Assuming you mean the Funimation dub, probably, but I should warn you that the anime's pacing gets really awful starting around the Impel Down arc; you'll probably want to switch to the manga at that point. Personally, I prefer the manga version from chapter 1.

Apparently that's 430 episodes in so I'm fine with that. I'm not enough of a nerd (:rolleye:) to spend money on some sort of weird book anime

I've long been fascinated with how the alt-right develops elaborate and obscure dog whistles to try to communicate their meaning without having to say it out loud
Stepan Andreyevich Bandera being the most prominent example of that

Is baccano not a japanese word? I usually just assume anime names are japanese words.

Isn't that the shounen thing that started airing earlier this year? Exiled princess goes around looking for the 7 deadly sins, which is just a group of badasses?

If it's that, I remember enjoying the first few episodes despite the boob-grabbing comedy, but I didn't watch past that.

To be honest, It's only good as fodder for music videos because there's some neat action animation and nice BGM. Otherwise...I wouldn't really recommend it for any reason. In fact, I'd probably suggest staying away. Among other problems, which would take too long to list, the main character and his love interest alternated between uninteresting and annoying.

Because for some reason kissmanga stopped sending out new chapter notifications for everything, I've been checking the recently-updated bar for series I read on the regular. Some of the other series listed there have absolutely amazing plot summaries attached to them.

quote:

Ryuma no Gagou - In a world where humanity has turned into prey against the so called "white skin" creatures, one legendary figure known simply as "Ryuma" continues to give hope to this post-apocalyptic society. This individual has many faces and descriptions, but his/her legend has lived continuously in the hearts and minds of the people for half a century. No one knows where this legend started or who started it. Here starts a chronicle to unveil the mysteries of a legend.

quote:

Yuri na Watashi to Akuma na Kanojo - As a child, Yashiro Nonoyama developed an intense fear of men due to boys constantly bullying her. Now in high school, she dreams of being reunited with her first love: a girl who protected her one day from her bullies. Yashiro is in disbelief when a transfer student named Mikoto Saionji arrives who looks a lot like her first love, but she later discovers that Mikoto is actually a guy, and that he was her first love. Yashiro learns that Mikoto is rapidly turning into a girl, and the only way to counteract this change is for them to passionately make out with each other every day.

I don't know anything about these series but these descriptions are something else.

Someone should have just told the Ryuma people to play a bunch of loud ethnic music. Proven method to scare off white people.

i watched four first episodes today. ping pong was so-so, felt oddly restrained considering who is behind it. amagi brilliant park was also so-so, i think i need to give it another episode. tiger and bunny was pretty cool and i'll watch more of it but the overuse of CG is distracting. steins;gate is real cool cause the characters are loving idiots

e: watched moribito ep 1 and it's not bad, interesting protagonist

Ping Pongs a pretty slow burn but is also a very straight adaption so it doesnt get as wild as yuasa can be with his original stuff.

Finished pluto.

The world setting was fantastic and about 2/3 of it was really engaging but I feel like it pulled a death note where the best character dies and it's all downhill from there. Gesicht was by far the most interesting character of the series and funny enough the titular character was one of the least interesting. I assume this was some sort of pseudo remake of astro boy but everything about atom's super robot-style revival felt hokey and a bit out of place. The ending was like all the other works by urasawa I've read(monster, 20th century boys) where they excel at beginnings and middles but flounder at the finish line.

A decent series overall, a lot of enjoyable and creative writing choices, but not really a work of art.

The stay puft marshmallow man being the world-ending superweapon was hilarious though.
