General Anime Discussion (what are you watching now?)

I watched Darling in the Franxx tonight. Visually, I thought I was watching Grimgar. With the long pink hair, Zero Two does resemble Yuno Gasai a little. Not quite as yandere though.

I'm watching Inari Kon Kon's festival episode.
I'm up to the 2nd part of the beach vacation trip in Inari Kon Kon...
This Ship is sailing on one side. Let's hope the other side doesn't sink it! xP
If you like anime with shipping, this seems to be a very good one. Plus, it's got the fun transformation magical girl thing to spice up the small town + shrine setting.
Edit: Done. Ahhh, that ending sucked. I think it was anime original. Apparently the manga continued to 2015, while the anime and OVA were 2014. I might have to figure out which volumes continue the story past the anime and get those on Bookwalker (they aren't available in English). T.T

@paul-nebeling hands down my favorite anime of the season, trigger always make some nice originals. I also like Kokoku and it has my personal favorite OP of the season. It’s so catchy. Reason why Devil Man Crybaby isn’t mentioned for me cuz it’s in a weird postion since it all came out at once but it was phenomenal good.
-
@hyferzftw Best part is that it's a two cour season. I was surprised to see who is voicing Zero Two.
-
@paul-nebeling yeah I know.
-
@terrence FYI, the anime for Inari Kon Kon adapted only a bit of the story, though it did seemed like it had plans to go further. I finished the anime and haven't finished the manga either, but I was really surprised to know the original manga was actually on the seinen side rather than shoujo.
Anyway, I'm a stressed working(?) adult. So maybe that's why I've been looking forward to Pop Team Epic and Darling in the Franxx most lately. I keep track of Death March, since I enjoy the novels too.
Other than those, I've been watching old episodes of Gundam Wing on Gundaminfo's YT channel. Watching it from the perspective of an adult surprisingly gives it some new appreciation.

I've been spoiling Darling by watching clips of it without actually watching the show proper. I think I need to stay offline for a bit to avoid the temptation, then do a catch-up.
I am watching Pop Team Epic... But I don't get "it" a lot of the time (even after someone explaining the references).
-
@terrence I've tried watching Pop Team Epic. I can see the appeal, but alas, the humor didn't catch my interest.
-
@paul-nebeling @Terrence I'd really like to give you guys some advice on how to enjoy Pop Team Epic, but alas, I have no idea too. Maybe I'm just needing a weekly dose of weirdness lately.

Like, I love Nichijou, though that did also have some romantic stuff in the background too between Gundere and Mio's Crush, and the two sensei, which may have made it easier to keep me going.

I went to the movie theater last night for Ponyo.
I really love the animation in this one (and the Joe Hasishi music, especially the opening theme that plays with the Jellyfish scene). Bubbles, Jellyfish, ocean waves, man, those are my favorite things to see in animation.
The run time is like 1 HR and 44 Min, but it feels much shorter to me. The only part that really drags / I don't like is the "Milk" scene (I'm guessing there's some deeper meaning to Ponyo's quizzical expressions towards the woman and her child, like her learning about humanity, but those characters overall are pretty insignificant and not worth wasting time on). The ending is a bit quick. I would have liked to have seen
Why does Sosuke call his mom Lisa? Is that normal in Japan? Iirc, Ponyo calls her mom "Kassan / O'Kassan" for mother. The person I went with was curious about that.
Theatre was fairly empty. I hope the other showings get more foot traffic (it was a a Monday night).

Adult Swim tonight is all Japanese audio with English subtitles...
Honestly, I'd take this joke any day of the week. =P
They showed the first of the new FLCL. Now they're showing Mind Game.
Edit: Anyone know if there will be an easy way to catch up with this stuff tomorrow online? I guess I can set some recordings before bed.
-
Darling in the FranXX (mostly for the not-garbage mechas).
-
@galactuskahn24 Watching that too. Starting to get really interesting.
-
Damn. It's a new season already.
Do we need to make a new anime thread?I'm kinda happy since there are a couple of new mecha series.
-
I feel like I need to start Steins;Gate Zero again to stay ahead of anime spoilers. T.T
-
I remember I use to not like mecha. Now it’s probably one of my favorite genres for anime.
-
@paul-nebeling especially that last episode.
-
I just went down a nostalgia trip with Captain Tsubasa, I feel like a 4 year old. And I'm loving it!
-
Finished season 2 of Overlord today and started the new LoGH. I'll be surprised if this one doesn't turn out being my favorite of the spring season shows. Also planning on watching Cutie Honey Universe, Doreiku, and SAO:GGO.
