    I've been trying to watch more anime recently, so I've been trying a couple things on netflix. Kuroko's Basketball eps 1- 4 or 5 Well I wasn't sure I'd ever bother giving a sports shonen title a watch, but I've finally done it and I've taken my shot on Kuroko. Is this anime generally well...

    Ah yes Chaos (I did actually remember it after I posted, for the record!). He didn't post a super lot so his username wasn't ingrained in memory like some others are.

    What's the deal with Kimetsu no Yaiba/ Demon Slayer, it seems to have completely taken Japan by storm, but is it really something different from the usual shonen fare? Its film is now the highest grossing ever in Japan, which is kind of surprising and especially when you consider that people...

    It's interesting how some people drift away from old internet haunts like this, one day you just notice someone you used to see here everyday hasn't posted in years and I wonder what tide carried them away, but then sometimes they drift back again. Actually I'm just remembering now, the guy who...

    What was the first game you owned?

    Great thread! Whoa, very cool dad, Rui!! My dad liked the idea of gaming and luckily for me he usually insisted on buying the latest consoles, although I was always slightly disappointed his enthusiasm for new games never went far enough to actually get him to play the things once he bought them...

    Rate the last anime you watched out of 10

    I've watched a couple of Netflix gems recently. I find most of the stuff Netflix make to be pretty mediocre on the whole and usually avoid anything with the 'N' in the corner of the title, but these two struck chords in me, Dorehedoro 10/10 I really enjoyed this a lot, it has such an...

    It really is scandalous isn't it, though hardly unexpected from tories. The worst thing of course is how tragically incompetent those companies have been.

    I was having similar thoughts the other day myself too, that these protests wouldn't be happening to this extent if someone slick and more savvy at more or less propagating the status quo (like Obama/Hillary ect) were in power. Trump's evil is just so unambiguous and he's only capable of pouring...

    That sounds great, I definitely do intend to do that, thanks for the suggestion :) I've watched 5 and a half eps of Unicorn so far and have loved it, a great show, it has everything one could want! And the Gundam lore is so rich. Just curious, what's the peak of this kind of robot anime in your...

    Episode 3 of Gundam Unicorn (OVA) That was an absolutely phenomenal episode I thought, a perfect piece of anime really. I'm not ashamed to admit it made me cry,

    What!? It's on 4onDemand?? I never would have checked there (I suppose I should have checked that streaming thread though, I didn't know we had that!), but that's great!! I'll take the OVA as I love those hour long eps!! Thunderbolt sounds great too, thanks people :)

    Jojo's Bizarre adventure 1-19 This show is one of the most enjoyably utterly ridiculous things I've ever seen, with each episode it manages to become more and more preposterous. It's so watchable though. I'm already dreading running out of episodes of it on netflix.

    General anime thoughts/discussion thread.

    Started watching Gundam Unicorn on netflix last night. I had actually completely forgotten I'd watched (I think) most of it years ago (I think on a simulwatch here?), but I can almost remember nothing but vague impressions and I'm pretty sure I got distracted and never actually finished it back...

    This painting of Shakespeare from the 1670s totally looks like it could be the cover of a manga/anime today! Has anyone made a manga about him? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Chesterfield_portrait.jpg

    Indeed those leaks confirm and actually somewhat surpass the grim assumptions I and I think many of us had about the treachery of the 'centre' of the party. That was where the insane delusory fanaticism was all along. There are desperate people in need of saving, but instead of that it was more...

    Jesus that sounds tough, Serpantino. I hope you get settled soon and find something. What awful times these are.

    What's worse in my opinion is how they seemingly didn't bother testing or screening a single person who hopped off a plane from nothern Italy after it had already become a hotspot. Was it sheer laziness or lack of resources? I've still not seen that explained. But it's too late now anyway, it's...

    I hope all these big events do get cancelled to be honest. I know there seems to be a difference of opinion on how to handle this Corona crisis, but I can't help but think it's madly irresponsible to be having these huge crowded events when this virus is spreading like wildfire right now. Our...
