General Anime Discussion (what are you watching now?)

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.
-
My gut feeling tells me that Juushinki Pandora will be bad. But I guess I'll check it out nevertheless.
-
@paulnamida MAL says that Viz has licensed Captain Tsubasa, but it doesn’t seem to be streaming anywhere. Does anyone know why that is? (Also wish David Productions would work on Jojo Part 5 and not some soccer anime, but oh well).
I watched the first episode of the new LOGH yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised. Will be continuing.
Saw the first episode of Real Girl, and idk, it was really awkward, I might drop it.
Of course I’ll be watching MHA, and S;G 0, especially since Steins;Gate is my favorite show of all time. -
Since I've been reading a triangle romance Visual Novel, I decided to also pick up Love and Lies again.
It's decent, though a lot of the romantic backstory for our main characters is silly (Nejima giving Misaki an Eraser as the moment they fell in love; him cooking hot cakes as this super attractive quality to her), but yeah, it's fun, and it still seems unpredictable at this point (besides me thinking the gal who is on the first cover of the sequel manga probably has a leg up).
I did skip one episode, the one where Nejima and his wife candidate Ririna went to some training seminar and were
Don't spoil me, but obviously I'm wondering about Nejima's buddy's sexual identity.
Anything romantic this season that isn't based on an LN? Real Girl seems like it'll be one I'll have to keep track of.
That Pretty Derby seems like the most Moe waste of time, but let me know if anything real develops.
-
@terrence Tada Doesn’t Fall in Love seems like something worth watching, and it’s original. Comes out on HiDive tomorrow I believe.
-
Oh God. Love and Lies anime ending is
-
@terrence Yeah, it's being simulpubbed on MangaBox iirc, they have the latest 2-3 chapters of all their series available for free, then I think you need a subscription to read the backlog.
-
Here's another romance one I might look into.
And maybe Pretty Derby (the equestrian school idol one) will go Yuri? IDK.

I loved the manga of that one. Where is it streaming on? Doesn't seem to be on Crunchyroll, unless I'm region screwed again.
-
I started watching "Hinamatsuri".
I've only read a couple chapters of the manga and studio Feel adapted it quite well.
But man, Crunchyroll took such a slow while to release it. It finally came out subbed in the app at 2:30 AM in the morning.

The first episode of Megalobox was awesome. The aesthetic and animation is very nostalgic and beautiful, and anyone would enjoy it, even if you don’t like boxing. I hadn’t been expecting to follow it going into the season, but I definitely will now.
My only complaint was that the video CrunchyRoll had seemed very blurry or DVD quality, though it seems that might have been deliberate. -
I'm going to watch s-CRY-ed this week I think. I heard a little about how it ends romance wise, so I decided to pick it up to see how it goes.
s-CRY-ed has a light novel too, but I think it's an adaptation? IDK.

...I may watch. I'm guessing it'll end with her falling for her friend's brother... But I'll be rooting for a Yuri route! xD
Other than that, and catching up with the Age Gap Rain one and Scum's Wish, I think I want to watch Engaged to the Unidentified.

I didn’t know about this (been out of anime loop) but it sounds up my alley not due to boxing but because of the nostalgic vibe. Going to look into it!

Amazon seems to have this one. It's streaming overseas in EU territories... But not on US Amazon yet. T.T

No hint of it on Au Amazon, and neither Hidive or Animelab have it either. They usually get all the Amazon stuff. :(

That only used to be a thing for Sentai and Aniplex licenses that were distributed via amazon in US and Canada. Nowadays Amazon (non-JP) simulcast means worldwide Amazon exclusive (which is a mess for some reason).
-
@_08 When you say the Amazon exclusive is a mess for some reason, do they get exclusive rights but then not release it everywhere? Streaming in Eu but not US seems weird as.
-
@smashman42 From what I hear, they frequently forget to upload things in one territory or other (wotakoi must me one of those unintentional "delays"), support is/was so bad Sentai decided to distance itself from them which caused prompt death of Anime Strike. Also, they don't seem do do any advertising which probably doesn't help a lot.
Like, Netflix is pretty bad with its moths-late releases, but at least they seem to do it for a reason (however dumb/questionable reasons may be). Amazon, meanwhile, seems to be running without any thought or proper resources given to it. -
I am certainly happy that My Hero Academia is back on. It was a recap episode but I was ok with that as I’d forgotten many details since season 2 ended.
-
I am happy to see two old favorites with updates this season: Steins;Gate and Full Metal Panic.
