Happy birthday my dude! Hope it’s a good one.

First episode of RoOT is out! I rather enjoyed it. OddTaxi was awesome. I’m looking forward to seeing the story retold in live action

I checked out the first episode of Train to the End of the World (Shuumatsu Train Doko e Iku?) last night. It is a weird anime original. The start is pretty trippy. I was not expecting this much weirdness just from reading the synopsis Weirdness in a good way IMO. I thought it was pretty interesting. Good enough to give it a couple more episodes, anyways.

I finally polished off Pluto last night on Netflix. Eight parts, roughly an hour each. It was really well done. Even if your not a fan of Astro Boy, I think it’s worth a look. Great Teacher Onizuka apparently goes onto Netflix on April 1st. I’m definitely going to re-watch that! GTO is going to be a heavy hit of nostalgia.

Jays win on opening day in Tampa

Happy webday ?

So @Eizan what do you think about the whole Ohtani / interpreter controversy??? I’m very curious to hear Ohtani’s statements today. The stories don’t all add up

Here’s one more I’ll have to add to my watch list. Not sure how I missed it the first time scrolling through the Crunchyroll lineup page! RoOT/Route of OddTaxi. It's live action interpretation of OddTaxi. I liked the trailer. Should be fun.

Frieren #28 — No spoilers, but I’m general this episode felt like a very fitting ending to what I thought was a fantastic series. I loved the story and pretty much the whole cast. Madhouse did incredible work with the animation. I’m sad it’s over.

So far this is what I have on my watch list for spring: KonoSuba: It’s been long enough since the last season that I’m looking forward to seeing these characters in action again. Should be lots of laughs. Kaiju No. 8: I keep saying I’m going to pick up the manga… then I never do it So I will start with the anime and then continue with the manga wherever the anime leaves off. Hibike! Euphonium Season 3: I am SO HYPED for this one! Absolutely loved the first two seasons Bartender: Kami no Glass: Sounds like something I will enjoy. Yoru no Kurage wa Oyogenai (Jellyfish Can’t Swim in the Night): Anime original by Doga Kobo. They’ve done some other originals that I enjoyed quite a bit. Sounds like something I might like based on the vague synopsis. Here’s hoping. I’ll see if anything else be piques my interest on Crunchyroll. TBD.

Done! Let the Winter 2024 season discussion continue — but let’s also look ahead to Spring. Here are some of the usual links: MAL Spring 2024 AniChart Spring 2024 Crunchyroll Spring 2024 lineup What are we all looking forward to this spring?

I have a Discord account that I never use due to a strong preference (and, let’s be honest, emotional attachment) for forums and IRC over Discord Maybe someday I’ll get over it and join the Center Discord… edit: Having said all that, it’s never too late to come back to the boards @Lucy ! Come acknowledge our birthday wishes

Starting to look ahead to the Spring season. There is some good stuff coming up! Rather than make a new thread for each season, I was thinking of renaming this one to “2024 Seasonal Anime” and just have one thread for the year. Any objections from you three?

LAST VISITED November 20, 2022 Happy birthday anyhow!

Only one episode left of Frieren. I’m gonna be so bummed out when it ends next weekend

Happy belated barfday Shade

I’ve been enjoying Metallic Rouge a lot too. Lots of twists and turns to this story. I’ve found it hard to follow at times watching weekly. It will be a great binge-watch show once all 13 episodes are done. The mimic gag never gets old in Frieren

Yeah the first “half” of the series was a bit longer than usual. IIRC four episodes dropped all at once at the start of the Fall season. Not that I am complaining—I want more!

Wow these seasonal threads are getting quiet Anybody else watching A Sign of Affection? It’s very heart-warming and charming

Yeah I’m super curious about Shin’s apparent new technique in Sakamoto Days. Mind control??? Unless those last few panels were just a misdirection and it has nothing to do with Shin—that would be pretty fun I totally agree re: the last chapter of Akane-banashi. What a beautiful thing. If Taizen doesn’t acknowledge that performance then I’m gonna be mega bummed out.

You’ve gotta get caught up on some of this stuff @Psycho666Soldier There has been lots of excitement in Sakamoto Days and Elusive Samurai. Akane just finished a thrilling performance in Akane-banashi. The latest Show-ha Shoten! continued Nazutani’s storyline in a really nice way. Beat & Motion is still awesome. Lots of good stuff in Jump right now! Not sure if you kept up with Choujin X but that series has been on a great roll for a while now too.

I don’t own anything that could play it Is it good? IIRC you enjoyed the first installment of the remake? How does Rebirth compare?
