IBO season 2 was more or less the same quality as the first season. If you didn't like the first season, it wouldn't convert you, but if you liked the first you will probably like the second. It's definitely not an 00 or Code Geass season 2 situation. Also, yeah, Re:Rise is pretty good. A bit of a slow start but it all pays off in the end.

That sounds promising. I will check it out.

I will say, the first half of Re:Rise is a real slow burn. Especially since the twist is pretty obvious and you see it coming way before it actually happens. But once it does the show gets great, and the slow burn first half is somewhat justified.

I'll see your mistake and raise you I'm doing the same but only watching one episode a day and not skipping the fillers. I started about this time last year and I'm like 2/3rds of the way through Skypeia.

Bet you're feeling a lot smarter now, aren't you?

E: I may stop doing this when they end up doing the 1:1 chapter episode ratio

I'm really enjoying the early episodes so far, I'll probably switch over to the manga when I get to the point where the pacing becomes unbearable. I think it's somewhere after Skypeia where people generally say it gets really bad?

Animes I never got to experience as a kid: naruto, dbz, one piece, yugioh. Any of those worth watching just for the hell of it, or at least up to a certain point? I was 100% pokemon but I sort of feel like I missed something

Good soup!

DBZ Kai is good and has a good dub if that's your thing

Could never get into Naruto because all the characters look dumb as poo poo and not in a goofy way, just stupid lol

Same with One Piece I guess, the art style doesn't jive with me

Watch DBZ Kai. It's significantly shorter than the original series and better paced. Though you miss some key filler like when goku and piccolo learn to drive or when goku goes to DBZ hell, the home for infinite losers.

YUGIOH is exactly as you imagine it and its also great.

I've started Hunter X Hunter. Thats supposed to be good.

Good soup!

The only bad thing about kai is the final chapters being cropped for widescreen with that weird rear end green tint to everything

The new music is good though - so good that a bunch of songs got reused for Super

The Yugioh manga is great just for the pre-card game chapters where it's about yugi playing air hockey with an ice block on a grill, or drawing flaming mazes with a lighter and hair spray.

The manga is imho the best version as the anime cuts a bunch of important stuff, such as most of the stuff to do with Bakura, but also it's Yugioh you don't have the think about it mch.

The first anime isn't very good but has the best transformation sequence.

I watched naruto as an adult and it was so awesome I immediately watched it again with my wife. The ending arc is pretty crap (and a third of the show) but the first 2/3rds is as good as any shonen anime has been. Watch naruto kai!

Naruto is one of those rare shows that regular non turbonerd Japanese adults without kids will watch. So was Ranma 1/2, somehow.

naruto is actually pretty good at the beginning, you can see why it took off

i do think akira toriyama is a master of the art though so watch or read dragonball

even super is pretty good and shows he's still got it imo.
i love that nerds spent decades working out power level lists and rankings and he comes in and goes "no the most powerful thing is a dog that shoots ki blasts from his feet" or "super saiyan god vegeta is being owned by a tellytubby woman powered by love"

Toriyama never took dragonball that seriously and that is what makes it all so good. He's the master of throwing in poo poo for the hell of it because its cool so why not. A lot like JoJo, now that I think of it

I used to wonder where Dragon Ball is gonna go after the characters get strong enough to tear apart metaphysics easily and all that, but I guess they're pretty much already there. Like the God of all Existence is now a side character, and it even sometimes gets involved to beat the bad guys. I guess they could make just another race of even more tough beings once Goku powers up past all the gods.

People taking power levels super seriously was hilarious from the start since they were kind of always just nonsense. The first real use of them (beyond like, farmer with shotgun: power level 5) was Raditz thinking his scanner was broken because of how strong child Gohan was, followed by Goku and Piccolo having their number go up by taking off their shoes and hat.
