 engdub

Yeah, impossible, I hate this because there is no way noob Aichi Sendou can come away defeated Kamui The Great! I demand the animators apologize for this offensive episode. Kamui is the best cardfighter.

Also Miwa, is still perfect.

I love how happy all of this is now.

Boku No Hero 10

I thought Yutaka Nakamura was gonna to animate for a full episode for sure, but it's just only scene with Bakugo and All Might's fight and that's about it.

I'm not very disappointed though; it was still fantastic.

Dat out of focus belly.

Whoa, wasn't expecting that time skip. I'm happy for my girl ECP making it overseas but kind of sad as that was Suzuka's dream that's been sidelined, temporarily I hope.

Great comeback for Grass Wonder! This was a humbling loss for Spe-chan as well. It's great that she's caring for Suzuka but it's borderline obsessive and she also needs to focus on herself! She also has a dream to work towards. Seeing Suzuka succeeding at rehab was encouraging and I hope she's running sooner than later.

What the heck is with these moving themes and drama. This show continues to excel.

i personally very much enjoy neon genesis evangelion...

That "too deep" is what turned me off and always thought it was "too edgy" while I was a teenager.

I don't watch much mecha, and I thought TTGL was great.

Gonna give it a try, better to take advantage while it is still available on Netflix on my area.

What mecha series have you watched? If it's just stuff like Gundam, then something like Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is very different as a super robot series compared to those "real robot" series

No idea which Gundam was it back when I was young, I remember Mazinger Z, I even hated on Power Rangers when the mecha part started haha. The ones I can say I remember watching completely are Gene Shaft and Candidate for Goddess which I actually remember quite fondly, now that I think about it I guess that's the reason I haven't dropped FranXX, it reminds me so much of it with with the FxM partners, Female mechas and back when life was much more simpler.

Wait a second, did Franxx rip it off too? it even had the overweight character too, and his arc was handled a thousand times better.

I remember he had to lose weight, those too were missing for some time and dude came back super thin and no stamina, with her saying it was a secret how they manage to do so, my impression was "Wait a... Did, did they bang until he got fit? that's it wasn't it."

The coziest of New Years. Feels comfy to have the show back to normal after all that Peter Pan madness, heh.

Hisone to Masotan 09

We already knew that if they fall in love there will be problems but damn, was pretty tough to see it in the last scene.
So probably one of the Miko must be sacrificed? Seems like it from the things they say.

On a side note, Mari Okada really likes them love triangles huh?
