anime

Maybe as a 1-off joke OVA it works

but how is this an 11-epsidoe show

Just downloaded it, will watch it later

6.5 hour bus ride, then passione show

lets get it

enjoy your redeye

honestly I vote you just watch it on the bus

powerplay

I am off the bus

I left 9 hours ago

lol

The dream is dead

I have faith in Passione

Why did the nukitashi op have a ubw reference

Now that everything has aired, he's my final list of shows 5* Clevatess Takopii no Genzai 4* City the Animation Dainanaoji S2 Dandadan Dr. Stone S4 Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu Kaoru Hana wa Rin to Saku Mizuzokusei no Mahoutsukai New Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt S2 Ruri no Houseki Silent Witch - Chinmoku no Majo no Kakushigoto Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru S2 Watashi ga Koibito ni Nareru Wake Nai jan, Muri Muri!

I think Water Mage has a lot of potential, but since it's a LN adap I sadly expect it will play things too safe

Dr.Stone may as well be labeled S8 at this point, because of how they do split cours, with each being its own self-contained arc As much as I like it, I can't tell how much of that is sunk cost at this point

and Dainanaoji continues to be the best show that I think will filter 90% of people

Clevatess has been great so far

I have been hankering for some actual fantasy non isekai (or native 🤮 isekai)

Frieren was good for that, but not quite the vibe I was hoping for, this is moreso it

I will confirm, Clevatess is 100% fantasy

not a native isekai or isekai adjacent

You know my hankering for fantasy shows was bad when I watched old shit lol

Lodoss war was okay, still need to someday (tm) finish the 1998 version that I only got 11/28 episodes into

oh lol, you weren't kidding

you went super old school

Pika forced to watch old shows is like nails on a chalkboard to him kappa

I assumed you meant you watched Claymore or something from the 2000s

Lodoss is straight 90s

No lol, I saw Lodoss getting shilled by some guy on twitter

it was alright, ending was kind of rushed though

also they aired episode 5 as episode 1 for no reason

Syren, I do await the arc where Pika decides to actually watch old stuff

I have so much stuff post 2005 that I want to watch so keep waiting

why '05

No reason, I picked an arbitrary year post 2000

I know I have some stuff from like 2008ish probably on my wheel of anime

Its mostly going to be shows between 2008 and 2014 (the period that is almost modern but before I was watching anime)

also not 100+ episodes long

the actual volume of "old" shows worth watching isn't that high

Yeah, thats also what I figured

because there was just less of it

Looking through old mal seasons and seeing which shows were forgotten to time or not is funny

The 90's is cool if you like looking at traditional art or whatever

Not the biggest fan of the older artstyle, I think some older artstyles can look nice, but some looks meh to me

there are probably <10 shows that I'd even recommend from the 80s (excluding movies and OVAs)

And its all of gundum just to force me to watch all of gundum

It is mostly movies for me I really can't think of many old series

^

Syren you are the main older show guy I know, but I guess your older shows are 90s shows

When I see an older show I've heard of I just assume Syren has seen it

1997-2007 imo is where a lot of classic shows came from

before the big upsurge in modern anime

I am not saying good shows did not come out beyond those years, but that is the peak of anime

or however the copypasta goes

I think 2008ish era has some charm when you were getting stuff like index, shana, etc

uh, original fate

those are the only things I can think of

but I know there is some good shows from that era

I think I said this in vc at some point

but Shana to me was the bridge between the old era and the new

for a bunch of reasons

S1 in 2005 ---> S3 in 2011

culturally, technically, socially, etc

Moribito and Kemono no Souja Erin are great fantasy anime. Moribito is a fair bit more fast-paced, Erin is relaxing.

Twelve Kingdoms is technically isekai but it's just my favorite fantasy show if you can follow the politics.

Welcome back Jashin-chan x2

I didn't realize the dude in the game center show was in college. This show is even funnier since its about a middleschooler college dude romance

In Japan that could techncially be <3 years apart

even though in this case, it's clearly 5+

Yeah

is the show any good?

Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu is so stressful, fuck.

It does a good job not blueballing for the whole episode

I assume it's 24 episodes, no way the could fully adapt it in 12

Its fine

Its jaring because half of it is just in English
