As someone who has been watching RWBY for years I can also reiterate felters points about it being great.

Just notice that Netflix has GANTZ: O on it. Not watched it yet as I have been watching the original and still have a couple of episodes to go, but I did start to watch it and it's all done in CGI, and it looks pretty damn awesome. If it's half as good as the original, it will be worth watching.

I don't know if anyone is watching KONOSUBA this season, but if you're not, you really should be. Its honestly one of the best comedy anime I've ever seen, and probably comedies in general for that matter.

The only thing it is not the English dubbed version, I know but my brain wanders right now and I can't keep up with the reading of the subs, so I prefer dubbed versions nowadays, older age and the drugs I'm currently on.

Sounded dubbed to me, unless I can understand Japanese. In the UK it's only 4 episodes - don't know if there are more to come.

It is just 4 episodes. The preview for it was not in English, this is why I thought the release was also not going to be in English, but as you pointed out it is, so YAY for that.

I think season 1 was brought up some pages ago. Certainly gonna watch season 2 once all episodes are out (btw good that you remind me to look up when that will be.)

If Anime Descriptions Were Accurate

So I have started watching the second series of Blue Exorcist, and it doesn't make any sense. It turns out they have kind of ignored the last 8 episodes from the first series, they never happened. So if you watched all the 25 episodes from the first series, and then start watching the second series, you are left scratching your head, as it does not make any sense. But if you just watch up to and include episode 17, of the first series, and then start watching the second series, it makes sense. It wouldn't be so bad if they somehow explained this, but they do not explain any of it, you have to work it out for yourself, or go onto the internet like I did.

Apart from that it seems to be okay. Hasn't been dubbed into English yet, so subtitles are the way to go, but as I said so far it seems to be okay, but only watched the first 3 episodes so far. Mind you I now have a bold spot from scratching my head.

Sounds like its following the manga from where they parted rather than continuing with the ending that the anime had. The manga is still ongoing.

This is just my guess, not looked it up at all.

I never knew that there was a highlander manga film, it's called Highlander The Search for Vengeance and I found it on youtube.

felter · Post by **felter** » Fri, 17. Mar 17, 18:14

Been watching Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, its pretty funny. It's all about a young female Japanese computer programmer, who gets drunk and ends up in the mountains somehow, and saves a dragon, not sure on how she does that one either. Anyway, it turns out that Dragons can take human form, and this Dragon is so infatuated with Miss Kobayashi, she decides to become here maid. There is a quite a bit of sexual references and as both Miss Kobayashi and Tohru (the Dragons name) are both female characters, you can see where some of these are going. While there is no sex in the show itself and lesbianism is not directly mentioned, it is hinted upon. It is quite good and worth a watch.

Probably the second best Highlander film of the lot, possibly third depending on how you view Highlander 3.

Yeah its a pretty good show and the fanservice is shamelessly obvious while not going overboard... in most cases *cough* Lucoa *cough*.

I also quite enjoy the dragon maid. The fanservice is not bad really, its part of the joke. It is 'D' for dragon after all.

Ok so I have started (and almost finished) Claymore. It is one of the best shows I have seen in quite some time, but the first two or three episodes are so unbelievably bad compared to the rest that I almost stopped watching. How the managed to have sutch a bad start for an otherwise really good show is beyond me.

May as well put this here too - if you like your fav anime music, then check out Youtube for some very talented piano players...

Discovered a new one and this one is definitely not suitable for the younger audience I'm not even sure I would allow a fourteen year old to watch it. It's called Seven Mortal sins and it's all about a fallen angel called Lucifer fighting the seven mortal sins. Just that doesn't make it sound bad but it is full of sex if you are watching it on Crunchyroll or funimation very quickly you will notice that it has been censored, but there is uncensored version out there. The other thing, it seems to all be large breasted female characters, there are males, but they are in the background and so far they don't seem to play any major roles in the storyline. Remember I did mention it is full of sex, so I'll let you work out just what is going on there, a clue though, remember the two words, female and sex. If your a prude watch the censored version, or better still don't watch it at all. If your not, then look out the uncensored version it so much better, or wait till funimation gets the uncensored version, but you will need a full account with them to watch it then.

Koe no Katachi, a real tear-jerker but a good and powerful one.

It should be shown in schools, shows the effect bullying can have quite realistically...
