Finally, i convinced myself to watch Golden Kamuy Season 1. As a result, i also watched Season 2 too, both within 2 days each. For me its a real gem of an anime. On the one hand i could slap myself, that i didnt watch it earlier, on the other hand i'm really thankful, that i didnt have to wait for season 2 and even for the most part of season 3 due to this fact. i would recommend it to anyone who didnt watch it yet. The characters and the story are pretty unique and almost all of the characters (also the bad guys) are likeable.

ps: you shouldnt mind the ultra-low-budget-cgi-bears of season 1 when watching it, just look out of a window when they show up so you dont get affected by them... hmmmmmm, bear brain, hinna hinna

So...I had been looking forward to the Netflix Blood of Zeus anime...and the reviews I've seen have been glowing...but I think I hated it? It's probably the most boring and pedestrian take on Greek myth I've ever seen, the MC is unbearable, and the plot is...oof. Predictable is an understatement. The music (when it isn't being shafted by poor sound mixing) and art were good enough I suppose.

I dunno, curious about other people's thoughts, especially given the reviews I've seen. As far as story and characters go I think I liked it even less than Dragon's Dogma (though I think I rate that higher than most people because I just played the game and didn't really enjoy the plot nearly as much as others seemed to). Netflix's anime division really seems to think that gore is all it takes to make a compelling "adult" anime...

Edit: Also, I thought it might be my crappy Wifi or Netflix, but this has horrible awful no good very bad framerates to the point where I wasn't sure if it was intentional or not. Especially noticeable in fight scenes.

Is it just me or is this next season just full of second or third seasons? Shingeki, Slime, Neverland, Dr. Stone, ReZero, 5-toubon, Log Horizon, World Trigger etc... I can't recall seeing an anime season this stacked for a long long time.


I watched the first season and got through halfway through the second or so but can't remember why I stopped watching it. Think it's one of those anime where binge watching it is great. How's the third season? Does it conclude the story? I was at the part where + Show Spoiler +

There's always a ton of sequels. Sequels sell, especially for things already proven to be popular.

Golden Kamuy is my favorite show of the season by far. It took them three seasons to get here, but the art is finally good and consistent. Gone are the nightmare days of CG bears. All the episodes in S3 have been great, whether they're self-contained stories or part of the larger narrative. Golden Kamuy flipflops between crass comedy and serious moments, and somehow manages to nail the tone of both (moreso than another anime that shall not be named). Probably helps that half the cast is batshit insane, a hardened soldier, or both. When the show wants to be good, it delivers.



And no, it's not over yet. The manga is probably ending sometime in the next year though.

Spazer answered it in a way that i couldnt do any better i guess (i'm a bit drunk, maybe this sentence doesnt make sense at all, hehe). However the 3rd season was great as well (a slightly bit worse than season 2, but still my favorite show of this season). as i said earlier i would recommend it to anyone who likes a good/unique story and really special characters. the comedy is getting better with every season as well imo. i had to laugh quite a lot this time - and i mean i really laughed in front of my laptop while sitting there all alone, which doesnt happen too often.

and yeah, the next season is horrible... because i wont have much time for my real life due to the fact that i probably will watch 10-12 animes, urgh cant remember such an upcoming season

You have to watch all gintama. It builds upon itself. Not even the movies give you a clear picture of what's going on (except the first).

I've always recommended Gintama but it is a commitment. Not for everyone.
