All Activity

I started the One Piece anime way back when, and then moved to the manga and never looked back. The filler episodes and arcs the anime adds always rubs me the wrong way. Was the same with Bleach and Naruto back in the day. Nowadays series can get away with not having to be on every week and can take tine off if need be.

I've been keeping up with a couple series... But there have been so many series come out that I have been reading the manga... And the Anime version does a piss poor job of it. The one I am looking forward to is coming next Month: PSYREN. Read that manga thanks to NA release of Shonen Jump. 19 years after it started and 16 years after it ended, they are making an anime of it. I REALLY hope they don't screw it up. Since there is no light novel version or anything, it is based on the manga, so hopefully it will be what I want it to be. But as for what I am watching right now... Oddly, all of these were manga I started reading that have now been turned into anime. Some for the better, and some not. There are a few more series I had been reading the comics of at one point... But the Anime's quality was not nearly good enough, so I am not ruining my thoughts of the series with watching the trash animation. Tensei ****ara Slime Datta Ken 4th Season / That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season - The anime has caught up with the manga again, but of course, as mentioned, it is based on light novels so there is more to work off of... But the Anime has largely been following the aesthetic of the manga. One of those that has been doing a good job of it. I never read the novels, so any changes doesn't bother me much. Gaikotsu Kishi-sama, Tadaima Isekai e Odekakechuu / Skeleton Knight in Another World Season - Another fun isekai fantasy story. Can be a dime a dozen, but this one has some fun characters and a decent enough premise that also skips some of the worst isekai tropes. The main character is so OP... and yet not at the same time, in some funny ways. Katainaka no Ossan, Kensei ni Naru / From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman - This one has been following the light novels a bit more than the manga, but not as bad as some. Really good action. They do take the "Sword master" fact of the title pretty seriously. Tsuihou sareta Tensei Juukishi wa Game Chishiki de Musou suru / The Exiled Heavy Knight Knows How to Game the System - This one has been doing a good job of following the manga overall, and has decent production values. Another Isekai with some good ideas on how things are handled. Ryoumin 0-nin Start no Henkyou Ryoushu-sama / The Frontier Lord Begins with Zero Subjects - Another manga I started reading a while back. Been done pretty well. It's a fun little wholesome series.

To live is to fight. To fight is to live.

Funny enough, as a One Piece fan myself, I've never watched the anime (so I guess I can't call myself a true fan 😅). I've been reading the manga and have not once seen the anime. I guess having a thousand plus episodes is a big factor as to why. Back then it was still only 200+ episodes. heck, I even started reading One Piece when it was still in the 400+ chapters. Interesting about Dr. Stone, I watched the first 2 seasons, but wasn't able to start the 3rd season, and I've resisted reading the Manga. It was all interesting before the Tsukasa arc, but I guess I didn't get the same excitement to me afterwards. Jojo anime left me really disappointed. The best one was still the stardust crusaders arc, and those that followed are just "meh" to me. I've read the manga and really loved it until Stone Ocean and was really left disappointed with its ending. Then came the decision to make the Steel Ball Run universe fold into the Jojo-verse, which confused the hell out of me. After that I completely stopped with Jojo.

Not much on my list right now. Just ongoing One Piece and Bleach. Waiting for the second part of the Steel Ball Run: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Just finished Dr. Stone and I really like it. Despite some of the character's decisions were strange or unnecessary, and I always had a feeling of giant plot holes everywhere, it was super enjoyable and fun ride till the very end, 10/10. The thing is, when I stumbled upon this title on some torrent tracker for the first time, I thought that this was some mid tier filler anime. Was judging just by the title name and cover art lmao, didn't even read. But year later one of the blogger made a short description of events and almost spoiled it. And somehow just about 5 seconds deep into their review I stopped and they made it a "must watch" for me.

Ok, I'm bored so I'm going to update my list. Currently, the Anime I'm waiting on are the following: Mushoku Tensei S3 - Definitely a must watch. Even though I finished the Novel, its still enjoyable watching this fully animated Tensura S4 - One of the web novels I've earlier read. Stories are starting to branch and I don't know what to expect. Re:Zero S4 - Haven't read the novels so this is one of the anticipated watch Bleach TYBW - Despite having a manga finished a decade ago, the anime introduced new material which was freaking awesome. This is definitely a redemption from the rushed manga ending. Exiled Heavy Knight - one of the newer shows I'm watching, mainly because of tiktok and youtube shorts Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman S2 - Another fun series for me. I am looking forward to the reboot of Magic Knight Rayearth, it was one of the best 90's anime I've ever watched. And of course being a Gundam Fan, how could I miss the upcoming Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-Zero. Speaking of Gundam, I was kinda sad that they took down the 1:1 scale Unicorn Gundam in Odaiba Japan.

Well, that's something to talk about. That would be much preferable than the deafening silence. 😅

Nothing much, just passing by feeling nostalgic, I have been thinking of starting my old guyver fan game from scratch and post it on the forum for progress reports for fun.

Let them fight.

Such a sad day! A lot of celebrities seem to be passing away recently. There was Dolly Parton, then Tim Curry, and now Peter Cullen.

I didn't want to believe it either...

Oh **** off. 'Till All Are One

Peter Cullen Dead: 'Transformers' Optimus Prime Voice Was 85 'Till All Are One.

Hey, those are both really cool! How is the art print? I remember the item listing saying it was a special kind of reproduction that reproduced some of the texture of the original drawing. Was it true? Does it have a bit of a tactile feel to it?

I also got this 1:1 Guyver1 sofubi...

Hi all! Check this one out. I got one of the JFrame pics of Guyver1 from goodsmile. #3/50! It's really quite amazing!!

Let's f***in' go.

Hey Odin, what's up with you?

Welcome back odin! Still been pretty active here. Gotta keep the spirit alive, right?

It's been years since I have been here, I wanted to see if my login still worked and say hi and perhaps discuss guyver again now that we are seeing more needed exposure from the series, nice to see you all again.
