The bot is a week late on this one. If you want to see the discussion thread for this episode that I posted, see here.
I have always had Gintama on my list to watch but have been told that it is better once you have really watched a lot of anime due to the amount of references to the larger anime ecosystem. So, I have held off on watching it so that I can work through other shows to build up my anime repertoire. However, that was years ago, so I just need to pull the trigger at some point.
Agreed. They certainly glided past that part of the story pretty quickly. Makes me wonder what Helck will find when he goes to where the demon king is.
A whole second backstory episode and it looks like we are getting a third episode next week fully devoted to Helck's backstory. It feels like a lot all at once. The backstory is appreciated as there has been very little of it up until now, but now it is the only thing we are getting at the expense of forward progress in the current time. I wonder what this is like in the source material. Is there just a whole volume of manga devoted to Helck's backstory?
This isn't really an answer, but I spent a lot of time trying different voice chat systems out a couple years back, but couldn't get my social group to move off Discord.
So, the real answer is any that you can convince the people you want to talk with to use. However other options include Mattermost, Jitsi, Mumble, Teamspeak, and Nextcloud Talk off the top of my head. I think I remember seeing that rocket.chat has voice now too.
Haha, it's like you read my mind. To pull off a parody, you need to push everything to 11 and this show just really didn't go far enough in a shameless enough way to pull it off (if it was even meant to be a parody, I still can't tell).
New Eminence was great. This season is off to a great start with some solid anime-original additions that really up the humor in my opinion. As for HiDive, I have gotten so frustrated with their player/apps I often bypass it entirely by sailing the high seas of the internet for HiDive shows.
Good luck on your HBO quest!
It sounds like a great fit for that. However, these kinds of shows you either vibe with or you don't. So, if you aren't feeling it after episode ~3 or so, just move on. Other shows that fit this role for me would be Azumanga Daioh, Farming Life in Another World, Slime 300, How Heavy are the Dumbbells You Lift. I would also make a case that Mushishi, Kino's Journey, and Natsume's Book of Friends are also good at that, but can feature darker storylines in some episodes (they are anthologies).
Yeah, the show was frustrating to me. I actually feel like it could have been good, but the pacing felt way off. You can see a previous rant of mine on an episode discussion thread, but the adaptation's pacing felt super inconsistent. Props for having one of the best little sister characters in a while though.
It has been quite a while since I last watched Bebop, I might be due soon (this season is pretty packed for me though). Earlier this year I went back and rewatched Gundam Wing to see how it held up to the version of it that was in my head from watching it on TV after school. I still think it is a really cool series, but if you try to follow the actual plot it is all over the place (13 year old me just didn't care).
Yeah, sometimes you know right away if a show is going to be good or not. I should have heeded those feelings when I watched Am I Actually the Strongest last season. I got like 10 minutes in and was already kind of tired of it.....then proceeded to watch the whole season. This season I am getting those vibes from The Family Circumstances of the Irregular Witch. I am three episodes in and it hasn't really gotten much better. I am just terrible at dropping a show once I have started.
