The Misfit of Demon King Academy E1
Ok this is kinda super dumb, but I can't say I didn't enjoy it. Sometimes I am just a sucker for absolutely totally overpowered protagonists

I guess it's dark in that sense of "stakes" , not sure how young me would take it. What I mean by dark is deeply personal occurrences to the children that a young viewer would need to internalize: what does it mean that a character is gone forever, why did agumon evolve into a monster? Why is there a tension in the lives of Matt and TK? Things that the viewer (a child) has to process when they happen to their stand in. Otherwise the big bad is just a big bad, I would imagine.
I mean, they already did that in the 2nd movie. Maybe it's due to most people remembering of the dub of it so only thinking about ska the whole time, kind of diminished that conflict.
oh yeah OG digimon introduced me to a lot of hella dark concepts. Like in the family units Matt and TK's parent's divorce was a big factor even when the parents weren't actively fighting, Tai being scared for Kairi and what it meant to protect/coddle someone, the excitement of adventure in the digital realm giving way to fear of never seeing your parents again or (worse) them forgetting you ever existed at all...
Launching nukes can be dramatically dark but in the movie it just came across as more action-movie esque really.
Since this season is empty af, I took a look at my Plan to Watch, trying to clean it and chose some to watch. I'm left out with these that I'm not sure if they are worth watching or not. Of those which would y'all consider must watch?
Yeah this is how it was for me. I had to deal with my parents divorce at that time so Matt and TK definitely made me feel better, knowing how they also struggled. I cried at Lemon and Wizardmon's deaths because as a kid that concept of death was not only alien, but scary. If anything I remember this show fondly because of how it didn't underestimate what children can handle, and in doing so makes it relevant for me as an adult 20+ years later. That magic is what I hope they can capture, if not for me, but for a new young audience.

Lot of great choices but for the time being I recommend to make re:zero a priority since the second season will air soon and you would have something to look forward this season methinks -in case you end up liking it- , it IS interesting when it shouldn't be, one of the better isekais out there and when it shines it REALLY shine, surprisingly great direction in a lot of episodes.Since this season is empty af, I took a look at my Plan to Watch, trying to clean it and chose some to watch.

I suppose I was viewing it through the lens the crew more going on an adventure to get back to the real world, with the darker themes coming in later in the story. Also, as I happened to watch it when I was in my late teens, I'm sure some of that had less impact on me overall. As for this update, it seems like they might front-load a bit more of these themes.I guess it's dark in that sense of "stakes" , not sure how young me would take it. What I mean by dark is deeply personal occurrences to the children that a young viewer would need to internalize: what does it mean that a character is gone forever, why did agumon evolve into a monster? Why is there a tension in the lives of Matt and TK? Things that the viewer (a child) has to process when they happen to their stand in. Otherwise the big bad is just a big bad, I would imagine.
I guess I should watch Clannad next.
Of the stuff on the list, I'd probably say Clannad, then Re:Zero, then the first season of Psycho-Pass are "must watch" series based entirely upon those being the three series I have direct experience with.Since this season is empty af, I took a look at my Plan to Watch, trying to clean it and chose some to watch.

OVA, not so much. The movie tho is worth a watch regardless. Not sure if S2 is gonna cover any of Lia's backstory or not and that's what is covered in the movie.Man do I really have to watch an OVA and a movie to not be totally lost for Re:Zero S2
Maybe I'll watch it over vacation. I watched the first arc ages ago and then stopped for some reason, so it's been on my list for a long time.
That is Fall 2020 my friend
There I go getting confused again. I should probably just stare at the MAL seasonal chart long enough to figure out what is when and what has or has not been delayed because of COVID
Can't wait :O

Oh, I've heard it goes places you don't expect. It's making the time to watch it.S1 may be slow at times, but trust me when I say it's all important set-up for the full story as it plays out during After Story

After you watch Re:Zero (like mentioned already, it's better to watch the Director's Cut version), it's recommended to watch the Frozen Bond OVA before the second season as well.Thanks for the input everyone!
I guess I'll give priority to Re:Zero then, once I get that done I'll watch Clannad and then the rest. IIRC there was a announcement recently for a new Log Horizon season, right? If it's not that far away I might wait to watch it closer to the new season.
log horizon is pushed to 2021, because of pushes to shows before it.Thanks for the input everyone!

Now that you are done with the series, you can enjoy it's memes without fearSamurai Flamenco END
Did this show just go ahead and make Flamenco gay? Holy smokes what a fitting last episode of crazy shit. This show exceeded my wildest expectations. It is absolute bonkers and it pulls it off. Great easy watch. Would be in my top 20 anime of the decade.

Clannad after story is great, unfortunately you have to watch Clannad's first season to watch that... which is at best okay. but overall totally worth it.Since this season is empty af, I took a look at my Plan to Watch, trying to clean it and chose some to watch.

I have it listed as a 6/10 on MAL but it was a long time ago. I do recall wishing most of the episodes would move faster. There were a couple of interesting episodes but a lot of them were meh to me, and most of the cast didn't leave much of an impression.
Eizouken END
Took a hiatus on this because I was working on watching some other stuff. I enjoyed it, it was a fun show for sure, but I don't think I loved it nesrly as much as some of you guys on here did.
Pokemon Twilight Wings 4-6
Nessa episode was good and so pretty.
Allister episode was nice too. Still a bit weird that the series is basically about two random kids but seems like they will both attend Leon's fight for the final episode.
Also man, I would kill for a Pokemon game that had half the life this series has. The tap dancing Mr Rime performance was good and the Pumpkaboo lamp is such a good idea.
Only when it's in OVA form :( Some of the best Pokemon animation comes from OVAs/shorts/previews :/ The B2W2 preview made me really wish that they just made a whole series based on the actual game characters/stories, but we only get those in short form.

To me he reads as being on the aro/ace spectrum (from what I remember), even if the intent is him being gay and very emotionally stunted. He's definitely queer coded any way you slice it.Samurai Flamenco END
