The General Anime Thread!

I've been reading Kowloon's manga for years now, so that was one of my most anticipated shows for the season. It's been really good... but they're going through the adaption at a breakneck pace, sometimes a volume per episode. Apparently, it's going to have an original ending, so we're only getting 13 episodes.

It's one of those manga where every other chapter leaves me going "what the fuck" in the best way possible.

I've been enjoying Food Wars anime', where high schoolers cook better than seasoned chefs and can call on knowledge of any culture's food to win battles... I read the manga first.

Did we have a thread for the live action One Piece? I've searched several times when news about the new season has come out, but nothing is coming up for it.

Pulling some old stuff off the shelf that I haven't seen since I first bought it - watching Coyote Ragtime Show right now.

The last couple seasons of Food Wars were so disappointing because it gets really weird and nonsensical at points.

The manga went there, too with fighting dark or mafia chefs. I'm on Ep 6 (the summer camp ep) of the anime'. I liked the foodgasms (food that tastes so good it makes your clothing explode off your body) animations, they're funny as hell.

Finally getting into Ergo Proxy after an interrupted attempt some time ago. Four episodes in and I really like the look of the show, but they certainly don’t go out of their way to explain what’s going on half the time. Looks like it’ll be an experience, at least.

The Animation Budget is all over the place for that show.

You can immediately tell when they lost budget or had to cut back and where they spent it.

I'm looking at my watch list for the summer 2025 season that starts next month and I'm kicking myself. Somehow, I've got fourteen shows on it, which is the most I've ever had in one season. I have no idea how in the hell I'm gonna be able to keep up with that many shows.

My Saturdays are gonna be stacked with three shows from CloverWorks - Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus, My Dress-Up Darling Season 2, and The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity. One helluva slate for romance fans.

I've never gotten around to watching Angel Links - it was never a part of Toonami's programming back in the early 00's when I first got into anime through shows like Outlaw Star.

Hazanko is my favorite anime villain of all time.

Just saw an announcement this morning that Sunrise is making a surprise sequel - not a reboot - to Samurai Troopers/Ronin Warriors. It’ll air January, 2026.

Ronin Warriors was my very first anime, way back in 1996 when Sci-fi Channel aired the English dub. I’m fucking stoked to see whatever Sunrise is gonna do with it!
