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

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...

So I have just finished watching Prison School, it's on Crunchyroll but you will probably need a VPN to watch it there, also it will be heavily censored as this one pretty much verges on being a Hentai.

It's all about an all girls school becoming coed and the first 5 boys to go there are caught trying to spy on the girls in the girls changing room, and for a punishment they are sent to the schools prison.

While there is no sex per se, there is a lot of sexual content. one of the main story lines concerns golden showers, you know the thing that supposedly Trump enjoys.

There is a lot of S&M and female domination, with whipping and spankings. While there is more than a few nip slips.

So if you are still reading this, for a warning you really should not watch this one at work, mind you you shouldn't be watching anime at work anyway. Also don't watch it in front of the kids, not unless you want some awkward and really hard to answer question thrown at you, but then again you shouldn't be allowing your kids to watch this kind of anime in the first place.

If you are an adult though it is good fun, with more than a few laughs thrown in to enjoy. Just remember it's better to watch the uncensored version if you can get it.

Got another one for you all, once again something different rather than an American or Japanese Manga, how about a Chinese Manga. Only watched the first Episode so far, but it seems to be okay. So it's called Quan Zhi Gao Shou or in English, The Kings Avatar, and you can watch it on YouTube from an old adversary of mines, had dealings with them before, didn't work out too good for me. There are other better versions of it out there, but the TencentVideo 腾讯视频 YouTube version is legal, or at least should be, has a few adverts for Chinese stuff. By the way it's just the first ten videos, I take it they will release more as they are publicly released, as I know there are 11 videos out there right now.

Or if you would prefer to read the story in English rather that watching the video's, just head over to gravitytales as it seems they have translated the story into English.

For a better review than I can do on the show, head over to here. Need to ask how he did it without getting the video deleted, mind you he does hint that, that has happened before.

*blowing the dust off the topic*

i wonder why no one has done this in the last three weeks? an amazing Season has begun because we finally can see the contuniation of Full Metal Panic

and so far its really promising

In Addition i also recommend Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu / Legend of Galactic Heroes - Die Neue These
I have watched the original 110-Episode Series and this Remake is so far very promising - so i can clearly recommend it for everyone who finds the old one not s visually pleasing. ..

When I was younger (talking about 10 years younger) I pride myself as someone who watch pretty much any series that comes out.

These days though, I filtered out most things with one of these tags:

- Harem: because they're usually inconclusive.
- Love Polygon: usually because the protag is an idiot, and more often than not everyone involved are idiots.
- Tragedy: when it's done like Basilisk or Fate I like, but usually it's just tragedy because the writer don't know a better way to make an impact at the end.

Also while I enjoyed shows like Harusi or K-on back when they were out, I don't find myself like watching stuffs like that any more.

With these filter in place I find my supply of available shows has been cut down drastically, in fact filter out the Harem tag alone seem to cut the # of tittle down by 50% almost. I think the last 3 shows I enjoyed are:

- Roku de Nashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records
- Gate Jieitai Kanochi nite Kaku Tatakaeri
- Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei

About the new FullmetalPanic. I'll watch it once the full season is out, that has always been my way of watching anime. Tried to watch as they come out before and don't like the experience. Gotta say though, I hope they do it like the first one or Fumoffu, FMP2 was a train wreck for me.

Not sure if I am ready for Legend of the Galactic Heroes yet. Don't really have the time to watch such a long series.

Full Metal Panic ist still on the list but I haven't seen it yet.

But I would like a moment about the show I am currently watching. Made in Abyss. It is insanely good. A true adventure set in a world full of wonder and danger. It has been a long time since I have been so interested in getting to see more of a new world and it really brought back memories to the old Indiana Jones movies with it's sense of exploring the unknown.

Attack on Titan Season 3 is underway, first three Episodes out for Crunchyroll subscribers, or first two episodes for free watchers.

I tried to find out what's hot coming out of Japan the other day and and WTF? Most of the sites were now blocked on their end on my browsers!

I think Japan is getting touchy about copyright or something.

Any sites there that are still up that you'd recommend?

felter · Post by **felter** » Thu, 9. Aug 18, 16:33

Crunchyroll works fine here in the UK, must just be America, maybe Trump has put a tariff on the anime coming out of Japan.

The only real problem with Crunchyroll, is that they are still using a flash player.

Antilogic · Post by **Antilogic** » Thu, 9. Aug 18, 16:45

Crunchyrolls player is awful.

I don't watch much anime, mostly just RWBY (11/10, outstanding) but I've been watching a few more recently. YuruYuri and Konosuba. Konosuba is really fun so far but gods I do understand why Japan has a sexual harassment problem when the show has no issues showing the main character having an ability that steals girls underwear with no consequences. Including when one of the girls (Megumin) seems to be about 13, is very much treated as underage by the rest of the cast anyway (banning her from drinking for example).

Not saying anime is the cause of the problem, but when anime is very relaxed about showing how poorly it's main characters treat women it's a demonstration of how their culture acts towards them in general.

It's frustrating because Konosuba is otherwise really fun. I love Aqua's useless fun, Megumin's epic outfit and sheer joy at destroying everything in sight every day. Darkness....yeah. Not a fan. I don't mind the trope of the masochist, but she has no other defining characteristics (7 episodes in) so far so very boring right now. Hate the main char, don't recall the name. If the show didn't trot him out to enact fanservice at the expense of every nearby girl every few episodes might warm to him more. The plotlines and the overall story is silly and fun.

Set there for five minutes and then 404.
However that's been happening a lot lately with sites in S. Korea too so the problem might be the satellites are getting overtaxed again.
