Bump! Any anime fans still around? This was probably the year I saw the most series. I enjoyed watching some lighter stuff during lockdown, including a few musical ones. Your Lie in April was excellent even if a bit predictable. Kono Oto Tomare has a good story but I didn't connect with most characters. I'm currently watching Sound! Euphonium and I was very surprised to hear a marching band rendition of YMO:

I've been watching Himouto Umaru-Chan lately, which is hilarious. I've also been watching Pop Team Epic and I like that too but not as much as Umaru Chan. Also while Pop Team Epic is good IMHO it is a little overrated to me because of the second half of each episode being hardly different from the first half.

I have so much anime on my plate before I get around to watching it, but it's one I'm going to check out, eventually.

That's been on my radar for a while now. Is the second season no good? |

Not the biggest fan, but Tokyo Ghoul was pretty good. The first season, anyway.

^I'll probably get around to them next week sometime. I've read good and bad about MS, so we'll see. The cyberpunk setting is really what drew me in, initially.
I went on a bit of a BR/DVD buying binge again a few days ago and ordered Ergo Proxy (BR), Parasyte (BR), Un-Go (BR), Solty Rei (DVD) and Ghost Hunt (DVD).

Mardock Scramble? I think I've seen that one (on the big screen) and, if I'm not mistaking with another movie I saw on the same evening, it's... a bit extravagant for my taste.

Been awhile since anyone posted in this thread.
Anyway, I've watched a few more series in the past couple of months and have a few more on the way. I watched Gungrave, Robotics;Notes, and currently watching Jormungand. Gungrave was surprisingly decent, although nothing crazy special about it. Just a good crime anime. RN was a bit disappointing as I read that it was a pretty good mystery anime and what was revealed was kind of lame. Not terrible, but not great. Jormungand is fan-freaking-tastic, so far. Excellent gun anime in a similar vein to Black Lagoon and in ways to Stand Alone Complex (the whole team aspect). After I finish that, I ordered Heat Guy J, Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo, and the Mardock Scramble movie trilogy. I pretty much dove head first with these choices without much prior knowledge of them. I watched trailers for all three and they each seemed pretty interesting, so I figured what the hell.

^I'd love for Monster to get a decent release on this side of the Pacific. And on that note, Funimation is finally giving both seasons of Code Geass and Ergo Proxy blu ray releases this fall. Time to replace my dvd copies now...

Yeah, Monster is a good show. I watched it many years ago and really enjoyed it.

I finished Monster yesterday, and rated it 10/10 on MAL. Complex plot, amazing characters (and lots of them), no fillers and very entertaining. It really didn't seem like 74 episodes long.

The Psycho Pass movie was damn good and picked up sometime after the second season, although I doubt this will be the end of the franchise because this wasn't really any kind of a climax or anything to the story. There's still plenty that could be done with it.
And I'm starting to venture into the Ghibli Studio movies now, having ordered Castle In The Sky and Nausicaa. I'm picking up My Neighbor Totoro today and I already have Princess Mononoke, which is one of the best movies I've ever seen, anime or not. |

1. They would agree with you, but it's just that they do NOT want any pieces of sh*t that are a part of the franchise...which they think the second season is, so... 2. Also, I only got into 10 episodes of Samurai Champloo and NOTHING from Cowboy Bebop (despite actually owning the damn series LOL). I've enjoyed what I saw of the former, though I may need a redo to refresh myself and whatnot, especially because I was THAT lazy back in the winter of this year.

And I don't understand that, because I think it's a great addition to the franchise. I'm re-watching both Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bebop and I'm reminded how awesome Watanabe is. The characters, atmospheres, settings, music, etc. All perfect. The voice of Steven Blum always helps, too. |

Don't know if this has been said but Mushi-shi is fantastic. Basically the progressive rock equivalent to anime.
