I gave up trying to be truly bilingual after a year of Latin class in Highschool. It was the different tenses that did me in I think.

You were doomed the moment you chose Latin, a dead language nobody speaks in day to day conversations.

So I only ever watched the original Naruto and by the end was so over the crappy animation and hours of filler episodes that I never started shippuden

Because of lockdown I’ve been playing lots of video games and I bought the naruto trilogy games

I am now experiencing shippuden only through the video games. It’s not bad this way! Fights look better, everything is super condensed, I still get to see these characters from 15 years ago interacting without 30 episodes of stuff

The games themselves are pretty fun too.

You were supposed to skip from ep 135 to 220, then go into shippuden, but yeah shippuden itself is loaded with bloat throughout, especially in the later half, so the games work as a better experience

Was the Kakegurui anime well liked or received? I understand it has two seasons and I just started watching the first and it is far out

If you're watching it for the animation and characters, it's good, but if what you want is good gambling there are better options such as Kaiji.

Yeah that's why I unsubbed from them years ago, also they shortly after did a fake out "this is the end of the channel" thing, and that felt like s good, natural stopping point to never watch their stuff again, even if it meant that I was missing out on some gold here and there.

Don't doxx me!!!

But for real, some of that sounds similar to my trajectory into anime fandom. As a kid I saw a bunch of Anime on Cartoon Network, FoxKids, and KidsWB, things like Pokemon, Digimon, Yugioh, Flint the Time Detective, Dragonball Z, etc. I wasn't really consciously aware of what anime was until like 2004, when I was in 6th grade, but I had noticed and was attracted to the artstyle.

About 2005-6 was when I started to seek out anime, with the first thing that I found outside of cable television being airings of Vandread on some sort of Satelite channel that we only got on the big TV in the living room, so I'd have to sneak out to watch it late on school nights with low volume to avoid waking my parents and making them think I was watching softcore porn on HBO.

I continued watching anime here and there into high school, and found SA around that time. Oddly enough though, I rarely paid attention to ADTRW, only checking it out on a rare occasion and mostly read LP. I wasn't clued into the classics or what was going on each season-I basically just caught what was mainstream popular at the time or what random shows I managed to stumble upon by accident. There was a sort of magic to that sort of exploration, stumbling upon YouTube 3 part rips of Abenobashi Shopping Arcade, Nerima Daikon Bros, Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu, future episodes of Naruto that haven't aired in the states yet, and even straight up porn like Bible Black.

Anyways, tying back to the original question, I accidentally followed my first seasonal anime with Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt in the fall of 2010, when I just happened to be recommended the first episode subbed on YouTube when only the first couple of eps were out. I was dealing with a lot of lovely home and school issues at that time, and the show wound up reigniting a childlike excitement in me, where I would be looking forward to new rips uploaded to YouTube every friday evening to give me a bunch of laughs that honestly helped me cope with things.

Outside of that though, I found a couple of shows that I wound up watching as they aired, such as Persona 4 the Animation and Mysterious Girlfriend X, but I didn't really deep dive into seeing what everything was that was airing in a season, and watching it alongside other people, until early 2016, a few months after I started regularly posting in ADTRW.

e: Dub or sub or does it matter for this one?

It's really preference on this one. I would say overall the subs are probably better, since the performance of the english VAs is all over the place in quality, but Chris Patton does a fantastic job as the main character Satou, and us even better than the Japanese Seiyuu in my opinion.

seems like the anime purge is continuing since apparently amazon isn't stocking light novels anymore.

or a bunch of them, at least. elf-san, NGNL, next life as a vilainess, how not to summon a demon lord, etc from what I've heard.

There was an article posted on Anime News Network about it. It's not the actual physical books being pulled, but several digital versions on kindle that are being delisted/etc. Apparently they don't meet whatever arbitrary standards Kindle's services requires of them (or also possibly, some higher up hates trashy light novels :shrug: )

It's okay. I don't know how many people will post there, but it's fine.

Though this paragraph in the OP is completely pointless:

quote:

For instance, I read the entirety of the Arc 4 Web Novel in 2017, which covers the current season of Re:Zero. The Web Novel is where the series began, and has left off near the end of the 6th Arc. The Light Novel, based on the WN and adapted/revised for general consumption (Yen Press) has almost caught up to the Web Novel, and will soon surpass it (as the author has abandoned the WN). There are 11 Arcs planned. We're gonna be here all decade.

I mean it's a LN/WN thread, so I don't see any point for tagging spoilers unless a new book comes out and you want something like a weeklong moratorium on spoilers then. That's up to you since you are the thread OP.

I guess I'm the only one that's just a little bothered by this?

I mean, I don't see people really complain about what happened at the end of Nadia between Marie and Sanson.

Nah, I get the concerns, but at the same time it's 1) a fictional narrative 2) an old story by an old mangaka 3) the setting is in ancient japan 4) whether you consider it child grooming or not is really a matter of degrees based on viewer interpretation.

how was planet with I don't really see anybody talk about it much

I enjoyed it a lot. Definitely has a lot of Satoshi Mizukami's sensibilities as far as writing, humor, and themes. It could have possibly benefited from having a few more episodes for exploring the characters a bit more, especially towards the ending, allowing for a bit more of a naturalistic pacing, but the brevity of the show Is in of itself a benefit, giving the show a rather kinetic energy that makes it easy to binge. I'd definitely recommend it.
